In the afternoon, after meeting her tutor in her class, Scarlet invites the inexplicable Luo Qi to the academy's library.

"Six days later, it's time for the opening ceremony. Scarlet said as she picked up a book on the shelf.

"yes, but I don't think it has much to do with me. Luo Qi sat on the ground, bored flipping through a book.

"Didn't you?" said Scarlet, looking back at Luo Qi with a smile.

"I still don't, no. Luo Qi felt a little creepy.

"After the opening ceremony, there will be a test. Scarlet stacked the books she had taken down, one by one. "This test is designed to test the individual ability of the participants as well as their ability to work together as a team. ”

"And then. Luo Qi was indifferent.

"What do you say?" Scarlet crouched down and approached Roach.

"Hey, you don't want to tell me to go!" Luo Qi moved a few steps back, "You know, I don't know any magic, and my personal ability is almost zero, so I'm not going to go, I'm going to be embarrassed." No kidding. ”

"It's not that I told you to go, but that all the new students have to go. Scarlet shook her head, "It's just that we can team up on our own, and I mean, you have to go after all, so it's better for a few of us who know each other to go together." ”

Luo Qi frowned and thought for a moment, "Aren't you afraid that I will hold back?"

"I don't believe you're going to be holding back. Scarlet smiled and pulled Luo Qi up from the ground, "Alright, let's go." ”

"Hey, that's what you called me for, why don't you say that while we're all together. Luo Qi was very dissatisfied, he originally wanted to go to the academy in the afternoon.

"Because," Scarlet said, 'Take it,' and tossed the book to Roach, "I'm going to find someone to help me carry it." ”

At night.

It was almost time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, and Luo Qi felt a little irritable, so he ran out alone.

Sitting under the starry night, Luo Qi looked at some of the sparse people on the street and fell into deep thought.

What is Yuechen's identity?Does he have anything to do with someone in the academy?Who is Scarlet?Luo Qi felt that she had known her from the beginning, and asking for her name was just a way to open the conversation. Also, what are the secrets of oneself? What are those dusty pasts? Now that they have been sealed in the dust, how can they find the past?

The more Luo Qi thought about it, the more he felt a headache, as if there were countless torrents tearing at his brain, and his thoughts were as muddy as a whirlpool, "Forget it." Luo Qi stood up from the lawn and patted the grass seeds on his body, "These problems will be solved by me after all, let's take it step by step" Luo Qi thought for a while, and prepared to go to the dormitory.

"Huh?" Just as Luo Qi was about to leave, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision. "Hey, Carmen, where are you going?" asked Roach.

Carmen is also a special student, carrying the magic of fusing elements, and met in the afternoon classroom.

"Oh, it's Loki, haven't you been back to your dorm yet?" asked Carmen.

"I'm going to go back," said Roach, "what about you?

"Yan Ming said that he had something to tell me and let me go. ”

"Yan Ming?" Luo Qi frowned, he remembered that when he came out, Yan Ming was in the bedroom. "Is it Yan Ming?"

"That's right, it's him. With that, Carmen took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, "Oh, it's not early, I'm going back to the dormitory, goodbye." With that, Carmen turned and left.

Luo Qi looked at Carmen's distant back, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Back to the dormitory.

Luo Qi just stepped back to the dormitory, and saw that Yan Ming and Renault were in the dormitory, and Luo Qi only learned in the afternoon that this Renault was not only Revic's younger brother, but also the son of Torresman Leant, the general provost of the college, and directly asked for the three of them to be arranged in the same dormitory.

"Hey! I'm back. Yan Ming said to Luo Qi.

"Hmm. Luo Qi answered, and then asked, "By the way, Yan Ming, have you seen Carmen again after you left the classroom today?"

"Carmen?" Yan Ming thought for a moment.

"It's the one who recruits special students, the one who will fuse the elements. Renault said.

"Oh, remember, he's pretty good at that. Yan Ming said, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with him?"

"What didn't you talk about past him?" Luo Qi asked again.

"Strange thing!" Yan Ming smiled, "I don't know him very well, why do I have to say something to him?

"I just ran into him, and he went to the back of the school and said you had something to tell him. Luo Qi's face was a little ugly.

"Strange, could it be that someone is trying to pretend to be Yan Ming?" asked Renault suspiciously.

Luo Qi shook his head, indicating that he did not understand. Yan Ming was also silent, feeling that this matter was not so simple.

"Well, let's go to him tomorrow and find out about it. "But I always have some bad premonitions."

"Well, don't think too much about it, maybe someone's prank, tomorrow we'll find out why. Yan Ming said.

Luo Qi didn't speak, just nodded silently, and lay down on his bed.

"Good night" "Hmm. Evening, Ann. ”

Speechless all night.

Following.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Luo Qi was sitting alone on the lawn outside the apartment drinking milk.

"Luo Qi!" Suddenly someone called his name, Luo Qi turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him—his mentor. Fermi Barba.

