Chapter 3: The Mysterious Emblem
"That's right...... This is easy to do," the red-haired girl squatted down and looked at it, "You bear the pain, I'll help you treat it." β
Endure the pain......?
Zheng Jiuye suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Click!"
The red-haired girl's hand twisted hard as she finished saying that, and then Zheng Jiuye's thigh clicked like a wail.
"Whewββ!"
This time it was a real wail.
"This is a fracture, not a dislocation, big sister, you break me like this...... Well? It doesn't hurt anymore? β
After the red-haired girl's exertion, Zheng Jiuye's original fracture did not have the previous pain, but was replaced by a tingling and itching sensation that was not a big problem.
"It's okay if it doesn't hurt, if you don't break it completely, the healing magic won't work," the red-haired girl knocked Zheng Jiuye's thigh twice with her hand, "Just raise it for a day or two...... Okay, because you're violating the curfew policy, come with us now. β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
Zheng Jiuye followed behind the red-haired girl with a helpless expression.
Now I can walk on my legs, but I still can't use a little strength...... In other words, it actually takes more than ten seconds to treat quite serious fractures and bone cracks in this world, and the next two days must be regarded as postoperative recovery.
And in Zheng Jiuye's world, it took more than ten seconds to make a splint...... So does the world really need such a thing as science?
Zheng Jiuye was skeptical.
About ten minutes later.
"Name?"
The red-haired girl asked, leaning back in the chair behind the desk, holding a pen.
"Zheng Jiuye ......"
Anyway, violating the curfew is not a big deal, isn't it just a matter of paying a fine...... Why do I always feel like I've made a big mistake in this atmosphere?
"Age?"
"Ah...... Seventeen years old. β
"Identity?"
"Reserve members of the Assassin Brotherhood......"
"Reservist members...... So you're one of the newest apprentices," the red-haired girl doubled her finger on it, "You don't have a curfew?" β
"The reserve members didn't send it," Zheng Jiuye shrugged helplessly, "And then?" β
"Just wait here, we'll be responsible for notifying the Assassins' Guild to send someone to pick you up," the red-haired girl said, closing her notebook, "and by the way, I'll help you pay the fine." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
After talking to Zheng Jiuye, the red-haired girl left the room and locked the door by the way.
The teacher was basically not in the guild after eight o'clock in the evening, and Randy was coaxed to sleep by the teacher before his words...... The rest of the people weren't there, so it seemed like he would have been here for a night before he was picked up.
"It's really unlucky...... What to do now? β
The exam paper is not in Zheng Jiuye's hand, and it is still on the roof. What's more, there is only one oil lamp in this room that can barely see clearly, and it doesn't seem realistic to see books or anything like that.
"Hah...... Just get some sleep......"
Zheng Jiuye found that he didn't seem to have anything to do, and he happened to yawn and felt a little sleepy, so he lay on the table and prepared to sleep.
ββ¦β¦ Feed! Get up! β
Almost as soon as he lay down, Zheng Jiuye heard the sound of knocking on the wall outside, and the sound of a young girl shouting.
"Huh?"
As soon as Zheng Jiuye looked up, he happened to see the blue-haired girl with one hand trying to lie on the edge of the window, and the other hand trying to hand over a box of ointment.
"I'm here to save you! It's scary to be caught, let's run! β
ββ¦β¦ No, isn't curfew just a fine? Zheng Jiuye had a speechless expression, "If you are caught by Teacher Randy, it will be terrible......"
Wait a minute.
Teachers usually come back late in the morning, and Teacher Randy gets up early, in other words, nine times out of ten, it is Teacher Randy who comes here to teach the fines......
Teacher Randy?!
Zheng Jiuye shivered directly, and the previous sleepiness disappeared completely.
"I'll go with you, you wait."
Zheng Jiuye took two steps back slightly, then jumped up on the wall, and hung his hands on the roof support. Then, Zheng Jiuye swung forward with this force and landed on the shelf next to the window.
Three months of basic physical training is indeed not done in vain...... The benefits of physical training in this world are much higher than those on earth, not to mention that Zheng Jiuye was very good at things like climbing walls before; It's just that the thighs are still a little weak, so the movements are a little slower.
