Looking at the second floor of the cafeteria built in the basement in front of her, she fell into deep thought.

What are these for?

The second floor of the cafeteria was bustling with activity, and no one noticed Lan Ling, who was musing about Victoria's Secret not far away. She quickly recovered and followed the signs to the bathhouse.

The Victoria Bathhouse is very distinctive. One of the features is that the pools are filled with hot spring water, and the receptionists at the front desk are part-time students.

What are the characteristics of student part-time jobs?

A woman with long green hair and a strangely beautiful face, her lower body raised tentacles, gently moved to the front of the counter. She raised her eyes and looked at Lan Ling, and with the cautiousness of a rabbit, she asked softly:

"Are you Zhou Li's friend?"

Lan Ling stood there silently without moving.

Dependent family.

Why do we have clans?

Is Victoria some kind of exotic creature asylum?

Why would the clan, which has disappeared for hundreds of years and is listed as the most dangerous spiritual creatures by various countries, appear in a formal academy?

Isn’t Victoria afraid of being invaded by the alien gods from the spiritual world?

"I am."

After a long hesitation, Lan Ling nodded, suppressed her fear and said, "I'm Zhou Li's friend."

"Hello, my name is Su Nu. Zhou Li asked me to give this to you."

The ten tentacles beneath her body slowly shifted, as if whispering something. The girl named Su Nu slowly reached out and placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

This scene made Lan Ling's brain startle and her eyes suddenly became serious.

Along with the sound of spitting, a piece of clothing wrapped in a plastic bag appeared in the girl's hand. She looked at Lan Ling's chest, and her mermaid-like eyes without pupils were filled with timidity and curiosity:

"What are your measurements?"

After a brief silence, Lan Ling said, "D."

“I…I’m E…”

Glancing at Lan Ling timidly, the girl seemed to have done something wrong and whispered, "This is my three-year-old clothes. You should be able to wear it."

Lan Ling was stunned. "How old are you?"

"Eight years old."

He's eight years old?

Shocked, Lan Ling walked into the bathhouse in a daze. After taking off her already somewhat torn clothes, the fair-skinned Lan Ling turned on the mechanical handle and began to wash her body.

"Beep beep, we love Cthulhu. Beep beep, Cthulhu works for the welfare of the people. Beep beep, we want to follow Cthulhu. Beep beep, Cthulhu never collects taxes~"

Humming an unknown strange tune, Su Nu flipped through the "Advanced Textbook of Magic" in her hand, while her tentacles were wrapped around two long needles and two balls of yarn were placed at her feet.

Lan Ling, wiping her long pink hair and wearing a white shirt and slim jeans, walked out and her eyes fell on the cover of the book in Su Nu's hand.

Lan Ling was no longer afraid of this family member. Moreover, Su Nu seemed to be Zhou Li's friend, so she walked up to him and started talking:

"This is the third-level textbook. Are you a third-level student in this school?"

Upon hearing Lan Ling's words, Su Nu trembled like a little rabbit, and the ball of yarn on her tentacles almost fell off. She quickly put away the books in her hands, sat down obediently on the chair, and then whispered, "I'm not a student, I'm just a school worker."

School worker.

Does your school have any work that involves communicating with the ancient gods of the spiritual world?

"Are you and Zhou Li friends?"

Lan Ling's change of topic was very abrupt, but Su Nu didn't care. Instead, she was somewhat glad that Lan Ling didn't continue to ask questions. She secretly glanced at Lan Ling and said timidly:

"No, he's not my friend."

Huh? Isn't it?

"He is my master."

Su Nu's face flushed suspiciously, "I'm just his family member. I don't deserve the word friend."

···········

A string in Lan Ling's head broke.

She had forgotten what she and Su Nu had said. She only remembered that Su Nu had been praising Zhou Li, calling him "the one the ancient gods couldn't avoid," "an absolute existence," "the soul of Victoria," and "praise for Brother Zhou." Lan Ling only nodded and smiled; she couldn't remember anything else.

"You two get along pretty well."

