The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 17: Firefly Glow

After Li and Lilith came to the magic academy, one worked as a security guard and the other worked as a cafeteria lady.

These two people seemed to have completely ignored the mission.

After waiting for a few days, the good-tempered Amber finally couldn't stand it anymore and called Li and Lilith to the office.

The office of the dean of the magic academy.

Two huge solid wooden doors were placed close together, with a mysterious magical power flowing on them, preventing any magical spying.

Inside the office, Amber threw a stack of documents in front of Li.

"Take a look. Recently, there have been abnormal signs inside and outside the academy. If you are any slower, I won't be able to hide it!"

Li took the report and saw that it was filled with various contents.

"More than twenty sparrows died under the big tree behind the library..."

"Someone found an unearthed grave in the cemetery in the next town..."

"There are strange noises coming from the sewer in the dormitory area?"

Li flipped through the pages, marveling at them.

I believe that it won’t be long before this campus legend becomes popular within the magic academy.

"Do you think this is funny? These are just the information reported by students. There are also some that cannot be reported. Take a look at them too!"

Amber threw over some more documents, which were very formal and had magical symbols on them.

The Magic Academy has its own law enforcement team. After they investigate dangerous information, they will report it to their superiors in an encrypted manner.

The file Li got was the version after Amber was decrypted.

"There are skeletons and zombies moving around in the mass grave, and a gravekeeper has been killed..."

"Piranhas appeared in the ditch next to the magic academy..."

These minor problems have been dealt with by someone, but the Magic Academy has no idea who is behind these problems.

Li scratched his head with his hand. He knew that if he continued to be careless, it would definitely cause Amber's dissatisfaction.

In that case, let's be a little more serious.

"Let's take action tonight and catch a few tongues first~"

Seeing Li at ease, Amber felt suspicious.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Li seems like an egomaniac, and Amber feels like she has entrusted her work to the wrong person.

"Hey, Auntie, what are you looking at me like? I've been doing my job well these past few days."

"Yes, yes, you used your identity as a security guard to wander around the academy and look at young girls' thighs, right?"

"Ahem~ That's force majeure."

In the office, Li was joking with the dean.

In the basement of the magic academy, the girl who was bullied at school was also having a meeting with a group of masked men.

The girl, who had stopped communicating with Lilith after being humiliated in the cafeteria, sought refuge in the fetid sewer.

There is a platform in the sewer, next to which is dirty water that smells bad, but the platform is kept very clean.

Several sofas and chairs make the platform look like a living room. There are also magic lights installed overhead, and the light blue light illuminates the cracks in the mossy walls.

“…the lonely live in the mountains, hearing the sound of wind and rain, the desolate live by the lake, surrounded by flowers, birds, fish and insects.”

"Dark walkers walk in the dark land, brothers and sisters help each other, and comfort my heart."

"We are the glimmer of light, illuminating each other's darkness!"

A group of mysterious people wearing black robes and black moon masks were chanting incomprehensible lyrics in the sewer of the magic academy.

These people seem very immature, but for them, this group formed in the sewer is their last comfort.

After the prayer, the people took off their masks, sat back on the sofa and shared the food they brought.

The girl that Lilith wanted to help was sitting among them. On the low table in front of her were cakes and snacks, as well as milk tea and desserts sold at Lilith's stall.

God knows how these young people can eat with relish under such harsh conditions.

"Xiao Li, I heard that the lady serving food in the cafeteria wanted to help you. Why did you refuse?"

The male student with scars on his face asked the girl who was eating silently.

Everyone formed this mutual aid organization in the sewer in order to find spiritual comfort.

For students with family support, the magic academy is a springboard for realizing their life value.

But for these excluded students, every day is a nightmare.

No one paid attention to them, even the goddess abandoned these poor people.

"I already have you guys, I don't need someone out of nowhere to help me!"

When the girl named Xiaoli heard someone accusing her, she quickly stood up to refute.

In Xiaoli's view, it was these brothers and sisters hiding in the sewers who provided her with help and warmth after she suffered those injustices.

As for that hypocritical woman, Xiaoli didn't care at all.

Xiaoli didn't take Lilith's help to heart at all. She had seen many people like this.

They say they sympathize with their plight, but the actual help they provide them is minimal.

Compared to working in that shabby canteen, Xiaoli would rather seek peace in this sewer with like-minded companions.

Seeing that Xiaoli fully identified with the small organization in the dark, others were not happy.

Xiaoli did suffer from exclusion and bullying, but the suffering she endured was too little.

Compared with others who have been tortured for a longer time, Xiaoli's emotions are obviously too immature.

"We can all see that the man in the cafeteria really wants to help you."

Xiaoli's companions wanted to persuade her again. After all, it was not always possible to get help and escape from suffering.

"I don't want it! Our mutual aid association can save ourselves. As long as we become stronger, those people won't dare to bully us anymore!"

On the small bookshelf on one side of the platform, there are many epic poems and biographies.

The contents of most of these books are stories about heroes who were born into common families, saved the world, and then founded their own sects.

Ever since Xiaoli found comfort in this mutual aid group, she has been longing for these legends.

Xiaoli is looking forward to the day when she becomes strong, slaps the faces of all the students who have bullied her, and then tramples the bad guys under her feet.

Seeing Xiaoli so excited, the others smiled politely and then stopped talking.

Everyone knows very well that these stories are just reading materials, and the reality is much more cruel than these stories.

"What's wrong with you! Brothers and sisters, this was not the case when you first accepted me. As long as we work together, we will surely create a miracle!"

Xiaoli felt the discouragement coming from her companions, and she was very dissatisfied with it.

It was these companions who brought Xiaoli hope. Why did they give up now?

Xiaoli didn't understand and felt anxious about it.

"Okay Xiaoli, we can't disappear for too long, let's go back to our dormitories."

Seeing that Xiaoli was still stubborn, the atmosphere of the mutual aid association was in a mess.

After everyone finished eating and comforted each other, they left the sewer area through a secret route.

Xiaoli felt indignant as she watched the show end inexplicably, leaving her alone.

"You guys have no ambition. We clearly agreed to work hard together. Since you won't work hard, then I'll do it!"

When Xiaoli left the sewer, she took another route.

After seeing the light, Xiaoli used magic to dispel the dirty and smelly smell on her body.

Then, Xiaoli walked towards the bright door.

"Teacher, here I come, please help me achieve my goal!"
