At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, and Yu Luying stood at the gate of St. Francis Middle School.

After Xiao Yao and Shen Jie told Zhao Xiaomei's plan, Shen Jie's first reaction was to sit back and watch the changes.

After a small argument with Xiao Yao, she agreed to Yu Bo's plan.

Yu Luying's side was notified by Yu Bo.

Although Xiao Yao didn't understand why this kind of thing had to involve Yu Luying, she still came after all.

Shen Jie was still wearing her clumsy disguise - the school uniform of Modu Junior High School, with a bright red scarf fluttering at the neckline, and she was not wearing school pants on her lower body, but a pair of black knee-length shorts, and a pair of sandals with bare feet.

Xiao Yao had a lot of complaints about the two elements of "bare feet" and "on the lap", but Shen Jie pushed him back with a sentence of "I am your friend, not your technician".

The young man knew that she was rebellious again, and he had no intention of arguing, so he had to let her.

Rao is like this, and his heart is naturally a little unhappy, and he has been missing the well-behaved and obedient Shen Jie before.

Yu Luying's upper body was wearing the school uniform of St. Francis Assisi's secondary school, but her lower body was wearing an elegant long skirt, and her feet wore a pair of white gymnastic shoes with snow-white short stockings.

However, Xiao Yao at this moment was not in the mood to appreciate Yu Luying's outfit.

The three of them walked into the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church behind them, went straight to the second floor, and pushed the door into Father Yubo's office.

Yu Bo was already there waiting for the three of them.

I saw that he was wearing the kind of all-black Roman dress—a long skirt/robe that reached to the feet, a wide waist guard wrapped around his waist, and his hand had just closed a violin case on the table.

"Uncle, what are you doing with the piano?" Yu Luying rushed up first: "I haven't seen you play the violin, will you?" ”

"Don't move," Yu Bo laughed, "Why can't I play the violin?" This is my secret weapon, when the time comes, pull on a song and two springs to reflect the moon, maybe your teacher Song will wake up? ”

The three teenagers were stunned and looked at each other.

However, they also have no intentions.

Xiao Yao urged: "Then let's go, don't wait a while Zhao Xiaomei will go in by herself." ”

However, ten minutes later, when the four of them walked out of the side door of the Sacred Heart Church again, they were all dumbfounded.

Because the original school and the gate are gone, replaced by a majestic ...... Monastery?

The monastery looks like a typical example of a Carolingian monastery, with a church, a library, and other buildings, with the church as the center, and the other buildings arranged in a horseshoe shape into a closed style, which contains almost all the architectural forms of the important stages in the history of architecture, such as the early Carolingian style of the capital, the architectural layout of the ancient Gothic abbey, the Baroque church and the library - the whole monastery gives a sense of disharmony and oppression.

In comparison, Father Yu's church looks like a firewood house.

"Do you see that?" Yu Bo asked the three teenagers beside him in a calm and calm tone.

"I thought I was dazzled." Yu Luying said hesitantly.

"Look at the heavens." Shen Jie reminded them.

Xiao Yao raised his head and saw a huge black moon, so big that it had a suffocating sense of oppression, and the bright moonlight that once glowed because of bathing in the light of the sun had disappeared without a trace, becoming an ordinary member of hundreds of millions of celestial bodies in the dark and empty universe.

In a glowing green light, the four of them realized that the "shadow time" that appeared for the first time at the birthday party had come again.

This explains why he arrived at such a bizarre scene even though he didn't go through any mirrors.

"This convent," said Yu Luying, "is it what my uncle thinks St. Francis of Assi's secondary school looks like?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Bo didn't react for a while.

"I think there is some truth in the stupid girl's conjecture." Shen Jie said coldly.

Since the symbiosis was exposed, Shen Jie and Yu Luying have not regained their former intimacy, Rao is like this, but they have not argued publicly, and they call each other as always.

Xiao Yao also felt that this conjecture was quite reasonable, after all, the predecessor of this school was a church middle school, and the Sacred Heart Church was just an affiliated church of the school.

"You mean, it's mine...... Hall? Yu Bo touched his chin: "Joke, how can a person like me have a palace?" ”

"But......" the boy mused, "when did we suddenly enter Shadow Time?" ”

"I don't know," Yu Luying recalled, "it seems that it came out of the church and became like this." ”

"Based on the experience of the last time, Bo Ge should not be able to perceive shadow time." Shen Jie added.

Fortunately, unlike last time, the three of them were not immediately surrounded by an army of depressive shadows, but walked a little further away from the school, and they came to the bustling street, the monastery in the distance disappeared, and if you looked in that direction, the school was still the same as it was.

"So, this shouldn't be the shadow time phenomenon that I encountered at Xiao Yao's house last time......"

