Chapter 14: The Nest Man
"You're Chen An's parent, right?"
Mr. Gao sat down across from the man and pulled out the materials from a stack of papers on his desk.
“……”
The middle-aged man turned his head, he didn't speak, the weird smile on his face matched the blue and white face, stiff as if it had been welded with a plaster mask.
"Are you Chen An's parent?"
Teacher Gao was a little uncomfortable stared at by his gaze, subconsciously frowned, forcibly held back the boredom in his heart, and repeated it again.
After a long while, it wasn't until Teacher Gao repeated it several times that the man nodded slowly.
No matter what she said, the expression on this guy's face never changed, and he kept smiling weirdly, more like he didn't listen to her at all.
In the process, Mr. Gao also noticed that the color of the man's pupils was unusually cloudy, the white of the pupils was a dull yellow, and the pupils were white like sediment...... In short, it is not like a pair of eyes of a living person;
When a man looks at someone else, his gaze is as unfocused as if he is blind, as if he is staring into the void.
While talking to him, Mr. Gao secretly muttered to himself, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt a little hairy.
This man...... Could it be that there is something wrong with the brain? How did his family let such a person come......
Teacher Gao sighed, and she held her forehead again, feeling that her mind was aching.
Recently, she has been too busy, and the double pressure of work and family has almost overwhelmed her.
She became grumpy and slept badly; In addition, when people reach middle age, their energy and physical vitality are declining, so ......
Therefore, it's just that my nerves are too sensitive, so I can't help but think about it.
As long as you survive this period of time, you will be fine, and as long as your life returns to normal, everything can get back on track.
She thought as she tried her best to ignore the oddity.
Her eyes casually caught a glimpse of the two students not far away, who were standing by the door, their expressions very nervous.
Ji Chunzao, and Yan Jingxing.
These two are dormitory students, but they sneak around in the town and get caught by themselves, and this reaction is normal.
However, at this moment, their eyes did not look at themselves, but looked at the man sitting opposite without blinking-
……
"This ...... What's going on? Ji Chunzao grabbed his hair, "After losing his brain, he can still ...... like a normal person"
"No, this guy doesn't look like a normal person at all."
Yan Jingxing shook his head.
He saw it very clearly just now, no matter what Mr. Gao said, this man did not make any suitable reaction, but always had a smirking expression, which made people shudder.
"I think there's only a little instinct left in him." "Half of the man's brain has been eaten by the presence of the 'astronaut,' but the remaining half is still driving the body to move and make some basic reactions. ”
"Possibly."
Ji Chunzao nodded, his little face full of uneasiness.
"But why did this man come here, is it really a coincidence?"
……
After a while, Mr. Gao finally finished his work.
Seeing that the man on the other side was still smiling strangely, he didn't listen to her words at all, and the anger in her heart came up again.
If it weren't for the fact that she was really busy right now and wanted to end it early, she would definitely have to talk about this person well.
Can a person like him be a good parent? It's just putting all the blame on the school.
Teacher Gao said in a stiff tone:
"It seems that you don't care about this, so let's do it first, and I'll let him come and talk to you."
She stood up, but the man sitting across from her sat in his chair and didn't move.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you can do? ”
The smirking man didn't answer. He twisted his neck slightly, to the left, to the right, to the left, to the right, and the green tendons that erupted under the loose skin rose and fell with his movements, almost like worms crawling underneath.
What a weirdo. Teacher Gao stared at him, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and planned to go out to find someone to take him away.
But at this moment—
"Let's go!"
"Teacher Gao, run!"
The two junior high school students standing in the doorway shouted at her in unison, their tones full of anxiety.
"Huh?"
As soon as Mr. Gao turned his head, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow and pounced on him.
……
Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao watched worriedly, but they didn't know how to stop it. And things are indeed going in the worst direction as they imagined -
After Mr. Gao stood up, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by the strange man, and in the eyes of the young people, this scene was even more terrifying than imagined:
I saw the man's mouth open wide, his godless eyes bulging in the direction of the ceiling, and a wriggling colorful brilliance was crawling out of his mouth, one, then another......
