Hunting High School

Today is Wednesday.

The time is now twelve twenty noon.

Although the time is right for the meal, not everyone will eat on time.

Most of the time, in the small square in front of the main building of Jiuyou University, there will always be some students lingering for one reason or another.

Today, there is no one in the clean and tidy square.

Spicy light poured down from overhead, falling on the bare marble floor.

The ferns with broad branches and leaves around the square curled up limply, trying their best to resist the increasingly violent sun. The wooden benches under the shadow of these plants are empty, and even the school workers who spray water to cool down the tree sperm in the sun on weekdays are also missing.

Although the freshmen felt uneasy in their hearts, they could only bite the bullet and continue walking towards the back garden of the school.

In any case, this option is better than just staying where I am.

It wasn't until several people approached Linzhong Lake that they finally spotted a new figure.

To be precise, it was the janitor in gray robe who took the initiative to show his figure and stopped in front of several young wizards—— Zheng Qing didn't notice where this gentleman was standing just now, as if he suddenly appeared from the air. out.

"Students?" The gray-robed janitor looked at the young wizards with a stern expression, glanced at their necklines and cuffs, and emphasized: "Freshman students? What are you doing by the lake!"

He tightly held the iconic patrol stick of the janitors in his hand, and looked a little wary.

"We just finished class and are planning to go back to the dormitory." Duan Xiaojian replied impatiently.

"Where did everyone in the school go?" Zhang Jixin immediately asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"That's right, it's so strange... I didn't see anyone when I came out of the main building." Xin Fatty wiped his oily forehead, and his breathing was a little short: "Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, except you, Not a single one was seen."

"Did something happen to Linzhong Lake?" Xiao Xiao poked his head, looked past the gray-robed janitor in front of him, and looked into the depths of the lake.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but follow his gaze.

The sparkling Linzhong Lake is no different from the past.

If I had to find one outlier, it was the atmosphere.

On weekdays, although the area around the lakeside is not bustling, there are always people coming and going, which is quite popular.

But now, from a long distance away, Zheng Qing smelled a deadly silence.

Those big red birds that loved to dance on the lake disappeared without a trace; the tree sperm that often hung among the branches hid somewhere; not to mention the students who used to sit on the tables and chairs by the lake to study, even the shadows None left.

Zheng Qing dared to bet with the shiny black donkey's hoof in his bosom that the water ghosts and murlocs in the lake must have long since hid in the depths of the lake.

Otherwise, the lake surface should have the inexplicable ripples that they bring out when they swim in the water.

"It's so strange," the young public fee student finally realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond imagination, and felt a little dry.

He put his hand into the gray cloth bag, intending to moisten his throat with a bottle of water.

"Don't move!" The gray-robed wizard suddenly shouted sharply: "All of you, stand still and don't move!"

Zheng Qing was terrified, and the hand stuffed into the gray cloth bag froze there.

The others were also frightened by the gray-robed janitor's nervous performance, and all froze in place.

"All of you, stand where you are and don't move!" The gray-robed janitor repeated the order, and at the same time stomped the wooden stick in his hand on the ground.

An invisible wave spread out around the point where the stick foot landed as the center.

The fine dust floated up and danced all over the sky, like clusters of broken sunlight, which appeared particularly clear in the field of vision.

The dust was still in the air, and before a few young wizards could react, a series of slight popping sounds sounded around.

"Puff puff!"

Five or six figures in black robes appeared around several students in the blink of an eye.

They wear hoods on their heads and hold dharma books in their hands. Colorful lights overflow from them, exuding a disturbing atmosphere.

The scene seemed familiar.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but retreated a step.

"Who sent the alarm!" A wizard in black robe came out more and more, lifted his hood, revealing a tired face.

It's Thomas.

"Zheng Qing? What are you doing here?" He spotted the familiar figure among the young wizards almost immediately, and asked in surprise, "The students are all staying in the first hall together... haven't you received the notice?"

"These first-year freshmen appeared by the lake. I stopped them because they behaved suspiciously." The gray-robed janitor echoed.

You are acting suspicious!

You all look suspicious!

Zheng Qing complained silently in his heart, but there was no disrespect in his mouth:

"We just came out of the main building," he explained, "After class, because of some special arrangements..."

Saying that, several young wizards cast a glance at Xiao Xiao at the same time.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, hugged his notebook, and said nothing.

"...So, the few of us stayed in the classroom for a few more minutes." Having said that, Zheng Qing paused, and added: "Our class is a history class, and Mr. Sima Yangyun's class... I didn't receive it." What notice."

"There has been no one since I came out of the classroom," Zhang Jixin complained loudly, "I was scared by those ghosts for a long time in the building... Those ghosts are not particular at all, can we complain about them?"

"No." Thomas gave a clear answer very decisively.

"If you disturb the dead living in the building, you will receive a warning from the school work committee." The gray-robed school worker interjected beside him: "This warning will be recorded in your student files."

The grumpy red-faced wizard cursed in a low voice.

"What do a group of living people care about with the dead?" Thomas stopped the young wizard's impulsive expression, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the gray-robed school worker: "Leave this to us, and you can continue to investigate."

The gray-robed janitor bowed slightly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Qing still didn't find out how he disappeared.

Thomas turned his head and looked at several young wizards, as if weighing how to deal with them.

"Can we move?" Zheng Qing smiled dryly, raised his own arm, and shook it.

His hands were still stuffed in the gray cloth bag, like wearing a ridiculous glove.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Thomas shook his head slightly, and laughed aloud: "Although the situation is serious, it hasn't reached the point where even a little wizard in the first grade should be wary."

"What happened?" Zheng Qing pulled his hand out of the gray cloth bag and couldn't help asking curiously.

Several other young people also pricked up their ears, obviously very curious about this matter.

"It's nothing too serious," Thomas said casually, "It's just that the 300-year-old tortoise by the lake turned into a mummy... similar to the kappa that night."

Zheng Qing's eyes widened immediately.

The others also gasped.
