It's weird to apply for Witch Academy as a boy

When the people from the Extraordinary Research Base found the Ground Patrol Team, they couldn't believe that the people from the base were so efficient.

How many days has it been since the nightmare appeared?

In the past, when there were some minor security issues that required cooperation from the base, they would always be delayed for a month or several months, and from time to time they would talk about the beast tide on the ground or the excessive consumption of reserves.

Sometimes the quality is also a problem.

But now this one, although it is indeed lacking in quality, is an experimental model that has not been mass-produced.

Even so, we only had a brief training on how to use it before Operation Nightmare, and now we can get started right away.

They looked at the nightmares trapped in the front part of the nightmare killing weapons in their hands. Although it was a killing weapon, it did not have the ability to kill nightmares and could only trap them.

At that time, they will have to escort these nightmares all the way to the Extraordinary Research Base for special containment.

According to the base, the Nightmare Killer is still in the development stage. If you want to truly kill the Nightmare, the Nightmare Killer must at least be upgraded to the Type II Nightmare Killer.

And now the Nightmare Killer hasn't even released its official I model. The people in the Ground Patrol Team naturally understand that this is the Extraordinary Research Base they are familiar with, and its efficiency is extremely slow.

And at this moment, the Ninglan New City on the ground.

"Lord City Lord, there are rumors in the city that you are colluding with the nightmare demon and are killing ordinary people..."

"Since we know it's a rumor, just suppress it. I don't want this kind of thing to spread any further."

"Yes."

"City Lord, there's news from the city defense army that the mutant beasts outside the city are behaving differently than in previous years. This month's beast tide may break out a few days earlier. Based on preliminary analysis, it may be related to the outsiders we drove out."

"A slight connection? There is definitely a connection. Outsiders were expelled from our Ninglan New City. They colluded with mutant beasts outside the city out of resentment and set off a beast tide. Outsiders are our biggest enemy. Do you know how to suppress those rumors?"

"Yes... the city lord."

"My Lord, there is news from the Extraordinary Research Base in the Underground City. They have made a breakthrough in the Nightmare Killer project. The experimental samples have successfully captured the nightmare. It won't be long before the Type I Nightmare Killer can be put into small-scale manual mass production."

"So fast..." Ning Lanqiuyun sighed subconsciously after hearing the news report.

"I heard that the underground city reused an outsider scholar... The outsider brought new extraordinary skills, and this nightmare killer..."

"Okay, I get it," he said, waving his hand.

"Then City Lord, regarding the purchase of nightmare killers..."

"We have our own methods, or do you look down on the strength of our Extraordinary Skills Research Association?" Ning Lanqiuyun glared at the person who was reporting.

It was impossible for him to reveal his cooperation with the nightmare demon. Although he knew that many of the officials under him seemed to be held hostage by the nightmare demon, this was still not something that could be said openly.

Of course, the methods used by Nightmare Demon naturally need a source. Does Ninglan New City have its own extraordinary skills research base?

No, the long-term reliance of the ground on the extraordinary skills of the underground, and the long-term cooperative relationship formed, have made the ground completely abandon the research of extraordinary skills. At most, there is only an Extraordinary Skills Research Association.

Moreover, the president of the association named Wu Mali is just a young man who has just taken over. As the city lord, it is easy for him to control such a person.

He just needed a reasonable excuse, but those weapons seemed to be very effective against outsiders, but they were not effective against nightmares.

Even the special team of the Dream City Guard would end up in a mess.

If it weren't for the cooperation of the Nightmare Demon, they would have no means to kill the Nightmare.

"City Lord, we have to get rid of the nightmare. We can only rely on the special city guard team to deal with the nightmare now, but they have to take care of the nightmare and expel outsiders. Many people have expressed that they can't stand too many deaths. If this continues and the first death occurs, it will greatly shake the city guard..."

"That's enough, I know, but the beast tide is approaching, I hope you know the severity of the situation!"

Then, the matter was settled, but finally, out of some considerations, they also planned to buy some samples of the Nightmare Killer for trial.

Afterwards, Ning Lanqiuyun went back to handling official business. Ever since he was haunted by this bone-eating and soul-stirring nightmare, Ning Lanqiuyun found that managing Ninglan New City was becoming increasingly difficult, and there were even more and more things he had to deal with and weigh.

But there was no way, he had no choice. This was the sorrow of the weak. As the city lord, he knew very well that the human settlement of Ninglan New City built on the ruins was so fragile.

