For wizards, painted skin has two meanings.

One is a rare magic item, and the other is a mysterious magical creature.

The former is made of human skin, animal skin, etc., the leather is intact, and the hair is no different from the living.

The latter is a kind of caracal, with a green face, sharp teeth like saws, a cry like a pig's cry, likes to eat children's hearts, can peel off the skin of their victims and turn into each other, because they are too fierce, they have been hunted by wizards and almost extinct, even the students of the First University can only see their remains in the herbarium specimens.

Right now, the pet snake hiding in the grass sheds its skin, and at a glance it is clear that it has nothing to do with the caracal, so the person who 'paints the skin' mentioned by Dr. Xiao Da can only be the first case.

After hearing Xiao Xiao's judgment, Nicholas's face changed suddenly.

"Painted skin?!Impossible. He muttered, "Is there any misunderstanding here......?"

His apprehension was justified.

If this snake is a painted skin, as Xiao Xiao said, then who used this painted skin? Why did he pretend to be a pet snake to come to the first university? The most important thing is that the owner of this pet snake, that is, Liu Feifei, is aware of this incident? If not, is he mainly responsible for this accident?

Just a simple thought, many terrible thoughts appeared in his head, which made Nicholas panic, and the only hope fell on Xiao Xiao's eyes just now, the snake molt was just a simple snake molt. Or maybe Xiao Xiao was joking with him.

But Nicholas also knew that Xiao Xiao was not a joker, and the stakes were high, and he couldn't just say an impossible answer.

Compared with the old students who suffered from gains and losses, Xiao Xiao obviously thought more about it—for example, why the Crime Hunting Team and others had not found any trace of the faceless monster for a long time, and why Liu Feifei's big snake had never been found.

One plausible explanation is that the Faceling had been wearing the skin of a pet snake, hiding from sight in the form of black under the lamp.

It's just that the origin of the Faceling, when it put on the snakeskin of a pet snake, the purpose of its visit to the school, etc., these deeper information cannot be deduced only by the slightest clue at the moment.

Xiao Xiao can think of this, and Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu naturally want to think of it too.

This is not a good outcome.

There was a deep silence in the room. Xiao Xiao's discovery added a thick haze to everyone's hearts. Perhaps only the slightly naïve Li Meng has not figured out the entanglement behind the painting skin, and his performance is a little more lively.

"Painted skin?!" Li Meng's arm holding the stuffed bear suddenly tightened - just after coming to this meadow, the little white cat had already struggled out of the little witch's arms, and Li Meng had to pick up the stuffed bear again.

Fortunately, the stuffed bear could see it, and did not mind the little witch abandoning her, and happily returned to her arms. Of course, before being held, it was subjected to a cleansing charm that washed away the mud and dust that had just been stained on its body.

"Where did the painted skin come from? Whose painted skin is it? Isn't this the skin of Sister Fei Fei's pet snake?" The little witch was dizzy by this sudden fact, but it did not affect her little shrewdness: "This painted skin has not been reported in the school, right?

The black cat and the white cat looked at each other, and Xiao Xiao and Nicholas also glanced at each other.

That's the big question right now – whether to report the findings to the school.

Theoretically, reporting to the school is the best solution.

First of all, the reason for the report is very strong: the unidentified Faceless Youkai must have infiltrated First University with some ulterior motive, and this Youkai is hiding on campus, which is a huge threat to all the students of First University, including everyone present, and no one knows if this Youkai has any other painted skin, whether it will lurk around him and bite him.

Secondly, the rewards for similar discoveries are very generous: there are certain credits, and sometimes many material rewards may be added, which is not a small temptation for young wizards who are nervous at hand.

Finally, both the rules and regulations of the school and the laws of the wizarding world require wizards to have an obligation to assist in the investigation of such incidents. For a world full of magic, it's not something that can be fooled by pretending to turn a blind eye.

It can be said that from the perspective of any righteousness and justice, everyone should turn this snake over.

But on the other hand, there seems to be a reason for not reporting.

In addition, after the report?—— the school working committee got the snake moult, the school was furious, searched everywhere, and may ban the students' hunting, dance and other activities in the name of safety; if the school catches the monster in a short time, everything will be fine, but if it can't be caught, it will be another trouble.

Zheng Qing still clearly remembers the trouble caused by the small sand insects last semester.

It's just that because of a few magical creatures that have been drained of time, the whole school has been made to jump, and the school's bigwigs have been criticized by the reporter of the Beta Town Post as incomplete.

And that's just a few small bugs that don't do much harm.

Hiding in the school right now is a faceless youkai of unknown strength, not one of those sand worms who only steals a little bit of wizard time, but a real youkai that can eat people and kill!

What's more, this snake belongs to Liu Feifei's pet.

Not to mention that Liu Feifei Jiu has the identity of a public student in the academy, and her pet may cause an uproar after it is found to be a monster. This ownership alone will cause her huge trouble, and maybe she will have to be inspected by Dan Hag.

Not only her, but a series of departments with supervision responsibilities, including the school pet house and the school working committee, are also jointly and severally responsible in this matter.

Zheng Qing could simply foresee the disgraced appearance of Jiuyou Academy in the next period of time. It's really frustrating to have such a thing when there is a dispute with the Alpha Academy and the Fish-Man Tribe.

"The snake is Fei Fei's, and the final choice is on her, let's bring the snake back and let her choose for herself. Xiao Xiao finally gave a slightly slick, but not very responsible suggestion.

Nicholas was a little lost and didn't say a word, letting Xiao Xiao put the snake away, put it in a deerskin bag, and stuffed it into his arms.
