Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

The shoulder straps of the school bag are designed to absorb sweat and breathe. The inner side is made of mesh material, and the inner side is lined with soft sponge. At this time, the weather is already too hot.When carrying a heavy schoolbag and walking for a while under the midsummer sun, the inside of the straps will become slightly wet due to soaking in sweat.What Lu You touched at the moment was a more obvious wet and heavy feeling than that, as if the sponge inside had been soaked; the tarpaulin outside the strap was sticky, and his fingers seemed to be stuck when touched. It seems to be slipping again, weird and disgusting.

Before the terrifying fantasy emerged in his mind, Lu You first smelled a familiar aura.

The sweetness is mixed with fishy smell, just a faint wisp floats into the nasal cavity, but it is so vivid that it arouses a chain reaction of taste—like eating an apple cut with a knife that has just cut raw meat.Moreover, the pulp has begun to rot, exuding a subtle sour smell, mixed together, and becoming particularly disgusting.

Lu You twirled his fingers subconsciously, feeling a special slippery and sticky texture on his fingertips.He was still trembling when he first walked into the dark classroom, but at this moment he didn't realize how weird the situation was, and just tried to recall the source of that familiarity.

where is it...

correct.Lu You remembered: it was at Yuan Xiaoxiao's home.

It was a long time ago.It should be when he was just entering junior high school, Yuan Xiaoxiao's mother asked him to have lunch that day.Her mother's full name is Zhou Chen, which is a somewhat masculine name, and Lu You always calls her Aunt Zhou.He often went over to have a meal, and Aunt Zhou refused to charge for the food, but she didn't mind if he came in advance to help prepare the ingredients or wash the dishes.Lu You had already forgotten whether he was looking for chili sauce or something else, and found a glass jar containing dark red mud from the depths of the cabinet.

The label on the bottle is "Strawberry Jam", but the puree looks a little cloudy and dark, it seems not very fresh.Lu You suspected that Aunt Zhou made strawberry jam a long time ago and stuffed it into the cabinet, and then forgot about the existence of this thing... In order to verify whether it can still be eaten, Lu You unscrewed the lid to smell it, and was almost caught by the head The smell that rushed into the nasal cavity smoked.

The smell was about a hundred times stronger than what he smelled now, and it could be regarded as a biochemical weapon. Even Aunt Zhou who was outside at the time was startled by the smell within five seconds of him opening the jar, and rushed back out of the kitchen.Aunt Zhou quit her job after her daughter was born and became a housewife. She has always been proud of keeping her house in order. The jar of "spoiled strawberry jam" that Lu You found seemed to make her feel extremely embarrassed. Lu You's smiling face was stiff.

Lu You didn't have the nerve to say that even though the can was thrown away at that time, the disgusting smell lingered stubbornly in the kitchen for a week or two before it gradually dissipated... because the three members of the Yuan family seemed to be very fond of it. He didn't notice it, so in order not to let the embarrassment continue to escalate, Lu You had no choice but to pretend that he didn't smell anything.Fortunately, the adaptability of the human sense of smell is very strong, and it will not be so disgusting after getting used to it.

Thinking about what this smell is at this moment, the first thought that came to Lu You's mind was: I can't have this schoolbag... He still remembers how stubborn this smell is. To be around, there is a conditioned urge to vomit.After the nausea subsided, Lu You thought of the question that should have been answered earlier: Why did this thing stick to his schoolbag?

Because the smell and touch were almost exactly the same as those in memory, Lu You didn't even think about guessing other than "spoiled jam", which was a waste of the horror atmosphere that lasted all the way.He complained in his heart about the imprudent guy who brought this kind of thing to school and spilled it. No matter how he looked at it in the dark, he felt that there was a large area of ​​black on his desk, as if he had poured a whole bottle on it.Lu You didn't want to try to keep this kind of thing on his desk overnight. With one hand, he was carrying the heavy backpack full of books, and with the other hand he went to his pocket for a tissue, thinking about wiping it. wipe.

As the footsteps moved slightly, the ground in contact with the soles also felt sticky.In the darkness, the subtle sound of sticking and separating seems to be the sound of chewing that has been lightened many times.Lu You, who lowered his head, didn't notice that on the back wall of the classroom, a large shadow of dense seaweed clinging to the wall, like a large tangle of dense seaweed, began to squirm silently; In the darkness, countless slender "branches" protruded, along the ceiling, along the walls, along the ground, quietly approaching the people separated by only an aisle and a row of seats.

Under the desk, which is too dark to distinguish the outline, the "branches" that seem to be condensed by thick liquid are entangled with each other, stretching upward, stretching... The mud squeezed into the wooden board of the desk and appeared due to old age The cracks spread rapidly in the desk like mycelium.After planting in just a few seconds, the ends of the "twigs" protruded from the edge of the desk. They swayed maliciously in the air, almost touching Lu You's finger holding the tissue——

Lu You wiped the table twice, then withdrew his hand with a frown.The stain on the tabletop was much more stubborn than he had imagined, and it seemed to have dried and solidified, turning into a slightly elastic, equally disgusting texture, and it might not be able to be wiped off in a short time.What's more...it's pitch black here, and he can't see anything clearly, and his hand holding the schoolbag is starting to feel sore, so it's really not convenient for cleaning.

