High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 2697: Chapter 918: A Series of Coincidences

”First of all, I’m not stinky.”

”Secondly, there are still many wizards interested in me.”

Zheng Qing raised two fingers to correct the doctor’s opinion—driven by a straightforward sense of crisis, he made mental notes of wizard groups that could cause him physical harm. Naturally, ravens were at the top of the list, but it wasn’t just them; the Dark Council, Fallen Wizards from the Land of Desolation, and Su Shijun’s fanatic fans were equally dangerous.

Demons represented by Fallen Wizards need no further emphasis.

The Dark Council had also launched attacks on him more than once. For instance, during the winter hunting season of freshman year, they set a trap with a sandbox mini world. If it wasn’t for the intervention, Su Daxu almost lost her beautiful big tails.

Besides that, the Moon Council had also been part of this category, but with Su Shijun’s near-official announcement of their relationship, at least the threat on the surface was temporarily eliminated.

When Xiao Xiao mentioned the word ’interesting,’ Zheng Qing’s first reaction was actually Su Shijun’s fanatic fans. After all, whether it was Fallen Wizards or the mice of the Dark Council, sneaking into the dorms of First University without being noticed was highly challenging. On the other hand, Su Shijun’s fans, given their large presence at the school, were well illustrated by the ’Burn Someone Parade’ they organized last Halloween.

Considering this, and the terrifying gifts he had received, Zheng Qing instinctively stepped away from his bed, fearing that just a slight approach could activate a series of explosive charms.

”Lastly,”

He raised a third finger, curiously looking at Xiao Xiao, ”I don’t believe you overlooked the suspicion of those fanatic fans... What made you think it was the ravens that intruded?”

Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses.

”Because we didn’t talk about topics related to Su Councilor’s fanatics this morning,”

He provided a very fatalistic explanation in the style of a diviner: ”Moreover, from the crystal ball and line drawing, I can’t see any recent risk of attack from them... On the contrary, we happened to chat about ’ravens,’ ’breaking into dorms,’ and ’mysterious aggregation theory’ this morning... Don’t you think this matter is a specific manifestation of mysterious aggregation? The mysterious nature of magic is in how it’s terrifying yet more intriguing.”

”Not as mysterious as the doctor says,”

Xin Fat Man waved his hand nonchalantly: ”Simply because we’ve already checked your bed without finding any curses or traps... but your hair, dander, and other biological information were completely absent... Don’t forget those ravens were trying to get these things recently.”

”Fanatics could also use my hair for a curse,” Zheng Qing reminded.

”That possibility can’t be ruled out,” Xin Fat Man reluctantly nodded and glanced at Zheng Qing’s messy bed: ”All in all, we just did a simple check—if any hidden curse is concealed, it’ll require professional school personnel to inspect.”

Seeing Zheng Qing seemed to want to say something again.

The Fat Wizard waved his hand downward, making a firm gesture.

”Don’t argue about who broke in; leave such matters to the school’s investigation.”

He slightly intensified his tone, spreading his arms and looking around: ”...The key problem now is that the school dormitory is insecure! Such a thing has never happened... At least, I’ve never heard of it! First University’s student dormitory got robbed? If this gets out, it’ll be the Beta Town Post’s headline for a whole month! Remember the freshman admission aircraft accident? Beta Town Post kept repeating it for half a term! That incident isn’t nearly as bad as this one!”

Though his wording showed some disdain for the post, Xin Fat Man’s tone was extremely excited, his expression like he was looking at a sumptuous dish of juicy pork knuckles.

Zheng Qing could guess what the Fat Wizard was planning with his toes.

”If you want to publish a news article, you’d better hurry.”

He kindly reminded him: ”From my dealings with the school, generally, after their investigation, they’ll likely make us sign a Silence Contract.”

With these words.

He stopped concerning himself with the Fat Wizard’s ambitions, glanced around the messy dorm, and finally asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time: ”Did Tuan Tuan see anyone come in?”

Aw!

The Fat Cat turned its head away sheepishly.

Thankfully, Xiao Xiao spoke up in time to explain: ”As soon as we came in and saw the situation, we asked... It said that at the time, some pretty female cats showed up outside the window, and it went out for a roam with them.”

”Getting close to good people makes us better, getting close to bad makes us worse.” The Fat Wizard muttered while busy writing.

Zheng Qing pretended not to hear.

Calmly, he pointed to the black coffin on the other bed: ”Where’s Dylan? Shouldn’t he be lying in the coffin sleeping at this time?”

Xiao Xiao shrugged: ”I only know the coffin is empty.”

”I know this!”

Xin Fat Man raised the feather pen in his hand, speaking rapidly: ”The teaching team organized a graduate student networking event, and he went to try his luck. You know, this week is midterms week, and many graduates come back to school now. If you miss this networking event, fourth-year seniorettes may actually never be seen again.”

”It takes quite a bit of precision timing for that,” Xiao Xiao reminded with deep meaning.

Zheng Qing frowned and continued to ask: ”What about Ni Wuye? It guards the dorm’s main entrance; could anyone fool it into letting them in?”

”I suspect two possibilities: one like you turning into a cat and taking the unconventional route through the window; the other, more likely, is an internal person with access permissions.”

At this, Xiao Xiao shook his head: ”In this school, many have access to male dorms. Warlocks can enter, witches can enter, teachers can enter, caretakers can enter, cats can enter, dogs can enter, even parrots, squirrels can also come in...”

”If we were residing in a witch dormitory, we could immediately eliminate half the warlocks.” The Fat Wizard scratched his chin, suddenly sounding disgruntled: ”This is essentially blatant discrimination policies... but nobody sees it!”

”It’s hard to say whether half could be eliminated.”

Xiao Xiao maintained reservations about the Fat Wizard’s statements, glancing at Zheng Qing with a nuanced expression: ”After all, the Rainbow Wizards Group that previously contacted Mr. Zha... Many wizards in that group don’t have clear genders.”

Zheng Qing looked grimly at the time.

”Have you reported to the school?”

He glanced at the dorm door, still wide open behind him, looking puzzled: ”Where are the school staff? Logically, whether the School Works Committee or the teaching team, after receiving your message, they should be rushing over!”
