Chapter 168: Unsettling Things (Explosive update! Second update!)

Demon Hunting Academy, cafeteria.

This place, which used to be bustling with people, has become a little deserted in recent days.

Many students seemed to have left the academy and were no longer in the academy, causing the cafeteria to become a little deserted.

There are quite a few tables empty.

There are quite a few empty seats.

Many students were in a hurry to eat, as if they had something important to do later.

There were also quite a few students chatting animatedly while eating, seemingly discussing some hot topic.

In this situation, the appearance of three girls made the deserted cafeteria instantly become lively.

"Xiaoxuemei An! Over here!"

"Come! Let me hug you!"

"I haven't seen you for a while, you've become even cuter!"

"My goddess schoolmate, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

Many senior students greeted enthusiastically towards one of the girls who walked into the cafeteria.

There seemed to be a boy's evil-minded cry in the middle, but less than two seconds after the cry appeared, the owner of the voice seemed to disappear, and no one knew where he was taken to be humanely destroyed.

“Ahahaha”

An Zijin gave a dry laugh. She seemed unable to get used to the usual enthusiasm of her senior classmates.

On the contrary, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei next to them looked as if it was a matter of course. They did not feel unwilling to be used as foils at all. They even felt proud of it. They held their heads high and looked smug.

The three of them responded to the greetings of the seniors and basked in the admiring gazes of the boys. They went to get their food first and then found a corner to sit down.

“It feels so deserted.”

Jiang Wanyu found a seat easily and put down her plate, expressing her feelings like this.

"Yeah." Yao Beibei nodded and said, "It seems like there are fewer people."

"No way." Jiang Wanyu picked up the fork and said leisurely, "The college's top management has assigned us a lot of tasks recently. Everyone is probably doing them."

"Really?" Yao Beibei asked in confusion, "Why do we feel like we haven't been assigned any tasks?"

Indeed, although there are many seniors in the cafeteria, a careful observation will reveal that the lower grade students still make up the majority, while the higher grade students are much fewer.

Especially among the third and fourth graders, the number is very small, and the largest number is from the first and second graders.

Those students who still have the leisure to chat and discuss are mostly from lower grades.

The same is true for An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei.

An Zijin has some information about this.

"I heard from my senior that the college leaders also assign tasks based on grade." An Zijin said, "Seniors in the senior grades will be assigned more tasks, while those of us in the junior grades will be assigned fewer tasks, especially those of us in the freshman year."

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei suddenly understood.

“No wonder.”

Yao Beibei hummed softly.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Jiang Wanyu said as if it had nothing to do with her: "How long have we been in school for the first grade? We haven't had much training and we've already been on the battlefield. If we are still asked to go on such a tedious mission, it would only harm us."

The college certainly doesn't want first-year students to die before they grow up.

Previously it was because of the war and there was really no other way. Now that it is just an assignment, of course they let the more experienced and better trained seniors take the burden, while the younger students will have relatively less pressure and risk to give them time to grow.

Based on this consideration, even in this special period, the workload for lower grade students is not heavy at all. Compared with higher grade students, they can be considered to be relatively relaxed.

Especially as a freshman this year, it can be said that it is easy.

Therefore, An Zijin and the other two could come to the cafeteria to eat leisurely like this.

When the three of them get together, it is inevitable that they will talk about their former teammates.

"I wonder how the seniors are doing now." Jiang Wanyu was the first to mention this matter, and asked, "Did they also go on a mission?"

"It seems like we haven't seen the seniors for a while." Yao Beibei couldn't help but mention it.

After they mentioned this, they both turned their heads and looked at An Zijin.

"???"

An Zijin was just picking up the soup spoon and preparing to take a sip of soup, but was suddenly looked at by Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei, and was stunned on the spot.

"What's wrong?" An Zijin asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei looked at each other.

"No." Jiang Wanyu said tactfully: "Since we are talking about the whereabouts of the seniors, then Zijin, you should be the one who knows the most among us, right?"

Yao Beibei nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

“Why do I know the most?”

