Chapter 52
Cen Xun edited the message and sent it out, and then the new phone in Wu Sa's pocket rang.
Wusa took out his phone, unlocked the screen clumsily, and saw new messages popping up in the work group.
Dean Tong was the first to respond: "I saw it. Besides the dead one, there are 13 others. They were all dug out from underground."
Dean Tong: [Picture]
Dean Tong: [These are the real-time enemy locations I've marked. Come on, E's team, attack with all your might!]
Principal Cen: [No need, they are all dead.]
Dean Tong: [No way, so fast? ? ]
Secretary Wu: [I just opened 13 mirror channels, and the principal stabbed all the ants to death. Whoosh, of course it was fast.]
Dean Tong:
Dean Tong: [6]
Dean Li: [I just stood up and didn’t even leave the door]
President Shi: [+1]
Dean of the Academic Affairs Office: [Huh? What happened? I just saw the news that the intruder died?]
Principal Cen: [Duoduo, are these red ants sent by the "Queen Ant" you mentioned earlier?]
Dean Tong: [Yeah! I guess it saw our rankings rising so quickly and had evil intentions. How dare it set its sights on us, you stinky ant? Brother, let's go and destroy it!]
Principal Cen: [I've told you so many times, you have to call me Principal when you're out there.]
Dean Tong: [I'm sorry I called you that by mistake, brother, you will definitely forgive me, right? QAQ]
Principal Cen: [Please keep an eye out. Come to the principal's office later.]
Principal Cen: [I will formulate new rules to increase ground defenses to prevent other spies from invading. All faculty and staff, please take note. We must strengthen our defenses from now on.]
Director of Security Department: [Received]
President Shi: [Received]
Director of the Investment Promotion Office: [Received]
The number of new messages quickly accumulated to 99+. Cen Xun put his phone back in his pocket and continued walking towards the staff cafeteria.
Wusa hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask, "Principal, why are there spies? Are they trying to steal something from our school?"
Cen Xun glanced at him and said, "It's not just about stealing things. Their real purpose is to destroy my Ghost Domain from the inside so that the Ant Queen can easily swallow up Nightmare University."
"The law of the jungle is the law of survival for monsters. Once they are targeted by other monsters, these kinds of fights, both open and covert, are inevitable."
Although it was the first time he encountered such a situation, Cen Xun seemed quite calm and was even in the mood to ask the chef to make a dessert.
As usual, Wusa asked for some cat food, but this time, Wusa felt that the food had no taste.
Seeing the cat's serious expression, Cen Xun asked, "Is tonight's cat food not to your liking?"
Wusa shook his head and said honestly, "I was just thinking, this world is so dangerous."
After leaving Jingdu Business District and breaking away from Qin Xiu's protection, Wusa realized that the world was so big and full of bad guys who were lurking around.
If you don't have strong strength, you will become food for other monsters.
What a cruel reality.
So the cat felt sad. The cat was afraid that Qin Xiu would one day be defeated by a more powerful monster.
The scene of Qin Xiu being eaten by the monster was still vivid in Wusa's mind. He was absent-minded for a while, feeling depressed, and even forgot to eat his favorite cat food.
Cen Xun scooped up a spoonful of cream and slowly put it into his mouth. "Yes, this world is so dangerous. So you see, I have no choice but to become so evil. If I weren't evil, how could I fight against so many monsters and protect my followers?"
Ursa nodded with a heavy heart, "Yes! I'm beginning to understand you, Principal."
Cen Xun calmly continued to brainwash the cat: "Going it alone is not an option. In today's world, only teamwork can win the ultimate victory."
The cat was a little dazed and remained quiet for a long time.
Cen Xun smiled slightly, gently wiped the cream off the spoon, and gave the cat time to think alone.
It was not until a voice was heard not far away, bringing Usa back to his senses, that he suddenly realized that he had been in a trance for a long time.
In order to make the situation less awkward, Wusa hurriedly grabbed the spoon and said, "Principal, can I ask a question?"
"ask."
"Is Dean Tong really your biological brother?" Wu Sa was puzzled: "Because you don't look alike at all."
"That depends on how you define 'brother,'" Cen Xun said thoughtfully. "Monsters don't have the concept of bloodline. From the perspective of the source of power, we are indeed brothers."
Wusa's eyes became even more confused: "The source of power?"
Cen Xun: "Well, my eight other siblings and I all met in the same mountain village. We participated in the same test from the evil god. Although I can't remember the content of the test, after we emerged from it, we all had a vague intuition that we came from the same source, so we tacitly accepted this relationship."
Wusa was confused and scooped a mouthful of cat food into his mouth. "Then, Principal, where are your other seven brothers and sisters now? Have they also become powerful monsters?"
"Nine out of ten."
Wusa's eyes lit up: "Then can we invite them to be deans of Nightmare University?"
Cen Xun looked at him with a smile: "Wusa, you have forgotten again, what is the law of survival among the monsters?"
Wusa was stunned for a moment: "The strong prey on the weak."
