According to the original plan, Zheng Qing planned to gather a five-man standard hunting team from the Knights of Forgiveness to carry out tonight's adventure. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the time of the other hunters in the team was not convenient.
For example, Lan Que. Near the end of the term, Lan Que, who is an outstanding student of Starry Sky Academy, has spent many days in the ring, especially today is Friday. It is said that he broke many bones in the ring battle in the afternoon. Zheng Qing really
I was embarrassed to speak and let the cold swordsman risk his injuries.
The young monk Shi Yuan came to this place because of the Dharma Assembly. Today is Gengwu month, Xinsi day, the 13th day of the fifth lunar month. It is the day of worship for many gods such as Guan Sheng, City God and Dragon King - of course, this is all traditional mysticism.
It's far-fetched, and no legendary wizard has confirmed the birthdays of the gods - but every time such a day comes, the students of Atlas will inevitably recite prayers several times in front of the statues of the gods.
If it’s not your god, you don’t have to worship it, but you can’t lose respect.
Another important reason why Zheng Qing did not inform the young monk Shi Yuan is that the young monk has almost never participated in the training of the Forgiveness Hunting Team. Inviting him to come would be less reliable than inviting Nicholas.
In the afternoon, Nicholas quietly found Zheng Qing, hoping to participate in the evening adventure. Zheng Qing knew that he wanted to help Liu Feifei catch the faceless demon disguised as a pet snake, but Zheng Qing refused to invite Nicholas.
Regardless of the fact that Nicholas, like the young monk Shi Yuan, has never participated in the hunting team training, he will be a decoration to a large extent after being invited; Nicholas's current identity - the wizard of the North District - is very head-scratching.
For the curse seal, every time a magic is used, a frog will be sacrificed, and the magic effect is also unstable. Various factors made Zheng Qing decline Nicholas's request to volunteer.
As for Dylan, he was the first hunter to be excluded from the optional range. Because his work and rest schedule is opposite to that of Zheng Qing and others, when Zheng Qing goes on adventures in the evening, it is when he has class. If during the semester, Dylan
It doesn't matter if you take a day off, but it's the end of the semester.
For college students, the last few classes before the end of the semester are the most important classes in the entire school year. Many students who study sloppily on weekdays count on the key points outlined by the teacher in these classes.
Dylan is that kind of classmate.
In this way, after repeated deliberation and selection, Zheng Qing invited Jiang Yu to participate in tonight's adventure. As expected, the witch happily agreed to his invitation.
It is true that Jiang Yu has not participated in the training of the Sin Hunting Team, but her previous adventures in the secret world and her performance in daily practice classes have made Zheng Qing full of confidence in her participation. Moreover, Zheng Qing hopes that through this adventure
, help Jiang Yu relieve the knot in her heart.
According to general hunting rules, everyone in the hunting competition must use a code name.
Even though tonight is not a hunt, this rule still applies.
Zheng Qing's code name is "Black Cat" - the original code name of "Mr.". Because of the appearance of Mr. Wu, the young government-funded student felt a little guilty, so he changed his code name to a new one this time.
Anyway, everyone present knew his other identity.
Jiang Yu’s codename is ‘Squad Leader’, and it’s very well-behaved. No one will call her wrong, and no one will make random guesses.
For the remaining few people, Xiao Xiao was codenamed 'Doctor', Zhang Jixin was codenamed 'Elder', and Banner was codenamed 'Fat Man'. They were all used in daily life and no one had any objections.
As for the positions, Zhang Jixin is still the main hunter, Banner and Xiao Xiao are the assistants on the left and right, Jiang Yu is the hunter, and Zheng Qing is the hunter, taking on the most important search work tonight.
After briefly confirming the code and location, Xiao Xiao once again emphasized to everyone the requirements and taboos for entering and exiting the museum - for example, temporary access cards and student cards need to be used at the same time, for example, you are not allowed to touch any exhibits in the exhibition hall, follow the team and pass quickly, and then
For example, when passing through the magic painting exhibition hall, you should always keep your eyes on the silver lines on the floor and never look at the paintings on either side.
"During the daytime exhibition, the school will open protective barriers to control the influence of those magic paintings. But when night falls, in order to save magic power, the museum will close those barriers." Xiao Xiao warned very seriously:
"If you don't want to be sucked into purgatory by paintings depicting hell, or feel the scream beyond the howl of a banshee, you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious!"
"I have a small question." The fat man asked aloud while adjusting the leather buckle of the Dharma book: "If we use our student card to enter and exit the museum, it will leave traces of our identity... Brother Qing, is it okay?"
The implication is that this is a violation of regulations, and Zheng Qing also carries a punishment of detention in school.
Zheng Qing finally realized what he had overlooked, and felt annoyed in his heart.
"Whether it's a violation or not depends on what we have done." Xiao Xiao had obviously considered this question and answered with confidence: "What you got is a temporary work permit. I can testify that you are the volunteers I invited to come to the museum to help temporarily.
"In theory, the school needs to give you some subsidies... The prerequisite is that you are not allowed to damage any exhibits in the museum!"
The last sentence was already emphasized for the third time tonight.
The fat man smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he understood.
Xiao Xiao looked around, still with a hint of uneasiness on his face, but after seeing Zheng Qing's firm expression, he finally sighed and walked to the bank of the lake under an old willow tree with a crooked neck.
The willow tree is very old. Compared with other sturdy willow trees, its branches and leaves are a little sparse, and the moonlight leaking from the top of its head is more than that of other willow trees.
Xiao Xiao lifted up a cluster of low-hanging willow branches, revealing a crooked wooden sign hanging on the trunk.
There were a few words vaguely written on the wooden sign. Due to the light, Zheng Qing could not see clearly. Xiao Xiao had no intention of letting everyone take a closer look, so he directly raised his hand and tugged at the wooden sign.
Only then did Zheng Qing notice that there was a thin rope next to the wooden sign.
Looking up along the rope, I saw a small, shiny brass bell hanging on a thick branch of the Crooked Willow tree. The small bell swayed left and right under the pull of the rope.
The bell on the bell swung silently.
The bell didn't ring.
But Zheng Qing vaguely heard a clear ringtone coming from a very far away place. He was not sure if it was his imagination. Looking left and right, his companions had a bit of confusion on their faces.
Jingle Bell.
"Did you hear that?" he whispered in the witch's ear.
Jiang Yu's earlobes were a little red.
She shook her head.
"Quiet!" Xiao Xiao gave his captain a stern look. Zheng Qing immediately raised his hand and made a zipper movement near his mouth.
Jingle Bell.
The faint ringing is still ringing in the distance.
Soon, faint ripples appeared on the surface of the lake. After a while, several dark gray iron oxen slowly emerged from the water and rowed to the shore in a hurry, revealing their broad backs to the young wizards.
Xiao Xiao took the lead and jumped on the cow's back.
The iron bull shook its head, turned around steadily, and swam toward the depths of the small lake. Zheng Qing gritted his teeth and jumped up second, followed closely by the others.
Soon, the lakeshore returned to its former calm.
In the depths of the small lake, only a few vague figures could be seen.
