Σ Academic Lily
第2章。15:00更新第3章。
Called "Target" - Pretending to be a lover relationship, and forcibly walking with it.The whole process was like walking on the edge of a cliff. She didn't even dare to look at the destination of the ship deliberately.
Ling didn't ask Li why she didn't know the end point, probably because she felt that there was something unusual about Li's question.
Ling said, "It's a place called Rossi Maid Academy."
Li was startled.
Why Rossi?
Although it might be possible to reunite with Shi Xuli, such a coincidence gave her a chill down her spine.
"what happened?"
When she came back to her senses, Bell was looking at her with worried eyes from the opposite side.
"You...why are you going there? Don't you want to continue working in the Babel Tower Library?" Li tried to ask in a calm and reproachful tone, concealing her shock just now and the real purpose of the question.
"Oh, actually, I lost the bookmark with my partner... Professor Elise Linna took the initiative to point me out, saying that there might be traces of it here."
Erythrina...!
Li remembered that she had always been helped by her, but at the same time, she always had doubts in her heart.Although difficult problems were solved one after another with her help, Li always had the feeling that she was leading her by the nose.
And now that feeling is more real and stronger than ever before.
Could it be... is this journey still in their calculations?It was because of the calculation that the origami show at the Dimensional Central Port went so smoothly, neither was it expelled, and no one came to pester and question it.
……Wait a moment.
Li suddenly remembered—it wasn't that no one came to ask questions.
She remembered Pip Graham who had called her back.
The audio he yelled was higher than normal, so it should be abnormal.At that time Li once thought that she was really exposed.Because she had just turned around, and the first thing she did when she saw him was to touch his tie.From Li's experience, it was a special habit that he only had when he was on alert.But when he left, he seemed to have let go of his doubts, and even licked his ears.
At that time, Li just made these simple analyzes of his small movements. Looking back now, Graham at the time didn't even know that Li Lawrence might be sent back to the port.Even if Erythrina really had the foresight, she didn't reveal it to others, especially Li's enemies.
Let's hope this chance to get it all back has not slipped away.Li thought so.Then he raised his hand and ordered two blueberry cheesecakes for himself and Miss Ling.
The author has something to say: I got two little red flowers, yeah.
☆、The trap of snack time
Walking to the end of the dark corridor alone, Shi Xu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door with all his courage.
"Please come in."
The head waiter received the half-drunk black tea cup somewhere.
"Today is also very punctual, Shi Xuli. It seems that you are really serious." The foreman said.
"Thank you for the compliment... Please continue to teach me the etiquette of the maid in the living room like yesterday."
Shi Xuli bowed and saluted.
The foreman walked up to Shi Xuli with elegant steps, looked at Shi Xuli once, and then said:
"Actually, you want to get closer to me, let me make an exception and allow you to participate in Rossi's Maid's Day?"
——It was exposed.
The head lady was right.In order to obtain the qualification to participate in the Rossi Maid Festival, Shiori will come to the foreman whenever she has a chance these days, and beg her for guidance.But this is not because Shiori is so eager to learn, but because she heard from others that the foreman is also one of the people who decides the qualifications for the Maid's Day.Shi Xuli thought: Even if I can't find the host to enter the venue for the time being, if I can ask the foreman to forgive me...
"Yes, sorry!"
Shi Xuli hastily saluted again, but her heart was agitated, as if watching the door of Rossi's Maid's Day being slowly closed, and Li's figure gradually faded away.What should I do, if the head lady hates me...
However, the head waitress didn't seem to be angry.
"Wrong leg again, you."
Hearing what she said, Shi Xuli hurriedly lowered her head to look at her legs - she was too nervous just now, and left the leg that should be retreated in front, and the leg that should have been left in front was retreated.This time, Shi Xuli's face turned even redder.
The foreman said:
"I understand that you have a reason to participate in the Maid's Day. So, it's not entirely hypocritical that you want me to train you. Don't be nervous."
The foreman is really an angel!Shi Xuli breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, another basin of cold water:
"...but not today."
"Why?" Shi Xuli couldn't understand.
"Because," the head waiter raised her white lace-gloved hand and pointed lightly at the half-open door, "someone is waiting for you there."
When she said this, a figure hiding outside the door shrank his shoulders nervously.
Shi Xuli saw the frilly skirt.
There is a maid outside the door... Who could it be?who came for me...
The doubts in Shi Xuli's heart gradually turned into expectations.
"Students outside, please come in." The foreman said.
Student... Is that person also a student here?
Hearing what the foreman said, the man moved his steps, but still turned his back to the direction of the door.
The clean and fluffy skirt, the full bow, the long black hair with the Katyusha headband...
Such beautiful long hair, just like Li.
Wait a minute...ears?
On both sides of the hair band are indeed a pair of black ears.Shi Xuli suddenly had an ominous premonition.At the same time, the maid turned around...
"wildcat?!"
Shi Xuli forgot etiquette in an instant and screamed out.
That's right, the one standing in front of her is indeed the genuine Miss Wildcat.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Xuli said angrily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Mao's eye circles suddenly turned red:
"Why do you talk to me in such a tone... I, I just want to ask you to go back and comment on the dim sum I just made..."
That guy actually whimpered!
Shi Xuli was stunned for a moment.Why did you suddenly start showing affection to me... Does that guy with a bad personality also have a gentle side?
"In the past few days," Ye Mao's tears rolled in his eyes, "you come to the head lady after class, and you don't talk to me... Last time it was my fault, this time you go back with me, we will do it again friend?"
This, this, is simply too unreal!
Shi Xuli is like falling into a fog.
"Oh," the foreman said with a smile, "Since she has come here specially, it's impossible not to get along with her roommate. Shi Xuli, you can go back with her."
"But... well... okay." Shi Xuli lowered her head and sighed.
"laugh."
Huh?At that moment just now... the wild cat seemed to be smiling sinisterly?
"No, no, no, I don't want to go! Miss the foreman, she, she, he, will definitely eat me, wash and chop it up, put it in the oven, and make it into fox stuffed bread!"
Shi Xuli yelled and hid behind the foreman.
"Bullshit!"
The foreman grabbed Shi Xuli's wrist casually, and Shi Xuli suddenly lost all strength, so the foreman handed Shi Xuli into the hands of the wild cat like a chicken.Shi Xuli had never discovered that the foreman had such strange powers before... Is this Chinese Kung Fu?
"Enjoy your snack time."
After the head lady said this to them, she took out the half-drunk black tea cup from nowhere.
The door of hope is slowly closing.
***
Shi Xuli was forced to follow the wild cat back to the dormitory.
"What the hell do you want to do?!"
Shi Xuli hid in a corner of the bed and questioned the wild cat.
Unexpectedly, the wild cat really brought an oversized porcelain plate for snacks, and just put it on the bed.
"I made it very clear, eat some snacks." Wild Cat said coldly.
Shi Xuli turned her head aside stubbornly to express her refusal, but she still couldn't help but cast a glance from the corner of her eye.
