The Midnight Owl

Hei Loli, who realized that she had been deceived, fell silent.

There was no joy or anger on her cold face as usual.

But her whole body began to faintly emit black mist...

Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai looked at their captain on the other side together, because they were both wrapped in the air by vines, they happened to be at the same height, so it was convenient for them to look at each other.

【You two seem to have pissed her off...】——The uneasy eyes from Jin and Qian.

[I'm just a helper, and the person in charge of cooking is mainly our military advisor, um, military advisor. 】——Innocent eyes from Captain Xu.

The partners hanging on the vines are low-key, as well-behaved as three flower buds.

Even the shallow water stopped rippling, the crayfish stopped playing, the young dragons in Miaomiao class ran off somewhere, and the elusive electric eels were also dormant at the bottom of the water.

The scene was quiet for a while.

At this time, it shows the benefits of not being able to observe words and expressions, and to read the atmosphere.

"You should roll me up with vines, regardless of whether I am unconscious and lose combat effectiveness, but you have not." Wu Junshi was not under pressure, and he did not forget to analyze the problem-solving ideas for his opponent, "A duel between masters like you and me is almost impossible. One trick is to lose everything."

Three partners: "..."

My military division has been completely immersed in the "scheming villain" character set, but "mysterious self-confidence" is a sacred and inseparable part of everyone's set.

"Please fulfill the promise", show us the way. "Wu Sheng restrained his smile and turned serious.

Hei Luoli stared at Wu Sheng, her eyes were as cold as frost. If her eyes could freeze people to death, Junshi Wu had already entered the Ice Age.

But the electric eel was swimming around her ankles, like an evil spirit that couldn't be shaken off. She knew that as long as she moved, whether it was using stationery or driving a stone from the wind, the electric current would be absolutely destructive.

They stood in silence for a while.

No matter how unwilling Hei Luoli was, she still let go: "Right..."

The four partners pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Right-left-right..."

"Plop."

The four partners who were taking shorthand by heart were startled suddenly, what kind of way is "Pu Dong"?

Hei Luoli, who was pointing the way, was also at a loss. She was the closest to the sound and could hear it most clearly, so she immediately lowered her head.

The next second, a small wet head popped out of the water next to her legs, black, orange and white bangs were drenched into strands, the blue and green eyes were full of panic, and the little claws were struggling in the water, screaming I had to cry: "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi—"

The shallow water that didn't reach the ankle was like hell for the soul painter.

Wu Sheng never expected that Wang Wang, who belongs to Project K, would appear at this moment.He immediately lifted the stationery effect without any hesitation.

The shallow water disappeared in an instant, and Wang Wang jumped up suddenly as if he had been amnesty, and "slapped" on the wall of the maze, forming a large font, with four small claws firmly grasping the stems and leaves of the vines that spread to the wall, motionless , like a spider.

Wu Sheng saw this proficiency, and knew that the little guy must have maintained this posture for a long time before falling into the water, and he probably fell because of lack of physical strength.

Over here Junshi Wu's head has been turned [-] times, while Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin are still in the initial bewilderment over there, and their puzzled eyes drifted towards the captain.

"The fight was too intense just now. When ordering other stationery, my hand slipped, my hand slipped." Captain Xu repeatedly apologized, one for his teammates and one for Wang Wang.

teammate:"……"

Wang Wang: "Squeak!"

No matter how you listened to the exasperated cry, it carried a murderous aura that could not be relieved even if you scratched a thousand claws.

Xu Wang shrank his neck, avoiding the blue and green cold light of Master Meow, and hurriedly meditated, preparing to remove the stationery, and take Wang Wang home in the air.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his thoughts moved, Hei Luoli suddenly turned around and came to the back of Xiao Sanhua. Curiously, she stretched out a finger and lightly touched the tip of Xiao Sanhua's ear.

Little Sanhua seemed displeased to be touched, and her ears snapped down.

Hei Loli was startled, and withdrew her fingers as if she was electrocuted.

But within two seconds, she couldn't hold back again, and this time she gently scratched the top of Xiao Sanhua's head.

Little Sanhua seemed annoyed, and suddenly turned around and swooped!

Hei Luoli instinctively took half a step back, and Xiao Sanhua only threw herself on her cloak.

One miss, Wang Wang ran away immediately, which can be said to have perfectly inherited the "scheming flow" of his own team. Unexpectedly, the small claws were too sharp, and they were hooked on the cloak. With one jump and one run, it directly hit the black loli Rip off your cloak!

Long silver hair, pouring out, as beautiful as moonlight!

The black princess dress is less playful than Xiaobai, but more delicate, making her more like a moonlight elf, cool, quiet, and mysterious.

