Chapter 27: Mission Impossible
Beyond the neatly arranged filing cabinets, a small crowded world appeared in front of everyone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the corner of one side of the room, there is a black marble floor clock with elegant flower runes engraved on the silver-white dial. The charcoal-black pendulum swings unhurriedly, making a 'click' and 'click' sound.
In front of the grandfather clock, there is a huge spherical instrument. The surface of the sphere is painted with star patterns, and on the sturdy brass base, four dragon-shaped beasts glowing red are extending their claws, pushing the central sphere to slowly rotate.
On the other side of the room, a wooden casement window was closed, and silver-gray curtains were tightly bound to either side of the sash. Through the dim sky outside the window, you can see the pitch-black undulating canopy of the silent forest in the distance.
On the windowsill are pots of short-leaved orchids and narcissus, and perhaps because of neglect, the wide green leaves of these potted plants are covered in a layer of dust and look dusty.
On the low wall below the windowsill is a row of cardboard boxes, which are piled up with miscellaneous items. There are several striking red 'No Touch' warning signs on top of the debris.
In the center of the room is a huge desk. It occupies most of the space in this world. There are piles of paperwork cluttered on the table, and the colorful labels are tucked between them, making it look dizzying.
At the front of the tabletop, the bamboo-yellow pen holder is poured on the tabletop, and a few brushes are scattered with the nibs, lazily spitting black saliva. A bronze buffalo flicked its tail and lowered its head to lick the black ink clean.
There is a simple bird stand on the edge of the desk.
Two parrots squatted on the bird rack.
One is a tiger-skinned parrot that led the way for Zheng Qing and others.
The other is a red-bellied macaw with two heads.
At this moment, the red-bellied macaw was clutching a list and shouting:
"Alpha Academy Application Annual Hunting Ground Use Planner!"
"Atlas, a Wesleyan monk's request for independent placement from a Baptist class!"
"Patrol Department's duty schedule for next week!"
With each shout, a blue elf pulled out the corresponding document from the surrounding pile of documents and stacked it in the center of the table.
As the newlyweds squeezed through the mountain of papers to their desks, the budgie was biting on a straw and sipping juice. The red-bellied macaw's other head also bites a straw and competes with the budgie for water.
"There should really be an administrative office on the first floor!" the budgie flapped its wings and hummed vaguely, "The room of the 'Fishman Reserve Office' that was removed a few days ago is still empty, make a report and apply for a new office." ”
"It's that simple. The red-bellied macacock dropped the straw and complained, "That vacant office has been booked, and it is said that the 'Third Administrative Office' will be renamed the 'Office for the Coordination of Affairs' - God knows how many documents will be added to this mess of changes!"
"That's it!" the macaw tilted his head in agreement, reading the list.
"Don't stop, don't you want to leave work tonight!" an annoyed voice interrupted the resonance of the two birds.
The owner of the voice buried his head in the pile of papers, and Zheng Qing could only see his messy black hair.
Seeing the freshmen approaching, the red-bellied King Kong parrot coughed lightly.
Behind the desk, a tired face looked up from the pile of papers.
"Who are you?"
"Those freshmen who are fighting before they even enter the school!" explained the budgie with a roar.
This is this week's duty officer in the First Administrative Office, a junior at Star Academy, Heinz Liman. The red-bellied macaw slowly introduced it to the newcomers.
"Oh, let's get a volunteer labor assignment. With a sudden expression, Heinz pulled out a stack of documents from the drawer, stood up, and walked to several newcomers: "I've already prepared it for you." ”
He was tall and athletic, and his blue robe was tightly wrapped around him, making him look like a bodybuilding instructor.
"You're a great new life. The senior flipped through the file bag in his hand and sighed: "When we first entered the school, we were like a bunch of little quails, and we didn't dare to put our farts around." It's like you, the student ID card is still hot, and there is a generation gap!"
