Accel World (先飞看刀) Chapter 21: Detective Mercury!

Under the large square window composed of three vertical panes and the upper horizontal glass window, the dean of the college, Zhan Xuyue, stood by the window sill, looking at the students running around in the distance below. . Behind him, the lights have been turned on, casting his shadow on the window, and the transparent glass reflects his face, which has been weather-beaten, but it is as firm as steel.

"Dean!" The female secretary made a voice behind him, "The student who applied for withdrawal at noon came again, and I have returned the application for withdrawal to him!"

"En!" It seemed to be expected, and Dean Zhan responded casually.

"Also... the first vice president is back!" The female secretary seemed to have a headache.

"Oh?" The dean of the college turned around, "Let him in!"

The female secretary went out and came outside. Next to the wall, on the station master's wooden bench, sat a man in a black suit with shiny hair. With both hands open, leaning on the back of the chair to both sides, crossing Erlang's legs leisurely, the big-toed leather shoe dangling on the left foot flickered. The style of the Phantom Academy is biased towards the Chinese tradition. It can be seen from the style of the students' school uniforms that the names of the various buildings in the academy also have an ancient style. It is precisely because of this that this suit, leather shoes, crookedly wearing a tie No matter how you look at it, the man is out of tune with the style of the entire academy, like a fly on fine porcelain, but this fly seems to be enjoying itself.

"Deputy dean, the dean invites you in!" The female secretary stood on his right side holding the blue folder with both hands, and said expressionlessly.

Looking up at the female secretary, he blew a whistle almost teasingly. The man stood up, and when he passed by Si Milei, he tilted his neck and sniffed at his side, laughing: "It's been so long No, do you miss me?"

"Deputy Dean, please be respectful," Si Milei said coldly, "I'm already engaged!"

"Wait a minute, isn't your fiancé just me?"

"So please show me some respect, this is the school!"

"No one saw..."

"Work is work!"

"I said, is this enough?"

"I'm really sorry for being so uninteresting, how about we dissolve the marriage..."

"I got it, I got it, please don't use your trump card!" The helpless man walked forward with a sigh, knocked on the door casually, opened the door and went in without waiting for anyone to respond. Opening the chair in front of the table, he sat on it leisurely: "Dean, I heard that our school has a new physical education teacher, is he still a child?"

"I thought you didn't like to ask questions about the college!" The college sat behind the table and glanced at him. The Phantom Academy has two vice-presidents. One is Di Pengtian who sits in front of him. The bridge between forces belongs to the kind of person who seems to be dispensable, but without him, it will cause a lot of trouble for the academy. And the other one is Mr. Dong Guo Hongkuo, who is completely academic. Although he is a famous doctor in the mainland of China, but in the Academy of Phantom Spirits, there are more of them in name only.

"I'm a little curious!" Di Pengtian spread his hands, "I just want to know where you got such a person?"

"It's not important!" The dean of the college looked at him, "How's the situation outside?"

"It's very troublesome! Dongyue and Shanhaimeng, it is very likely that there will be a big battle in Siming Mountain!"

"Siming Mountain?" The dean of the college had a cold look in his eyes, "Where did that ghost car first appear?"

"It's also the place where Teacher Gong died in battle! I heard that a mysterious magic circle appeared there. The masters from Dongyue and the Shanhai League are diving in which direction. It seems that the Shanhai League is going to make a big move. , there are signs that the red-haired banshee 'Magic Tower' in Paris has entered China!"

"'Magic Tower'...Tanama?" Zhan Xuyue was a little moved, "Dedicating himself to the 'devil' of the West, he created the Eiffel Tower tragedy three years ago and claimed more than 6,000 lives in an instant, even in the West Among the supernatural creatures, the 'Scarlet El', which is also a different kind, has entered the Divine State?"

"Every time this crazy woman shows up, she has to make big moves. This time she came to Shenzhou, which made the senior management of 'Dongyue' very nervous. But she was originally El, and she didn't show up. It is also very difficult to spot her. By the time she can really lock her position, it may be too late! At present, the magic circle that mysteriously emerged from Siming Mountain is likely to be Tanama's target, but it is not yet possible to find her. Determine what is the relationship between her and the Shanhaimeng, and how many clues does 'Dongyue' hold!" Di Pengtian spread his hands again, "Of course, this is about Siming Mountain, which is a bit far away from us."

"Well!" The dean of the college responded, and said thoughtfully, "I need you to help me investigate something! People from the Law Enforcement Bureau are secretly monitoring Sister Mercury Xiaohan and Mercury Xiaowei, but Yuan Yuan Tianrui hinted that he was not responsible for this matter, it seems that there are bigger figures appearing here, I want to know what happened."