"Tong Ming is an exception. I've known him for many years and know him well, so I invited him." Cen Xun said nonchalantly, "But I'm not so sure about what others are thinking right now."
"People's hearts are hidden. If you want to be invincible, you must assume the greatest malice towards others."
Cen Xun held his chin and looked at him: "Wusa, do you understand?"
Wusa nodded thoughtfully, "I understand. If you want to defeat the bad guys, you have to fight them with your own badness. If you don't want to be deceived, you have to figure out the purpose and motives of others approaching you."
"Yes, that's it."
Cen Xun said slowly: "Wusa, as someone close to me, you still have a lot to learn."
That night, Wusa returned to the room assigned to him, sat on the unfamiliar mattress, and was in a daze for a long time.
The sky outside the window had already darkened completely, and the campus was completely silent. Occasionally, one or two screams from players could be heard, but it would soon become quiet again.
This is a completely unfamiliar and strange place. There is no Qin Xiu and no familiar scenery.
The feeling of loneliness was like a cold wind seeping in through the window, enveloping him from all sides, leaving no escape.
Wusa couldn't help but wonder, what is Qin Xiu doing now?
Will Qin Xiu come to Nightmare University to look for me?
Wusa didn’t know whether Qin Xiu would come, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t come. Cats were used to waiting, and they could wait no matter how long it took.
Wusa took out a glass jar and dropped a piece of cat food into it. Fifty years would be 18,250 days. When he saw Qin Xiu again, he would show him the jar, now filled to the brim, and tell him that Wusa loved him as much as the cat food.
Resting his chin on his arm, Wusa tilted his head to look at the cat food in the jar, thinking dejectedly that he was such a spineless cat. On the first day of 18250 days, he started thinking about Qin Xiu.
Exhaling, Wusa shook his head, throwing Qin Xiu out of his mind, sat up straight again, opened the information and began to read it.
In order to better perform the work of school secretary, he must be more familiar with the faculty members and the class conditions of each college and major.
A brand new day begins with a simple working life.
Early in the morning, Wusa arrived at the principal's office and began to clean diligently with cleaning tools in hand. In the past, when Qin Xiu went out to work and Wusa was left at home as a kitten, Wusa had seen how the aunt at home cleaned, so now he was very adept at doing these things.
He vacuumed the carpet, cleaned the windows, and sorted the papers on his desk, putting them away in their proper places.
During this time, Usa found a panda ceramic cup on the desk. The cute style was obviously out of tune with the painting style of the entire office. Usa looked at the cup in confusion for a while and found that it was actually just an ordinary cup.
Soon, Usa found two black and white bird feathers in the pen holder. The down feathers at the tail end hung down, swaying lightly in the wind, which was very eye-catching. Usa looked at it and became even more confused.
The colors of these two bird feathers were so iconic that Wusa immediately remembered the "atheist" who destroyed the port with a few swords. Why did the principal keep them on the table when they were clearly enemy bird feathers? Wasn't it an eyesore? Why didn't he just throw them away?
Cats don't understand, but respect.
Wusa shook his head. After finishing the cleaning, the next step was to wait for the principal to arrive and assign him tasks.
But after waiting for a long time, it was already nine o'clock and there was still no movement at the door. Usa fell into silence.
He took out his phone and privately chatted with Tong Ming, pressing the voice-to-text button: "Dean Tong, what time does the principal usually go to work?"
Beaten Duoduo: [My brother likes to sleep in, usually waking up between 10 and 11. Remember not to disturb him unless necessary, as he gets grumpy and can be quite scary when he gets angry.]
Beaten Duoduo: [You go play, my brother is still sleeping at this time (covering his mouth and laughing)]
Wusa looked at Tong Ming's reply and slowly cracked.
The principal actually sleeps in?
As if he had guessed the devastation in Secretary Cat's heart, Tong Ming sent a few more messages to Wu Sa.
Beaten Duoduo: [Guess why he can sleep in? It’s because we, the oxen and horses, carry the burden for him (covering mouth and laughing)]
Beaten Duoduo: [The only person who didn't get beaten after waking up my brother was his ex-husband. Sigh, what's the difference between my brother and Sleeping Beauty? He still needs a kiss from the prince to wake up~]
Wusa: [Dean Tong, I finally understand why your nickname is "Beijing Duoduo."]
Wusa thought seriously that the reason why Dean Tong was not beaten to death by the principal despite his despicable appearance was definitely because of their deep brotherly love.
But after a moment of hesitation, Usa couldn't help but send a message.
Ursa: [Eh, does the principal have an ex-husband? ]
Usa: [Suspicious cat head.jpg]
Beaten Duoduo: [Hey, haven't you seen him? That birdman! He has a pretty face and he even stole my brother's soul.]
Usa: [Shocked cat head.jpg]
Ursa: [Hmm? Isn't that person an enemy?]
Usa: [How could he be my ex-husband? I don't believe it!]
