Chapter 163: The Origin of the Little White Cat
Jiang Yu originally had no plans to visit the campus at night tonight.
Especially now that it is a cold day, and the kitten she has transformed into is just an ordinary short-haired kitten, and there is no long hair and thick fat to protect her from the wind and cold, it is really not a wise choice to go out and walk in this environment.
But after dinner, when she hurried to the Shushan Pavilion, she was annoyed to find that the desk she usually sat on had been occupied by several unfamiliar faces. Towards the end of the semester, more and more young wizards in the academy began to appear in the library, which made some of the people who were usually in the library a little uncomfortable.
For example, Jiang Yu, this is the second time that her position has been occupied.
On weekdays, when she comes to the library after dinner, she can find a spacious and comfortable corner to read. Unlike now, even if she searched up and down the library, she couldn't find another free place.
Out of the library, Jiang Yu came to the teaching building with a 1/10,000 hope—because the end of the semester was approaching, the school had specially opened a number of classrooms for everyone to review, and the opening hours were extended to 10 o'clock in the evening—but not surprisingly, every study room was also full of revision students. Among them, there are many senior students with one, two, or even three black borders on their robes.
The witch had never noticed that there were so many students in the school.
Of course, not every wizard who occupies a position is studying well. In the process of searching for a vacant seat, the witch found that more than one couple was grinding at their desks, and some people had a story book of the brave and the dragon next to the review questions.
However, no matter how much the men wasted that precious position, there was no reason for the witch to get up and leave.
First come, first served, that's all.
With a bit of melancholy and unwilling thoughts, after returning to the dormitory, the empty dormitory told the witch another fact, that is, Li Meng was not there tonight.
Jiang Yu then remembered that Li Meng was going to Qingqiu Mansion tonight to help Su Ya pick pumpkins. She had already communicated with Su Man, the head maid of the Qingqiu Mansion, about this matter, and the two little girls did not mess around.
Without the little bugs chattering, the quiet and empty dormitory delights the witch. I can't help but have a feeling of 'the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'.
What if there are no empty seats in the library? What if there are no empty seats in the study room? She can study in the dormitory!
However, after opening the textbook and simply doing a few exercises, the witch realized that she was still too young.
The dorm room was never a good place to study—not to mention the footsteps of the tartar in the hallways, or the enticing smell of pillows, quilts, and shower gel in the air, the fluffy bear that dangled at her feet from time to time was a distraction.
This feeling intensified when she analyzed a talisman and her thoughts were interrupted by a stuffed bear tugging at her trouser legs—the stuffed bear wanted her to help brush a fluffy fluff. , doesn't this hairy bear know that girls don't have any resistance to small animals like Pu Fluff at all?
After playing with the fluffy fluff for more than ten minutes, Jiang Yu suddenly realized that he was still reviewing his homework. For a moment, the witch was eager to stuff the stuffed bear named Li Neng into the incinerator and burn it to ashes, or throw it into Linzhong Lake to be used as a trophy for the fishmen.
Immediately, she realized her mistake.
In particular, she chose to review in the dormitory, which was a big mistake.
That's right, if you can study well in the dormitory, why do you have a special study room?
In frustration, Jiang Yu looked up at the sky outside the window, which had completely darkened, and listened to the sound of the cold wind blowing on the glass, and suddenly an impulse suddenly appeared in his heart.
Why don't you go out for a walk today?
Of course, what she called 'going out for a walk' was not like other wizards, wearing robes and holding a magic book, pacing along the promenade around the lake near Bell Lake.
Her 'go out for a walk' is to go to the campus to track down the murderer of the kitten after her transformation.
Do what you think.
Jiang Yu dropped the textbook and review questions in his hand, opened the desk drawer, and took out a transformation potion from it, without any mixing, and drank it directly. Although the taste is slightly worse when used in this way, it is better than the speed of deformation.
She didn't want to be lying on the bed slowly deforming after Li Meng came back from the Qingqiu Mansion.
By the time the moon was on the slanting branches, the witch had already completed her transformation and appeared on the bluestone path outside the dormitory.
Because of the weather, before going out, she also hung a magical jade pendant around her neck that had the multiple effects of cold protection and warmth, protection and attack. As for the stuffed bear, she stayed in the dormitory to help the fluffy fluff brush the hair.
It was close to eight o'clock in the evening.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the summer night, the campus in winter is unusually bleak.
Even a few passers-by also shrunk their necks, their hands in their pockets, and their steps hurried. Unless necessary, few students waste magic items such as talismans to keep warm.
The little white cat walks lightly on the grass.
Compared to the bluestone pavement, walking among the dry grass makes her paw pads feel a little more comfortable.
If you're lucky, you might be able to meet the kitten's killer tonight, and if you're unlucky, you'll be able to meet the black cat you saved before.
No matter what, no matter how bad luck is, nothing worse will happen than tutoring Li Meng in her homework or staying in the dormitory to help the stuffed bear bathe.
Thinking of this, the little white cat's steps became much lighter.
The lightness hesitated a little as it passed by a fork.
To the left, there is a bluestone road leading to Linzhong Lake.
To the right, there is the road that leads to the grove in the back garden of the school.
It stands to reason that the kitten should turn to the left. Whether it was the clues she had collected before, or the greatest possibility, she habitually limited the kitten's range of activity to the vicinity of Linzhong Lake.
But perhaps, a little bit of flexibility can be done today?
The kitten's raised paw was lowered, then changed to another, hesitated, and stepped onto the overgrown path.
Not long after she left, she keenly sensed a large wave of 'kind' in the air.
Soon, she came to the bottom of the big locust tree.
Then look up.
She saw a tree-sized cat, hanging in clusters like ripe fruit among the treetops.
There was also a black cat with four paws on the snow and red eyes, squinting and looking down at her.
