Chapter 15: Surfacing

The students in a class were frightened, afraid that the teacher's current gentleness would be the cruelty of waiting for the exam. This situation is not unheard of for them. It's just that they guessed wrong this time, Fan Xiaoxiao didn't mention the test until the end of class, and he didn't assign any homework.

She just smiled at the students below after the bell rang, and then walked out of the classroom in amazement.

Fan Xiaoxiao has never laughed in front of students, she has always been serious and rigid, but it is such a person who does not smile all year round that can make people sink into her smile and can't extricate themselves.

Seeing a group of children who were shocked by themselves, Fan Xiaoxiao returned to the office in a good mood all the way. There was no one else in the office, presumably in class or in the lab.

Fan Xiaoxiao thought that she had done half of the experiment before, but there was still no progress, and she rubbed her forehead with a headache, planning to go to the laboratory to see the situation first, if the experimental results were not right with expectations, she would have to reverse the assumptions and recalculate.

Fan Xiaoxiao sighed, bent down to take out the data of this experiment from the locked drawer on the side, and walked downstairs.

The laboratories are a bit far away, and in order to facilitate the integrated management of the research of teachers and students, H University has concentrated all the laboratories in the northwest corner of the university. Fan's small office building is on the east side of H University, so she mostly has to bypass most of the campus every time she goes to the lab.

This time was no exception.

Fan Xiaoxiao held a thick stack of materials, looked at the shady small bamboo forest not far in front of her, and looked up at the hot asphalt road baked by the sun on the side, she was a little hesitant whether to go that way. If she didn't go this way, she would have to walk a long way, and she really didn't have the strength; But if she walked this way, she couldn't help but feel a chill when she thought of the girl who was still in the hospital.

Maybe she has been with Yu for a long time, and she inexplicably feels that the girl's affairs are not as simple as they appear.

"What are you thinking, how do you stay here and stay still?" It's Xu Wenqing.

Seeing that it was him, Fan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "This is over, are you also going to the laboratory?" ”

"There are a few sets of data that are skewed, and I plan to recalculate them."

"Then let's go over together!" Fan Xiaoxiao said that if there is someone walking together, he will not be so afraid.

As soon as I stepped into the small bamboo forest, I felt the chill blowing in my face, it was obviously a dog day, and it was hot to walk outside, but when I entered the bamboo forest, it was instantly cold.

Fan Xiaoxiao's intuition was wrong, she glanced at Xu Wenqing on the side, and saw that the other party frowned slightly as if she was puzzled, she secretly stroked the ring on her hand, secretly cheered herself up in her heart, and looked around vigilantly.

They walked along the trail, and saw that there were no accidents on the way, Fan Xiaoxiao was still a little happy, until Xu Wenqing reminded her: "We have been walking for half an hour, and it stands to reason that we should have gone out a long time ago, but ......"

Fan Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and looked at the long passage in front of him, which seemed to have no end, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

She took out her phone and looked at the time on the phone interface, it was still 10:05, which means that the time in here is still.

The long way they felt they had walked before was also an illusion, but in fact they had not moved at all.

Fan Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him, it was no different from before, the most intuitive feeling was that these bamboos were a lot of spirit, although there were special gardeners to take care of them before, but now there is such a smart feeling like life has never appeared.

Life?

While Fan Xiaoxiao was observing this bamboo forest, Xu Wenqing had already picked a leaf and walked over. "These bamboos seem to be mutated, I don't know what they are affected by, but they seem to be conscious, and when I touched them just now, they moved."

As he spoke, he handed her the bamboo leaves in his hand, Fan Xiaoxiao took the leaves in his hand, and as soon as the bamboo leaves arrived in her hands, they seemed to have life, rubbing Fan Xiaoxiao, and Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Wenqing with some surprise.

"When I touched it just now, it was like this," Xu Wenqing said.

Fan Xiaoxiao looked down at the leaves in her hand, and suddenly, she seemed to hear someone talking in her ear, and her voice was delicate and tender, "You...... You can't go any further, for there is ...... ahead It's the territory of a big demon, and she's fierce...... Even the water wouldn't let us drink. The staccato sound reached her ears, and she looked at the leaves in her hand with some magic, surprised to find that she could hear their thoughts clearly.

This leaf is sending a message, that is, don't go any further, the front is dangerous, although it is not very complete, but it does have a thought.

Since she couldn't go any further, Fan Xiaoxiao tried to go back, she returned the bamboo leaves to the bamboo forest, and said to Xu Wenqing: "Since it doesn't work to go forward, then let's go back, let's go out first." ”

Xu Wenqing nodded and responded: "Okay!" ”

Sure enough, not long after this time, the two walked out of the bamboo forest and felt the heat of the sun, and the two felt that they were still alive.

"The bamboo forest is very weird, let's not go in first", Fan Xiaoxiao finished speaking, looked at his phone, it was almost eleven o'clock, so calculated, they stayed in the bamboo forest for at least nearly an hour, "It's almost eleven o'clock, now I have to come out of the laboratory in a while, I plan to eat first, what about you?" ”

Xu Wenqing's expression was still a little trance-like, probably because he had never encountered such a strange thing since he lived so much. Fan Xiaoxiao didn't answer when he saw him, and he wasn't unhappy, but after encountering this abnormal phenomenon, he probably showed the same or more frightened behavior as him.

She didn't do that at first.

Fan Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and asked him again what he meant, and when he said that he wanted to be alone and couldn't eat with her, she said very boldly that she had nothing to do with it, and then went to the cafeteria to eat.

Xu Wenqing looked at Fan Xiaoxiao's back, who was very scared all the way, but seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, the bulge between his eyebrows became more and more obvious, and his eyes became more and more unfathomable.

Fan Xiaoxiao thought about what happened just now while walking, and when Xiao Zhuye said that there was a terrible demon in front of her, she thought of a possibility, Zhang Yuwei's matter was likely to be related to this demon, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, the place where the girl had an accident happened to be on the edge of the demon's lair.

It's a pity that I didn't ask it clearly just now, so I thought I would ask Yudu when I went home.
