"What should I do, do you want to go in now?" Alan hesitated a little, and the unexpected situation disrupted his plans.

"Hmm...... Let's wait a little longer, they don't seem to want others to hear what they just said...... I guess I'm going to get into trouble if I go in now......" After thinking about it for a while, Alan decided to hide and watch from the position he had just placed for a while.

It wasn't until the clock struck four o'clock that Alan finally felt that the time was almost up, so he went back to the door and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

But there was no one in the house.

"Knock knock!" Alan knocked again.

But he still didn't hear Professor Frost letting him in.

"Strange ......," Alan wondered for a moment, "Are you too tired to fall asleep on your desk?"

Alan waited a little and struck it a third time.

But there was silence in the room.

"What's going on...... Did I just leave with her while I wasn't paying attention?"

He held his breath and listened to the movement inside, but it was quiet as if there was no one at all, and now if a needle landed, he could probably hear it.

He put his ear to the door again, trying to listen more closely, but accidentally overexerted too much force, and the door creaked open.

"It's not locked...... Does that mean Professor Frost is still in there?" Alan was stunned.

Given that the door had been pushed open, it was too late for him to turn back, so he had to bite the bullet and walk in.

But when he walked in, he was stunned, because he was about to look up to say hello, but he found that the chair was empty, and Professor Frost, who he thought was supposed to be sitting on it, was nowhere to be seen!

Is there really no one?!

Alan panicked for a moment, because he could see clearly that it was only Mr. Winslow who had gone downstairs just now, but now even Professor Frost was gone......

The room had an unobstructed view, and there were no other doors, and Professor Frost couldn't have gotten out from anywhere else.

But he looked around again and confirmed that there was no one else in the room but him.

"Where's Professor Frost?"

Alan's heart pounded nervously, and he was a little confused by the strange series of strange things, and it wasn't until a while later that he calmed down and began to look around the room.

The room was about the size of Professor Stubourne's office, the size of a few desks, with a tall table and a chair against the wall at the innermost point of the room, surrounded by a circle of bookshelves.

The only difference is that instead of the magic lamp that is now ubiquitous on Professor Frost's desk, there is an oil lamp that looks unique and ancient, and it still has a faint blue-cyan fluorescence inside.

Attracted by the light, Alan moved closer to take a closer look, but after taking a few steps, he found that the closer he got, the more he couldn't help but stare at it...... After a while, his vision and consciousness began to blur, and even made him feel a little tired.

Alan realized that there might be something strange about this lamp, and a wave of alarm rose in his heart, but he couldn't stop, as if his body was out of his control......

Alan panicked, he vaguely felt that he couldn't get too close to this lamp, but there was nothing he could do.

But at this moment, Alan suddenly felt something moving at his feet, as if it was still tearing at his trouser legs.

Immediately afterward, he felt as if something had bitten him on the back of his hand.

"Ahh He looked down and saw that it was a black cat that had jumped out of an unknown corner that had bitten him.

But thanks to its bite on Allen, his consciousness broke free from the strange feeling just now.

The cat is small and black, with only white hair on its whiskers and jaw. Its eyes are interesting, one yellow-brown and the other blue-blue. After biting Allen, he crouched in front of him and didn't move.

Alan looked at it closely, and it stared at Alan closely.

"Uh...... Thank you......" Alan whispered after a moment. Because in a sense, it just did him a favor.

The cat also got up from the ground and began to circle around Allen.

That's when Alan found out that it actually had two tails!

"Meow......" it whispered, crouched at Allen's feet, and began to rub its head against his trouser legs, not at all like when he had bitten him.

Alan was stunned, not knowing what it was trying to do.

However, since it did not seem hostile now, but was very tame, Alan also crouched down with confidence and looked at it carefully.

"Meow......" it whispered again and began to rub its head against the back of Alan's hand.

Alan touched its head, and it squinted its eyes as well, looking like it was enjoying it.

