Chapter 115: Sneaking In
After Lu Yibei left, Professor Ma stayed in the lab, flipping through the bamboo scrolls back and forth with complicated feelings.
“Damn it, why didn’t I show him the original scrolls? I should’ve shown him!”
Hand on his forehead, he stared at the bamboo scrolls and watched as the symbols danced in his vision.
They seemed to enthral him, forcing him to gaze at their intricate, distorted dance.
Suddenly, that disgusting stench broke into his nose again, and just like last time, it smelled very close to him once again.
Professor Ma couldn’t help but groan as he covered his mouth and nose, and the stench broke him free of the scroll’s enthrallment. Glancing at his watch, he realised it was already half past seven, and the sky outside was almost ink-black.
“No, no. I have to go home. Can’t let the cleaning lady babble again.”
He hurriedly stuffed the scrolls back into the box, tossed them into the storage closet, and left the lab in a hurry.
After locking the door to the lab, he frowned as he was greeted with an intense stench. It was much stronger, as if an invisible river of rot flowed through the corridor, accompanied by bursts of low-pitched singing.
