Hunting High School

The study door was slowly pushed open with a 'squeak'.

A gust of fresh wind passed through the hall, sweeping away the remaining scorched smell in the room.

The curtains hanging in front of the window shook slightly.

'Squeak', the door of the study was closed again, leaving the uneasy breath outside the door.

The old servant Constantine walked into the study slowly with a delicate silver tea set.

After serving hot sweet tea to the two guests, he finally couldn't help sniffling.

"Young Master." He glanced at the doctor suspiciously, but hesitated to speak.

"It's okay." Dr. Duzem shook his hand comfortingly, indicating that he can back down.

The old servant hesitated for a moment, and after saluting respectfully, he left.

The young red-robed wizards were still immersed in the shock brought by the flame just now.

In order to survive, an insect that can molted into a piece of dry skin went through untold hardships, but was finally engulfed in a sea of ​​fire on the day of resurrection.

This feeling of helplessness makes people feel an inexplicable sadness.

Zheng Qing took a sip of tea, the rich sweet aroma and hot taste made him gasp slightly.

"So, as you can see at the end, although scarabs like dryness and sunshine, they are most afraid of fire. I have to say, this is a huge paradox." The doctor slightly stirred the water in the bowl with a glass rod Can Ash concluded in a strange tone: "However, the wizarding world is always full of paradoxes... or contradictions."

"Thank you very much for your teaching." Jiang Yu put down his teacup and nodded slightly in thanks.

"You're welcome, I think you will use this knowledge sooner or later." The doctor twitched the corners of his mouth, with a satisfied smile on his face: "My little cuties..."

As he spoke, he tapped the heavy fish tank by the wall with a glass rod.

The corpse-eating beetles that had clung to the skull and fled in all directions amidst the crisp knocking sound, burrowed into the gap deeper in the fish tank. But in that small space, the effort was apparently fruitless.

"They told me that a group of unexpected guests came to the school."

"Uninvited guest?" Zheng Qing wondered.

"A group?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Each group of carnivorous beetles has a very strong concept of territory." Dr. Duzem put down the glass rod, opened his arms, and gestured: "In this range, any foreign invaders will make them feel uneasy... just like now so."

Zheng Qing turned his head and looked carefully at the glass fish tank.

Alarmed by the noise before, the fleeing corpse-eating beetles formed a group again and lay on the skull.

"If they just come out of Silent Forest and pass by the campus to hunt wild food, they won't be so nervous." Dr. Duzem lowered his arms and looked at the insects solemnly: "It can make these natural predators feel uneasy, hold them Those trembling in groups can only be intruders from outside the island."

"An intruder from outside the island." Zheng Qing licked his lips and asked hesitantly, "Could it be a demon?"

"Demon?" The doctor shook his head again and again, apologizing: "Maybe I didn't explain clearly just now. For corpse beetles, any living thing is food...except for themselves. So no matter the great wizard, the siren king, or others Any weird creatures will only arouse their appetite."

"The intruders in their eyes will only be the same species of carrion beetles." The doctor concluded.

"Are these bugs picky eaters?" Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "For example, they only eat the eyeballs of animals."

Zheng Qing glanced at her carefully, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"No." The doctor resolutely denied this possibility: "For these bugs, except for the bones, all other parts of the organism are edible."

"Is there any creature that kills an animal and removes its eyeball?" Zheng Qing added: "Is there such an animal on the island, such as in the school laboratory, or in the depths of the silent forest?"

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and glanced at him gratefully.

"There are indeed very few creatures with this special habit." Dr. Duzem was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "To be precise, there is only one kind that I know, 'Horus', a group of people who gave up for power The fallen wizards of normal life are different even among the monsters. Because they have been staring at the darkness all year round, they have lost their eyesight, so they can only regain light by devouring the eyeballs of animals. Horus likes the spiritual eyeballs the most. Eyeballs are the best, and if you don’t have them, the eyeballs of small spiritual animals like black cats, white foxes, and yellow dogs are also good choices.”

Zheng Qing listened silently, he felt that he had a stronger and stronger mental resistance to these weird creatures.

At least not easily creepy anymore.

"Is there such a creature in the school?" Zheng Qing asked, looking at Jiang Yu uneasily.

"School?" The doctor's lips twisted, showing a sneering smile: "Those old people who hold tradition as the golden rule, how could they allow this kind of dirty creature to leave a breath in the campus. Even if it is a black prison, There will be no figures of these fallen people... For the wizards of the school, the only destination for such monsters is nothingness."

"Is there any other possibility?" Jiang Yu asked: "It is a creature that specializes in removing eyeballs."

"Of course." Dr. Duzem blinked: "Wizards are creatures that specialize in plucking eyeballs...they like to gouge out the eyes of monsters in the laboratory."

Zheng Qing smiled dryly.

He felt that the doctor was really not suitable for telling jokes.

"Speaking of which." The doctor looked at the two young men in front of him seriously: "If you encounter a large group of scarabs in the not-too-distant future, it will be difficult to escape their pursuit by simply running away. At this time, flames are more powerful than any spell." More effective."

Jiang Yu sighed slightly and did not continue speaking.

There was a strange silence in the study for a while.

Zheng Qing could only hear the sound of the clock ticking.

He followed the prestige and saw a wall clock with a dark wooden case embedded in the wall on one side of the study.

Under the silver-white dial, the brass pendulum sways unhurriedly from side to side according to the rhythm of own, and the sound of the swinging sound of clicking is precise and mechanical.

Nothing seemed to stop its movements.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

Whether it was the dehydrated beetle that turned into ashes, or the later "Horus" that specialized in eating eyeballs, these terrifying creatures originally made Zheng Qingting's heart tremble, but he couldn't help but hear the continuous bell in his ears. ring.

He was really taken aback.

"Oh! Oops." Dr. Duzem exclaimed angrily from behind: "It's time!"

Zheng Qing looked at the wall clock again, just in time to see a big rooster with a blue crest emerging from the cabin on the top of the wall clock, and just flapped its wings a few times.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat, doctor!" The rooster finished flapping its wings, opened its mouth, and began to howl: "It's time to eat at twelve o'clock! Doctor, it's time to eat!"

"Shut up, you idiot!" Dr. Duzem rarely showed a bit of embarrassment.

He grabbed a piece of paper from the messy desk, crumpled it casually, rolled it into a ball, and threw it at the rooster on the wall.

The ball of paper hit the chicken's head precisely.

The rooster groaned, and shuffled back into the cabin on top of the clock.
