Just thinking about it like this, Richard shook his head again, his mother must have something to hide from him, but this does not mean that Richard is not her biological child, if he is really the descendant of that blue-blooded man, why did he maintain the characteristics of a federal man before the sudden mutation in the arena?

This only shows that, perhaps, ...... Maybe he was the child born of the union of the Blue Bloods and the Confederacy.

"Meow?" The white cat seemed to see that Richard was preoccupied, and the two snow-white cat's paws reached out to his brow and rubbed them gently.

"Thank you, Xiaolan." Richard hugged the white cat that was rubbing his face, scratched its belly, and the white cat let out a very comfortable moan. Recite.

It was only after scratching for a while that Richard suddenly stopped with a strange expression, grabbed the two snow-white kitten paws of the white cat with both hands, and then lifted them up.

"Little Blue...... Do you say that you are now a female or a male? Richard asked with interest.

"Meow!" Little Blue mercilessly gave Richard a cat's paw!

……

Returning from the host space to the real world, Richard opened his eyes, and it was still dark night, thinking that he hadn't been in the host space for long, and there was a cold and stiff touch behind him, reminding him that he was still lying on the ground.

Getting up from the cold floor, Richard suddenly felt something hanging on his chest, and when he looked down, it turned out to be the white cat in the host space who had also followed him to the realm of the real world.

"Xiaolan, can you come out of the host space?" Richard asked, stunned.

"Meow." The white cat replied without being salty.

"Can you speak human words?" Richard pouted.

"Meow, I'm tired of talking, Xiaolan doesn't want to talk." The white cat glanced at Richard, looking extremely delicate, and then shrank forward, got into Richard's clothes through the neckline, and found a comfortable position against his chest to sleep.

“……”

Richard looked at Xiaolan speechlessly after turning into a cat, this system seems to not only copy the form of the cat, but also the arrogant and noble character of the cat.

However, Richard still couldn't help but wonder, is the white cat that Xiaolan has turned into male or female? But this time he didn't ask, he didn't want to get another cat's claw.

"Xiaolan, have you succeeded in plasticity?" Richard suddenly remembered the scene when he had just seen Little Blue in the host space.

"Meow, it's barely successful, but the internal information body is still unstable, so now I can only keep a smaller form, meow, when it stabilizes, I must become...... And then ......" Xiaolan's voice suddenly became quieter when he said the most, and he muttered a few words softly, but Richard couldn't hear clearly.

As long as it succeeds, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, swept the previous shadow between his eyebrows, and grinned, thinking that God was still quite good to him, at least now he has another "family".

After some tossing, the wine was completely awake, and Richard simply cleaned up the mess he had left in the library, and if the administrator came to see the bottle he left behind tomorrow, he would probably have to be punished for another month.

Holding the bag of instant food with some cooked food left, Richard looked at the Academy of Ice and Fire shrouded in the night again, his fists clenched quietly, waiting for me, it will be soon.

It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning, and there was a faint light in the dark night, sleepy invasion, Richard shook his head, his eyes were half-squinted, and he was about to go downstairs, when suddenly he paused, and his face showed a look of full concentration.

"Tick ...... Tick ......"

It's the dripping sound again, and this time it's much clearer than the previous one!

Richard's eyes opened suddenly, and even the ears of the white cat in his arms were pricked up, this intermittent dripping sound was not the first time Richard had heard it, he had heard it the last time he was punished for sweeping the library, but it did not attract the latter's excessive attention at the time, and now when he heard it again, Richard always felt unspeakably weird.

Looking around the library, the quiet desks and chairs, and the neatly arranged bookshelves, although they are scattered, always feel as if they are hiding something......

Richard frowned, turned back and walked back to the depths of the library floor, walking through the shelves mixed with the smell of books and wood, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in Richard's heart.

I always felt that something was wrong.

Richard paused, closed his eyes as he had done last time, and tried to use the darkness of vision to make the auditory sensation more extended......

"Drip, da, drip, da"

The treacherous sound of dripping water gradually turned into two voices with a short interval between one light and one heavy, the sound was very crisp, it was an ethereal inspiration like water, but it could not be the sound of dripping, the sound of dripping water would generally maintain a certain falling frequency, but what would it be?

Richard took a deep breath, then gradually slowed his breathing, and his faint breath was like a kerosene lamp in the wind, and suddenly a cold wind blew and went out.

At this moment, the whole library was completely silent, there were no voices, no bird songs, even the sound of breathing disappeared, and the entire empty library fell into an absolute silence, as if a large mouth in the darkness swallowed up all the sounds.

With one exception......

"Drip-da-drip-da!"

Richard opened his eyes suddenly, and then rushed to the window with a brisk stride, stopping at the wall that met the window.

Fingers slid down the edges of the wall, a cold light flashed in Richard's hand, and the Nighthawk blade scraped a crack in the edges and corners of the wall, white wall paint fell to the floor, and a white water pipe hidden in the wall appeared in front of Richard's eyes.

There was a look of disappointment in Richard's eyes, it turned out that it was really just the water pipe, and he turned his head to go back, but he heard another deep and shallow dripping sound coming from the water pipe beside him.

It seems that because of the proximity to the sound source this time, Richard suddenly noticed that the sound was more like someone knocking on the water pipe, but because of the distance, the propagation through the water pipe became a very light and short interval of dripping sound.

Richard frowned and re-examined the pipe, hidden in the walls of the windows on each floor of the library, from top to bottom, from bottom to bottom, connecting the faucets in the library's toilets and the college's buried water supply pipes.

"Where did it come from?" Richard, pacing in front of the glass wall, his angular silhouette accentuated by the moonlight, replied, "What was the last water supply point closest to the library?" ……”

Turning back to the man-made waterfall outside the glass window, a flash of lightning suddenly popped through Richard's mind, and he blurted out, "It's a man-made waterfall!" ”

Outside the glass window, a man-made waterfall was flowing rapidly, and Richard was thrilled with his conclusions, and became more and more curious about the library and the man-made waterfall.

He was eager to rush downstairs to the man-made waterfall, when suddenly, the Nighthawk Blade, which Richard had not yet recovered, was scorched by a ray of moonlight shining through the glass wall, and the moonlight was reflected by the sharp blade of the Nighthawk Blade onto the oil painting on the other wall on the fourth floor.

Richard turned his head and looked at the painting, stunned.
