54. Does it count as death
Every four years, the academy hosts a night party to select the best puppeteers of the same era, and the hundred glove holders who participate fight until the last one remains.
In the end, this person will be called the "Demon King".
The "Demon King" is not bound by the International Magic Charter and the Code of Ethics for Magicians - in short, "do as he pleases". You can read all the forbidden books, use a qiΔ forbidden technique, and also carry out immortal exploration and genetic modification. Regardless of the country's army, they will be treated like officers. It can be said that if you get the title of "Demon King", you can realize your wishes.
Although Zero View doesn't care about the title of "Demon King", he is very concerned about the benefits after becoming the "Demon King".
"As long as you defeat a puppeteer, the quota of the Discipline Inspection Committee will belong to you, and the Executive Department will approve your qualifications to participate in the night party."
"Oh, who needs to be killed?" Zero looked at Felix playfully.
"Magic Eater!!" Felix said sternly.
"Okay, this guy who gave the protagonist experience, sisters, and prestige in the original book actually paid attention to me!!" Zero Guan looked at each other secretly funny.
Felix suddenly smiled and said, "You just came here so you don't know the name, I'll explain it to you." β
"Hmm."
"Every year there are people who are missing, and most of them drop out of school. I am not interested in the courses arranged by the school, the courses cannot keep up with others, I am excluded and bullied by others, and the tuition fees are too high...... And so on, for all reasons. But what we're going to talk about today are students who have lost their tracks without submitting their applications. β
Felix's tone changed, and he continued in a rare stern tone: "Last October, six people disappeared at the beginning of the school year - it was obviously too sudden. Not only that, but we also found two incidents of the destruction of the dolls. If you just want to escape. You won't destroy your dolls. The puppet is the asset of the puppet, and it is the capital of life, if it is useless, it can be sold for a price, there is really no reason to destroy it. β
"Indeed." Zero Guan pretended to be surprised, "So that magic eater is the murderer?" β
"Well, for months. We have been working with the police to step up night patrols. Of course, an independent investigation is also underway. But unfortunately nothing came of it. Most of the eyewitness testimonies collected were exaggerated, and the result became something like an urban legend. The only thing I can figure out is that there is a thing called the Magic Eater in this school, and this guy likes to eat dolls. As he spoke, Felix looked mischievously at Vina, who was standing beside Zero.
Vina's body stiffened violently.
As a doll, she is in danger of being preyed, so she must feel terrifying.
Felix smiled back, "That's the end of my words. Magic Eaters are a threat to the school. is an enemy that must be defeated, and defeating him will give you the right to participate in the night party. β
"So you have so much faith in me?"
"Of course, there are two reasons for this. First, you certainly won't be a magic eater. With all the students and teachers as suspects, you are well suited for this task. β
"Second, you are very strong. I think it has the strength to match the thirteen, so you need someone of the same level to deal with it. Did you know that the students you beat before were all top students in the waiting group within the hundred? The strength is all first-class. Being able to knock them down lightly shows that your strength is no less than that of the thirteen people. Felix said seriously.
"I see. The reason is reasonable. But if you only rely on these two conditions, there is actually another person who meets it. Zero Guan smiled noncommittally, then remembered Lei Zhen, and simply pulled him in.
"Oh, who are you talking about?" Felix felt something strange.
"It's the guy who played against Charlotte. Don't look at him as an international student, that guy's strength is actually very extraordinary! "Zero-view and realistically evaluate Lei Zhen.
"There is still such a number one person. Looks like I need to get in touch with him. Felix pondered.
Zeroguan stood up, "I've taken over the task of defeating the Magic Eater, and I'll take action right away." Well, I won't bother you with your work, Cadre Felix. β
"Walk slowly."
Felix was under his watch. Zero Guan left the office.
In the corridor away from the Manners, a woman with shoulder-length hair and full of wisdom walked over from the opposite side.
He has an aristocratic atmosphere and is also very well developed, and he also has an Overseer's wrist badge on his wrist, and he also wears gloves limited to night party attendees on his hands, so he is one of the owners of gloves.
The moment she stepped in, Zero Guan clearly felt a sense of incongruity from her.
"Sure enoughβ" Zero Guan laughed silently, the man who claimed to be Lisette. Norton's maiden looks like a real person, but it's actually an automaton.
If you're not traveling, the Magic Eater is referring to her and her master, Felix. Kingsford.
"The thief shouts the shoddy trick of catching the thief, that is, it is only to deceive the ignorant." Shaking his head with a smile, Zero Guan walked straight to the library, there are still many magic books that have not been recorded.
Time passes.
The bright moonlight slowly shone on the campus at night.
It's one o'clock in the morning, and the average student has already fallen asleep.
In the silent silence, the unknown shadow lightly left the student dormitory and flew into the sky, the number was very large, but it was only a little larger than the sparrow.
These shadows can be found all over the campus.
They formed a surveillance network with their own lines of sight, covering the entire academy.
Suddenly-
"Found it, let's go, Vina."
"Hmm!"
Soon, two figures left the student dormitory and disappeared into the night.
At this time, in a corner of the campus, in the bottomless woods, there were a pair of shining eyes.
The shadow was dim, except for a vague sight of a four-legged thing greedily gnawing on something on the ground. And the things that are eaten are not only hands and feet, but also heads.
Its eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs inside were about to pop out, and the dying appearance was terrifying, and the liquid that looked like blood was splashing everywhere.
It was lying upside down on its back, as if it had been eaten away, revealing some metal pipes and countless wires.
The devoured body is an expensive automaton.
The black shadow tore through the body of the prey, pulling out the most important internal organs of the doll, and was as cruel as a man-eater, and without saying a word, he hugged the doll like a hungry tiger and sucked the oil that flowed out.
Crack, crack, click.
It was as if the sound of wild beasts chewing meat and bones kept ringing in the woods, and it was very permeating.
Listening to the sound of wild beasts devouring food, the person hidden in the darkness not far away showed a hideous smile, that smile was full of blood and smugness, obviously not the first time.
At this time, the figure did not notice, and two uninvited guests appeared next to him.
It wasn't until the other party spoke out that he came back to his senses from his intoxicated state and fell into the piercing meaning.
"Is this considered death, Cadre Felix!" (To be continued......)
