Picked up the devil, but very traditional

"I haven't read it, but the title seems interesting. Where did you buy it?"

"I borrowed this book from the library last week. If you like it, I'll lend it to you first."

"Well... How about this, I'll return it to you at noon, and if it's interesting, I'll go to the library and borrow another one myself."

"it is good!"

Liu Qizhi's smile was very bright. She could feel that the distance between her and Gu En was getting closer and closer.

The conversation between the two was also seen by other students, who whispered to each other and the gossip spread quickly.

Several of Liu Qizhi's loyal suitors tried to refute, but when her roommate said that she had a date with Gu En yesterday at noon, the classroom was filled with the sound of barking dogs.

Gu En returned to his seat and, using the desk as a barrier, put the book into the magic-sealing bottle.

"Teacher Melu, did you feel the magic power on it yesterday?"

Melu took a look, touched her chin and nodded, saying, "It is this one, but it is just a derivative. The real one should be nearby."

“Is its main body strong?”

"It should be a bit more powerful than the red-clothed one, with the power of about a dozen fireballs."

After hearing this, Gu En understood.

"Then let's find time to catch it?"

"Okay." Melu agreed.

Although her current magic reserves are not much, it is definitely more than enough to deal with humans and alien spirits.

Especially during this period of time, she observed all the humans that Gu En came into contact with, and found that they had no magic power at all, they were too weak, and completely different from what was recorded.

This is not good news for Melu. If the overall strength of humans is so weak, they would have been enslaved long ago. There must be something wrong with the abnormality here.

As a pioneer of the demon clan and the daughter of the ruling demon lord, Melu feels that she has an obligation to investigate the truth.

It all starts with... this school!

……

At noon, the sun was high in the sky.

The highest temperature today is 37°C, and the school cafeteria has turned on the air conditioner, otherwise few people would come to eat.

After class, Gu En did not go to the cafeteria immediately. Instead, he walked around every desk in the classroom to see if there was any residual magical reaction.

Everyone knows that the cafeteria, whether it is a university or a high school, will be packed with people if you arrive a few minutes late.

There is also free air conditioning here, and the cooling effect is better than that in the dormitory.

So it was natural that Gu En didn't have a seat. Just when he was about to find a place to eat and go to the library, he heard someone calling him.

"Gu En! This way!"

As expected, it was Liu Qizhi.

The girl in front of her was packing up her plates and leaving, while Liu Qizhi was helping to wipe the table with a tissue.

Gu En walked towards her without hesitation.

In the past few days, he also felt that his relationship with Liu Qizhi had become much more harmonious, and they could even eat at the same table.

After sitting down, there were two female classmates from the same class who were also Liu Qizhi's roommates next to the table.

As soon as Gu En sat down, the two of them stared at him intently, wanting to know what means he had used to make Liu Qizhi so infatuated with him.

"I put the book in your desk." Gu En said.

Liu Qizhi's eyes sparkled, and he asked expectantly, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Not bad. I'm going to borrow one later."

Gu En had never been to the library before. With this legitimate reason, he could make an excuse if something happened.

Hearing this, the two girls next to them looked at each other with suspicion.

"Did you really read it?"

The book "Cloud Chasers" is actually quite boring. It was very popular in the past, but it is really not suitable for today's society.

Gu En drank a mouthful of soup and said without hesitation:

"I've read this book. It tells the story of human betrayal and redemption from a child's perspective. Although the values ​​it conveys are simple, I like it very much. It warns people that bad people will eventually struggle in the swamp of pain."

"Good people will be rewarded."

Gu En was bored in class and couldn't sleep, so he just watched for a while.

The two female classmates suddenly felt embarrassed because they had never seen it and didn't know whether what Gu En said was right.

But looking at Liu Qizhi's fangirl expression, one could guess that Gu En was right.

To ease their embarrassment, one of them said, "Hey! If you go to the library, you might be able to get the book of answers."

"Book of Answers? Who wrote it? Is it good?" Gu En asked while eating.

"Puchi~ You are still the same Gu En as before." The girl smiled and said, "The Book of Answers is the most popular weird story in our school this year. Don't you know that?"

Gu En's chewing slowed down, and his sixth sense told him that this incident must be related to what happened last night.

