The academy also issued a notice that the transmission route of the sleeping curse has been cut off, some of the academy's medical rooms have been isolated, and academy teaching is proceeding as normal.
Similar treatment has also been carried out in other colleges, and the source of the curse is currently being investigated.
Naturally, many people were dissatisfied with the outcome of this handling, but even if they were dissatisfied, the academy would not take any unnecessary action.
But this did not prevent many students from speculating. After all, this incident had a wide impact, and gradually word spread that the source of this sleeping curse was the dream device of the Witch Academy.
After all, the curse couldn't just be spread through the academy, so why didn't it spread to the outside world?
In addition, a senior student also provided evidence to point out that the academies that were infected with the sleeping curse this time were basically the academies participating in this dream exchange competition, and all the contestants from the Witch Academy who participated in the exchange competition were infected with the sleeping curse one after another.
However, the college did not give any explanation for this and quietly closed down the use of many dream equipment locations in the college.
This caused the Witch Academy's reputation in the outside world to drop even further.
This is naturally a means for the academy to divert attention.
Admittedly, the academy's top brass wouldn't care about these students who aren't even extraordinary, but after all, the name Witch Academy still has the word "Academy" behind it, so the current symbolic treatment is done.
As for the various alchemical items against the sleeping curse, they are naturally just for show. The extraordinary witches who understand this matter know that this is not a curse, and the sleeping state of other academies is not a contagious curse.
This is another battle without the smoke of gunpowder, a battle for destiny.
It is equivalent to the continuation of the dream exchange competition. After all, the luck of this competition also extends from the exchange competition not long ago, and it also took place in the dream.
The only difference is that in the previous exchange competitions with the abyss demon race, they could only compete with the cannon fodder such as the inferior undead, but this time they have to face the abyss demon's special force, the nightmare.
This is a real fight to the death.
How can a battle of destiny be without bloodshed?
There is no point in playing small tricks. The Witch Academy is not a cradle. No one will play house games with you. The luck fought for in this battle of luck is naturally not just a redistribution of the luck of the first place in the previous exchange competition. When the script node is facilitated, the only surviving human city located at the outermost edge of the main world will also gather luck, and this may push this battle of luck to a higher level.
"This is pitiful. He is a freshman who just entered the Extraordinary Academy, but he was involved in such a thing."
"Who said it wasn't true? And he only targeted good students. Do you think there is some inside story?"
"Maybe... but they're not all good students, right?"
Two senior schoolmates who worked part-time as nurses in the infirmary were complaining and gossiping at the same time.
"Hey? Wait...is this Xiaohan?"
"It seems to be true! How could Xiaohan, who is so low-key, be infected with the sleeping curse? Hasn't she been around since the exchange competition?"
"I was saying that the senior student on the academy's website made a very correct analysis. It must be the problem with the dream device! There hasn't been such a mess in previous years, right?"
"That's true. You don't know that the academy doesn't seem to lend out dream equipment anymore. There must be something wrong with it. I took it back for repair."
"Alas... poor Xiaohan... how come her popularity was so short-lived?"
In the underground city.
After living here for a few days, I have adapted to the environment here. The promotion of the extraordinary knowledge related to rune rituals here is smoother than I expected. It seems that the more people know, the more they can accept new things. Here I have found many "scholars" who are willing to communicate with me about runes and inscriptions.
The people here can be roughly divided into two types: one is the theoretical scholars who explore and develop extraordinary inscriptions, and the other is the researchers who use the power provided by those scholars to guide the development of extraordinary skills.
And I chose to become a theoretical scholar here without hesitation.
It is precisely because of this that I was able to integrate into the circle of scholars here so smoothly. The rune system that I brought as an outsider opened the door to a new world for them. Sometimes theoretical breakthroughs require such external forces to open it violently.
And up to now I have only provided the ritual of the Fireball spell.
The heritage they have accumulated over thousands of years is at this moment like the technological explosion when they learned to boil water, bringing new vitality that even I can't react to.
