Chapter 170 Secret 01
“Bang!!!!”
The door was blasted open with great force. Before Kong Zhuning could say anything, Jiang Yuelu, with a dark face, pressed his hands heavily on the table, "Dean Kong, you'd better give me an explanation."
Kong Zhuning saw that he was full of murderous aura and didn't understand why.
Jiang Yuelu and Leng Wenhan were invited by Su Tie to Linya City a few days ago, and the news had already spread in the academy. However, the news that he passed the Yinsi Money Competition was only announced by the system early this morning.
However, this announcement was not a public notice, and only the dean and several vice-deans knew about it.
Kong Zhuning was very happy to see Jiang Yuelu return safely.
This is the student who has traveled the furthest in the college's history of over a hundred years.
"You're back? I just found out from the Divine Sound System..." Even someone as rough as Kong Zhuning could sense Jiang Yuelu's low pressure that was about to get out of control. He restrained his expression and asked, "What happened?"
"What is it? What are you asking me?"
Jiang Yuelu was extremely angry.
It is hard to describe what his mood was when he saw the word "Kong" left by Cycas. He didn't even bother to meet up with Leng Wenhan who had hurried over. After saying goodbye to Xia Yi, he ran back to the academy.
"Where the hell are my brothers and sisters?"
On the way here, he swore that if Dean Kong didn't give him an explanation, he would turn the Wizard Academy upside down today - not to mention that he didn't have the capital, even if he couldn't do it, he could call Xia Yi!
Do you dare not give face to the Ghost King?
With him here, do you still dare to fool me?
"I'm telling you, Dean Kong. It took me a lot of effort to get into your college. I was prepared to die when I dared to set myself on fire."
He leaned forward, and Kong Zhuning could even see the bulging blue veins on his neck.
Jiang Yuelu has always been calm, restrained and logical, but as soon as his brothers and sisters are involved, he will become a completely different person.
He would break down the dean's door and slam the table without any scruples at the highly respected Kong Zhuning, who was above everyone else.
Throw out the words coldly.
"I'm not a student of your college. I never have been. I promised you to go to Ghost City and fight for my life because you told me that Yan Fei and the others were in Ghost City, but you actually lied to me!"
Kong Zhuning didn't want to offend this out-of-control madman. God knows what kind of brain Vice President Tong had installed in him.
He leaned back slightly and looked into a pair of eyes that were boiling with anger. "Why do you say I lied to you?"
"What did you encounter in Linya City?"
Jiang Yuelu said nothing and looked at him coldly.
Kong Zhuning could only speak for himself.
"First of all, I'm not lying to you. Your brothers and sisters are indeed not in the academy. The wizards we were able to contact said that they have not seen them anywhere."
"Then it must be in Ghost City?" Jiang Yuelu paused, "Isn't it because only I can go to Ghost City and only I can attract the attention of those city masters that you made up such a lie and asked me to work hard for the fight between your wizards and ghosts? I'm not interested!"
"As a teacher I have to praise you for having a very rich imagination."
Kong Zhuning smiled, "But have you ever thought about what the academy is and what wizards are? We have survived until now and are still fighting with evil spirits that you look down upon, all just to protect the peace of the world."
Jiang Yuelu almost laughed when she heard this.
"So you are justice and light, and they are not?"
Ignoring the sarcasm in his tone, Kong Zhuning nodded, "Yes, you can ask any student if we have ever harmed anyone."
"The students we train are incompatible with evil spirits and will never violate the rules to threaten humans. What you said about making up lies and tricking you into working for them... these will never happen in the academy." Kong Zhuning lowered his tone, "I can guarantee it."
"What are you using as collateral? Your light-hearted acting position?"
"I guarantee it with my family's lives." Kong Zhuning said, "If what I said is false in the slightest, let me and my family go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to be reborn."
Jiang Yuelu looked silently at the photo frame on the table. The woman in the photo had a beautiful smile and was holding a swaddled baby. Dean Kong was standing behind them, his strong arms gently embracing the mother and daughter. His resolute expression seemed to say that he would not let a single drop of cold rain fall on them.
The first time he came to this room, he was shocked by the layout that looked like a child's room. No matter how you looked at it, this was not the room of a dean.
But it is a father's room.
Seeing Jiang Yuelu's expression ease, Kong Zhuning breathed a sigh of relief, "What did you encounter in Linya City? Why do you doubt me?"
Before he could finish his question, Jiang Yuelu turned around and said, "I'm tired. I want to go back and rest first."
Kong Zhuning still had many questions to ask him. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly remembered what Vice Dean Tong had warned him before: "Your straightforward character is too reckless. Don't force students to stay just because you want to know. This will cause them to resist and rebel."
Although Kong Zhuning didn't quite understand what he said, Vice Dean Tong has always been better at being a dean than himself, and he could see that Jiang Yuelu was very tired and needed to rest.
So they didn't keep him any longer, and considerately gave Jiang Yuelu a long vacation so that he could have a good rest before going to the college for classes.
"Which day do you plan to go to class?" As soon as I walked out the door, the system's voice sounded again.
Jiang Yuelu was a little dazed.
