Hunting High School

The owner of the laboratory hugged the fox and walked slowly to the depths of the laboratory with the guests behind him.

The researchers in black robes carried heavy documents and baskets of finger-sized crystal balls from time to time, and walked past the two of them, walking hurriedly without looking sideways.

Looking at the strands of suspicious black air lingering in those small crystal balls, the young public fee student always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

It wasn't until he saw a researcher next to a certain big ball of light that he opened a book and summoned new wisps of black air from the void, and stuffed it into the big light ball next to him, that he finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart.

"What is your test product?"

Although this question was a little rash, Zheng Qing still insisted on asking it out—seeing the weird scenes around him and listening to Miss Su’s previous explanation, if he didn’t understand it thoroughly, this question would be like a thorn The same, has been pierced in the bottom of my heart, which makes people worry about it.

Su Shijun supported Poseidon with one hand, and lowered the other hand.

The slender white fingertips touched the floor.

Zheng Qing lowered his head.

The blue-gray clean floor was spotless, except for the dark shadows illuminated by the big light ball next to it, not even an ant could be seen.

shadow?

Zheng Qing suddenly remembered the warning from the parrot at the front desk of the institute.

"Shadow?" He raised his head, his tone was a little dry: "Do you use shadows for experiments?"

"As the projection of a three-dimensional living body, it also has the characteristics of wave-particle duality. There is nothing more suitable than a shadow as a test object to penetrate into those two-dimensional worlds and stir up wind and rain." Su Shijun arranged new jobs for several researchers. , while answering casually.

"No, no, no," Zheng Qing immediately waved his hands repeatedly, denying, "I mean... I always feel that the shadows seem to lack some kind of agility... It's hard to believe that they can undertake such an important experimental task."

"This is natural. From the point of view of a wizard, besides a wizard, which other creature is not stupid, stupid, and without spirituality? ... But 'life' with two-dimensional attributes is very rare, let alone with The concept of 'person' is closely related, and it is even rarer."

"We really shouldn't have too high expectations for this world."

After finishing speaking, Su Shijun suddenly turned his head, looked at Zheng Qing, and asked back: "...Besides, what kind of world do you think the two-dimensional world is?"

Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment.

"Is it the world of the second dimension?" He tentatively replied, "In my hometown, there are some young people who like animation very much, they are called 'two-dimensional house'...the anime world they like, maybe It belongs to the two-dimensional world?"

"Well, I almost forgot, you are not a pure wizard." Su Shijun waved his hands displeased, and simply added: "The children of real wizard families will start with specific dimensions and discuss which two dimensions can build a world. , without drawing conclusions as crudely and simply as you...but what you said is not bad."

"Including animations, novels, and movies in your concept, as well as fairy tales, folklore, dark night tales, etc., these 'worlds' that have a certain world concept but have no world form, all belong to the two-dimensional world... also It is the destination of our exploration and experimentation."

"What kind of life do you think can enter the two-dimensional world?"

"The protagonist of a novel, a supporting role, the protagonist of a TV series." Zheng Qing touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "Can a shadow also be the protagonist?"

"Creation comes from reality and is higher than reality. Every character in every work has a shadow of the real world. Haven't you heard readers comment that you can see the shadow of a writer in the protagonist of a certain work? "

"The shadows are the most authentic aborigines of these works... Their vitality comes from the works, and the height of the works is also supported by them."

"Will a work constructed solely by shadows appear too thin?" Zheng Qing questioned: "Shouldn't all real masterpieces have their own soul?"

"Do you want us to use our souls for experiments?" Su Shijun scratched Poseidon's chin, watched it flick its tail with a smile, and looked at the public finance student in surprise: "...this is the first university, if It is reported that a wizard has violated a small half of the provisions of the "Wizard Code", and this place is afraid that it will become the biggest scandal in the wizarding world this century."

"I'm not! I'm not! You're talking nonsense!!" Zheng Qing blushed immediately.

Poseidon lay in Su Shijun's arms, laughing until he fell down.

"But... where did your shadows come from?" Zheng Qing resisted the urge to grab the fox's ears and forcibly changed the subject.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download yeguoyuedu here]

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of many fairy tales he had read - the evil old witch cut out the shadows of ignorant girls with scissors, and from then on, these children who lost their shadows lived a life that could not see the sun.

He found himself unable to resist thinking about things in the worst possible direction.

Su Shijun's subsequent answer also proved this point.

"Oh, the shadows were collected from Baiding World." Perhaps because these contents are not classified, the witch's answer seemed very casual: "To be precise, they came from a trade."

"Deal?" Immediately, images of all kinds of devils appeared in the mind of the public fee student, as well as their fierce laughter, as well as those burning parchment contracts.

"Hmm...do you know about computers?"

"I know." Zheng Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, and a few black lines appeared on his head.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you have a computer at home," Su Shijun stuck out his tongue, showing a lovely expression.

Zheng Qing's IQ was immediately blown away by this cute expression.

"The Curse Research Institute of the Applied Magic Research Institute helped us create a small 'meme'," Su Shijun said, taking out a laptop from somewhere, and placed it in front of Zheng Qing: "This is the software..."

Zheng Qing looked at the familiar interface on the computer screen, and suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

It seems that he hasn't touched a computer for a long time.

Various water groups in QQ, games, post bars, and Zhihu, countless memories immediately filled his brain.

"I miss you so much..." He couldn't help but press the touch screen, and opened the webpage with great interest: "The first university still has wifi? Which network do you connect to? China Mobile or China Unicom? I remember that the signal of China Unicom has always been low. Okay, but the mobile restrictions are too severe, and many interesting websites cannot be accessed..."

Su Shijun looked at him with a smile, as if he had no intention of explaining.

Zheng Qing didn't take it seriously, but focused on typing on the keyboard, moving the cursor, and clicked on a certain reading website, and voted for a few recommended novels for her favorite novels.

Oh, and a monthly pass.

Zheng Qing thought of when he would turn on the computer next time, so he simply voted out all the tickets in stock at once.

Familiar webpage, familiar interface...and familiar pop-up advertisements!

A small boxy off-white box pops up in the lower right corner of the web page.

In the small box, there are two rows of black and bold words:

"Want to understand the meaning of life?"

"Want to really... live?"
