Chapter 45: The Lost Book (4)
An Xin glanced at Wu Hao with some surprise.
She thought about it, stretched out her slender hand behind her, found two folders out of nowhere, handed them to Wu Hao and said, "The first report is the testimony of eyewitnesses, and the second report is the identification of the hospital." Hurry up and take a look. β
Wu Hao took the report, glanced at it about twice, and clamped it under his armpit.
"One more thing to remember," Anxin said, "whatever that mirror world person accuses you of, you must deny it with all your might." There is only one way to get rid of your troubles. β
"It's to prove that the fact that you sent him to the hospital is all framed."

"All dead?"
"yes," the owl said with a wry smile, "haven't you noticed their attitude towards humans by what has just happened?" hatred, contempt, jealousy...... There was no positive mood at all. β
"Everyone who comes here will be put to death, that's the rule."
Qiu Yue noticed that the owl didn't have a good impression of the "them" in its mouth.
"Since the mortality rate here is so high," Qiu Yue asked, "then why are so many people still here to die?" β
The owl flapped its huge wings and skimmed the clouds with ease, making a beautiful arc above the red sun.
"You shouldn't ask me that," said the owl, "after all, I'm not human. β
"But I think, but there are such people in any world, those who want to have a magnificent expedition, those who want to make a fortune - after all, this world is the only one that has a mine of Mithril, and this metal is very valuable in your world!"
Qiu Yue was silent, according to the owl's words, she had an ignorant understanding of the worldview of this 79th floor: this layer is divided into two worlds, one is the world inhabited by humans, and the other is the world inhabited by strange creatures like owls and giant trees, and Qiu Yue is in this world now.
Where is Wu Hao now? Will it be in the human world?
"Why do you have such a bad attitude towards humans?"
"Who told you to defeat the battle? The winner bullies the loser, rightfully so. β
The owl flew higher and higher, and Qiu Yue noticed that the clouds seemed to be darkening, and the roar came from inside, like a train whistle.
There was thunder.
"Then why did you save me?"
"Because you've asked me for help, in bird language."
Qiu Yue nodded, and she could hear the joy in the owl's tone.
"What's more, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with war, the human world and the mirror world are two adjacent worlds, and the human race and the people of the mirror world should be treated equally.
War has changed not only the human world, but also the mirror world. People in the mirror world become selfish, arrogant, and ignorant. I don't like that. β
The owl's wings shook slightly, and it flew down, and it plunged into the clouds. Gray filled Qiu Yue's vision, and countless clouds of thunder like ribbons brushed her skin and drifted backwards.
"The higher-ups of the Mirror Realm have signed the [Treaty of the Two Realms] with the Human Realm, but the benefits brought by the [Treaty of the Two Realms] are far from satisfying their increased appetite. They want to reignite the flames of war and wage war against the human world again for greater good. β
"I want to stop the war."
The owl's tone was firm and unwavering.
It began to descend slowly, and Qiu Yue looked down, and there was a faint outline of a gray hill on the green earth, which was extremely recognizable.
They landed on the hills.
The hill is higher than the surrounding sea of trees, and it is full of rocks of various sizes, and a huge bird's nest sits alone on the rocks, and the bird's nest is made of countless small branches, which is extremely clever.
"This is your home?"
Qiu Yue pointed to the bird's nest and asked the owl.
"It wasn't, but now it is."
"What do you mean?"
"This nest originally belonged to one of the strongest vultures in the area," the owl said proudly, "and I defeated it." β
β¦β¦
Qiu Yue didn't know what to say, she stood on the rocks and looked into the distance, in front of the sea of trees was the real sea, but the sea water was black, and the black waves were surging.
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Yue asked softly.
"I'm going to destroy the Lost Book." The owl said.
"Destroying the Lost Book?"
Qiu Yue frowned, isn't this consistent with her mission?
