The black cat wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly, a voice came from not far behind him and asked: "Who is there!"
It followed the sound and saw a faint green light swaying outside the dark forest. Along with the faint light, there was a slight wave of magic spreading in all directions, like a spring breeze blowing on the face.
It's the annoyance lantern of the night patrol.
With just one glance, the black cat judged the origin of the light green. Then he realized that the subtle magic fluctuations should be the patrol members using detection magic. It should be that the wizards on night patrol noticed the small movements deep in the forest, so they briefly checked
.
It turned back, wanting to comfort the masked man as a person who had been through it, but was surprised to find that the masked man who had been in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, at the black cat's feet, in addition to the two parchment certificates, there was also a long and narrow white note. The cat's eyes flickered, and by the dim moonlight falling between the treetops, the scrawled writing on the note could be seen.
clear and distinct--
"It's still the same place at 11:30 pm on Jiaxu day of Guiyou month."
The Jiaxu day of the Guiyou month is September 26th, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, which is this Saturday. As for 'this place', the black cat raised his head, looked around, and looked at the lush trees with similar shapes all around.
Still worried, he raised his hind legs and left a wet trail next to the tree hole where Brother Ear disappeared to strengthen his memory.
Normal cats would not use this strange posture.
But after seeing many black cats in the animal world, I always feel that this behavior is very ritualistic.
The footsteps of the night patrol wizards gradually approached.
The black cat flicked a few pieces of thick parchment beside its paw, picked it up with one paw, and stuffed it into the gray cloth bag hidden under its chin. Then it flicked its tail, turned around and quickly disappeared among the lush bushes.
Behind him, the patrol members could vaguely hear confused murmurs, but it had nothing to do with the black cat.
…
…
Zheng Qing did not mention the experience of turning into a cat on Wednesday night—especially the matter related to the Seven Deadly Sins—to anyone after returning to the dormitory, including Xiao Xiao.
It's not that he intentionally concealed anything from his companions.
It’s not that his interest in the Seven Deadly Sins of Nalaoshizi outweighed his vigilance.
But for a reason that even he himself didn't quite believe - he forgot - yes, less than five minutes passed after Zheng Qing stuffed the two certificates and the note into the gray cloth bag.
It completely forgot about the conversation just now and what happened tonight, and turned into a mountain king running rampant on the cat fruit tree again.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock on Saturday night, less than half an hour before the time agreed on the note, that the wizard suddenly remembered this matter. At that time, he was the only one in dormitory 403.
Although it is Saturday, Dylan does not need to go to class, but the dual blood of vampire and werewolf in his body constantly encourages him to go out for a walk at night;
to prepare for the Hunting Moon report; as for Dr. Xiao Da, he was called to the office by Sima in the afternoon and has not come back until now.
Apart from Tuantuan and the elves, Zheng Qing could not find a third living creature to discuss this matter. Moreover, he could not expect a cat and a group of alchemy creatures to provide any reliable advice on this matter.
"Do you think I should talk to Jiang Yu about this?" The young public-funded student looked at the ticking hands on the pocket watch in his hand, and looked at the fat cat on the desk with some uncertainty.
Tuan Tuan lazily licked his paws and purred.
Zheng Qing turned to look at the elves again. The leading elf hesitantly spun a few times in the air, then flew into the bathroom and returned to Zheng Qing in the blink of an eye, holding a warm towel.
The wizard sighed deeply, gave up communicating with the cats and elves, and finally did not send the paper crane to Jiang Yu - he could fully imagine that the witch would use a very firm tone in her reply to prevent him from going to the appointment.
"To go or not to go, that is the question."
Zheng Qing put his pocket watch on the desk, looked at the ampoule containing the transformation potion on the left side of the pocket watch, and then looked at the exercise booklet for the magic philosophy class on the right side of the pocket watch. He analyzed it to himself: "...First of all, the seven deadly sins
It should be a serious club that is not too serious; secondly, there is no doubt that he used memory-disturbing magic similar to the confusion spell on me without permission; finally, I did not expressly say not to go that day... Silence of some kind
In a sense, it represents agreement...and keeping promises is a good quality recognized by all wizards. Especially since I am a publicly funded student in the school, I should lead by example!"
After some complicated and difficult self-persuasion, Zheng Qing happily opened the ampoule and drank a transformation potion. Of course, during this process, the thick exercise book did not interfere with the wizard's work at all.
Make the right judgment.
The process of transforming into a cat is very short and lackluster.
After transforming into a cat, Black Cat put the pocket watch and the box containing the remaining transformation potion into a gray cloth bag, then put the gray cloth bag wrapped in black gauze around his neck, and used the slightly longer cat hair under his chin to secure it.
Cover it tightly.
As long as he didn't take the initiative to lift the long hair under his neck and pull off the black gauze, no one would be able to see the shrunken gray cloth bag.
Before going out of the window, the black cat put its hind legs on the ground and put its two front legs on the window sill. He turned around and shouted into the room: "Tuantuan, if I haven't come back tomorrow morning, remember to ask them to report it to the school... and then go
Find me at the Maoguoshu!"
After that, regardless of whether the fat cat agreed or not, the black cat pawed hard, jumped up, and disappeared into the dark night outside the window in an instant.
That last message was just in case.
Zheng Qing had already made up his mind. No matter how eloquent the guy who claimed to be the 'criminal' was, he was determined not to follow him out of the school at night. As long as he stayed in the school, he would be protected by the talisman gun and the little green snake.
, the wizard felt that even if a great wizard took action, he could still deal with it.
…
…
When the black cat struggled to hide the gray bag under his long hair.
In another corner of the school, in the Alpha Castle, Sir Friedman had just walked out of the Cullen family's lounge. The Alpha Castle seemed particularly silent at midnight. In the empty corridor, except for the occasional whispers from the hanging pictures and murals on both sides,
, there are not even a few wandering ghosts.
Friedman easily found an empty staircase, changed his uniform, put on the ruby ring, passed through the white mist rising under the stairs, opened the small bronze door, and walked into the Seven Deadly Sins conference room.
Behind the door, the conference table was completely empty, and not a single ghost could be seen.
There was only one candle burning on the ceiling, and the dim candlelight fell on the conference table, covering an open piece of parchment. Sir Friedman picked up the parchment, which marked the meeting place tonight.
