The black cat lies in the center of the oval conference table with its paws in his arms.
Some are absent-minded.
Next to him was a pot of withered bonsai, and above his head were piled upside down candles, like a white Gothic building. The tears of candles flowing upstream carved winding lines on the candle, with a bit of weirdness mixed in the colorfulness.
Seven other animals sat around the conference table.
The big blood-red bat with its wings is the arrogant Mr. Lucifer codenamed Lucifer; a Persian cat with beautiful blue-green eyes is the jealous lady codenamed Leviathan; a black and white like a big wolfdog is the fury Mr. Samar; a parrot-like peacock with its feathers and golden red, is the lazy Mr. Belfinger; a red fur fur is the greedy Mr. Greedy Mr. Mamen; a white-skinned pig with its black flower is the glutton-eating Mr. Bezebub; and a black goat with its shiny skin is the lust of Asmode.
Zheng Qing didn't know when the meeting of the Seven Deadly Sins gradually became a tendency to solidify. It seemed that starting this semester, he had to take out valuable rest time every Friday to come to this small and cramped conference room to listen to these unknown guys nagging about various dangerous and boring topics.
The time he reserved for Friday night on the class schedule was originally intended to prevent injury in practice classes, but he never thought he would be wasted in such a place.
"...I said at the last party that Zheng Qing is very rich, how about you? You have heard about the news of Lin Yuanchunshu this time... That guy casually used thousands of talismans, that is, hundreds of jade coins in a worthless performance! How big is the gambling market of the First University last year? Three hundred jade coins? Five hundred jade coins?"
The red-haired fox was chattering in the conference room and the focus was on the reward of the last seven deadly sins: "...so I think our charges were really too low last time. I got so much information and even blood, and in the end, I only lost a hundred jade coins in total. It was not cost-effective, it was not cost-effective."
The black cat drooped his eyelids and complained in his heart that this fox is indeed worthy of the name of "greed".
"Do you think others are spending money randomly, but is it possible that others will make more money?" The peacock, who looked like a parrot, sneered: "As far as I know, at the Shanglinyuan party, Zheng Qing danced with more than a dozen witches, and each dance charges dozens of jade coins. That night, he earned all the jade coins thrown out of the ritual stage... I found out from a friend of a witch who danced with Zheng Qing, and it was absolutely true!"
“Dancing can make money?”
"Is he good to dance? How do I remember that when the guy danced with three witches last year?"
"It has been rumored in the school that he was originally a witch, isn't it true?"
"I think he is a lizard man... The lizard man is best at imitating and has a high talent in rituals such as dancing and prayer!"
The little animals were curiously inquired around him.
The black cat narrowed his eyes and glanced at Mr. Lazy quietly, and his mind instantly passed by the witches who danced with him that night. However, he soon realized that each of the witches had a complex and huge circle of friends, and it was definitely not easy to investigate.
He shook his ears.
Give up the intention to pursue Belfinger's identity.
At the conference table, the other cat shook his ears almost at the same time.
"Shanglinyuan's acting method cannot be said to be worthless."
After shaking his ears, the jealous lady shook her soft hair on her body, and her voice was crisp: "I heard that she would receive recruitment from all the major families attending the meeting... It is understandable to spend a little money on such things... Especially he is still a wizard with no family background."
"No background?"
The blood-red bat sitting at the other end of the conference table spread its wide bat wings, revealing a pair of pitch-black small eyes, and the alchemy trumpet under the jaw made a low mockery: "How can a wizard without background get the teaching assistant letter from the Fringe Academy? Do you really think that the entire teaching assistant team can't find a few wizards who are willing to work in a new academy just established? Not to mention that the Qingqiu Su family and Zhongshan Jiang family are both very traditional old wizard families. The elders of their family cannot allow the best juniors in the family to have scandals with ordinary wizards without heels... and it is also such an unfamous scandal - Yesterday afternoon, when the letter sent by Councillor Su to Zheng Qing was seen by Jiang Yu, she was not angry, but instead added a few more words to the letter and sent it together. This situation seems to be impossible for the noble wizards to happen."
"It sounds like you know Zheng Qing very well?" The red-haired fox stroked his big tail and looked at Mr. Ao with a smile.
The bat realized that he had made a mistake and fell silent.
The black cat was thinking - he had long felt that the Big Bat was a bit suspicious. The last time he had a task, his class schedule was provided by this arrogant gentleman. However, there was no sufficient evidence to prove his identity. And the news it said today, especially yesterday's incident, can only be known by people who are very close to him. Excluding those students from the marginal academy in the classroom, that is, Lucifer is a high probability that he is from Astronomy Class 08-1.
As soon as he thought of this, the black cat suddenly felt energetic.
It's like a cat hears the movement of a mouse.
He had been hanging out in this secret small club for a long time, but he had not figured out the true identity of any devil, which was really a bit depressing. At this moment, he was naturally a little excited to see the rat's tail.
"Lucifer, you have a meeting to convene. Do you have any tasks to entrust everyone?" The black cat knocked on the table, interrupting the chaos around him, and looked at the big bat with a kind look.
The other six small animals looked over in one go.
The bat twisted his wings a little unnaturally.
"Um."
He began to regret that he had just spoken. While reflecting in his heart, he calmly threw out the task assigned to him by his cousin Friedman last night: "Actually, this task is still related to Zheng Qing, so I pay special attention to the news related to him..."
He first made some revisions, and then changed the subject: "I have some confidential information related to Zheng Qing here, and I hope it can be sold to everyone here - according to my previous observation, everyone is very interested in his information - because there is no reliable source of information, I only sell one golden bean for each piece of information. Each person is limited to one purchase and is not allowed to communicate with others. Of course, you can resell it at will after you get it... You can consult the last customer to see if they have relevant needs as well."
