"In short, there are too few clues. ”

Xiao Xiao ignored Zheng Qing's roar, but continued to analyze slowly: "...... What's more, you are too timid and unskilled to be slipped away by that little mouse right under your nose. There is no way to draw valid conclusions based on current data alone. ”

Although these words were a bit harsh, they did not surprise everyone.

After all, the previous encounter showed a bit of strange signs everywhere from beginning to end, and everyone couldn't grasp too many clues. Dr. Xiao was able to analyze three different guesses, which is already very satisfying.

"In fact, I think there is another situation that needs to be taken more seriously than the identity of the little mouse. The doctor turned his head and looked at Zheng Qing with burning eyes: "You just said that on the way back, you passed by the pavilion of the promenade around the lake...... Don't see the number of the pavilion?"

Zheng Qing did not hesitate, and nodded his head very quickly.

Xiao Xiao was talking about a pavilion that the forest cat passed by on the way to find the rat's nest - when they went, the young wizards only cared about chatting, and did not pay attention to the number of the pavilion. So when I went back, everyone paid special attention.

As a result, something unusual was noticed.

“...... At the time, I wondered if it was because I was short. The young student explained quickly: "You know, I was still in a state of transformation at that time, and my vision was relatively low...... But then I asked the others, and they all said they didn't see the pavilion number. ”

"Actually, the pavilion is numbered, but it has been erased. Fat Xin added next to him.

"Erased?" Xiao Xiao hugged his arms and held his chin, his eyes revealing a bit of inquiry.

"Isn't the number of the general pavilion a charm board hung on the pavilion pillar, and the number of the pavilion is written on the charm board. The pavilion also had a rune board, but the surface of the rune board seemed to have been scraped off with a knife, and even the white wooden core was exposed...... So we can't see the numbers on it. ”

"It doesn't make sense. Zheng Qing said softly: "I remember that more than one book said that the First University is a living university, and the names of the pavilions, teaching buildings, squares and other activity places in the school are all named by the school 'itself'. ”

"It's like the first hall, the No. 7 pavilion, the school wall, and so on. ”

"If anyone wants to erase the number of a pavilion, then there is only the school itself, and if any wizard has the ability to erase the name of a building that the 'school' has given him, that doesn't mean..."

"Does that mean that wizard has the ability to appear in any corner of the school at any time?" Xiao Xiao finished Zheng Qing's guess, but at the same time shook his head and denied: "This is just your guess, to be precise, every one of us here doesn't know much more about this school than Tuan Tuan...... Maybe you don't know much about it. ”

Suddenly, when he heard the wizards mention his name, the fat cat who had been in a lump and resting in the corner of the desk had his ears pricked up, and then he crooked his face and squinted his eyes, glancing at the doctor who was talking.

"Meow?" it thought the doctor was calling him something.

"It's okay, it's okay...... It's none of your business. Fat Xin hurriedly leaned over, stroked his hair a few times, and whispered: "The doctor just made an analogy, you continue to sleep, continue to sleep." ”

Tuan Tuan shook his ears, turned his head in displeasure, buried his head in the crook of his arm again, and continued to snore.

A few of the little elves hanging on it who were also resting seemed to sense the slight movement of the fat cat, flapped their wings twice in their sleep, and muttered a few times.

The young wizards who were in the middle of the meeting all lowered their voices.

“...... I'll go back to the library to check the materials," After a pause, Xiao Xiao rubbed the notebook in front of him and added, "Maybe I can get a clue from the notes of a senior." Theoretically, it is not possible for those pavilions to be missing their numbers. ”

"I'll fly a paper crane for Deng Zi a little later to see if they have any news. Zheng Qing also nodded, agreeing with the doctor's opinion: "Whether it is that pavilion or that mouse, it is a bit strange. ”

"It's supposed to be a weird school, it's not a big deal. Xin Fat Man stretched his arms, stretched his waist, excited, and finally said a good news for him: "In short, no matter what you can find in the end, I only know that the 'Hunting' page in the next issue of the school magazine finally has a new theme." ”

......

......

After returning with the cats in the morning, Lin Guo went straight back to Alpha Castle to do his unfinished alchemical experiments. As a result, he did not attend the small discussion of the Sin Hunters.

After listening to Zheng Qing's explanation, the little wizard poked his head out of his cloak and looked at the young public scholarship student with a pair of sparkling eyes: "So, we were indeed not wrong in the morning...... That pavilion is unnumbered, right?"

Zheng Qing looked at the little wizard with a positive attitude, and some bad thoughts suddenly rose in his heart.

His hunch came true after hearing Lin Guo's next sentence.

"Now, I said, Captain...... Shall we go to the pavilion now?" the little wizard lowered his voice, but his tone did not hide the excitement, "As you said, this school is alive. Perhaps the pavilion's number was erased in the morning, but it was restored in the evening. ”

Zheng Qing hissed, looked at the little wizard in front of him through the dim moonlight above his head, and then couldn't help but turn his head to look at the quiet grove behind him.

The dark nights of winter are heavier and colder than the nights of summer.

There is no accompaniment of insects, no night finches flapping their wings, and no rustling of leaves in the night wind. In the night, apart from the biting cold wind, only the whimper of the branches was frozen and cried.

Just by looking at it, the young public-funded student couldn't help but shiver a few times.

"No, no, no," Zheng Qing's head shook a rattle, and reminded in a low voice: "It's impossible, dispel this idea as soon as possible." We are now being 'punished' and must not go wrong, let alone leave early or be found absent...... Do you want to continue patrolling in the middle of the night next semester?"

"Hush. The little wizard pursed his lips and tucked his head back into his cloak, not breathing.

Although he didn't say anything, it made the young publicly-funded student's face a little hot—as if he had inadvertently discovered his timidity.

In his arms, the little fox, who had been in turmoil, seemed to feel the embarrassment of the public student, chirped happily, and shook his big tail fluttering.
