Monster Hunting High School

During Zheng Qing's second week at school, a second-degree murder occurred on the shore of Linzhong Lake.

A white short-haired cat that had not yet been weaned had its neck bones broken, and the murderer also cruelly gouged out two of the kitten's eyes. And for some unknown reason, the kitten's body stayed on the tall rockery by the lake for almost a whole day.

After nearly a month of investigation, the school finally concluded that the kitten was killed by a kappa in Linzhong Lake - undoubtedly, this conclusion is not that convincing. But the school doesn’t need to convince students either. The school just needs a conclusion.

After all, it was just a kitten that was just a few months old, and the professors also confirmed that this kitten was not transformed by some bored wizard using transfiguration. In addition, there have been a lot of chores in all aspects of school internal affairs recently, so the staff responsible for the investigation of the school working committee muddle along and hastily closed the case.

It has to be said that this operation of the school is in line with the wishes of many people - investigators from the Wizards Union do not want a wild cat to affect the relationship between the Union and First University; reporters outside the school prefer stories with a conclusion. , rather than those baseless speculations; as for the students of the school, their attention has been completely diverted by the sandworm, the resurgence of silence months in advance, and the month-long 'College Cup' hunting competition.

In just the past month, most people in the school have completely forgotten about the kitten whose neck was torn off and whose eyes were gouged out. Occasionally, someone passes by the rockery and pretends to put down a few dried daisies, but it is just to attract others' attention and gain a little reputation for themselves.

Except Jiang Yu.

Since knowing that the kitten was fed by Jiang Yu in private, as a friend, Zheng Qing couldn't help but subconsciously pay attention to this matter. So he knew that Jiang Yu often spent time after school and weekends to go to Shushan Library to check files on similar cases; he also often went to the school working committee to apply to see the investigation data of school workers; and more than once he found her standing there quietly. Under a rockery stone, I silently mourned the passing of my little friend.

Girls are always more sentimental. Maybe after a while, she will look away. The young public-funded student told himself this in his heart.

However, nearly two months later, when Jiang Yu revealed the reason why she practiced transfiguration, Zheng Qing immediately realized that she had not let go of that matter.

"I thought you were just planning to preview senior courses in advance and try to graduate early." The young public-funded student looked at the witch in shock and murmured: "This idea of ​​yours is too dangerous..."

"I also have this consideration," Jiang Yu raised her head, threw her long hair behind her, and looked at the wizard with burning eyes: "So you will support me, right?"

Zheng Qing was suffocated by the witch's gaze.

A few weeks ago, he had seen Jiang Yu in the classroom borrowing many reference books related to transfiguration; the last time she transformed into a cat, she and Li Meng had discussed a mysterious plan under the shade of a tree; and then Today, not long ago, the young public-funded student witnessed Dr. Duzem handing her a small bottle of translucent liquid and heard them talking about certain keywords of 'directed transformation'.

Based on these conditions and referring to what Jiang Yu wanted to do most, Zheng Qing could easily deduce her plan - it was nothing more than turning into a kitten and then waiting for the murderer to appear in Linzhong Lake again and commit another crime. .

"No, no, no, it's too dangerous!" Thinking of this, Zheng Qing suddenly woke up and shook her head vigorously, trying to get her terrible plan out of her head.

Then he looked at Jiang Yu seriously and emphasized in a serious tone: "The professors will not agree to your plan!"

"I didn't intend to let them know." After realizing the wizard's objection, the witch curled her lips, turned and walked out of the alley, and said nonchalantly: "...you won't tell them, will you?"

Zheng Qing shook his head subconsciously, but then he reacted.

"Don't let them know?" the poor public-funded student exclaimed: "If you don't let them know, how can you ensure your safety when facing the murderer? You know, after the transformation, you are just a slightly smarter ordinary animal! You need very reliable backup force!”

"Mengmeng promised to help me." The witch replied briefly.

"Li Meng?" Zheng Qing almost laughed out loud at this answer: "You asked that little girl to stay vigil at Linzhong Lake all night? Aren't you afraid that she will faint again?"

"Isn't there still you?" Jiang Yu tilted her head and glanced at the wizard: "Your hunting team occasionally trains at night... isn't it enough to have a hunting team that ranks first in the freshman competition to help? Besides, I just gave you a very powerful rune gun!"

These remarks left the young public-funded student speechless.

While talking, the two of them had already reached the middle of the pedestrian street. Because today is the weekend, and now it is evening again. In a while, Astronomy Class 08-1 will have its weekly class meeting. After calculating the time, the two simply had a light meal in a small restaurant on the pedestrian street, planning to go straight to the meeting after a while.

For more than an hour, from leaving the alley, to having dinner, to 601 East of the teaching building, Zheng Qing had been persuading Jiang Yu to give up her stupid plan.

Unsurprisingly, his advice was ignored by the witch.

It wasn't until he entered the classroom and faced Jiang Yu's repeated warning gazes that Zheng Qing had to stop persuading him and parted ways dejectedly at the door of the classroom.

"Why, Concubine Yu is angry with you?" Fatty Xin, who was sitting at the back of the classroom to help occupy the seats, looked at the wizard who was walking weakly and said with a low voice.

"What a mess!" Zheng Qing slapped the fat man on the head and sighed: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten by her if you speak so freely? Do you still remember how she dealt with that gorilla..."

Fatty Xin smacked his lips and slowly squirmed back to his seat.

"You came back a little late today," Xiao Xiao asked without raising his head after Zheng Qing sat down, "What did the wandering wizard say?"

"No problem, the old man agreed." The young public-sponsored student slapped his desk on the desk and hummed in reply: "In addition, I sold him all the hunts from the hunting competition - this is also the condition for his help. One - in short, the profit is good, and everyone can share it later. "

"You are the captain, you decide this kind of thing yourself." Xiao Xiao finally raised his head and reminded: "However, you got those prey by yourself... I don't recommend that you divide them equally."

"Equal distribution?!" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes and snorted: "What are you thinking! All this money belongs to the hunting team...the company's capital! There is no reason to distribute it equally..."