Get Beaten a Lot: [For details, see the gossip section of previous issues of the Nightmare Campus Newspaper. If you don't have the points to buy it, just go downstairs and borrow a copy from any faculty member.]
After a long while, Wusa replied angrily: [This is really too much! How could he deceive the principal's feelings!]
Beaten Duoduo: [That's right! Where is morality! Where is the bottom line!]
Beaten Duoduo: [So, Wusa, are you and Qin Xiu also in a relationship?! ]
Wusa looked at the message, and a question mark slowly appeared in his head: "?"
How did the topic suddenly jump here?
Wusa: [Of course not, I am Qin Xiu's cat, not his lover.]
Beaten Duoduo: [Really? I see he protects you like he protects his wife. There's no way you two don't have a relationship~]
Wusa didn't know why, but her face suddenly turned red. She hurriedly sent a voice message: [We have a normal human-cat relationship. I'm not your wife!]
Beaten Duoduo: [You're anxious, you're anxious! Forget it, I won't say anything more. A master is a master. A master cannot become a husband. If a master becomes a husband, you can no longer get along with Qin Xiu like usual. So Qin Xiu can only be a husband. Oh no, I mean, a husband can only be Qin Xiu. Sorry, I mean Qin Xiu.]
Wusa was so angry that he turned off the screen of his phone and put it in his pocket.
Dean Tong is so annoying!
Qin Xiu is of course his old fault, Master! Qin Xiu is his master, what nonsense is Dean Tong talking about?
Usa was furious, embarrassed and awkward, and just wanted to find a place to hide, so he turned back into his cow cat form and hid under the table.
The principal's office was so quiet that Usa fell asleep without realizing it until he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
Cen Xun walked in and was about to pull out a chair when he caught sight of the cow cat under the table. He said quietly, "If you don't wear clothes to work, twenty yuan will be deducted from your salary."
Wusa turned over in a daze and stood up in a panic. Cen Xun looked at it carefully for a while, raised an eyebrow and announced its other crime: "Sleeping on the job, another twenty yuan will be deducted from your salary."
Usa: ""
Cen Xun pulled out a chair and sat down. He bent down and picked up the silly cow cat. He stroked the black cat's head and pinched its white gloved paws.
Pinch it, it blooms, pinch it again, it continues to bloom.
Wusa purred subconsciously, but soon, as if he had thought of something, he subconsciously pressed his claws against Cen Xun's hand and asked blankly, "Principal, you asked me to be your secretary. Are you really just using me as a substitute?"
Cen Xun: “?”
Cen Xun paused as he petted the cat: "What substitute?"
Wusa said heartbrokenly: "Dean Tong said in the newspaper that your favorite animal is the panda, and my fur color also happens to be black and white."
"Don't listen to Tong Ming's nonsense," Cen Xun said calmly, "They're all bad reviews. The principal certainly values you, so he chose you as his secretary."
Wusa was skeptical: "Really?"
Cen Xun's expression was calm: "Of course it's true. Besides, isn't a panda a cat?"
While Wu Sa was stunned, Cen Xun continued to stroke the cat's head as if nothing had happened, and bit back, "You actually doubted the principal's good intentions. I'll deduct another twenty from your salary."
Wusa panicked and said, "I won't doubt it anymore. Please don't deduct my salary QAQ."
Cen Xun bullied the kitten for a bit, then reluctantly said, "Okay, considering it's your first offense, I won't deduct the sixty points."
Ursa breathed a sigh of relief and purred happily.
While petting the cat, Cen Xun moved some things on the table to make an empty space. Wu Sa saw this and asked in confusion, "Principal, are you going to put something there?"
"Put a computer there," Cen Xun said, sounding surprisingly serious. "You can play games when you're bored."
Usa: “?”
A question mark appeared on the cat's head again.
How can there be a principal who sleeps in and slacks off?
Qin Xiu clearly has to go to work at 8 o'clock every day and work overtime at night.
Wusa, who had just developed a little ambition, had his heart broken at this moment.
Cen Xun said slowly, "If you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die. I took over Nightmare University, not to go to work on time every day and be a weirdo."
"Ah, I want to drink pearl milk tea," Cen Xun naturally instructed Wusa: "Secretary Cat, please go to the faculty cafeteria and buy me a cup."
What else could Wusa say? He honestly opened the mirror passage and came back with a cup of pearl milk tea a while later. Someone came in soon to install the computer. Wusa had to go out with the employees of the Investment Promotion Office to post recruitment advertisements today, so he left before the computer was installed.
After the installation was completed, Cen Xun turned on the computer. While waiting for the screen to light up, Cen Xun took a sip of pearls, looked at the dark screen, and smiled slightly.
The newly installed computer came with several downloaded games. Cen Xun casually clicked on one and played for a while, but he was not interested. It was not until near noon that Cen Xun suddenly felt that a monster had broken into Nightmare University, and he finally perked up.
He stood up and stood in front of the French window, looking at the rain of gold coins falling out of nowhere on the campus, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Finally."