"Come here! I can't hold it anymore! β
Zheng Jiuye jumped up at this moment, and the girl with aqua blue hair was about to fall......
"This is the third floor...... No one will continue to follow this down! You come first, I'll pull you up......"
Zheng Jiuye stuck out his head from the window and looked down, but there was not even a stepping stone underneath...... If you fall, you will definitely get injured without weight loss and no one will be on the mat.
"Alright, grab my hand."
Although there is no weight loss, the girl's weight is actually not heavy, and Zheng Jiuye easily pulled the girl in along the window of the roof.
"Whew, saved......" The girl wiped the sweat from her head with her sleeve, and then jumped down on tiptoe from the high platform next to the window, "Okay, you jump!" I'll catch you! β
"I jump...... I'm going to jump a fart on your side! Aren't we going to run away? Zheng Jiuye looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him speechlessly, "I can go out myself, can you still go out?" β
"Huh......?"
The expression on the blue-haired girl's face froze.
"I know you can't get out just now by scratching the window," Zheng Jiuye sighed, "Yes, I ran away too." Let's wait here for dawn, and we'll have to explain to the guard sister why there is one more person in this room later......"
"I'm sorry, I've messed things up again, I've always messed things up," the blue-haired girl looked at Zheng Jiuye cautiously, "I might have killed you...... You can't use the ointment you brought, do you? β
"So the curfew is just a fine......" Zheng Jiuye was speechless, "Where is the rule that the curfew will be killed!" At most, I was punished by Teacher Landy, can't I just endure it? β
"No, it will...... will be killed. β
The blue-haired girl said faintly, and began to undo the clothes on her chest.
"No, what are you going to do......"
Before Zheng Jiuye finished speaking, the blue-haired girl's clothes were already halfway undone, revealing the emblem on her chest.
ββ¦β¦ I don't think I saw it, but is it too late to run now? β
The corners of Zheng Jiuye's eyes twitched.
Even if Zheng Jiuye doesn't have common sense, he can recognize this emblem. I don't know the specific reason, but the people with this emblem on their chests are all high-value wanted objects, the kind that doesn't matter if they live or die.
"This was your room before...... You also gave your name and address. β
The blue-haired girl mended the knife with a sad face.
"Sure enough, it's hell difficulty! I remember the curfew was until six o'clock in the morning, and the red-haired guard sister was probably not coming back until then...... You wait, I'll figure it out! β
Zheng Jiuye gritted his teeth, his body was short, and he got out of the previous window.
Actually, it's not like there's no other way...... But if you want to kill the blue-haired girl just like that, or catch the blue-haired girl and watch her be killed, Zheng Jiuye really can't do it, so he can only choose other methods.
The height of the third floor may be a problem for the blue-haired girl, but it is not difficult for the unusually agile Nine Nights; Zheng Jiuye estimated a position on the third floor, then jumped from it, and while landing on the grass, he rolled and unloaded the impact and stood directly on the ground outside.
"This is the backyard, right? There is no one stationed there, it's really ......"
"Isn't there a plot like that in Assassin games in general...... The leap of faith is like this," Zheng Jiuye pushed a cart full of straw from the corner of the backyard, "You won't lose HP if you land from a high place, so it's okay." β
In fact, it is only because the height is less than ten meters, and the straw cart is enough to cushion.
The blue-haired girl was already watching Zheng Jiuye from the window. After Zheng Jiuye made a gesture, the blue-haired girl jumped down and was caught by Zheng Jiuye pushing a trolley.
"Okay, then you've managed to get out," Zheng Jiuye glanced up, "Then again, the guards didn't know you were there from the beginning!" What the hell am I trying so hard for......"
If this guy didn't come to save Zheng Jiuye, how could there be so many things? pay some fines, and at most be scolded by Teacher Landi; As a result, after seeing the mark on the girl's chest now, Zheng Jiuye always felt that there was some trouble to be entangled......
"Anyway, tell me your name first, I don't know your name yet......"
"Boom ββ!!!"
Before Zheng Jiuye could finish speaking, he heard a violent explosion sound from the southβand then, from here, you could see the southernmost part of the city, and a sky-high flame appeared at the place where the explosion sound had just appeared, directly illuminating the entire city.
"That location...... Is it the South Gate? What's going on? β