It seemed like he hadn't heard the system speak for a long time. He had only been in Linya City for a few days, but the information he had learned and the long period of mental tension made these days seem as long as several years.
The system said that she would obey his words as if she were obeying the orders of God. She would feel warm and touched when she heard these words before, but not now.
Just like he could no longer trust Dean Kong, he would first put a question mark in his mind when facing everything in the college.
Jiang Yuelu was silent for a moment. The emotionless female voice seemed to be able to read his thoughts, and she very considerately left room for him. "I have been busy with work at the academy these days, and I may not be able to respond to your call. If you want to end your alone time, I am very willing to talk to you."
Having said that, he disappeared.
She was originally a voice, ringing in the sky above the academy and in the ears of students all the time. Although she disappeared at this moment, I don't know if she is still monitoring me somewhere...
Jiang Yuelu shook her head, getting rid of this dark thought from her mind.
He couldn't doubt too many people, as this would affect his subsequent judgment. After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuelu took out the mobile phone issued by the college. When he was not at school, the mobile phone would shrink into a thin electronic card. Just now, when he was confronting Kong Zhuning in his office, this electronic card received a crucial message.
It was because of seeing that news that he was no longer angry.
Kong Zhuning mistakenly thought that his oath had gained his trust, but in fact he had more important things to do.
He directly contacted the person who sent him the message. The other party seemed to have been waiting in front of the phone for a long time and answered it in just one second. Without waiting for him to speak, Jiang Yuelu threw a series of questions: "How much do you know about Linya City and Su Tie's identity? Why did you ask me not to conflict with Dean Kong?"
"Do you also know where my brother and sister are going, Mo Zhixian?"
There was a pause.
After a long while, Yan Jing finally spoke, "You are wrong."
"First of all, I didn't say that I knew about Linya City and Su Tie's identity, and I didn't know where your brother and sister were. My message only mentioned one thing, which was that you should not conflict with Dean Kong at this time."
The other party was as clear and organized as writing a paper. His aloof tone made it clear that it had nothing to do with him. Jiang Yuelu laughed in his heart, "You knew I would have a conflict with him? Why? Could you have predicted it?"
"That's another question. Strictly speaking, wizards have many kinds of predictive abilities. You..."
Jiang Yuelu felt a headache after hearing this, "Why do you want to see me? Just tell me directly."
After being stopped from speaking for a while, Mo Zhixian was silent for a moment, "I... have a lot of questions that need to be answered."
Jiang Yuelu found it funny. No matter how you looked at it, Mo Zhixian knew more. He was the president of the student union. What could a half-baked wizard like him help him with?
However... perhaps we can use his identity to learn more about the academy's internal affairs. The more intelligence information there is, the better. Only with more information can we unravel the mystery and find the most accurate conclusion.
He couldn't delay any longer, Yan Fei and Yan Lu were still waiting for him...
"Let's make an appointment to meet tonight." Jiang Yuelu said before he could even agree, "But I want to bring two people with me."
It was Mo Zhixian who wanted something from him, "No problem."
But he also had unspoken selfish motives.
If possible, he would like to ask Jiang Yuelu to help him save someone tonight... If it is this highly anticipated newcomer, the academy might retract its decision.
Only Jiang Yuelu can give that person a glimmer of hope.
-
Academy, the prison for killing ghosts.
The outside world was warm as spring, but the underground where the prison was located was as cold as winter. Ice crystals condensed on the iron railings, and the bright light of the flowing talisman paper was flickering, which was the only light source in this dark corridor.
The new guard took a breath. "Damn, it's so cold. If I hadn't lost the bet, I wouldn't have been here..."
The older guard next to him comforted him, "It will be better tomorrow. A newcomer came tonight, and we have to suffer with him as well."
"Will it be colder when new people come? Is there such a saying?"
"You don't look like you understand anything at all... You've never been to the Demon Prison before?"
The new guard rubbed his head and said, "I am a disciple of Medicine King Valley. If I hadn't lost the bet, I would have been on duty at the Witch Pharmacy under Vice Dean Tong this year."
"No wonder. You missed a great opportunity..." the older guard sighed. "I don't have such good luck as you. I came from a branch of the unknown wild witch clan, and on my first day in the academy, I ended up in this prison... I've been here for about four or five years, I guess."
"Only four or five years?"
"Hey, kid. Haven't you noticed that wizards are all very young? In this huge academy, there are hardly any wizards my age... By the way, the new guy who became famous this year is not bad. But how many years can he live freely? In the wizarding profession..."
The sound of chains shaking startled the older guard. Thinking of the omnipresent system floating above the academy, he quickly changed the subject, "The new guy who came tonight has committed a serious crime. Did you know that?"
The young guard shook his head and said honestly he didn't know.
The older guard raised his hand and pointed, half of his finger disappeared in the black mist that filled the corridor. "These cells were all specially cursed by the previous dean. They don't deal with ghosts, but only with people."
"People?" The little guard was startled.
"Yes, people, people who broke taboos, defected wizards..." The faint words followed the flowing black fog all the way westward and soon floated to the end, which was a room with the most ice crystals and was bitterly cold.
The young man tied to the elevated platform was covered in blood and lay weak and motionless.
On his head was an ugly, wound-covered ghost head.
