Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 25 Dry Bones (11) Dry Bones +2
Everyone's eyes looked at Rand Roman, and Rand said with a bitter face, "Teacher, you must have made a mistake. My family is very poor. ”
He didn't want to lie, Sanan's field couldn't open a business house at all. Dai Yana's wooden face had no superfluous expression, and she only said with her eyes, please don't question my intelligence, we are professional.
"The equipment, tools, precautions, etc. for the trip are all in the mission book, you can read them carefully after you go back. Please wait for the specific implementation time, and we will leave as soon as we receive the guests. This mission project is confidential and is forbidden to be disclosed to anyone, understand?"
"Yes, the meeting is over. Remember to keep it absolutely confidential, you don't have to go to class today, I've already asked for your leave. ”
When everyone left, Dai Yana suddenly stopped Xia Ming. He asked Mu Shiyu with a puzzled look, and she only gave him a faint look, and then closed the door to the council.
Xia Ming was a little weak-hearted, and he had the impression that Teacher Dai Yana was not easy to deal with, and she was more rigid and strict than any teacher or instructor. He was a full hour late, and he was afraid it would have to settle accounts with him.
"I'll just bring you one word, the Headmaster told you to stay in the underground labyrinth of the Promethean Pavilion tonight. Diana smiled, as kind as his older sister. But its smile is not pretty, think about how a piece of dry hard wood can be bent into a smiley face. At first, Xia Ming saw the plate of its face evacuated, and thought that its parts were broken.
Dai Yana did not know how many students were furious, because no matter how exquisite the puppeteer's workmanship was, it could never carve out its soul. Many people privately talk that Diana was made by a wizard, and that it has the soul of an old witch parasitic in its body.
"What?" Xia Ming didn't understand its words.
"If you have a guest coming, you have to entertain well. "This is not a meeting, you don't have to be so reserved, can you treat me as a friend?"
Xia Ming thought that if he could be friends with an old witch, his luck would not be too good. Still, he said, "Of course." ”
He also asked his question enthusiastically, "What kind of guest is it, and why do you want me to go there? ”
"It's true that you can't enter, but it's open to you tonight and for a few days to come. ”
"I think it's going to be a good thing, and I'm honored. ”
It's a ghost's honor, whether it's him making tea for others, or someone else making tea for him, he doesn't want to. It's just that he is a key pawn at a certain moment, just enough to suppress the opponent. It doesn't really matter, mainly... I heard that the basement is not very clean.
"You have to be careful, as long as you guard the entrance, if you want to go in and have a look, there are the corpses and heads of the lords of the past, and the map of the labyrinth is hanging on the wall, be sure to look carefully. ”
It turned out to be a tomb. Xia Ming thought to himself, could there be a tomb robber gang to hold the corpse, thinking that the lord's head could be worth a lot of money as the honor of the school. But how dare they do that? It's hunters' territory, they're hunting monsters, they're monsters of monsters.
He hurriedly thanked him: "No, no, I will definitely guard the entrance." ”
I really doubt the aesthetics of those people, and I want this kind of gloomy thing.
"Really?"
Diana was obviously unable to comprehend the complex human mind, but suddenly she said, "You don't seem to be very concerned, don't you trust us?"
Xia Ming was stunned and replied honestly, "No." It's not that you don't trust, it's that you've all arranged things so well that we don't have anything to do. ”
"It used to be true, but now it's changed," Diana said. We're raising hunters, not mindless Deadpools who only know how to kill. We have to have countless headmaster-like heads, and even chess pieces have to have their own thoughts. In this way, even if the player makes a mistake, the piece can correct itself. But we can only correct it if he is wrong, otherwise, modifying the order without authorization will lead to unpredictable consequences. After all, no one can be like the principal. Can you understand?"
Xia Ming nodded thoughtfully.