Vines disappear.

The three partners landed.

But Hei Luoli didn't even look at them, she just bent down and hugged Wang Wang carefully - she felt like a little coward who had made a mistake, stepping on her cloak and not daring to move.

A gust of gentle warm wind surrounded Wang Wang, blowing its strands of hair warm and cozy.

Wang Wang felt comfortable, and he was very nonchalant, squinting his eyes, and lay comfortably in Hei Loli's arms.

In two or three minutes, Luotangmeow was majestic again, with smooth hair and a comfortable purr.

Only then did Hei Luoli reluctantly raise her eyes to look at Xu Wang.

Captain Xu understood, and quickly summoned his own soul painter.

Wang Wang disappeared slowly from Hei Loli's arms, and the icon of the kitten's paw reappeared in Xu Wang's pencil case.

At this time, the four partners have reunited.

Hei Loli glanced at them, turned around and drew a door on the wall of the maze, using her finger as a pen.

Leaving the fingertips, the door became real, exactly the same as the twenty doors they almost missed before.

Four partners: "..."

This is also a soul painter.

"Don't forget the previous guidance." Hei Luoli turned around, her long hair like a bright moon fluttered gently in the night wind, "This door is for you."

Xu Wang asked, "What's behind the door?"

Black Lolita: "You'll know when you get out."

It's hard for Xu Wang not to be vigilant: "It can't be a trap..."

"You can also continue to walk the path I just pointed out." Hei Luoli's voice was still slightly alienated, as if she only provided options, how to choose, feel free.

Xu Wang subconsciously looked at the three partners.

Wu Sheng: "It is essential to be on guard against others."

Qian Ai: "Let's take the safe route."

Kuang Jinxin: "I don't think she has any malicious intentions..."

"Xiao Hei," Captain Xu concluded, "Let's choose the door!"

Wu Sheng, Qian Ai: "..."

What kind of voting criteria is this! ! !

Hei Luoli nodded, took two steps back, and stepped aside. The meaning of "you drive yourself" couldn't be more obvious.

When the four partners came to the door, Xu Wang took a deep breath and held the doorknob. Suddenly another hand came and covered his hand.

It's Wu Sheng.

"Wait for me," he said.

Xu Wang: "..."

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Yes, they forgot that their own military division still has a fixed link.

Wu Sheng, who told his friends to hold off opening the door, looked at Hei Luoli again, but contrary to all his friends' expectations, he didn't send out any more small cards, but said directly: "Xiao Hei..."

"Shut up." In Hei Luoli's usual indifferent tone, there was finally a trace of unbearable, "Hei Momo."

Wu Sheng was startled: "Your name?"

Hei Loli didn't say a word, she acquiesced.

Wu Sheng nodded: "Okay, Momo..."

Hei Momo: "..."

The three partners turned their heads silently, using tactics to deceive people when they should be close, and blindly omitting their surnames when they should not be close. If one day their military division is beaten, it will definitely be done by themselves!

"Where is your home?"

Fortunately, Wu Junshi's question came quickly, and he successfully diverted Hei Momo's attention and saved his life.

"Moonlight Labyrinth is my home." Hei Momo answered without hesitation.

Wu Sheng asked again: "Xiaobai has a bedroom, do you have one?"

Hei Momo frowned slightly: "Who is Xiaobai?"

Wu Sheng: "Same as you, people who live in this maze."

Hei Momo: "...Oh."

"Aren't you curious about them?" Wu Sheng was surprised by her indifference, "In addition to Xiaobai, there is also Xiaohuang, and maybe Xiaohong, Xiaolv and Xiaolan, who live in the moonlight maze like you."

"So what?" Hei Momo's eyes didn't show a wave, she didn't refute, she didn't resist, she just didn't care.

"Don't you want to go outside the maze?" Wu Sheng didn't want to give up, and kept looking at her, "There is a forest outside the maze."

Hei Momo looked up at the night sky: "I have moonlight, that's enough."

The night was quiet.

Insects chirping.

"In one minute, I'm going to restart the battle," Hei Luoli asked one last time, "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

Qian Ai: "Goodbye!"

Kuang Jinxin: "Good night!"

Xu Wang: "Nice to meet you, take care!"

Wu Sheng: "There will be a period later."

Three partners: "...don't make such a wish!!!"

After a hasty farewell, Captain Xu resolutely opened the door and led the team out.

"Click."

The doors snapped shut.

Inside the door, Hei Momo looked up at the moon again.

Outside the door, the four partners who thought they would enter the new labyrinth road were stunned on the spot facing the lush trees.

