Monster Hunting High School

The owner of the laboratory held the fox in his arms and walked slowly towards the depths of the laboratory with the guests behind him.

Researchers in black robes walked past the two of them from time to time, holding heavy documents and baskets of finger-sized crystal balls, walking hurriedly and looking intently.

The young public-funded student looked at the wisps of suspicious-looking black energy lingering in those small crystal balls, and felt that he had overlooked something.

Until he saw a researcher opening a Dharma book next to a large ball of light, summoning wisps of new black energy from the void, and stuffing it into the large ball of light next to it, he finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart.

"What is your test subject?"

Although this question was a bit rash, Zheng Qing still insisted on asking it - seeing the strange scenes around him and listening to the explanations given by the beautiful lady Su, if he didn't understand it thoroughly, this question would be like a thorn. The same thing has always stuck in my heart, making me heartbroken.

Su Shijun held Poseidon in one hand and lowered his other hand.

The slender white fingertips touched the floor.

Zheng Qing lowered his head.

The smooth blue-gray floor was spotless, and not even an ant could be seen except for the dark shadow cast by the large light ball next to it.

shadow?

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

"Shadow?" He raised his head, his tone seemed a little dry: "You use shadows for experiments?"

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

"No, no, no," Zheng Qing immediately waved his hands and denied, "I mean... I always feel that 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 perspective of wizards, apart from wizards, which other kind of creature is not stupid, stupid, and without spirituality?... But 'life' with two-dimensional attributes is very rare in the first place, let alone with The concept of 'people' is closely related to it, and it is even rarer."

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

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

Zheng Qing hesitated.

"Is it a two-dimensional world?" He tentatively replied: "In my hometown, there are some young people who like animation very much, called 'two-dimensional nerds'... The animation 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 in dismay, and simply added: "Children of real wizard families will start with specific dimensions and discuss which two dimensions can build a world. , I don’t have such a crude and simple conclusion as you...but what you said is not bad.”

"Including animations, novels, and movies in your concept, as well as fairy tales, folklore, ghost stories in the dark night, etc., these 'worlds' that have a certain world concept but no world shape are all two-dimensional worlds... It’s our destination for exploration and experimentation.”

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

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

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

“The shadows are originally the most authentic aborigines of these works…their vitality comes from the works, and the height of the works is also supported by them.”

"Would a work constructed solely from shadows seem too thin?" Zheng Qing questioned: "Shouldn't a true masterpiece have its own soul?"

"Do you want us to do experiments with our souls?" Su Shijun scratched Poseidon's chin and watched it flick its tail with a smile. At the same time, he looked at the public-funded students in surprise: "...This is the number one university. If It has been reported that a wizard has violated even half of the terms of the Wizarding Code. This may become the biggest scandal in the wizarding world this century."

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

Poseidon lay in Su Shijun's arms, laughing so hard that he fell down.

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

At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the many fairy tale books he had read - the evil old witch used scissors to cut off the shadows of ignorant girls, and from then on, these children who lost their shadows lived a life without being able to see the sun.

He found that he couldn't help but think about the worst possible aspects of a situation.

Su Shijun's subsequent answer also proved this point.

"Oh, the shadow was collected from Baiding's world." Perhaps because these contents were not considered confidential, the witch's answer seemed casual: "To be precise, it was a trade."

"Deal?" The image of various devils, their unruly laughter, and those burning parchment contracts immediately appeared in the public student's mind.

"Um...do you know anything about computers?"

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

"Oh, I almost forgot, you have a computer at home," Su Shijun stuck out her tongue with a cute expression.

Zheng Qing's intelligence was immediately wiped out by this cute expression.

"The Curse Research Institute of the Institute of Applied Magic helped us create a small 'meme'," Su Shijun said, taking out a laptop from somewhere and placing 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 filling his eyes.

It seemed like he hadn't touched a computer for a long time.

Various groups of people on QQ, games, Tieba, and Zhihu immediately filled his brain with countless memories.

"I miss you so much..." He couldn't help but press the touch screen and clicked on the webpage with great interest: "The First University actually has WiFi? Which network are you connected to? China Mobile or China Unicom? I remember that China Unicom's signal has always been down. Good, 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 to vote for a few recommendations for his favorite novels.

Oh, and there’s also a monthly pass.

Zheng Qing thought about the next time he would turn on his computer, so he simply voted out all the votes in his inventory at once.

Familiar web pages, familiar interfaces... and familiar pop-up ads!

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

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

"Want to understand the meaning of life?"

"Want to really...live?"