"So, trust us, no matter what. There are no absolute wicked people here, because they all have a last resort, and there are no absolute good people, because everyone is selfish. But don't worry, because the principal is still there. ”
When Xia Ming heard her mention the principal, it was like a parishioner mentioning their god to a friend outside the church.
Xia Ming could no longer see her as it, maybe there was an old witch living in its body.
"Do you have selfish intentions?" he asked tentatively.
"Absolutely. "I don't want to see anyone like me, and if a puppet like me appears, I'll definitely break it into pieces and throw it in the furnace for firewood, and then kill the person who designed it." ”
Xia Ming grew his mouth.
"Am I scaring you?" asked Diana, worried.
"No... Not. Xia Ming said in his heart, with a vicious heart.
"If you had that ability, I wouldn't kill you, but I'll burn it. Diana felt that the promise would make it seem gentler. No, it's her, it's human, not human.
"There's something I have to tell you. Dai Yana abruptly changed the subject, "The hunter you met last night was the 'Night One'"
Sadly, he disappeared again. What I know for sure is that they are not 'ghosts', and the ghosts were exterminated by the knights very early. ”
"And what are they?"
"I don't know. Surprisingly, she replied. It's not that you can't say that you keep it secret, but you really don't know.
"The girl surnamed Mu said, "The hunter you see stays with the monster. As far as I know, there are only two possibilities at the moment, one, that the hunter is a lord disguise, and second, they have the means to tame monsters. I prefer the latter, because it proves that monsters and humans can live in harmony. ”
Xia Ming said: "Three, we lie. ”
"You're not lying. We did find traces of the giant beast in the ancient forest, and from the number of monster heads recovered, it was indeed the 'i943' you killed that was missing. ”
"When you go out, you have to be careful to protect yourself, there are four old-timers in the academy guarding you, so no one dares to make a big deal here. The girl surnamed Mu is also a good student, and there is also a big hunter family behind her, and tying her up after going out is equivalent to tying up her life. ”
Xia Ming said in his heart, this little life is good, but it doesn't sound very valuable. But the talisman is nothing, then what is the talisman, it is obviously a life talisman. Sooner or later, it's going to be finished.
"Suros seems to have an opinion on you, do you know why?"
"That's Su Tiancai. Xia Ming smiled helplessly.
"He's a genius, but he's not as good as you. As long as you don't fight. Dai Yana is very relieved about this.
Xia Ming said, "What about the fight?"
Dai Yana said: "It's very simple, I'll apply to the principal to lock you up alone and fight as much as you want." ”
Xia Ming quickly shut his mouth.
"The worst of you is Rand, but this man is clever enough and as a local, he can help a lot this time. It is Ming Hong and Zhang Monkey who are the most prone to accidents. Dai Yana then listed the "crimes" of the two, most of which were examples of wanting to learn to run without learning to walk.
Xia Ming sweated on his forehead, "Zhang Monkey just hasn't grown up yet." As he said this, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to be very old. I want to show myself too much in front of everyone, I can only say that I am young. He used to be happy with his name at the top of the list. There's nothing wrong with that, it's something he's earned with his hard work, so why shouldn't he be happy. But what's the use, he's just a chess piece, whether he becomes a bachelor of the Tai Academy or a hunter of the military academy, his fate is specified, it's just that what this chess piece does is different.
"The two of them are often clever, and compared to Felin and Mina, he is more calm and mature. It's reassuring to give them something to do. But the problem is, Ferrin's looks... No one will believe that he is a good stubble, Mina is a little girl, you should be embarrassed to blame her for everything. ”
"Wait... Why are you telling me this?" Xia Ming didn't understand.
"This is a special rule for our cadet hunters, and it is very safe to hand over command to the deputy group. Think about the fact that if you encounter an enemy of equal strength, the first person they will kill is the boss of your team. "As the secret core of the team, do you need to know everyone?"
Xia Ming was dumbfounded, it turned out that the so-called boss was actually a bodyguard, and his subordinate was the boss.....