The newcomers are submissive and greet each other with smiling faces.
"Do you have your ID card and penalty notice?"
"Brought it. A few freshmen hurriedly agreed.
Zhang Jixin pulled out the crumpled notice and identity card from his trouser pocket.
Heinz pinched the corner of the notice and gave him a meaningful look.
Zhang Ji said twice with confidence.
Zheng Qing pulled out his notice from the gray cloth bag and smoothed the wrinkles on it vigorously.
"You're Lin Guo?" an exaggerated voice sounded in the office.
Zheng Qing raised his head, and Heinz was holding an identity card, looking at Lin Guo carefully.
Lin Guo hugged his small schoolbag and nodded nervously.
On the school bag, the bad-tempered mouse showed a flattering smile.
"I only heard his name, but I didn't see him. Today I finally met the legendary super genius who was in the same class as me!" The old student on duty patted Lin Guo's shoulder with emotion: "I don't usually come to the Starry Sky Academy to go around, many of us are worried about saying hello to you." ”
"No one let me go to Star Academy. Lin Guo's face turned a little green.
Zheng Qing thought so.
With the body of a little boy, it is estimated that he will not be able to withstand the first round of greetings from the Star Academy.
"To be reasonable, you're actually their senior!" the old student on duty looked at the other newcomers in the office with a smile.
"Senior!" Zheng Qing glanced at the thin figure and held back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
was also twelve years old, and he seemed to be so scared to pee his pants because he saw a ghost at that time, and Lin Guo had been auditing college courses at First University for two years.
"You don't need to call me senior," Lin Guo waved his hand in a panic, but the gray mouse in the schoolbag in his arms looked proud: "The first two years are actually not officially enrolled, and I am at the first level with you." ”
Zheng Qing hung his head and stopped talking, and this explanation stabbed him in the chest again.
Heinz flipped through the file bag and pulled out a notice:
"Blue, you go into the No. 114 Alchemy Laboratory, and after entering, look for Assistant Teacher Jin. Because he belonged to the same academy, the senior also gave him very enthusiastic advice: "Assistant Professor Jin is very kind, he mainly focuses on weapon enchantment, and it is estimated that the students of the Star Academy are going to strike iron." ”
Zheng Qing imagined the disobedience of the cold blue wielding a hammer, and couldn't help grinning.
"Zhang Jixin, go find Uncle Stendhal from Baicao Garden, he will arrange things for you. The senior shook his head, patted the red-faced boy's shoulder, and comforted: "Be careful in doing things in the garden, be careful, be careful, be careful." Don't cause trouble at home. ”
Zhang Jixin cried with a sad face and took his punishment notice.
Zheng Qing maliciously speculated whether the school specially selected people with the ability to pay to go to Baicao Garden.
"Xiao Xiao, go to the library to find Researcher Lin. ”
The watermelon-headed boy nodded quietly and tucked the penalty notice in his notebook.
The senior in the office glanced at the last two penalty notices, rubbed his eyes, and read them carefully.
"Impossible!" he muttered, grabbing two pieces of paper and running back to his desk, flipping through the back-up details to check the contents.
There was an unusual silence in the office.
Zheng Qing looked at Lin Guo and then at the other companions.
Xiao Xiao squinted, not knowing what he was thinking, Zhang Jixin scratched his head, also looking inexplicable, and Blue patted Lin Guo's head comfortingly.
"So, the last two classmates. Heinz stood behind his desk and shook the two slips in his hand affirmatively: "I thought there was a mistake in the transcription when it was issued, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"
"You guys have a bit of a hard time. ”
He lifted his eyelids and looked at the two nervous newcomers with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Zheng Qing, you go to the patrol team with Lin Guo, well, a place has been arranged for you, you join the night patrol team of Linzhong Lake, responsible for the night patrol mission from one to four o'clock in the morning. The hours are not fixed, but you will need to spare one day a week for patrol duty. ”
