"His badge." Anna handed over the relic left by the old demon hunter.
There are differences between the emblem of the Demon Slayer Association, the Three-Eyed Crow emblem of the investigators, and the Eye emblem of the Night Watch. Unlike the patterns formed by stripping away their own meanings, the emblem of the Demon Slayer is more like the emblem passed down by an ancient family - complicated and simple.
,complex.
On the edge of the silver-gray circular badge, spiderweb-like hollow lines overlap and converge, converging in the middle to form the outline of an eye.
The eye pattern is the core of the emblems of the three major organizations, and the obsidian that condenses the eye represents the owner's level: Witcher.
There is also a line of tiny text engraved on the edge of the badge, which is difficult to read in dim light. It may be the last name of the old demon hunter.
belch--
A strange belching sound came from the crack under the bed.
Anna was drawn to her attention: "They are everywhere in the city...but strangely they don't attack any living beings."
"These scavengers are part of the paradise." Lu Li replied.
His feeding is not only about treating the body, but also part of the test - whether he can "befriend" the paradise in this way.
After all, the attitude of the cracked withered claw has indeed changed, and the broken claw can be seen every time it is fed, as if it is following Lu Li.
But as Anna said, the city is full of them. Even if Lu Li's feeding was effective, it would only please the Withered Claws at Xiutes University.
While continuing to wait, Lu Li asked about the principal, but Anna had never seen him or it - its office was always empty, but things would always appear or disappear out of thin air, such as parchment papers.
It's like there's an invisible figure sitting there taking care of things.
The test results came sooner than expected, and Lu Li was informed in an unexpected way: a whisper in his mind.
The whisper brought the information that Lu Li could leave the academy after passing the test, and then disappeared.
"Get out." Lu Li said.
He and Anna went to Gavel York's office, where he was indeed hiding, and he was happy to know that the young professor was the assistant who had been following Lu Li - familiar people can bring a sense of security.
Gavel York's joy soon gave way to worry. He told Lu Li that the other four people failed to pass the test. They all chose to play evil spirits to answer the question, which was obviously not the correct answer.
But next time they take the test, they should know how to write the correct answer.
So do they.
"Are you leaving now?" When he learned that Lu Li was planning to leave, Gavel York became uneasy again: "How is this assistant lady going to leave?"
"Resign." Anna replied.
A simple, but easily overlooked answer.
Gavel York said hurriedly: "Can I come with you! I mean go resign and go outside..."
"Can."
Lu Li gave the same short answer, blocking out the rest of Gavel York's words.
The grateful Gavel York volunteered to write Anna's resignation letter and followed Lu Li to the principal's office.
Lu Li and Gavel York stayed outside the door, while Anna entered the office, silently walked across the burgundy carpet, placed the two letters on the desk, and retreated to the corridor.
Click——
As the door closed, a whisper sounded in the hearts of Anna and Gavel York: the principal agreed to their resignation.
Anna suppressed her curiosity and opened the door, told Lu Li what had just happened, and left the corridor together.
Returning to the garden fountain, Gavel York's tense body relaxed and he was visibly relieved.
He thought he would encounter many obstacles when he came out, such as the mysterious people who were chasing them——
But trouble does exist, and the nervous Gavel York accidentally arouses two strange covetous ones.
Lu Li and Anna looked at each other and walked towards the side of the college with the confused Gavel York. The two weirdos who doubted them followed behind and also disappeared around the corner.
Not long after, amid a strange and faint chewing sound, the figures of Lu Li and Anna reappeared, followed by Gavel York, who was almost stunned.
Before leaving Xiutes University, Lu Li asked Gavel York to call the other four people and tell them that he was leaving.
They were as uneasy as Gavel York when they heard the news. Lu Li then told them to look for the window with crow graffiti after they went out, which barely calmed their emotions.
An accident occurred during this period - Lu Li found another human who did not exist in the upside-down city above his head. He was full of suspicion and wary of Lu Li and others, but he could not imagine the reason why seven monsters joined forces to deceive him.
Maybe all the survivors in the college are here. How to convince him to let down his guard and leave it to the other four people? Lu Lianna and the others will leave Xitus University directly.
…
The dark and damp streets, with people coming and going.
The weak light emitted by the decorative street lamps cannot even pass through the lampshade, and the faint light spots like stars stretch on the street.
After gaining free status, they do not have to follow the restrictions on their identity and can move freely in the "paradise".
Gavel York followed Lu Li and Anna, trying his best to look like a "normal person", just like the two guys in front.
The assistant girl held Lu Li's arm, as close as a couple in love. If they aroused suspicion, it must be because of the suspicion of "can weird and weird people have feelings?" and not anything else.
Halfway across the street, they saw a crow mark drawn with charcoal on a second-floor window.
The sleepy waiter behind the counter was unaware of their entry. When they walked to the door of the second floor room, they heard faint breathing coming from behind the door.
Someone is inside.
Squeak——
When they opened the door, a nervous middle-aged man stood beside a wooden chair and looked at them. He was visibly relieved when he saw Lu Li.
"Jiminy Reid, exorcist." After the door closed, the middle-aged man introduced himself in a low voice. "Are you the remaining survivors found by Mr. Lu Li?"
"Uh, yes, my name is Gavel York, professor of history at the University of Juts..."
"I am his wife."
Gavier York and Anna answered at the same time.
Lu Li tilted his head slightly, and Anna held his arm tightly tightly, her eyes even more curved: "But the wedding hasn't happened yet."
"I know you, Sir Lu Li took the risk to come to the Royal City to find her lover." Jiminy Reid showed his kindness, although Lu Li did not mention Anna to him. But as an adult, he knows how to quickly
Be part of a small team.
And this kind of thing is difficult for Lu Li to correct - because he doesn't like to talk too much, and because he entered the royal city just to find Anna.
Lu Li did not look at Anna, but he could clearly feel the burning love coming from beside him, which seemed to melt him.