The alien creature they called the "spirit leech" burst out of every cavity and orifice in his body and quickly crawled all over the man's body.
"How...... How could it be...... This is not the 'Advent'...... They have been hiding in this man's body! ”
Hearing Ji Chunzao next to him who was so frightened that he almost fainted, and then seeing Teacher Gao struggling desperately after being knocked down, one by one the wriggling leeches fell from the man and crawled onto the new victim's body...... Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth and felt that his hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
But can he just look at it and do nothing?
He looked around, picked up a trophy on the table, and wanted to rush up and smash the victim unconscious, at least pull Teacher Gao out.
But at this moment—
A "spirit leech" crawled down the man's back and jumped directly in the direction of the door.
Yan Jingxing was startled, and subconsciously waved the trophy in the direction in front of him.
Hit!
However, it feels like hitting a sponge that is not slippery.
At this moment, Yan Jingxing's eyes widened.
He saw it, and he saw it clearly......
The illusory light and shadow that had originally shrouded the "Spirit Leech" slowly disappeared, revealing its true face.
The swelling appearance, which was indeed similar to that of a leech that had been magnified more than a dozen times, was the true disgusting posture of the monster.
Dark, smooth skin, devoid of any organs, only sharp mouthparts twitching and writhing from the front hole, covered in blood.
"Smack."
The spirit leech fell to the ground, it crawled and writhed, and the most terrifying thing was that, with its ability, it could jump up at any time and pounce on the face of the person—
His attack didn't do anything at all, and there was only one in front of him; Teacher Gao, who was really attacked, had become miserable: the man controlled her hands, and worms broke out of her body and gathered into soft groups, causing her to be struggling and now crawling all over her body with "spirit leeches".
"Quick, let's go!"
Ji Chunzao's eager shouts came from behind.
Yan Jingxing turned his head to look and found that the girl was clutching her sleeve hard, and tears were already overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Jing Xing! I don't want you to ......"
He froze for a moment, gritted his teeth, and slammed the trophy into the "leech" on the ground.
It twisted its body to dodge, but at this time, he had already grabbed Ji Chunzao's hand and ran out of the office.
The little girl kicked the door shut, and the two ran down the hallway outside.
*
"This ...... This kind of thing...... Have you met before? ”
He ran out of breath and asked as he propped up the pole.
The two of them were just trying to escape the horrific scene, and they didn't stop until they were back on the street. The bustling crowd around them, the commonplace daily scenes, made them temporarily come to their senses.
"No ......"
Ji Chunzao's face turned pale and shook his head vigorously.
The man's miserable posture is simply ...... It's like the monsters have made human bodies into their own nests.
The large "leeches" crawled in and out of his body like a deepest nightmare of the worst.
He looked at his hands and saw that they were still shaking.
At this time, Yan Jingxing realized the problem of his mentality.
Although he witnessed the supernatural event and sensed the danger, he never felt it, and he never imagined that one day the person he knew would become a victim-
And he could only watch, and could do nothing.
This deep sense of powerlessness is the most painful. But this pain, Chunzao has experienced more than once.
He took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed his hand so that it stopped shaking. He remembered that the girls around him had done the same thing.
"Spring algae."
“…… Well? ”
"Shall we go back again?"
“…… When、Of course,We haven't done what we've planned.。 ”
Ji Chunzao snorted. Despite the palpitation in her eyes, the girl's thoughts remained firm and unchanging.
They were back in the building.
The sound in the office has long attracted the attention of others.
The teacher patrolling the corridor went to check the situation, but saw the scene of the man attacking Teacher Gao, and immediately screamed in panic.
Today, it's a mess.
There was such an accident, and there was no way to go up and down the class. The students in several cram schools all came out of the classrooms, looking around curiously and exchanging ears.
The entire corridor was crowded, and I heard that someone had called the police.
Listening to the discussion of the people around him, it seemed that nothing more terrible had happened after that, which made Yan Jingxing breathe a sigh of relief, and then he heard a voice of doubt coming from behind.
"You two, why are you here?"
Xie Yuzhi, who came out of the classroom, was standing behind them.
"Uh, we're here to see if we want to go to cram school......"