"Yes," the owl nodded its beak, "The Lost Book is the key to the door between the human world and the mirror world, as long as it is destroyed, the door between the human world and the mirror world will be closed, and the mirror world will not be able to wage war against the human world." β
"Where's that book now?"
"On the other side of the sea," the owl's wings pointed to the sea, "lives a mouse named Mirkor, the greatest bandit in the north, and it is rumored that the Lost Book is in his hands. β
"Many of the slaves who escaped from Mirko knew that it had this book, and Mirko took it with him wherever he went, never leaving it. It cherishes that book as much as it cherishes its own eyes. In this world, no one can expect to survive after getting involved in this book, whether it is a human or a person in the mirror world. β
"So much to talk to," Qiu Yue asked, "what do you want me to do for you?" β
"I want you to come with me to Mirkor's lair and destroy the Lost Book," said the owl, "and you're strong, and I've never seen a human who can walk under that tree for a few rounds." β
Hearing this, Qiu Yue was suddenly a little disappointed, and she understood why the owl had saved her before. She had thought that the bird intent on stopping the war might have a more selfless reason for acting, but she didn't expect it to be more snobbish than she thought.
However, his mission is also to destroy the Lost Book, and it is not a bad thing to have a help.
"Yes."
Qiu Yue nodded.

Wu Hao and Anxin came to the conference hall on the third floor of the teaching building.
Stepping into the conference hall, Wu Hao felt that the temperature was ten degrees lower than outside, and the group was solemn, Wu Hao only heard two voices, one was the clamor of flipping the file, and the other was the whispered reminder of President Anxin next to him.
"Don't be nervous, do as I say."
At a glance, there were already four "people" sitting on the long table. The bald old man in the chief is the principal of the school, the uncle with a paralyzed face with a beard in the second seat is a police officer, and Wu Hao is surprised by the third seat, which is a blonde woman with sunglasses, and the label on the table is: foreign language teacher.
Wu Hao turned his gaze to the fourth seat, that is, the international student from another world, the victim who was admitted to the hospital by Wu Hao.
οΌοΌοΌ
If Wu Hao was only slightly surprised to see the foreign language teacher appear here, then he almost lost his eyes when he saw the victim.
Anxin has been saying "people from the mirror world" and "people from the mirror world", which makes Wu Hao have a preconceived concept, he has always thought that people in the other world look very similar to humans, at most, there are differences in some parts of the body, such as skin color and hair color, and for example, long ears and big eyes.
He never thought that the one sitting there was actually a ...... Dog.
It doesn't even bother to sit, with the dog's forepaws on the table and its hind feet squatting on the chair. It let out a contemptuous roar at An Xin and Wu Hao, who had just come in, and turned back again.
The principal sitting in the chief also noticed Wu Hao and President Anxin who had just come in, his eyes were not disdainful, but his tone was very flat: "President Anxin and classmate Wu have also arrived, find a stool and sit down." β
Wu Hao was about to sit down, when he suddenly saw the blonde hair leaning into the ear of the otherworldly dog and whispering.
Wu Hao couldn't hear what they said, only that the dog suddenly seemed to have a rabies attack, his forefoot slapped heavily on the table in the conference hall, and his mouth kept barking.
"Woo Woo!"
"He said," the blonde woman translated, "I don't bother to say hello to you Earth Pigs!" β
"Didn't let you say hello."
The principal waved his hand at the dog and introduced the blonde woman to Wu Hao and Chairman Anxin: "This is Teacher Wang, who is the interpreter for this discussion. β
Wu Hao nodded.
I saw him turn around and ask the translator named Mr. Wang, "Did you translate it wrong?" I didn't let him say hello to classmate Wu and Anxin! β
"No," Teacher Wang looked innocent, "I swear I translated it strictly according to what you said, Headmaster." As for why he mentioned greetings...... Maybe it's the cultural factor of the mirror world. β
"Forget it," the principal frowned, and asked the policeman sitting next to him, "Officer Fan, since everyone is here, can the meeting begin?" β
