Chapter 38 Report 04
"Nothing. I got it mixed up."
He quickly recovered and Chen Chuan and the other man were no longer frightened.
On the way back, he asked a few more times whenever he had the chance. He didn't mean to scare them, but he used the reminiscent sentence structure of "You were like this and like that in Flatiron Town back then, and I was like this and like that." Chen Chuan thought he was reminiscing as soon as he came out of the dungeon.
The memories on both sides gradually corresponded, and errors and omissions occurred.
Jiang Yuelu discovered that Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan did remember everything about Iron Town.
They remembered Leng Jing and Lin Shenyin, all their teammates, and also remembered how the three questions appeared and how they were solved.
Just like driving navigation, the routes they took to reach their destination were basically the same, but they began to diverge at several key forks in the road.
In Chen Chuan's memory, the bosses of Iron Town were Lord and Madam Zhu, and they had no memory of the portrait. In other words, everything related to the owner of the portrait was erased. The key point was that it was erased very cleverly, and the two people did not realize that someone had tampered with their memories.
Looking at Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan like this, Jiang Yuelu felt a chill.
He is still useful now, so should we show some mercy and let him remember it alone?
If he hinders the progress of the plan, should his memory be erased silently?
This is just a memory. If one day his life becomes a stumbling block, will the people in the academy erase him silently?
Seeing that he was absent-minded, Chen Chuan guessed that the vice president must have said something that made him unhappy.
So I tried every way to cheer him up, "Brother Lu, you haven't been to the dormitory yet, right?"
Jiang Yuelu was stunned. "Dormitory?"
Seeing that he had successfully diverted his attention, Chen Chuan was delighted, "Yes, the dormitory! Oh, you came late and didn't hear me. The system sister said that we can go to the dormitory today."
"I've been to 985 and 211, but I still don't know what a wizard school looks like. Brother Lu, do you think the walls will be covered with talismans or that it will float in the air?"
Jiang Yuelu laughed, "It's not like I'm cultivating immortality."
Then Chen Chuan read him the school guide. Yes, it turned out that the place they just reported was not a college. The huge white jade pavilion with a fairy-like aura seemed to be just an office. The Education Association, the Certificate Office, the Teachers' Committee... were all there, as well as some non-governmental organizations and the Student Union.
Due to its special nature, it is said that the wizarding academy can only be set up in a secluded place.
Jiang Yuelu thought, could it be in the deep mountains and forests?
He followed the method demonstrated by Chen Chuan, found a shadowless place under the tree, flipped the student card, and something similar to a teleportation array was opened. Just like reporting into the stele, he could reach a place thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
When he opened his eyes again, he could not see Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan. He looked up and found that they had been sent directly to his dormitory.
His name was hung on the dormitory door, and there was also a photo, which was so blurry and unclear that he didn't know when it was taken secretly. He was used to the college's casual invasion of privacy, and just as he was about to go in to rest, he kicked a soft black thing.
The black thing even cried out, "Ouch my butt!"
Jiang Yuelu was alert: "Who?"
Is it a ghost?
It was no wonder that he was still having wild thoughts in the wizard academy, because the atmosphere in the dormitory building was very gloomy. The smell of rotten wood and the damp smell of rain filled the air, and it was pitch dark. When he walked around, the wooden boards on the ground creaked. The candles in the shrine in the corridor lit up dimly, and he could see who was lying on the ground.
"Tongmian?"
"It's me." he cried out in pain.
Jiang Yuelu was suspicious: "Does it hurt so much? I didn't use any force."
Tong Mian stood up with the help of the wall, looking very weak, "It has nothing to do with you, I am just in poor health."
Jiang Yuelu became even more suspicious, "Aren't you a doctor?"
Tong Mian said: "Who says doctors have to be in good health? Some people just have poor immunity and their arms and legs are very fragile."
Jiang Yuelu secretly took note of it and planned to stay away from him in the future. He said politely, "Make way, I'll open the door."
Tong Mian felt very touched, "You are so nice, Jiang Yuelu. I will just rest in your dormitory for a while. I have something else to talk to you about."
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "See you later then." After that, the door hit Tong Mian's nose with a "bang". He was stunned for a long time, and slammed the door hard, "Open the door! If you have the ability to get the first place in the exam, you have the ability to open the door!"
The door opened again and Jiang Yuelu had already changed into pajamas.
Tong Mian was stunned: "You change clothes so quickly?"
Jiang Yuelu said impatiently, "Are you okay? If not, I'll turn it off."
"Yes, yes, yes! You are too cruel. You won't even let me in!" Tong Mian wanted to cry but had no tears.
Little did he know that the series of events that happened before had already made Jiang Yuelu identify him as a lackey of the academy. His favorability had dropped significantly.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Tong Mian knew that he had a long way to go to get information from him, so he changed his mind and said, "By the way, you haven't bought anything for school yet, have you?" From the small gap left by the door he propped up, he could see that the dormitory was still in brand new condition.
Jiang Yuelu started thinking.
He would be leaving for his next exam soon, so he didn't need any freshman equipment, but he had to prepare some weapons and protective gear. What was this called in the witchcraft world? Talisman paper, peach wood sword?
Let’s go and take a look first. He only has one A-level item on him right now... By the way, he hasn’t seen what the prop is yet.
"Is there any place to buy things around here?"
Tong Mian nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the whole floor is full of them!"
Jiang Yuelu pondered: "Then it should be able to sell things."
Tong Mian was curious, "What are you going to sell?"
Jiang Yuelu said: "A-level props."
