Chapter 25: The Iron Box
It's all this time, why are you asking this?
Qin Tao's mind changed a few times in an instant, but his face didn't show it.
"Principal Shan, I'...... I don't have much of a problem with the work. β
"It's okay to have no opinion. Teacher Qin, you still have to continue to work hard, and don't delay your business because of some illusions. β
"Yes, yes, Principal Shan, don't worry, I will work hard."
Qin Tao nodded again and again, accompanied by a smiling face, groveling.
What about dissatisfaction? What about shouting "I'm going to kill you" when no one is around? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
He was really helpless. The current job is his third job after graduating from college, and he finally got it after many interviews. He didn't want to lose his job because the pressure was really high when he was unemployed, and it was really hard to find a job.
Shan Shilin continued: "Teacher Qin, you should also know that now our campus is under my full responsibility. I'm sure you'll understand what to do. β
"Yes yes yes, I understand, I understand......"
Qin Tao forced out a smile and said again and again. But in his heart, the waves were already roaring.
What does he mean? Does he want me to help him? Was he threatening me?
Although Qin Tao lowered his head, his eyes widened.
Shan Shilin's heart relaxed slightly, and then he turned to look at the others.
He had completely believed the words that appeared on the walls. However, since he didn't see the second half of the content, he didn't know what he could do here.
What he could be sure of at the moment was that even if he walked out of the door, he would not be able to return to where he had beenβhis wife's company.
Here, obviously, it is a different space.
Shan Shilin doesn't like all kinds of fantasy works, but now, he believes from the bottom of his heart that this is not the world he was familiar with.
Cold drops stopped not far behind the far side of the division, quietly watching him and Yukino Takekami.
Shi Yuan glanced at her, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Here."
Yukino Takegami suddenly stopped moving, pointed to the front and said.
The others immediately approached and saw a rusty iron box.
The iron box is not large, only twenty centimeters square. There was a very old lock hanging from it, also covered in rust.
"The lock is sturdy."
Yukino Takegami tried to smash the stone a few times, but the lock showed no signs of breaking.
"It's not good. I finally found the iron box, but I couldn't open it. β
Yukino Takegami said with a little frustration.
At this moment, the entire "hill" unexpectedly trembled strangely.
It was as if there was a huge creature beneath the countless fragments of the stump, and the stump was undulating as if it were breathing.
Shi Yuan and the others immediately retreated quickly, quickly away from the "hill".
Soon, a strange low roar reached everyone's ears.
"What's that?"
Even those who are a little further away from here are aware of the change in the "hill".
Shi Yuan expanded the perception domain and worked hard to explore the situation inside the "hill".
He didn't see a black human form, but he did see a large expanse of eerie black.
The black area is too large, if it is really a humanoid, I am afraid that it will be more than thirty meters tall.
However, the black was shapeless, and it was constantly flowing like a liquid.
"Get out of here."
Shi Yuan whispered as he galloped into the distance.
Everyone was already nervous because of the strange changes in the "hill", and when they saw Shi Yuan suddenly running, they immediately followed.
For a while, everyone had an indescribable sense of fear, and they didn't dare to stand alone anymore, but subconsciously approached others.
Gradually, the crowd came together. Shi Yuan had also stopped, standing at the door and observing the situation.
Just when everyone was nervously looking at the "hill" that was still "breathing", a strange cry broke into everyone's eardrums.
"Ahh
Everyone was taken aback. Following the prestige, the person who made the voice was Wen Xue.
Her scream was so horrific and distinctly distorted that it was impossible to hear that it was her.
"What's the matter with you?"
Shi Yuan immediately said unhappily.
"I ...... I ......"
Wen Xue was terrified, and at the same time felt a little embarrassed. If someone else questioned her like this, she would have been angry. However, the other party was Shi Yuan, so she could only keep her head down and couldn't speak.
Shi Yuan suddenly thought, could it be that Wen Xue had encountered something similar? Could there be any clues in this?
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Wen Xue, did you remember something?" β
Wen Xue didn't speak, and nodded again and again.
"What do you remember?"
Shi Yuan glanced at "Xiaoshan" again and asked.
"That...... The box ......" Wen Xue pointed to the iron box that Takegami Xue was holding, "I've seen it." β
"You've seen it?"
"Yes, it's just a lot bigger than that. The year before last, I bought a snake as a pet because of my ability......"
Two years ago......
Wen Xue's temper is relatively hot, and she thinks very highly of herself, she always feels that she is a white rich beauty, and she ignores anyone, and only boys with higher appearance will be a little more enthusiastic.
One day, she noticed that someone was using a snake as a pet. Not to be outdone, she also bought a snake.
When buying the snake, the owner of the pet store gave her a box that he said would be used as a nest for the snake. There was also a lock on the box.
Wen Xue saw the one-meter-square iron box, frowned, and said, "How can I hold such a big iron box?" β
"You can rest assured that this box is made of special materials, which is both strong and lightweight, and you can easily pick it up."
Wen Xue was skeptical, so she gave it a try. Sure enough, I picked it up easily.
She put the snake in the iron box and took a taxi home.
Wen Xue raised snakes, but it was just a whim. After a few days, interest waned.
One day, she packed the snake into a crate and locked it on the outside, then left it behind.
This forgetfulness is a month.
When she finally remembered the snake, her first reaction was that the snake must have starved to death.
She didn't know anything about snakes and didn't know how long it would take to starve to death. However, it's been a month, there's nothing in that box, and it should be normal to die.
She opened the lock and lifted the lid.
She thought she would see a dead snake, but instead she saw that the snake was still alive and well.
Moreover, it also sheds its skin twice. Two snake skins were coiled around the two sides of the snake like two smaller snakes.
The moment the lid was opened, the snake looked straight at her, spitting out letters.
At that moment, Wen Xue felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant.
She felt that the snake hated her and wanted revenge.
She jerked the lid back shut, and locked it again.
This time, it took two months for her to get to the box with the key.
It's time to die this time, right?