But it didn't take long for it to suddenly open its eyes, bite Alan's cuff, and drag Eren towards the door.

"Hey...... Hey......" Alan was pulled by its sudden move, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Professor Frost's voice above his head: "It seems that Mary doesn't seem to like you very much. ”

Alan trembled with fright and almost crouched on the ground.

He suddenly turned his head and found that there was another person in the room where he had been alone, and it was Professor Frost, who had mysteriously disappeared before.

She was standing at the table, looking at Alan coldly.

Looking at each other, Alan was so confused by the sudden situation that he didn't know what to say.

"How can you enter the professors' offices at will?" Professor Frost looked a little angry, and his tone was full of questioning, "No wonder Mary wants to kick you out, you're so rude!"

"Uh...... Sorry, Professor, I didn't mean to...... I knocked on the door for a while, and when I saw that no one answered, the door opened, and I wanted to come in and check it out......" Alan stood up and quickly explained.

Professor Frost stopped speaking after hearing Alan's answer. He stared at him for a long time before he said, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Ah...... That's it......" Alan thought for a moment and said, "It's about my friend Alyssa...... She...... She's been in a strange state lately......"

"Oh?" Professor Frost sat down in his chair, "how strange?"

"Hmm...... In the first few days, she said that she was very sleepy and listless all day, but yesterday she began to have amnesia again, and she could barely remember all her friends......" Alan said cautiously, "uh...... Remembering that she told me that she has been coming here every evening lately to receive your extra lessons, I wanted to ask if you know what this is all about...... Her friends are in a hurry now......"

"Amnesia," Professor Frost still stared at Allen, his eyes not blinking, "If you're sick, you should go to the doctor, not come here." ”

"But we've taken her to Dr. Watson, and he's helpless......," said Allen, "and it's because I can't find a cause that I want to come here to ask you ......."

"I don't know. As soon as Allen's voice fell, Professor Frost replied coldly, "Maybe it's because she's been using too much magic lately, which has put too much burden on her spirit." ”

"Uh......" Alan was momentarily speechless. Because of Professor Frost's attitude, his trip should have been fruitless.

"Meow!" the cat at Allen's feet suddenly barked, and began to tug at his trouser legs again, pulling hard in the direction of the doorway, and looked restless.

"Come to Mommy, Mary. Professor Frost stared at the cat and said, "Don't be too impatient, the guy you don't like won't be here for long, he's almost gone." ”

"Uh......" Alan understood what Professor Frost meant, so he had to say politely, "That...... I'll take my leave, Professor...... Disturbed ......"

Professor Frost ignored him and continued to stare at the cat.

But as soon as Alan turned around and wanted to go out, the cat suddenly blocked Allen's path uncharacteristically, as if to prevent him from going out.

"Huh?" Alan was stunned and looked back at Professor Frost helplessly.

"Come to Mommy...... I heard that there was no ......," Professor Frost repeated, but this time in a very slow tone, "Come to Mommy...... Mary, Mary ......"

Mary suddenly stopped pulling, let go of her mouth and looked at Professor Frost in a daze, and then walked slowly without looking back, lying at Professor Frost's feet.

Professor Frost picked Mary up and began combing her hair.

"Well......" Seeing this scene, Alan suddenly felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, just as Alan walked to the door, he accidentally caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a painting hanging high on the wall behind Professor Frost. Since he didn't wear glasses, he stared at it for a long time before realizing that it was actually a strange eye......

The pupil of that eye was blood-red, and the place where it should have been the white of the eye was pitch black, and it was ...... No eye sockets!

"What a strange ......" Alan couldn't help but shudder, this eye really looked a little scary, and it was a bit similar to the pattern on the forbidden book.

But the next second, when he was about to look away, he found that the eye was ...... It seems to have moved!

Alan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat all over his body, rubbing his eyes to take a closer look.

But then Professor Frost's voice rang out again: "You can go." ”

Alan realized that Professor Frost had noticed his strangeness as well, after all, he had been standing in the doorway for a while......
