Chapter 106: Transactions
"Some time ago, a small world in the Silent Forest was destroyed, do you know about this?"
"I don't know. ”
"The authorities will give very generous rewards. ”
"I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"If you can help investigate that case...... Or provide some valuable clues that will be very helpful in your academic career later in school. ”
"Excuse me, can you give me a hint?...... I really don't know what you're talking about. ”
"I hope you keep it that way. Both on and off campus. This thing is dangerous for you. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at it. ”
This is the end of the conversation between the young public scholarship student and the black cat. No head and no tail. The black cat glanced at Zheng Qing deeply, and finally licked a few mouthfuls of goat's milk skin on the plate, flicked its tail, and left Su Shijun's office.
Silently, like a shadow, it slipped out of the crack in the door, not at all alarming the busy researchers outside the office.
Zheng Qing wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crappy lie," Su Shijun's mocking voice sounded behind his desk, "You can't even fool a cat." ”
"It's not a cat. Zheng Qing stared at the direction of the black cat's departure, thinking about every word it said, and at the same time corrected it in a low voice: "And I don't expect to lie to it...... I just need to let it know that there are things I can't tell it, and that's it. ”
"Can't tell it...... Can you tell me then?" and behind her desk, the witch removed her hexagonal eyes, revealing a pair of large, beautiful eyes.
Her pupils were as mesmerizing as the prettiest stars in the starry sky in the middle of the night. A lock of hair fell from the forehead, shimmering in the sunlight with a brownish-red hue. The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, her fingers crossed on the table, and she leaned forward slightly, her face revealing a hint of curiosity that was just right.
Zheng Qing only glanced at this picture in the corner of his eyes, so he snorted and quickly looked away.
He was fully convinced that the owner of the office had not used any enchanting magic on him, but that did not detract from the witch's charm at the moment.
Beauty doesn't make sense at all.
"I signed a pact of silence! I can't tell if I knew!" the boy shouted—he wasn't sure about the former. Because over the past year, he has signed too many pacts of silence at school. But on the latter point, he was sure. The seed of 'order' and the things associated with it must never be told to anyone.
"Hush. ”
The witch put away the curiosity on her face and put the glasses back on, muttering in a low voice, "Coward." ”
But I don't know if I despise the boy for not even daring to look at himself, or if he is laughing at the sensitivity of the male witch on this topic.
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dared to take his eyes back.
Behind the desk, Su Shijun had already picked up the quill and the experiment report again, and began to write and draw on it.
The sun, the beauty, the glasses, and the quill—Zheng Qing didn't know why he had such a bizarre synaesthesia—it was a beautiful picture.
In this way, he watched intently for a long time.
Until the quill in Su Shijun's hand paused and stopped sketching.
Does this seem like a sign of impatience?
The boy immediately came back to his senses.
"Ahem...... If nothing else, I'll go back first?" he asked tentatively, feeling for the fake note in his pocket.
Su Shijun asked him for a whole day off, and it didn't make sense to just chat with the big black cat after coming to her office. She should have other things to discuss, the boy thought very unconfidently.
"Dada. ”
The tip of the quill taps against the table with a crisp sound. The elf in gray uniform floated silently in front of the boy with a fruit basket and tea tray, showing enough etiquette to the guests.
"You're a contracted experimenter at the 2D Evolution Lab. Su Shijun tilted his head and looked at the wizard sitting on the sofa: "But in recent months, you have not participated in the follow-up test work of the laboratory......
Zheng Qing glanced down at the shadow under his feet:
"I thought that after you cut off my shadow, my mission would be complete. ”
"When the shadow returned, you didn't provide the relevant reports as agreed, and you didn't come to the lab for relevant health assessments. The owner of the office reminded.
Zheng Qing finally realized a problem that he had been ignoring.
"How did it come to you!" the wizard's eyes widened and he glanced back at the office door.
"Who?"
"The black cat! the black cat...... I mean, I remember it being taken away by one, one other agency...... How could they allow it to come to you!"
The Black Cat was involved in a forbidden spell - although only in the two-dimensional world - and was therefore taken away by the authorities. Zheng Qing absolutely did not believe that at such a critical moment, the school would relax the control of the forbidden spell and allow the Yuexia Council to access the relevant knowledge.
And Su Shijun is one of the five members of the upper house of the Yuexia Assembly, the absolute core of the Yuexia Assembly.
She may be gentler than her peers in her attitude towards First University and ordinary wizards, but that doesn't mean the school will let its guard down on her. This point, from strictly limiting the frequency of Su Shijun's appearance in the first university, and just giving her the position of deputy director, is very telling.
"The authorities?" the witch sneered, "Heh, a small deal." They wanted to know what had happened in the woods when the secret realm blew up that day...... It just so happened that the Council under the moon knew a little clue. ”
"Clues?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but ask, "What do you know?"
Su Shijun looked at him scrutinically, and Zheng Qing, who had been looking at it, felt furious in his heart, before he smiled and replied, "It is said that the new Great Wizard in the Northern District was doing an illegal magic experiment in the secret realm that day...... Involving the starry sky...... It also has something to do with you. ”
"There's no way the authorities will allow you to study it. "The boy felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
"Of course not. The witch changed the experiment report and continued to sketch on it, seemingly casually:
"But it did get out of this lab...... A lot of data needs its help to improve. The 'relevant departments' do not deny this. After all, this is still the First University, and this is still a laboratory of the First University. I'm just one of the people in charge of this lab. ”
This did not reduce the risk of the spread of knowledge involving forbidden spells, and the wizard thought worriedly, wondering what was in the school's boke bags and rice bags.
"Squeak!"
The door of the office was pushed open a small slit, and then two small heads came in, one up and down, Su Ya on the top, Poseidon on the bottom, and the four foxes had their ears on the ridges, looking very vigilant.
After noticing the gazes of the two pairs of Qi brushes, Su Ya immediately took advantage of her ability to speak and pointed to Poseidon who was hiding below her:
"She pushed the door open, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Squeak!"
Poseidon loudly protested against the betrayal of his accomplices.