After pondering for a while, Yu Bo spoke again and pointed out: "In the current situation, the only possibility is ...... The four of us have gained the ability to enter the shadow world directly without going through a mirror. ”

"How could such a thing happen?!" All three children were not very confident in this conclusion.

But Yu Bo didn't care: "Okay, it's useless to look ahead and look back, and if you come, you will be happy." I know that you are all extraordinary in the film world, so let's take a good look at it today. ”

With that, Yu Bo picked up the violin case and strode towards the school.

When the four of them stood in front of the gate of the monastery again, Xiao Yao was already covered in armor, with a shield and a sword on his back, while Yu Bo, Shen Jie, and Yu Luying couldn't see any obvious changes.

"Is this Don Quixote? This was the first time I had seen the spiritual fortress with my own eyes. Yu Bo stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Yao's armor approvingly.

"Can I set off a fireworks to celebrate, would I like to see it?" Shen Jie held up a fireball with both hands, and was about to throw it out.

"No, no, no, don't waste your strength," Yu Bo hurriedly stopped her and explained, "Xiao Yao's fortress is outside, which can protect him from harm, and also allow him to fight with a sword." And your fortress, Queen St. Mary can amplify your life energy and unleash a powerful attack, but it cannot protect your body, and once your body is injured, it will greatly weaken St. Mary's power. If the enemy is smart enough, they will definitely target you, so be sure to protect yourself and not be reckless. ”

"What Father Yu means is that the other side will definitely fight the mage first—you just hide behind my shield." Xiao Yao tapped his chest, and the frame sounded.

Shen Jie glanced at him, but she didn't pout.

"But I don't seem to have any strength." Yu Luying checked her whole body with both hands.

Yu Bo turned around, put the violin case on the ground, opened it, felt something from it, got up and handed it to Yu Luying.

"You take this and try it."

This is an axe, the one that Yu Luying brought with her at the cash box KTV before.

This axe is in Yu Luying's hands, and it has made Xiao Yao and Shen Jie suffer a lot.

This ordinary axe, which was in Yu Bo's hand, was handed over to Yu Luying's hand, and the blade of the axe immediately lit up with a blue rune shrouded in a faint cold air.

"That's right!" Xiao Yao said happily.

"This ......"

Yu Bo went on to explain: "The shadow world is considered to be a world composed of 'cognition', including our own cognition and the cognition of others. The spiritual fortress can protect self-perception, and at the same time, it can also put the strengthened cognition into the shadow world, which is recognized by the shadow world and forms a consensus. The power that is not recognized by the Shadow World has no place in the Shadow World, just like you used an axe to chop the doors and windows before, and the pepper spray will not be useful. Although Ying Ying does not have a spiritual fortress, her self-perception can be strengthened with the help of familiar tools or weapons to achieve a similar effect to a spiritual fortress. ”

"So yes, I believe that I am a knight, so I have armor and weapons, and Shen Jie believes that I can set fire, so I can set fire? Even if I'm not a real knight, Shen Jie never knows magic? Xiao Yao was a little skeptical of this statement: "What is justification by faith?" ”

"That's not accurate, but if you want to understand it that way for now, it's okay."

"That's outrageous, isn't it?" Xiao Yao said.

"Do you remember the chocolate you once 'drank' in Mr. Yao's hall?"

"Remember," Xiao Yao said, "Later, when I came out, that chocolate was still there, and I ate it for you later." ”

"Did you notice when you gave it to me that chocolate is solid?" Yu Bodao.

“……？ Is it? Didn't pay attention, what's the matter? Xiao Yao was puzzled.

"Then why does chocolate become liquid in the temple?" Yu Bo reminded them.

"Because...... Soaking in a water prison? Xiao Yao proposed.

"The water in the dungeon is hot water?" Yu Bo raised an eyebrow.

"Cold water."

"Damaged bag?"

"No, it's intact."

"The bag is intact, and the chocolate that has been soaked in cold water overnight will not melt," Yu Bo told them: "The reason why that chocolate melts is because Xiao Yao and Shen Jie 'think' that the chocolate will melt, because they are not science students." ”

Shen Jie's face was a little red: "Okay, don't say it, we all understand what you mean." ”

"But uncle, you don't seem to have changed anything, is it really okay?" Yu Luying asked Yu Bo with some concern.

"So what now?" Without waiting for Yu Bo to answer, Xiao Yao had already drawn his long sword in his right hand: "Go in and find out?" Or ......"

Shen Jie's palms burst into flames: "I can directly blow the door open." ”

Yu Bo stretched out his hand to stop her: "No, no, no, no!" We're still saluting first and then soldiers, didn't you say, maybe this is my own temple. ”

At this moment, the side door of the monastery was opened with a "squeak", and a person dressed as a nun came out of it.

