At 1:17 in the morning, Lin Xiaogu squatted on the balcony of the seventh floor, staring at the pot of mushrooms that had just sprouted in front of him.
It is said to be a mushroom, but it is actually a small white umbrella the size of a fingernail, glowing under the moonlight. She stretched out her hand and poked one of them. It was soft and smelled like earth after the rain.
"Be good, it's long. I'll be able to take photos of you and send them to Moments tomorrow morning."
After she finished talking to herself, she poured another half glass of water into the flowerpot, then patted the soil on her hands with satisfaction and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
The moment she stood up, a small sound suddenly came from outside the balcony.
It was like something was growing crazily in the wall, the joints crackling and squeezing out from the cracks.
Lin Xiaoguu froze on the spot, and the water glass in his hand fell to the ground.
She looked down at the flower pot - the mushrooms, which were no bigger than her little finger, were expanding, splitting, and growing upward at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the caps were opened, they made a popping sound, as if there was something alive breathing inside.
"No..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the flowerpot completely shattered.