Moonlight Forest.

They... came out of the maze?

"Jingle Bell--"

[Owl: Congratulations on passing the test, and the paper was handed in successfully on 4/23! 】

Xu Wang: "..."

Wu Sheng: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qian Ai: "...Is this so cool?"

How can there be a sense of shame about cheating! ! !

Xu Wang: "Huh? Is there a sentence missing?"

Wu Sheng: "Honey, see you tomorrow, huh?"

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qian Ai: "Are you sure this sentence is in Chinese?"

"Ding--"

The second half of the sentence was not added, and the reward was issued in advance.

Usually, after handing in the test paper, it bounces back to reality, and then enters "Owl" the next day, and then the reward and coordinates are issued.

Qian Ai looked at his pencil case, and it became more and more wrong, and finally found out where the problem was: "It seems to give me an extra phantom tool!"

When the first three levels were handed in, the rewards were all "armor and equipment", but this time it was "armor and equipment illusion".

The friends put their arms together and found that everyone was the same, and this time the rewards were all three.

Student Qian, who thought he won the lottery, was instantly shattered.

"As the level goes deeper, the demand for stationery increases, and the rewards increase accordingly, which is logical."

Just after Wu Sheng finished the analysis, all the friends heard a new notification tone.

And it's a super long beat that I've never heard before.

"Jingling, ringing, ringing~~~"

[Owl: Congratulations for breaking the 4/23 handing speed record! 】

Turn in the paper...speed?

The four partners looked at each other, unprepared for a moment, there was another "ding" on their arms, for fear that they were not confused enough.

"Ding--"

<成绩单>：4/23交卷速度记录更新（01:37:25），况金鑫、钱艾、吴笙、徐望获得额外奖励！

"Ding--"

<Transcript>: [Paper submission speed list] has been opened, please check it as soon as possible.

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—"

The four treasure boxes fell in front of the four partners respectively, on the soft ground, making a thick sound.

Sheng, Wang, Jin, Qian: "..."

They have to look at the [Paper Speed ​​List] and open the treasure chest again, and it is very likely that like the previous [Total Score List], they only have 2 minutes. When the time is up, the list will be closed, and they will be forced to return to reality...

The four partners looked at each other, what are you waiting for, let's do it! ! !

clack clack-

Regardless of the gentle treatment and elegant opening of the box, the four of them opened the treasure box like a robbery!

"Ding—" the sound came and went.

In the stationery boxes of the four of them, three more stationery were added each, still a combination of anti-martial arts.

A record-breaking reward, only a set of combined stationery?

of course not.

Like the treasure chest in Endless Sea, there is also real gold and silver in it - soft sister coins.

In Xu Wang's treasure chest is a pile of [-].

In Wu Sheng's treasure chest is a stack of [-].

Inside Qian Ai's treasure chest is a... small stack, a thousand by visual estimation.

No, Ai even endured a thousand dollars, which is a whole number, but he finished counting in an instant: "It's only eight hundred!!! Desperate for conscience——"

Kuang Jinxin gently tugged on his partner's sleeve, and said in a low-key manner: "I don't have any points."

Qian Ai was stunned: "How is it possible?"

Kuang Jinxin couldn't be so shocked if he could say [-] yuan.

But looking down, the other party's treasure chest was indeed empty.

No matter how doubtful you are, you have to bear with it, and friends quickly click on [Speed ​​submission speed list] to see all the information as much as possible.

No wonder they value it.

It's been more than a month since I entered "Owl", and this is the first time to open [Speed ​​List]!

[Paper handing speed list]

12/23–杜寅、樊夜白、李殿、穆亦轩、彭野（09:46:58）

11/23-…

……

7/23-范佩阳、滕子晏、万锋芒、张潜、郑落竹（02:19:02）

6/23-…

5/23-…

4/23–况金鑫、钱艾、吴笙、徐望（01:37:25）

The four partners looked down all the way, and didn't see the familiar name until 7/23.

"Fan Peiyang's team has only one record?" Even Kuang Jinxin felt that something was wrong.

This team is a frequent visitor to the overall score list, and they can be seen every week when the list is opened. Although they don't know each other, their names are so familiar that they can't be more familiar.Of course, a good overall score does not necessarily mean fast speed, but ideally, the further the checkpoint is, the fewer teams can reach it, and the fewer people can submit papers. They are all in the top five of the overall score list for each period, and even half of the time they can't pass. It's the team that reached the top, shouldn't they not even win a record after the seventh level?

and--

"The checkpoint records after 7/23 are all unfamiliar teams." Wu Sheng scanned it once, and he was sure, "There is no name that has been on the overall score list."

