Monster Hunting High School

Zheng Qing opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep.

After a dreamless night, he felt refreshed and energetic.

He reached out and touched the smooth black gemstone on the pillow.

A wave of strange yet familiar memories rushed into his mind like a flood. This is what his clone, the black gem cat, experienced last night.

When he first started to accept the memories of his clones, he was not used to it. The strange and familiar fragments that appeared in his mind always made him feel like it was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and he felt schizophrenic. But after a few times, the black gem cat's memory and his memory were able to be seamlessly connected. On the one hand, because these are all his memories, there is no essential difference; on the other hand, it is also because the black gem cat has a limited range of activities and extremely limited experience. Every day, he is either playing with the white jade cat on the cat fruit tree or under the cat fruit tree. There is almost nothing more to tease the white jade cat.

And how many complex memories can the interaction between two cats create?

When he woke up today and touched the black gem, Zheng Qing thought it was no different from the previous days. He wondered whether the two cats were playing on the tree or under the tree last night.

But after the turbulent memories poured in, he sat up suddenly, subconsciously opened the curtain, and looked out the window, as if he wanted to confirm whether there was still a furry cat cake face stuck on the glass of the balcony window.

But what caught his eyes was the slightly bright sky outside the window.

It's early summer, and the sky is dawning early. Although the sun has not yet risen, the light has already been released. In addition to the chirping of birds, the faint sound of young wizards doing their morning lessons can also be heard.

"Having a nightmare?"

Xiao Xiao, who had also just gotten up, immediately noticed the unusual movement on Zheng Qing's bed and asked in a low voice. The snoring in Fatty Xin's tent also paused slightly.

"No, no, I just...remembered something else."

Zheng Qing agreed vaguely, lowered his eyelids, and carefully recalled every word his husband said to him last night. The black gem in his hand turned into a cat again under his rub.

Although the black gem cat will not feel tired as long as there is sufficient supply of magic power, it still complained a little after being forcibly awakened and looked at Zheng Qing complainingly:

"——Why did you wake me up so early in the morning? You slept all night, but I just closed my eyes!"

"Where did you get the eyes from a piece of stone!" Zheng Qing couldn't help but complain, and then changed the topic: "I want to ask last night...wait, what's going on with you!"

He reacted belatedly and suddenly reacted. He looked at the black gem cat licking its paws, looking as if it had seen a ghost. The black gem cat in his hand seemed to have turned into a piece of red coal, which was so hot that he suddenly stopped his hand.

The black gem cat rolled twice in mid-air and landed on his lap in a slightly embarrassed state.

"What's going on?"

The black gem cat frowned, raised his paw, patted the boy's knee, and said in a reproachful tone: "I have told you so many times, as the head of the family, you have to be steady, steady, still steady, and you have to give more... Great elves, please set an example... Don't just make a fuss when something happens. I just had a chat with my husband last night, and it's worth making such a fuss about!"

Zheng Qing stretched out his finger and poked the black gem cat's head.

It is as hard as ever, and a layer of inconspicuous magic ripples rises where the fingertips touch it, which fully proves that it is indeed the stone that I have been messing with for a long time.

"What are you doing!" The black gem cat flattened its ears and looked at the boy alertly.

"You," after saying one word, Zheng Qing stopped, thought for a moment, and then spoke again, tentatively asking: "...do you feel anything is wrong?"

The black gem cat blinked, lowered his head and looked around at himself.

"Where?" It raised its head blankly.

That stupid look made Zheng Qing feel like he was looking in the mirror.

"Why are you talking now!" He finally lost his composure and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you become the living clone after I fell asleep? What's going on now!"

Originally, he didn't want to ask so directly.

Because there are many taboos of one kind or another in transformation magic - for example, when a spiritual beast takes shape for the first time, if passers-by question its identity, its transformation will fail - Zheng Qing does not know that he I didn't want to ask my doubts directly whether the Black Jewel Cat's current situation fell into the category of 'asking for words'.

But it seems that if he hadn't asked, the idiot probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual all day long.

really.

After hearing the wizard's question, the black gem cat was stunned for a few seconds, and a hint of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face: "Yes! You are awake now! Why can I speak? Wait... If I were you, who are you? ? Which one of us is real? If I am not you, who am I?"

It sat cross-legged on Zheng Qing's knees like a living person, raising its two paws in front of its eyes, its tone was a bit panicked, and it looked like it was even more unacceptable than Zheng Qing.

This left Zheng Qing speechless.

"What's up?"

Xiao Xiao obviously noticed something unusual here.

The black gem cat said nothing, staring blankly at its paws, as if its brain was overloaded. Zheng Qing shook his head and explained the situation in front of him in a few words.

"That is to say,"

The fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team concluded: "You, the black gem cat, are usually just an ordinary cat. You can only 'wake up' after you fall asleep and act as your clone... But now, it will wake up when you are awake..." It's 'awakened', and then you two can't tell whose consciousness is dominating its consciousness now?"

One person and one cat nodded repeatedly.

The movements are extremely neat.

"Are you sharing the same field of vision now?" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and looked a little curious: "Where are your thoughts? Is there any interference with each other?"

Zheng Qing and the black gem cat looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Apart from the fact that it started talking, are there any other abnormalities?" Xiao Xiao looked at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing looked at the black gem cat up and down, and finally pointed at its forehead: "There is an extra leaf on its forehead... At first I thought it was grass clippings stained outside, but I didn't rub it off. Then I thought about it..."

He paused.

Because he recognized this feather-like leaf as the leaf of the regular tree, and it should be the leaf that Mr. finally 'suppressed' him and the civet last night.

Thinking about it this way, is it possible that the black gem cat's abnormality is due to meeting Mr. yesterday?

"What leaves? On my head?"

The black gem cat has come to his senses, holding his head with his paws, stretching his neck to look for the mirror.

"Regular leaves." Zheng Qingyan reminded simply and comprehensively.

The black cat's movements suddenly slowed down, and he seemed to know the origin of this leaf. This made Zheng Qing, who was observing secretly, breathe a sigh of relief. At least the cat knew what the regular leaves meant.

Just when one person and one cat were showing off each other's thoughts, the fortune teller also had his own guess: "——Is it possible that it is a phenomenon that occurs after the proficiency in the clone transformation technique reaches a certain level? According to general circumstances, the main body and the clone They could have existed at the same time.”

"Yes!" Zheng Qing thought thoughtfully.

"It makes sense!" The black gem cat also nodded slightly.

Looking at these two confused guys, Xiao Xiao raised his forehead and gave another suggestion: "This way... Today is Tuesday, the first class in the morning is divination, Professor Yi also has high attainments in transfiguration. , you can consult him. Or you can go to see Lao Yao after class... Didn’t you say that your professor of clone transformation is Lao Yao?”
