Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Curly Lion’s Mane
And inside, the window was tightly closed, with curtains drawn, obscuring any view.
But it inexplicably gave off an ominous feeling.
Jiang Yiqing, standing behind Mo Jun, whispered, “Do you really want to go in?”
“Yes!” Mo Jun nodded with determination.
In her quest to develop the Pill of Life, she wouldn’t miss any opportunity.
“But this place is so spooky, what if the professor is really terrifying?”
Mo Jun said with a chuckle, “How frightening can he be? He’s just a person.”
“But no one has ever seen him; he’s like a ghostly legend in this academy.” Jiang Yiqing didn’t want to take the risk and uneasily tried to persuade her, “Let’s just go, I have a bad feeling something will happen.”
Without answering, Mo Jun simply raised her hand and knocked on the door, “Excuse me, is anyone there?”
No one inside responded to her.
Mo Jun knocked a few times, but still no response.
“Could it be that there’s nobody here?” Jiang Yiqing guessed.

Mo Jun twisted the doorknob, and to her surprise, the door swung open—
With a creak, the door pushed open, and a cold draft hit them in the face!
Jiang Yiqing shivered violently.
Yet Mo Jun was taken aback by the laboratory equipment inside…
There were numerous pieces of experimental equipment, and in one beaker, an experiment was still underway, with an alcohol burner lit beneath it; the pale blue liquid inside was making a bubbling noise.
Mo Jun stood politely at the doorway and asked, “Is anyone there? I’m a student of the academy, here to learn about pharmaceuticals.”
“…” Without a doubt, there was still no response.
“It seems like there’s nobody here?” Yiqing’s courage grew, and she stepped in, curiously surveying everything inside, “But someone was conducting an experiment, how strange, where could they have gone?”
When Jiang Yiqing walked around the long lab table to the other side, she suddenly saw a head with an enormous explosion of hair, whose face she couldn’t see!
“Ah, a ghost— ” Jiang Yiqing screamed in fright and turned to run.
The person with the explosive hair was equally scared and turned to run!
Not sure if it was because he couldn’t see the way, but he hit the wall with a thud, and then fell down stiff as a board.
It seemed Jiang Yiqing heard the commotion; just as she reached the doorway, she looked back in confusion, yet she saw nothing.
“Huh, where did the ghost go?” she asked in bewilderment.
Mo Jun blinked, “The ghost was scared faint by you.”
Scared, scared faint?
Jiang Yiqing’s eyes widened, “No way?”
Without answering, Mo Jun walked over, and Jiang Yiqing was very nervous, “Hey, what are you doing?”
“It’s a person, not a ghost.” Mo Jun saw the person lying on the ground and hesitantly approached to ask, “Are you alright?”
The explosion-haired head moved slightly, and his somewhat gaunt hands propped against the ground as if he was trying to stand up.
Mo Jun boldly stepped forward to help him up, and the man with the wild hair finally managed to stand, unsteady, then turned his vacant eyes toward her.
Mo Jun’s gaze met his.
This was an age-worn middle-aged man, somewhat frail and short, just that his hair seemed to have not been attended to for quite a while, resembling the fur of a canine, very bushy, almost covering his entire face.
Seeing him like this, Mo Jun’s first thought was of a lion’s mane done up in curls!
“Excuse me, are you the professor here?” Mo Jun asked, puzzled.
The curly-haired ‘lion’s mane’ blinked, his expression filled with bewilderment and innocence.
Mo Jun asked again politely, “Hello, I am a student at this academy, I’m here to learn about making medicine. Are you the professor here?”
