What could make Professor Yi say "really bright" was naturally not the small fireball exploded by the paper crane.
It's the thread of fate connected to that piece of paper.
While the divination professor was staring at the line and calculating quickly in his mind, Lao Yao had already read the contents on the letter, chewed his pipe, and put the letter into his arms.
"Is there something wrong at school?" Professor Yi stared blankly into the distance and asked casually in a casual tone - for him, this was not difficult, he could see the end of the 'very bright' line at a glance
Where to attach it.
"Well." Old Yao took a puff from his pipe and blew out a strong stream of smoke. He frowned and looked worried: "According to previous calculations, the Xuanhuang fruit should mature in half a month, so during this period I
Arrange for Xiao Su to temporarily help look after the house..."
"Which Xiao Su?"
"The one that all the boys love."
"oh."
"...It just seems that the plan can't keep up with the changes." Professor Yao breathed a heavy sigh: "This morning, she originally went to Danhag to attend the inquiry meeting, but she unexpectedly received an emergency call from the Black Prison halfway... Then the school
There was a temporary vacancy in the guardianship... In such a short time, the guardian circle was activated."
"What a coincidence." The emptiness in Professor Yi's eyes gradually disappeared, and his eyes became full of energy again.
"There are no coincidences in fate." Professor Yao took the pipe from his mouth, knocked it against the wall, knocked out the ashes in the pot, and then refilled it with apricot-red tobacco: "...but it doesn't matter,
The school is capable of protecting itself. I just feel bad about being provoked."
…
…
In the same bad mood as Professor Yao, there is also the vice president of First University, Ms. Shi Hui.
At this moment, she was standing in front of a large tree with a height of more than ten meters and thick yellow leaves, frowning as she stared at the several humanoid figures curled up by the aerial roots under the tree.
Before the war, in order to prevent certain uncontrollable variables, the General Staff Headquarters issued a "clearance order" to execute a group of high-risk prisoners - including demons captured in the timeline's pre-operational operations.
There are also some prisoners who have been held in the Black Prison for a long time and were transferred from the New World.
The so-called 'execution' actually means sending these prisoners under the Xuanhuang tree, using their flesh, flesh and spirit to replenish nutrients for this big tree.
Originally this was a very simple thing.
Xuanhuangmu has always had a good appetite and would not refuse any food brought to Qigen. But no one expected that something unexpected would happen today.
After 'eating' those demons, the fruits hanging on the black yellow wood were unexpectedly ripened, causing the entire tree to fall into a state of chaos and slumber, and the other captives who were sent together became a somewhat embarrassing existence.
If they are rescued from the air root and put back into the cell, on the one hand, more manpower will be needed to take care of them, and on the other hand, it may also make Xuanhuangmu unhappy - it always pays close attention to its own food, in case the wizards
When moving the 'food', it wakes it up from chaos and affects the quality of the black and yellow fruit. No one can afford this risk.
And if you turn a blind eye to those 'foods', there is the same risk. No one knows what the state of the prisoners in the Qi Root is. What if they are still conscious? When the war breaks out, these 'foods' become
The biggest risk.
Because it was too sensitive, even the most astute fortune tellers could not give accurate opinions on how to deal with it, so in the end the staff had to report the matter to the two vice-principals.
So Shi Hui had to return to the inner city of the castle and come under this ancient tree at this critical moment.
Because she was in a bad mood, she did not show up as an adult woman, but adopted the appearance of a girl with bright eyes and white teeth. This way she could lose her temper at will without making anyone feel disobedient.
The breeze blew through the treetops, and a red-black mysterious leaf swayed from the branch and fell in front of the witch's eyes.
Shi Hui reached out and held the leaf in her hand.
"Who is wrapped in the Qi Root now?" She rubbed the mysterious leaf in her hand with some annoyance. The red and black leaves were slowly crushed on her fingertips, turning into wisps of mellow inspiration and blending into it.
In her breath.
The person responsible for taking care of the blackwood is an old wizard with gray hair, tall and holding a pickaxe.
"Several alien gods sent from the new world," the old wizard said in a calm voice, unlike the other jailers around him who were frightened by Vice Principal Shi's harsh tone: "They are all old-school gods who were captured in the pioneering campaign.
, after losing faith and worship, most of its power has been lost. The list is here, they are..."
"I don't want to know the real names of those alien gods whose names exceed a hundred words!" Shi Hui interrupted the old wizard very decisively and waved her hand: "...Skip this part, I just want to know, if what happened before
War, can you make sure these prisoners stay so quiet?"
The old wizard was silent for a moment, then moved the hand holding the pickaxe upwards and held the highest part of the handle.
"I can only guarantee that they will not break free from the shackles of the black prison from within." The old man used his words very carefully: "But if a certain big demon crosses your defense line and appears behind us... anything can happen."
"It's endless!" The witch scratched her hair and complained angrily: "Those diviners in the staff department are useless. I can see new loopholes every second..."
"When you try to spy on the truth of the future, you must learn to endure the backlash of fate." The old man replied calmly: "I think every student who has just entered school should learn this in the first divination class...
… There are not that many loopholes in the guards of Hell, but every time you try to close those loopholes, you increase the burden on the world, making it teeter between different choices."
Behind the two of them, the wizards wearing gray robes, black robes, and white robes all lowered their heads, pretending not to hear the old wizard's lecture to the Vice Principal.
But Shi Hui couldn't pretend that she couldn't hear.
"What if we add a magic circle to you?" She interrupted the old wizard's chatter, took out a memo from somewhere, and marked it with a quill quickly:
"I can temporarily allocate a large one-time magic array to help you protect...such as the Great Five Elements Tianyan Sword Formation produced by Shushan, or the Red Dust Confusion Formation, Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation, Wuhou Bagua Formation provided by the school laboratory...
...and the Key of Solomon, there are only these five choices, they are all spare parts, this is the only set."
"The loopholes in fate can never be patched up," the old wizard repeated his attitude, then unconsciously rubbed his hand on the hoe twice, then hesitated and nodded: "Let's ask Wuhou Bagua...
Even if seven or eight great wizards rush in from the opposite side, we can still deal with it for a while."
Shi Hui nodded and paused on the memo with the quill in his hand. Immediately, a stream of light shot out from the page and towards the outer layer of the castle.
