Every summer, federal colleges and universities always organize various cultural and recreational activities. The 'Three Schools League' jointly organized by the three schools is no less than a large-scale festival celebration, with dinners, dance parties, and singing competitions all of which are indispensable.

The light blue night is dotted with stars, and the lights of Honeysuckle University are lit up, and students in costumes talk and laugh together as they walk to the Gothic spire-style auditorium.

Most of the students who attended the dinner dance party had already found a dance partner, either from another school, or a long-time crusher, or simply a dormitory member.

However, not finding a dance partner is not necessarily a bad thing, just like the 'Three Schools League' every year, there are always many couples from different schools, and single young people have a lot of opportunities to meet at the ball.

Although the love period of this type of couple is quite short...... But it is also enough for many young boys and girls with their hearts rippling to take out their best outfits, hold their heads high, and step into the auditorium.

Two days ago, the first round of the 'Three Schools League' came to an end, and the representative team of Honeysuckle shined in the 'Labyrinth Break' project.

The captain of Honeysuckle, a girl with a high ponytail wearing a red and black coat, left a deep impression on the teachers and students of the three universities.

For a while, the three colleges and universities continued to discuss Jolena, and with her beautiful appearance and heroic style, her status in the hearts of the students of the three schools also soared.

However, surprisingly, compared to boys, girls showed a stronger enthusiasm for Jolena.

On the forum, girls frequently made a special trip to inquire who Jolena's dance partner was, but in the end Jolena ignored them.

At that time, she was busy checking the suspicious people on the dance list with Professor Lin, and said that there was a need for on-site investigation, so she invited Lin Xiao to attend together.

"Don't get me wrong." Jolene said coldly, "I hate red tape, and I hate the atmosphere of banquets, but it's work...... With you, I'll be a little more natural. ”

Her tone gradually slightened, but Lin Xiao didn't hear it and accepted it generously.

Just to accompany you doesn't mean you have to dance together.

And she had a point.

Chu Yun was busy analyzing the intelligence over there, and I didn't know anything about it, so it was more suitable for me to conduct field investigations.

Night falls.

The ball will be held in the auditorium at eight o'clock tonight, and the time is approaching.

The auditorium's dance floor is lit with solid wood parquet, buffet tables are stocked with food and juice drinks, magic cards are projected with near-real light and shadow, and unicorns and winged Pegasi roam the auditorium.

"This unicorn image is so well done, it's realistic."

The Red Lion student tried to touch the unicorn, but was knocked down by the unicorn, and his eyes widened in surprise, only to see that the unicorn had its card withdrawn.

"I'm sorry." The beautiful girl with long blond wavy hair said apologetically, "This is my unicorn... It loved the vibe, so I let it out for a while... I'm really sorry. ”

"Nope." The Red Lion student looked at the blonde girl and muttered, "I'm fine......"

It would be nice to be able to talk to Hetty of the tulip, and then be kicked by the unicorn twice!

Hetty is the main starter of Tulip this year, and the trump card is the spirit card "Unicorn".

And her dance partner, a young man with sun-like blond hair, named 'Juventus', is the captain of Tulips this year.

Juventus again apologized to the Red Lion student who had been kicked down, and the Red Lion student waved his hand and looked in the direction of his captain.

There was a young man with a cold and arrogant temperament standing in the corridor, curled black hair covering his forehead, a pair of blue eyes on his thin and fair face, and his aura was in stark contrast to Juventus.

Unlike the Red Lion's flamboyant claw dance, as the captain of the Red Lion, Stewart himself is quite calm.

But as Stewart's old rival, Juventus knows that Stewart has an unbeatable arrogance, and his 'composure' is just a manifestation of his perfunctory appearance.

Juve looked closely at Stewart and was suddenly a little surprised.

Because Stewart's calm eyes revealed a glimmer of light, as if he was amazed.

What did he see?

Juventus looked at Stewart's line of sight, slightly stunned.

That's Honeysuckle's captain this year, the daughter of real estate tycoon Mr. Jones, Jolene.

The girl wore a dark red evening dress, a pair of proud snow-white long legs under the short skirt, and black and gold high heels. Wearing black gloves and looking down at her watch, her eyes were like a pair of rubies, revealing her delicate shoulder blades and the graceful curvature of her back when she turned to look back into the hallway.

Rao is a good upbringing of Juventus and Stewart, and he can't help but lose his mind at the moment.

