Chapter 2755: More than synchronized, but not fully distracted
The first class on Tuesday morning is divination.
According to Xiao Xiao's suggestion, Zheng Qing should consult Professor Yi before class about the abnormal situation of the black gem cat. But after entering the classroom and seeing Jiang Yu sitting in the first row of the classroom, Zheng Qing changed his plan temporarily.
Because he remembered something more important.
Last night, when he was supposed to go to the Cat Fruit Tree to meet the White Jade Cat, he was cut off by the yellow-breasted civet and released the White Jade Cat's pigeons. This matter needs to be explained to the witch.
And it has to be given before she gets really angry.
Consulting with Professor Yi can definitely wait until after class, but the explanation to the witch needs to be given as soon as he sees her today, or as soon as she sees him.
This is a matter of attitude.
Therefore, when Zheng Qing just entered the classroom and saw Jiang Yu, he immediately realized this problem. Despite the disgust of classmate Li Meng and the teasing looks of the other witches in the front row, he approached the witches' table without any hesitation.
Accompanied by a smile.
But before Zheng Qing could speak, Jiang Yu noticed the black gem cat squatting on the boy's shoulder and licking its paws, and frowned slightly.
"What's that on its head?"
The quill in the witch's hand reached the black gem cat's forehead and rubbed it, but it did not rub off the green bit, which surprised her. She seemed to feel the fluctuations in her own state of mind, and she was curled up in a ball and taking a nap on the textbook.
The white jade cat lazily raised its head and glanced in the direction of the black gem cat.
The black gem cat, who was carefully shrinking back because of the quill, noticed the white jade cat's gaze, straightened up immediately, and coughed: "——Don't make a fuss, it's just a leaf!"
Jiang Yu's hand held up in the air paused slightly, and he looked at Zheng Qing in astonishment.
The boy smiled bitterly, nodded apologetically to the left and right, and used his hand gestures to prop up a small soundproof barrier. Then he took the black gem cat off his shoulder and placed it on the witch's desk.
"Last night, I met Mr...."
Zheng Qing carefully explained to Jiang Yu the origin of the leaf on the forehead of the black gem cat. She did not taboo his presence because she had visited him a long time ago, but he was also vague about the real reason why he was looking for him.
He only said that it was a temporary appointment: "——Perhaps Mr. Huang thought that Huang was too noisy with me, so he used a leaf to immobilize us, but when I woke up, I discovered that the leaf had not disappeared..."
Listening to the boy's simple statement, the witch lowered her head slightly and carefully looked at the leaves on the forehead of the black gem cat.
"Is this a regular leaf?" she asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, from Pistacia chinensis."
While Zheng Qing nodded, he thought of the most important thing and quickly added: "...It was because of this incident yesterday that I didn't go to the Adult Cat Fruit Tree..."
"It doesn't matter. I guessed that you were temporarily busy before you came... It's more important for Sir to find you."
The witch waved her hand tolerantly, and then looked at the black gem cat who was courting the white jade cat, with a strange expression: "——What is it doing now? It was also in an 'awake' state when you were awake? Are you sure it is still there?
Your cat?”
As a student in the Clone Transfiguration Class, she was obviously more aware of the abnormality of the black gem cat than anyone else.
"I don't know either..." Zheng Qing sighed.
"Is there anything to question about this?" Hearing the witch's question, the black gem cat shook its ears, raised its head, and protested with great dissatisfaction.
The white jade cat opened its eyes slightly and slapped it on the head.
Frightened, Zheng Qing's sigh stopped abruptly and turned into saliva as he swallowed it back in his stomach.
"No rudeness!"
Jiang Yu stretched out her finger, held down the white jade cat who had just become agitated, and warned, at the same time, she stretched out another finger and patted the slightly confused black jade cat who had just stood up: "——Sorry, she is not
on purpose."
The white jade cat glanced at it haughtily.
"Well, no...it doesn't matter." Black Jewel Cat gritted her teeth and laughed dryly: "This is how we cats greet each other, you humans don't understand."
Zheng Qing rolled his eyes silently.
At this time, he was already seventy-eight percent sure that this stupid cat was really his clone.
Jiang Yu seemed to have reached the same conclusion.
"It has the judgment of self-identity, subjective awareness, and the ability to deal with embarrassment... It is a real avatar."
There was a hint of amazement in her tone, and her eyes wandered between the black gem cat and Zheng Qing: "I think it is not even the 'synchronization' stage anymore, but should be a state that can only be achieved in the 'advanced distraction' stage -"
According to the different levels of proficiency and mastery, the learning of clone transformation is divided into three stages, namely 'primary alienation', 'intermediate synchronization' and 'advanced distraction'. Theoretically, the black gem cat and the white jade cat are in the first stage.
At this stage of 'primary alienation', you can maintain a real clone outside the main body, but there are many restrictions, such as a short maintenance time, a short distance between the clones, the main body and the clone cannot stay awake at the same time, etc.
…
"——Your clone has not yet reached the level of 'high-level distraction', but it has indeed exceeded the ordinary 'synchronization' stage."
Professor Yi looked at the black gem cat in front of him with great interest and gave a different answer than Jiang Yu: "According to general principles, when the main body and the clone can remain awake and independent of each other at the same time, they can be considered to be 'synchronized'
Now, your cat has gone one step further and can talk! This is an ability that many transformed animals do not possess."
When he said the last sentence, he gave Zheng Qing a meaningful look.
The boy looked around uneasily.
It was already after the divination class, and most of the students in the classroom had left. There were only a few or two chattering, but they didn't pay attention to the movements on the podium.
He breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
"What about this leaf? Does it have any impact on it?" He couldn't help but rub the regular leaf on the black gem cat's forehead with his fingertips, trying to remove it.
But the leaves seem to be growing on the black cat's forehead.
Professor Yi carefully pinched his fingers and finally shook his head: "It's hard to say, I suggest you ask Lao Yao to take a look -"
…
"——Legends are not omnipotent."
Professor Yao held the black gem cat curled up in his hand, his eyes burning, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, but the conclusion he gave made the boy a little disappointed: "I can only confirm that this cat is still
Your cat, the progress of your clone transformation is far beyond my expectation. As for this leaf... Just like I still can't understand the magic principle of Zhu Si's resurrection, there are many magics in this world that are unreasonable.
, it’s all about fate. You and this leaf are very destined.”
"Then what's the use of it?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but frown.
"Of course it's fate." The professor smiled slightly and gave him a fortune teller-like answer.
