CHAPTER XLIV

Du Zhengyi appeared in a deserted hallway, and he let go of the girl's arm, waiting for her to regain her balance. Traveling through a space is as easy for him as breathing, but not as easily as it used to be. He had to restrain himself from using his abilities as he once did. For example, don't travel through space just to get an apple from the kitchen.

But it feels so good to use magical abilities, and when you travel through space, the world becomes slow and delicate. He could see the distorted trajectory of space, he could see that space was still like a slice of jelly, and he really felt that he was alive, that was the form of his existence. Now, however, he uses his powers carefully, and he is like a well-performing car that can never be switched to Sport mode, only driving slowly in Eco mode, and he can feel the engine rusting all the time.

So, if Roach can handle the trouble on his own, he shouldn't waste his time here to save him. Du Zhengyi has never been a savior, and he has never thought about being a hero for a day.

If there is indeed a hero, it should be the girl next to him. Presumably, the role of a hero, once it becomes a year, is no longer suitable for playing.

The moment they walked into the hall, Du Zhengyi knew that Guan Xinyue must be fine, and the girl had a provocative expression of extreme contempt on her face. He knew that this expression might stem from Guan Xinyue's visceral hostility to the wizard world, or it might be a symptom of the second illness that Luo Qi said. But in this hall where top mages gathered, two-thirds of the people wore such expressions, and Guan Xinyue walked in as if she was home.

There were many mages coming and going in the open office hall in a hurry, and Du Zhengyi calmly walked through these people, occasionally nodding to one or two acquaintances, and Guan Xinyue kept a two-step distance from him as he had agreed before. He watched her with his peripheral vision, and there were several magical experiments going on in the sandbox's enchantment, and she still maintained a nonchalant expression of no curiosity. He was almost applauding her, and if it was Roach who was with him, he would probably have to find a chain to tie him up in order to walk safely.

This hall is not small, they have finally walked most of it, and they are about to walk out of the hall after walking ten meters, Du Zhengyi found that he was secretly relieved, turned his head and glanced at Guan Xinyue, and exchanged a look with her. At the north end of the hall is a corridor, and most of the rooms in the corridor are the offices of the archmages, but they are only formal offices, and they are usually not here, and having an office here brings more formal honor than practical use. In the middle of the corridor is a library, and the energy crystal that protects Qionglin's defense is in this library.

His only hope was that there would be no one in the library now, and if anyone was looking at the materials in the library, he would have to wait a while before he could act. Everything depends on this last luck, and generally people don't go there often during the day, and the probability of his success is still very high. His premonition of Roach's accident became heavier and heavier, and he recalled the details related to Roach, and there were doubts everywhere. He even began to regret that he didn't chase after Luo Qi in the first place, all because Archmage Liu Li's nonsense with a particularly high value attracted his attention, and he still can't understand how someone like Liu Li, who is more dignified than an inkstone, can say such nonsense.

He was thinking too much, he was distracted, and when he caught a flash of yellow-brown in the corner of his eye, he didn't react. Someone shouted, "Be careful!" Du Zhengyi's body sensed the sudden imminence of energy, and his instinct was almost crying out for danger. Without thinking, he obeyed his instinct and dodged suddenly, and the first thing he saw when he turned around was to see Guan Xinyue. She stood very intelligently beside a group of mages, one hand tightly over her mouth, but she didn't make any noise or make any unusual moves.

He relented and turned to find something that was attacking him, and several mages rushed up to restrain it. He was so lucky that he could walk in the magician's most decent office building and almost get scratched in the face by a baboon.

"What's going on?" He said absent-mindedly. He was in a hurry to get out of here, but he couldn't show that he didn't care at all, after all, Jair's retribution and bad provocation had always been the label he put on the back of his head. The kid who caused the trouble had already run over to apologize without being in his body, Du Zhengyi was famous on this floor, and the man's legs were weak when he saw that it was him.

Du Zhengyi listened impatiently as he stumbled to explain the accident of the psychic beast getting out of control, they had just started experimenting with primates, and they were a little difficult to grasp the high-IQ animals.

