When he came back to his senses, Zheng Qing happened to hear a black-robed wizard whispering a report to Hilda, and he immediately pricked up his ears.

"There is no sign of anomalous life in the surroundings. Less than three hundred meters away, there was only one gypsy witch playing with a group of cats," the black-robed wizard's voice was very sure: "There are no other wizards found nearby besides her." Originally, I was going to bring her over, but considering the special situation, I will come back and report to you first. ”

Zheng Qing couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and sniffed.

He seemed to smell the familiar scent in the air.

"Gypsy witch?" Assistant Hilda glanced back at Zheng Qing in surprise, obviously he was also suspicious of the witch's identity, and paused before he said to Zheng Qing: "You go and take a look, if it's Yelena, take her back to the office to do a simple investigation...... As for the others, follow me to Linzhong Lake to confirm the movements of those fishmen. ”

The young public-funded student nodded his head again and again, and several black-robed students also responded in unison.

The corners of the robe flew, the cool breeze surged, rolled up a few dead leaves, and the black figure disappeared into the clearing.

......

......

The gypsy witch was indeed Elena.

Seeing her back from a distance and seeing the beautiful hair, Zheng Qing confirmed the matter.

When Zheng Qing found Yelena, she was standing under the cat fruit tree, looking up at the large and small hairy fruits on the tree. The hairy fruits hang on the branches, some squint and snore comfortably, some open their eyes and turn on a pair of small yellow and green lights in the night, and some hang down their tails, and the tips of their furry tails sway in the wind in the air.

The wizard held his breath and slowed down, intending to surprise the witch.

But when he was less than ten meters away from the witch, the witch suddenly spoke, turned her back to him, and asked:

"Do they know they're cats, you say?"

This made the wizard, who was about to scare her, suddenly stopped, and his face showed a trace of embarrassment after the prank failed: "What?"

"Do you think a cat can perceive that it is a cat?" the witch asked, still not looking back.

Zheng Qing finally confirmed that Yelena knew that she was coming.

Although he didn't know how Elena decided that the person behind him was him.

"Perhaps," the boy was a little confused, still wondering where he had shown his face.

The witch turned her head and looked at the wizard with a smile, "Do you mean that cats are self-aware creatures?"

The witch was furious by her laughter.

"I don't think so. The boy finally focused his thinking skills on the topic at hand, and replied thoughtfully, "After all, self-aware creatures are listed in the Wizarding Code, and cats are not among them. Of course, I'm not a cat either, so I don't know what cats think. ”

The witch pursed her lips and said, "Yes...... You're not a cat anyway. ”

For a moment, Zheng Qing wanted to admit that he was the black cat, but for a clever witch, admitting it to her could cause more unexpected trouble. After much hesitation, Zheng Qing finally remained silent.

Yelena paused for a moment, as if expecting the boy to say something, and then she could say something too. But Zheng Qing's silent silence made her little expectation come to naught.

A wry smile appeared on the witch's lips, and she turned around again, continuing to look at the hairballs hanging from the branches, while whispering to herself, "You are not a cat, I don't know what cats think...... It's like I'm not a good student either, and I don't know how a good student uses his talents. ”

"I want to know what is impossible to know, and do what is impossible to do...... It's a task that magic can do. ”

“...... People are not the same. ”

"At First University, some people finish their studies as registered wizards in their third year, but they stay in school because they want to manage their network, consolidate their foundation, and go further on the path of wizarding, while some people stay in the academy until their senior year because they only have the ability to follow the rules. ”

"There are also people who can't do without the school. Zheng Qing moved to the witch's side and stood side by side with her, while adding: "There are not a few students in the school who fail to take the make-up examination every year. ”

The gypsy witch couldn't help but laugh, and the smile seemed to illuminate the whole cat-fruit tree, and even the hairy fruits hanging from the branches shook their ears and opened their eyelids.

"Nicholas doesn't like to hear that. The witch stopped her desire to continue the conversation, tilted her head, and glanced at the boy, "But you didn't come here at night to say such witty things. ”

Zheng Qing suddenly woke up to the task on his body.

"Li Meng just fainted over there, and the wizard from the school just came to check it, and when he saw you here, let me take you back to make a simple record. As if worried that the witch was thinking too much, Zheng Qing also explained: "The person in charge of the investigation report is Assistant Teacher Hilda, and he is now going to Linzhong Lake to ask the fishmen for questioning." He asked me to take you to the office to take notes. ”

"Li Meng fainted?" Yelena's expression was very calm, and her tone was not a little surprised: "Sooner or later...... Didn't she faint many times last semester?"

Zheng Qing's face showed a trace of distress: "This is the strangest part. After all, it's been a long time since we've heard of her fainting, and just now her face was very pale, as if she had lost too much blood......"

There was a hint of unease in the Gypsy Witch's eyes.

"Have you informed Jiang Yu of this?" she reminded the young public-funded student of his analysis.

Zheng Qing gasped.

"Ahh......h I just heard that you were here, and I was so anxious that I forgot about it. ”

This kind of silent compliment is often more heartwarming than many sensual love words.

"Let's go to the office first, don't delay business. The witch smiled at the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand, and grabbed Zheng Qing's arm very naturally.

Zheng Qing was dragged by her, and followed behind him stiffly.

In the night, there was a fragmentary chatter between the wizard and the witch:

"Why didn't you go to the library today?"

"In a bad mood. ”

"What are you doing under the cat's fruit tree?"

"Is that tree called the Cat Fruit Tree? I'm just having fun watching those cats......

"100% support your point of view! I dare say that purring cats are the most healing sound in the world. ”

"Then why don't you keep a cat as a pet and a little fox?"

“...... It's a very complicated, very complicated thing. ”
