This time, Teacher Zhu didn't seem too surprised by Gu Wenyu's doubts. He asked, "How did you find out that you can turn into a cat?"
Gu Wenyu thought for a moment and hesitated: "Uh... because of an accident, I suddenly became a cat." She didn't lie. It was indeed because of an accident that she entered the world of the book and then became a cat.
Already.
Teacher Zhu nodded when he heard this and said: "Maybe no one has told you that in a situation like yours, we call it the awakening of soul power. Generally, people who awaken their soul power independently will be born with a special ability.
I heard that there are people with two abilities, but I have only heard about them and have never seen them."
"Oh..." Gu Wenyu nodded. She didn't know if she was considered a soul awakener, but she probably didn't.
Although she didn't know how to calculate her situation, she finally figured out that the strange energy in her body was called soul power. From the name, it should be a kind of energy from the soul. No wonder she could use it even if she changed her body.
Teacher Zhu looked at Gu Wenyu and asked again: "What are you doing on the rooftop so late?"
Regarding this, Gu Wenyu did not hide anything, "I followed you to the teaching building. I didn't see you when I came in. Then I smelled the devil's energy, so I came up to take a look."
Teacher Zhu was very surprised when he heard this. He asked in disbelief: "Can you smell the devil's energy?"
Gu Wenyu nodded calmly: "Okay." She then remembered that Teacher Zhu said that those who awakened to soul power would only have one ability, so she explained: "This is the ability of the black cat."
Teacher Zhu looked at Gu Wenyu suspiciously, as if she didn't quite believe this statement. According to her, not only could she transform into a black cat, but she could also smell demonic energy. These were already two abilities, and... ordinary people
How is it possible to smell demonic energy? Not even his master can do it.
It can only be said that the abilities of those with awakened soul power are all kinds of strange, and anything is possible.
"Why are you following me?" Teacher Zhu returned to the topic again, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
"Because you look exactly like my brother." Gu Wenyu said.
"Gu Wentian?" Teacher Zhu still remembers Gu Wenyu's words in the afternoon.
"Yes." Gu Wenyu nodded.
Teacher Zhu sighed and said, "But I'm not your brother."
"I know." Gu Wenyu didn't mean any disappointment, but continued: "But you and my brother must have something to do with each other."
Teacher Zhu said helplessly: "I said, I don't know Gu Wentian."
"I know." Gu Wenyu said again.
"Then you still..." Teacher Zhu was very puzzled.
"Maybe there is something that you don't even know about." Gu Wenyu said.
Teacher Zhu smiled and said, "How is it possible? If I don't know it myself, then what can you know if you follow me?"
Gu Wenyu shook his head and did not answer this question, but asked another question: "What was that leopard-like thing just now?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhu's face became solemn again and said: "It's a soul-eating beast."
"Soul-eating beast?" Gu Wenyu had never heard of such a thing.
Teacher Zhu was not impatient. He explained: "The soul-eating beast is a strange creature between a monster and a demon soul. It is completely black and difficult to catch with the naked eye. That thing naturally likes to eat human souls. The one who was killed today
That girl must have encountered the Soul-Eating Beast."
"Then we just let it run away, wouldn't it mean that someone else is going to suffer?" Gu Wenyu said with a bitter face.
"Well...I'm afraid so." Teacher Zhu's face didn't look very good either.
Gu Wenyu was silent for a while, then seemed to remember something. She pointed to the place where the formation had just been engraved and asked, "What was that glowing thing just now?"
Teacher Zhu: "It's the Demon Gathering Array."
Gu Wenyu could roughly understand the purpose of this thing just by hearing the name, so he asked again: "Did you draw it?"
Teacher Zhu shook his head and said: "No, I want to reverse the formation, but it's a pity that it hasn't been completed yet."
Gu Wenyu: "Reverse the formation? What will happen?"
Teacher Zhu finally got tired of being asked, "This classmate, you have a lot of questions!"
Gu Wenyu immediately gave a fake salute and said: "Teacher Zhu, my name is Shen Qing." Then she said weakly: "No one told me this before. Every time I encounter these monsters, I don't know.
What should I do? It’s rare for Teacher Zhu to know everything. Of course I have to ask clearly, otherwise if the gun is hit, wouldn’t it be an unjust death?”
What Gu Wenyu said was half true and half false. She really wanted to know these things, but she didn't meet the demons often, and this was only the third time.
"Shen Qing? You and your brother don't have the same last name?" Teacher Zhu asked.
"Uh... no, it's a long story." Gu Wenyu originally planned to make up a lie, but she considered that she would leave one day and it would cause too much trouble to Shen Qing, so she kept it vague at first.
It's past.
Teacher Zhu didn't delve too deeply into this issue. They might not be biological siblings, or one might take his father's surname and the other his mother's surname. There was no need for him to ask too clearly.
Seeing that Teacher Zhu was silent, Gu Wenyu asked tentatively: "Teacher Zhu? What will happen to the reverse change formation?"
Teacher Zhu looked at Gu Wenyu and finally explained: "Recall the monsters to suppress them."
Gu Wenyu: "Oh, then... the formation is gone, is there nothing we can do?"
"Well, the soul-devouring beast has destroyed the demon-gathering array, and there is nothing I can do." Teacher Zhu nodded. He had learned from a master and was quite clear about the demon clan. But for someone like Shen Qing to awaken his soul power
Or, he couldn't really let it go, so he answered all Shen Qing's questions that he could.
Gu Wenyu thought for a while, and then she thought of a terrible question: "If this magic gathering array is used to summon soul-eating beasts, then who drew this array?"
Teacher Zhu shook his head, and his face became a little more gloomy. This was exactly what he was worried about, "It is impossible for the demons to shape the demon-gathering array by themselves, so there is a black hand behind it."
"Why did you deliberately recruit the soul-eating beast? Just to kill people? Do you just want to kill that girl, or do you kill people indiscriminately? Why does it have to be a soul-eating beast? Is there any evil magic that uses souls to practice?" Gu Wenyu asked suddenly
Got a bunch of questions.
Teacher Zhu knocked on her forehead angrily and said: "These things are not your business. You should study hard. It's getting late. Go back to the dormitory quickly." With that, Teacher Zhu walked towards the door.
go.
Gu Wenyu covered his head and followed, dissatisfied: "Don't underestimate me, I can also help."
"It's good if you don't cause trouble." Teacher Zhu picked up the iron lock on the ground, and when Gu Wenyu also came out, he was ready to close the door.
"How could I cause trouble? At least I can distinguish the devil's energy. Wouldn't that be helpful? Besides, I saved you just now!" Gu Wenyu argued that she must find the murderer together.
It's not that Gu Wenyu isn't afraid, it's because she has reasons to do so.
First of all, she has to catch the murderer before she can leave the world in the book; secondly, Teacher Zhu looks exactly like Gu Wentian, so she needs to have more contact with Teacher Zhu to find out the connection between him and her brother; finally, and most importantly, she needs to have more contact with Teacher Zhu.
, Teacher Zhu can tell you from the first glance that he has a teacher. If you follow Teacher Zhu, you can learn more about things.
Therefore, Gu Wenyu must work with Teacher Zhu to find the soul-eating beast and the black hand behind it.