In addition to the egg pudding she made last time, there are also hazelnut cookies, caramel macchiato cupcakes, cranberry muffins, puffs with unknown fillings, and various colors Macaron...
Shi Xuli couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
I have to admit that the wild cat guy is really good at making snacks.
"I, I don't want to eat it! Who knows if there is poison in it?"
Shi Xuli continues to be a hero.
"I just said 'have a snack', but I didn't say it was for you."
Wildcat squinted at her.
ha?Shi Xuli suddenly couldn't understand again.
Wildcat didn't bother to explain further.She reached for the pudding with a small teaspoon, but she didn't eat it directly with the teaspoon. Instead, she held the pudding with the teaspoon, lifted it up, and opened her lips slightly... Ziliu.
The pudding disappeared.To eat it so rashly is simply a blasphemy against pudding!
Then, the wild cat went to get the puffs again.When she just picked it up, she yelled "Ah!"
"What should I do, I accidentally pinched it and broke it."
The fingertips are already stained with cream.She looked alarmed, and immediately switched hands to grab it, but the cream flowed even more.There is no way, the wild cat uses its mouth to pick up the puff... Puff.
Seeing all the cream gushing out from the crack, Shiori's heart was bleeding!
When the wild cat stretched its claws towards the last Macalon, Shi Xuli finally couldn't help but say, "Stop!"
"What's wrong?" Wildcat asked.
"Your way of eating is not correct at all! I can't stand it anymore! How can you swallow pudding in one bite? How can you squeeze out the cream in puffs when eating puffs?"
The wild cat sneered and snorted:
"I make my own dim sum, and I can eat whatever I like."
Then pick up the macaron and prepare to twist it in half.
"Stop!" Shi Xuli begged, "Please don't eat like this! Makalong is a girl's breast, how could you do such a cruel thing..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Mao took out a densely written paper and spread it out in front of Shi Xuli.
"What is this?" Shi Xuli felt a headache when he saw a pile of written words.
"Gentlemen's agreement. Both you and I participate in the Rossi Maid's Day. When you are a maid, I am your master. When I am a maid, you are my master. What, you and I are not at a disadvantage, right?"
"Who wants to sign such a boring agreement..."
"The deadline for registration is coming soon. Do you want to sign?"
"Don't sign!"
The wild cat shook the macaron in its hand.
"Okay, I'll sign." Shi Xuli conceded.
The wild cat smiled with satisfaction, and stuffed the whole Macaron into his mouth.
That's how things settled.
Until the arrival of Maid's Day, Shi Xuli was thinking about a question: Obviously the wild cat refused to cooperate with her, why did she suddenly agree?Isn't it embarrassing to go back and forth like this?
Shi Xuri knew that if she asked the wild cat this question directly, she would definitely not get an answer—with the wild cat's personality, she would definitely be like this.But in Shi Xuli, she also felt that there seemed to be something unknowable hidden in the wild cat's heart.
She, the wild cat, not only knew about Li, but also knew that Shi Xuli had lost some of her memories—it even seemed to know more than Shi Xuli.Mocking the relationship between Shi Xuli and Li, snatching the Ganges Shashu, almost doing all the things that Shi Xuli hates...but making Shi Xuli unable to hate her.
Because everything she did was like a child rebelling against the authority of an adult.
What kind of secret is hidden in her heart?
During the dessert class, Shi Xuli watched the wild cat preheat the oven while whisking the egg whites.After this period of hard work, Shi Xuli found that her egg whites were getting better and better.She just wanted to compliment herself...
"Hey, Fox."
Only wild cats can call Shiori like that.Shi Xuli raised her head quickly, but saw the wild cat was pressing one hand on the oven, looking out the window.Did I hear wrong?Just as she was about to lower her head, she heard the wild cat say another sentence:
"What kind of relationship do you have? You and Miss Lee Lawrence."
"Us? Should we say master and servant, or owners and pets... They are both a bit alike, and they are a bit different. How should I say it..." Shi Xu thought about the appropriateness while sprinkling sugar into the egg liquid expression.
"...that's enough." Ye Mao suddenly interrupted Shi Xuli, "Thank you."
Shi Xuli wanted to see the expression of the wild cat, but the wild cat was still looking out of the window, and Shi Xuli couldn't see it at all.
Or is she deliberately not wanting others to see the expression on her face?
The author has something to say: At this time, Shi Xuli doesn't know that Li, whom she has been thinking about day and night, is already on her way here... together with the owner of the wild cat.
☆、What is the meaning of travel
In the bathroom cubicle, Shiori was changing clothes.She took off the maid outfit she was used to wearing these days, put it in the suitcase, and then secretly took out the formal suit from the suitcase and put it on.
Because, it will be the entrance ceremony of Maid's Day soon.
In fact, for Shi Xuli, who is good at illusion, there is no need to be so troublesome, all he needs to do is disguise himself with a suit of clothes.But Wildcat refused to do so anyway, and refused to tell her why.Shi Xuri guessed, maybe wild cats can't do it...
However, there was one thing that surprised Shi Xuli a bit.Although they agreed to be masters and servants of each other, Wild Cat asked to wear a maid outfit when entering the venue, while Shiori wore formal clothes.Obviously that guy Wildcat has an unruly heart, why did he suddenly take the initiative to pretend to be a maid again?
"Sure enough, what I expected was right, Miss Shiori. You and the wild cat dressed up as master and servant to attend."
Shi Xuli turned her head in shock, and saw the foreman smiling, her smile was still as charming and elegant as before.
"Ah... I'm sorry..." Shi Xuli lowered her head guiltily.
"You don't need to apologize, this is a reasonable use of the rules. As long as you don't forget your identity when you put on the maid outfit next time. However," the foreman stroked her chin, "the wild cat will take the initiative to serve as the maid. Maid... I feel a little surprised..."
"Actually, to tell you the truth, what I reached with her is... an agreement of 'mutual master and servant'."
"Mutual master and servant?" The foreman was a little curious.
"That is to say, she first pretends to be my maid, and I pretend to be her master. When it's my turn to play, I will pretend to be her maid again. In this way, neither of us will suffer."
The foreman nodded while listening, and then said:
"Although it sounds reasonable, with all due respect, it's probably... a bit difficult."
Shiori was a little surprised: "Is this forbidden?"
"No, it's just... Maybe you think that the Rossi Maid's Day is like a sports meeting, which is carried out one by one? But in fact, the Rossi Maid's Day pays more attention to the meaning of the festival. The so-called competition is only based on It’s just an evaluation of the comprehensive ability that everyone demonstrated in the happy festival. In other words, although different scoring items such as manners, conversation, and food supply are listed on the scoring sheet, it is just a party in form. If you and her Mutual master and servant means that the combined performance time of two people is only the length of a party, which is very detrimental to winning the championship."
Shiori never knew this.
