Chapter 17: Mushrooms

Curiosity is something that everyone has, and Americans are especially curious, not only do they have amazing curiosity, but they often make a series of actions to surprise others in order to answer their curiosity.

Jace, whose full name is Jace Fattaq, is such a curious person who loves to explore.

Last night, a strange red light fell from the sky and fell into the territory of Mount St. Helen, and almost half of the people in the entire area saw it with their own eyes.

What is that strange red light?

UFO? A mysterious weapon? Meteorites from beyond the sky? Or is it a peculiar life that has never been recorded in history?

A curiosity was stirring in his heart, and the sky was slightly bright, and Jace rose up the mountain with a spirit of exploration.

Perennial fitness, coupled with frequent hiking and excursions, made Jace quite physique and experienced, and it took him less than three hours to climb the mountain.

I found a random piece of ground and sat down, ready to rest for a while.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and drank it with his head up.

Wiping away the beads of sweat from his forehead, Jace began to look around curiously as he rested, and in the hearts of curious people, all unknown things are so attractive.

Suddenly, Jace's somewhat tired eyes lit up with a brilliant glow, a glow of excitement at seeing something interesting.

Jace stood up, unaware of the fact that he was already quite tired, and slowly walked towards a mysterious bulge not far away.

It's a hillside-like bump that's brown throughout, but instead of being rocky, the surface is soft, smooth.

It looks, just like ......... Umbrella cover of mushrooms.

However, this thing doesn't look like a real canopy, because it's so big, and it looks like it's nearly a meter in diameter.

Moreover, on the surface, there are some large black spots, which are quite even, not like the traces of natural growth, but more like a pattern that has been set up by the standard.

Jace, who has been engaged in mountaineering for many years, is not very knowledgeable, but he still has some knowledge of the wilderness.

Let's not talk about whether mushrooms can grow on the volcano, just because it's so big, this strange appearance is definitely not normal.

Driven by curiosity, the man is never afraid of the unknown and danger, Jace took out a pair of gloves from his backpack and put them on his hand, then grabbed the mysterious raised side and began to tear and flip hard.

In just three seconds, Jace hurriedly let go of his hands.

It's not that he can't lift this strange thing, it's that there's something wrong with Jace's hand.

Jace looked down and saw that his gloves had been wet with a strange liquid, which had terrible corrosive power, and Jace's gloves began to corrode and dissolve, and Jace hurriedly took off the gloves and threw them out.

The glove that had been thrown into the air had not even hit the ground before it had been corroded into a puddle of liquid, emitting a strange gas.

"Shit! What the hell is this! ”

"Boom ............"

There was a sudden dull loud tremor on the ground, and the ground within ten meters of it began to shake violently, with rubble rushing and earth splattering everywhere.

There was a deep uneasiness in Jace's heart, and this sudden scene, coupled with the mysterious liquid from before, made Jace's heart tremble.

People with a strong sense of curiosity even leave their lives behind in order to explore the unknown, but this does not mean that they are not afraid of death.

"Poof! Poof! Puff ........."

Suddenly, there was a sound similar to a heartbeat all around, and the sound became more and more alarming.

Jace followed the voice, and finally his gaze fell on the mysterious bulge that resembled a mushroom umbrella from earlier.

At this time, the whole bulge was shaking slightly, and if you look closely, you will find that the shaking of this mushroom-like thing coincides with the vibration of the ground.

Jace subconsciously began to retreat, and he began to realize that this thing like a mushroom umbrella cover was not a good thing.

"Bump!"

The surrounding soil exploded, and this thing, which looked like a mushroom umbrella cover, actually rebelled against the laws of life and began to grow at an extremely fast pace.

The canopy was lifted, and a thick stem appeared below, and the stem had appeared, and the mysterious existence continued to grow, and finally, the bottom ......... was revealed A pair of legs!

"Goo-dong!"

Jace looked at the huge mushroom monster that was close to him at this time, reaching a height of nearly two meters, and swallowed his saliva fiercely.

The surface of the canopy was mysteriously rippling, and finally two openings were opened, revealing a pair of huge eyes.

"Oh, Shet!"

Jace, who could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, scolded under his breath, turned and ran.

Looking at Jace who was fleeing, a red light appeared in the eyes of the mushroom monster who stood up, and a pair of small short legs stepped forward, and began to pursue Jace at a speed twice as fast as Jace.

It was already between the mountainsides, and there were quite a lot of obstacles around it, plus Jace's speed was much slower than the monster, and it didn't take long for him to be caught up by the mushroom monster.

"Help!"

Jace let out a loud roar, followed by a series of wails of pain.

In the end, everything returned to calm, all around, the silence was terrible, and the silence was chilling.

………………

In the rental house, with a heavy face, Kodak sat quietly and suddenly turned around, looked through the window, and looked at the distant end.

"What's the matter, what's the situation with this feeling of depression that suddenly rises in my heart?"

"Restless, depressed, heavy, like a premonition before the storm, there seems to be something terrifying, gradually revived."

Kodak pondered for a moment, then looked at the mysterious box on the table.

"Is that you? Are you responsible for this strange feeling? ”

"What did you open before?"

The mystery box did not answer Kodak's doubts, just like an ordinary box, and there was no difference at this time.

"Last time, with the appearance of the red wolf pan, there was a recipe, but this time, there was not even a recipe."

"There was nothing but that vanishing red light."

"This feeling of oppression and uneasiness is definitely not an illusion."

"It seems, something terrible, I released from the box."
