Chapter 2755: More than Synchronization, Less than Distraction

The first class on Tuesday morning was divination.

According to Xiao Xiao's suggestion, Zheng Qing should consult Professor Yi before class about the abnormal situation of the black gem cat. But after entering the classroom, Zheng Qing saw Jiang Yu sitting in the first row of the classroom, and he changed his plan temporarily.

Because he remembered something more important.

Last night, he was supposed to go to the cat fruit tree to see the white jade cat, but was intercepted by the yellow cat and stood up the white jade cat. This matter needs to be explained to the witch.

And it must be given before she really gets angry.

Consulting Professor Yi can wait until after class, but the explanation to the witch needs to be made as soon as she sees her today, or as soon as she sees him.

This is an attitude problem.

So, Zheng Qing just entered the classroom and saw Jiang Yu for the first time, and immediately realized this problem. Despite the disgust of Li Meng and the teasing eyes of several other witches in the front row, he came to the witch's table without hesitation and smiled.

But before Zheng Qing could speak, Jiang Yu noticed the black gem cat squatting on the boy's shoulder and licking its paws, and frowned slightly.

"What's on its head?"

The witch stretched the feather pen in her hand to the black gem cat's forehead and rubbed it, but it didn't rub off the green spot, which surprised her greatly. As if sensing the fluctuation of the main body's mood, the white jade cat, which was curled up on the textbook and taking a nap, raised its head lazily and glanced in the direction of the black gem cat.

The black gem cat, which was carefully retreating because of the feather pen, noticed the white jade cat's gaze, and immediately straightened up and coughed dryly: "-Don't make a fuss, it's just a leaf!"

Jiang Yu's hand in the air stagnated slightly, and he looked at Zheng Qing in astonishment.

The boy smiled bitterly, nodded apologetically to his left and right, pinched the hand seal, and propped up a small soundproof barrier, and then took the black gem cat off his shoulder and placed it on the witch's desk.

"Last night, I met Mr...."

Zheng Qing carefully explained to Jiang Yu the origin of the leaf on the forehead of the black gem cat. He did not shy away from Mr.'s existence because she had visited him a long time ago. However, he also glossed over the real reason why Mr. came to see him, saying only that it was a temporary appointment: "-Maybe Mr. felt that Lao Huang and I were too noisy, so he used the leaf to freeze us, but when I woke up, I found that the leaf did not disappear..."

Listening to the boy's simple statement, the witch lowered her head slightly and looked carefully at the leaf on the forehead of the black gem cat.

"Is this a Kai tree leaf?" She asked back with some uncertainty.

"Yes, from Pistacia chinensis."

Zheng Qing nodded, and then thought of the most important thing, and hurriedly said: "...It was because of this yesterday that I didn't go to the cat fruit tree..."

"It doesn't matter, I guessed that you had something urgent when you didn't come... It's more important for the master to find you."

The witch waved her hand tolerantly, and then looked at the black gem cat who was being attentive in front of the white jade cat, with a strange expression: "-What's its situation now? When you are awake, it is also in a 'wakeful' state? Are you sure it is still your cat?"

As a student of the clone transformation class, she obviously knows more about the abnormality of the black gem cat at this moment than others.

"I don't know..." Zheng Qing sighed.

"Is there anything to question about this?" Hearing the witch's question, the black gem cat shook its ears, raised its head, and protested with great dissatisfaction.

The white jade cat opened its eyes slightly, and slapped it to the ground with a slap.

Zheng Qing's sigh stopped abruptly and turned into saliva and swallowed back into his stomach.

"Don't be rude!"

Jiang Yu stretched out his finger and held down the angry white jade cat, warning him. At the same time, he stretched out another finger and patted the slightly confused black gem cat who had just climbed up: "- Sorry, she didn't mean it."

The white jade cat glanced at it arrogantly.

"Well, no... it's okay." The black gem cat gritted his teeth and laughed dryly: "This is the way we cats greet each other, you humans don't understand."

Zheng Qing rolled his eyes silently.

At this time, he was already 70% sure that this stupid cat was really his clone.

Jiang Yu seemed to have the same judgment.

"It has self-identity judgment, subjective consciousness, and the ability to deal with embarrassment... It is a real clone,"

Her tone was full of amazement, and her eyes wandered between the black gem cat and Zheng Qing: "I think it is not even in the 'synchronization' stage, but should be a state that can only be achieved in the 'advanced distraction' stage-"

Depending on the proficiency and mastery, the learning of clone transformation is divided into three stages, namely 'primary alienation', 'intermediate synchronization' and 'advanced distraction'. In theory, the black gem cat and the white jade cat are in the first stage 'primary alienation', which can maintain a real clone outside the main body, but there are many restrictions, such as short maintenance time, close distance of the clone's activities, and the main body and the clone cannot be awake at the same time, etc.

...

"--Your clone has not yet reached the level of 'high-level spiritual separation', but it has indeed surpassed the ordinary 'synchronization' stage."

Professor Yi looked at the black gem cat in front of him with interest, and gave a different answer from Jiang Yu: "According to general principles, when the original body and the clone can remain awake and independent of each other at the same time, they can be considered 'synchronized'. Your cat has gone a step further and can even speak! This is an ability that many transformed animals do not have."

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Zheng Qing meaningfully.

The boy looked around uneasily.

It was after the divination class, and most of the students in the classroom had left. Only three or two were gossiping, but they didn't pay attention to the movement on the podium.

He breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

"What about this leaf? Does it have any effect on it?" He couldn't help rubbing the Kai tree leaf on the forehead of the black gem cat with his fingertips, trying to rub it off.

But the leaf seemed to grow on the black cat's forehead.

Professor Yi pinched his fingers carefully and finally shook his head: "It's hard to say, I suggest you ask Lao Yao to see-"

...

"-Legends are not omnipotent."

Professor Yao held the black gem cat curled up in his palm, his eyes burning, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, but the conclusion he gave disappointed the boy: "I can only confirm that this cat is still your cat, and your clone transformation has progressed far beyond my expectations. As for this leaf... Just like I still can't understand the magic principle of Zhu Si's resurrection, there are many magics in this world that are unreasonable and only talk about fate. You and this leaf are very destined."

"Then what's the use of it?" Zheng Qing couldn't help frowning.

"Naturally, when there is a destiny." The professor smiled slightly and gave him a fortune-teller-like answer.