But she guessed that the Wildcat guy might know.Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to be a maid.In fact, Shiori just wanted a chance to attend the Maid's Day, whether she could participate or not, and how she ranked was not important to her at all.
But the wild cat guy is very important...
"Excuse me," Shiori said, "the prize for winning this competition is..."
"You're asking this. It's a book left by Miss Lantern."
Probably because Shi Xuli's current identity is the master, the foreman always uses the honorific title, which makes Shi Xuli very uncomfortable.
But since the prize is related to Miss Deng, Shi Xuli remembers that the wild cat seems to be very concerned about Miss Deng's affairs, everything seems to be explainable, but there are things that cannot be explained. "If it's a book, wouldn't it be the same to go to the Tongtian Tower, no, wouldn't it be the same to borrow it from the library? If it's the book written by Miss Deng, the strongest maid, there should be a lot of it in the library here, right?"
...almost slipped my tongue.
"That's the only book here. There's only one book here, and the winner only gets the right to borrow it, not the right to own it."
"What kind of content is recorded in that book?" Let the wild cat put down his self-esteem and become a maid... Isn't there anything in the Tianta Library?
"It is said that it contains the secret of Miss Deng's space attribute magic."
Space attribute magic... I've heard this word before, but Shiori couldn't understand it.
"I'm afraid you still can't understand, after all, you haven't been here for a long time. Then please allow me to make a fool of you." The head lady said, "—please ask me for something. You are the master now, you can ask me Make demands—anything."
Huh?Can anything be ok?Shi Xuli's eyes lit up. "Then I want to dance...ah no, remote control type... massager!"
The foreman showed a holy smile.
Shi Xuli regretted it instantly.
My God, what a shameful thing I have said to the noble lady head waiter!Shi Xuli suddenly felt ashamed.
"Okay, please use it."
The foreman handed a mysterious purple velvet bag into Shi Xuli's hands, without any shy look on her face.And Shiori felt the shape of the contents the moment she touched the bag, and even lost the courage to open it on the spot.
"Using something... forget it. Haha, haha."
Shi Xuli wiped his sweat.Suddenly, she realized——
——Isn’t this the Ganges Sand Book!
She suddenly recalled that the wild cat once tried to take her Ganges sand book...
"Excuse me, I, I have to go to the wild cat to find out..."
"Congratulations."
The foreman bowed respectfully to Shi Xuli's back.
***
Shi Xuli rushed to the entrance of the venue, only to find that the entrance ceremony had already started.The master and the maids were all waiting for the staff to receive them in the leisure area at the entrance of the venue, enjoying refreshments while waiting.The masters are all elegant gentlemen and ladies, there are elders with white beard and hair, and there are also underage girls, all dressed luxuriously.Most of them have one master and one servant, and occasionally there are masters who come with more than two maids, looking very rich.
Compared with them, Shi Xuli's clothes were too shabby, so she didn't dare to approach them, and could only use her excellent eyesight to search among the crowd from a distance.No, no, there are no wild cats anywhere... The one who made an appointment to meet here, where did she go?
"finally found you!"
Suddenly, a joyful female voice came from behind...not a wild cat.But Shi Xuli still looked back.
It was a young looking young woman, with oriental black hair and black eyes just like Li. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she seemed to be a gentle and shy type.The moment Shi Xuli turned around, her expression became tense, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
"Ah, I'm sorry... I mistook the person! Because I saw your ears... I didn't expect there to be people with such ears here. Ah, I'm sorry! You must not like to be said that..."
The young woman quickly saluted and apologized.
Of course Shiori wouldn't be angry about the ear thing.She only cares about one thing, "You mentioned ears, are you also looking for someone with a pair of animal ears?" Shi Xuli asked eagerly.
"Yeah, her name is 'Wildcat'... a weird name isn't it. Huh? Strange, I went here with another person, but where did she go... oops, I left her alone I have to go back and find her..."
As the young woman Xu Xu spoke, she was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, please!" Shi Xuli yelled.
Young stopped.
"Can you tell me your name?" Shi Xuli said, "I'm also looking for wild cats, we made an appointment to meet here..."
Before the word "face" in Shixu was uttered, she suddenly felt a shadow appearing "shua" beside her, and at the same time, her hand was firmly grasped. In the next moment, when she regained consciousness, she found that she Already in the venue.
And the person holding his hand is a real wild cat.
"What are you doing? Where did you go just now? Should we wait at the gate to enter?"
"Don't talk to that woman." Wildcat seemed very unhappy, "A daredevil like her will only bring trouble."
"But she has been looking for you! Ah, I see, she is your old lover—" Shi Xuli smiled deliberately.
"So what? A bookmark like you won't understand anyway." Wildcat said, "We're already in. If you want to go out, go out, but I won't go out."
He actually started threatening people.Shiori thought of the scoring rules explained by the foreman - it seems that the wild cat has absolutely no way to win this time.
"She is the... master you bookmarked?" "No! That's not it!"
Although the wild cat strongly opposes it, Shi Xuli and the wild cat have already discovered that after getting along with the wild cat during this period of time, if the wild cat says "yes", the answer must be "no"; if the wild cat says "no", the answer is "yes" instead— —It’s really like a tongue twister.
So it seemed that the young woman was indeed the owner of the stray cat.
At this moment, Shi Xuli suddenly had a new guess.
"Let me guess the reason why you came here to be a maid!" Shi Xuli said, "You... from the very beginning, it was for the final prize of the Maid's Day, which is the book with space attribute magic... Ganga Sha Shu, right?"
When she said the second half of the sentence, Shi Xuli suddenly felt as if she was possessed by Li, full of momentum.
Hearing Shi Xuli's words, Ye Mao was startled first, then sneered unwillingly:
"It's just a chance to be the master and pretend to be a tiger. Even the momentum is different.... Sorry, you guessed wrong."
"No matter what you say, I know I've guessed it right. Since you came to find the Ganges Sand Book, you still want to snatch my copy, so it proves that yours has been lost? Then the person outside is lost. Ganges Sand Book then lost you again, and was hit hard, so I had to come here to find your master who you asked for help, of course, is also one of the many librarians in Tongtian Tower Library."
Wildcat was silent.Seeing her like this, Shi Xuli can't wait to say more about her:
"You... are so irresponsible! You actually left your master here alone... Do you know how important a bookmark is to your master? Your master is not a genius with supernatural powers like Li, if she Lost both of you's Ganges Sand Books, she can still use other people's Ganges Sands Books to work, but without you, she will lose her way among the endless bookshelves like a maze!"
The wild cat smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"Ganges Sand Books of 'The Two of Us'? Endless Bookshelves? Nice way to say it!"
She suddenly amplified her voice:
"Isn't it great to be a genius? Isn't it great to have Ganges sand books? So even if you don't understand anything, you can still reprimand others? Why don't you look at yourself? You, Shi Xuli, don't you also abandon yourself? Master?"
"... Li is no longer a librarian!" Shi Xuli argued.
