10. Remember once

"Um."

Sounds made only from the nasal cavity will not carry strange onomatopoeia.

"I don't mean any harm, I just...just want to..." Fudette pulled at the wrinkled skirt and couldn't continue.

After finishing his lunch, Lu Li put down his knife and fork and left silently.

Fuduo looked at Lu Li's back, not hiding her regrets and remorse.

"Even I can tell that Lu Li is angry with you." He raised his dirty face from the rice bowl.

"If there's no other way, shut that mouth that eats filth!" Fudette vented her accumulated emotions.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Fodort's companion called her attention, shook her spaghetti-like hair from her forehead, and suggested, "Lins, you can give a gift to Mr. Exorcist."

"Gift?"

"How about a bucket of pumpkin pie?" Dogmeat said vaguely.

"He's not you!"

Fudot restrained herself from tearing his disgusting mouth apart and thought about the things Lu Li liked.

But trying to please others was painful and torturous for the youngest daughter of the Linsi family. Fortunately, she had other ways to ease Lu Li's mood.

Just bring back the book Lu Li needs.



In the lounge, Lu Li opened the curtains and opened the window.

Noon is the time of day when it only makes sense to open the windows.

It was as if the darkness before dawn shrouded the Midnight City as silent as midnight. The top of the Alchemy Tower shone brighter than the stars. And you could see the light stretching at the foot of the giant tree and on the streets a little further away, slowly moving

Tiny shimmer.

Like a group of fireflies gathering under a big tree.

The linen shorts hanging on the hanger were already dry. Lu Li called the businessman Anthony, folded the washed shorts and handed them to him: "Give them back to Claire, meow."

"Can't find her."

In addition to having no fighting ability, merchants are almost one of the fastest ethnic groups in the other world. It takes them less than an hour to travel thousands of miles from the southernmost point of the Main Continent to the northernmost point of the Lennon Islands. Although there are restrictions: they can only reach the existence

Where the eyes are.

In the old days, due to the cooperation between exorcists and merchants, there were eyeball strongholds everywhere. Even every exorcist carrying an eyeball was a new coordinate...

But now, there are only a few rays of light in the Land of Light, the Midnight City, and the Ice-free Port of Verna.

Placing more coordinates is equally important as finding new merchants.

The more merchants there are, the faster supplies can be delivered, and the more they can meet the daily shortage in the underground shelter area of ​​​​Vina's ice-free port.

The fewer people die...

"Then send it to the senior alchemy office... Meow."

Lu Li overcame the side effects, but unexpectedly failed again.

The businessman Anthony put on his shorts and disappeared. Lu Li sat at the desk in front of the window and turned to the bookmarked "Occult Insights" in front of the dark scenery.

The side effects caused by alienating agents are not all bad.

The frequent visits and greetings from students and professors made Lu Li's time fragmented. Except for sleeping, there was almost no coherent and uninterrupted time.

Now Lu Li can focus more energy and attention on the original purpose of this trip: learning to release the power of the cursed title.

The requirements for releasing the power of the cursed title are to be promoted to middle grade and to meet prerequisites for learning.

The former is not difficult, and you can advance as long as you accumulate enough credits. It takes 10 credits to advance from a lower grade to an intermediate grade. After you meet the requirements, you can choose to continue accumulating credits or advance normally.

Continuing to accumulate credits means hitting the merit promotion and seed promotion. They correspond to accumulating 15 credits and 20 credits respectively, and what they represent is more resource tilt and opportunities.

But this has nothing to do with Lu Li. His goal has never been to successfully graduate from Jushu Academy.

The first three major courses will earn 2 credits for each level, while the elective courses will earn only 1 credit.

In addition to the regular credits earned, some excellent and dazzling performances can also be rewarded with credits. However, the lower grades located in the canopy area are safe enough, and lower grade students have almost no opportunities to earn extra credits.

Maybe only when an incident like the evil spirit entangled into the giant tree two days ago occurs, saving many classmates or expelling and destroying the evil spirits will earn extra credits.

Occult science; alchemy; botanical science; divination science, strange knowledge, and otherworldly science.

These are the four major courses and two elective courses chosen by Lu Li.

All of them will be promoted to meet the 10 credits required for middle grade. At the same time, they will be closer to the prerequisites for learning [Release the Curse Title]: Level 7 of Mystery Course, Level 3 of Alchemy, Level 2 of Underworld Learning, and Level 2 of Weird Knowledge.

Level 2 in Botany and Level 1 in Divination.

There is good news and bad news about this arrangement.

The good news is that the assessment for promotion to level 1 is mainly theoretical and will not test practice. Lu Li only needs to fill his mind with this knowledge, and even spare some energy to study level 2 courses in advance.

The bad news is that the schedules of the four major courses conflict with each other, so Lu Li needs to make a choice.

After two days of uninterrupted study due to the side effects of the alienation medicine, the fastest progress was in the study of strange knowledge, followed by the study of the otherworld because Lu Li understood them well enough.

Learning [Releasing Cursed Titles] requires the highest level of occultism. However, Lu Li's progress was slow because he didn't know enough about the strange era.

Despite this, he is still the fastest learning among the freshmen.

In the afternoon weird knowledge class, the old professor brought new weird things that were only contained in iron cages.

It looks like a mole or an anteater, with a slender protruding snout not covered by pitch-black hair that comes out of the cage to sniff.

"Does anyone know its name?"

The old professor waited for students to ask questions as usual.

"Doesn't anyone know? What a shame... Mimic. That's what the people in the old sewers call it."

"Human?" A student muttered in surprise.

"Don't miss the word mimesis, Mr. Vincent."

The old professor didn't pay attention to the students' mumblings. His face gradually drooped, and his wrinkled and furrowed face became darker under the oil lamp.

"When the mimic reaches maturity, it will find humans and ask, 'Do I look like a human?' If you answer that I don't look like a human, it will lose the power to change, but if you answer like..."

The cold and deep old voice said slowly.

"It will become like us..."

The classroom fell into silence, and even the new students were frightened by him.

The old professor suddenly raised his head and regained his kindness: "Don't be careful, it won't replace us. Their mimicry skills are so poor that they can only become like us but not very similar... Well, you can understand that they grow up strangely.

People. If you encounter a strange person, maybe it is a mimic."

"Don't underestimate this change. For weak scavengers like mimics, becoming a human is a leap in life level..."

"Who knows? Maybe there are mimics who have turned into other weird things, but we haven't discovered it yet. I sincerely hope that there will be new discoveries among you..."

After answering the students' curious questions one after another, the old professor recited "Weird, Dangerous and Wonderful" as usual, took the cage and left the classroom.

In the classroom that became lively due to the end of get out of class, Fudot, who had disappeared for the whole class, appeared in front of Lu Li who was about to leave.

"I got the book, The Exorcist."
