Chapter 10: Witnesses

Zheng Qing closed his eyes in horror.

A biting chill hit his face, but it made him stick his eyelids a little tighter.

Long.

When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but be in a trance.

In front of me is no longer the wet Linzhong Lake.

Green smoke and orange warmth.

He didn't know when he had returned to the dean's office of the Nine Beings Academy.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, in a moment, the terrifying figure in his mind disappeared, leaving only a slender hand, the dead little white cat, and the indescribable feeling of palpitations.

"I see!" he cried, leaping from the soft leather chair, the words being swallowed back again.

Professor Yao sat behind his desk, arms crossed, pipe in his mouth, his head once again enveloped in billowing green smoke.

Next to the desk, at some point, stood an old school worker in a gray robe, wearing reading glasses, patiently, turning through Zheng Qing's inspection report page by page.

Hearing the young wizard's shout, the two old men raised their heads in unison, revealing curious looks.

"What do you see?" asked Lao Yao, taking the pipe away from his mouth, gently.

Zheng Qing opened his mouth, his brows furrowed tightly.

"I forgot ......" In the end, his face showed a helpless look, and he said with annoyance: "I remember it clearly just now, but I forgot it all in a blink of an eye...... It's just a terrible thing to remember. ”

"Terrible. The old school worker bit the word and asked in a very loud and clear voice, "Is it related to school safety?"

Zheng Qing hesitated and nodded slowly.

"It should be related," he said in an uncertain tone, "I feel it should be related to demons......"

Lao Yao suddenly let out a loud coughing sound, interrupting the young public-funded student's further description.

"I think I should tell you the test results before you confirm it. The professor knocked on the table and said with a smile, "As for school safety...... Which safety incident at the first university has nothing to do with demons?"

The old schoolworker's gray eyebrows were raised, but he did not speak.

"Based on your post-sleep surveillance, we have a good degree of certainty that you are an 'eyewitness'. Lao Yao shook out the conclusion very simply, and at the same time handed over a few pages of documents across the table: "To be precise, it is 93% sure." ”

The soft pages seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and slowly, steadily, floated in front of Zheng Qing.

"That's precise," muttered the young scholar, his gaze falling on the pages of papers.

Dense formulas, data, and graphs poured into his eyes like a tidal wave, endlessly.

He quickly gave up trying to figure out the pages.

Raising his head and looking at Lao Yao's encouraging gaze, he asked tentatively, "What is the 7% possibility?"

"It's some not-so-good results. The old school worker next to him interrupted Zheng Qing's inquiry in a rough voice, turned his head to look at Lao Yao, and asked in a loud voice, "Do you need to tell him?"

"No way, no way. The professor waved his hand repeatedly.

Zheng Qing laughed a few times and did not continue to ask.

But another question quickly came to his mind.

"What is ......?" he carefully repeated, recalling the words the professor had just used, "Witnesses?"

This question has been explained in great detail.

'Eyewitnesses' are a special kind of divination ability.

In other words, a wizard with this ability can use certain advanced divination techniques without training.

Although the science of divination has gradually moved away from the occult after thousands of years of development, there are still many unsolved mysteries in this science that puzzle wizards.

For example, the difference between 'vision'.

Different shamans can learn the same divination techniques, but they can see different images when they are divining.

A wizard who only has an ordinary vision can also draw vague conclusions and get vague statements such as 'good luck' or 'great murder' when all the elements are in place.

Most of the soothsayers in the wizarding world fall into this category, and they can only continue to practice those complicated and difficult divination skills to be a decent diviner.

Wizards with special vision are different.

They can see clearer pictures and draw more precise conclusions.

These special visions include tortoise shells, celestial eyes, crystal balls, astrological signs, clouds and smoke, the dregs of tea, and even dreams.

Over the course of the long development of witchcraft, wizards have planned different careers for these different visions.

For example, omniscience, such as prophets, such as observers, listeners, or witnesses.

As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, dreams in the night, and many elements of divination can be obtained in dreams. Wizards whose vision is part of the dream realm can become witnesses.

In their dreams, they can perfectly trace certain memorable or unforgettable events, perfectly simulating everything that happened at that time, as if they were witnessing it at the time.

This is the most direct reason why wizards named this special talent 'Eyewitness'.

In a sense, their spirit is actually crossing the river of time.

But just as prophets cannot see what is happening in the future anytime and anywhere, the vast majority of eyewitnesses can only touch a few broken scenes under specific circumstances.

"Even if it's just a broken scene, it's a very amazing fact. ”

Lao Yao seemed to be very satisfied with the test results, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, like a huge chrysanthemum: "Many witnesses will be recruited by the Security Investigation Bureau...... Because each of you has the potential to be a good police detective. ”

"The dreams of veteran witnesses can even be used as evidence in court for the Supreme Court of Wizards. The old school worker on the side wasted no time in adding, and at the same time handed Zheng Qing a form.

"What is this?" the young student took the piece of paper in a daze.

"First University Special Talent Registration Form. The old school worker read out the name on the head of the form one by one, nodded, and said, "As the name suggests...... All students with special talents will be registered at the school. ”

"This is both a responsibility to the wizarding world, after all, wizards with these abilities are valuable assets of the wizarding world. Lao Yao also explained beside him: "I am still responsible for the students." ”

"Only First University has the ability and resources to uncover the secrets behind these talents for you. ”

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

He took out his brush from the gray cloth bag and licked it.

"Do I have to fill in the information above?" he looked at the 'Do you have adult experience' option on the form, and his face ached.

"The asterisk is required. Other optional fields are fine. ”

The young scholar breathed a sigh of relief, and the tip of his pen immediately skipped the strange question.
