At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, there is still a lot of daytime life on campus—students studying hard in the study room, students doing experiments in front of the stage, students walking and chatting under the street lamps, students tryst in the woods, and so on.

But today is not one of those days.

Because of the Xia Yuan Festival, the curfew of the school has not completely stopped, and at this moment, the school seems to be a little deserted, except for some students who are ordered to patrol around, it is rare to see the figure of wandering around.

Except for some 'idle critters' who are neither wizards nor pets, although they also live in this school, they are not students after all, they are not subject to the ban, and as long as they don't care about the dangerous smell in the air outside, whether it is the patrol or the school committee, they will turn a blind eye to these wandering figures.

This is also the reason why Zheng Qingneng walked through the empty small square and crossed the quiet Linzhong Lake, and he could still come to the office building to stroll around on such a night.

After leaving the dormitory, according to the established plan, Zheng Qing went straight to the office building, trying to find the professors to help him palm his eyes and see what happened to him - this kind of thing is the most suitable for Lao Yao, if Lao Yao is not found, Professor Yi of the divination class is also a good candidate. No matter how bad it is, it is not impossible for Zheng Qing to pinch his nose and enter Professor Li's office once.

It's just that the plan is always very good, and the reality is always full of surprises.

For example, Lao Yao is not in his office, for example, Professor Yi is not in his office, and Professor Li is not in his office. The huge office building looks jet black from the outside, without a trace of light.

Zheng Qing still didn't give up and squeezed into the building through the crack in the door, trying to struggle. But whether it is the hall on the first floor, or the corridors on the left and right, it is a dark and dark world, without a trace of light or a trace of human figures.

There were a few milky ghosts, miserable and miserable, wandering through the corridors, occasionally passing by the black cat, always carefully bypassing it, and nothing more - it was impossible to ask them any questions, and these empty-headed creatures were indifferent to anything that happened around them, except to tell the story of their own death over and over again.

Zheng Qing also tried to find the door god to inquire about the whereabouts of the professors.

"Password!" After hearing the black cat's question, the god hanging on the door of Lao Yao's office shouted.

"Huh?" The black cat squatted in front of the door, his ears pulled into an airplane, blinking, and a blank expression: "What password?!"

"Let's answer the question of the password. Yu Lei leaned on the white tiger, lowered his head, looked at the black cat with sleepy eyes, and yawned big: "...... You don't think that if you ask a random question, we have to answer honestly. Not to mention you're just a cat. ”

"What's wrong with cats, discriminating against cats. Zheng Qing wrinkled his nose, raised his paw and scratched his chin, feeling a little worried in his heart.

Naturally, he didn't know the password, after all, he was just a white body, and he had not held any position in the student union or other institutions of the school, so he didn't have a chance to know the password of the professor's office door god.

"Password!" Shen Tu, who was standing on the peach talisman, paused heavily on the halberd in his hand and asked again.

Before Zheng Qing could speak, the white tiger, who was originally lying behind Yu Lei, suddenly stood up, opened his eyes wide, and roared: "What a rat, dare to be a monster in front of this god!"

"You can also speak!" Hearing the roar of the white tiger, Zheng Qing suddenly became interested, and involuntarily wagged his tail, looking at the white tiger curiously, quite a feeling that he was not alone.

The white tiger, including the two door gods, Shen Tu Yu Lei, didn't know anything about the emotion of the black cat under the door. At the moment, their attention was not on this noisy little black cat.

With a low humming prayer, a thin layer of golden light appeared on the surface of the wooden door, and then quickly expanded. It seemed to envelop the entire building in an instant, and the peach talismans of all the door gods were connected.

"Squeak!" A piercing scream sounded around the corner of the hallway, startling the black cat who was looking left and right, and turned his head to lean against the wooden door, looking warily at the corner.

Before long, a low chanting voice came from the wooden door behind him: "Shi Chunxi!"

A little white light suddenly appeared in the dark corridor, suddenly expanding and shining brightly, illuminating the originally dark world extremely brightly. Several ghosts, who were about to cross through the wall, shrieked and retracted behind the wall under this white light, while shouting curses at the door god who cast the spell.

"You still know magic?!" Zheng Qing felt the light blooming around him, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking at the door god hanging in the talisman. He felt that his understanding had been turned upside down today, even in time for the day he first met Thomas.

The door gods still ignored him.

Zheng Qing naturally will not be indiscriminate and continue to make trouble at this time.

Under the white light, around the corner, a big mouse with a pointed head and round ears and a long tail appeared in front of everyone.

Zheng Qing's eyes, which were originally squinted because of the strong light, involuntarily widened.

As an adult with eighteen years of life experience, Zheng Qing is no stranger to mice. This kind of little thing hiding in the gutter and stealing food has never been loved by people. Even in the wizarding world, the reputation of the rat doesn't seem to improve much. This is clear from the students' pets - many wizards keep cats as companions, but very few raise rats as pets.

It's just that, unlike the mouse in Zheng Qing's impression, the mouse that appeared in the office building was dressed.

Yes, the rat wore a red vest.

The waistcoat is small, the hem reaches just above the tail of a mouse, and the placket has no buttons, but a delicate zipper. There are no pockets on the vest, but a small backpack on the back of the vest makes up for it.

The black mouse in the red vest seemed to be blinded by the bright light, bent over, and groped on the ground for a long time before standing up trembling against the wall.

"Squeak...... Squeak!" it squeaked and screamed, looking at its expression, as if it was cursing something.

The door gods, who were originally full of confidence, seemed to remember something after seeing the mouse's dress and hearing its scream, and they all retracted their breath, retracted into the peach charm on the door, and began to pretend to sleep.

"Excuse me, can anyone tell me what that rat does?" Zheng Qing raised his paw and knocked on the wooden door beside him.

The white tiger closed his eyes and lowered his ears, like a stone sculpture, Shen Tu sat on the side, with an expression of wandering outside the world, and Yu Lei, although he continued to be on duty with his arms and his face drooping, he also turned a deaf ear to the black cat's problems.

The mouse squeaked for a long time, and perhaps shouted that he was tired, but he also let out his anger, and even flicked his tail, turned a corner, and left the corridor directly.

The black cat hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gave up on communicating with the few dead objects hanging on the door, jumped up briskly, and followed the trail of the mouse.

This mouse looks funny.

And cats, like interesting things the most.

Besides, catching mice or something should be a cat's vocation.

The black cat thought happily, completely forgetting the doctor's advice to him not long ago to 'don't make trouble', and only focused on chasing his interests and satisfying his curiosity.