"Is it possible that they have been on the list before," Jinxin Kuang tried to explain, "It's just that we have been in the owl for more than a month, and they have not done well and retired, so we have not seen them on the list?"

This makes sense...

"Forget it," Wu Sheng shook his head, "There is too little information, and I can't come up with an accurate conclusion out of thin air. In the future, I will always find the answer."

Military division Wu made a decision, Xu Wang immediately shook his head, let go of his worries, and beamed with joy: "Break the single pass record, there are stationery and money to collect, don't you want to find a place to celebrate?"

Kuang Jinxin: "Of course, yes!"

Qian Ai: "Yes."

People who only take 800 yuan are consciously low-key.

The atmosphere of joy just raised its head, and the [Paper Delivery Speed ​​List] was closed.

Sure enough, 2 minutes.

The eyes of the four partners went dark, but when they turned on again, it was already a food stall in the night market.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, some stalls have closed down, but the lively atmosphere of the food stalls is still there. The aroma of frying and frying blends into the most beautiful night view, making people reluctant to leave.

"Would you like to have a stall here first?" Qian Ai suggested, "It should be appropriate to the situation, so much sense!"

Captain Xu thought for a moment, broke the record at the coordinate point, and celebrated at the coordinate point, a good story, um, it can be done.

Taking a deep breath, he decided to use his nose to choose a place to celebrate, to see which one had the most tantalizing aroma, but he didn't choose the stall, so he made himself hungry first.

Just as they were about to ask their teammates for their opinions, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin also looked like they had no prospects for "everyone wants to eat a bite". They had no choice but to hope that their military advisers were still a little rational.

Looking back, Wu Sheng was quite rational. He didn't glance at the stall, but just looked down at the ground, wondering what profound issues he was thinking about.

Xu Wang was speechless, and touched him with his elbow: "What are you thinking?"

Wu Sheng looked at him, pondered his face for another two seconds, and finally said, "It's not slippery..."

Xu Wang blinked his eyes twice, digested the military division's meaning, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You still understand me."

Wu Sheng's black line: "Next time you have a temporary plan, can you give me a look, so I can avoid risks..."

As soon as Xu Wang said this, he became angry: "I didn't know that you have so many stationery, you must use Longyou Qianshui!"

Qian Ai: "Uh, what are you two talking about..."

"It's not slippery..." Kuang Jinxin carefully linked the context, and suddenly said, "Captain, did you release barking on purpose?!"

Xu Wang nodded calmly: "I originally wanted it to hide in a dark corner and cooperate with Plan W. Who knew that you, Brother Sheng, used water, so it was afraid."

Qian Ai: "Then tell the truth, why make up a slip?"

Xu Wang: "Hei Momo is here. I can't say that the reason for letting Wang Wang out is to give you a paw from behind unexpectedly. She likes Wang Wang so much, she will be sad."

Qian Ai: "..."

A rigorous plan is overwhelming, and a man who sees the seams is amazing. In conclusion, the leadership team is all devils. ——"Qian Ai's Breakthrough Log"

"Meet you again—" A warm greeting came from beside him.

The four partners heard the sound and went to see, and they saw four familiar faces. They were the Mighty Man, Dan Fengyan, the paper man and the dark circle who had exchanged a few words while waiting at the entrance of the maze.

However, compared to the radiance they had when they entered the maze, the four of them are somewhat tired now, and the mess of fighting can be seen on their clothes.

"You've been ejected too!" The dark circles on the face were unwilling, "It takes an hour and a half to get to the exit, there must be a problem, don't let me catch those guys!"

Four partners: "..."

"Well, cough," Xu Wang cleared his throat, trying to make his eyes full of sincerity, "Didn't you say that most of the teams were familiar faces at the door, who broke the record, I don't know?"

Dark circles under the eyes: "I know everyone well, but I don't know the name, and there are enemies inside, what if the real name is revealed, what should I do if I get revenge in reality?"

The mighty man nodded and added: "Reality and owl are not completely separated worlds. Fatigue and pain will continue to reality, and so will the relationship between people."

Dan Fengyan was speechless: "Teacher Wei..."

"OKOK," the mighty man raised his hand to signal, "get out of class is over."

The paper figurine who had been quiet all the time seemed to have received some kind of sixth sense, suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at the four people thoughtfully: "Do you know the team that handed in the paper?"

Qian Ai: "I don't know him at all!"

Kuang Jinxin: "This is the first time we have come to this level."

Wu Sheng: "I never thought that a team could hand in papers so quickly."

Xu Wang: "Yeah, although I'm not reconciled, I still have to say, what an excellent team..."