After thousands of years of existence, it would have fallen apart if a little difficulty had occurred. The fact that Ninglan New City has lasted so long may be partly due to their own efforts, but the bigger reason is that they were lucky and did not encounter any disaster.

And now, the arrival of these outsiders, the emergence of nightmares and the lurking of that damn dream demon, each of them is a bomb enough to destroy the entire Ninglan New City.

He felt like he was dying, and even though to outsiders he seemed to be still in his prime, the decay of his mind and body was already visible to the naked eye.

He insists on exercising every day to prevent physical problems, and uses extraordinary skills to strengthen his body. All of this is to better dedicate himself to Ninglan New City, and everything is for the continuation of Ninglan New City.

And of course...his children.

Ninglanqiuyu.

He needs to help him eliminate these external factors in the remaining time he has. Those outsiders and nightmares are not a fundamental threat to Ninglan Qiuyun. He is also an old man, how could he not see the harm that nightmares bring to Ninglan New City?

The nightmare demon is Ninglan New City’s biggest enemy!

He needs to get rid of all the nightmares before leaving, but who should he use to do it?

Those outsiders, his good daughter has brought this matter to the group of outsiders. The nightmare demon's hand has already occupied the position of the city lord. He needs to pull down those nightmare demons to attract the hatred of outsiders and kill them together with himself.

All it takes is a fuse. Public opinion in the city seems to be all over the place, but it is easy to reverse it. It can be said that he has laid the groundwork for a lot of things, just waiting for his son to rebel.

Ninglan Qiuyun was already prepared to be infamous for all eternity, to clear the obstacles for his son, and eventually to become his stepping stone, stepping on his corpse to ascend to the position of the Lord of Ninglan New City.

He could naturally see the desire and ambition that his son suppressed in his heart, he just pretended not to know.

He also hopes that his son has such an idea. If his son is not interested in the position of city lord, that would be what he would be anxious about.

As for his daughter, arresting her and confining her to her house is also a kind of protection for her. Before those nightmare demons have used him up, if they dare to touch his daughter, he will fight them to the death. For the sake of their own interests, those nightmare demons will not make any moves at least for a short period of time, provided that Ning Lanqiuyue does not do anything that touches the nerves of those nightmare demons.

"How's Ning Lanqiuyu doing?" Just when Ning Lanqiuyu opened his mouth to ask, the officials below put down what they were holding and left as if they were possessed.

Seeing this scene, Ning Lanqiuyun cursed inwardly, but couldn't get angry.

Then an enchanting figure gently appeared behind Ning Lanqiuyun. She snuggled up to Ning Lanqiuyun's back and gently stroked the bulging muscle lines on Ning Lanqiuyun's back with her fingers, giving Ning Lanqiuyun goose bumps.

"You care so much about your son?"

"I advise you not to do anything to my son." Ning Lanqiuyun threatened coldly.

But the nightmare remained unmoved.

"Well then~ That boy looks much more delicious than your father. It seems I won't be able to taste him before you leave~"

"Don't worry, I can hold on for a long time."

"Are you still dealing with official documents? Why don't you take this opportunity to release yourself with me and enjoy that wonderful experience again?"

"Wait until I finish my work." Ning Lanqiuyun said with a gloomy face.

"Let me see~ Um~ Underground City... Nightmare Killer, haha, it seems I have seen something interesting. I didn't expect that the Underground City that I never paid much attention to quietly built such a thing?"

"Why are you curious about this?"

"It's just a small toy. It can only trap nightmares. It's so fragile that it can't even kill them. It's really something you don't have. How dare you buy some to play with?"

"It's just a test. After all, you all know that your efficiency in dealing with nightmares in the city is too low. If someone assists you, it can improve your efficiency."

"That's true. I have to deal with nightmares myself every time. If you catch the nightmares and let me help you clean them up, it will save a lot of trouble."

"So you also choose to be lazy?"

"Why not? This way I can have more time to see if you're doing anything behind my back."

"Humph…"

Ning Lanqiuyun did not respond because he knew that his next actions might become more difficult.

Are you really suspicious after all? You looked down on him before. The underground city cannot be touched by these nightmares. There are more important things there, the source of the Ninglan Sheltering Stele, which is the foundation of the Ninglan New City. The nightmares of outsiders cannot destroy it, but nightmares can.

Underground city.