Tong Mian: “…” Did he hear it right?
Jiang Yuelu glanced at him and added, "I haven't seen it yet. I'll sell it if I don't like it after seeing it."
Tong Mian: “…”
What's the point of such a confident smile? Do you think the reason you gave me is reasonable? Or is it outrageous?
-
Tong Mian quickly took him to the place. On the way, he saw how weak the witch doctor was - blood spurted from his forehead when he was scratched by a branch, and his bones broke with a snap when he kicked a stone.
At this time, the importance of doctors was also reflected. Jiang Yuelu watched Tong Mian sew up her head as if nothing had happened, and then reconnected the bones with two clicks, and continued to explain "Fallen Street" to her.
Probably every university has a snack street, and probably every snack street is named Fallen Street.
However, the wizarding academy is an inhuman place and has become more "corrupt".
"When you report, you should look for a place in the sun where your shadow cannot be cast, and when you come to the academy, you should look for a place in the trees where your shadow cannot be cast. We are not looking for shadows, but for Jianmu."
Legend has it that Duguang Wilderness is in the middle of heaven and earth, where a tall tree grows, like a ladder connecting heaven and earth. In ancient times, only wizards were qualified to go up and down the ladder. They listened to the oracles and conveyed the people's feelings, shouldering the responsibility of communicating between heaven and earth. It is said that the bronze sacred tree is a miracle built by ancient ancestors to worship gods.
However, whether it is the sacred tree or the ladder to heaven, they are all abstract concepts.
The wizards scattered in various tribes do not necessarily have to come from far away in all directions. Climbing up and down an endless ladder would be exhausting.
"So there is an unwritten agreement among wizards."
“A place without shadows is a place of communication with gods. The sun has no shadows, the trees have no shadows, the buildings have no shadows… Every place without shadows is a place blessed by gods.”
Tong Mian said mysteriously: "But only Fallen Street sank into the shadows."
Behind him was the entrance to Fallen Street, with a sign that read four words: A Place Without Blessings.
The street was dark inside and bright outside, as if there was an invisible long line at the entrance, dividing the underworld and the human world.
Even though he was now a half-baked wizard, Jiang Yuelu could still feel the cold wind blowing from the depths of the alley, and it didn't smell good.
Jiang Yuelu said coldly: "I thought wizards and demons were irreconcilable, but it turns out they can coexist peacefully."
Tong Mian said: "Wizards are also human beings. They like to see something new and hear something novel. They live like they are great and glorious every day. Everyone is exhausted."
"Besides, the ghosts here are different from those in the examination hall. They have long since turned to good and do not eat or harm people. If you have to say there is something special about them, it is probably because they are very eager to make money. Students come here to hang out after class just for the sake of novelty. If you really want to compare Fallen Street with the Ghost Market, we are not happy about it."
It sounds like there is an even bigger ghost market.
Jiang Yuelu did not ask any more questions. "I just don't like the college, but I won't make things difficult for the hardworking and certified workers."
"Working ghost?"
Tong Mian laughed out loud: "That makes sense!"
The two walked into Fallen Street, and the sky suddenly darkened. The ruins were covered with moss, and vines were singing in the darkness. It looked like a ruined place, and it was hard to believe that anyone would do business here.
But Jiang Yuelu saw students walking in twos and threes in front, and they disappeared from the spot after a while. It seemed that they had found the store they liked.
Tong Mian said indifferently: "We are going to another place, not everyone can enter there."
After saying that, he took out an extremely long match from his pocket, struck a streak on the small shrine on the ground, and a flame suddenly ignited. The ground cracked open with a rumbling sound, and a row of stairs leading downwards appeared in front of him.
Tong Mian made a gesture of invitation: "Welcome to the Eighteenth Shop."
The shops form a building, and the building is filled underground.
This underground building is not made of reinforced concrete. Jiang Yuelu walked in it and saw all kinds of strange shops through the layers of bones - yes, this place is built of bones, it is a real skeleton.
The storefronts were all strange and varied. Some had gauze hanging down like a silken cave. Some had strange blood bubbles bubbling out. Some had long snakes coiled around them, hissing and sticking out their tongues, staring at him intently.
One floor, two floors...going down continuously will give people the illusion of entering hell.
After an unknown amount of time, Tong Mian finally stopped in front of a store.
"This is the pawnshop." Tong Mian couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to sell it?"
Jiang Yuelu hummed: "It's useless."
"What prop is it?"
"A pen."
[The pen is the lifeblood of the examinee]
[A pen can take you to heaven, but it can also take you to hell]
[Are you willing to entrust your fate to this pen? With its help, you will write quickly and be invincible! ]
Tong Mian: “Isn’t this great!”
Jiang Yuelu: "Why should I leave my fate to a pen?"
Tong Mian: “…”
Jiang Yuelu: "You're not going in?"
Tong Mian waved his hand weakly: "Forget it. I can't bear to watch, I'll just wait for you outside."
Jiang Yuelu naturally let him do whatever he wanted.
Compared with other stores, this store is too simple. Its appearance looks very normal and is no different from other stores in the human world.
But in this place, being ordinary is actually weird.
Jiang Yuelu knocked on the door several times, but no one answered, so she turned around to ask.
"Is there really anyone here..."
The ground, which was occupied by people just now, was now filled with cold winds. Looking around, apart from the faint "tick-tick" sound of leaking water, there was no sound of human voice within a radius of ten miles.
In this dark hell, it seemed like he was the only one left.
At this moment, there was a "squeak".
The door that no one answered actually opened by itself.