Think about it, just a simple technology can make a technological society develop so rapidly, and the derived technologies are dazzling. Based on their thousands of years of accumulation, I only provided one of the spells, the fireball spell, which seems to have a similar effect.
But...their development seems to be different from what I expected.
According to their previous ideas, the combination of extraordinary skills and mechanical devices is the way to maximize the use of energy.
The power unique to Ninglan New City, the extraordinary mechanical weapon, has also officially completed a theoretical upgrade in front of me.
Extraordinary mechanical weapons are a way of utilizing extraordinary powers with extremely high efficiency developed by the geniuses in Ninglan New City. The armor and weapons worn by the city defense forces that I have seen before are all first-generation weapons, which use inscriptions to drive extraordinary powers.
The ranking is in the category of Type I special killing weapon.
That’s right, when there was no energy tide, the outer city defense forces of Ninglan New City used Type I commonly used light outer armor.
There are many types of Type I extraordinary killing weapons. The city defense forces, city guards, and even the underground city patrol teams all use different types of Type I extraordinary weapons.
Depending on the strength of the enemy, they would replace Type II or even tactical Type III extraordinary killing weapons in turn. The previous attack that seriously injured the nightmare was a Type III extraordinary killing weapon, a long-range extraordinary force-driven firearm.
Although I felt that the extraordinary killing weapons they made were more like alchemical items and a bit like enchantment techniques, I still asked them for their results. After all, this was the premise for me to provide them with rune-related knowledge and share theoretical results.
Moreover, I am an outsider. Although the relevant technical data of Type III extraordinary skills and so on have involved confidentiality levels, I can ignore this. This is the result of their comprehensive consideration.
Firstly, they can't stop me if I really want to know the information. Secondly, we are not from their world, at least that's what they think. The other thing is to sign a confidentiality agreement. Although this is just a waste of paper to me, I still have to go through the formality.
Now, I have completely become one of the core figures in the Extraordinary Research Base. Here, the skills you possess are the only standard for others to admire you. Although Ning Lanqiuyue said that these geniuses are very individual and have their own quirks, etc., I am really willing to listen to them when it comes to academics.
At this moment, many people even put down their current research and came to learn the theoretical knowledge of runes from me.
The emergence of this phenomenon seems to be related to Ning Lanqiuyue's information propaganda. Ning Lanqiuyue emphasized my identity as an outsider and hinted at my special identity and the speculation that I might leave at any time, so they seemed so anxious.
After all, there was such an opportunity right in front of you. If you didn't seize it, you would regret it when you lost it.
But this does not deny their emphasis on runes.
I have benefited a lot from these two days and have had many discussions with scholars. However, as more and more people came, I could not answer them all by myself, so I simply turned it into a question-and-answer format. Besides, I also have my own private life, and many scholars would leave me letters when I was away during this period.
This approach was followed in a very short time.
Perhaps it was out of face-saving for the elderly scholars... Compared to asking questions in a low-minded manner in front of a girl who was who knows how many years younger than themselves, they chose to communicate by leaving messages, but I still prefer to discuss issues with them face to face.
As for the writing work, I asked Yu Meng who is here to help. Yu Meng seems to be born with the language and writing that I know now. I guess this is what she learned from the witch contract signed by the dean. This understanding of language belongs to the power of the contract. Even if the memory and cognition of Nightmare are stripped away, the information attached to the contract will not be separated.
After all, I have discussed with Teacher Ji Niang the common sense of learning languages through contracts, but unfortunately it seems unrealistic to use contracts to learn knowledge. After all, the knowledge to be learned must also be written into the contract bit by bit. The difficulty of making such a contract is comparable to learning the knowledge again. However, the advantage is that the contract can be printed. This kind of contract is often used in the field of language, and the production of this kind of contract also requires extremely deep attainments in the art of contract, which is not something that the ordinary contracts we play can do.
If you ask me, instead of going through so much trouble, it would be better to have a memory bookshelf and spell book.
It is very convenient to use.
"Sister Xiaohan, I have written the response to this question according to your instructions. Do you want me to give it to the old man who asked this question?"
