High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1458: Chapter 202 Observation

As an Upper House Member of the Moon Council and the owner of the Greenhill Mansion, Su Shi Jun, though trusted by Professor Yao, was unable to gain the complete trust of the First University.

Therefore, she did not get involved in anything related to the Black Prison.

Instead, she chose to stay at the school, protecting the young wizards of the First University.

Of course, if the Black Prison truly encountered a crisis, and the school summoned the big wizards who stayed behind, she would also appear in the Black Prison. Until now, however, Professor Yao always had her stay safe and sound on campus.

As one of the few big wizards who remained at the school, Su Shi Jun held high authority within the School Guardian Array.

The jade bracelet on her wrist was the magic artifact that connected her to the Guardian Array. The bracelet’s glow meant that something out of the ordinary—a change that under normal circumstances would not happen at school—had occurred: a faint light indicated a minor occurrence; a strong light indicated a major event.

At the moment, the Two-Dimensional Evolution Lab was at a critical stage of observation, yet the bracelet was shining with a dim light.

Su Da Mei Nu lowered her eyelids, looking at the faint blue light on her wrist, and ultimately chose to cover it with her sleeve. Out of sight, out of mind.

It was unlikely to be anything serious anyway; those teaching assistants and the School Works Committee who stayed behind should be able to handle it.

Thinking this, she heard the research staff’s intermittent reports:

”...The Reincarnator code-named ’Supporting’ has completed fusion with Gaia and is undergoing the final transformation before transcendence!”

”...The rate of fusion with parallel worlds is accelerating; forty-nine ’Terminator’ worlds and seventy-one ’Resident Evil’ worlds have taken the lead in fusion; Resident Evil-type worlds have begun to edge out, incorporating other world domains.”

”...All Marvel Universe worlds have completed fusion; the timeline has been condensed into one.”

”...All Shushan Universe worlds have completed fusion, located at the scale of the Dust World Giant Serpent transformed from ’Supporting.’ Information anomaly, inconsistent with the adventure worlds ’Supporting’ has experienced, marked as an orange risk.”

Su Shi Jun’s gaze penetrated the thin lenses, falling upon that milky white sphere of light. Within that sphere, countless intrinsically different worlds were slowly moving, drawing closer to one another.

Across the vastness of the heavens converging into an ocean, a huge silhouette could be glimpsed at the bottom of the sea.

It was an immeasurably huge python.

In front, the snake’s head was not visible; behind, the snake’s tail was unseen. Every world was merely a piece of the giant snake’s scales, and within each scale, countless faces and events flickered.

One of the scales was currently flashing an abnormal orange-red color, strikingly different from the others that were pale white or even translucent.

”This Little Snake is about to open its eyes; Boundary Class, be prepared.”

Su Shi Jun gently pushed up her glasses, and her gaze shifted away from that unusually colored scale as she calmly instructed, ”...Last time, that cat destroyed the entire lab. This time, if this Little Snake destroys a single test bench, strip off your researcher robes, and roll off to the New World to pioneer.”

The atmosphere in the laboratory suddenly tensed up manyfold, everyone wide-eyed, fearing any mishap that might occur today.

”Defensive Barrier, level one ready!”

”Protective Barrier, level one ready!”

”Magic Power Drain Array activated! Wrinkle Smoothing Array activated! Double-checked, no errors!”

”’Supporting’s’ snake’s head has appeared, and Its eyelids are trembling violently!” exclaimed a sharp-eyed researcher, gesturing wildly, voice hoarse with effort: ”...It’s waking up, it’s about to open its eyes!”

”Boom...!”

...

...

”Boom...!”

The brass bulls’ horns slammed heavily into the museum’s wall, producing a tremendous impact sound and causing the thick stone wall to shake and tremble violently.

Zheng Qing seemed to hear the museum’s pained groan of dissatisfaction.

”Great opportunity!”

Zhang Ji Xin bellowed loudly, leaping onto the back of the Bronze Bull Zun from a few steps away, knocking out the skinny tiger on its back with a punch—only slightly bigger than a Flower Cat; with his other hand, he flipped open the Law book and shook out a Binding Spell. Taking advantage of the bull’s blind spot, several thick vines crept into the bull’s nostrils.

For a living bull, the nerves are dense around the nostrils, which are its weak point. Grasping the nostrils can subdue an enraged bull. The same held true for the Bronze Bull Zun.

When the alchemist was creating the Bronze Bull Zun, many magic power nodes were concentrated at the nose. It took the hunters of the Absolution Hunting Team a long time to confirm this point.

With the nose ring in place, the Bronze Bull Zun finally settled down somewhat.

Zheng Qing stood to the side, flipping through the Law book, skillfully summoning spells one after another, tying up the Bronze Bull Zun’s hooves, and then tossing it aside after securing it tightly.

The open space beside them was already packed with ’neatly taken care of’ exhibits.

These included the Flying Hawk Pot with its wings tied up, the Brocade Chicken Decorations with paws and wings bound, the Wild Boar Pot with hooves tied, the Tiger Talisman split into two and suspended in mid-air, and so on.

The Bronze Bull Zun was the last and most troublesome one among these slow-moving, oddly shaped exhibits.

It was not only incredibly strong but also, because it was carrying a skinny tiger on its back, could always cause trouble everywhere when the young hunters were not paying attention, giving these youths quite a hard time.

A few Fireflies flitted sluggishly back from the depths of the exhibition hall, their plump bellies flickering with a moon-white glow, circling in front of Zheng Qing, tracing out a series of concise symbols.

The young wizard looked at those symbols for a long while before finally heaving a sigh of relief.

”It’s clear,” he announced to his companions: ”This exhibition hall is temporarily safe...”

”Merlin Above!” Xin Fat Man wailed, not waiting for Zheng Qing to finish speaking, and sat down on the floor with a thump; then he laid back, lying down while mumbling, ”Endless, endless... Have these exhibits gone mad? Are they always like this?”

His last question was directed at Xiao Xiao.

The doctor, holding the Crystal Ball, did not respond to the fat man’s question.

After a while, he put away the Crystal Ball, turned to look at Zheng Qing: ”What did you mean by ’the worst-case scenario’ earlier...?”

Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was being asked.

When he realized that the residual scent from his blood might be the cause of the exhibits’ frenzy, Zheng Qing had wanted to warn his companions.

But before he had figured out how to explain, the Hunting team was met with another round of ’exhibit’ attacks.

During this time, the young wizard had already applied Bai Xian to his injured finger, and the wound had long since disappeared. Just to be safe, he also rubbed his hands with an ointment made from Water-ghost Pheromones to ensure that not a trace of residual scent was emitted—that was why the exhibits were getting less and less energetic as the fight with the young wizards went on.

Now, hearing Xiao Xiao’s inquiry, Zheng Qing raised the finger that was once injured, shook it, and tugged at the corner of his mouth:

”What I mean is, now that we’ve realized there’s something wrong with these exhibits, we should make more preparations for our subsequent adventures... just in case.”

Xiao Xiao looked at him deeply, nodded, and did not continue the topic.
