30. The Controller (Middle)
“…… Campus forest? ”
Blinking and looking around, Zhang Longqian's mind was still a little confused, she rubbed her forehead, frowned and whispered: "That's right...... I have to go to Cang Yan......"
Whispering, she slowly woke up from the confused feeling, and then gradually remembered everything that had happened before, and was slightly stunned, she sighed because of her brainless actions, and then squatted down a little weakly, burying her face between her arms.
"I didn't think about anything and left from Xiao Miao and Xiao Lu...... It's true that I can't help over there, but isn't this behavior like running away? There are enough inferior ...... And ......" Zhang Longqian, whose thoughts had returned to his former clarity, couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The trouble that can drag Cang Yan back, it's useless for me to go, right?" ”
No wonder at that time, even if Zhou Miao decided to go to Cang Yan in pairs by herself, instead of letting Zhang Long, who couldn't help in the battle, sneak away.
What the hell am I doing? Isn't it just about immersing yourself in your own world, and neither side can help?
Rather, it's like dragging the legs on both sides.
…… Too bad, me.
Although he lamented like this, Zhang Longqian's heart was incredibly gone.
Because, she has found the answer, there is no need to be confused.
"Just get stronger...... Is it? Thinking back to the voice he heard just now, Zhang Long let out a deep breath and smiled softly as if he had unloaded some burden, "It's really a simple and direct answer, but I only realized it now...... That man...... Thanks to her......"
Thinking of what the strange female voice said, she felt a little grateful and a little puzzled.
Remember, no matter how painful the future may be, you must never give up. Don't forget, you are you, you will not be stumped by the past, nor will you be confused by the future, as long as you move forward firmly, you will be able to keep your "truth".
You can hear the encouragement, but what does it really mean? Who is she? Why did she know about Cang Yan's existence?
And, why...... I'll see......
As soon as he thought of the white figure that had always been in the softest corner of his heart, and had never faded a little, Zhang Longqian's gaze became gentle and sad.
Why did you see Brother Fox?
His thoughts slowly returned to his former order, and Zhang Longqian also knew that now was not the time to think about this, so he shook his head to stop the sadness that emerged. But when she stood up and looked at the almost identical trees around her, she couldn't help but sigh again when she wanted to find Cang Yan.
“…… Which way should I go? ”
Although he knew that Cang Yan should be near the center of the woods, he couldn't tell that there was the right direction at all now. Thinking that she was running towards the center of the woods after all, and the direction she was facing should not deviate much, Zhang Longqian simply lifted her foot in the direction in front of her, but after her eyes swept to the ground, instead of moving forward, she took a step back.
“…… Blood? ”
The green grass that grew between the trees was covered in dark red, forming a variety of strange and delicate patterns, and intertwined into a dark red band about two feet wide, extending to the left and right with a shallow arc. In this dark place, such a strong color makes the surroundings stained with a strange atmosphere.
"This is the bloodstain painted on the periphery of the circle that Nangong said, right? To put it this way...... That's the circle ahead of this? Didn't I almost walk in? ”
Looking at the circle of human blood that exuded a strange aura, and thinking that this magic circle was probably a trap laid by the controller, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be a little afraid.
Luckily it stopped.
"Huh? Could it be that the voice said I couldn't go any further, referring to this? Is she helping me? ”
Although he couldn't read the magic circle, and he couldn't tell what was different in front of him except for the dried blood in the circle, Zhang Longqian still had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if there was something ominous within the scope of the previous magic circle. Looking at the blood stains under her feet, she felt even more uncomfortable when she thought that this was a spell drawn by the manipulator, and she felt that she couldn't let the manipulator do what she wanted, so she turned over the dirt under the bloodstains with her toes, trying to destroy these charms.
But even if the bloody soil is dug up, the soil exposed in the ground has the same pattern of blood, as if the blood has long since penetrated it. Seeing this, Zhang Longqian immediately changed his approach and turned over the soil on the side and covered it, but the strange thing was that in just a short moment, the blood actually emerged from the new soil, and the pattern was exactly the same.
Cannot be destroyed.
This made Zhang Longqian frown, and it felt even more weird.
“…… Forget it, let's hurry up and find Cang Yan......"
Muttering two steps back, widening the distance from the strange charm, Zhang Longqian began to wonder where to go to search, but then he felt something move in his coat pocket, and then a small white head poked out and opened his mouth to her silently.
“…… Yes! Light snow! ”
Before, because of the sudden appearance of the vampire, he forgot about Xiaoxue's existence, and seeing it at this moment, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be a little overjoyed. Xiaoxue flapped her wings and flew to Zhang Longqian, but she exploded uneasily in the direction of the bloodstains, and opened her mouth and screamed silently, which made Zhang Longqian more sure that the magic circle was over there, and at the same time, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Okay, Xiaoxue, you don't have to be silent all the time."
Anyway, Bai Lu's attack was so loud, if the controller wanted to detect it, he would have noticed it earlier, and it wasn't bad for Xiaoxue that it wasn't a noisy cry at all.
"Beep!"
After getting the ban, Xiaoxue immediately screamed happily and fell into Zhang Longqian's palm.
"Fortunately, you are here, can you please take me to Cang Yan?"
"Beep!"
Slapped his chest with his short wings, as if to assure Zhang Longqian, and then Xiaoxue flew up again, and after a slight pause in the air, it chirped and flew firmly in one direction, Zhang Longqian's heart was relieved, and he immediately followed.
No matter what trouble is entangled with Cang Yan, you still have to find him first and tell him the current situation.
Except for the invisible magic circle, there didn't seem to be any danger in the forest in the school, because there was an obvious circle of blood on the ground indirectly marking the location of the magic circle, coupled with Xiao Xue's leadership, Zhang Longqian was like running in an ordinary wood, there was no danger, which allowed her to think about the problems she hadn't thought about before.
In the information of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School, it was said that the diameter of the forest in the school was only about 100 meters, but after Nangong Piao briefly explored the magic circle, he came to the conclusion that "the radius of the magic circle alone is 100 meters, and the outermost part of the circle is more than 200 meters away from the edge of the forest in the school", that is to say, the real area of the forest in the school is probably nearly ten times that of the school archives, and it is basically the same as the total area of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School! However, the total area of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School can't be faked, and the campus forest is really not big from the outside, can this magic circle still distort the space and make the originally large campus forest look small from the outside?
Although he didn't know much about spells, Zhang Longqian could vaguely guess that the moves that could affect the space were definitely not that simple.
How strong is the guy who laid down this magic circle?
The principal of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School has always refused to allow students to enter the school forest, does he know something?
Speaking of which......
Zhang Longqian frowned slightly.
"I've never seen that old man before......"
Not only her, but none of the students of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School have ever seen the principal, and in the file introduction of Zhongkun No. 1 Middle School, there is no photo of the principal published.
Odd.
It's already strange that a person has been a headmaster for thirty years, and no one has ever known what he looks like, this kind of thing has reached the level of weirdness, right? Why would a public school allow such a principal to exist?