During the competition, Jolena's dressing style can almost be called men's clothing, and Jolena, who is changing into an evening dress at the moment, is radiant, and even the tulip 'Kaolin Flower' Herty is eclipsed in front of Jolena.

Juve would like to remind Stewart that your eyes are rude and you keep staring at people's long legs.

But...... Juventus were amazed.

If I had been in the first grade younger, I would probably have tried to get that girl to be my dance partner.

Stewart stepped forward, Juve raised an eyebrow, realising that the old rival had something to do.

But before he could speak, Stewart froze.

The girl raised her cold eyes, what kind of eyes were they...... Like a dormant lion, watch the enemies that step into your territory.

In an instant, Stewart realizes that she is not a prey, but an opponent as powerful as Juventus who must be guarded against!

Stewart shook his head from afar, and as he turned to leave, he guessed in his heart... So who is she waiting for?

Who will the lion-like girl dance with tonight?

Juventus was staring at the girl, and was poked in the waist by Hetty, who was smiling beside him.

"Nice?" Hetty said.

Juventus nodded, immediately shaking their heads.

"I'm leaving," Hetty said angrily. "Don't think about the other girls, go find Stuart as your dance partner!"

Juventus was stunned for a moment, his eyes happened to meet Stewart's, and there was a feeling of sympathy between them, as if Cao Cao and Liu Bei had looked at each other.

Seem...... It's not impossible.

When Hetty reached the hallway, she was confronted by a handsome male student.

He seems to be from Middle-earth, with black hair and black eyes, a tall figure, a dark suit with wide stripes on his shoulders, and a waistcoat shirt underneath.

The waistcoat and wide striped suit reminded Herty of the mafia godfather of Sicily......

I didn't expect that in reality, there are really people who can hold up, just a hood and a pipe are perfect.

Seeing the man's back walk into the auditorium, Hetty asked the host girl in the corridor as if he was competing with Juventus: "What school is he a student in?" ”

"He's not a student." The girl said, "He's a professor of honeysuckle." ”

Hetty was surprised: "Professor? So young! ”

The girl nodded: "And it's a professor of ancient linguistics, but it's about the same age as us, and he's handsome, so he was pulled as a shield." ”

Hetty nodded in understanding.

It's actually a professor...... His unique aura can be understood.

Compared to the man just now, whether it is Juventus or Stewart, they are too immature...... Obviously about the same age, he feels as if he has experienced many brutal duels.

Of course, scholars who study ancient languages have a sense of history in them.

Hetty glanced back at the dance floor with a little regret and heard the light tango flow from it—the ball began.

The boys' black leather shoes and the girls' high-heeled dancing shoes trampled on the floor, the white dance skirts fluttered, and the crystal chandeliers fell beautifully, shining on glassware, diamond jewelry, and brass railings.

Lin Xiao's eyes were looking for the ball, and the first to land on the long buffet table, and the tall ponytail girl sitting alone at the bartender.

She changed into an evening dress today, with snow-white long legs and golden ratios, elegant and beautiful. Lin Xiao was a little surprised and returned to normal.

"Chu Yun said just now that there was a new discovery, so it took some time." Lin Xiao explained.

"Hmm." Jolena raised her red pupils and looked at Lin Xiao, and said, "I'm also observing the people at the ball...... There is no suspicious phenomenon for the time being. ”

We're the two most suspicious people at the ball, and instead of dancing, we're around the table... Lin Xiao thought so, looked at the long table covered with delicacies, and his eyes lit up.

"There are fish." Lin Xiao said.

"What?"

"There is salmon that Daifuku loves to eat at the buffet table." Lin Xiao said, "It shouldn't matter if you release Dafu, right?" ”

Jolena nodded in a deep voice: "No problem, there are people who have manifested spiritual objects, and, it seems, they won't taste half a mouthful of food." ”

Everyone is here for the sex, and few people will touch the prom dinner...... Even though the food at the dinner was really tasty.

"Roger!" Lin Xiao walked decisively to the buffet table, walked calmly, took off her gloves and wiped them on the table.

A snow-white seal lay in the gap of the dining table, sniffed the fragrance of salmon, and raised his dark eyes to look at Lin Xiao: "Ou? ”

"You're welcome." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "They all paid the entrance fee, and it was a waste for that group of people to not eat it...... Waste of food, very shameful! ”

"Woo!" Daifuku screamed happily and crawled on the table for a bowl of salmon salad, feasting on it.