"Then, why are you still following her as a bookmark?" Wild Cat asked back.
Shi Xuli was stunned.
She suddenly found that she could not refute the wild cat.
Li is no longer a librarian...why am I still following her?
No, with Li's "Searcher" genius, she didn't even need a bookmark from the beginning... What's the point of my existence?
She only remembered that when the exile began, she had already followed Li.
She knew that Li was a failed revolutionist, and she admired and adored Li very much, and followed Li on the road of exile. Li had no travel expenses, so she had to withdraw money from her account... But she never thought about why her account was There will be so much money that it seems impossible to use it all up.
Memory... What exactly is stored in that missing piece of memory?Is it because I have been traveling for too long and have forgotten it, or has it never existed since the beginning?
Shi Xuli felt confused again, lost all her strength, and knelt on the ground.
Standing in front of her was her maid, Wildcat.
Wildcat finally said:
"A bookmark that doesn't know anything... what reason does it have to gossip about others!"
Shi Xuli stayed there, all her energy was desperately thinking about the past, she didn't hear the last words of the wild cat, and of course she didn't notice that the wild cat was silently facing the wall covered with gorgeous decorations after saying this sentence. cry.
The author has something to say: "Your buddy Lee Lawrence is dropping the line."
☆、Please thank her for me
On the bench in the fountain square in front of the auditorium, Li sat there and dozed off.Suddenly she heard someone calling her name, so she slowly opened her eyes and saw Miss Ling running towards her.
"Still haven't found it?" Li asked casually while gently massaging her forehead to relieve the headache caused by fatigue.The long-term high concentration in the port and on the ship has already tortured her body to the point of exhaustion.
"No, no." Ling panted and wiped her sweat, "but it has been confirmed that she is indeed here. I think she probably went to participate in an event called Maid's Day. Although it doesn't seem to be her character, Aye Lislina-sama’s words are certainly not wrong—”
"Sit down first." Li moved her seat after speaking.
Bell sat down as she said, but her body was a little stiff.
Li saw her nervousness, so she laughed and said, "Because I'm an exile, are you afraid of me?"
Bell shook her head quickly.What a kind man, Li thought.
***
Li sorted out her thoughts.
Judging from Ling's blunt and timid behavior during this period, Li believed that this person was indeed a newcomer to the academy and hadn't formed his own position yet, and of course it was even less likely that he was a vassal of the conservatives.What made Li more concerned was her relationship with Erythrina, and Erythrina's true position on the revolution.
"You must be very familiar with Professor Erythrina, right?" Li asked as gently as possible.
"How can I know her very well? She is a big professor. Even if the big professor and the little librarian are equal, she is also a highly respected person. I am just a newcomer. This time the wild cat is here. She also took the initiative to tell Mine. I... I don't know anything."
When Li heard the words "big professors and little librarians are equal", she couldn't help shaking her head with a smile—she is such a naive person.
It seems that there is no way to get more information from Ling.Li fell into thinking again.
The only way to observe other worlds without leaving the Boundless Learning Sea is through the infinite number of collections in the Babel Library.But if it is Erythrina, there is another method that can be used, and that is to use her dream catcher ability to spy on and enter other people's dreams.She once did this to Li, and she is still doing it now. The evidence is that she knew about Ling's bookmark—if it wasn't because Li was about to go to this place, Li really couldn't think of it. What reason to care about the situation of students in such an academy.The only explanation is that she peeped into Shi Xuri's dream in order to know Li's whereabouts.
Li's dream and Shixuli's dream, these are the two major entrances for Erythrina to grasp Li's whereabouts.The biggest difficulty in this escape was Erythrina.But since she couldn't know what Erythrina thought about the revolution now, she could only let her never find herself again.
This matter, Li has already made a decision in her heart.
"Well, if we don't go in and have a look, is it okay... It seems that the inside is about to start." Miss Ling said a little worried.
"Miss Bell."
Li looked at her junior with a serious look.
Ling also waited seriously for the senior to speak.
"I, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to find your bookmark."
"Huh, why? Didn't you just say that you also need to find something here..." Ling was very confused.
"No... Actually, it's unnecessary. Rather, if you find it, it will be very troublesome."
"I don't understand what you mean. However, you probably have your own difficulties. But," Ling suddenly emphasized, "Although I have just joined the job and often make mistakes at work, I think the library is really a very good place. place, as well as Wu Ya Xue Hai... Please don't destroy it!"
After a pause, as if forming a resolution, she said:
"Otherwise... I'll tell Professor Erythrina!"
Is this a threat?Li just felt a little dumbfounded.If Boundless Learning Sea is a good place, then those scholars who were trapped by personnel relations and academic restricted areas, and those scholars who were unsuccessful in their lives, as well as the sleeping Anna... what kind of reward should they get?
Li stood up from the bench, bowed to Ling, and said, "I'm sorry for kidnapping you at that time."
Hearing what Li said, Ling suddenly became very shy.Probably recalled the time when Li hugged her from behind.
"Finally," Li said, "If you return to the Boundless Learning Sea, please tell Erythrina for me——she will never find me again."
Bell raised her head in surprise, stared at Li's face, then lowered her gaze, and bit her lip lightly.Two seconds later, she also stood up suddenly and ran away towards the auditorium.It was like running away from Li's side in a hurry.
After watching the backs of the newcomers in the library fade away, Li took out the return ticket purchased with the fake ID she picked up earlier from her arms, scratched off the coating on it with her fingernails, and then walked towards the place where the ship landed before. .As long as the coating on the return ticket is scratched off, it won't take long for a boat back to the Dimensional Sea to pick her up.
There is only one way to prevent Elise Linna from finding herself, and that is to stop dreaming.This method has been used in the past for short periods during revolutionary years when special secrecy was required.Need to stop long sleep, change to short nap, focus on meaningless abstract patterns before each nap, and take some medicines.It is very severe torment both physically and mentally.
The current Shi Xuli is no longer the same one as before, if the current Shi Xuli is allowed to suffer such torture along with her--it would be too pitiful.
Almost all those who followed Anna and her group of comrades were convicted, imprisoned, or expelled.But those are the results of their choices.Although Li felt sad, she never regretted it.Only Shi Xuri... She hoped that at least Shi Xuri could have a happy life for her...
***
In the auditorium, the celebration is coming to an end, and the best maid has been selected.Some impatient people have already left, only the winners are still holding the trophy and the book, responding to the request of someone else to take a photo, that person is not a wild cat, nor Shi Xuli.
Shi Xuli and Ye Mao sat side by side in a dark corner, looking at the crowd sullenly, as if all the noise had nothing to do with them.
Shi Xuli thought about it, and decided to break the silence first.she says:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have quarreled with you at that time. I just went to the head lady to read the score sheet, and No.2 is you. They seem to call us the 'beast ear group'... If our quarrel did not start If someone sees it, maybe you will..."
The wild cat interrupted Shi Xuli: "Anyway, it's not a good thing... Let's forget it if it's gone."