"Hello, Mr. Mentor. Luo Qi stood up.

"It's so laid-back, I wanted to have a quiet time in the morning, but alas," Fermi smiled and shook his head.

"Well, haven't there been no classes these days, I want to get used to life here first. Luo Qi scratched his head.

"It's a good thing," Fermi said, "and it's good for you to get used to the school environment." After saying that, Fermi looked at the quartz watch on his wrist, "By the way, Roach, did you see Carmen yesterday?"

"Huh?" Luo Qi frowned, "what's wrong with him?"

"I received a report from his roommate this morning, he didn't come back all night last night and hasn't come back until today, I heard his roommate say that he went to the back of the school, just passing by you, I don't know if you noticed?"

"Sizzle" Luo Qi took a breath of cool air, but he didn't expect something bad to happen. "I did see him, he, he said that Yan Ming had something to tell him, but mentor, Yan Ming had been in the dormitory last night and didn't go out. ”

"Hey" After listening to Luo Qi's words, Fermi sighed, "I understand, okay, excuse me." I'll go first."

"Mentor walk slowly" Luo Qi wanted to wave his hand, but he lifted it halfway, but he didn't lift it up after all, and he heard a sense of sadness in Fermi's voice.

In the afternoon, Rocky hears of Carmen's death.

The corpse was found in the back mountain, with many traces of being bitten, as if it had been attacked by a wild beast.

Yan Ming was called to the provost's office.

Yan Ming didn't have a nervous demeanor before he went: "I didn't do it, why am I nervous?" Yan Ming sighed, "All we can do now is to pay silent tribute to Carmen and find the murderer at the school."

Luo Qi began to feel puzzled, what the hell was going on? On the first day of school, someone died? Walking on the road, Luo Qi seemed to feel a gray breath flowing in the air.

He walked through the academy to the back door of the school, outside which was a wooded field, and not far away was a small mountain range, another mountain range that stretched over the Carizaros mountain range, where Carmen's body was found.

Why did he run somewhere? Luo Qi was puzzled

"That's the Shadow Mountains. ”

"Huh?" the sudden voice startled Luo Qi, and when he turned around, Scarlet was standing behind him. "Shadow Mountains?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. There was not the slightest smile on Scarney's face, as if she was also mourning for the dead Carmen, "The sun is obscured, the time is obscured, there is only shadow there, and those who enter can only get lost in it." ”

Luo Qi pondered, but did not speak.

"You know what?" said Scarney, her little shoe kicking the pebbles under her feet, "this isn't the first death there's ever been an incident. ”

"What?" Luo Qi was stunned, could it be that the same thing had happened?

"Fifty years ago, there was a huge war between the human race and the demon race, and in the end, the human race won, and the academy was established on this basis. Scarlet looked at the sky, as if reminiscing about her past, "It's been nearly forty years since the establishment of the academy, and it has always been a normal order, but since five years ago, these bizarre deaths have begun to occur in the academy. ”

"Five years ago?" Luo Qi muttered to himself.

"Every time it was found in that mountain range, the academy made that mountain range a forbidden area, called the Shadow Mountain Range. Scarlet turned and looked at Luo Qi, "And, you know what, every time someone dies, it's a special enrollment!"

Luo Qi was shocked, "That's not my kind of thing."

"Yes," Scarlet looked down, looking at the furrows she had kicked out of the ground.

Locky was lost in thought, there was only a limit to what Scarlet had told him, but he still wanted to try to find a clue.

"Luoqi!" Scarlet looked up, her delicate face already raining pear blossoms.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, don't, don't cry. Rocky was in a hurry, he didn't know how to comfort people.

"Please, you must find out who did it, there are not many special recruits every year, they are very important to the country, they can't go on like this, only you, only you can do it!" Scarlet suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Luo Qi's arm tightly, and said in a choked voice.

That's right! Important! Luo Qi seemed to grasp something, and felt as if a glimmer of light appeared in front of him.

"Luo Qi, what's wrong with you?" Scarlet Ni noticed that Luo Qi was stunned, looking at him with teary eyes.

"Oh, it's nothing," Rocky came back to her senses and smiled at Scarney, "don't worry, I'll do my best." ”

"Thank you, Rocky, thank you," Scarlet said gratefully, "Ah, and you must be careful, you are also a special student, and I am afraid that you will also be in danger." ”

"Rest assured, no one can plot against me, because, in this regard, I have not yet met an opponent. Luo Qi nodded his head and said with a smile.

"But you have to be careful, I think there must be a very powerful person" said Scarlet, and Scarlet suddenly began to tremble, "Maybe maybe maybe maybe it wasn't human"

"I can't die. Luo Qi said confidently, "I still have a lot of things to do, and I won't die here, and the first thing I need to do now is to find that person, or someone who is not human!"

After speaking, Luo Qi waved his hand, said I will go first, and left, leaving you alone, looking at Luo Qi's thin back in a daze.
