High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1631: Chapter 375: Target, Black Prison Castle

It’s a pity that both Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu are children with thin skin.

The Black Cat was ready in its pose, but the two young wizards were like beans in a pod, speechless for a moment. Just looking at each other, and when not looking at each other, both turned their heads in unison, staring blankly into the distance.

In the distance, half of the blue big fish was still buried in the dirt, occasionally flipping its tail.

Further in the distance, the black mountain goat’s cub, at some point, turned its body and was looking solemnly into the distance as if it had discovered something in the ink-black night.

This was not the scene the Black Cat had imagined.

”Yo, little girl, long time no see.”

The Black Cat raised its paw, waved at Jiang Yu, and greeted slickly: ”This world is like a room with closed doors and windows, murky and stuffy... You are like fresh air, finally bringing some life to this world.”

The witch had already noticed this black cat.

But because she had too many questions in her heart, she didn’t know where to start asking, nor did she bother with it. Now that the Black Cat greeted her first, she naturally wouldn’t ignore it.

”Hello.”

The witch hesitantly waved back at the Black Cat while suspiciously glancing at Zheng Qing, not sure what was going on—wasn’t Zheng Qing the Black Cat? Where did this Black Cat come from? Wasn’t it Zheng Qing who witnessed her and Elena’s contract with his paw print? What is the relationship between this Black Cat and Zheng Qing?

After Zheng Qing turned into a Black Cat, it looked very much like this one!

With Poseidon’s story, Jiang Yu suddenly realized that if this Black Cat did have a special relationship with Zheng Qing, it wouldn’t be that surprising.

”Don’t overthink it,”

The Black Cat easily discerned the witch’s hesitant expression, showing a bit of annoyance on its face: ”I’m the Black Cat that helped at last year’s hunting party... I spent some time as a shadow, but now I’m independent, an entity with an independent cat character... independent, understand?”

The witch quietly breathed a sigh of relief, immediately recalling the black ’Tiger’ that shone brightly at the school hunting competition last year. The brief chaos nearly turned her mind to mush.

”This cat is really big!”

Zhu Si appeared from behind Jiang Yu at some point, curiously looking at the Black Cat and whispering to the witch: ”...There aren’t many in Wusa City raised as well as this one. If it went to Wusa City, it could definitely enter the temple.”

The Black Cat looked at the little witch with great interest.

”You’re really small.” It answered seriously: ”There aren’t many ghosts in the entire First University smaller than you... Are you planning to become an Earth-bound Spirit? It can speed up your growth! I have connections at the Dark Blue Castle; they caused trouble last year... Of course, it’s been resolved now... I can help you find a nice room over there...”

Zhu Si looked at the Black Cat with a bewildered face, not knowing what it was talking about.

Zheng Qing, however, blackened his face, wiggling his toes in front of the Black Cat to signal it to shut up.

”Can you send the two of them back?” He pointed upward to the white rainbow above, then gestured at the two witches in front of him, asking the Black Cat.

Jiang Yu’s face changed slightly.

”No.” The Black Cat answered crisply, making the witch’s face relax.

”Why?” Zheng Qing’s finger was already on the trigger of the Charm Gun, contemplating whether to shoot the sky to try breaking the boundary between the Black Prison and reality.

”Because you broke it.” The Black Cat glanced at the warlock’s itching fingers with disdain: ”Besides causing destruction, can you have other ideas? A real wizard should be better at creating, not destroying.”

”I’ve only been enrolled for a year; I’m not considered a real wizard yet.” The young scholarship student had no shame on his face.

The Black Cat looked up at the white rainbow in the sky, letting out a deep sigh: ”Originally, it was a door that could be accessed both ways, but you shattered it... It’s like a road having its foundation destroyed, turning from a two-way lane into a one-way lane... Hmm, that’s a bad analogy... Uh, in short, the door can only be entered now, not exited. This is a change based on the Black Prison’s defense rules. Unless you’re confident in destroying the entire world.”

If Zheng Qing could completely master the Forbidden Curse, he might have a way to destroy the whole Black Prison. But the Forbidden Curse in his body was just a seedling, and even if he could destroy the world, he wouldn’t dare.

Not to mention the consequences of being hunted by the entire Mage Alliance after destroying the Black Prison, with the witch right beside him, he couldn’t risk mutual destruction just for the sake of a door.

”Then what about them?” Zheng Qing asked anxiously.

”Send them to the Black Prison Castle.” The Black Cat said nonchalantly, flicking its tail: ”As far as I know, that place is the hub of the entire Black Prison formation. Even if the entire Black Prison is closed, there will be a gateway linking inside and outside left there, which can directly return to the school.”

”Black Prison Castle?” Zheng Qing glanced around: ”Where is that?”

”How would I know!” The Black Cat rolled its eyes: ”Do I look like I’m familiar with this place? It’s also my first time in the Black Prison!”

Indeed, you look quite familiar with the Black Prison, Zheng Qing thought sarcastically, his gaze suddenly sharpening, focusing on the two nearby ’sculptures’.

The Old Witch Demon was slowly sinking down; its feet were already submerged among the gravel, and combined with the deep wrinkles on its face, it looked even more like a weathered statue.

Zheng Qing watched it intently.

The Old Witch Demon continued to play dead.

The Black Cat, with its tail upright, circled around the Old Witch Demon’s leg, sprinkling a few precious drops of urine.

”It can’t run away,” it confidently assured Zheng Qing: ”As long as it’s in this world, I can find it anytime. It can’t run away!”

Zheng Qing smiled in satisfaction, staring at the Old Witch Demon, no longer hesitating: ”You know how to get to the Black Prison Castle, don’t you.”

Jiang Yu curiously glanced at the statue; she had noticed these two sculptures before but thought they were some discarded objects from the wizards in the Black Prison, never expecting them to be alive.

The Old Witch Demon remained silent for a moment, eventually opening its eyes in helplessness, revealing two scarlet dots.

”Demon?!” The witch was startled by those eyes, gasping softly and instinctively taking a step back, one hand pulling out the law book, and the other clutching a jade talisman.

But seeing Zheng Qing and the Black Cat’s calm demeanor made her realize she might have overreacted, a slight flush appearing on her face: ”...I always thought they were stone sculptures!”

”We are indeed stone sculptures, honorable miss.” The Old Witch Demon replied respectfully: ”Whatever you wish us to be, we shall be, never wrong.”

The witch looked bewildered.

She had never met such a compliant demon before, completely contrary to the ferocious demons in her impression.