"Well, go ahead. Be careful on the road and don't get stepped on by others~" I nodded and said with a smile.
Then the petite Yu Meng carefully folded the written papers and put them into an envelope, then jumped down and landed steadily on the ground. The table she was lying on was a little higher than her height, but this was nothing for Yu Meng, a cat girl with a small and flexible body. Perhaps Yu Meng also inherited the flexible bodies of the cat girls.
It's so cute to see them jumping around in the clothes specially made for them by the Scholars Base.
I really don't understand why some residents of the underground city would reject these cute creatures.
After dealing with these problems at hand, today's affairs have come to an end. After all, I also need a balance between work and rest, and I cannot let myself fall into excessive fatigue because of such things.
Moreover, the clothes I was wearing were also the uniform of the Extraordinary Research Base, but this set of clothes was changed for me using the dream rewriting spell. After all, I couldn't wear the clothes here, so I just kept it this way for convenience.
Of course, I don't need to wear this outfit, but I found that wearing this outfit can reduce a lot of trouble in the underground city, because ordinary people living here don't dare to mess with the scholars here, and the ground patrol team here is also very partial to the scholars of the Extraordinary Research Base. It can be said that this is a great deterrent when facing those gangsters who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Don’t think that just because the underground city seems more developed and prosperous than the Ninglan New City on the ground, the quality of the people here is very high. In fact, it is quite the opposite. There are many street thugs and even shameful activities in secret.
A punk society with high-end extraordinary skills and low-end life has already formed here. Street security cannot be managed by patrol teams alone.
Everyone here has had their ancestors stay in the Extraordinary Research Base for several generations. It can be said that the people here have brought their inherent sense of superiority to the extreme, especially when facing newcomers from the ground.
It's just that with the presence of the ground patrol team they won't cause any more trouble.
Of course, I have my own reasons for wanting to use this identity. After all, this way I can protect Yu Meng in part. Yu Meng's frail body and naive character make her the lowest existence here. Even though the ground patrol team has been asked to take good care of Yu Meng, many things that happened in secret cannot be undone.
"Let's go. That's all for today." I clapped my hands and said to Yu Meng here. Then, they began to pack up their equipment quickly and waited for my next instruction.
Perhaps it is because of the social beatings these fools have suffered here these days that they have not fully accepted their identities as workers here and seem a little restrained. However, they should be able to adapt given some time.
As I walked out of my laboratory and came outside, some apprentices passing by me would stop and salute me very enthusiastically. After all, they were just apprentices doing odd jobs here, not formal scholars or masters of skills. They could be said to be the lowest level of existence in the base. But even so, after they went out, they could say that they were working in the Extraordinary Research Base, and no one dared to touch them.
When I walked out of the gate of the base, I saw a group of petite figures in a corner looking towards me timidly.
When I realized that they were just foolish dreams, I roughly understood what was happening.
Although Yumeng is trying to integrate into the community, not all of them can find jobs that can support their lives.
There are even many people who have bad intentions towards these cute creatures. After realizing that Yu Meng is being persecuted, they will subconsciously seek help. The Ground Patrol Team is naturally their first choice, but the Ground Patrol Team is not Yu Meng's babysitter. They will also be annoyed if they are bothered by trivial matters or troubles.
Therefore, their only option at this moment is to stick together and seek other help.
"Come here, little guys. Are you in trouble again?" I came in front of these foolish dreams, and the foolish dreams who came out with me also hurried forward to comfort them.
After some conversation, I also got a general understanding. It seems that Yu Meng is in trouble here again, and it's not a small one. It has reached the point where even if Yu Meng goes to find the ground patrol team alone, the ground patrol team will find it troublesome.
After all, the world is full of human relationships. The underground patrol team is not a simple upright official violent agency that maintains the safety of the underground city.
"Tsk... this is really troublesome..."
Chapter 316: Yu Meng's Dilemma
This is not the first time that Yu Meng has encountered difficulties. The easiest way is naturally to take them to find the ground patrol team. After all, I have seen how good the ground patrol team here is in speaking differently to different people.