She was neither tall nor short, wearing the usual black and white nun dress in television and movies, with a long skirt that was eight minutes long, short black cotton socks and student leather shoes on her feet, and a long headscarf wrapped around her head, without a trace of hair exposed.

The nun bowed her head slightly, which should have been part of her face...... There was only darkness.

Yes, there was only darkness.

Xiao Yao thought it was just caused by the light problem at night, but after careful observation, it was indeed faceless.

This reminded him of what Shen Jie saw in the mirror under the bridge when she ran away from home for the first time...... The faceless flower girl.

"Brothers and sisters, peace in the Lord." The little nun said.

"Peace." Yu Bo and Yu Luying subconsciously replied.

"I was entrusted by Dean Song to welcome several visitors to this hospital." The faceless nun has maintained a humble posture with her hands crossed over her shoulders.

Dean Song? Ha!

Xiao Yao almost burst out laughing.

It's still the same old thing.

Yu Bo looked at the three teenagers, spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders: "I'll just say it, it can't be my palace." ”

"Here, please." The faceless nun turned sideways, pushed open the side door of the convent, and politely invited.

The four of them glanced at each other, and they all felt that this was quite a sense of "please enter the urn", hesitated for a few seconds, but they couldn't think about it, and slowly followed the little nun into the door.

As soon as the four of them followed her into the courtyard gate, the back foot of the small door "clicked" and locked, which intensified everyone's sense of unease.

Xiao Yao noticed that although it was transformed into the appearance of a large convent, in fact, the gate of the convent still largely retained the style of the school gate of St. Francis of Assi, and not only that, but even the internal structure was quite similar.

The most obvious thing is that not far from the door, there is a playground that is not too big or small.

"Father Yu, will there be a playground in the monastery?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice.

Yu Bo didn't answer this question, just stared at a portrait on the wall: "Who is this person?" ”

Xiao Yao fixed his eyes, thin eyebrows and fine eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips, low cheekbones, thin cheeks, and the iconic mustache, who is it not Song Haijian?

"It's Song Hai......"

"It's Dean Song of this hospital." Sister Faceless introduced.

I saw that this "Dean Song" had a mysterious smile like a Mona Lisa on his face, a black four-cornered hat on his head, and a robe similar to Yu Bo's, which looked indescribably weird.

"It turns out that in Mr. Yao's mind," Yu Luying said, "The school is a KTV, a love hotel, a palace where you can learn what you want to learn freely......

Shen Jie continued: "And in your Teacher Song's heart, school = great monastery. ”

"It seems that most of the monasteries in Dean Song's cognition come from tourist scenery." Yu Bo chuckled from his nose.

As they spoke, they were walking towards the interior of the "monastery" when suddenly a burst of impassioned music sounded over the monastery.

This is not an ethereal Gregorian chant, but the well-known ...... "March of the Athletes".

With the sound of the "March of the Athletes", the crowd of Wuyang began to pour from the interior of the monastery to the playground.

Xiao Yao was startled, and subconsciously unsheathed the long sword, but it was Shen Jie who grabbed him and pinched it in the palm of the young man's hand.

In less than a minute, the "people" who poured out of the monastery filled the entire playground, and there were one or two thousand people on the eye.

The male-looking monks wore faceless hoods and stood on the left side of the playground, while the nuns dressed in the same way as the "faceless nun", standing on the right side of the playground with a three-meter-wide aisle between the boys and girls.

"Part! Stand still! It's time for evening class! The faceless nun urged.

"Evening class?" Xiao Yao was puzzled.

Before he could react, the four of them were separated, Xiao Yao and Yu Bo stood in the team of the monks on the left, and Yu Luying and Shen Jie stood in the team of the nuns on the right.

"There's no time to explain, just take a snapshot!" The faceless nun shouted in a low voice.

Accompanied by the three nuns who led the drill, the school—uh, the little trumpet above the monastery sounded: "The eighth set of radio gymnastics for middle school students in the country - the times are calling!" ”

Doing morning exercises in the evening, Principal Song, you are really toxic, Xiao Yao sighed.

But what followed was not the familiar radio gymnastics music, but a cheerful melody that Xiao Yao had never heard.

Then, there is a happy and melodious female chorus.

“Baby

Good fortune is actually all around you

My baby

Fighting from early morning to early morning ......"

“What?” Xiao Yao hurriedly followed the lead dancer on the rostrum, doing these extremely difficult square dance moves.

"People who can't tutor don't deserve to be good students for me

If you don't meet the test test world, get out of here

Baby

The gaokao is the only ladder to success

Hey, middle school students

Why do you still sleep at home on your days off?

Go memorize the words

Otherwise, your life will be wasted

Don't stop

If you don't finish your homework, you dare to shout tired first

Take study as life, or you will be punished first."