Shiori knew that the wild cat was very sorry.
"What happened, the one between you and your master..."
Shiori's words are still
Ling didn't ask Li why she didn't know the end point, probably because she felt that there was something unusual about Li's question.
Ling said, "It's a place called Rossi Maid Academy."
Li was startled.
Why Rossi?
Although it might be possible to reunite with Shi Xuli, such a coincidence gave her a chill down her spine.
"what happened?"
When she came back to her senses, Bell was looking at her with worried eyes from the opposite side.
"You...why are you going there? Don't you want to continue working in the Babel Tower Library?" Li tried to ask in a calm and reproachful tone, concealing her shock just now and the real purpose of the question.
"Oh, actually, I lost the bookmark with my partner... Professor Elise Linna took the initiative to point me out, saying that there might be traces of it here."
Erythrina...!
Li remembered that she had always been helped by her, but at the same time, she always had doubts in her heart.Although difficult problems were solved one after another with her help, Li always had the feeling that she was leading her by the nose.
And now that feeling is more real and stronger than ever before.
Could it be... is this journey still in their calculations?It was because of the calculation that the origami show at the Dimensional Central Port went so smoothly, neither was it expelled, and no one came to pester and question it.
……Wait a moment.
Li suddenly remembered—it wasn't that no one came to ask questions.
She remembered Pip Graham who had called her back.
The audio he yelled was higher than normal, so it should be abnormal.At that time Li once thought that she was really exposed.Because she had just turned around, and the first thing she did when she saw him was to touch his tie.From Li's experience, it was a special habit that he only had when he was on alert.But when he left, he seemed to have let go of his doubts, and even licked his ears.
At that time, Li just made these simple analyzes of his small movements. Looking back now, Graham at the time didn't even know that Li Lawrence might be sent back to the port.Even if Erythrina really had the foresight, she didn't reveal it to others, especially Li's enemies.
Let's hope this chance to get it all back has not slipped away.Li thought so.Then he raised his hand and ordered two blueberry cheesecakes for himself and Miss Ling.
The author has something to say: I got two little red flowers, yeah.
☆、The trap of snack time
Walking to the end of the dark corridor alone, Shi Xu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door with all his courage.
"Please come in."
The head waiter received the half-drunk black tea cup somewhere.
"Today is also very punctual, Shi Xuli. It seems that you are really serious." The foreman said.
"Thank you for the compliment... Please continue to teach me the etiquette of the maid in the living room like yesterday."
Shi Xuli bowed and saluted.
The foreman walked up to Shi Xuli with elegant steps, looked at Shi Xuli once, and then said:
"Actually, you want to get closer to me, let me make an exception and allow you to participate in Rossi's Maid's Day?"
——It was exposed.
The head lady was right.In order to obtain the qualification to participate in the Rossi Maid Festival, Shiori will come to the foreman whenever she has a chance these days, and beg her for guidance.But this is not because Shiori is so eager to learn, but because she heard from others that the foreman is also one of the people who decides the qualifications for the Maid's Day.Shi Xuli thought: Even if I can't find the host to enter the venue for the time being, if I can ask the foreman to forgive me...
"Yes, sorry!"
Shi Xuli hastily saluted again, but her heart was agitated, as if watching the door of Rossi's Maid's Day being slowly closed, and Li's figure gradually faded away.What should I do, if the head lady hates me...
However, the head waitress didn't seem to be angry.
"Wrong leg again, you."
Hearing what she said, Shi Xuli hurriedly lowered her head to look at her legs - she was too nervous just now, and left the leg that should be retreated in front, and the leg that should have been left in front was retreated.This time, Shi Xuli's face turned even redder.
The foreman said:
"I understand that you have a reason to participate in the Maid's Day. So, it's not entirely hypocritical that you want me to train you. Don't be nervous."
The foreman is really an angel!Shi Xuli breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, another basin of cold water:
"...but not today."
"Why?" Shi Xuli couldn't understand.
"Because," the head waiter raised her white lace-gloved hand and pointed lightly at the half-open door, "someone is waiting for you there."
When she said this, a figure hiding outside the door shrank his shoulders nervously.
Shi Xuli saw the frilly skirt.
There is a maid outside the door... Who could it be?who came for me...
The doubts in Shi Xuli's heart gradually turned into expectations.
"Students outside, please come in." The foreman said.
Student... Is that person also a student here?
Hearing what the foreman said, the man moved his steps, but still turned his back to the direction of the door.
The clean and fluffy skirt, the full bow, the long black hair with the Katyusha headband...
Such beautiful long hair, just like Li.
Wait a minute...ears?
On both sides of the hair band are indeed a pair of black ears.Shi Xuli suddenly had an ominous premonition.At the same time, the maid turned around...
"wildcat?!"
Shi Xuli forgot etiquette in an instant and screamed out.
That's right, the one standing in front of her is indeed the genuine Miss Wildcat.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Xuli said angrily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Mao's eye circles suddenly turned red:
"Why do you talk to me in such a tone... I, I just want to ask you to go back and comment on the dim sum I just made..."
That guy actually whimpered!
Shi Xuli was stunned for a moment.Why did you suddenly start showing affection to me... Does that guy with a bad personality also have a gentle side?
"In the past few days," Ye Mao's tears rolled in his eyes, "you come to the head lady after class, and you don't talk to me... Last time it was my fault, this time you go back with me, we will do it again friend?"
This, this, is simply too unreal!
Shi Xuli is like falling into a fog.
"Oh," the foreman said with a smile, "Since she has come here specially, it's impossible not to get along with her roommate. Shi Xuli, you can go back with her."
"But... well... okay." Shi Xuli lowered her head and sighed.
"laugh."
Huh?At that moment just now... the wild cat seemed to be smiling sinisterly?
"No, no, no, I don't want to go! Miss the foreman, she, she, he, will definitely eat me, wash and chop it up, put it in the oven, and make it into fox stuffed bread!"
Shi Xuli yelled and hid behind the foreman.
"Bullshit!"
The foreman grabbed Shi Xuli's wrist casually, and Shi Xuli suddenly lost all strength, so the foreman handed Shi Xuli into the hands of the wild cat like a chicken.Shi Xuli had never discovered that the foreman had such strange powers before... Is this Chinese Kung Fu?
"Enjoy your snack time."
After the head lady said this to them, she took out the half-drunk black tea cup from nowhere.
The door of hope is slowly closing.
***
Shi Xuli was forced to follow the wild cat back to the dormitory.
"What the hell do you want to do?!"
Shi Xuli hid in a corner of the bed and questioned the wild cat.
Unexpectedly, the wild cat really brought an oversized porcelain plate for snacks, and just put it on the bed.
"I made it very clear, eat some snacks." Wild Cat said coldly.
Shi Xuli turned her head aside stubbornly to express her refusal, but she still couldn't help but cast a glance from the corner of her eye.