An Zijin was stunned.

But Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei were even more shocked than her.

"Don't you know?" Jiang Wanyu said bluntly: "This doesn't make sense."

"Yeah." Yao Beibei even said, "It's impossible for Xiao Zijin not to know the whereabouts of Senior Su Ming."

Such words made An Zijin dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by that?" An Zijin said angrily, "Do I have to know Brother Su Ming's whereabouts at all times?"

In response to An Zijin's question, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei only responded with one sentence.

““Isn’t it?”

The two spoke in unison.

"Of course!" An Zijin's face changed, and she smiled happily, "After all, he is my brother Su Ming. I must always know his actions. Otherwise, how can I be considered a qualified fiancée?"

No, no, no, he never said you were his fiancée, right?

Even if she was my fiancée, she wouldn't do this.

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei really wanted to say this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. They could only look at An Zijin with a strange expression and at the same time sympathize with Su Ming.

In the past, the two of them were somewhat envious of Su Ming, envious of him for being favored by An Zijin and being valued by An Zijin.

Now, the two of them have been wondering whether it is fortunate or unfortunate to be targeted by such a Zijin (Little Zijin).

Of course, this cannot be said out loud.

"So what are the seniors doing now?"

"Why haven't I seen it recently?"

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei could only get back to the topic.

Both of them knew very well that since An Zijin knew Su Ming's whereabouts very well, then as Su Ming's roommate, An Zijin should also know something about Lei Hao and Ye Bai's affairs.

As expected, "Senior Lei Hao has been training himself recently. Besides going on missions, he has been using the contribution points he earned during the Huaming Campaign to improve his strength. The reason we didn't see him was because he went to the suburbs to train when he didn't apply for a training room."

"Senior Ye Bai is also working hard to study offensive spiritual arts. I heard that he is so dedicated that he almost forgets to eat and sleep. He often goes to ask senior students in the Warlock Department for advice. For this reason, he goes on missions with the senior students, audits their classes, and does internships."

"As for Brother Su Ming."

When talking about Su Ming, An Zijin looked a little worried.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei hurriedly asked.

"Nothing." An Zijin puffed up her cheeks and said, "It's just that Brother Su Ming has been studying something lately, forgetting to eat and sleep. He either locks himself in the training room or in the dormitory. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Really?" Jiang Wanyu tilted her head and asked in confusion, "But don't you often go to Senior Su Ming's dormitory?"

Still can't see it like this?

"Sometimes we can't see each other!" An Zijin immediately said confidently, "Like this time, I haven't seen Brother Su Ming for four hours. It's been a long time!"

Jiang Wanyu: “￣へ￣”

Yao Beibei: “⊙(◇)?”

Neither of them wanted to talk anymore, let alone complain.

So, the topic was uncovered.

"It turns out that Senior Su Ming has also been working hard to improve himself recently."

Jiang Wanyu seemed to be thinking about something.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

"It seems that since the war, everyone has become more hardworking than before."

Yao Beibei said in a low voice.

The occurrence of the Huaming Battle did make many people realize their own lack of strength.

Isn't it the same for An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei?

They have also been working hard to improve themselves recently.

However, they originally thought that they had worked very hard, but now they realize that compared to Su Ming and the other two, their efforts were nothing.

"That's right."

At this time, Jiang Wanyu seemed to remember something and looked at An Zijin and Yao Beibei.

"Have you noticed that Longyao City has been particularly restless recently?"

Jiang Wanyu's sudden words made An Zijin and Yao Beibei stunned.

"Particularly restless?"

An Zijin didn't quite understand what Jiang Wanyu meant.

"Hasn't it been very uneasy recently?"

Yao Beibei expressed weakly.

The unrest in Longyao City is not big news, right? There are so many people who escaped from the Huaming Campaign, and everyone is organizing a crusade. Even the students in the academy have become so busy. Naturally, Longyao City is not peaceful.

However, Jiang Wanyu was not referring to this incident.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Jiang Wanyu shook her head and said, "Haven't you noticed that there have been more reports of strange things recently?"

