Chapter 43 can be said to be very similar
In the late autumn and early winter evenings, a thick chill has already begun to flow in the air.
The insects that used to chirp in the grass and crevices of the rocks have long since burrowed into the deeper and warmer parts of the soil to hibernate. Outside the window, except for the cold moonlight and sparse starlight, only the sound of the wind and the rustle of a few dead leaves after they fell to the ground.
Nine schools, boys' dormitory, room 403.
At the desk.
Dr. Xiao Da and Xin Fatzi sat opposite each other on either side of the desk.
The heavy notebook was spread out in front of the doctor, and several shorthand quill quills of different colors and thicknesses were dancing on the pages in an orderly manner, making notes. And Xiao Xiao smiled himself, crossed his hands, supported his chin, and stared ahead with a serious expression.
Opposite him, the fat man sat cross-legged on his bed, across the narrow aisle between the desk and the bed, and was looking forward with his neck protruded, his brow twisted into a pimple.
Between the two, on the big red desk, two cats were lying on the table weakly, competing with each other to see who was thinner. The lively elves screamed and flew around the two cats, cheering them on.
Of course, this was more of the fat cat's thoughts—as an adult wizard, Zheng Qingcai refused to admit that he would compete with a cat and play such a mentally retarded game—and he had more important things to consider.
At this moment, Zheng Qing had already shrunk his body to a height of thirty centimeters. At this height, the amount of mana consumed is not much, and the impact on the other 'lives' in this room is relatively small, so it will not make others feel uncomfortable.
"I still recommend going to the professor...... The current situation is not something we can solve on our own. Xiao Xiao straightened up, lowered his arm, tapped his fingers alternately on the notebook, and added quickly: "Professor Li of pharmacy is a good choice, he has a good temper and strong professional ability, and he will definitely give Brother Qing a satisfactory answer." ”
"Professor Li?" Xin Fat immediately objected, "Let's not say whether you are willing to enter his office or not, and I don't think about whether the professor is still in the office...... From the school's point of view, if the professor finds that a student has taken 'restricted drugs' without permission, it is not a matter of deducting a few credits!"
Xiao Xiao sighed slightly and did not continue to speak.
Because what the fat man said was justified - Professor Li's office, with its bad smell and bad environment, has become a place that most students at First University are afraid of, and the unauthorized use of 'restricted drugs' is no longer a violation of school rules and discipline, but an illegal act listed in the "Wizarding Code".
"But we can't just sit like that all the time. Xiao Xiao took off her glasses, rubbed her face, and her tone showed a bit of exhaustion: "It is impossible for a wizard to achieve the three conditions of free transformation of species, independence of will, and stability of magic at the same time...... Brother Qing has achieved the conditions for the free transformation of the species and the stability of the magic power, that is to say, whether his current 'will' is complete or not is a very debatable matter. ”
"It's simple. The fat man lifted his double chin, reached out and took out a small dried fish from the watch storage, reached to the edge of the desk, and tempted: "Mimi...... Meow... Eat...... Meow meow..."
At the same time, he also tilted his head sideways and looked at Xiao Xiao with a wistful expression: "If Brother Qing eats my little dried fish, it means that his 'cat nature' is greater than his 'human nature', and his independence of will must have been affected, otherwise..."
"Instead, you'll get two cats scratching a scar on the face. The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched: "Who gave you the courage to tease the cat in front of the two of them?" Even if Brother Qing has become a cat, but it is also a cat turned into a wizard, how can it be ......?"
"How can you see dried fish and not eat it? A slightly hoarse voice sounded coldly on the desk, startling the two wizards who were arguing.
Before they could come back to their senses, the black cat had already jumped up, re-evolved from a puddle of cat cakes to a black cat, and with a wave of its white paws, it hooked the dried fish in the fat man's hand close to his mouth.
The fat cat got up from the desk after realizing it, shook his head and leaned over to the black cat, shook his ears, sneezed, and had an expression of 'half of the meeting'.
The black cat hesitated for a few seconds, lifted the meat pad, popped out a paw, and with a light wave, the dried fish was neatly divided into two halves. Then it pushes half of it in front of the fat cat.
Tuan Tuan snorted in satisfaction, lowered his head, and began to nibble on this unearned snack.
After eating the dried fish, the black cat leaned over to his cup and licked a few mouthfuls of water, before he looked impatiently at the fat man who was in a daze not far away, and shouted, "Dried fish...... Is there any dried fish just now? I changed my body for a long time, and my stomach was a little hungry again. ”
As if to prove his words, the black cat's stomach purred at the right time.
"Gollum. The fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva loudly, his neck turned stiffly thirty degrees, and he looked at Xiao Xiao, his voice was a little ethereal: "Doctor...... I'm not dreaming, I'm definitely dreaming! Where is there a cat that can get bigger and smaller, and talk? ”
Compared with the fat man, Xiao Xiao's performance is much calmer.
"Since it can get bigger and smaller, it's not a strange thing to be able to talk. Dr. Xiao lifted his glasses, and the expression on his face became more and more interested: "...... Hey, can you understand us?"
"Nonsense! You two are not talking bird language, why don't you understand...... Also, don't call me hey, call me 'black brother' or 'cat brother', understand? The black cat—or Zheng Qing—agreed impatiently, turned his head and raised his little white paw and waved at the fat man: "Dried fish! Hurry up and take it out! Otherwise, I'll let Tuan Tuan scratch you all night!"
Next to it, the fat cat arched its back very cooperatively, and a threatening sound came out of its throat.
The fat man was decisive and quickly took out a large plate of small dried fish from his watch.
"Since you can speak, why didn't you speak earlier?" Xiao Xiao asked persistently, and the few quills on the notebook danced more and more happily.
"I just realized that I can speak. Zheng Qing bit the dried fish, his comfortable ears were flattened, and when he heard the doctor's question, he replied vaguely: "Originally, I thought I couldn't speak...... But suddenly I remembered that a guy could talk, so I gave it a try...... The results are really good. ”
"A certain guy?" Xiao Xiao immediately noticed a vague word from Zheng Qing.
"Can't say, can't say. The black cat waved its claws again and again, looking non-negotiable: "Lao Yao won't let me say it casually...... Of course, you guessed it, I don't care. ”
"Oh, it's the big black cat that your shadow has turned into! it can speak...... It's amazing indeed. Dr. Xiao really understood it at one point, and immediately woke up to Zheng Qing's words.