Yan Jingxing reacted quite quickly, but Ji Chunzao obviously didn't want to beat around the bush, and she walked over directly with an anxious face, wanting to grab her hand.
"Xie Yuzhi, leave this place with me!"
“……”
"What's going on?"
"A strange man attacked Mr. Gao, and we just ran out of the office—" Yan Jingxing said.
Ji Chunzao added loudly: "He was 'spirit leech'...... Alien creatures are possessed, and they want to create new victims! ”
“…… You're saying that again. ”
Xie Yuzhi sighed, it seemed that she didn't take her words to heart anymore, maybe it was because she was used to it.
"Forget it, I'll inquire for myself."
She decisively left the two of them and asked others for news, and the result was the same as the boy named Yan Jingxing.
When Xie Yuzhi walked back, he found that the two still had no intention of leaving.
They were looking at themselves worriedly. To be honest, Xie Yuzhi can naturally see that this worry is sincere.
However, its source is ridiculous, so for her, there is no way to recognize and accept it no matter what......
At this time, another small exclamation suddenly came from the direction of the office.
Teacher Gao was helped up, her face was very gloomy, she didn't seem to be injured, but her expression seemed to be accumulating something.
The middle-aged woman violently shook off the arm of the person next to her, and while walking into the crowd, she drove the students who were gathered in the corridor to watch the excitement backwards.
"All back! Go back! Don't crowd here, you still have to go to class! ”
Students naturally choose to listen to their teachers at times like these. Xie Yuzhi in the crowd planned to follow everyone into the classroom.
But just then, someone grabbed her hand again.
"Don't go!"
Ji Chunzao's attitude is very stubborn.
"Xie Yuzhi, please believe me once, don't go over!"
“…… The reason? ”
She slowly furrowed her brow.
"Teacher Gao is likely to have been entangled now!"
"So what?"
"It's going to go crazy! All those who are pestered will go crazy like a nervous breakdown...... You may die later, but it's dangerous, come with me! ”
Because Ji Chunzao's voice was too loud, everyone in the classroom heard it, and Xie Yuzhi, who was standing in the corridor, couldn't help but become the focus of everyone's attention.
The cram school, which had been quiet, seemed to have a tendency to stir again.
Xie Yuzhi's attitude was calm, she was used to being stared at by everyone, but now she was very disappointed with Chunzao's "headless and brainless" behavior, because this was not the first time it had happened.
"Yan Jingxing, you're her friend, right? Just messing around in public because of her temperament? ”
The eyes of the captain's classmates fell on him.
"No, she's right."
Yan Jingxing sighed, he felt that the chances of convincing the other party were very slim, but what should be said still had to be said,
"You need to get out of here and get away from Teacher Gao. Also, it's a good idea to get all the other people in the classroom to come out with you. ”
"Huh?"
Xie Yuzhi looked at him with a strange look, and only nodded slightly after a while.
“…… I see, I kind of understand, you are indeed all the way, so you can talk about it together. But I'm sorry, I won't accompany you. ”
With that, she turned and left.
However, Ji Chunzao still had no intention of letting go of his hand.
She whispered a little angrily:
"Let go!"
Ji Chunzao still didn't move. Xie Yuzhi became even more angry and began to stare at her.
The little girl pursed her lips tightly, with a stubborn look of "no matter what you say, I can't let go".
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense.
Yan Jingxing watched from the side, worried. If he, the boy, joined in to help, it would only make the situation even more out of control.
But Chunzao was right, Teacher Gao was attacked, and it is very likely that he has also been entangled by "leeches......
The stalemate scene of the three quickly attracted the attention of other students. Several people put their faces to the window and watched with great interest.
The small sound of the ear to ear never stopped.
And then—
Suddenly, there was an astonishing roar in the classroom.
"Enough of you! Enough is enough! ”
Teacher Gao slapped the desktop and blackboard with all his might, glaring viciously at each student's face.
Accompanied by "Knock knock! The bloodshot eyeballs turned unnaturally like ferocious animals, making people shudder.
The middle school students in the classroom were all frightened by her sudden outburst, and they were all silent.