"Tell me about it."

"it is good!"

The ghost story is not complicated, but there is no way to verify who spread it from, so it can only begin with "it is said".

It is said that a classmate borrowed a textbook from the library. One day when he was studying, he didn't have a notebook at hand, so he wrote a lot of messy things on it, thinking of buying an identical one online and returning it after a while.

As a result, the next day, when he opened the book again, he found that he had answers to all the questions he had written.

"What a difficult question. I really can't memorize it. I don't know if the old teacher will give it a try."

[Answer: Yes.]

"I'm really impressed. You're grinding your teeth so loudly, maybe your brain has been worn out?"

[Answer: No.]

"Hehe, I drew this heart really well, I wonder if Qi Qinqin will like it, hehe."

【Answer: I don’t like it.】

The classmate thought it was a prank, but when he woke up the next day, his roommate on the upper bunk had a constipated look on his face and said:

"I'm telling you, it's really weird. My mom kept asking me in my dreams if I had lost my brain by grinding my teeth. If I didn't tell her, she would hit me with a shoe horn. Hiss~ It still hurts a little now."

At this point, the strange rumor about the book of answers hidden in the library gradually fermented, and many students even said that they had dreamed of and obtained the book of answers, and added many details.

First, the book of answers can only answer questions, and the answers must be known by people in the school.

Second, ask no more than three questions at a time. If you ask more than three, something very scary will happen.

Third, if you dream that someone asks you a question, you must answer it truthfully, otherwise you may be trapped in the dream forever and unable to wake up.

Fourth, when returning a book, you must kowtow three times in the library, otherwise you will be beaten in your dreams at night.

Fifth, never try to find a book of answers. If you are destined to have one, just pick up a book that contains answers.

"That's the story that has become the second most popular on our school's ghost story list this year. How about it? Isn't it interesting?"

"interesting."

Chapter 27: One Thousand and One Whys

The air conditioner outside the cafeteria made a rumbling sound, and the cool breeze circulated indoors, and Liu Qizhi couldn't help but shiver.

Speaking of which, last night, she dreamed that Gu En was asking her questions. Was that the Book of Answers?

But the questions were all so strange, not like the kind of questions Gu En would ask, and there were more than three, so that shouldn't be the case.

Liu Qizhi didn't think about it too much, because Gu En had already started to clear the plates, so she stood up to help.

Gu En did not refuse because he was wondering why Liu Qizhi asked him questions.

On the last page of the book "Cloud Chasers", there were several questions clearly written, all of which were the contents of his dream last night.

Unlike the popular ghost stories, there was no answer next to it. I guess it was because I had destroyed the 'Liu Qizhi' in my dream, so there was no answer.

Forget it, I still have to find a time to talk to her clearly. We are from different places, so it's impossible.

After leaving the cafeteria, Gu En prepared to go to the library. Liu Qizhi trotted beside him and said happily:

"Gu En, I'll go with you. I also want to borrow some books."

"Uh…Okay, let's go."

It was her freedom to go to the library, and Gu En had no reason to refuse.

The two walked side by side on the marble path, the sunlight shining through the leaves and forming spots of light on the grass.

But no one noticed that these spots of light flickered, as if something invisible was passing by.

On the way, Liu Qizhi started to find a topic: "Strange, wasn't it said to be 36 or 37 degrees today? Why isn't it hot outside?"

Gu En said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because the school is too windy."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew over. Liu Qizhi hurriedly covered her skirt, her cheeks slightly red. She found that Gu En did not take the opportunity to peek at her, but felt a little disappointed.

Gu En was almost scared to death at this time, so he had no time to look at this thing.

"Mr. Meilu, can we be more calm?"

Meilu smiled playfully and said, "I am just cooperating with you. I am telling you, white."

"Ah~"

The library of Lianhua University is not small, and it is impossible for Gu En to search every inch of it, so he can only ask Meilu to open the cognitive barrier and get out.

But as soon as she came out, she said it was hot, and she created a temporary constant temperature magic to lower the temperature near her.

Now that's bad. I originally only lost one magic, but now I'm going to lose two.

Oh, it's two and a half, she doesn't like walking.

Gu En could only place his hopes on the book of answers, hoping that it had more magic power so that he wouldn't lose too much.
