Chapter 2776 The plan of the teaching assistant team
When Hilda opened the door and walked into the office of the head assistant coach, she saw Zhang Yu holding a piece of letter paper with a face that looked like he was constipated.
"Whose letter?" He rarely saw Zhang Yu's expression.
The acting head of the assistant coaching team let out a breath, and even his usually concise tone was prolonged: "——Our protection target."
His wording was vague, but it did not prevent Hilda from understanding what the answer wanted to express.
Because the teaching assistant group currently has only one protection goal.
"Why is he writing to you? Resigning? Feeling that the pressure of studying is so great that you can no longer stand it and don't want to be a teaching assistant?"
Hilda was surprised, but also had a feeling that it should be the case. She raised her head and glanced at the dark night outside the window, but her voice did not pause at all: "Besides, if you have something to do, can't you just come to the office tomorrow? Doesn't he still have a baby?
A cat? Why not let that cat deliver the message! Well, that’s right. Of course, it’s not easy to say things like resignation in person. Writing a letter is a very reasonable choice... and letting a cat deliver the message doesn’t show enough respect for you.”
The conversation was fast and dense, and at the end, he nodded quite confidently.
It seems that he is applauding his own analysis.
Zhang Yu glanced at him speechlessly.
"No one is resigning!"
He emphasized his tone slightly, and then simply explained: "When we were on duty tonight, didn't he disappear from our monitoring range for a while..."
The guarding hours of the teaching assistants are from 4 pm to early morning every day, and they take over the shift. During the day, they are the people from the vice president's office, and at night from early morning to 8 am, they are the school working committee's escort team who are used to working the night shift.
As for the 'disappearance' that Zhang Yu mentioned, it was today - to be precise, it was already yesterday after midnight - in the evening, when the guards of the teaching assistant group were on duty, Zheng Qing, who had turned into a black cat, suddenly passed by a flight of stairs.
disappeared from their observation range.
It caused a lot of excitement.
At that time, Zhang Yu not only recalled most of the teaching assistants, but also applied for high-level permissions from the school's guardian array. In the end, he almost alerted several deans and vice-principals. Fortunately, Zheng Qing's black gem cat was still wandering around outside.
I learned about Zheng Qing's 'meeting arrangements' for the evening, and then I realized it was a false alarm.
When this matter was mentioned, Hilda suddenly felt resentful.
"Ah, yes, I have to talk about this matter carefully when I see him tomorrow." He patted the Dharma book hanging on his belt with an unkind look on his face: "——I heard from Andrew of the Three-pronged Sword that Mr. Zheng
He does a big deal with the Three-Chased Sword and earns a lot of jade coins every month. He needs to bear some of the cost of mobilizing the protective circle this time so that he can have a longer memory."
"Three-pronged sword? Why did he start a business with the three-pronged sword again? What kind of business? Is it dangerous? Do I need to leave the school?" The head of the assistant teaching team immediately paid attention to the part related to the guard.
"I don't know... I said I signed a contract of silence. I just know it has something to do with the talisman." Hilda also had a partial understanding of this: "But Andrew said that he can earn several hundred jade coins every month, which is more than enough to pay the fine...
"
Zhang Yu shook his head slightly.
Obviously he doesn't like Hilda's suggestion.
"Criticism is okay, fines... may not be supported by the school." He concluded cautiously, and at the same time handed the letter in his hand to the guest at the table: "After the shift, I flew him a paper crane.
Remind him not to leave the sight of the guards casually in the future...and this is his reply."
Hilda looked at the two-word reply and finally understood why the leader had such an expression when he just walked in.
"As expected of him."
The teacher of the practical class can only give such an evaluation.
"——Don't talk about it anymore," Zhang Yu took back the letter, threw it into the drawer, and shook his head: "You probably didn't come to my office so late just to chat."
Hilda's face turned slightly serious.
He glanced out the window again.
Zhang Yu curled his fingers and tapped on the desk. A very faint curse light spread around, like a layer of light film, quickly covering the entire office.
"No abnormalities were found in the guardian array. The more than 100 monitoring points we selected in the Silent Forest are all normal. All target clans that were pre-judged to be high-risk are safe and sound and have not been attacked in any way."
Hilda cherished her ink as much as gold, and briefly reported the information she brought back from outside the school, but her tone could not hide her disappointment.
This time, the 'target' he was talking about was not Zheng Qing, but the centaurs, ogres, mandrills or dwarf tribes in the silent forest.
Long before Zheng Qing was abducted by Thomas, the teaching assistant team had already discovered a not-so-obvious pattern, that is, in recent months, around weekends, there is a high probability of a vicious incident occurring in the Silent Forest.
At first, those who were attacked were those races that had a bad relationship with the wizards, such as the ogre tribe or the goblin tribe; gradually, the centaur tribe, which had a close relationship with the wizards, also encountered unexpected events.
In addition, during spring hunting, some students found large areas of withered vegetation, dead birds and beasts, and coal-tar-like sap in the hunting grounds, etc., and many other signs indicated that there were active dark wizards near the school.
Because there was no clear evidence of connection, the school did not combine these incidents, nor did it link them with the dark wizard Whateley's Crow organization.
But within the teaching assistant group, many people do not think this is a simple coincidence - especially as Gan Ning and Thomas defected one after another and became 'crows' - based on various clues and divination conclusions, everyone agreed that these attacks were related to crows
.
The crows are stepping up their illegal experiments.
There are crows in the school!
As a result, the teaching assistant group and some young school workers from the school working committee began to join forces and set up a dragnet in the Silent Forest, lurking near the magical races that were at higher risk of attack, trying to capture those dark wizards.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing for two weeks in a row.
"——Could they be aware of our ambush?" Hilda was silent, but couldn't help but express a certain guess that many people had secretly raised.
Zhang Yu lowered his eyelids: "You mean a traitor?"
"Since Thomas... we can't rule out any possibility." Hilda looked serious.
The leader of the teaching assistant group shook his head slightly: "I have considered this possibility a long time ago, so the participants have been carefully selected. It cannot be said that there is absolutely no traitor, but this possibility is very low...
In comparison, I believe in another possibility. Through the last kidnapping case, those crows obtained enough experimental materials, so they chose to hibernate in the short term."
"What about our plan?"
"They are just dormant, not dead... As long as they are still dark wizards, there will eventually be a moment when they can control more than their bloodthirsty impulses."
