Monster Hunting High School

"What a nightmare!"

Zheng Qing came back to his senses from the darkness. When he opened his eyes, he happened to hear Fatty Xin's complaining words. He couldn't help but mutter: "...remove the word 'simply'...it's a nightmare." !”

Perhaps because the projection retained a bit of Lao Yao's bad taste, when the scented duck helped everyone fall asleep, his reminder was a little late.

Then Zheng Qing, who closed his eyes, felt as if he had fallen off a cliff.

The endless void under his feet was surrounded by darkness, and the sound of wind was blowing rapidly in his ears. The boy initially thought it was just a simple sound of wind, but soon, a shining light ball of different light and dark colors appeared beside him, and he caught a glimpse of it with his peripheral vision. Winged creatures, laughing maniacally, passed by. Most of the wind noise was caused by the laughter of those creatures and the sound of their wings flapping.

The indescribable darkness was hidden in the grotesque surroundings, giving the boy a strong feeling that he would fall into the mouth of some dark beast at the next moment.

Until the shining balls of light beside him were pulled by the darkness, slowly lengthened, and formed a luminous crack.

The boy fell into the crack.

When he opened his eyes, he had already arrived in the dreamland.

The young public-funded students couldn't wait to share their "nightmares" with their peers in an attempt to find resonance. Unfortunately, not everyone experienced the terrible fall.

"Didn't you see that duck?" Zhang Jixin looked at Zheng Qing and Fatty Xin strangely.

"What duck," the fat wizard scratched his head: "The one on the podium?"

"I didn't see it." Zheng Qing shook his head.

Xiao Xiao interrupted the discussion between the three of them: "If you run your magic power to resist when entering the dreamland, the world will be aware of this 'invasion' behavior... Although you will eventually reach the dreamland due to the lack of world barrier, but In this process, it is inevitable to feel what is called the "malice of the world."

"What about those who don't have magic power to resist?" Zheng Qing was a little curious.

"You will see that scented duck swiveling its butt and walking in front of you," the red-faced wizard said with a smile: "Then just follow it downstairs... You have to walk about one hundred and eighty steps, and then open a door. , that’s it.”

He pointed around.

Several young wizards are located in an oval-shaped lounge. In front of it is a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, you can see the dusty hunting ground outside, the stands in the distance, and the color blocks on the stands. Even if no sound can be heard among the mottled crowd, the noisy colors in the stands seem to make people feel the enthusiasm.

"The finer the control over magic power and the more advanced the magic skills, the fewer steps you have to walk." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and added: "I just counted, there are ninety-six steps in total..."

Squeak.

There was a sound of pushing the door behind me.

Before Zheng Qing turned around, he heard Li Meng's chirping voice: "Where's the duck? Where's that duck? It was running in front of me just now... Why did it disappear when I opened the door?"

The wizard turned back and ignored the little witch who was looking for ducks. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yu: "How many steps did you take when you just went downstairs?"

The witch thought for a moment: "Seventy steps to light sleep and seventeen steps to deep sleep."

"Eighty-seven." Zheng Qing grinned and looked at Xiao Xiao and Zhang Jixin with a regretful expression on his face: "If I take the steps, the number should be about the same..."

Although he didn't understand what the 'light sleep steps' and the 'deep sleep steps' were, it didn't affect the simple conclusion he came to after comparing the numbers.

"What does the steps that the monitor takes have to do with you?" The red-faced wizard rolled his eyes angrily.

The doctor also sneered: "A person who hasn't even seen the steps has the nerve to laugh at others?"

boom!

The door of the lounge was violently pushed open, and a short witch wearing a yellow robe and braided braids poked her head in and said, "Apologies? Have all the people to apologize arrived? There are still three minutes left, it's your turn. Coming on stage..."

"It's all here!" The voice of the vampire werewolf gentleman sounded from behind the puppet man, and then, two blue figures squeezed into the lounge one after the other.

It was Dylan and the Bluebird.

"Sorry," Mr. Vampire Werewolf explained quickly: "The Rubik's Cube got stuck while rotating today, which caused us to get a little lost..."

Bluebird remained as quiet as ever.

Zheng Qing looked over their shoulders and saw neither the undulating steps nor the endless void, but a deep corridor.

"As long as it's all ready."

Before the braided witch retracted her head, she gave a final reminder: "It's time for you to enter the venue soon. Just enter in a proper manner, and don't make any fancy things that affect the order..."

"How did you get here?"

Zheng Qing glanced at the puppet man's leaving figure and stopped paying attention. Instead, he paid attention to what Dylan just said: "What does it mean to be 'a little lost'? Can you get lost if you follow a duck?"

"Duck? What duck?" The vampire werewolf looked confused.

"Each college has a different way of entering the dreamland."

The apologetic fortune teller explained simply while adjusting his belt: "The Starry Sky Rubik's Cube originally has the ability to connect to different dimensions... They only need to substitute the coordinates of the dreamland into the dimensional formation when the Rubik's Cube rotates. To find the correct 'door'... you can usually find it by circling the Rubik's Cube a few times... I guess Dylan made the wrong coordinates when calculating, that's why he was late."

"Why can't it be that the Rubik's Cube is malfunctioning?" Mr. Vampire Werewolf asked with a smile.

The doctor glanced at him and said calmly: "If the Rubik's Cube malfunctions, what we should see now are two incomplete remains."

"It's not necessarily the remains," Jiang Yu added with great interest: "This is a dreamland after all. It's very likely that they are two beings with incomplete bodies, but they can still communicate with us normally..."

Seeing that the topic was developing into a weird and inexplicable horror story, at this moment, the door of the lounge was pushed open again, making the young public-funded student heave a huge sigh of relief.

"It's here, it's your time!" The braided witch poked her head out again, her tone was very urgent: "Follow me in order...just line up!"

As the captain of the Exoneration, Zheng Qing undoubtedly needs to be the first.

Before going out, he heard Jiang Yu warning Li Meng: "Stay in the lounge and don't run around! After Lin Guo arrives, you two can go to the stage together...if you're bored."

Outside the door was a deep corridor, but after walking a few steps, the braided witch led the hunting team into a small door. When the door was opened, strong wind, dust, scorching sun and waves of enthusiasm rushed in, and the noise instantly drowned the ears of the young hunters.

On the rostrum, the puppet's sharp and harsh voice was particularly clear in this bustling atmosphere:

"Now we invite the seventh place in the 2009 Campus Cup selection stage - the Forgiveness Hunter Team - to enter! Everyone is welcome!!"