The strange things that Jiang Wanyu was referring to were some weird events that had not yet been confirmed.

For example, there are reports that residents in a certain area suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.

For example, some things that were reported in a prominent and vivid manner suddenly disappeared without a trace.

For example, someone once said in an interview that he saw some suspicious people moving around.

Things like this that are ambiguous or start well but end badly are what Jiang Wanyu refers to as strange things.

An Zijin and Yao Beibei didn't think there was anything strange about it.

"In Longyao City now, phantom demons may appear anywhere, so it is normal for some strange things to happen, right?"

An Zijin thinks so.

If some residents suddenly disappear and their whereabouts are unknown, it is possible that they have been abducted by the phantom demon and become its blood food.

Some reports that have no follow-up may involve some confidential information and are ultimately not allowed to be followed up.

If someone sees a suspicious person, maybe it is a team of professionals who are secretly investigating the whereabouts of the phantom demon?

There's nothing strange about this.

"Is that really the case?"

Jiang Wanyu, however, looked like she couldn't let it go.

"What happened?" An Zijin blinked and asked, "Did you find something?"

"That's not the case." Jiang Wanyu crossed her arms and said hesitantly, "It's just that I've been seeing this kind of weird stuff on my phone lately, and it gives me a feeling that something bad is about to happen."

The one who agreed with Jiang Wanyu's idea was not An Zijin, but Yao Beibei.

"After hearing what you said, I do feel a little uneasy."

Yao Beibei murmured.

"You think so too, right?"

Jiang Wanyu cheered up.

An Zijin didn't understand, but didn't Jiang Wanyu understand? With Yao Beibei's outstanding sixth sense, if even she felt something was wrong, then it was very likely that something was really wrong.

Yao Beibei's intuition in this regard has always been very accurate.

On the contrary, An Zijin didn't quite understand it.

"If there is any unrest, it's probably because of the unrest around you, right?" An Zijin said to Jiang Wanyu, "Aren't there many seniors in the professional circle who have been contacting you, intending to buy alchemical weapons from you?"

"This..." Jiang Wanyu was speechless.

There have been a lot of things happening around Jiang Wanyu in recent times.

Because Jiang Wanyu used the alchemical weapon, the news that she, a first-year freshman, actually possessed a precious alchemical weapon has now spread like wildfire.

Thanks to this, many senior students and even professionals in the professional circle contacted Jiang Wanyu through various means and asked Jiang Wanyu to transfer the alchemical weapons to them.

Among them were even some senior professionals who promised Jiang Wanyu a lot of benefits.

In addition, some people used coercion, some used bribery, and some simply threatened and scolded Jiang Wanyu in person, claiming that it was a sheer waste for a freshman like Jiang Wanyu to use alchemical weapons, and that it would be better to transfer the alchemical weapons to those who could make more contributions so that they could do more for humanity. They used the so-called national justice to morally blackmail Jiang Wanyu.

Jiang Wanyu was extremely annoyed by this.

If she had not been in the academy recently and had not been protected by the academy, perhaps some villains would have targeted her and attacked her.

This is what is truly unsettling.

"You should think about how to solve this problem, Wanyu." An Zijin said worriedly, "I'm worried that someone will use some bad means to you."

After hearing what An Zijin said, Yao Beibei became a little worried.

"Why don't you send the alchemical weapons back home, Wanyu."

Yao Beibei gave suggestions with great concern.

"Oh, that's not necessary." Jiang Wanyu waved her hand and said, "I'll be more careful, but there's no need to send the alchemical weapons back."

Realizing that she was not strong enough, how could Jiang Wanyu give away the powerful alchemical weapon? She still needed the alchemical weapon to protect An Zijin.

Seeing that An Zijin and Yao Beibei wanted to say something, Jiang Wanyu quickly changed the subject.

"Why don't we go see how Senior Su Ming is doing?"

In one sentence, he successfully diverted the attention of An Zijin and Yao Beibei.
