Chapter Eleven: Dan Hag

 There is an asterisk before the last question on the survey form, which means it is a required question.

'Do you agree to go to Denhag if necessary and contribute your share for equality and justice?'

'whether'

Zheng Qing bit the penholder, hesitated for a moment, and quickly checked 'yes'.

Danhag is the seat of the Supreme Court of the Umbrella Union. In the common language of the wizarding world, it is often used to refer to the Supreme Court. Just like the wizards also use 'Phuket Island' to refer to the First University and 'Mariana'

Refers to the long-sleeping Siren King.

As for the hidden meaning of the last question, the old school worker next to me also mentioned it not long ago - the testimony of eyewitnesses can be used as evidence before the Supreme Court.

The young public-funded students were not particularly clear about the concept of giving evidence in court, and they did not pay special attention to this check box.

He simply chose the 'right' option from a moral perspective based on his own will.

In comparison, he is more concerned about another issue.

"What will happen to my headache?" When returning the 'Special Talent Level Form', Zheng Qing looked at the professor with some embarrassment and asked in a low voice: "Do all the witnesses have headaches? How do they usually solve it?

"

"This is a more complicated problem." Old Yao bit his pipe and his voice seemed a little unclear: "Being a witness just means that your mind force field is shrinking in an irregular cycle and your spirit is in a sub-healthy state. But

It does not mean that you will definitely have a headache...it may also be drowsiness, mania, or other side effects."

"Headache is just a side effect, don't worry. This is the First University. We have dealt with not a thousand but eight hundred cases of similar symptoms."

Zheng Qing forced a smile.

Seemingly aware of the young wizard's uneasiness, the old school worker next to him said, "Before you woke up, Dean Yao and I had already discussed several safer ideas..."

"But it's not certain yet." Lao Yao interrupted the old school worker and raised his voice slightly: "I will meet with Professor Yi later to further screen these ideas. After all, he is a professional fortune teller and is more knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

If you have experience... you can go back to the dormitory first... Well, I will talk to you about the follow-up treatment issues during the regular meeting this weekend at the latest."

Zheng Qing became slightly excited and nodded quickly.

"Don't leave in a hurry yet." The old school worker took out a bunch of paper from his robe and waved it in front of Zheng Qing: "If you don't mind, you can describe the scene you just saw... The school working committee is very

Willing to do a simple backup."

The pipe at the corner of Lao Yao's mouth curled up, but in the end he did not stop it and just blew out a large stream of blue smoke.

Zheng Qing's shoulders slumped weakly.

"Are there any more, sir?" His tone was slightly rude: "I mean, if there are other forms, I can fill them out in one go."

"This is the last one." The old school worker smiled and knocked on the professor's desk: "And you don't need to fill it out, you just need to answer my questions."

Zheng Qing seemed to be aware of his rudeness just now, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

A green peacock feather quill jumped out of the pen holder and landed happily on the blank paper, with its tail twisting coquettishly.

Lao Yao shook his head, leaned back slightly, and folded his arms.

Across the large desk, Zheng Qing could only see streams of green smoke coming out of the pipe and piling up on top of his head, as if he was wearing a deformed straw hat.

"It's time to start." The old school worker twitched the corner of his mouth and tried to show a kind smile: "Don't worry, just say whatever comes to mind... We will not have any harsh requirements for untrained 'witnesses'...

…I remember you mentioned before that the dream was related to school safety? Can you recall when it happened?”

"It should be at night, there is a moon." Zheng Qing frowned and slowly began to recall the remaining broken fragments in his mind.

"Can you recall where it happened?"

"I remember that the environment in the dream was very humid and there was the sound of water... maybe it was near Linzhong Lake?"

"Where are the relevant characters? Any figure or image in my impression will do."

Zheng Qing's eyes gradually widened: "Cat!... There is a little white cat... a little white cat! I remembered it!"

He stood up in panic, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted: "It's the little kitten that died by Linzhong Lake, the kitten adopted by Jiang Yu... the kitten whose eyes were gouged out!"

Old Yao and the gray-robed school janitor exchanged vague glances without interrupting Zheng Qing's description.

"I remember it was playing by the lake...and then I fell? No...it felt very cold, as if a cold wind was freezing my insides..."

"Then it died...but I remember that its eyes were not gouged out."

Zheng Qing twisted his fingers together, murmured, and walked around the office uneasily, trying his best to recall the previous dream.

But the more I think about it, the more blank my mind becomes:

"...Hey, it's strange, I still remember it very clearly just now..."

"There should be a witch? No... maybe a wizard... very white... very white?"

He hammered his head hard, but couldn't get anything useful out of it.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." The professor held the pipe in his hand and comforted him repeatedly: "This information is already sufficient..."

"Am I useless?" Zheng Qing's voice sounded very frustrated: "The facts that are clearly within my reach... were thrown away by me in Java."

"As a newcomer, your performance is very good." Lao Yao comforted gently: "This is your first real contact with the 'witness scene', so it is inevitable that you are not used to it... Newcomers are like this. In fact, it is

It’s because our brain can easily distinguish between dreams and reality, so it casually erases memories that seem illusory.”

"When you get used to 'witnessing the scene', it may bring us more effective information."





When Zheng Qing followed Lao Yao out of the office, he was still struggling with what happened not long ago.

His mind was in a mess. He thought of the cute kitten for a while, Jiang Yu with red eyes for a while, and then Irina and that skirt.

He shook his head vigorously and gathered his thoughts back together.

The terms eyewitness and witnessing scene mentioned by the professor tonight, if you think about it carefully, there have been some clues before.

Since he was very young, he often has a sense of déjà vu when doing something, as if he has done these things before. The almighty Baidu told him that this situation is called 'déjà vu', and many people have it.

It was a normal feeling. Therefore, he did not explore it.

Now that I think about it carefully, this feeling may be that I have witnessed a scene before and experienced it again, so I feel familiar.

"Take your copper coins." Old Yao suddenly turned around and warned: "For other people, maybe it is just a medium that can be replaced at any time. But for you fortune tellers with special talents

, every medium is very precious... Maybe after you throw away this medium, you will never be able to find a replacement."

Zheng Qing clutched the coins tightly and nodded nervously.

Maybe he should go back and find a strong red rope and hang it around his neck, he thought to himself.

"Don't be too nervous. Sometimes the more you pay attention, the easier it is to lose things. This is a very common paradox in the magic world." Old Yao patted his head, laughed, and said goodbye to the young wizard at the door of the office building.

Zheng Qing rubbed his head, and the dead kitten suddenly appeared in his mind. The smile on his lips quickly disappeared, and he slowly walked back to the dormitory with a frown on his face.
