Night.

Under the kerosene lamp, Lei Luo rubbed his tired eyes and put down his blood-stained scalpel.

After lowering his head and recording the tadpole dissection information he had just obtained on the Ice and Fire Bird Codex one by one, and annotating it with images and texts, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist slightly

"Speaking of which, the tadpole, which looks harmless to humans and animals on a macroscopic scale, is so terrifying under the microscopic observation of a magnifying glass, like a terrible creature in a nightmare. ”

Lei Luo seemed to have some emotion about the tadpole image he had just observed with a magnifying glass.

After taking notes, Lei Luo put the notebook into the space box, and after thinking about it, he took out a transparent glass bottle from the space box, and after unscrewing the cap, he felt a slightly pungent smell of embalming liquid.

After two days, Lei Luo began to get used to the smell, and only frowned slightly, then picked up the tweezers, put the tadpole specimen into the bottle, and sealed it again.

There are many ways to preserve specimens, and glass bottle embalming solution is the most mature and common one.

Through the kerosene lamp, admiring the tadpole specimen in the bottle, as if admiring the most beautiful gem in the world, the corners of Lei Luo's mouth showed a smug arc.

Satisfied, Lei Luo put the specimen into the space box.

For a scholar who studies the mysteries of evolution, the quantity and quality of specimens in his possession almost determine the scholar's knowledge reserve, and Lei Luo, as an enlightened student, has begun to follow his instinct and enrich his specimen bank.

It was already late at night, and even the old neighborhood in the southeast, where Leiluo's hut was located, had completely quieted down.

"Heh......"

With a yawn, Lei Luo got up.

He had been sitting still for a day, his body was stiff, and after standing up at this moment, the stiff bones made a "click" and "click" sounds, and Lei Luo twisted his neck again, making a "click" and "click" sounds again.

After stretching, Relo looked at his delicate cabin.

Since the size of the hut was so small, Lei Luo had to make a simple test bench out of a small wooden table against the balcony window, and instead of a spar lamp, he used a kerosene lamp instead.

For Lei Luo, life is not hard, but for the experimental environment of a scholar, it is too simple.

"Even if two kerosene lamps are lit at the same time, the brightness is still not enough, and the flickering fire is a kind of torture for the subtlety of the magnifying glass, and in the long run, it will inevitably damage the eyes, and wear glasses like a teacher. Speaking of which...... According to my brother, Tutor Gubo's career as a scholar when he was young was also very difficult. ”

Muttering to himself, Lei Luo took a rag and kept cleaning the rudimentary test bench, and then dipped in some alcohol and cleaned the scalpel, tray and other props.

"Another day, let's spend gold coins and buy a hedron lamp!"

The spar lamp consumes energy spar as an energy source, and the brightness is far from being comparable to that of kerosene lamps, and the price is generally about one hundred and fifty silver coins, which ordinary families simply cannot afford.

Fortunately, the energy stone consumption of the spar lamp is very low, and a piece of energy spar is enough to support several years, which belongs to one of the practical technologies invented by the Natural Academy of Sciences of the Principality of Utolan, and has been popularized on a large scale in all human principalities.

It can be said that even though the Utolan Academy of Nature was suppressed by the Church because of the "Heliocentric Theory" and its status among the natural colleges of mankind plummeted, in terms of wealth, it was still the richest among the major academies, and many practical inventions were handed down from the Principality of Utolan.

Suddenly!

"Ahh

The frightened shouts outside the window broke the silence of the neighborhood late at night.

Lei Luo instinctively put down the cleaning cloth in his hand, opened the window, and looked down.

I saw a few vague black shadows, the shadows were sufficient, the figures in the middle of the besieged continent, the besieged people were almost unable to parry, with a "bang" sound, the public spar street lamp on the street was broken by a flying knife of the besieging figure, the light and shadow disappeared, leaving only the sound of metal collision and fighting in the dark, and the sound of panic for help.

After a few breaths.

The fighting stopped, and the street fell silent, but Relo knew, just like himself, that there were countless eyes nearby, observing in the darkness.

"Shhh

Lei Luo, who was on the balcony on the third floor, was secretly shocked.

This group of people dared to openly commit murder in the academy, and it happened in front of them, and it seems that they should be careful in the future, so as not to get involved in any fight.

Belch......

There was a belching sound from the balcony next to him, and Lei Luo looked at it, and it was his widowed neighbor, Merlin.

"Evening, good evening, Sister Merlin. ”

Thinking of the man's kind reminder and the terrifying legend of the woman in front of him, Lei Luo instinctively tightened his expression and gave birth to a little timidity.

