Hunting High School

Chapter 67: The Dead Cat

Although the morning fog has cleared, the late summer air is still very humid.

The sun did not come out, so there was a bit of chill in the air.

Zheng Qing walked in the somewhat empty campus, tightening his robe, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In Linshang, which is usually crowded with people between classes, now there are only three cats and two dogs—real cats and dogs—walking around to digest food and do morning exercises. On the deciduous sycamore trees on both sides of the road, the birds have already squinted their eyes and started to prepare for their lunch break.

As for the real masters of this campus, those students, most of them are probably still having cordial and friendly meetings with Zhou Gong in bed.

Zheng Qing walked in this empty campus feeling sorry for him, feeling that there is no essential difference between a wizard and Bai Ding.

But when he approached Linzhong Lake, he found that the situation was completely different from other places.

A large group of people's heads were piled up in black beside the rockery by the lake, lively but eerily quiet.

He remembered Xiao Xiao's advice before he left, and walked a few steps to the outside of the crowd.

"What happened?" He grabbed a Jamaican with dreadlocks outside and asked, "Why is it so lively, does it have something to do with the fireworks at Linzhong Lake last night?"

"Fireworks?" The Jamaican raised his eyebrows, looked him up and down, and said with a bit of surprise on his face: "It's a freshman."

It was only then that Zheng Qing noticed that the student in front of him had a black border on his robe.

"Hello senior." He smiled nervously, and poked his head into the crowd curiously: "Did someone fall into the lake?"

"Death's breath." The senior shook his head, his tone was quite dignified: "It's a kitten, it was killed."

Zheng Qing frowned, feeling that things were a little strange.

For wizards, small animals with Spiritual Qi have always been very favored.

Wizards may not have wizard friends, but they must have pet friends.

Wizards have many taboos about cats, foxes and other small animals with abnormal spirituality. They would rather keep them, respect them, and even avoid them after encountering them, and would not wantonly kill them.

Therefore, no matter from which point of view, a kitten dying on campus is not a good thing for wizards.

"The cat's body is inside?" He tiptoed, trying to raise his gaze, but unfortunately, the effect was extremely limited: "Why didn't the school take it away?"

"I also find it strange, although the school working committee is closed on Saturdays and Sundays." The senior scratched his head helplessly: "But this shouldn't be the reason why they didn't clean up the corpse. It stands to reason that they should have discovered it last night. This murder... You just mentioned last night's 'fireworks', which are the signals used by the wizarding patrol to communicate, which means that the patrol should have found the dead body last night."

Zheng Qing nodded silently, then raised her head in horror.

"The murder last night?" He exclaimed, pointing to Linzhong Lake, and shouted, "By this lake?"

Maybe it was because the senior felt that Zheng Qing was making a lot of fuss, so after simply nodding, he immediately left the crowd and walked towards the library.

But Zheng Qing didn't think he was making a fuss at all.

He was going to come to Zhonghu Lake to patrol in the middle of the night next week, so he casually died in his jurisdiction before he took office. This is completely irresponsible behavior!

And it's the kind of flag that's sure to go wrong.

With a bit of worry, he has been wandering around, inquiring.

Onlookers have different opinions on the cause of the kitten's death.

Some people said that the kitten was dragged down the lake by a water ghost, and then its eyes were decapitated by murloc cubs. But this claim was immediately denied.

"The whole cat is dry! Besides, if the water ghost dragged it down the lake, why did it return to the shore? It's unreasonable." The person who retorted analyzed it very methodically: "In my opinion, it should be a wild monster. The little monsters that ran out of the garden, on this campus, only those beasts can do what such beasts do."

"The monsters in the Wild Monster Garden have no guts to approach Linzhong Lake." Someone in the crowd denied this speculation: "And, how could those ignorant wild monsters kill this kitten so lightly? To be reasonable, die How many of the creatures under the wild monster's claws are intact?"

The onlookers nodded one after another.

"Maybe it's a wild monster that likes to eat eyeballs." The previous analyst was rather unconvinced: "Otherwise, who needs better reasoning?"

The crowd fell silent again.

"Why can't it be a wizard?" Zheng Qing finally seized the opportunity and looked at the others in surprise: "This kind of very methodical killing looks like a wizard's hands?"

This sentence seemed to touch some taboo, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes, as if he was the murderer who killed the kitten.

Before he could say anything, the onlookers dispersed one after another.

Before they left, they sneaked a sneaky look, which made Zheng Qing furious.

"What do you mean!" He was indignant: "I didn't kill it... What kind of attitude is this!"

But no one paid him any attention.

After all the people went to the ground, Zheng Qing finally came to the rockery and saw the kitten that was killed.

It was a white kitten with short fur, lying on the rockery with its paws in its mouth, as if it was fast asleep.

If its two eye sockets were not so dark, Zheng Qing might really think that it was just asleep.

"It's so cruel." He forgot the other onlookers in a blink of an eye, and his heart was a little heavy: "It's so cute that you can do it...it's too shameful."

A few furry tree sperm slid along the branches of the weeping willows to the rockery, poked their heads, and looked curiously at the young wizard standing by the lake and the little milk cat crawling on the stone.

A gutless man crawled out of the lake, spitting bubbles, and climbed to a higher place on the rockery. It holds a purple shrimp in its claws. On weekdays, Zheng Qing would definitely grab the food with his jaws and study carefully why there are purple shrimps.

but now.

Zheng Qing took one last look at the little white cat, sighed, and walked towards the door of the library.

This sudden accident seriously affected his mood today.

...

Zheng Qing didn't wait long at the library door.

Jiang Yu came to the appointment early at 8:50.

"It's really early for you." Jiang Yu trotted over, with his hips akimbo, head tilted, and one hand fanning the wind by his ear.

The light fragrance floated into Zheng Qing's nostrils along the breeze, making his mind wander.

"It's not even nine o'clock yet." She looked at Zheng Qing with a smile, holding a small bag on her wrist on her waist.

For the first time, Zheng Qing found that the female squad leader's smile was very comforting.

This made his originally depressed mood a little better.

"You're pretty early, too." Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time, and smiled: "It's not yet nine o'clock. You're a girl, so you can be half an hour late... This is a girl's privilege. "

"This is discrimination against girls." Jiang Yu restrained her smile and looked at him seriously: "Any behavior that treats men and women differently is discrimination."

Zheng Qing begged for mercy and raised his hands in full agreement.