It may not work if the foolish people go to look for them, but it will definitely work if I go to look for them.
Although I have not been in the Extraordinary Research Base for a long time and its reputation has not spread to the outside world, some information spreads very quickly in certain places. After all, they make a living from this, so they naturally need to understand who can be provoked, who cannot be provoked, and who needs to be supported.
Although the underground city looks very large, to live here, almost everyone has seen it.
The class division in the underground city is very obvious, and the distribution of benefits is very clear, which is why there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Soon, I led this group of foolish dreams and walked into the gate of the ground patrol team wearing the uniforms of the Extraordinary Research Base.
When the other party saw my clothes, he came towards me with more enthusiasm than when he saw me in person.
"Hello, hello... Mr. Scholar, I wonder what kind of trouble you encountered when you came to our patrol team?"
"I do have some minor problems, but I wonder if you can help me solve them." I looked at the other party's enthusiastically extended hand and directly rejected it, "No need to shake hands... What? I have already walked into your patrol team, and you still haven't found out which scholar I am in the base?"
"Oh no, no, no, how could that be? You are the new foreign scholar who came to the Extraordinary Research Base these two days. You are the most popular person in the base now."
"So you know that? Then the troubles these little guys are encountering are my troubles. Please help deal with them." I said.
"Yes, yes, someone come and help register. That... scholar Yang Yuehan... right? We have prepared some tea for you. Why don't you sit down and chat slowly? After all, it's quite troublesome to solve the problems of those little guys."
"Yeah." Under his guidance, I walked into the reception room, and I sat down in a comfortable seat without any hesitation.
"But dealing with troubles, isn't that the duty of your patrol team?"
"That's true, but we can't possibly take care of every communication here. Scholars, you may stay in the laboratory every day and don't know the sufferings of the world..."
"I know what's needed to settle this matter?" After all, I cannot influence the reality, which is an objective problem that I have to face. When asking someone to do something, I naturally have to give benefits, just like it is easy to see the King of Hell but difficult to deal with the little devils. Giving benefits is the most direct way to deal with it.
Talking more to such people will only lead to nonsense. Isn't my identity as a scholar here just for convenience?
"Haha, look at what you said..."
After a brief communication with the other party, we reached a consensus as quickly as possible. After all, I won't live here forever. Even if it damages the interests of the base, no one will dare to say anything in the short term. As for the long term... it seems like I will stay here forever.
The demands of the Ground Patrol are actually very simple. They are the armed forces in the underground city. What could they want more than advanced weapons?
It is easy for me to make weapons. The only trouble is whether these foolish dreams can be executed and meet my requirements.
"Let's go little ones, say goodbye to the brothers and sisters in the ground patrol team here."
Amid the lovely farewells of this group of foolish dreams, the ground patrol team also saw us off.
After seeing people walking away, the relaxed atmosphere here was gone.
"Captain, why should we agree to that woman's request? They are just a bunch of beggars on the street, but you really treat them as treasures."
"Hey, that's not a little stray cat begging on the street. Now it's our little benefactor of the patrol team. Let's get busy and help our scholar... to find the cat."
"Captain, that scholar is just an outsider. He might leave at any time. He doesn't have any support from any force behind him. There's no need for us to be so respectful to him, right?"
"I say, why are you so stupid? Don't you understand that less trouble is worse than more trouble? Doesn't she have no power? Doesn't she have no value? It is precisely because she is not from here that she is generous."
"By the way, have you found out which group kidnapped those cats? If they are gangsters, be direct. If not..."
"Captain, it doesn't seem so, this..."
"Oh... trouble, I knew it wouldn't be an easy task." Hearing that it was not those gangsters, the captain interrupted the other party and went to check it out himself.
"this…"
"Captain, those cats came to us before with this matter, and we rejected them after investigation, but we didn't expect them to find this person..."
"Stop, I get it. Next time you encounter something like this, let me know in advance. Damn... there are too few things. Wait for me to make a call."
The captain looked angry, took out something like a mobile phone and walked into the empty reception room.
