Monster Hunting High School

On Friday night, two days ago, Li Meng invited several familiar friends to Qingqiu Mansion to help the little maid named Su Ya collect and organize pumpkins.

Worried that his peers would discover his relationship with Su Shijun, the guilty public-sponsored student tried to use his "eye disease" to avoid work that day, so he flew a paper crane to Professor Yao, pretending that his eyes were uncomfortable.

It's just that Lao Yao was not in school at the time, which caused his plan to fail.

Fortunately, in the end, the young wizard finally took advantage of Lao Yao's reply to leave the classroom early, and then used the transformation potion to escape the disaster.

Now, Professor Yao stood in front of him, bringing up the old things again, which made the wizard feel guilty.

"Oh, that day...it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I had sand in my eyes that day, and I overreacted a little." Zheng Qing blinked and started telling lies, trying to get through: "Later, I used my eyes to I washed my eyes with the medicine and then everything was fine.”

The reason is good and it flows very well. The only mistake was that he seemed to have forgotten that the person standing in front of him was a great wizard.

And he is a senior wizard with profound knowledge in many disciplines such as magic, divination, and treatment.

Although Professor Yao would not casually use magic such as mind reading or legilimens on his students, it did not mean that the old professor could not see the guilty conscience flashing across the face of the young publicly funded student.

Lying in front of Lao Yao is really not a smart move.

The professor held the quill in one hand and pressed it between the documents on the lecture table with the other hand. He stared at the young public-funded student and gradually frowned.

The young wizard who looked straight at him stood uneasy and his heart was pounding. Then the professor slowly said:

"I never remember telling you lies... When you come to First University, you learn the skills of using various magics, you learn how to behave in the world, and you learn how to not lose yourself in the pursuit of truth."

"Instead of learning how to tell lies."

"Remember what I said when school started? After you have been exposed to magic for a long time, you will find that losing your heart is the most terrifying thing in the world. If you lose yourself, then 'you' What's left?"

"It's like walking on a deserted trail, with muddy swamps on both sides of the road. You can't go wrong if you follow this narrow and winding path; but if you want to save trouble along the way, you may want to take two steps on the muddy ground to get closer. It doesn’t matter if it’s a road, it’s inevitable that you’ll get mud on your shoes… In serious cases, you may fall into a puddle or be swallowed by a swamp.”

"There are gains and losses in a thought, and there is great terror in the choice."

"You stand here, don't go back, think it over before you speak."

After that, he ignored Zheng Qing and let him stand beside him in a daze. Then Lao Yao directly removed the shielding barrier, greeted a few students who were standing outside, waiting to ask questions about the exam, and began to explain various key points and difficulties to them in a friendly manner.

The witches sitting in the front row glanced at Zheng Qing curiously, and Li Meng even had the mood to make a face at him; while the companions sitting in the corners of the back row just raised their heads and still stood talking. Seeing that he hadn't come back yet, the wizard at the table lowered his head and whispered something again.

No one realized that Zheng Qing was forced to stand.

He looked more like he was standing next to a professor listening to a troubleshooting lecture.

The young public-funded student stood there, his face turning pale and red, and his mood was like spilled sauce, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, with all five flavors.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that he had become accustomed to telling lies at some point.

From childhood to adulthood, both his family and Mr. Wu have taught Zheng Qing to be honest and down-to-earth. Because the scope of activities at that time was limited and he lived under their noses every day, Zheng Qing always behaved well and behaved well.

But when he went overseas alone and entered a strange wizarding university, the suddenly relaxed living environment and the mentality of wanting to escape or take advantage of difficulties made him unknowingly get into the habit of lying. .

To friends, teachers, classmates, even cats, mice, and parrots, if you think about it carefully, Zheng Qing seems to have told them lies to varying degrees. Some of them were done deliberately, trying to use lies to take a shortcut and achieve his goals; some were restricted by the contract of silence and he couldn't tell the truth; but there were also many that he did unintentionally and did stupid things unknowingly.

This is terrible.

"Don't do evil for small things," "A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest," "A tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest detail," and other sentences like this were circling in his mind repeatedly, mixed with what Lao Yao once said about " The horror of losing his mind made him even more uneasy.

It didn't take long for Lao Yao to lecture the others. However, for Zheng Qing, this short period of time was extremely painful, even more painful than the entire regular meeting tonight.

When the professor turned back and looked at the young public-funded student again, Zheng Qing had already made plans to confess everything to Lao Yao.

But the professor waved his hand and stopped him.

"You still don't understand," he looked at the wizard seriously and shook his head: "I'm not forcing you to confess secrets that you don't want to tell or shouldn't tell. This is unreasonable and not in line with the actual situation."

"Is it true that everything in this world is black and white, and everything except truth is lies? If you are not allowed to tell lies, it does not mean that you must tell the truth whenever and wherever. This is not magic."

"You are no longer a child. You should know what you should do and what you should not do."

Zheng Qing originally felt that he already knew it, but now after hearing what Lao Yao said, he was a little confused again - whether he wanted him to tell lies, tell the truth, or use some magic What about means?

"Then, should I say it or not?" He hesitated and tried to ask: "Is it okay if I don't say it?"

"If you are not going to tell me the truth, then how should you answer me when I asked you the original question?" The professor did not give him an affirmative answer, but continued to ask a question.

Zheng Qing thought for a few seconds.

"Sorry, sir, I don't know about this matter." He looked at Lao Yao sincerely.

Lao Yao nodded with satisfaction, and his expression finally became kinder:

"Evasion is not the answer, but it is better than telling lies after all... Now you are like stepping on the trail with one foot and passing through the swamp with one foot in the air. Where you plan to stay determines how strong the road under your feet is. ”

"Then I'll ask again."

"On Friday, you told Feihe that your eyes were uncomfortable. How are you doing now?"

"It's been taken care of, professor." The young public-funded student replied honestly.
