"However, the professor rejected my request."
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked into the distance. In the evening, the sun had already set behind the office building, and the whole sky was exuding a hazy atmosphere: "Not only did he reject my application, he also suggested that I give up this unrealistic idea. Professor Yi
He said, if I don’t want to spend the rest of the semester lying in the school hospital, I shouldn’t do such a dangerous thing. This is not something that little wizards like us who haven’t graduated yet can spy on... In addition, he asked me to be careful.
Take a look at the school."
"Observe the school?"
Zheng Qing subconsciously looked around - it was dinner time now, students who had not yet eaten were walking in a hurry, students who had finished their meal were walking around giving alms, squirrels with bulging cheeks were squatting on the branches, and skinny grass sperm were hiding behind the bushes.
, the sun was setting, and the sky was like a piece of cake with marmalade, exuding a lazy and comfortable smell - in this peace, he did not find anything unusual: "...What to observe? Where to observe? What is worth observing in the school?
of?"
"Nothing worth observing."
Xiao Xiao raised a finger and waved it in front of Zheng Qing's eyes: "This is what I suddenly realized when I saw the three witches who were chatting with you just now when I was eating... There is really nothing worth observing.
So even three witches chatting up a wizard would be interesting..."
"The biggest abnormality is the absence of abnormality?" Zheng Qing stroked the black gem cat and murmured, somewhat realizing the doctor's unfinished intention.
Xiao Xiao sighed softly: "More than a month has passed since this semester. Don't you think the campus is particularly peaceful this year? Well, let me emphasize, I mean 'First University', not 'you'..."
The First University has four colleges, of course, now there are five, and two of these colleges are close enemies. In the past, there would be several conflicts with Alpha students every ninth day, but during this time, everyone was quiet.
...and the Silent Forest. If you remember the scale of the silent wave last year, you should realize how weak this year's silent wave is."
"Isn't the hunting team of the wizard from the North District abnormal?"
Zheng Qing frowned, and his mind quickly searched for the major and minor accidents that had occurred in the recent period: "And last week on the Forbidden Demon Day, the sandbox trap in the North District, and the huge green snake..."
Xiao Xiao glanced at him with a strange expression.
Zheng Qing coughed dryly.
"All anomalies converge on the crow."
Xiao Xiao summarized his point of view in one sentence, and his voice became softer: "And the anomalies that have nothing to do with crows have almost disappeared."
What a fortune teller is best at is peeling off the cocoons, extracting the most valuable clues from the seemingly inconspicuous things in daily life, and then weaving them into a result.
Zheng Qing knew this truth and believed in the doctor's judgment.
The two of them were silent and walked slowly towards the dormitory.
"Give me an inappropriate example."
Xiao Xiao considered and slowed down his speech, as if to match his pace: "When a dangerous fire dragon shuttles through the silent forest, every jungle it passes will become extremely quiet, because any commotion may attract the dragon.
The baptism of fire. This kind of silence is like a wrestling match. The two wrestlers don't necessarily want to throw each other to the ground, but they never want to be crushed under them... You can imagine the huge whirlpool at the center of the storm.
, constantly swallowing up the commotion from all directions, everyone wants to find the power outside the whirlpool so that they can get out. No one wants to be involved in the whirlpool at this time. Except you. Whether you like it or not, you have been involved.
Into a whirlpool."
Zheng Qing smiled very reluctantly.
"You are not an example."
He joked half-jokingly. Seeing Xiao Xiao's expressionless face, he stopped smiling, took a deep breath, and muttered: "I did not make a sound, but I kept shining... There is nothing I can do about it."
Covered luminescence... Can you imagine a glowing thing in a dark forest? It would be hard not to be noticed by the fire dragon."
He was using Xiao Xiao's first example to describe his situation.
The fortune teller of the Forgiveness Hunting Team frowned.
"The color of the stars." He replied simply and concisely.
"What?" Zheng Qing didn't understand what the doctor meant.
"The Star Color, a magical creature from the depths of the universe. When it moves, it looks like a shimmering, amorphous mass of color flowing around."
Xiao Xiao explained patiently: "Under normal circumstances, it looks harmless to humans and animals, but when it is looking for food, it can easily drain all the life force within a radius of twenty miles... I remember you were in the black prison
Anyone who has seen it have no impression?"
"What does this have to do with what we are talking about?"
"Didn't you ask me to imagine a ball of brilliant things? The color of stars couldn't be more suitable. You must become the color of stars." As if aware of Zheng Qing's confusion, Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and asked Zheng Qing.
One question: "Do you know why powerful giants became an endangered species?"
"Why?"
Zheng Qing unconsciously felt a little weak - from the beginning, every word the doctor said seemed to be jumping around, making it difficult for people to keep up with the rhythm of the conversation with him. This made Zheng Qing feel stupid inexplicably.
"Because their performance does not match their value, they are endangered."
Xiao Xiao's tone was very serious: "As humans who are born to be very powerful, they are content with barbarism and ignorance, content with wrestling with fire dragons, content with wearing animal skins and wielding wooden sticks to fight... This is the greatest challenge to human wisdom.
blasphemy. The same goes for you. If you fail to show abilities consistent with your identity, you will eventually be swallowed by the maelstrom."
"I don't want to either..." Zheng Qing didn't know why the topic suddenly became so serious. He obviously just wanted to discuss things related to crows.
Xiao Xiao stopped again and looked at Zheng Qing seriously.
"I saw a sentence in a book a few days ago." He patted the black notebook hanging on his waist without opening it. Apparently he had memorized the sentence very skillfully: "When life gives you a lemon,
Don’t eat it with a frown, squeeze it into lemon juice. Turn the sourness and bitterness that life brings you like lemon into the sweetness of lemonade.”
Zheng Qingxu looked at his fortune teller.
He felt that Xiao Xiao's speech was becoming more and more like an orthodox fortune teller.
"This chicken soup tastes great, but it's useless. I have high purine levels and am already past the age where I like to drink broth."
Zheng Qing remembered the fortune teller's reminder, but he looked calm and calm on the surface: "But your attitude also reminds me of a sentence... Human beings are like this. They prefer to comfort others rather than being comforted by others. It seems like this
You can gain some psychological advantages - I am a person who will graduate in a few months, do I need you, a current student, to tell me how to eat lemons?"
