Monster Hunting High School

Zheng Qing was holding a lot of books in his arms, his pockets were also stuffed with books, and he was holding a book in his mouth. He was panting and leaning half against a tall bookshelf.

"It would be great if the library allowed the use of space equipment." He glanced at the pile of books in his arms melancholy, and puffed carefully to prevent the saliva at the corner of his mouth from soaking the thin "Hunter's Diary".

Of course, he also knew that this was a luxury.

Both Xiao Xiao and the librarian of Shushan Hall warned him of the relevant risks before he entered the bookshelf corridor.

In the bookshelf corridor, not only are students prohibited from bringing pens, ink, flints and other items that can easily stain books and cause fires, but they are also prohibited from bringing any form of space equipment to prevent the emergence of "Kong Yiji"-style readers.

Zheng Qing once thought that he could stay in the library for a long time by filling a gray cloth bag with food and water without risking getting lost.

Sure enough, he is still too young.

Too, young, too, simple, sometimes, naive……

"Three on the left and one on the right, three on the left and one on the right."

“Turn when you see a bookshelf with a sign.”

Zheng Qing stood blankly at the crossroads composed of several bookshelves, mumbling the formula for exiting the maze of bookshelves in his throat, and his eyes were blank.

He found that he seemed to have become a goldfish and could only maintain effective memory for three seconds.

"How many times did you turn to the left just now?" He shook his head dizzily, but soon he became optimistic again: "Well, since I forgot, let's count again... Anyway, the formula is simple. very."

"Left one." Zheng Qing held a pile of books and saw a pink octopus logo hanging on the side of the bookshelf. He confidently turned left into a row of bookshelves.

Although the bookshelves in Shushan Hall are not high, they are very long.

Each row is almost several hundred meters long.

After walking for more than ten steps, Zheng Qing's peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of a book with white light on the bookshelf next to him.

The seven large gilt characters of "Professor's Secret Lecture Notes" are extremely conspicuous against the white light.

"Concentrate, concentrate." He muttered slowly, tightened the pile of books in his arms, and ran towards the end of the bookshelf resolutely.

After running four or five steps, he finally couldn't help but turned around and pulled out the "Professor's Secret Lecture Notes" from the bookshelf.

"The last one!" he said loudly to himself: "Take one more and you will be a puppy!"

Only thirty seconds later, when he stood under another copy of "Dances with Dragons", he couldn't help but regret the vow he made a few minutes ago.

"The last one..." He hesitantly stretched out his hand, then immediately retracted it: "I still don't want it. The wizard's oath is not that easy to play with."

"But this book looks really exciting." Zheng Qing looked eagerly at the horned dragon on the cover of "Days of Dancing with Dragons". He didn't realize that his saliva had become wet and he was biting it. "Hunter's Diary". 【】

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a book from his arms, stuffed it back into the bookshelf, and then held the somewhat legendary "Days of Dancing with Dragons" in his arms.

"I didn't take more." He analyzed and comforted himself: "The total number of books in my arms is still the same...it doesn't break the vow just made."

The logic was so perfect that he couldn't help but hum a few tunes and dance a few times.

It wasn't until he walked out of the long corridor of bookshelves that he finally remembered his plan to leave the library.

"How many times did you turn left just now?" He was confused again.

As a result, he fell into an endless cycle of 'planning to leave the library', 'wandering on the bookshelves', 'changing the books in his arms' and 'forgetting to leave the library'.

When the librarian of Shushan Hall found Zheng Qing, he was tired from walking in the corridor of bookshelves and was sitting cross-legged on the ground to rest.

"So fast!" Zheng Qing leaned on the bookshelf, slumped on the ground, took inventory of the pile of books in front of him, and looked at the administrator in surprise: "I thought you would only come to clear out people when the library is closed."

"This is a special policy for newcomers." The chubby administrator floated in the air, with eight tentacles lazily floating behind him. A string of ink spurted out from his mouth, and he formed a sentence with a cold font in mid-air: "If If we chase people away after get off work, we won’t be able to leave in the middle of the night!”

Zheng Qing laughed dryly, feeling that this sentence made sense!

The librarian of Shushan Hall is an almost transparent octopus.

In other words, a group of eight-clawed octopuses.

Because apart from the students who were punished and other school workers who helped part-time, the only ones who were officially hired by First University and had the status of librarians were this group of 'octopus'.

Unlike ordinary school janitors, they do not wear complete gray overalls when working. Most of the Octopus administrators only wear a gray top hat on their bare foreheads.

Some librarians also wore red hatbands on their top hats. Zheng Qing speculated that there might be differences in division of labor and responsibilities among these octopuses.

Of course, he would only keep this kind of speculation in his heart and would not be foolish enough to ask about these big things.

Because everyone said that the librarian of Shushan Hall has a very bad temper.

According to rumors, all the eight-clawed administrators in the library are actually clones of a certain great wizard.

A long time ago, something went wrong while the great wizard was trying to reach a higher level, and he was forced to transform into a life form.

Although Mundell's Paradox mentioned that wizards cannot achieve the three major elements of free transformation between species, stable magic power and independent will at the same time.

But now that it has been completely transformed into another creature, there is naturally no such restriction.

As a result, the great wizard turned into a Mr. Octopus with powerful magic and complete consciousness.

After the establishment of the First University, the principal of the school invited the great wizard several times to serve as a professor of Transfiguration.

Perhaps due to the change in life form, Mr. Octopus's temper has also become a bit weird. He likes to blow bubbles, spit out ink letters, wave his tentacles around, and also likes some cute gadgets.

Therefore, the professor known as "Eight Claws" was unable to establish a majestic image in front of the students. Instead, he was often teased by the girls. Coupled with the loss of language function, it is also unable to teach students many basic magical skills.

So, after a detailed discussion with the principal, the Professor Ba Zhao simply left the classroom and entered the library of First University.

Now, including the Shushan Library of Jiuyou College, the libraries of four colleges, plus the school library of First University, are all under the control of this ‘Ba Zhao’ administrator.

It is said that there are two things that the great wizard hates most, one is not following the rules, and the other is damaging books.

Most of the time, these administrators move their tentacles and shuttle around every corner of the library, cleaning out bookworms, sweeping dust, organizing books, and catching students who have lost contact after entering the library.

Yes, capture.

For students who fail to strictly abide by the rules after entering the library and end up getting lost, these eight-tentacled administrators are always willing to use the most brutal means to drive them out.