With the successful completion of many experiments on the experimental Nightmare Killer, the appearance of the official Type I Nightmare Killer can now be officially redesigned.

Of course, the base also obtained a lot of test information and data intelligence about the Nightmare Killer from the Ground Patrol Team, and then made further adjustments to it, but these trivial matters are not something I should care about.

I am simply responsible for breakthroughs in theory and skills.

Of course, it is crucial that this skill can also be expressed in the form of spells.

As for the research on Type II Nightmare Killer, I plan to let them conduct the research step by step on their own. With the case of Type I Nightmare Killer and theoretical guidance, I believe they should be able to complete it in no time.

Of course, it’s not that I won’t participate. After all, without my participation, it would probably take them several months to make a breakthrough in something as simple as this.

After all, this is still a very fast progress.

I pulled myself out of this and only provided theoretical guidance for the Nightmare Killer to save time, of course, because I still had my own things to do.

I want to make some attempts and begin to break through the limitations of my dreams.

It is true that when I descend here directly, there will be great risks for me, but if my consciousness is only here, the risks I face will only be greater.

So I have to do this.

And now that I have decided to do this, I must naturally be fully prepared to deal with various emergencies, no matter how small the probability is. I will not allow such a meaningless accident to happen.

Before that, I need to fully understand the teleportation spell book that Sister Bai has.

Using a spellbook is one thing, using spells without a spellbook is another thing, and fully understanding the internal structure, rune rituals, and operating effects of a spell is another thing entirely.

Mastering this spell thoroughly can prevent me from being helpless in the face of most unexpected situations. Another point that Sister Bai reminded me of is that the spatial coordinate anchor point reserved for the teleportation spell cannot be in the dream, which means that the subsequent arrangements cannot go through my hands.

But I need Yu Meng's help. It's not that I don't trust the other scholars or apprentices here, but I never trusted any of them from the beginning to the end. This is a matter of principle. The relationship between me and them will only be an academic discussion relationship, and there will be no in-depth communication. Even if they are learning rune rituals and other things related to the supernatural, I will not teach them if they are meaningless to me, unless the other party shows the value of letting me teach him.

As for Yu Meng, I know them inside and out, so I naturally trust them, and I also called Sister Bai over.

Although... Sister Bai is helpless about everything that happens in reality, but at least if something irreversible really happens, I won't be completely clueless about the situation when I come back.

"Xiao Han, is it really okay?"

"Sister Bai, you should wish me success instead of worrying about me." I said to Sister Bai with a smile.

Witch Academy, Infirmary.

"Hmm... I'm so bored. Do you have any toys with you? Lend me some... Mine is out of battery."

"Huh? Why are you still using the electric one? Aren't the magic-driven ones powerful enough?"

“It’s cheap…”

Two senior school sisters who were working part-time in the infirmary and taking care of the sleeping cursed patient were chatting about a topic that defied fate when they were bored.

At this moment, one of the senior students facing the door suddenly stood up.

"Hello, Dean!"

"Huh? Hey!? Hello, Dean! Why are you here?" The other one also quickly stood up and turned around, and saw the figure.

"It's okay, you guys go out for a while, I'll take over here." May Lind looked at the two students with a smile and said.

"Okay! Okay!"

The two senior students quickly stood up and left without any hesitation.

Chapter 329 Conversation with the Dean

After the two men left, May Lind turned his gaze from the direction they left to a bed here.

Dean May Lind looked at the person lying on the bed with a smile on her face. She then slowly leaned over, reached out her hand and pinched that cute face.

Time passed by little by little, and suddenly, at some point, the person on the bed trembled slightly.

Afterwards, the man who had been lying in bed for several days let out a whimpering sound as if he had just woken up.

At this moment, I just felt stiff and sore all over, mixed with strong fatigue and the drowsiness from not getting enough sleep, and I stretched my hands subconsciously.

"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm?"

When I overcame my tiredness and opened my eyes, a blurry figure in my sight instantly woke me up.

"Dean!"

"Oh? Are you so nervous seeing me?"

"without…"

After I recovered, I moved my wrists and sat up. I felt uncomfortable all over. I had been lying down for too long.

"Dean, why are you here?"

"Is it not allowed for me to care about my students?"

"Allowed, of course allowed, that..." I nodded quickly, but at this moment the dean was here deliberately waiting for me to wake up, which also meant one thing, that is, the dean has always been aware of our current situation.

"You want to ask me what I want you to do?"
