Chapter 194: In front of the museum

Unlike the library, the First University Museum of the History of Magic is located deep in the Silent Forest, with its own separate area like a school's research institute or hunting ground.

Just after eight o'clock in the evening, Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao appeared in a glade not far from the museum.

This is not the first time Zheng Qing has come into contact with the school's Museum of the History of Magic.

Not long ago, when Mr. Wu was teaching him, he took him to a short stop in one of the exhibition halls of the Museum of the History of Magic. The bison, the stake, and the quirky ape-man ensemble in the exhibition hall impressed the young wizard.

But entering this museum through the main entrance is the first time for Zheng Qing.

So it wasn't until in front of the main entrance of the museum that the young public scholarship students knew that this was not like the Shushan Museum, and the front hall was equipped with a glass door, and they could enter as long as they swiped their identity card at the door.

"You mean, it's closed time, and we can't get in?" Zheng Qing stared at the sparkling water in front of the museum, and glanced back at Xiao Xiao, a little speechless.

He originally thought that after coming to the museum, with Dr. Xiao leading the way, everyone could go in directly. Unexpectedly, before I could see the shadow of the museum gate, I was blocked by this abrupt small lake.

It is a small lake about a mile long and wide, with many thick weeping willows scattered on the shore.

The lake was murmuring, and there was no movement in sight except for the sparkling water and the golden full moon reflected on the surface of the lake. The shore of the lake was flooded with lush aquatic weeds and thick weeping willows, and Zheng Qing couldn't find where the water came from or where it was going, but he could vaguely see what he was looking for.

The black main entrance of the First University Museum of the History of Magic sleeps on the other side of the lake.

"It's you who can't get in, not including me. ”

Xiao Xiao corrected Zheng Qing's inappropriate wording, and instead introduced the current situation: "Normally...... I mean, if you visit this museum during the day, you won't see the lake. In front of the museum during the day, there is a wall of water, a moon, and various magical creatures of the lake. At night, when the moonlight falls, the wall transforms into a lake, constructing the outermost layer of the museum. ”

Zheng Qing glanced up at the vague white moon shadow hidden behind the clouds in mid-air, and then looked down at the clear-looking, golden-colored full moon on the surface of the lake.

"The devil knows there's something wrong in the lake. The young student complained: "The two moons in the sky and in the lake are different...... What silverfish thief would be stupid enough to step into such a trap!"

"So this lake is meant to be a great relief for uninvited guests. Xiao Xiao took out a stack of access control cards from his pocket, took out one easily, and threw it to Zheng Qing: "But we are not silverfish thieves...... We are serious guests. ”

Zheng Qing took a card in surprise.

It is a temporary work pass for museum staff and allows the cardholder to enter and exit the museum freely for any time.

"Can I use this kind of work card too?" Zheng Qing flipped through the milky white card in his hand, and the keywords on it were nothing other than 'First University Museum of the History of Magic' and 'Temporary Access Pass', there was no identity information of the cardholder, and there were no magic anti-counterfeiting measures: "...... Where did you 'borrow' it from?"

He bit the word 'borrow' very hard.

Xiao Xiao helped his glasses: "Didn't I say it in the afternoon? A few days ago, the museum borrowed some people from the library to help, and these temporary passes are what we use." I said hello to my colleague and said that a friend wanted to visit some museums when no one was around, so I borrowed a few of them...... This kind of thing is very common. ”

"Do they think you're dating a girlfriend? Zheng Qing said with a smile.

“...... Although these badges are anonymous, they are not just accessible to anyone. Xiao Xiao didn't answer Zheng Qing's quip, and reminded with a straight face:

"Didn't I ask you to bring your student ID card with you before you came? Only current students with positive credit scores can use these work cards...... It's a bit lazy but an effective way to screen it. I guess the school thinks that even if a student wants to wander around the museum, it won't cause any big trouble. ”

As they spoke, there was the sound of rustling footsteps behind the two.

Xiao Xiao immediately shut up and glanced at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing took out the thick bulging law book from the gray cloth bag, opened the title page, and activated the formation of the binding spell. A pale green halo of magic flickered in the gloomy night, and soon a long figure appeared in the sight of the two wizards.

It's Jiang Yu.

She wore a wide cloak with a tight-fitting hunting suit made of small dragon skin, boots on her feet, many bits and pieces of magic trinkets hanging from her waist, and an open book in her hand.

Zheng Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them put away the law book almost at the same time.

"You're pretty early. The young student smiled and waved at the witch: "What about Li Meng? ”

"I handed over Mengmeng to Qingqiu Mansion, and Councilor Su is willing to help take care of it for one night. The witch replied lightly, and at the same time took out her pocket watch and looked at the time: "...... And it's not too early, didn't you say that we would gather before half past eight? It's already a quarter past eight. ”

The smile on Zheng Qing's face froze.

He almost forgot that Jiang Yu already knew about his relationship with Su Shijun. But even so, when did they become so close?

The witch looked at the witch suspiciously, trying to find any clues in her expression.

But tonight the moonlight was dim, and the witch had a usual cold expression, Zheng Qing stared at it for a long time, and Xiao Xiao, who was staring at her, coughed dryly on the side, and didn't find any clues.

"Ahem," Xiao Xiao coughed lightly, interrupting the young public-funded student's rather impolite 'staring', waved his hand to Jiang Yu enthusiastically, and handed her a temporary work card: "Is the student card belted? ”

Jiang Yu nodded, took the temporary work card, and looked at it silently.

Almost as far as the witch's feet were, and the sound of footsteps of varying severity could be heard again in the woods. The three of them looked back, and soon, two strong figures approached the shore in the dark.

It's Xin Fatzi and Zhang Jixin.

"Why did you two come later than the girls?" Zheng Qing took advantage of the opportunity to give them passes, approached the two companions, and complained in a low voice.

"You have to blame me," Xin Fatzi didn't have the slightest idea of 'acting low-key', and immediately shouted: "It's Zhang Jixin and his brother, there is a support club at night, and he was detained for a long time, and I went to him and served him a plate for a long time!"

The sleeping waterfowl on the shore of the lake were awakened by the sound of the wizard and quacked.

Zheng Qing glared at the fat man viciously.

The other side.

Zhang Jixin's face was slightly red, he took the card with a sigh, and asked in a rough voice: "We can't take a shortcut, we came from the Huanfu promenade and walked through several pavilions...... Then let's go in directly? Hey, why is Sister Yu here too?"

He greeted Jiang Yu excitedly.

"Everyone else is inconvenient tonight, so we asked the class leader to help. Zheng Qing pushed Zhang Jixin rudely towards the lake and explained concisely.