Still sitting on the balcony in a loose nightgown, Merlin was already drunk with a cigarette in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

The sneer at the corner of her mouth curled, Mei Lin seemed to be used to this kind of fight scene, and looked at Lei Luo drunkenly.

"This is the most chaotic street in the Academy, and it is also the farthest street from the Guardians of the Academy, but this is the sixth murder this month, far more than the previous chaos, it seems that it should be targeted by some force. ”

After speaking, Merlin raised her head, grunted, poured a sip of high-count spirits, wiped the corners of her mouth without restraint, took a puff of the cigarette in her hand, and spit it out.

Looking up, Merlin looked melancholy into the deep starry sky.

Coo-goo-goo.

Bright moonlight, endless starry sky.

A flock of green-eyed owls flapped their wings and flew over, some of them landed on damaged public street lamps to repair them, others landed on the corpses of the road, and after confirming that they were dead, they analyzed the killer's machine, while others flew in all directions, looking for witnesses and perpetrators.

One of the owls happened to be flying towards Lei Luo.

"Goo, I'm the Guardian of Grand Academy, and I'm investigating a series of vicious murders here, have you witnessed the murder just now?"

The owl looked similar to a normal owl, but Lei Luo knew that it was a psychic beast specially bred by the Academy.

"Uh, I saw three men in black attack the deceased, and after only a few seconds, the street lights broke, and then I couldn't see anything. ”

To Lei Luo's astonishment, the owl actually took out a quill pen, nodded, and carefully recorded Lei Luo's testimony, meticulous and cute.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Coo-Goo. ”

After recording Lei Luo's confession, the owl didn't ask too much and flew away.

A moment later.

Several sheriffs took away the body, and the street returned to tranquility.

"Sister Mei Lin, I'm going back to rest. ”

Suddenly, Merlin seemed to think of something, looked back at Lei Luo and said jokingly, "If you're interested in studying the human body, this is a good place to get specimens." ”

"Ahh

Lei Luo was startled and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I'm not interested!"

Seeing Lei Luo so frightened, the drunken Mei Lin chuckled, and the loose nightgown inadvertently showed a little amorous, and she didn't care, but Lei Luo was a little embarrassed.

It's no wonder that Lei Luo was so frightened just now.

Collecting human specimens and conducting experimental research on the human body has been around thousands of years ago, and that is wizards!

It is based on a large number of experimental studies on the human body that there are all kinds of terrifying legends of wizards killing people by invisible means, as well as eating children's eyes, and even creating the terrifying Black Death that almost endangered mankind!

Later, although the various natural colleges have sprung up in the major principalities because of the power struggle between the royal family and the church, the study of human experiments is an absolute forbidden area for scholars.

Although almost all scholars know that those evil wizards must have discovered some extremely powerful powers through human body research, and the rise of the Barda Academy of Nature in recent years is likely to be through the study of some evil wizards' legacies and gains, but the scholars who dare to meet the pressure of church censorship are not at all outside the Principality of Barda!

"Wait a minute. ”

Suddenly, Merlin stopped Lei Luo, hooked her index finger and smiled drunkenly, "Come here." ”

Belch?

Past?

Looking at the lazy and presumptuous attitude of the widow next door after seven points of drunkenness, and the snow white of the loose robe inadvertently exposed, for a moment, Lei Luo thought a lot, only felt that his mouth was dry, his face was blushing to the base of his neck, and he hesitated and wandered.

Goodo......

Lei Luo swallowed, looking nervous, I don't know if it was because of the anger widow's amorous feelings, or because of the fear of the legends of her poisoner.

"Come here!"

Merlin looked impatient, Lei Luo bit his lip tightly, his steps were a little frivolous, his heart "coo", "coo" beat violently, and he muttered with the voice of a mosquito deep in his throat: "I'm going to sleep." ”

"Put your face out. ”

Merlin took advantage of the drunken excitement to speak in a commanding tone.

In the blank space of Lei Luo's brain, he only felt the tip of his nose being gently stroked by the other party's slender index finger, and in Lei Luo's stunned, Mei Lin showed the tip of his index finger.

"The kerosene lamp has smoked you into a little flower cat, clucking. ”

It turned out that after Lei Luo lit the kerosene lamp, he lowered his head for too long to experiment, and the smoke of the oil lamp turned Lei Luo's nose blackened.

Ashamed of his evil thoughts just now, Lei Luo hurriedly wiped his nose and hurriedly said, "I was in a hurry just now, I'm really sorry, Sister Mei Lin, good night!"

With that, Lei Luo closed the curtains and ran back to the house.

"Hiccup. ”

Merlene staggered back to the house dragging the bottle, muttering, "What a cute little fellow......"