Zhou Li tossed Lan Ling an unopened bottle of camel milk. Then, looking at Su Nu, who was sitting next to him like a soldier, he said with a smile, "Have you been studying lately? Can you still hear his mumbling?"

"Master... Zhou Li, I've been studying hard lately. I've already finished the third chapter of the Demonic Network. Now I can hardly hear His mumbling."

Su Nu sat upright and answered meticulously.

"No need to be so restrained."

Zhou Li sighed, as if he'd gotten used to it. He finished the drink in the can, put it aside, and said, "Don't stress yourself out. You've already broken free from Him. Once a clan loses faith in their master, they can completely break away from Him, and you're no exception."

"Ah."

Nodding, Su Nu acted like a normal person and whispered, "I'll try my best."

"You."

After rubbing Su Nu's head, Zhou Li was about to get his own can, and then he was surprised to find that his can was gone.

"Where's my drink?"

"It must have been... picked up by someone."

Su Nu whispered, "This kind of thing is very common."

"Cans aren't worth much."

Zhou Li didn't think much about it. He then looked at Lan Ling and said, "Let's go. We've found a breakthrough. We have to go out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Ah...ah."

Lan Ling came back to her senses and glanced at Su Nu.

There were also tentacles behind the counter, trembling and playing with cans.

This place... isn't right.

There really is something wrong.

Chapter 39 Campus

Just like encountering a safe house while exploring a strange and deep abyss, when Lan Ling walked into the safe dormitory with no strange creatures and a well-structured building, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong? You're so anxious."

Zhou Li took out a cup, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Lan Ling. He asked curiously, "Is it because of the ice thing?"

"Why do I feel like you always put an exclamation mark every time you say 'wocaobing'?"

Lan Ling asked suspiciously.

“It’s actually two exclamation marks.”

Zhou Lile said: "Fuck! Ice!"

Lan Ling was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly burst out laughing, "Very good, you are very humorous."

Zhou Li looked at Lan Ling, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this thing was very similar to his own father, especially that inexplicable dry humor, which was something that ordinary people could not learn.

"How are you feeling?"

Zhou Li said to Lan Ling, "Let's go to Datang tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I plan to ask Sha Yun about something."

"Hmm... can Sha Yun be trusted?"

Lan Ling asked.

“Not necessarily, but it’s highly likely.”

Zhou Li sat on the bed, arms folded, and said, "In the beginning, before I even showed my skills, Sha Yun was ready to establish a business relationship with me according to normal social etiquette. In her eyes, I was just an ordinary second-year student, but she still chose the transaction method based on universal values."

"Plus, the bronze door also reminds us that Sha Yun is indeed not involved in the drug trafficking. Given Sha Yun's status among the Sand Scorpions, there is only one possibility that Sha Yun is unaware of it."

Immediately, Lan Ling and Zhou Li said in unison:

"The Sand Scorpions want to seize power."

"Or, in other words, they need a leader who can support their drug trafficking."

Zhou Li said seriously, "It's obvious that Sha Yun is quite obedient to the laws of the kingdom. She must know that drug trafficking can kill entire families, so she probably won't get involved. If she knew that one of her men was involved in drug trafficking, she would probably try to resolve the matter internally with us first."

"Otherwise, it will be too late to resolve it externally."

Lan Ling said.

"Ah."

Zhou Li nodded and said with emotion: "By then, I guess there will be a row of Sand Scorpions hanging on the telephone poles in the Sinai Desert."

"It's better to do it today than today. Let's do it tomorrow."

Suddenly, Lan Ling seemed to remember something and asked quickly, "Zhou Li, does your school have guitars?"

Only then did Zhou Li realize that Lan Ling's guitar was gone.

For a rock musician, the guitar is her second life. Losing her guitar meant that most of Lan Ling's abilities were unavailable, only reaching 10% or 20%. Therefore, after losing her guitar, Lan Ling's fighting ability plummeted.

"Guitar···"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "There should be. We have a vocal band here. I can help you contact them."

"It's troublesome."

Lan Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Without the guitar, it would be difficult for her to perform as a guitarist.
