Monster Hunting High School

Chapter 255 Winter Clothes Festival

A dead leaf was blown by the breeze.

Quietly.

The chill of early winter smeared between the sky and the earth, giving the world outside the window a thick blue-gray background. Less than ten minutes before the end of get out of class bell rang, the entire teaching building was already empty, like an old beast crawling in the corner. Life was quickly passing away, and deathly silence filled the whole body.

Just like the world gradually fading around it.

Deep in the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building, in the gradually fading light, two wizards in black robes were standing by the window. The older man's eyes fell on the figures of the young students rushing past outside the window, as well as the Linzhong Lake. On the small orange-red fire.

The young man paid alert attention to the movements on both sides of the corridor - there were no portraits on the walls of this corridor, and there were no ghosts wandering around, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"The teaching assistants discovered another laboratory."

The magical biology lecturer suppressed the frivolity on his face, lowered his voice very softly, and reported quickly: "Ten minutes ago, I received a subpoena from No. 7... The personnel have been safely evacuated, but a batch of experimental subjects failed to be destroyed in time. It’s very likely that it will fall into the hands of those ticks.”

Ticks are parasites of cattle that are both blood-sucking and stubborn.

Professor Monteria lowered his eyelids.

"I have reminded you many times," he said in a voice that was almost a whisper: "The laboratory in the Silent Forest is not your Zoar, but Sodom and Gomorrah, which are facing complete destruction every moment. The possibility of destruction...the closer we are to success, the greater the risk our laboratory faces. This is a disaster that has befallen us."

Zoar is a small city where ancient magicians gathered. It is located east of Jerusalem and is also known as the "sanctuary"; while Sodom and Gomorrah are two legendary towns that were destroyed by God because of their sins.

The young lecturer hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Professor Monteria raised his eyelids again and looked out the window.

The round-faced wizard hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and told the reason for his uneasiness: "Professor, I still feel that the new experimental plan is a bit too hasty... We still haven't fully understood the principle of demon flesh and blood erosion, and we haven't been successful enough. "

"No time." Professor Monteria shook his head.

"What?" The magic biology lecturer was stunned for a moment.

The professor was silent for a few seconds, skipping what he just said: "Before any experiment is carried out, it is impossible to be 100% sure, otherwise the experiment is meaningless... As for feasibility... I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is completely thorough. It is no coincidence that the fallen Migo demon broke free under strong emotional stimulation and made a choice that was completely contrary to his nature. "

"Maybe it's a miracle?" The round-faced wizard was still a little unsure: "You know... magic has always been good at creating miracles. Maybe it was just a miracle."

Professor Monteria smiled slightly.

"Behind every miracle, there are countless ordinary possibilities." He looked past the young figures outside the window, past the hazy Linzhong Lake in the distance and the blurry and tall shadows further away. His voice was very soft, but increasingly louder. Determined: "Without the ordinary, there would be no miracles. We cannot expect miracles to fall from the sky, but we can focus on the ordinary and the greatest possibility in the world."

"Axi!"

After Zheng Qing fled from the teaching building, he saw the small orange-red fires by Linzhong Lake from a distance, and resentment arose in his heart: "Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn at night, and burn during the day! Burning every day...don’t you know that burning grass will pollute the air, and playing with fire will make you wet the bed?”

Xiao Xiao, who was waiting downstairs, glanced at him speechlessly.

"What do you think they are burning?" The doctor looked at the young public-funded student mockingly.

Zheng Qing was slightly startled: "Isn't it a straw man? Or are you trying something new?! Let me tell you, you will be punished sooner or later for doing this..."

The doctor shook his head and walked straight to the library. At the same time, he simply replied: "Today is October."

"October Dynasty?"

This word was a little unfamiliar, and the young public-funded student was confused for a moment, but he also vaguely realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, so he huddled his hands in his sleeves and began to calculate hurriedly.

It wasn't until the two of them passed by the lakeside and looked at the five-color paper clothes and wooden charms burning in the small orange fire that he said to himself as if he had awakened: "October morning, October morning... you can directly Just tell me about the Winter Clothes Festival! Well, no wonder, there was almost no one in the corridor when I left the teaching building today, and I didn’t bump into a ghost!”

Under normal circumstances, when the bell rings for about half an hour, the ghosts hiding in every corner of the teaching building will appear one after another and begin to wander around corridors, stairs, classrooms and other areas, using their cold breath and illusory forms. Remind those students stranded in the classroom to get out quickly.

Except for a few special days.

Such as today.

The October Festival is the first day of the tenth month in the lunisolar calendar. It is a traditional sacrificial festival. In ancient times, this day was regarded as the first day of cold winter. It was necessary to wear clothes to keep out the cold weather, so it was also called the "Cold Clothes Festival" - of course, for For wizards, the meaning of this festival is more focused on small magic rituals such as sacrifices, burning offerings, and blessings. Because this day is one of the three ghost festivals on par with the Ghost Festival and Qingming Festival, ghosts will gather together. To celebrate the new life after death, the souls of the dead will also try to return to this world through the rising yin energy between heaven and earth.

The First University is located on Phuket Island, and there are many powerful wizards in the school, so very few dead souls dare to cause any turmoil here. The students burning paper clothes and lighting candles are more of a superficial form. On the other hand, there is some commotion in the Silent Forest at this time of year, but it does not affect the young wizards in the ivory tower of the high-walled courtyard.

During last year's Winter Clothes Festival, the school hunting competition was in full swing. The young wizards in the school were preoccupied with the dispute between the hunting ground and victory or defeat, Jiuyou and Alpha, and did not have much impression of the festival celebrated by the ghosts.

As for this year's Winter Clothes Festival, there are not many activities in the school before and after the festival. Secondly, the aftermath of the 'grass burning' movement that has been going on for a while has not ended, and the young wizards are very interested in burning something new.

"So, after all, the ghosts at school should be thanking me."

The young public-funded student saw the occasional little straw man among the colorful paper clothes and complained: "Without me, not so many people would pay attention to this festival this year."

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Xiao Xiao lazily agreed, and at the same time reminded: "I plan to go to Luxi Fang to buy a cloak or a short jacket for Sima... Although I don't know how many pieces you should buy, you should know that the 'Cold Clothes Festival' is also called It's the 'Giving Clothes Festival'..."

"Eh? Is there any other way to say this?!"
