60. Clear suspicions
Following.
Handed over the magic eater to Lei Zhen to deal with, and Zero Guan, who had his hands free, went to the library again to record magic knowledge.
By the time he walked out of the library with Vina, it was nearly dusk.
The street lights in the neighborhood have been lit up, and the orange sun has sunset to a height that can almost be hidden by the fence, and night is coming.
"Squeak-"
Walking on the avenue of the academy, Zero Guan suddenly heard the unnatural sound of the trees in his ears, as if he was being ravaged by someone with great force, and then, with a "pop", the sound of the trees breaking came.
"Boom-"
The tree, which had completely broken in half, fell to the ground under the gaze of Zero and Vena, stirring up a cloud of dust for the boss.
Then Zero Guan saw the night like a zombie at all, and staggered towards the gate of the academy.
"Destroy the academy trees, it seems that Lei Zhen's wallet is going to shrink a little more!" Zero Guan subconsciously estimated the value of the trees, and when she looked at the night again, she had already stopped.
- Charlotte's automaton Sigmund.
"Let go of me, let go of me." Night after night struggled, trying to shake off Sigmund who was biting her hair.
Sigmund lifted its head to bite at Night's hair and pointed to the cage-like door, "Have you forgotten? Student automatons are not allowed to go out on the streets of the city. β
"It's right, look, the guards are aiming at you!" Zero Guan walked up with a smile.
The school stipulates that the academy is not allowed to take automaton out of the school until they graduate, unless there is a special permit issued by the school. If any student dared to leave the academy with an automaton, the school's guards would shoot them mercilessly. Because there are a large number of former graduates in the guards, the average cadet does not want to leave alive.
It's like now, at the door, several guns reflecting a cold light are pointed at the night, and there is no puppeteer with him. Night and night will surely die!
"Ahh It's Felix! Sigmund glanced back at Zero, and flapped his wings to the other shoulder of Night, which was farther away from Zero.
Zero Guan frowned imperceptibly, and said to Ye Ye, who was still preparing to break through the gate: "Let's not talk about the power of the rifle, let's just say that the graduates in the guards, you have a high chance of being killed!" β
Night and night looked at Zero Guan with tears in his eyes: "But ......"
Sigmund took the opportunity to say, "Think about it, if you get into trouble. Your host will be bothered. β
"Woo-"
Ye Ye was silent on the spot, slumped on the ground, and wiped the tears that fell with the backs of his hands. Incredibly, the tears instantly crystallized and fell to the ground with a gurgling sound.
Are you from the mackerel clan!? Zero Guan slandered in his heart, and made a cheerful smile on his face: "Oops, oops...... It's the first time I've seen a doll so concerned about the safety of the owner, and it seems that you are very loyal to Lei Zhen every night. β
"Hey, hey, hey, no matter how she looks at it, she is more than the loyal Cheng dΓΉ!" Sigmund spit out loud.
"Don't say that. Humanoid automaton are almost identical in appearance and function to humans - no, maybe someone already thinks of them as humans. It's normal to develop feelings above loyalty! Zero Guan waved his hand and smiled.
"To be able to say such a thing shows that Your Excellency also regards us as equal beings, and I would like to express my gratitude." Sigmund bowed his head like a true gentleman, but then added: "Although we are glad to be recognized by humans, we have never been able to be equal to humans, and if we have a good opinion of our master beyond the bounds, something will happen." β
"Makes sense."
No matter how human-like automata are, they are not human after all. The function cannot be the same as that of a human being, and the human body is simply made in the posture of a puppet. If you want to get involved in this field, you have to be at least the winner of the title of "Demon King", and even the best puppeteers can't do that right now.
"The alchemy of the android can be used as a reference, and maybe I can overcome this problem, but how can I have the time!" Zero Guan sighed in his heart. Don't think about these questions anymore.
"Alright, don't worry about anything else. How about I invite you to dinner? β
"I want bean paste fruit jelly!" Hearing Lingguan say a treat, the night that was just sobbing immediately came to his senses, jumped up from the ground, and shouted happily.
The other side. Sigmund flew to the head of the night as if to show his existence, and shouted, "Chicken! β
"Let's go."
Seeing this, Ling Guan smiled and led them to the cafeteria.
"Speaking of which, your master is not around, be very careful!"
"Careful?" Ye Ye tilted his head in confusion.
Sigmund said, "Let's be careful of the [Magic Eater], right?" β
Zero nodded and said, "That's right, the object of the magic eater hunts is automata, and automatons like you who have left their masters are the best targets for him." β
Inadvertently, the night has become quite thick, and the road is all illuminated by the street lamps on the side of the road. β
"Hmmm! Be careful every night! Ye Ye nodded obediently.
"Good boy!" Zero Guan glanced at her appreciatively.
Sigmund glanced at Zero in surprise, then hurriedly turned his gaze away, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
Entering the cafeteria, Lingguan paid for the food that Yeye and Sigmund liked, and he also ordered a cup of favorite black tea for Vina, but was inexplicably refused.
On the way to the meal, she told her and Lei Zhen's loving life without any disguise every night, and her act of telling with oil and vinegar made Sigmund and Vina, who didn't know Lei Zhen, feel sad for Lei Zhen from the bottom of their hearts, and the exaggeration of her rhetorical techniques can be imagined. The informed Zero View, almost the whole whole process is full of black lines, watching and telling night and night.
He sighed sincerely: "Such a superb doll is estimated to be unbearable!" β
Finally passed the meal time, and Zero Guan packed another one for the two, and watched their backs disappear on the road.
"Vina, go ahead with your plan."
"Yes."
In response, Vina left Zero's side and walked quickly towards Felix's dormitory.
"The moonlight is very good, just let me see how powerful the night is in one of the highest humanoid forms of [Hualiuzhai]." With a smile illuminated by the street lamp, Lingguan walked step by step towards the dimly lit deep forest.
Just now, Zero View learned the news of Charlotte and Lei Zhen's return to school from Shikigami at the gate, and in order to clear the suspicion that "himself" is a magic eater, he wants to release the crazy Alyssa. (To be continued......)
