Chapter 2919: Running Away with a Bucket
"——Fat man, what happened? Why did people gather in the First Hall in the middle of the night? Could it be that some big demon sneaked into the First University?"
At the assembly point of Astronomy Class 08-1, Duan Xiaojian wiped the tears from his eyes, yawned widely, and while complaining about the unexpected announcement from the school, he moved closer to Fatty Xin.
As the senior editor of the school newspaper, Xin's well-informed nature is well-known in the class.
But tonight he was destined to be disappointed.
Fatty Xin didn't seem to know any more than the others, and looked around with the same blank expression.
"Big demon? Which big demon will sneak into the school before the final exam?" He muttered, quickly released a few paper cranes, and caught a few more: "——Didn't you ask Matthew? He is in Alpha Lu Ziye over there, maybe he knows something."
When the thin wizard heard this, he nodded repeatedly and looked around to find Matthew.
Zhang Jixin, who was standing aside, snorted disdainfully: "It's weird that Matthew can find out! My brother doesn't even know why there is this emergency gathering tonight... but he guesses that something serious must have happened."
This is a very correct nonsense.
The fat wizard tried very hard to resist the desire to complain.
He didn't complain.
Instead, the red-faced wizard began to complain. He changed the topic and commented on the fat wizard's speculation: "——Speaking of which, if there is really a big monster that disrupts the school's final exam, I will give it a longevity tablet. , the kind that puts up incense sticks every month!”
This weekend, the first final exam is about to begin, and students at Jiuyou College are very anxious.
"Serving a demon? You can't imagine that!"
A cold and faint voice sounded very abruptly from behind a few people, startling them: "——If you fail the final exam, you will at most be placed in solitary confinement and given regular penalties; if you dare to worship the devil in private, you will be punished by your family. I found out that it’s not just about breaking a few legs.”
Zhang Jixin's face suddenly lost its usual deep red color and turned a little gray. He suddenly turned around and breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he saw that it was Jiang Yu who was speaking.
"Brother Zha is not here." He smiled dryly and answered Jiang Yu's question in advance. After a pause, he added: "We don't know where his black gem cat went to roam..."
"You're just plotting me behind my back like this?" A small black cat as big as a fist got out of the witch's hood, climbed on her shoulder, and looked at Zhang Jixin fiercely: "——What's wrong with it...I do this every day when I go out I have a mission! Recently, I have spent twice as much time in class as him, no, ten times!"
Jiang Yu stretched out a finger and flicked it back into the hood, stopping it from continuing to make noise.
Then he looked at Xiao Xiao.
Dr. Xiao Da adjusted his glasses and answered honestly: "Before going to bed at night, the people from the teaching assistant team took Brother Qing away, saying it was the special project of Fringe College... and then he never came back. I just found him Professor An from the office confirmed that it is indeed a school project, but because the confidentiality level is very high, we can’t find out more information.”
"What's the reason for gathering tonight?" Jiang Yu frowned and asked another question.
Xiao Xiao shook his head: "I don't know. I tried divination and there were only two results. Either it was chaos and nothing could be seen clearly; or it was very clear and the false 'peace and peace' could be seen at a glance... "
"Is it possible that the school is holding a temporary 'Dragon Boat Festival' or something like that?" Fatty Xin suddenly interjected, his imagination widened: "——If I remember correctly, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, right!"
"To be precise, yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival."
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly and pointed at the fat wizard's watch: "It's already past midnight, so there's no reason to hold a wedding ceremony for yesterday's festival, and I've never heard of a wedding ceremony being held in the middle of the night..."
"Quiet!"
From the terrace high in the hall, a young and sonorous voice came: "Everyone, please keep quiet! Counselors and monitors of each class, please count the number of people in your class, and report any absentees immediately! Students who are already in the first hall, please Keep order and do not chase, fight or make noise... We will explain the situation further later.”
Maybe it's because the voice is too young.
Lack of sufficient deterrence.
As soon as he finished speaking, a questioning voice immediately sounded from somewhere on the third floor of the hall: "So what exactly is going on? Where are the professors? Why aren't the professors here?"
Many young wizards then noticed that most of the people maintaining order at the scene were assistants and lecturers, as well as some people wearing gray robes. None of the school's senior professors could be seen.
This discovery immediately caused more people to start talking.
Right now.
A series of dull sounds suddenly came from outside the first hall.
Boom!
It was like countless boulders rolling down the hillside, and like the sound of mountains cracking. Immediately afterwards, the entire hall shook violently. The thick pillars at the edge of the hall creaked under pressure, and they were hung in the corridor on the second floor. Many of the portraits disappeared into the picture frames and disappeared.
Exclamations and screams came one after another.
"What happened?"
"Is it an earthquake? I mean, is the earth dragon turning over?"
"What kind of earth dragon can shake the first hall when it rolls over? Is it a legendary level earth dragon? Is there such a monster in the wizarding world?"
"It's not necessarily that the earth dragon turned over, it could also be that the ancient dragon sleeping under the volcano woke up! My grandma said that there is an ancient dragon that has lived for tens of thousands of years living in the volcano deep in the Silent Forest!"
"Why are you all guessing underground? Could it be a meteorite falling?"
"Who dares to throw a rock on the head of the First University?"
The whole hall was full of chaotic voices. The young wizards talked at once, exchanging their guesses. There was no fear or panic on their faces. Instead, they were more excited than each other. They were just about to open two bottles of Green Bee, take a stack of fried peanuts, and sit on a small bench to watch the show.
Xiao Xiao did not participate in these discussions. Instead, he leaned against the outer railing and carefully observed the slightly thin figures behind the high terrace. He could see that several young wizards in different robes were arguing quietly and fiercely about something.
Soon, the result of the argument came out.
"Quiet!"
"Everyone, be quiet!"
This time, a witch spoke up. She didn't hide anything and said to everyone clearly and straightforwardly: "I just received a notice from the school work committee. In order to avoid risks, the First University will be temporarily moved. There may be some noise or vibration. This is normal. Please stay calm!"
Fatty Xin stared at Xiao Xiao with his small eyes, confused.
"--Temporary move? What does it mean?"
"It means literally." The fortune teller who forgave the crime replied calmly: "To put it simply, the 'First University' felt that there was danger, so it ran away..."
