Bai Yiquan hesitated.

He didn't know if he should follow now, or if he should turn around and leave. The girl obviously has no ill will towards herself, but is more interested in the sparse black hair and black eyes in this world. In this way, it is not impossible for him to contact the mission target in advance.

Just be careful not to reveal your identity.

Once he had made his decision, he followed.

"Well, I just came. Bai Yiquan scratched his head, he was not very good at accosting girls, "Please advise." ”

"Teach what. The girl sat down on the grass without looking back, "You don't want to tell me where you're from, and you still tell me what to say." ”

"I'm from the knots. Bai Yiquan thought about it and decided to make it up, "It's in the deep mountains and old forests, and all of our villages are black-haired and black-eyed. But you don't know exactly where it was said. ”

"Really?" the girl turned her head and looked at Bai Yiquan with a radiant expression, "Your village is all black-haired and black-eyed, is it so amazing." ”

Bai Yiquan didn't think it was magical. It's like the girl in front of her seems to have come out of the two-dimensional world, and the degree of refinement of her facial features is the same as that of Ani, and it would be nice if her IQ was as low as Ani. He casually fooled the girl a few words, and quickly shifted the topic to the girl herself.

"Where are you from?"

The girl told Bai Yiquan happily, but it was a place name he had never heard of.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Yiquan looked at the surrounding environment and asked, "There are no people looking like them." ”

"Aren't the two of us human?" Quintina tilted her head, her long red hair reflected in the water, like a rainbow in the sky, "The water in the pool is all drawn from the sea, and I don't know what it does." ”

Drawn from the sea?

Bai Yiquan lowered his head, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the water in the pool did not look like seawater, it may be the reason why there were aquatic crops at the bottom of the pool, and the water in the pool was light green. But the further down you go, the darker the color becomes, and you can't see the bottom of the pool, so you don't know how deep this pool is.

He spotted a branch at his feet, so he picked it up and stirred it in the water. The black sand floated up like spilled ink. For some reason, he always felt that this pool had an indescribable weirdness.

"What did you find?" Quintina asked faintly in his ear.

"Wow, why did you come here all of a sudden. Bai Yiquan was startled.

"I see you're quite concerned about this Tiantan. Quintina shrugged, "Don't you want to know what's down there?"

"You know?"

"Perhaps, yes. Quintina snapped her fingers, "Watch out." ”

Bai Yiquan looked at Quintina suspiciously, not understanding what she meant, but the next moment he understood. An orange-red flame suddenly appeared about two centimeters above the latter's index finger. Bai Yiquan's breathing increased a little bit, and he felt that the temperature around him seemed to have increased a lot.

The small flame shook softly in the absence of wind.

With a flick of her hand, flames flew out of her fingers and fell straight to the bottom of the lake. Originally, Bai Yiquan thought that the flame would be extinguished with a "poof" the moment it touched the water of the pool, but who knew that it completely violated the rules of nature, cut the surface of the water, and went straight to the bottom of the pool.

Bai Yiquan's mouth grew in surprise, and his eyes looked directly at the flame.

A flame that burns in water.

It's like a bright lamp that tears through the darkness, and the grandeur at the bottom of the pool is lifted little by little. Bai Yiquan saw countless aquatic plants, entangled like a pair of withered hands stretched out from the bottom of the water, they seemed to feel the flames, and struggled to "grab" the flames.

Poof.

The flames were extinguished, and the faint light was once again consumed by darkness. The last scene captured by Bai Yiquan's eyeballs was the shadows of those aquatic plants slowly disappearing in the struggle, like the hands of evil spirits stretched out from hell.

Is it over?

Bai Yiquan let out a long breath and found that in those few short seconds, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Strange, why is this happening? What's that sense of oppression and fear?

Bai Yiquan thought of a classic term in later generations for no reason-deep-sea phobia. But no matter how exaggerated this pool is, it's only a few meters deep, and it has nothing to do with the deep sea anyway.

"What do you see?" asked Quintina again, "I see you have a strange look. ”

"No, nothing. Bai Yiquan touched his face, "Maybe I didn't rest last night." ”

"If you come less, it doesn't matter if you take a break or not, Tiantan gives people the feeling that this is it. Quintina whispered, "From the day I entered the academy, a senior sister warned me to stay away from this place. ”

Bai Yiquan subconsciously asked why.

Quintina shook her head and didn't speak. This is the first time that the witch has not answered Bai Yiquan's question head-on, and Bai Yiquan doesn't know if Kuntina doesn't want to say it, or if he doesn't know either.

"Then why are you still here alone?" Bai Yiquan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Can you see the bottom of the pond with the flame you just had?"

"I can't see it. Quintina didn't dodge the question again, "I don't have that strong ability yet, but it should be fine in a few years." When my abilities become stronger, I will be able to know what is at the bottom of the pool. ”

Bai Yiquan thought to himself, if it was Senior Sister Sakura, he could probably do it.

"You seem to be very attached to what is in the pool. Bai Yiquan said, "This is just a very ordinary pool, it's just a pit, which brings in the seawater outside." The bottom of the pond is just ordinary sediment and algae, what can be special? ”

Bai Yiquan didn't know if he was convincing Quintina or convincing himself. This kind of strange and chaotic thing, if you can contact it less, you can contact it less.

"I'll find out. Quintina replied briefly.

In horror movies, such a cute heroine usually ends up miserable.

Bai Yiquan complained silently in his heart. Seeing that the sun was already setting, he hurriedly picked up his broom and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, a rapid and short footsteps sounded in the Tiantan corridor, Bai Yiquan was startled, and subconsciously hid behind the wall.

Hey, why am I hiding? I'm not a servant here?

Sure enough, being a thief is a weak heart.

Seconds later, however, he was glad he had hidden. A familiar old woman's voice exploded in his ears: "Quintina, have you seen a stinky boy with a broom?"

Bai Yiquan's heart tightened, thinking that this was not the old witch he had seen before. Didn't she bring that Thomas into her room, why is she in trouble again?

Is it over, will Quintina confess herself? Has the old witch already drained Thomas and is now squeezing herself again?

He looked at Quintina with a pleading gaze. The latter did not change his face, did not even glance in his direction, but respectfully performed an impeccable etiquette: "Mentor Aldo, I have always been here alone. ”

"Don't see anyone else?"

"Not a single one. ”

"Well, it looks like that stinky boy didn't come here. Aldo said grimly, "Three outsiders have broken into our academy, and they are all dressed as servants. You should be careful that if you notice someone you don't know, report it to us immediately. ”

"Yes, Mentor Aldor. ”

"Well, you should go back quickly. Aldo gave Quintina one last look, "Soon the sun will set." ”

"I'll go back. ”

Quintina saluted again, and Aldo left. Listening to the old witch's footsteps gradually drifting away, Bai Yiquan was almost scared, in fact, as long as the old witch took a few more steps, Kuntina's lies would be ruthlessly exposed.

Fortunately, the old witch trusts Quintina, after all, the privilege of an honor student.

Kuntina looked at Bai Yiquan again and puffed out her mouth: "I knew you weren't simple." ”

Bai Yiquan scratched his head: "That, thank you." I'm really not a thief, I'm just here to investigate something, uh-huh, well, then I'll go first. ”

Quintina said leisurely, "If you dare to take a step, I will go out and tell Mentor Aldor." She hasn't gone far yet. ”

Bai Yiquan's body froze.
