"Since the end of the exam, you seem to be distracted more frequently." Shi Zhuqing brought a plate of cut apples and placed it in front of Chu Xiangyun. The crisp sound of the plate touching the table attracted her attention.
Chu Xiangyun slowly shifted his gaze from the table to Shi Zhuqing's face, seeing that she was obviously extremely curious but insisted on telling Chu Xiangyun first.
"Well..." Chu Xiangyun straightened up his lying waist slightly. Shi Zhuqing raised his heart, but saw her hesitating and falling back on the table in frustration.
If she hadn't understood Chu Xiangyun's character, Shi Zhuqing would have felt that she was deliberately playing tricks on her.
It seems that I can only speak first.
Shi Zhuqing sat next to her and spoke casually, as if it was just a normal chat, "Are you still thinking about ridiculous things?"
Chu Xiangyun nodded, took a toothpick and forked an apple piece, placed it on top of Jiujiu who was lying on his back and was sleeping, and said, "I still feel something is wrong."
One day had passed since the exam ended that day, and Chu Xiangyun had already informed Shi Zhuqing of all his experiences in the examination room.
The ridiculous incident was not a pleasant experience for Shi Zhuqing.
Even though it was just a fantasy, for Shi Zhuqing, it was the first time she saw the sacrifice of others with her own eyes, and it was also the first time she tasted the powerlessness of being alone.
She was always proud, so she kept silent about this experience. Fortunately, Chu Xiangyun never asked about these things.
Just for the sake of her childhood sweetheart who was in trouble, she had to wake up and take out a pen and paper to help analyze.
"I really owe you..." Shi Zhuqing muttered, and patted Chu Xiangyun's head, which was stretched out like a puppy.
"First of all, the first possibility, which I personally think is the biggest possibility - is that you are overthinking it."
"Pass!" Chu Xiangyun raised his hand.
I knock!
Shi Zhuqing hit Chu Xiangyun on the head with the Qianhe Seal very skillfully.
"Ugh..." Chu Xiangyun covered his head and sat upright knowingly.
Shi Zhuqing continued his analysis unaffected: "According to the analysis of the examination content of Lingxiao Mansion in the past ten years that I checked online, there is no precedent for the fantasy setting of Lingxiao Mansion to be played by real people. At the same time, judging from the workload, this is also
It’s almost impossible. Do you know how many people take the exam every year? How many teachers are there in Lingxiao Mansion?”
"Can't we recruit volunteers to perform? If it were me, I would definitely participate."
Shi Zhuqing glanced at Jiujiu, who was holding an apple and chewing on it, trying to participate in the conversation, and retorted: "Then how do you ensure that volunteers will not leak the content of the exam? How do you ensure that all volunteers can play their roles seriously?"
"Uh...Dingling Deed? Training?"
Shi Zhuqing crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows to signal it to continue.
As he talked, he felt that his words were very unreasonable, and he couldn't help but lower his voice.
"You can also imagine how much work this is, right? If the people in Lingxiao Mansion have so much free time, they might as well do their campus road planning and see how many people get lost every year on the news."
"Ahem."
Seeing Shi Zhuqing inexplicably starting her venomous remarks again, Chu Xiangyun cleared his throat and reminded her to get back to the topic.
"...In short, this is impossible." Shi Zhuqing returned to the topic, "You think he is very different from others. Maybe the examiner put a lot of thought into the design, or the hardware facilities have been upgraded this year.
, it is normal for the spiritual tools used to decorate the examination room to be updated after so many years."
Chu Xiangyun languished, and he couldn't see her like this. He jumped in front of Shi Zhuqing and asked: "Isn't this just the first possibility? Since there is the first possibility, there is also the second possibility, right?"
"The second possibility..." Shi Zhuqing frowned slightly and lowered her voice, "This is my personal guess, just a guess."
The desert, the blood-stained paper, and the man who harmed himself mercilessly seemed to appear before Shi Zhuqing's eyes.