Lin Xiao leaned against the bar counter, looking at Dafu with a smile, the tip of her nose wafting with an ethereal fragrance.

She actually used perfume today...... Lin Xiao thought about it and couldn't help but look sideways at Jolena.

Jolena's red pupils reflected Lin Xiao, and when she saw him turn his head, the corners of his mouth gently raised the arc, and said, "The suit is very suitable for you... Very handsome. ”

"It was ordered after the investigation team was promoted to 'sub-team leader'." Lin Xiao said, "I don't have the money to buy a customized model myself." ”

"Will the Seventh Order also be short of money?" Jolene said.

"Missing...... But now is not the time to make money. ”

You have to stand and earn the money.

Lin Xiao paused: "Your dress is very beautiful." ”

"It's rare to see you take the initiative to praise people." Jolena's red eyes fluttered.

"I just hate compliments." Lin Xiao looked at the dance floor, avoided his eyes, and said, "But I don't need to compliment you...... You don't need a dress to be pretty. ”

At the dining table, Daifuku lay on his back and burped, squinting his eyes to reveal a happy look.

The violinist suddenly changed his tune, the strings interlaced like a sharp blade on the violin, and the soft music suddenly became louder.

“por una cabeza。” Jolene whispered.

"What?" Lin Xiao is a little familiar.

"The name of this piece is also called "One Step Away". Jolena looked at Lin Xiao with her arms crossed and said, "The soundtrack of the Oscar-winning film "Smelling a Woman" is a famous tango dance. ”

"Old movies from centuries ago." Lin Xiao lamented the similarities between Blue Star and the cultural industry in the previous life.

"It's not outdated."

Jolene looked at the man's side face, his face softened by the light.

The girl hates the pretentious atmosphere of the banquet, but if you can dance with him...... Not bad.

"Lin ......" Jolena looked at the dance floor, and stopped talking.

Sensing the girl's nervousness, Lin Xiao said: "The next event in the league is 'Crusade against Dragon Lizards', and you can clear the customs by focusing on pulling, so you don't have to be nervous." ”

"I mean ......"

Jolena gently took off her gloves, her hands were as white as jade, her face was full of crimson, she exhaled as if she had made up her mind, got up and walked in front of Lin Xiao.

The violinist suddenly made a mistake, and the violent roar caused the entire auditorium to shake, and everyone had a blank look on their faces, and Lin Xiao and Jolena saw the solemnity in each other's eyes at the same time.

The cacophony of voices in the hall mingled, and people flocked to the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the auditorium.

Through the glass, you can see a raging fire rising in the night, and the smoke screen soars into the sky, and the fire burns the sky red.

A message from the school popped up in the students' light curtains:

"The library of Honeysuckle No. 6 is in disrepair and there is a sudden fire, please do not panic, please do not panic, take self-protection measures, and evacuate in an orderly manner!"

"An ordinary fire, the school should be able to deal with it quickly," said Juventus, the captain of Tulip, with a frown in front ......of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Obviously, this is not a misfire." Stewart said solemnly, "Someone is coming for honeysuckle, or for the three-school league!" ”

Amid the noisy and messy footsteps, Lin Xiao and Jolena hurriedly left the auditorium, with a well-trained and stern look on their faces, and Bluetooth was already in their ears.

"Sigrid!" Lin Xiao said, "Tell me what happened!" ”

The little secretary's nervous and methodical report sounded: "About an hour ago, someone entered the No. 6 library, interfered with the library's alarm equipment, and caused a fire, the fire can no longer be stopped, and it is spreading to the surrounding buildings!" ”

"This is no ordinary flame...... It must have something to do with the card faller, and he must be found and his trump card broken! Chu Yun's cold voice sounded.

It was so easy to break through the security facilities of Honeysuckle...... Lin Xiao thought to herself, is it the teachers and students of this school who have been bewitched again?

Suddenly, there was a sense of 'power of arrogance' from the tinder.

In the direction of the flames, there was a force of the same origin as 'arrogance', like an open mouth of blood, constantly attracting Lin Xiao to step forward......

Lin Xiao's eyes were deep, no, that card fallen master is coming for me!

"Let's get over there."

Jolene frowned and said solemnly:

"Carlo is in that library!"