... Another reason, Lu You was a little ashamed to admit: he always felt that something was moving in the dark, and there was a rustling sound in his ears from time to time-but it should be just the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside.As a boy, he is still afraid of the dark and ghosts, not even Yuan Xiaoxiao, who is stupid and bold. A certain kind of subtle self-esteem unique to this age makes Lu You want to hide this "shortcoming", even if he is alone, he still insists on it. with.

But after staying in the empty classroom for a few minutes, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. Now that he realized that the stain couldn't be wiped off for a while, he was actually grateful for a moment, and immediately made a decision: go back first and forget it.

It's good to keep the "criminal evidence" on the table, come tomorrow and ask who did it...

Thinking so, Lu You rubbed the stained side of the paper to the inside and held it in his hand, carefully keeping the distance between the backpack and his body, turned and walked towards the door of the classroom.Those "branches" protruding from the edge of the desk froze for a while, as if they didn't understand why the prey, which had been behaving well until then, suddenly ran away, and then moved indomitably again after a few seconds, tightly Chasing Lu You's footsteps continued to move forward.

Some "branches" even blatantly climbed onto the window glass, and under the weak light outside, they showed a dark red color like old bloodstains.As if the horrible scene of germ infection was spreading in the peripheral vision, Lu You seemed to be aware of it, and was about to turn his head to look at it, when he tripped for no reason, and the backpack in his hand hit the chair next to him, and there was a sudden sound in the silence He was startled, and the movement of turning his head suddenly turned into bowing his head.

The "branches" on the ground, which had reached an extremely close distance, also froze again at the same moment.But, not because of the sound—

Some kind of breath that ordinary people can't detect surrounds this classroom.Something far more terrifying than a monster had descended on the corridor separated by a wall. The "branches" trembled in horror, and began to retreat quickly as if they were being burned. The scene was like a reverse shot of a raging black flood, and they did not dare to make a sound because of fear.At the same time, Lu You was devastated thinking, "Did something trip me just now?" He couldn't help but walked out slowly, and rushed out of the classroom by the strap of his schoolbag without even daring to lift his head.

Both parties were frightened to death, and they separated quickly. The group of "twigs" in the classroom curled up in the corner where the cleaning tools were placed. After leaving the classroom, Lu You ran across the corridor in one breath, not daring to stay in the panic. Run downstairs.

The moment he went out, he entered the classroom through the gap in the window to avoid being discovered. He wanted to do something else to deal with the black shadow in the corner. The people who ran away in panic chased after them—the human body is too fragile, it would be terrible if they stepped on the air and fell down the stairs in a panic.

Lu You didn't know that someone was busy worrying about his life in the dark. He didn't feel a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart until he ran out of the stairs and saw the lights on the playground.Not far away, a teacher who just got off work was walking out. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and cast a puzzled look at Lu You, who was holding his knees and gasping for breath, still in shock.Lu You blushed unconsciously, straightened up quickly pretending nothing happened, tried hard to calm down his beating heart, and walked towards the school gate at a normal pace.

The shoulder strap of the schoolbag was deformed in his hands, and a little dark red liquid squeezed out from the sponge, staining his fingers.Lu You transferred the clean strap of the schoolbag to the other hand, and opened his palm to look under the light. Seeing the messy red marks on his skin, he felt uncomfortable again.Once he recovered from his fear of ghosts, he couldn't stand the dirty things on his hands.

But it can't be cleaned with paper towels.Lu You looked up at the sink on the side of the playground.Although the location is a bit off, it is still covered by the shadow of a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees, it feels gloomy, and it is very close to the equipment room that is said to be haunted... Lu You hesitated for a moment, and the sticky feeling on his hands immediately became clear. He gritted his teeth and walked there anyway.

The branches and leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree shook a few times, and before Lu You arrived, he became quiet again, without being noticed by him.The pair of eyes hidden in the depths of the osmanthus leaves watched Lu You turn on the faucet and put his hand under the water flow. The water dyed light red flowed through the white tiles at the bottom of the sink and poured into the drain... The diluted red water spread out There was a particularly fishy smell.Gulu Gulu, there was a slight sound coming from the water pipe, and countless "branches" crowded and squirmed in the pipe, but was forcibly blocked under the outlet by a layer of salty sea water.

Lu You was vigilant under the sink where there was nothing strange, shivering surrounded by all kinds of shadows, while unconsciously washing off the dark red half-dried mucus on his hands, rubbing the straps, and using Soap left by the sink.He also heard the slight sound in the water pipe, so before leaving, he kindly picked up the fallen leaves and dead branches that were blocking the drain.

There was a smile in the peeping eyes, watching the person who was frightened in the wrong way leave from the sink, and then followed silently.It wasn't until Lu You's back disappeared around the corner that the door of the equipment room not far behind Guishu shook, and a sound that seemed to be roaring unwillingly and whimpering in fear came from inside, spreading far away in the night, slowly dissipate slowly...
