The black cat's lazy voice sounded above the stacked walls: "Just like you sometimes need something to stimulate your appetite, so add a little hot sauce to your meal."
Zheng Qing turned around.
Just then, I saw a glimmer of light flashing through the black cat's dark red eyes, and then red flames ignited, pouring out from the end of each of its hairs. In the blink of an eye, the black cat's body was wrapped in a thick afterbirth made of flames.
The large and small pink mushrooms that emerged from its back, eye sockets, mandibles, and neck quietly turned into ashes in the blazing flames.
The black cat shook its body, shaking away the ashes, and its black fur became silky and shiny again in the sun. The tip of its tail curled up proudly.
It's just that the boy is not in the mood to praise the black cat's power at the moment.
"Where is Zhu Si?!" His voice sounded a bit sharp in the empty city.
"I didn't see it." Jiang Yu also lost her usual composure and seemed a little panicked: "You were here just now...did you hide somewhere?"
This is a battlefield, a place where anything can happen, except it's not a hide-and-seek place.
Both knew that the witch's guess was extremely unlikely.
Being a saint in front of others, but not receiving the joy of admiration, the black cat felt a little bored.
It sniffed, let out a light sigh, and tilted its head to look down at the city.
At the foot of the inner castle wall.
Among the criss-crossing wickers and intertwined spells.
A short figure wearing a long robe was stumbling among them. Perhaps because the magic environment caused by chaos on the battlefield was not stable enough, the short figure flickered in and out, as if the picture being played on the TV was broken.
"Wow," the black cat sighed in surprise: "If you are looking for that little girl Zhu Si, you can stick your head out of the city wall and take a look below... I must admit that the courage and mobility of children these days
It’s all off the charts.”
Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu looked at each other.
The next second, the two of them rushed to the crenel, stood on the edge of the city wall and looked out. Under the guidance of the black cat, the two of them soon saw the figure of the little witch.
"How did she get down there?!"
"What is she going down for?"
The two young wizards exclaimed in unison.
"Everyone has his own path in front of him. Whether he goes along the road or takes a fork in the road is his own choice." Black Cat rarely became serious for a while, but what he said was difficult for people to understand: "That's how I am, Zhu Si
That's true, and so are you... Accepting the path in front of you does not mean making the wrong choice; similarly, choosing the path that seems to be the right one does not mean that the future will be smooth."
"The future is left to the future, we choose now." Jiang Yu looked at the black cat seriously, with an equally serious expression: "As long as every choice does not violate our own beliefs, when the future comes, we will eventually gain our own forgiveness.
"
There was a hint of admiration in the black cat's eyes.
"There are few wizards at your age who see the road so clearly." It did not hesitate to praise: "Keep this mentality, and you can go a long way on the road of wizards..."
"what are you guys saying?!"
Zheng Qing grabbed the black cat by the neck and pushed its head toward the wall: "Help, help me bring Zhu Si back...for the sake of us wearing the same pair of shoes."
Black Cat looked back at the young government-funded student with a look of disbelief on his face.
"How could you be so stupid?" It looked at Zheng Qing, and then at Jiang Yu who was looking worriedly at the city. It looked like it hated iron and said: "They are both students of the First University. There is a huge gap between them.
How could it be so big!”
"I'm not a student of Atlas, and I'm not good at guessing riddles!" Zheng Qing grabbed the black cat's neck with one hand and one of its legs with the other, looking impatient, trying to throw the cat out of the city: "I just
I need your help to catch that little girl."
The black cat couldn't break free from the boy's clutches.
"I can't bring it back!"
It screamed in the end, and its tail suddenly stretched out, wrapping tightly around the wall like a whip, and several claws popped out and clung to the green bricks on the wall: "Who brought her back from the gap between life and death?
We must bring her back along the gap between life and death! No one else can!"
Very magical.
This time, Zheng Qing actually understood the meaning of Black Cat's words.
Zhu Si fell from the mirror world into the fantasy dreamland. In the eyes of wizards, the fantasy dreamland is the world between life and death, so Zheng Qing brought her back from the fantasy dreamland, which was equivalent to bringing her out of the gap between life and death.
bring back.
But now, the group of people are in the battlefield.
On the battlefield, there is no obvious distance between life and death, which means that Zheng Qing must personally go deep into the battlefield to bring Zhu Si back.
"You can't do it either?"
The young public-funded student still seemed to be disbelieving in Black Cat's words, but the strength in his hands had relaxed, which meant that he vaguely believed that Black Cat was telling the truth: "You are from the 'relevant department'... Cat!"
The black cat shook his head vigorously and broke his neck away from the boy's hand.
Then it turned back, glanced at Zheng Qing, with an expression of disdain and surprise on its face, and said meaningfully: "I only work on the periphery of the 'relevant departments'... and you are the core asset of the 'relevant departments'"
."
Zheng Qing completely let go of his hand and his mind was in confusion.
It wasn't that Black Cat was uneasy about his last words - after he learned from his husband that he had a forbidden curse seed in his body, he had seriously thought about his relationship with the relevant departments.
To be honest, the term "core assets" is much better than the "guinea pigs", "experimental subjects" and "sliced objects" he had imagined. He can't expect more.
His confusion lies in what Black Cat said before.
Only he can bring back Zhu Si, who is trapped deep in the battlefield.
There is no doubt that this is a very dangerous thing, and it can be called a near-death thing. To go, or not to go, he is faced with a difficult choice.
choose.
Thinking of this word, the wizard subconsciously thought of the previous conversation between Black Cat and Jiang Yu, and thought of Jiang Yu's answer - as long as every choice does not violate our own beliefs, when the future comes, we will eventually gain our own forgiveness.
.
The boy breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, choosing to stay on the city wall is not only a safe choice, but also does not violate the requirements of Vice Principal Ruoyu and the leader of the divination team, and also takes into account the concerns of the 'relevant departments'. In the words of Black Cat, it is '
Accepting the path in front of you does not mean making the wrong choice'.
But if he really makes such a choice, he believes that when reality slips past a certain point in the future, he will never be able to obtain his own forgiveness.
