Chapter 340 - THE JAR OF MISFORTUNE (1/2)

”What is this???”

Long Yue said as he walked closer to a jar sitting at the corner of the room.

It managed to catch his attention because it was the only item in the place that did not have a tablet beside it.

Long Yue took hold of its upper cover and slowly lifted it up.

”What's was inside it??”

Mu Lingxi asked as she also tried to peak at the content of the jar.

But to their dismay, the plain-looking jar contained nothing especial.

”It was just a jar of water.”

Long Yue said with a shrug of his shoulder.

But just when he was about to close the lid of the jar, the water inside it started to boil and this managed to strike a  chord in their curiosity.

So to feed their curious minds, both Mu Lingxi and Long Yue peaked again at the inside of the jar for the second time around

This time, they even moved their face closer to the opening of the jar and stared longer at the water inside it.

But what they saw next made the hair in the back of their necks to stand on its ends.

The image only lasted for just a brief second, but it was all enough to make both Long Yue and Mu Lingxi faces to be drained with all of its colors.

It was as if their faces run out of blood right after they were done looking at the water inside the jar.

Even their limbs went limped and it felt numb and for some reason unknown even for themselves, their body also started to tremble. Most likely due to fright and shock

Long Yue immediately shut the lid of the jar close and he even stepped back a little away from the jar. Mu Lingxi also did the same.

They looked at one another and there they saw that the fear that they felt right at that moment was being reflected on each other's faces.

The expression that they saw at one another also confirmed that they both saw the same frightening thing inside the jar

The class saw how two of their classmates were frightened silly right after looking at the water inside the jar so they also put a safe distance between them and the jar.

No one wanted to get any bit closer to the jar.

But contrary to what the whole class felt, Yun Xue and the others felt more intrigued than scared.

They wonder what had happened to their friends and what exactly did they saw inside. As such they immediately went to their side to asked them about it.

”What happened???”

Long Fuzi asked as he supported his younger brother.

”I saw something inside...”

Long Yue said still with a quivering voice as if what he just saw really frightened him to his core.

”What do you mean you saw something inside??? You mean, this?? But there was nothing but water inside”

Chan Gu said as he lifted the lid up and also tried to peek at the water inside the jar.

”Wait for it to boil!.”

Mu Lingxi told her friend since that was how they saw the image at the water

It was only after the water inside the jar boiled did the water started to show them something.

But Chan Gu already waited for more than 10 seconds yet he still got no response from the jar nor noticed anything odd in the water inside it at all.

”No boiling, no image and nothing aside from pure and crystal clear water..”
