Monster Hunting High School

Wander.

Lobby.

There is still a sea of ​​joy here.

Ghosts sang lowly on the stage, showing off their trembling soul sounds; multi-armed musicians played drums and piano, wearing many hats; under the ceiling, elves drove silver-white birds back and forth, serving wine to the guests. There is also a big frog at the door. I don’t know when it comes into the place, looking at the joyful scene in front of me with a smile. If the guests give it a few bottles of wine, it will always recite a few poems at the right time to make it happy. The atmosphere on the field became more lively.

Leaving the quiet private room on the second floor and returning to the noisy hall on the first floor, Zheng Qing finally felt like he had returned to reality.

He always felt inexplicably uneasy around the wandering wizard.

As if being watched by something.

The nightclub downstairs was lively, but most of the people leaning in front of the bar and swaying on the dance floor were senior students from First University or residents of Beta Town.

Perhaps due to lack of energy, most of the freshmen in Astronomy Class 08-1 left early.

"What a waste." Zheng Qing muttered, feeling pity for them: "You can take a break and continue playing."

For him, entering a wizard's bar is a new experience, and fighting a rich man is also a new experience - all the expenses of this party are borne by squad leader Downton. Zheng Qing's heart was filled with excitement when he first discovered that there was a rich man around him. He was inexplicably excited and always wanted to implement the various policies invented by Taizu.

"Wizards need to learn moderation." Xiao Xiao warned from the side.

"Isn't it still early? Mr. Ni Wu will disappear after eleven o'clock... I think we can still hang out for a while." Zheng Qing licked his dry lips, hesitating.

It's only about eight o'clock in the evening now. If he goes back so early, Zheng Qing will definitely not forgive himself when he wakes up completely tomorrow.

But if he goes back a little later, Mr. Ni Wu is not an accommodating guy.

Mr. Ni Wu is a little bronze beast who guards the dormitory area. He has an old-fashioned character and a bad temper.

Its figures are distributed in the door niches leading to the dormitories in every corner of the school.

Although there seem to be a lot of them, they all belong to the fifth master's clones. In fact, there is only one supervisor.

In fact, Zheng Qing doubted whether this smoke-loving beast was a regular employee of First University.

Because every night at 11:30, Mr. Ni would get off work on time and disappear without a trace from the door niche where he stayed; at 5:30 the next morning, he would appear on time again to open the door for students.

This is true every day, and so is every clone.

Just like a regular employee clocking in and out.

Students who miss the access control time can only sit on the ground and show up outside the dormitory.

As for where Mr. Ni Wu went after disappearing, there are different opinions in the student circle.

Some people say that this bronze beast is still a product of alchemy and needs to replace parts and upgrade the system from time to time; if it disappears every day, it should be recalled by the Alchemy Research Institute for routine maintenance;

Some people also say that Mr. Ni is really a living being, just like ordinary people. He has to take naps every day to replenish his energy. After they disappear, they just go back to their caves to rest.

There are also some old students who swore to tell the newcomers that they once saw Mr. Ni collecting fog by the Linzhong Lake in the middle of the night.

"A large group of Mr. Ni Wu gathered in a circle to breathe mist, as if they were having a meeting. The entire Linzhong Lake was shrouded in mist... You can't imagine how many janitors there are in the school!" The old students gestured in a fuss. Such a scene, contentedly collecting the shocked eyes of the newlyweds.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing suddenly sighed: "I think Mr. Ni Wu will definitely like the environment here."

Xiao Xiao gave a rare nod in agreement.

Because now the bar is filled with all kinds of smoke.

There is the cold water mist flowing after the broken ice melts; there is the cold ghost mist etched in the air as the ghosts drift; there are also the various colors of smoke emitted by the young wizards after eating the candies, and the curls left after they tasted the cigarettes. Green smoke.

Among the group of smokers behind the bar, Zheng Qing saw a familiar figure.

Elena.

That beautiful gypsy witch.

She was holding a tall wine glass in one hand and a silver cigarette holder in the other. She was concentrating on the blue smoke rising after the cigarette burned.

Zheng Qing suddenly felt refreshed, and his originally hesitant mind suddenly settled down.

"Follow me first and help take them back!" He pointed to the multi-armed waiter at the door of the bar who was supporting two drunkards waiting for directions, and patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder amiably: "I decided to stay a little longer. ...You will never miss the time when Mr. Ni Wu closes.”

"I can give the porter a map." Xiao Xiao glanced at the figure in front of the bar, with an enigmatic smile on his face: "In case you drink too much and go the wrong way... there are some wolf guards in the girls' dormitory. Curse."

Zheng Qing's face turned red immediately. After holding it in for a long time, he squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Get away! What a mess... Why should I go to the girls' dormitory?!"

Xiao Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked extremely innocent: "Aren't you going to give it to others after drinking?... Also, where do you want me to go?"

"As long as you don't get close to the bar, you can go wherever you like." Zheng Qing dismissed him impatiently, while nervously smoothing the wrinkles on his robe, taking out the two Bagua cufflinks from the gray cloth bag, and fastened them carefully. superior.

"But, this is a bar." Xiao Xiao shrugged. This posture made him appear shorter: "I remember that the wandering wizard gave us a few bottles of wine... How can I drink if I don't go to the bar?"

"Did you do this on purpose?!" Zheng Qing's face was distorted: "When did you fall in love with drinking!"

"The wizard's thing...can it be called intentional..." Xiao smiled, opened his notebook, and showed a sophisticated expression: "It's intentional, it's intentional... Magical actions can be done at your fingertips. It’s unintentional…it can’t be called deliberate.”

Zheng Qing looked at Xiao Xiao silently.

Watched for a minute.

Watermelon Head still had a nonchalant expression.

"Starting from tomorrow, I have two thugs, the red face, the fat man, and the red stick with double flowers."

Zheng Qing squinted, stared at Xiao Xiao, and threatened word by word: "From now on, care about your butt, otherwise I will let them help you, face the earth, and the chrysanthemums will bloom."

"Got it." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, hugged his notebook, and left the bar quietly.

Zheng Qing was caught off guard by his swift and swift move.

He was planning to threaten but failed to bribe him.

I didn't expect the short man to leave so easily.

Zheng Qing looked at Xiao Xiao's back and felt a little scared in his heart.

I'm wondering if I should chase him and give him a smile.

But when he turned around and saw another Miaoman figure, the uneasiness in his heart was immediately thrown away.

"He won't draw circles and curse me in the middle of the night." He murmured in his heart, smiling broadly and walking towards the bar.