"I see!" Di Pengtian got up and walked out.

"That's right!" Zhan Xuyue looked at him, "How are you and Mi Lei?"

Di Pengtian shrugged his shoulders: "Although it is a well-matched family marriage, if one day she rushes to my house and asks for an end to the engagement, I will definitely not be surprised!"

"Slowly..."

"Dean, can you stop telling me 'take your time', I have heard this sentence many times, and I have tried my best to keep myself and her at a snail's pace."

"Even at a snail's pace, as long as you can move forward!"

"The problem is that we are retreating at a snail's pace," someone laughed at himself, "It's not a thousand miles, this is already the best result."

Sigh, open the door and walk out...

***

Qianyang Kaitai Building, located in the east corner of the Phantom Academy, is an eight-story building.

In the Phantom Academy, there are eight buildings named after gossip, and each building has eight floors. Genjing Guangyao Building, which is used as a dormitory for boys, and Duijing Rouli Building, which is used as a dormitory for girls, are one of them, and Kaitai Building in Qianyang is no exception.

In Qianyang Kaitai Building, the library with a large collection of books takes up quite a lot of space. In addition, there are also spaces for various interest groups or student associations, as well as some supplementary courses.

In the library, white fluorescent lamps hang side by side on the ceiling. The entire library occupies the height of four floors in Kaitai Building in Qianyang. bookshelves, many students come and go. In addition, there are doors that connect to other quiet bookstores. If the entire library is cut open and viewed from above, it is roughly a petal-shaped structure.

At this moment, two heads poked their heads out from behind a bookshelf, looking to the other side of the bookshelf, where a large square table is placed side by side, on a long stool, the boy's back is facing them , flipping through the thick and heavy book in his hand.

"Sister, what are we doing?" One of the twin sisters whispered.

"Believe me, Teacher Xiaohan is definitely a thousand-year-old monster, and he can't hide from my sharp eyes!" The other snorted, "You are younger than us, but you can be a teacher here. Impossible, except that he is an old monster in disguise, there is no way to explain it."

"If this is the case, why didn't the other teachers find out, and even the dean didn't know his true face?"

"Because they are all idiots, there is only one truth, and no one can expose it except us. Haven't you read those martial arts books? No matter how simple or ridiculous the trick is, as long as the protagonist does not stand up, no one can expose it. Come on, that's right, the two of us are the protagonists, now please call me the great detective Mercury Xiaohan!"

“…”

"Xiaowei, why don't you talk?"

"The little girl just can't complain!"

Sister named Mercury Xiaohan grabbed a book from the bookshelf.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" The younger sister, called Mercury Xiaowei, watched in surprise as she flashed out from behind the bookshelf, stretched her left leg forward, and pointed her right hand back at the elder sister of the physical education teacher.

"Try it and see if Teacher Xiaohan is really good!" Mercury Xiaohan grabbed the book and threw it in any direction.

With a bang, the book hit the back of the boy's head, and there was a cry of "Ouch". "Who? Who threw me?" The little boy touched his head and turned around, looking left and right, but there was no one behind him.

The two twin sisters, leaning against the bookshelf, hid there, almost out of breath. After a while like this, there was no movement. The younger sister complained: "Sister, you are really too."

"It seems that Teacher Xiaohan is not very good, you can't avoid it like this, shouldn't kung fu masters watch all directions and listen to all directions?"

"How did Mr. Xiaohan become a kung fu master again? Didn't you just say that he was an old monster?"

"Wow, Xiaowei, you spit out this slot very well!"

"The little girl is really powerless to complain!"

"Student Xiaohan? Classmate Xiaowei? What are you doing?" The boy's voice suddenly sounded in their heads. The twins were startled, turned around and looked up. Their teacher Xiaohan was lying on the top of the bookshelf, watching them condescendingly and curiously. With a bang, the frightened two sisters bumped into a hard object at the same time, and with a bang, a book fell down, causing them to squat on the ground and cry out in pain.

The young boy was lying there, tongue-tied for a while, followed by a flash.

"You two, what the **** are you doing here?" A huge shadow fell on the twin sisters who were surrounded by books all over the floor. The two raised their heads, and it was a tall woman who was looking at them from above with murderous eyes. She was the administrator of the library. The bookshelf that almost fell down, and the books that fell all over the floor made the female librarian stare at them viciously.

The two quickly pointed to the bookshelf: "Yes..." The accusations of blaming the blame stopped abruptly, and Teacher Xiaohan had long since disappeared above the bookshelf.
