Monster Hunting High School

From leaving the hunting team inexplicably, appearing in the depths of the enchanted forest, and meeting Zhu Si; to Zheng Qing mixing the magic potion himself, drinking it and falling into a deep sleep; and then to seeing a mysterious being wearing a yellow robe in his dreamland, entering that The huge iron gate, after a long period of experience, finally accepted the 'gift' from the King in Yellow and returned to reality.

In reality, Zheng Qing leveled half of the forest with one shot and surrendered Nikita and her gathered army.

In the process of telling the story, Zheng Qing made a trick, so that others would think that his shot was fired after receiving a gift from the King in Yellow - although there is indeed a reason for this, but it is more accurate. The reason is that that 'gift' allowed the germination of the forbidden curse deep in Zheng Qing's soul to sprout and grow. In the process, the power of the forbidden curse overflowed, greatly increasing the power of his talisman spear.

The lack of a layer of 'intermediary' does not affect the causal connection of the entire process. On the contrary, it hides the existence of the forbidden curse very well. Zheng Qing is increasingly satisfied with his narrative skills.

For the listeners, it is difficult for them to notice the subtle omissions in Zheng Qing's entire narrative - such as how the gift from the King in Yellow is transformed into a shot full of destruction - compared to them, they are more Pay attention to Zheng Qing’s experience.

Everything he said seemed so weird and bizarre.

Even though this is a dreamland, a world full of fantasy and weirdness, Zheng Qing's experiences are far beyond what most wizards can imagine.

When Zheng Qing was telling his story, except for when Fatty Xin made some comments about him when he mentioned mixing potions, at other times, everyone listened to his story very carefully, including Nikita and the Faceless Demon. No exception.

The banshee finally knew what mistake she had made.

"This is not fair," she concluded angrily: "If you had told me in advance that the King in Yellow had made a deal with you, I would definitely not have troubled you..."

"But I will make trouble for you," Zheng Qing glanced at the banshee and curled his lips: "When did the Alpha people learn to use 'fairness' as an excuse?"

Justice and equality are the principles of Jiuyou Academy, just like freedom and justice are the motto of Alpha. The discord between the two academies has caused young wizards to completely antagonize these concepts, even Zheng Qing is no exception.

Compared with the annoyed banshee, Jiang Yu paid more attention to Zhu Si.

More than once, she heard Zheng Qing mention the little witch lost in the mirror, and more than once she saw the wizard touching the withered yellow leaf of the myrtle tree on his wrist and sighing.

This slowly accumulated a lot of curiosity in her heart - curious about Zhu Si's identity in the real world, curious about how a little witch survived in the mirror for so long, curious about how she maintained her sanity or humanity.

But until I saw the little witch for the first time, all my curiosity turned into pity in an instant.

Because she saw a long loneliness in Zhu Si.

Even though he was standing among the crowd with a bright smile on his face, Zhu Si was still lonely. The young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team are not her partners; the two banshees are not her fellow travelers either.

Like an image in a mirror.

She stood there, very close to everyone, very close; but very far away from everyone, so far that Jiang Yu could clearly feel that she and the others were in two different worlds. This is a generation gap cut by a long period of time. The gap is filled with memories that look like longing but are actually lonely.

This compassion made Jiang Yu couldn't help but hold Zhu Si in her arms and pray for her silently.

Witches or banshees are sentimental.

Wizards are relatively more sensible.

And among all the rational ones, the most outstanding one is Xiao Xiao.

He listened carefully to Zheng Qing's story, carefully listed what he saw, heard, and gained in Zheng Qing's dream in his black notebook, and finally gave his own guess.

“When gods fight, mortals suffer.”

This was the doctor's only comment on Zheng Qing's encounter. Seemingly noticing the confusion in Zheng Qing's eyes, Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and reminded: "The King in Yellow is the incarnation of Hastur, and you are the school's Student, the school is planning to take action against the Kraken...Have you thought of anything?"

One is in the sky, one is on the ground, and one is in the water. This is the only connection that Zheng Qing can think of.

But he knew that Xiao Xiao definitely didn't mean this.

"Hasta wants to help those sea monsters attack the school?" Zheng Qing's mind had already imagined that he turned into a big bomb. After answering the school, it exploded and the entire Jiuyou Academy was razed to the ground.

He couldn't help but shudder.

"On the contrary," Xiao Xiao glanced at Zheng Qing's head, seeming to suspect that there was something inside: "Hasta is providing help to the school through you... Although I don't know exactly where his chess piece landed, But it is certain that He will not help those monsters from the sea.”

"Why?" This was Fatty Xin's question, and he didn't understand the logic of Xiao Xiao's answer.

"Because there is an irresolvable conflict between Hastur and Cthulhu. If there is a chance to put Cthulhu to death, Hastur will not hesitate to join forces with First University." Xiao Xiao replied calmly.

"Wait, it's a bit confusing." Zheng Qing raised his hand to stop the doctor from continuing to explain, and said with a confused face: "Why is there another Cthulhu? Who is he?"

"The Lord of R'lyeh, the gatekeeper of the dreamland, the old god who sleeps in the depths of the sea and controls the origin of water. Hastur is his cousin, and the four siren ships are his subordinates... If you If you read a few more books about those beings deep in the starry sky in the library, you will find His other name, the Siren King, in some hidden corners of those books.”

"...I remember the Siren King's name is Xiang Liu!" Zhang Jixin tugged on the gloves on his hands with an expression on his face that said you were talking nonsense. Compared with him, Nikita, a crew member of the Mist, looked a bit thoughtful.

"Xiang Liu is the Sea Demon King, but the Sea Demon King is not Xiang Liu." Xiao Xiao snapped his fingers, and a monster that looked like an octopus appeared in the air: "The Xiang Liu we know has a snake body and nine A monster with a head... But in fact, he is only a partial form of the Siren King. The Alliance sealed this existence in the gap between space and time, but the seals were broken from the bottom of the South Pacific to the Mariana Trench. Traces... when the starry sky turns and the seal loosens, the Siren King's head sometimes breaks through the restraints and appears on the bottom of the sea. His head covered with tentacles is the form in which Xiang Liu was born. "

Zheng Qing sighed heavily.

So, he hates the truth the most.

"Such a terrifying guy, why didn't the Alliance throw him deep into the starry sky and seal him?" He muttered, picking up the visualized rune gun in his hand and looking at the yellow, windmill-like marks on the gun. He sighed again: "It's an unreasonable disaster, it's really an unreasonable disaster."