In addition to the egg pudding she made last time, there are also hazelnut cookies, caramel macchiato cupcakes, cranberry muffins, puffs with unknown fillings, and various colors Macaron...
Shi Xuli couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
I have to admit that the wild cat guy is really good at making snacks.
"I, I don't want to eat it! Who knows if there is poison in it?"
Shi Xuli continues to be a hero.
"I just said 'have a snack', but I didn't say it was for you."
Wildcat squinted at her.
ha?Shi Xuli suddenly couldn't understand again.
Wildcat didn't bother to explain further.She reached for the pudding with a small teaspoon, but she didn't eat it directly with the teaspoon. Instead, she held the pudding with the teaspoon, lifted it up, and opened her lips slightly... Ziliu.
The pudding disappeared.To eat it so rashly is simply a blasphemy against pudding!
Then, the wild cat went to get the puffs again.When she just picked it up, she yelled "Ah!"
"What should I do, I accidentally pinched it and broke it."
The fingertips are already stained with cream.She looked alarmed, and immediately switched hands to grab it, but the cream flowed even more.There is no way, the wild cat uses its mouth to pick up the puff... Puff.
Seeing all the cream gushing out from the crack, Shiori's heart was bleeding!
When the wild cat stretched its claws towards the last Macalon, Shi Xuli finally couldn't help but say, "Stop!"
"What's wrong?" Wildcat asked.
"Your way of eating is not correct at all! I can't stand it anymore! How can you swallow pudding in one bite? How can you squeeze out the cream in puffs when eating puffs?"
The wild cat sneered and snorted:
"I make my own dim sum, and I can eat whatever I like."
Then pick up the macaron and prepare to twist it in half.
"Stop!" Shi Xuli begged, "Please don't eat like this! Makalong is a girl's breast, how could you do such a cruel thing..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Mao took out a densely written paper and spread it out in front of Shi Xuli.
"What is this?" Shi Xuli felt a headache when he saw a pile of written words.
"Gentlemen's agreement. Both you and I participate in the Rossi Maid's Day. When you are a maid, I am your master. When I am a maid, you are my master. What, you and I are not at a disadvantage, right?"
"Who wants to sign such a boring agreement..."
"The deadline for registration is coming soon. Do you want to sign?"
"Don't sign!"
The wild cat shook the macaron in its hand.
"Okay, I'll sign." Shi Xuli conceded.
The wild cat smiled with satisfaction, and stuffed the whole Macaron into his mouth.
That's how things settled.
Until the arrival of Maid's Day, Shi Xuli was thinking about a question: Obviously the wild cat refused to cooperate with her, why did she suddenly agree?Isn't it embarrassing to go back and forth like this?
Shi Xuri knew that if she asked the wild cat this question directly, she would definitely not get an answer—with the wild cat's personality, she would definitely be like this.But in Shi Xuli, she also felt that there seemed to be something unknowable hidden in the wild cat's heart.
She, the wild cat, not only knew about Li, but also knew that Shi Xuli had lost some of her memories—it even seemed to know more than Shi Xuli.Mocking the relationship between Shi Xuli and Li, snatching the Ganges Shashu, almost doing all the things that Shi Xuli hates...but making Shi Xuli unable to hate her.
Because everything she did was like a child rebelling against the authority of an adult.
What kind of secret is hidden in her heart?
During the dessert class, Shi Xuli watched the wild cat preheat the oven while whisking the egg whites.After this period of hard work, Shi Xuli found that her egg whites were getting better and better.She just wanted to compliment herself...
"Hey, Fox."
Only wild cats can call Shiori like that.Shi Xuli raised her head quickly, but saw the wild cat was pressing one hand on the oven, looking out the window.Did I hear wrong?Just as she was about to lower her head, she heard the wild cat say another sentence:
"What kind of relationship do you have? You and Miss Lee Lawrence."
"Us? Should we say master and servant, or owners and pets... They are both a bit alike, and they are a bit different. How should I say it..." Shi Xu thought about the appropriateness while sprinkling sugar into the egg liquid expression.
"...that's enough." Ye Mao suddenly interrupted Shi Xuli, "Thank you."
Shi Xuli wanted to see the expression of the wild cat, but the wild cat was still looking out of the window, and Shi Xuli couldn't see it at all.
Or is she deliberately not wanting others to see the expression on her face?
The author has something to say: At this time, Shi Xuli doesn't know that Li, whom she has been thinking about day and night, is already on her way here... together with the owner of the wild cat.
☆、What is the meaning of travel
In the bathroom cubicle, Shiori was changing clothes.She took off the maid outfit she was used to wearing these days, put it in the suitcase, and then secretly took out the formal suit from the suitcase and put it on.
Because, it will be the entrance ceremony of Maid's Day soon.
In fact, for Shi Xuli, who is good at illusion, there is no need to be so troublesome, all he needs to do is disguise himself with a suit of clothes.But Wildcat refused to do so anyway, and refused to tell her why.Shi Xuri guessed, maybe wild cats can't do it...
However, there was one thing that surprised Shi Xuli a bit.Although they agreed to be masters and servants of each other, Wild Cat asked to wear a maid outfit when entering the venue, while Shiori wore formal clothes.Obviously that guy Wildcat has an unruly heart, why did he suddenly take the initiative to pretend to be a maid again?
"Sure enough, what I expected was right, Miss Shiori. You and the wild cat dressed up as master and servant to attend."
Shi Xuli turned her head in shock, and saw the foreman smiling, her smile was still as charming and elegant as before.
"Ah... I'm sorry..." Shi Xuli lowered her head guiltily.
"You don't need to apologize, this is a reasonable use of the rules. As long as you don't forget your identity when you put on the maid outfit next time. However," the foreman stroked her chin, "the wild cat will take the initiative to serve as the maid. Maid... I feel a little surprised..."
"Actually, to tell you the truth, what I reached with her is... an agreement of 'mutual master and servant'."
"Mutual master and servant?" The foreman was a little curious.
"That is to say, she first pretends to be my maid, and I pretend to be her master. When it's my turn to play, I will pretend to be her maid again. In this way, neither of us will suffer."
The foreman nodded while listening, and then said:
"Although it sounds reasonable, with all due respect, it's probably... a bit difficult."
Shiori was a little surprised: "Is this forbidden?"
"No, it's just... Maybe you think that the Rossi Maid's Day is like a sports meeting, which is carried out one by one? But in fact, the Rossi Maid's Day pays more attention to the meaning of the festival. The so-called competition is only based on It’s just an evaluation of the comprehensive ability that everyone demonstrated in the happy festival. In other words, although different scoring items such as manners, conversation, and food supply are listed on the scoring sheet, it is just a party in form. If you and her Mutual master and servant means that the combined performance time of two people is only the length of a party, which is very detrimental to winning the championship."
Shiori never knew this.
But she guessed that the Wildcat guy might know.Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered to be a maid.In fact, Shiori just wanted a chance to attend the Maid's Day, whether she could participate or not, and how she ranked was not important to her at all.