"I suspect...he is not human."
"…………"
"Zhuqing, do you want to go to the hospital?" Jiujiu stretched out his short hand to try to measure the temperature of her forehead.
Shi Zhuqing's face was dark, and he pressed the Qianhe Seal on it mercilessly to tell it to be quiet.
Then she looked at Chu Xiangyun and saw that she was holding her face in deep thought, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that if it was Chu Xiangyun, he would definitely believe her.
Chu Xiangyun has been like this since she was a child. She always believes in what the people she trusts say. No matter how bizarre the words are, she will always think about the possibility.
This is her shortcoming, but it is also her advantage.
Shi Zhuqing continued to add: "At the end of the exam, I saw him take out a piece of paper from his body. I have never heard of such a thing."
"Spiritual magic related to space has always been one of the important topics studied in major universities, but I have never heard of anyone actually studying it and producing results. Spiritual weapons such as the Mustard Seed Ring and Sumeru Ring are just gimmicks. Everyone
Everyone knows that things are just thrown in and compressed, and things that are too big or too hard cannot be placed in it. It is enough to decorate it with clothes and food. It is really useless."
"Not to mention the space spells that act on people, like Miuxiang, even if it is just a piece of paper, it is unimaginable."
"Are you sure it wasn't a spell that was applied to his clothes?" asked the tweet.
"I'm sure." Shi Zhuqing suddenly felt a little ashamed when he said this, "Ahem... I was watching while he was taking the things. He hit his heart with his palm. I thought he was going to commit suicide, but in the end he only got rid of his clothes.
I took out the paper after it was broken..."
"..."
"I think we can report him for playing hooligan in front of minors." Jiujiu nodded solemnly, and then faced the fate of being pressed under the Qianhe Seal.
"I think..." Chu Xiangyun finally spoke, attracting the attention of a man and a beast, "I think he is a human."
Jiujiu glanced at Shi Zhuqing with some pride, only to see her staring at Chu Xiangyun, listening carefully to her words.
Sure enough, Chu Xiangyun continued.
"But it's not just people."
"...Schrödinger's people?" Jiujiu couldn't help complaining.
Note: It is rumored that there was a scholar named Schrödinger. In order to study space magic, he put a cat beast into the space spiritual weapon he developed to observe the state. However, there was a problem with the spiritual weapon and it could not be opened again. So far we still have no idea.
I don't know whether the cat beast is dead or alive.
Shi Zhuqing ignored it this time, followed Chu Xiangyun's thoughts, and spoke to the point, "Do you think he is fused with a space spiritual weapon?"
"A semi-finished space spiritual weapon." Chu Xiangyun added.
Shi Zhuqing turned the pen in his hand and suddenly changed the topic, "I can't see clearly what's on that piece of paper. It's obviously stained with blood, but the piece of paper is intact, but I can't see what's written on it at all."
Chu Xiangyun said nothing. She knew that Shi Zhuqing was just talking to herself at this time, which was how she sometimes did when she fell into deep thinking.
Shi Zhuqing spoke faster, "This is something that cannot be explained to others."
"Is it a letter? Is it a list? Is it—"
"drawing."
Seeing Wu Xi's appearance, no one could say that he would be a spy or a soldier, but if he were said to be a scholar, no one would object.
"A scholar who studies space spiritual weapons..."
Jiujiu was infected by the serious atmosphere at this time, and followed their thoughts and asked: "Why is a scholar being hunted down?"
"It is precisely because he is a scholar that he is hunted down." Shi Zhuqing sneered, as if he had thought of something, and he felt thoughtful for a moment.
"...Forget it, a little fool like you won't know such adult things." Shi Zhuqing turned to look at Chu Xiangyun, who was still deep in thought, "I think this is why he is so different from others.
.”
Seeing that Chu Xiangyun still looked a little confused, Shi Zhuqing compromised and said: "The admission notice should be sent next Monday. After that, I will accompany you to ask my uncle. He should know something."