As soon as he wanted to drive this kid away, a voice came from behind him, "Du Zhengyi? Is that you? ”

Du Zhengyi looked back impatiently. A gray-haired middle-aged mage was standing not far away, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a serious and majestic expression.

"Teacher Zuo Yu." Du Zhengyi had to stop, Zuo Yu was his teacher's colleague, and he heard that he was promoted this year and was the person in charge here.

"Come to your teacher?" The Archmage walked straight to him.

"Let's look it up." Du Zhengyi said, subconsciously glancing at Guan Xinyue. She was about aware of the need to be wary of the older mage, and turned her back to blend in with the girls who were talking about magic coefficients, and pulled away from Du Zhengyi even further.

The young mage finally got his baboon back, Zuo Yu glared at him sternly, and the guy ran away without waiting for him to speak. Zuo Yu shook his head at his back, turned his head and looked Du Zhengyi up and down, his eyes were much gentler, as if he was looking at his child. "I haven't seen you for a while, but Pei Lao is still calling you everywhere? I remember that you graduated this year, so come to our department. ”

"I still have to talk to Teacher Pei," Du Zhengyi said, his attitude compared to the serious archmage, his attitude can be regarded as cold. "You're not short of people here, and you've got a lot of new faces this year."

Zuo Yu smiled annoyantly and shook his head, "I've been talking to Pei Lao about this recently, there are too few excellent mages. ”

"What do you say?" Du Zheng didn't want to talk about it, but it was not good to leave immediately. "Won't they come to the Laboratory?"

"There are some differences between me and Pei Lao." Zuo Yu didn't answer him directly, his expression was faint, slightly hesitant, "I hope to be more cautious from the beginning of admissions and raise the admission requirements, there are some magicians whose ratings are too low, even if they have some magical abilities, they are not suitable for admission." ”

"Why is that?" Du Zheng thought of Luo Qi and subconsciously defended, "Some magician apprentices may have obstacles in the release of their abilities, and they will gradually overcome the obstacles after years of study. ”

"But it's limited." Zuo Yu said that he was telling the truth, and Du Zhengyi couldn't refute it.

Zuo Yu continued, "What's more, these students are destined to go to the other side to survive, and they naturally tend to be humans, and it is too bad to promote the human way of life in school. In the last session, a student who obtained the qualification of a first-class mage directly refused the call of the mage committee and went to open a restaurant on the other side. In our time, such a situation was simply unimaginable. ”

Du Zhengyi thought that Zuo Yu's "that time" was a bad era for mankind, the war was not completely over, and the ground was full of devastation, and it was unimaginable if any mage wanted to live in human society at that time.

"Many of your classmates have the same idea, and it's a bit difficult for us to recruit executor now. Even if I came here, many of them had mobile phones in their pockets, and I deliberately blocked the entire Qionglin's electronic devices. ”

Du Zheng had nothing to say, he never cared about what others were doing, and he was very distant from his classmates. Moreover, he also has a mobile phone in his pocket.

"You are a rare child with a sense of responsibility and responsibility." Zuo Yu said earnestly, "Although I can't say that Pei Lao, we still have some common language, I hope you can talk to Pei Lao." ”

"What did my teacher say?" He asked.

"Pei Lao always wants to give people opportunities." Zuo Yu looked respectful, but also a little disapproving. "What if we give those kids a chance? After all, there are few students who are willing to work hard to break through their own bottlenecks, most of them are not diligent enough, and they only know how to play the games that consume the will of human beings. ”

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, if diligence is a virtue, he knows that Zuo Yu is just diligent, if Pei Shu is not a person who is willing to give people opportunities, with Zuo Yu's talent, there is no hope of getting to this position today. When Du Zheng was fifteen years old, he had already played a game to test Zuo Yu's ability, Zuo Yu was like an open book in front of him, and the book was still written in pinyin and illustrations, so it was not worth mentioning at all.

What's the point of judging others by your own standards? Zuo Yu's values are diligence, but diligence is not the most important thing in this world after all, but neither is intelligence, nor is magic ability. Therefore, Pei Shu is always willing to give others a chance, willing to wait and see other possibilities, Du Zhengyi knows that this is wise.

