According to the original plan, Zheng Qing planned to gather a five-person standard hunting team in the Knights of Guilt for tonight's adventure. But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and the other hunters in the team didn't have a lot of time.

For example, blue. Approaching the end of the term, as an outstanding student of the Star Academy, Blue Tinch has been in the ring for many days, especially today is Friday, it is said that he broke a lot of bones in the defensive battle in the afternoon, Zheng Qing is really embarrassed to speak, let the cold swordsman take the risk with injuries.

And the little monk of Liberation is because of the puja. Today is the day of Gengwuyue, Xinsi, and the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and it is a day of worship for many gods such as Guan Sheng, Chenghuang, and the Dragon King - of course, this is all far-fetched rhetoric in traditional occultism, and no legendary wizard has confirmed the birthday of the gods - but on such days, the students of Atlas inevitably recite several prayers in front of the statue of the deity.

If it's not your god, you can not worship, but you can't lose respect.

Another important reason why Zheng Qing did not inform the little monk is that the little monk has almost never participated in the training of the Sin Hunting Team, and it is better to invite Nicholas to invite him to come.

In the afternoon, Nicholas quietly found Zheng Qing, hoping to participate in the evening's adventure. Zheng Qing knew that he wanted to help Liu Feifei catch the faceless demon who had disguised himself as a pet snake, but Zheng Qing refused to invite Nicholas.

Regardless of the fact that Nicholas, like the little monk of Shiyuan, has not participated in the hunting team training, it will be a decoration to a large extent after being invited, and Nicholas's current identity - the wizard of the North District - is very scratchy. The notorious sacrificial spell seal, the sacrifice of a frog for every magic used, and the instability of the magic effect, all kinds of factors made Zheng Qingwan refuse Nicholas's request to volunteer.

As for Dylan, he was the first hunter to be excluded from the optional range. Because his schedule was the opposite of Zheng Qing and the others, when Zheng Qing was adventurous at night, it was the time for him to go to class. It doesn't matter if Dylan takes a leave of absence in the middle of the semester, but it's the end of the semester.

For college students, the last few classes before the end of the semester are the most important classes of the entire academic year. Many students who are sloppy in their studies on weekdays rely on the key points outlined by the teacher in these classes.

Dylan was that kind of classmate.

In this way, after repeated deliberation and selection, Zheng Qing invited Jiang Yu to participate in tonight's adventure. As expected, the witch happily agreed to his invitation.

It is true that Jiang Yu has not participated in the training of the Sin Hunting Team, but her previous adventures in the small world of the secret realm and her performance in the weekday practice class made Zheng Qing full of confidence in her participation. Moreover, Zheng Qing hopes to help Jiang Yu untie his heart knot through this adventure.

According to the general rules of hunting, everyone must use a code name in a hunt.

Although tonight is not a hunt, this rule applies.

Zheng Qingqing's name 'Black Cat' - the original code name of 'Mr.', because of the appearance of Mr. Wu, the young public-funded students were a little weak-hearted, so they changed their new code names this time.

Anyway, everyone present knew his other identity.

Jiang Yu's code name is 'squad leader', which is decent, no one will call it wrong, and no one will guess.

There are a few people left, Xiao Xiao's code name 'Doctor', Zhang Jixin's code name 'Elder', and Banner's code name 'Fat Man', all of which are used to on weekdays, and everyone has no objections.

As for the position, Zhang Jixin is still the main hunter, Banner and Xiao Xiao are the left assistants, Jiang Yu is the ranger, and Zheng Qing, as the hunter, is responsible for the most important search work tonight.

After briefly confirming the code and location, Xiao Xiao once again emphasized to everyone the requirements and taboos for entering and leaving the museum - for example, the temporary access card and student card must be used at the same time, for example, no objects are allowed to be touched in the exhibition hall, follow the line to pass quickly, and when passing through the magic painting exhibition hall, you must always keep your eyes on the silver lines on the floor, and never look at the paintings on both sides.

"During the daytime exhibition, the school will open the protective barrier to control the influence of those magic paintings. But when night falls, the museum closes those enchantments to save magic. Xiao Xiao admonished very seriously:

"If you don't want to be sucked into purgatory by paintings depicting hell, or feel the screams beyond the howl of the banshee, be cautious, cautious, and cautious!"

"There's a small problem. The fat man asked aloud while adjusting the leather buckle of the law book: "We use our student cards to enter and exit the museum, will we leave traces of identity...... Brother Qing'er, is it okay?"

The implication is that this is a violation, and Zheng Qing is also carrying a punishment of probation.

Zheng Qing finally realized that he had neglected something, and he felt a pang of chagrin in his heart.

"Whether it's a violation or not depends on what we do. Xiao Xiao obviously thought about this question and replied with confidence: "You have a temporary work permit, I can testify, you are a volunteer I invited to come to the museum to help temporarily." Theoretically, the school still needs to give you a little subsidy...... As long as you don't damage a single exhibit in the museum!"

That last sentence is already the third time he has emphasized it tonight.

The fat man smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he knew.

Xiao Xiao looked around, still with a hint of uneasiness on his face, but after seeing Zheng Qing's determined expression, he finally sighed and walked to the shore of the lake under an old willow tree with a crooked neck.

The willow tree is old, its branches and foliage are somewhat sparse compared to its other stout counterparts, and more moonlight leaks from the top of its head than other willow trees.

Xiao Xiao lifted a cluster of low-hanging willow branches, revealing a crooked wooden sign hanging from the trunk of the tree.

There are a few words on the wooden plaque, but because of the light, Zheng Qing can't see it really. Xiao Xiao didn't plan to let everyone visit carefully, so he raised his hand and dragged it next to the wooden sign.

Only then did Zheng Qing notice that there was a thin rope next to the wooden sign.

Looking up along the rope, a small shiny brass bell hung on a thick branch of the crooked willow tree diagonally upward. The little bell shook from side to side under the pull of the rope.

The bell at the bell swayed silently.

The brass bell did not ring.

But Zheng Qing vaguely heard a crisp ringing sound from far away. He wasn't sure if it was his own delusion. Looking left and right, the faces of the companions were a little confused.

Jingle bells.

"Do you hear that?" he whispered into the witch's ear.

Jiang Yu's earlobes were a little red.

She shook her head.

"Quiet!" Xiao Xiao glanced at his captain sternly, and Zheng Qing immediately raised his hand and made a zipper movement on the side of his mouth.

Jingle bells.

The bell still rings in the distance.

Before long, the surface of the lake rippled faintly. Moments later, several dark gray iron bulls slowly emerged from the water, rowed to the shore and docked, revealing their broad backs to the young wizards.

Xiao Xiao took the lead in jumping on the back of the cow.

The iron bull shook its head, turned steadily, and swam deeper into the lake. Zheng Qing gritted his teeth, and the second jumped up, followed by the others.

Soon, the lakeshore returned to its former calm.

In the depths of the small lake, only a few vague figures can be seen.
