The sound of low footsteps in the corridor came and went, kicking and tapping, mixed with echoes, which made people feel irritated from the bottom of their hearts.

Zheng Qing followed behind Lao Yao, his expression a little tangled.

The conversation between the professor and him outside the break room had been ringing in his ears just a few minutes earlier.

“...... The statistics have come out, the Sin Hunter has hunted the most demons, and you are the captain of Sin Sins, so now you need to come to the stage to receive the award. ”

"While the members of the jury have some slight disagreement about where your 'loot' came from, you're the best relative to the other hunting teams. ”

"There's no doubt about that. ”

"As for the big black cat, don't follow it to the stage, it's not in the official establishment of your hunting team, and its appearance is also unsightly, and it may cause unnecessary disturbances if it appears rashly......"

Lao Yao was babbling beside him, and the more Zheng Qing listened, the more he didn't feel good.

The blue that was swallowed by the wolf demon, Xiao Xiao, who was bitten by the monkey demon, and Andrew, who was dragged into the bottom of the pool by the water demon, their voices and smiles kept appearing in front of him, making the young wizard's mood worse and worse.

Finally, when the professor mentioned that Zheng Qing should prepare his acceptance speech, Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but interrupt the professor's words, and asked with a little anger: "Professor, did you catch that puppeteer?"

With such a big incident and so many deaths, are they still in the mood to hold a commendation meeting? I'm afraid that the brains of these old wizards are not caught by the door!

Zheng Qing thought maliciously, and became more and more annoyed in his heart-what kind of acceptance speech should he think about at this time? What are you kidding!

However, hearing his questioning, Lao Yao's expression was also a little stunned: "Puppeteer?"

The professor repeated the word.

Obviously, he didn't realize that Zheng Qing would ask such a question.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the professor finally reacted, took out his pipe, bit it in his mouth and smashed it a few times.

One bite, two bites, three bites.

As two puffs of white smoke erupted from his nostrils, the professor finally couldn't help himself and smiled.

"You're the dumbest public scholarship student I've ever met. He bit his pipe, said indistinctly, slapped Zheng Qing on the back twice, smiled, and added: "Whether it is the choice in the hunting ground or the reaction now, it is the most stupid - there is no one." ”

"But this stupidity is also what the school, especially Jiuyou Academy, appreciates the most. ”

"If you're not a little stupid, how can you call it a real 'nerd'?!"

Although the professor seemed to be reproaching him, he did not hide the meaning of appreciation in and out of his words. This made the mind of the young wizard, who was already a little dazed, even more confused.

Xu noticed Zheng Qing's expression, and Lao Yao finally did not continue to sell Guanzi, but replied very simply:

"The puppeteer doesn't need to be caught, it's the old man of the school, and he's staying longer than more than ninety percent of the people in this school. ”

"The freshman race didn't go wrong, it all went according to plan......"

"Originally?" Zheng Qing immediately noticed the professor's words.

"yes, originally. The professor paused, and a hint of anger resurfaced on his face: "According to the original plan, you should face the challenges of different demons in the hunting grounds. ”

"Those who fly in the sky, those who run on the ground, those who swim in the water, those who walk alone, those who live in groups, those who are good at hand-to-hand combat, those who are good at illusion, and so on, should be one after another, one group after another, increasing in intensity and number...... Until death. ”

"The hunting team that can hold on to the end is the ultimate winner we expected. ”

"It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes...... The change is starting to happen because of you. ”

"Because of me?" Zheng Qing pointed to his nose, looking innocent, and at the same time there was an annoyance in his heart that he had been deceived. To be reasonable, if it weren't for the professor to explain in person now, he would have been kept in the dark all the time, how could he mess up the hunting game?!

"Yes, it's because of you. The professor turned his face sideways, looked at the young wizard with a strange gaze, and finally shook his head and explained, "I don't know why, but in fact, the time you spent in the hunting ground attracted almost all the demons in the field. ”

Zheng Qing couldn't help but touch his right eye, and a trace of gloom flashed in his heart.

But Lao Yao's next sentence made the haze in his heart dissipate and replaced it with an MMP.

"It's a good thing if you're eaten by those demons," the professor said with a few puffs of smoke rings, "at least then our freshman tournament can go on normally." ”

If I am eaten by a demon, I will not let you go if I become a ghost.

Zheng Qing thought silently in his heart. However, when he thought that ordinary ghosts didn't seem to have much effect on a great wizard like Lao Yao, he couldn't help but feel a little more depressed.

“...... You have the help of that big black cat and you survive. ”

"But the prey we prepared for you, the demons, are dead. ”

"A hunting race, if the prey is gone, what is it ?...... The other hunting teams have already been eliminated by you before they even start. It's a tragedy. ”

"Of course, after the 'slaughterhouse' incident, that is, the big black cat slaughtered wantonly, there are still cats and dogs in the hunting grounds. But it's a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't work for the other hunting teams. ”

"No matter how hard the other hunting teams try, it will be in vain, and the final loot will definitely not be as rich as yours. ”

"At that time, the people of the hunting committee had already started to hold a discussion with the school about whether to interrupt the competition early and call you rabbit cubs back. ”

"But......" Zheng Qing silently added the turning word in his heart, and at the same time tilted his shoulders quietly.

"But," Sure enough, Lao Yao patted the young wizard on the shoulder again, puffed out a few puffs of white smoke, and snorted, "But you actually provoked that demon dragon again—— this is also the second accident I want to talk about." ”

"You know, every demon beast in the hunting ground is registered with the school - those demons are all special prey domesticated by the school, and they are marked by us from the inside out. ”

"In addition, the school also dispatched professionals led by the teaching assistant group and supplemented by all registered hunting teams to search the whole field to ensure that there are no 'accidental' remnants of wild demons in that hunting ground...... But after a lot of investigation, the demon dragon was not found in the end. ”

"The people in charge of the hunting ground inspection should be beaten severely!"

Hearing this, Zheng Qing was suddenly stunned.

No wonder Lao Yao was so angry before, and Thomas acted like a quail.

He finally understood the dead man's expression when Mr. TA saw him, and what he meant.

“...... This means that if a few of you little ones are killed or eaten by the demon dragon in the hunting grounds, then there is really no place to die...... Unless we ask our headmaster to pull back the timeline, you're going to die and you can't die again. ”

"So halfway through our discussion, it ended abruptly – and then the school arranged for a group of teaching assistants to come in and interrupt the freshman competition early. ”

Lao Yao's words were more and more deafening.

Zheng Qing listened, and his heart seemed to be trampled by tens of thousands of soaring alpacas. Although it explained many of his doubts, it also brought him more confusion.