"Okay, I'm thirsty and I'm going to get a glass of water." After solving a puzzle, Shi Zhuqing was very happy and left briskly.
Jiu Jiu immediately grabbed the hem of her clothes and rushed up, "Take me with you, take me with you, I'm thirsty too!"
In the end, only Chu Xiangyun was left in deep thought in the room.
After a long time, she finally spoke in confusion.
"So...why are scholars being hunted down?"
*
A week passed quickly, and as expected, Chu Xiangyun and Shi Zhuqing both received admission notices from Lingxiao Mansion. Enclosed were a bracelet and the recipient's student card.
After receiving the letter, the two of them just glanced at the content. One of them started to explore how to use the bracelet, while the other was having fun staring at the student card. Only Star Flying Squirrel was left looking at the notice.
He couldn't help but nod his head in relief.
After a while, Shi Zhuqing figured out how to use the bracelet, "It seems that Lingxiao Mansion's student bracelets are no different from the ones currently popular on the market. The buttons are similar, so they are not difficult to use."
"Xiangyun, I have set up your account for you, and also added our contact information. I will tell you about some commonly used keys later. Don't press them randomly except for these keys."
Chu Xiangyun put down her student card and nodded obediently. She knew that a lot of past events must have flashed through Shi Zhuqing's mind at this time. In order to avoid getting into trouble with her, she could never refute it even if she had thousands of words in her heart.
Speaking of this, we have to mention Chu Xiangyun’s past glorious achievements. She is not an appliance killer, but she is very good at digging out some function settings that the manufacturer may have forgotten.
For example, setting the machine language to a weird foreign language is considered a routine operation, or it is common to log out of one's account inexplicably. I don't know what key is pressed to automatically dial the police phone number, and suddenly gibberish symbols are sent to everyone...
Wait, wait, wait, in the nearly ten years they have known each other, these things have happened everywhere.
Even for safety reasons, so far Chu Xiangyun has been using the baby version of the bracelet, which is the kind that has many limited functions that cannot be used.
In fact, she herself has no interest in social software or entertainment tools, but for some reason, any electronic tool in her hands will become unrecognizable.
Shi Zhuqing glanced at her suspiciously. Considering that Lingxiao Mansion was in an isolated place and the bracelet was the only communication tool they could use at the moment, he had no choice but to temporarily put away his worries.
Looking at Chu Xiangyun's obedient face, she softened her tone and said: "It's not that I won't let you use it, but if you want to press other buttons, remember to ask me or others first, don't press them casually. How much does this bracelet cost?
I heard it’s quite expensive. If it’s damaged for no reason, you’ll have to pay for a new one.”
Seeing that she didn't seem angry, Chu Xiangyun nodded casually, then picked up the student card and started playing with it.
This guy... has always been very good at observing people's emotions.
Shi Zhuqing gritted her teeth, thinking that she couldn't care less about someone who still used a baby bracelet.
She also picked up her student card and looked at it. It was no different from the one in the fantasy world of the Lingxiao Mansion Entrance Examination. After inputting the spiritual power, the name of the holder would appear.
"Is there anything special about the student card?" Jiujiu came close to Chu Xiangyun. His white beard trembled slightly as he spoke, sweeping across Chu Xiangyun's skin and causing a slight itch.
Chu Xiangyun shook his head, "I'm just curious about its structure."
Shi Zhuqing was not surprised by her answer. Chu Xiangyun had always been particularly curious about these things that could be called "spiritual weapons".
"If you are curious, remember to listen carefully in the casting class later." Shi Zhuqing warned, and then opened the newly obtained bracelet, the light screen was displayed, and she just operated it casually and a picture was projected on the wall.
Chu Xiangyun looked at her with admiration.
"..." Shi Zhuqing also felt a little complicated because this was the only time he could get such a look from her.
"——The editing video of Lingxiao Mansion should also be out, let's take a look."
