Vol 2 Chapter 90: Matthew Cullen

Outside the library, the sky was just right.
The afterglow of the evening passed the towering spire of the Shushan Pavilion and cast a long and thin shadow on the small square in front of the Pavilion.
The shadow has spread to the shore of Linzhong Lake.
The warm breeze was faint, and several boats swayed leisurely on the sparkling water, and occasionally some suspicious shadows passed by the side of the boat, but they did not affect the students' pleasure.
The monsters in the lake dare not do anything to them-this is the confidence that every student in the first university has. Just be careful not to drop things in the water.
Not far along the lakeshore, Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao saw a rockery, the white rockery was slightly yellowed in the sunset. The red warning belt around the rockery was teetering in the breeze and seemed to break at any time.
The two young wizards stopped in front of the rockery.
A few days ago, a kitten died here.
On a small open space in front of the rockery, an unknown senior encircled a small open space with bamboo branches. On the thickest bamboo branch is a round card with the word "mourning" written on it. The lower right corner of the round card is used A sketch of a kitten outlined in a black marker.
There are no tombs, no monuments, and no inscriptions.
It's just that many souvenirs are placed on the small open space surrounded by bamboo branches.
Wool balls, cat scratching boards, funny cat sticks, as well as cat climbing frames and cat litters made of hard paper shells, as well as white candles of different thicknesses, colorful wish symbols, various weaves of silk, Ninie’s rat head, shark fin, etc.
"Isn't that cat Jiang Yu's? Why didn't she make a tombstone or something." Xiao Xiao seemed a little curious about this.
"She thinks a kitten can't look down at her eyes." Zheng Qing shook her head a little sorrowfully: "So before completely catching the murderer, she felt that she had no face to see a kitten... She has not been here since that day."
"I saw her in the library this morning." Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"Check the information. She was looking up all the files of unconventional deaths of small animals in Jiuyou College in the past ten years. She told me that if no clues can be found in the files of the past ten years, then check them for nearly 20 or 30 years. , There will be traces after all."
"Unwise." Xiao Xiao shook her head again and again: "You ask her to look up the list of monsters that specialize in eyeballs. Maybe the probability of catching the murderer will be higher. What if that murderer commits the crime for the first time?"
"Do you expect it to be wise or unwise to discuss with a girl who has fallen out of favor?" Zheng Qing looked at the watermelon head with pity: "Sure enough, he is destined to be alone in his life."
Xiao Xiao's face was dark, and there was no stubbornness.
There was a breeze, and a few leaves swayed in the memorial pool. A few wild lightworms passed by the lake, lying on the burning candles, chewing on the wax oil.
A frog dragged its huge belly and slowly crawled out of the grass.
It stared at the little bug that was gnawing on wax oil.
Although the memory flowing in the blood tells it that those luminous bugs are a bit hot, but for an amphibian preparing to hibernate, any food that can replenish energy should not be missed.
The frog's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep. It raised its head and opened its wide mouth, and its belly began to pulsate slowly.
The lightworm on the candle raised its head, shaking its antennae in surprise.
But unfortunately, in the daytime, these little bugs always feel a little bad to the touch. It did not detect the figure of the green-skinned killer in the grass not far away.
With a kick of the frog's legs, the tongue shot out, hitting the thick candle mouth hard, and then quickly retracted.
The light-yellow flame trembled, and after making a beeping noise, it burned quietly again.
On the candle, the light bug that greedily eats wax oil has disappeared.
There were only two young wizards who were on the sidelines, witnessing its final outcome.
"It's really sad." Xiao Xiao lowered his eyelids and said in a low tone: "Always ignore the danger in front of him."
Having said that, he seemed to think of something. He raised his head, helped his glasses, and glanced at the mourning corner surrounded by bamboo branches. His tone was full of sarcasm: "Humans always turn a blind eye when they can, and regret it when they miss it. Using the dead to torture the living, pretending to be alive...In fact, most people are just alive."
"Shut up!" Zheng Qing turned his face and looked at the watermelon head blankly: "Can you just hang around for a while?!"
"What are you living for?" Xiao Xiao ignored his complaint and asked again.
"Live longer." Zheng Qing pondered for a moment, then solemnly replied.
"Then why do you live longer?" Xiao Xiao asked nonchalantly.
"In order to live." Zheng Qing showed a brilliant smile, turned and left the lake, and walked to the dormitory.
This problem has troubled him for a long time.
But now, he finally wanted to understand.
To live oneself is to live, and there is not so much important meaning that history will remember.
The reason for the existence of a life is not that it once existed, but that it still exists now.
"Look at me, sitting in front of your tombstone with a smile, spreading flowers for you, and weeping for you." Zheng Qing put his arm on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, gesticulating in high spirits: "I will live longer than you. Finally, I will tell you the meaning of living."
"I'm sick." Xiao Xiao held the notebook and sighed deeply: "Pay attention to the image, someone is here."
Zheng Qing quickly reduced his expression, pulled the corner of his robe, and held up a solemn expression.
As a public-funded student of Jiuyou College, Zheng Qing cannot be said to be famous, but he also needs to pay attention to his image in public places.
He doesn't want to be interviewed by the student council because of being reported as a "funny corpse", which will affect his scholarship.
Under the breeze, the leaves of the deciduous platanus collided with each other, making a rustling sound.
The stone road under the shade of the trees is a little insufficient.
But this did not affect the sight of the two young wizards.
The oncoming student was not a stranger, but a classmate named Matthew Cullen in the same class as them.
He has long golden hair and pale skin. If he hadn't always had an expression that no one else would enter, he might be more famous than Zheng Qing in this year's new students.
As a famous member of the Karen family in the wizarding world, he has this capital.
Obviously, Matthew also saw the two classmates holding books.
The three people passed by, smiled slightly, and nodded in greeting to each other, their pace did not slow down.
"I never understood." Zheng Qing looked back carefully at the classmate who had gone away, and shook his head again and again: "As a member of the legendary Karen family, why didn't he go to Alpha Academy, and he didn't pay much attention to this. A college with blood talent?... His academic performance is not so good."
"Not everyone is a public student~EbookFREE.me~ Xiao Xiao Tucao said: "Being admitted to Jiuyou College, it means that his academic performance is very good. You know, I have no test scores yet! "
"Furthermore, the way that the four colleges of the First University recruit students based on different principles is not the original intention of the establishment of the university." Before Zheng Qing could reply, Xiao Xiao continued to explain: "The original founders actually prefer to establish Schools of Liberal Arts, School of Pharmacy, School of Fuluo, School of Divination, and School of Divination. However, due to long-term contradictions and estrangements, the current pattern has finally formed."
"Therefore, school administrators often consciously adjust the student roster and assign some students with multiple characteristics to other colleges. In the words of the school, it is to promote the unity and unity of the school."
"Matthew Cullen and Jiang Yu in our class belong to this category of students. If they enrolled according to the roster, they might be more comfortable with the Alpha Academy environment."
"In other words, it means that we must proceed from the overall situation." Zheng Qing finally concluded: "Everything is for the first university, for everything about the first university."
Xiao Xiao snorted, agreeing with his opinion.
