In normal times, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, there is still a lot of life on campus during the day - students studying hard in the study room, students doing experiments in front of the stage, students walking and chatting under the street lights, Students having a tryst in the woods, and so on.

But today is not one of those days.

Because the Lantern Festival had just passed, the school's curfew had not been completely stopped. At this moment, the school seemed a little deserted. Except for some students who were ordered to patrol around, few people could be seen wandering around.

Except for some 'idle little animals' that are neither wizards nor pets - although they also live in this school, they are not students after all and are not subject to the ban, as long as they don't care about the dangerous smell in the air outside. , whether it is the patrol team or the people from the school working committee, they will turn a blind eye to these figures wandering around.

This is why Zheng Qing can leisurely walk through the empty small square, cross the quiet Linzhong Lake, and come to the office building for a walk at night like this.

After leaving the dormitory, according to the established plan, Zheng Qing went straight to the office building, trying to find professors to help him see what happened to him - Lao Yao was the most suitable person to ask for this kind of thing. If Lao Yao didn't find it, , Professor Yi from the divination class is also a good candidate. No matter what happened, it would be impossible for Zheng Qing to hold his nose and enter Professor Li's office.

It's just that the plan is always very good, but in reality there are always various surprises.

For example, Lao Yao is not in his office, Professor Yi is not in his office, and Professor Li is not in his office either. The huge office building looks pitch black from the outside, without any light.

Zheng Qing still squeezed into the building through the crack in the door and tried to struggle. But whether it was the lobby on the first floor or the corridors to the left and right, it was a dark world, without a trace of light or a human figure.

There were a few milky-white ghosts, miserable and crying, wandering in the corridors. Occasionally they would pass by a black cat, and they would always walk around it carefully, that's all - I didn't want to ask them any questions. Maybe, these empty-minded guys are indifferent to anything happening around them except telling the story of their own death over and over again.

Zheng Qing also tried to find the door god to find out where the professors were.

"Password!" After hearing Black Cat's question, the Shen Tu hanging on the door of Lao Yao's office shouted in surprise.

"Huh?" The black cat squatted in front of the door, its ears stretched like airplanes, blinked, and looked confused: "What's the password?!"

"Let's answer the question." Yu Lei leaned against the white tiger, lowered his head, looked at the black cat with sleepy eyes, and yawned greatly: "...you never think that someone just comes here. Ask questions and we should answer them honestly, not to mention you are just a cat.”

"What's wrong with the cat? You discriminate against cats." Zheng Qing wrinkled his nose, raised his paw and scratched his chin, feeling a little worried in his heart.

Naturally, he didn't know the password. After all, he was just a white man and had not held any position in the student union or other institutions of the school. Therefore, he had no chance to know the password of the professor's office doorkeeper.

"Password!" Shen Tu, who was standing on the peach charm, paused heavily on the halberd in his hand and asked again.

Before Zheng Qing could speak, Bai Hu, who was lying behind Yu Lei, suddenly stood up, opened his eyes wide, and roared: "What a rat! How dare you do something wrong in front of this god!" [! ! # ...Free reading]

"You can talk too!" Hearing the white tiger's roar, Zheng Qing suddenly became interested. He wagged his tail involuntarily and looked at the white tiger curiously, feeling that he was not alone in his ways.

The white tigers, including the two door gods Shen Tu and Yu Lei, knew nothing about the feelings of the black cats under their doors. At this moment, their attention was not on this noisy little black cat.

Along with a low hum of prayer, a thin layer of golden light appeared on the surface of the wooden door, and then quickly expanded. It seemed as if it enveloped the entire building in an instant, connecting the peach charms of all the door gods.

"Squeak!" A piercing scream sounded at the corner of the corridor, startling the black cat who was looking left and right. He immediately turned his head, leaned against the wooden door, and looked at the corner warily.

Not long after, a low voice chanted a curse from the wooden door behind him: "Shi Chunxi is here!"

A bit of white light suddenly appeared in the dark corridor, suddenly expanded, and shined brightly, illuminating the originally dark world extremely brightly. Several ghosts who were about to pass through the wall screamed and retracted behind the wall under this white light, while loudly cursing the door god who cast the spell.

"You know how to do magic?!" Zheng Qing felt the light blooming around him and couldn't help but squinted his eyes and looked at the door god hanging in the talisman with admiration. He felt that his understanding of being overturned today was almost as good as the day he first met Thomas.

The door gods still ignored him.

Zheng Qing will naturally not ignore the importance and continue to cause trouble at this time.

Under the white light, around the corner, a big rat with a pointed head, round ears, and a long tail appeared in front of everyone.

Zheng Qing's eyes, which were originally squinted due to the bright light, involuntarily opened wider.

As an adult with eighteen years of life experience, Zheng Qing is no stranger to rats. This little thing that hides in the sewers and steals food has never been liked by people. Even within the wizarding world, rats' reputation doesn't seem to have improved much. This can be clearly seen from the students' pets - many wizards keep cats as companions, but very few wizards keep mice as pets.

However, unlike the mouse in Zheng Qing's impression, the mouse that appeared in the office building was wearing clothes.

Yes, the mouse is wearing a red vest.

The vest is not big, and the hem reaches just above the mouse's tail. There are no buttons on the front, but a delicate zipper. There are no pockets on the vest, but the small backpack on the back of the vest makes up for this shortcoming.

The black mouse in the red vest seemed to be blinded by the bright light. He bent down and groped on the ground for a long time before standing up shivering while holding on to the wall.

"Squeak...squeak!" It screamed, looking at its expression, it seemed like it was cursing something.

The door gods, who were originally confident, seemed to remember something after seeing the mouse's clothes and hearing its scream. They all restrained their breath, retracted into the peach charms on the door, and began to fall asleep.

"Excuse me, can anyone tell me what that mouse is for?" Zheng Qing raised his paw and knocked on the wooden door next to him.

Bai Hu closed his eyes and drooped his ears, like a stone sculpture; Shen Tu sat aside, looking as if he was in a daze; and Yu Lei, although he continued on duty with his arms folded and his face drooped, he turned a blind eye to the black cat's question.

The mouse squeaked for a long time. Perhaps it was tired and had vented its anger. It flicked its tail, turned a corner, and left the corridor.

The black cat hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gave up on communicating with the dead objects hanging on the door. He jumped up briskly and followed the mouse's trail.

This mouse looks funny.

And cats like interesting things the most.

Besides, catching mice should be a cat’s bounden duty.

The black cat was thinking happily, completely forgetting the doctor's instruction to him not long ago, "Don't cause trouble." He just pursued his interests and satisfied his curiosity.