But Zuo Yu appreciated him and recognized them as the same kind of people. Zuo Yu patted his shoulder, and the topic changed, "I heard Liu Ziyu say that they gave you a problematic partner." ”

Du Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was interested, "What did Liu Ziyu say?" How does she know? "She's also a student of Pei Shu, she's been working here, she's a girl who's only interested in innovative magic, and he hasn't spoken to her much. It was strange enough to hear her gossip, not to mention something she wasn't supposed to know.

"When your partner was caught here, he went to pester her." Zuo Yu said with dissatisfaction, "Li Xu's things are getting more and more ugly, I don't know why he wants to arrest a child who is not very capable of Qionglin." ”

"How does Teacher Zuo know that he is incapable?"

"His parents came, but Li Xu from the security department detained the child and prevented him from meeting his parents." Zuo Yu said dissatisfiedly. "I happen to know his parents, and Dr. Luo and his wife are the most outstanding doctors, but unfortunately this child is not like them."

"Dr. Luo and his wife are both doctors?" Du Zhengyi asked in surprise, his voice lowered, "Both of them are masters of thought?" ”

This time it was Zuo Yu's turn to be taken aback, "The list of the Master of Ideas is confidential, how do you know?" ”

This is equivalent to an affirmative answer, but Du Zhengyi also knows that Zuo Yu has never treated him as an outsider, and Zuo Yu has never even regarded him as a student, he always regards him as a colleague, and even as someone who will replace Pei Shu in the future. Although an archmage like Zuo Yu is stubborn and difficult, he also has a simple side.

But these are not what Du Zhengyi has to consider, he has a thought that has been pressed in his heart for a long time. Although Zuo Yu is not a great genius, his diligence also gives him a wealth of knowledge. "Teacher Zuo," Du Zhengyi said with some eagerness, his sincerity in seeking advice made his attitude much more sincere, "Teacher Zuo, I heard that telepathy is a rare ability, and it often appears in the next generation in families with this ability. But if both husband and wife are telepathic, then the chances of having such a child are very high. Isn't that so? ”

"That's right." Zuo Yu said with a little surprise, as if Du Zhengyi, who had been drowsy, suddenly didn't lack sleep, which surprised him a little. "Dr. Luo also regretted when he mentioned the lack of capacity of their only child. Although I don't know how you got the news, Dr. Luo and his wife are the dragon and phoenix among people, and they are almost the best idea mages in this era, and they have helped Qionglin solve a lot of problems. ”

Roach said...... Their family's spiritual ratings are very low......" Du Zhengyi muttered, but the tingling sensations in his heart suddenly became clear, drawing a clear trajectory, pointing to an unbelievable but clear conclusion.

"What are you talking about?" Zuo Yu asked suspiciously, seeing that Du Zhengyi didn't come back to his senses, he didn't think it was wrong, shrugged his shoulders and guessed and said, "Are you talking about their children?" Telepaths have an ambivalent mentality, and the privacy of ordinary people has nowhere to hide in front of them, but they often regard telepathy as their greatest privacy. However, it's not hard to understand, right? ”

He looked at Du Zhengyi with some concern, and often heard those young people talk about Du Zhengyi's high anti-terrorist tendencies, and he seemed to be unable to understand the ordinary feelings and privacy of many people. Although he didn't believe these words, he would still worry about Du Zhengyi.

"Hmm." Du Zhengyi replied to him vaguely, "I still have an experimental result to confirm with Liu Ziyu, I'll go to her and ask." ”

"Wait," Zuo Yu said, stopping Du Zhengyi.

Du Zhengyi raised a little vigilance in his heart.

As a result, Zuo Yu looked at him and asked, "Is your body okay lately?" Your face doesn't look good. ”

Du Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect Zuo Yu to care about him, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"It's okay, no problem." He said vaguely, nodded slightly to Zuo Yu, turned around and walked away.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yu stopped him again, "Since you have partnered with Dr. Luo's child, do you want to go and see him?" I think no matter what happens, Master Li will come to you sooner or later, anyway, you are here today, so it is better to talk to him directly and ask what is going on. ”

Du Zhengyi's face slowly became tired, he blinked and said, "What does that have to do with me?" ”

Zuo Yu sighed, as if he wanted to tell him about the relationship between people, he had already walked away.