But the wild cat guy is very important...
"Excuse me," Shiori said, "the prize for winning this competition is..."
"You're asking this. It's a book left by Miss Lantern."
Probably because Shi Xuli's current identity is the master, the foreman always uses the honorific title, which makes Shi Xuli very uncomfortable.
But since the prize is related to Miss Deng, Shi Xuli remembers that the wild cat seems to be very concerned about Miss Deng's affairs, everything seems to be explainable, but there are things that cannot be explained. "If it's a book, wouldn't it be the same to go to the Tongtian Tower, no, wouldn't it be the same to borrow it from the library? If it's the book written by Miss Deng, the strongest maid, there should be a lot of it in the library here, right?"
...almost slipped my tongue.
"That's the only book here. There's only one book here, and the winner only gets the right to borrow it, not the right to own it."
"What kind of content is recorded in that book?" Let the wild cat put down his self-esteem and become a maid... Isn't there anything in the Tianta Library?
"It is said that it contains the secret of Miss Deng's space attribute magic."
Space attribute magic... I've heard this word before, but Shiori couldn't understand it.
"I'm afraid you still can't understand, after all, you haven't been here for a long time. Then please allow me to make a fool of you." The head lady said, "—please ask me for something. You are the master now, you can ask me Make demands—anything."
Huh?Can anything be ok?Shi Xuli's eyes lit up. "Then I want to dance...ah no, remote control type... massager!"
The foreman showed a holy smile.
Shi Xuli regretted it instantly.
My God, what a shameful thing I have said to the noble lady head waiter!Shi Xuli suddenly felt ashamed.
"Okay, please use it."
The foreman handed a mysterious purple velvet bag into Shi Xuli's hands, without any shy look on her face.And Shiori felt the shape of the contents the moment she touched the bag, and even lost the courage to open it on the spot.
"Using something... forget it. Haha, haha."
Shi Xuli wiped his sweat.Suddenly, she realized——
——Isn’t this the Ganges Sand Book!
She suddenly recalled that the wild cat once tried to take her Ganges sand book...
"Excuse me, I, I have to go to the wild cat to find out..."
"Congratulations."
The foreman bowed respectfully to Shi Xuli's back.
***
Shi Xuli rushed to the entrance of the venue, only to find that the entrance ceremony had already started.The master and the maids were all waiting for the staff to receive them in the leisure area at the entrance of the venue, enjoying refreshments while waiting.The masters are all elegant gentlemen and ladies, there are elders with white beard and hair, and there are also underage girls, all dressed luxuriously.Most of them have one master and one servant, and occasionally there are masters who come with more than two maids, looking very rich.
Compared with them, Shi Xuli's clothes were too shabby, so she didn't dare to approach them, and could only use her excellent eyesight to search among the crowd from a distance.No, no, there are no wild cats anywhere... The one who made an appointment to meet here, where did she go?
"finally found you!"
Suddenly, a joyful female voice came from behind...not a wild cat.But Shi Xuli still looked back.
It was a young looking young woman, with oriental black hair and black eyes just like Li. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she seemed to be a gentle and shy type.The moment Shi Xuli turned around, her expression became tense, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
"Ah, I'm sorry... I mistook the person! Because I saw your ears... I didn't expect there to be people with such ears here. Ah, I'm sorry! You must not like to be said that..."
The young woman quickly saluted and apologized.
Of course Shiori wouldn't be angry about the ear thing.She only cares about one thing, "You mentioned ears, are you also looking for someone with a pair of animal ears?" Shi Xuli asked eagerly.
"Yeah, her name is 'Wildcat'... a weird name isn't it. Huh? Strange, I went here with another person, but where did she go... oops, I left her alone I have to go back and find her..."
As the young woman Xu Xu spoke, she was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute, please!" Shi Xuli yelled.
Young stopped.
"Can you tell me your name?" Shi Xuli said, "I'm also looking for wild cats, we made an appointment to meet here..."
Before the word "face" in Shixu was uttered, she suddenly felt a shadow appearing "shua" beside her, and at the same time, her hand was firmly grasped. In the next moment, when she regained consciousness, she found that she Already in the venue.
And the person holding his hand is a real wild cat.
"What are you doing? Where did you go just now? Should we wait at the gate to enter?"
"Don't talk to that woman." Wildcat seemed very unhappy, "A daredevil like her will only bring trouble."
"But she has been looking for you! Ah, I see, she is your old lover—" Shi Xuli smiled deliberately.
"So what? A bookmark like you won't understand anyway." Wildcat said, "We're already in. If you want to go out, go out, but I won't go out."
He actually started threatening people.Shiori thought of the scoring rules explained by the foreman - it seems that the wild cat has absolutely no way to win this time.
"She is the... master you bookmarked?" "No! That's not it!"
Although the wild cat strongly opposes it, Shi Xuli and the wild cat have already discovered that after getting along with the wild cat during this period of time, if the wild cat says "yes", the answer must be "no"; if the wild cat says "no", the answer is "yes" instead— —It’s really like a tongue twister.
So it seemed that the young woman was indeed the owner of the stray cat.
At this moment, Shi Xuli suddenly had a new guess.
"Let me guess the reason why you came here to be a maid!" Shi Xuli said, "You... from the very beginning, it was for the final prize of the Maid's Day, which is the book with space attribute magic... Ganga Sha Shu, right?"
When she said the second half of the sentence, Shi Xuli suddenly felt as if she was possessed by Li, full of momentum.
Hearing Shi Xuli's words, Ye Mao was startled first, then sneered unwillingly:
"It's just a chance to be the master and pretend to be a tiger. Even the momentum is different.... Sorry, you guessed wrong."
"No matter what you say, I know I've guessed it right. Since you came to find the Ganges Sand Book, you still want to snatch my copy, so it proves that yours has been lost? Then the person outside is lost. Ganges Sand Book then lost you again, and was hit hard, so I had to come here to find your master who you asked for help, of course, is also one of the many librarians in Tongtian Tower Library."
Wildcat was silent.Seeing her like this, Shi Xuli can't wait to say more about her:
"You... are so irresponsible! You actually left your master here alone... Do you know how important a bookmark is to your master? Your master is not a genius with supernatural powers like Li, if she Lost both of you's Ganges Sand Books, she can still use other people's Ganges Sands Books to work, but without you, she will lose her way among the endless bookshelves like a maze!"
The wild cat smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"Ganges Sand Books of 'The Two of Us'? Endless Bookshelves? Nice way to say it!"
She suddenly amplified her voice:
"Isn't it great to be a genius? Isn't it great to have Ganges sand books? So even if you don't understand anything, you can still reprimand others? Why don't you look at yourself? You, Shi Xuli, don't you also abandon yourself? Master?"
"... Li is no longer a librarian!" Shi Xuli argued.
"Then, why are you still following her as a bookmark?" Wild Cat asked back.
Shi Xuli was stunned.
She suddenly found that she could not refute the wild cat.
