The day before, Zheng Qing was still discussing with his companions the possibility of intensifying the riots at Linzhong Lake.

The next Saturday night, he saw the 'possibility'.

According to the previous plan, on Saturday night, the Sin Hunting Team, together with Jiang Yu, Li Meng, Liu Feifei and Nicholas, carried out the 'School Investigation Operation', on the one hand, to continue to search for the possible Faceling, and on the other hand, to help Liu Feifei find the lost snake pet.

The group agreed to meet in the No. 11 pavilion on the shore of Linzhong Lake.

The pavilion is located in the northeast direction of Linzhong Lake, outside the pavilion, across the railing is a gently inclined grassland, because the spring thunder has just sounded, the green buds have not yet emerged, at this moment this grass is still a withered yellow landscape.

At the end of the meadow is the northeastern shore of Linzhong Lake.

Hundreds of meters north along the shore of the lake, there is a small square in front of the Shushan Museum, on one side of the square is the rockery where the little white cat died, and on the other side is the small forest where Zheng Qing's subordinate cats often gather. The fishman smuggling case that was broken by the patrol a few days ago happened in that grove.

A few hundred meters south along the shore of the lake, there is a 'mud pond' directly east of Linzhong Lake, in which a large number of turtles live. In winter, these turtles hide in the depths of the mud pond, and they don't necessarily move in October. Recently, there has been a burst of spring thunder, and Xiao Xiao heard that there are longevity turtles in the mud pond that have begun to emerge, so today's investigation will focus on this longevity turtle.

Because in the past, the first thing to emerge in the mud pond was the little longevity turtle within three years old, the turtle shell is soft, the physique is exquisite, and it is most loved by those long insects who have been hungry for a winter. Liu Feifei was worried that her pet would be led into evil by those bewitching sluts outside, while Jiang Yu had just realized that the unknown Faceling might be hiding in this mud pond.

On a big night, it's not easy to find the unwarranted Facelings and Snakes in a muddy pool.

Dressed in a heavy one-piece dragon skin suit, wearing thick dragon skin gloves and groping around in the mud, and each of them had an invisible peach talisman hanging from their bodies—this was a gift from Jiang Yu's friendship—Zheng Qing was very skeptical that if the faceless monster was really in this mud pond, they would not be treated as gnawed bones if they didn't have time to take out the magic book.

It's just that Xiao Xiao repeatedly explained that the faceless monster's ability is limited, and its combat effectiveness is almost zero except for camouflage, plus Jiang Yu and the other three witches are guarding the shore with magic books and talismans, which gives Zheng Qing a little sense of security.

The slippery mud flowed through Zheng Qing's fingers, and when pinched, it gave people an unusually satisfying feeling.

Zheng Qingqiang resisted the urge to play with the mud, his fingers slowly groped in the mud, carefully discerning the difference between each pebble and the dormant turtle, and carefully stuffed the caught loaches and earth dragon larvae back into the depths of the mud.

The whole process is extremely boring.

The only thing that cheered him up a little was the occasional silver horn or golden bean that came out of the mud. From the beginning to the present, the target has not been found, and these windfalls have been hugged several times.

This money was dropped by the wizards who came to pray for the longevity turtle before the exam, because the final exam of the last semester was in the winter, and it is not long before the time has passed, and most of the longevity turtles have not yet been active, so there is still a little 'leftovers' in the mud pond to surprise Zheng Qing.

The reason why there are no other wizards to 'steal' these blessing money is because the school does not allow it, everyone is in full view during the day, and there are patrols at night, so it is difficult to complete this task without powerful equipment such as invisibility charms, and on the other hand, it is also because there is very little money left in the mud pond, if real money buys invisibility charms and then touches the money, it is likely to lose the old capital.

Zheng Qing and others also met by fate and had a little luck here.

"There seems to be someone on the other side!"

Li Meng's whispered warning sound came from the shore.

The mud pond, which was originally noisy, suddenly fell into silence, and Zheng Qing stood stiffly in the mud, not daring to move. Although they have invisibility charms on their bodies, they are thieves after all, and if they appear in such a place during the curfew, they will be criticized by the school if they are not careful, and they may be punished on their backs.

Therefore, everyone is careful not to go wrong.

The young public-funded student's gaze followed the direction that Li Meng had just pointed out, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The place Li Meng said was far away from this mud pond, on the other side of Linzhong Lake, Zheng Qing estimated that it should be near the rockery. And the figure that appeared, not surprisingly, should be the night patrol team of Linzhong Lake of the school working committee.

The kind of long staff they were holding in their hands was very familiar to Zheng Qing. Last semester, he dragged the wooden sticks around the lake.

"It doesn't matter, it's the patrol. Zheng Qing coughed lightly, lowered his voice and reminded, "Okay, everyone concentrate and hurry up and finish searching this area...... Finish work early and rest early. ”

No one answered, but the sound of a rustling voice next to him resounded.

Zheng Qing licked his lips, bent down, and continued to feel around in the mud pond. Only this time, his attention was slightly diverted from the mud pool under his feet, and was divided into the night watchmen on the other side.

If memory serves, each member of the patrol team will have a relatively fixed patrol route - and these routes definitely do not include a large group of people gathering in front of a rockery.

In the distance, with the breeze blowing across the lake, there was a slight commotion from the patrolmen.

It's just that because the distance is too far, Zheng Qing can't tell what they are talking about, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the emotions of those patrol members seem to be more excited, and the staff in the hands of some team members even began to emit strings of sparks.

This is not like the scene that would occur during a regular patrol, Zheng Qing thought with a little worry, and at the same time wondered in his heart where the old school worker who led the team had gone, how could he not see anyone stop those patrol members from being irritable.

"Whoa!"

The loud sound of water splashing sounded in Linzhong Lake, accompanied by clear ripples that spread out in circles.

Zheng Qing straightened up slightly.

A few sturdy figures emerged from the shore of the lake, facing off the patrols across the bluestone steps on the shore. Not surprisingly, it is the fishman in Linzhong Lake.

"What are they doing?" Jiang Yu's worried voice came from the side.

Zheng Qing suddenly came back to his senses and coughed again: "It's just right, while their attention is no longer on our side, let's speed up our progress...... Don't be afraid to make a noise, they can't hear it now!"

Not far away, Nicholas's low voice of approval rang out.

Zheng Qing looked at the grass on the slope - the invisibility talisman provided by Jiang Yu could ensure that the wizards holding this peach talisman could see each other - he saw that the three witches, including Jiang Yu, had already turned their attention away from the mud pond and landed on the fishmen and patrolmen on the other side.

He pursed his lips and glanced up at the moon's position.

"Well, two quarters of an hour at the most, and it should be done. He reckoned, and a wave of energy surged back in his heart.
