Because Su Shijun put on his glasses again, the pressure in the entire office suddenly lightened, and Zheng Qing suddenly felt that he could breathe again and regain the ability to think.

It was then that he remembered in horror how he had behaved in a slightly dull manner.

"Is this the natural charm of the fox clan?" the young public student secretly thought, "can quietly influence other people's thoughts...... What a terrifying gift. ”

The researcher who was making a report to Su Shijun could obviously also clearly feel the changes in the pressure around him.

This made his subsequent statements much smoother.

It wasn't until the lucky researcher finished his report and left the office that Zheng Qing finally looked away from the glass case and turned to look at the witch sitting behind the desk.

"Are you the director?" Zheng Qing suddenly thought of the title of the researcher just now, and couldn't help but ask, "The director of the Ascension Experiment Research Institute?"

"It's the deputy director. Su Shijun tilted his head and explained, "Those old guys in the Joint Council of Professors have no way to ignore the rank of my Grand Wizard and the members of the Moon Council, so they can only add one more title...... In fact, it is completely meaningless, and my remit is still limited to this laboratory. ”

"That's amazing. Zheng Qing praised from the bottom of his heart, but immediately said curiously: "But isn't it okay if you're not usually at school?"

"What?" Su Da Meinu's eyes flashed, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean, you are usually in the Moon Council, or other places are busy, not at school, can you manage such a large laboratory?" Zheng Qing laboriously organized his own language.

In front of a beautiful woman, it is very difficult to maintain a sharp and logical mind.

"I also just took over this lab from the Joint Professors' Conference. Su Shijun finally understood what he wanted to express, smiled slightly, and explained: "And, if nothing else, I should stay in school this school year...... The Council of the Moon has put so much effort into not letting me come on vacation. ”

Zheng Qing's eyes immediately widened.

"Wow!" he let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid those guys at the school would be overjoyed if they found out about this." ”

The young student seemed to have anticipated the reaction of those he knew when they heard the news.

"So, you're going to keep it a secret for me. Su Shijun blinked: "Except for a few professors, you are the only student who knows this news......

Zheng Qing immediately stretched out his hand, pulled it along his mouth, and made a zipper movement.

"When it comes to secrecy, you have to pay attention to this ......" Su Shijun grabbed the quill and pointed to the feet of the public scholarship student: "In the future, try not to go to the sun often to avoid being discovered by others about this abnormality." ”

Zheng Qing lowered his head and looked at his bare feet, feeling a little sad.

Losing his shadow always made him feel as if he was missing a layer of protection, which made people a little uncomfortable.

"What will happen if I am discovered," the young wizard shrugged, "will they tie me to the cross and burn me?"

"The joke is funny. Although he said this, there was no trace of a smile on Su Shijun's face: "Without the protection of shadows, the probability of you being dizzy or suffering from heat stroke in the sun will increase slightly...... As for being discovered by others, although it will not hang you on a wooden stake and burn you to death, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble. ”

"There is no shadow...... Won't it affect my studies?" Zheng Qing was more entangled in this matter than the troubles he might encounter: "I mean, if there is no shadow, will it affect me to cast magic and use spells?"

"Which wizard have you seen who is immortal and flying away from the sky by virtue of his shadow?" Su Shijun asked rhetorically.

Zheng Qing suddenly felt that it made sense.

But she felt that she was avoiding the important and fooling herself.

“...... And what will happen to my shadow in the end?!"

"If your projection can't break through those two-dimensional worlds, but keeps messing around in it, it's very likely that you will gradually lose yourself and become a shadow in someone else's work. ”

"If he can break through the two-dimensional world...... Then you will earn a lot, and at the very least, you will be able to gain the true meaning of life that a detached person has comprehended. Of course, the two-dimensional world is relatively low-end, but the experience there is also very useful. ”

Speaking of this, Su Shijun frowned, suddenly put down the work at hand, opened the drawer on the table, flipped through it, found a red notebook, and then opened it and pushed it in front of the public scholarship student.

Zheng Qing took two steps forward and lowered his head.

On the slightly yellowed paper of the notebook, two cryptic words were written in delicate notes:

“...... When I need to cross... During the dark tunnel, I visually encountered a completely unexpected version of myself. Undoubtedly, this is my shadow. All I need to do is describe this shadow as accurately and frankly as I can. It is not to choose to turn a blind eye, not to analyze it logically, but to accept it as a part of the whole self. Although doing so will not make the Shadow lose its power...... You have to absorb your shadow and see it as a part of you without losing you as a person. ”

“...... For if you do not, it will not be long before your shadow will grow stronger and stronger, and one day it will come to your door, knock and whisper, 'I'm back.'" [Note]

Two paragraphs are not long.

But it contains great horror and great opportunity, which makes people feel creepy to read.

"I would like to recommend you a work, "The Story of Shadows" written by the great wizard of Odense, Hans Christine...... This is one of a series of articles he wrote for the Betatown Post after his doctoral dissertation at First University. ”

"Very, very intriguing. ”

Zheng Qing looked at the slightly gloomy words on the notebook and muttered, "...... I didn't know that there was such a Ph.D. degree in the school...... What is a doctor, is he a great wizard?"

"No, not really. Su Shijun explained very gently: "Doctors are just some senior researchers who have achieved very, very outstanding results in a certain field, and obtained an academic honor. Essentially, they are still registered wizards...... Of course, compared to the average registered wizard, their speech or opinion in the corresponding field can often be recognized by the great wizards. ”

The public student sighed deeply and put the notebook away.

"How long is it going to be in there?" he changed the subject, gesturing instead to the glass case on the alchemy instrument.

Since Poseidon entered, there had been no movement in the entire instrument, except for the occasional rune formation. Not even the fog in the glass case was tumbling.

This is worrying.

"Soon...... It won't affect your lunch. Su Shijun smiled slightly: "It won't delay our conversation later." ”

"Talk?" Zheng Qing swallowed quietly.

He had a feeling.

It seems that this is the real reason why Su Da Mei recruited herself.