Li is no longer a librarian...why am I still following her?
No, with Li's "Searcher" genius, she didn't even need a bookmark from the beginning... What's the point of my existence?
She only remembered that when the exile began, she had already followed Li.
She knew that Li was a failed revolutionist, and she admired and adored Li very much, and followed Li on the road of exile. Li had no travel expenses, so she had to withdraw money from her account... But she never thought about why her account was There will be so much money that it seems impossible to use it all up.
Memory... What exactly is stored in that missing piece of memory?Is it because I have been traveling for too long and have forgotten it, or has it never existed since the beginning?
Shi Xuli felt confused again, lost all her strength, and knelt on the ground.
Standing in front of her was her maid, Wildcat.
Wildcat finally said:
"A bookmark that doesn't know anything... what reason does it have to gossip about others!"
Shi Xuli stayed there, all her energy was desperately thinking about the past, she didn't hear the last words of the wild cat, and of course she didn't notice that the wild cat was silently facing the wall covered with gorgeous decorations after saying this sentence. cry.
The author has something to say: "Your buddy Lee Lawrence is dropping the line."
☆、Please thank her for me
On the bench in the fountain square in front of the auditorium, Li sat there and dozed off.Suddenly she heard someone calling her name, so she slowly opened her eyes and saw Miss Ling running towards her.
"Still haven't found it?" Li asked casually while gently massaging her forehead to relieve the headache caused by fatigue.The long-term high concentration in the port and on the ship has already tortured her body to the point of exhaustion.
"No, no." Ling panted and wiped her sweat, "but it has been confirmed that she is indeed here. I think she probably went to participate in an event called Maid's Day. Although it doesn't seem to be her character, Aye Lislina-sama’s words are certainly not wrong—”
"Sit down first." Li moved her seat after speaking.
Bell sat down as she said, but her body was a little stiff.
Li saw her nervousness, so she laughed and said, "Because I'm an exile, are you afraid of me?"
Bell shook her head quickly.What a kind man, Li thought.
***
Li sorted out her thoughts.
Judging from Ling's blunt and timid behavior during this period, Li believed that this person was indeed a newcomer to the academy and hadn't formed his own position yet, and of course it was even less likely that he was a vassal of the conservatives.What made Li more concerned was her relationship with Erythrina, and Erythrina's true position on the revolution.
"You must be very familiar with Professor Erythrina, right?" Li asked as gently as possible.
"How can I know her very well? She is a big professor. Even if the big professor and the little librarian are equal, she is also a highly respected person. I am just a newcomer. This time the wild cat is here. She also took the initiative to tell Mine. I... I don't know anything."
When Li heard the words "big professors and little librarians are equal", she couldn't help shaking her head with a smile—she is such a naive person.
It seems that there is no way to get more information from Ling.Li fell into thinking again.
The only way to observe other worlds without leaving the Boundless Learning Sea is through the infinite number of collections in the Babel Library.But if it is Erythrina, there is another method that can be used, and that is to use her dream catcher ability to spy on and enter other people's dreams.She once did this to Li, and she is still doing it now. The evidence is that she knew about Ling's bookmark—if it wasn't because Li was about to go to this place, Li really couldn't think of it. What reason to care about the situation of students in such an academy.The only explanation is that she peeped into Shi Xuri's dream in order to know Li's whereabouts.
Li's dream and Shixuli's dream, these are the two major entrances for Erythrina to grasp Li's whereabouts.The biggest difficulty in this escape was Erythrina.But since she couldn't know what Erythrina thought about the revolution now, she could only let her never find herself again.
This matter, Li has already made a decision in her heart.
"Well, if we don't go in and have a look, is it okay... It seems that the inside is about to start." Miss Ling said a little worried.
"Miss Bell."
Li looked at her junior with a serious look.
Ling also waited seriously for the senior to speak.
"I, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to find your bookmark."
"Huh, why? Didn't you just say that you also need to find something here..." Ling was very confused.
"No... Actually, it's unnecessary. Rather, if you find it, it will be very troublesome."
"I don't understand what you mean. However, you probably have your own difficulties. But," Ling suddenly emphasized, "Although I have just joined the job and often make mistakes at work, I think the library is really a very good place. place, as well as Wu Ya Xue Hai... Please don't destroy it!"
After a pause, as if forming a resolution, she said:
"Otherwise... I'll tell Professor Erythrina!"
Is this a threat?Li just felt a little dumbfounded.If Boundless Learning Sea is a good place, then those scholars who were trapped by personnel relations and academic restricted areas, and those scholars who were unsuccessful in their lives, as well as the sleeping Anna... what kind of reward should they get?
Li stood up from the bench, bowed to Ling, and said, "I'm sorry for kidnapping you at that time."
Hearing what Li said, Ling suddenly became very shy.Probably recalled the time when Li hugged her from behind.
"Finally," Li said, "If you return to the Boundless Learning Sea, please tell Erythrina for me——she will never find me again."
Bell raised her head in surprise, stared at Li's face, then lowered her gaze, and bit her lip lightly.Two seconds later, she also stood up suddenly and ran away towards the auditorium.It was like running away from Li's side in a hurry.
After watching the backs of the newcomers in the library fade away, Li took out the return ticket purchased with the fake ID she picked up earlier from her arms, scratched off the coating on it with her fingernails, and then walked towards the place where the ship landed before. .As long as the coating on the return ticket is scratched off, it won't take long for a boat back to the Dimensional Sea to pick her up.
There is only one way to prevent Elise Linna from finding herself, and that is to stop dreaming.This method has been used in the past for short periods during revolutionary years when special secrecy was required.Need to stop long sleep, change to short nap, focus on meaningless abstract patterns before each nap, and take some medicines.It is very severe torment both physically and mentally.
The current Shi Xuli is no longer the same one as before, if the current Shi Xuli is allowed to suffer such torture along with her--it would be too pitiful.
Almost all those who followed Anna and her group of comrades were convicted, imprisoned, or expelled.But those are the results of their choices.Although Li felt sad, she never regretted it.Only Shi Xuri... She hoped that at least Shi Xuri could have a happy life for her...
***
In the auditorium, the celebration is coming to an end, and the best maid has been selected.Some impatient people have already left, only the winners are still holding the trophy and the book, responding to the request of someone else to take a photo, that person is not a wild cat, nor Shi Xuli.
Shi Xuli and Ye Mao sat side by side in a dark corner, looking at the crowd sullenly, as if all the noise had nothing to do with them.
Shi Xuli thought about it, and decided to break the silence first.she says:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have quarreled with you at that time. I just went to the head lady to read the score sheet, and No.2 is you. They seem to call us the 'beast ear group'... If our quarrel did not start If someone sees it, maybe you will..."
The wild cat interrupted Shi Xuli: "Anyway, it's not a good thing... Let's forget it if it's gone."
Shiori knew that the wild cat was very sorry.
"What happened, the one between you and your master..."
Shiori's words are still
