Chapter 1150: NO．55：Indeed quite hard to ignore

NO．55：Indeed quite hard to ignore

No matter what, in the dead of night, both trainees need to hurry home.

The reason is simple: tomorrow is Monday.

No matter whether you are a Triple Crown champion, a monster tamer, or a promising hall-of-fame trainee, at heart you are still a student and a teacher.

Those who go to school go to school, those who go to work go to work, and given the teacher-student hierarchy, it's not so easy to just skip class openly.

However, this Monday isn't necessarily the fiercest, after all this Monday is also a special holiday.

Halloween.

Indeed, it's not a statutory holiday; even Central Tressen at most holds a small on-campus event without any accompanying vacation.

It lets a school that usually only sees uniforms and occasional match attire gain a splash of color.

It also puts considerable physical and psychological pressure on individual trainees.

Because even as the temperature drops, most of Tressen's students have physiques strengthened through source energy cultivation.

In other words, they are not particularly prone to catching colds.

And in Tressen's Halloween, what does it mean that they are not particularly prone to catching colds?

It means some girls' Halloween outfits might be somewhat revealing.

Besides admiring the open atmosphere and praising their courage, Aomo didn't intend to say anything else, after all the four girls under her are quite honest.

Don't rush to rebut; here we're talking about attire.

In fact, the participation of the girls under him in this holiday is conspicuously low, so low that only Meipu Bohan specially donned a white robe imitating a ghost—likely misunderstanding from someone that Halloween is a holiday requiring special treatment.

Besides that, it's Aimu Zhiji and Manchester Chazuo, who focus more on using the holiday to summon nearby 'people' rather than participating in the festivities.

Meimei Sang was briefly given a visible form, and the long-unseen Zhouri Ningjing almost got hung from the ceiling by Aomo.

Besides that, Chazuo invited even more 'friends,' whose presence could add the most realistic phosphorescent fire effect to that black-haired horse girl.

Even so, the 'doppelganger' and ghostfire effects are at least in keeping with the holiday's appearance, stronger than Ailisuzhi's mere splattering of paint on a lab coat to mimic blood.

One can only say that while ghosts and monsters are quite attractive to ordinary researchers, for Ailisuzhi they are nothing she hasn't pondered before, and moreover a boring toy summed up by countless predecessors.

She has no interest in Halloween at all, unless the holiday gives her a chance to prank Aomo.

"So you were pranked by her, and that's why you look like this?"

At Central Tressen, beside the door inside the infirmary, the on-duty representative Qianming asked the silently standing demon beside her.

Just standing there, her horns nearly reach the ceiling; if not for a special adjustment to the nature of her flames, the black fire spewing from the tips of her horns alone could ignite a campus fire.

This is the height confidence brought to Aomo by her demonification.

"No, I didn't hear anything at all."

The demon spoke calmly, her resonant timbre carrying a unique vibration that could make everyone present feel their hearts throb.

Thus she enjoyed the highest attention in the room from start to finish.

Why predecessors' records treated the demon's words as such a deep taboo, one can surely gain a fresh sensation from this.

"You're just using holiday traditions to wrap me up; it's meaningless. Halloween isn't East Flame, nor Jidong, nor Bode. Students just want liveliness, but trainees have the right to refuse."

"Then what is this?" Qianming asked with a smile.

"…Just caught up by the past, that's all."

"Who? Little Liqi?"

"…You really are a detective."

"Indeed," she chuckled, "back when those kids on the forum were shouting about a monster in the junior high teaching building, I saw their patchwork traits and thought of you."

"Memories too deep never change, no matter how much time passes," the demon said expressionlessly. "I've recorded this lesson; perhaps even without that match video spreading across the net, Miss Liqi will eventually realize I am the 'monster' in that hallway."

"Although she looks terrified, isn't that little girl actually fond of you?" Qianming comforted, "Calling you to join the Halloween event isn't exactly being angry, is it?"

"She really isn't angry, and even prepared to set aside past grievances to help me complete a certain lottery activity that requires a lucky guarantee."

"Oh? What kind of lottery activity could make you care so much?"

"I think the point isn't here."

"Then you speak."

"Although she isn't angry, but whatever feng shui potion Suzi concocted bribed her to commission me to do this activity."

"Haha, this still went full circle." The cheerful Qianming seemed to think this was quite an anecdote.

"Although it could be stopped, but generally there's no need," the demon remained calm. "Just using one event participation to clear up that misunderstanding is also worthwhile."

"And moreover, can that little rascal Suzi not succeed?"

"Indeed, she merely wants to see me resist rejection yet still have to do it," the demon nodded. "If my reaction is too bland, she'll instead become unhappy on her own……Can we proceed? My seal."

"Ah, of course—just scaring three or more experiencers in this hospital; you standing here speaking already counts as scaring them," Qianming said, stamping the seal onto the paper between the demon's claws, "but to be honest, I thought Bai Ren had a share in this; did you do some so-called artistic embellishment?"

"?"

"Where should we start from?"

Upon hearing the other party suddenly mention that name, the demon's first thought was of last night's run—or accident—with Chengtian Bai Ren, Dazhenhan, and Xiqí Feng.

Whether it was a joint run or an accident, this little four-person jog isn't fit for bragging; Aomo even went home without telling Qian and Qielienina, merely giving a rough outline of the trainees' team-building process.

It's worth noting that even for Xintiao Qian and Qielienina Texas, Monday's strength remains fierce.

The two girls who had been opening up new ground in high intensity several half-nights in a row finally did not come together again last night.

This allowed Aomo to appear earlier in her dream, which became somewhat clearer, because not only was there a command, but also Chazuo, who had long awaited the trainee as wished.

And these need not be mentioned further; at this moment, Aomo faced the NPC employee in charge of the sign-in activity for one of the Halloween events, merely chatting while waiting for her to stamp, never expecting her to bring up Bai Ren on her own.

Could it be that the information network of those senior horse girls is circulating—when that possibility flashed unconsciously in his mind, he instead saw the other party give him a strange look.

"What do you mean, where to start… hasn't she always been there?"

She raised her hand, pointing to a spot not far behind Aomo.

There, a black-haired horse girl was having another "activity NPC" stamp a sticker; her gaze, which had been fixed on this side, hesitated, then immediately turned toward the doctor beside her.

That startled the latter, even making them unconsciously step back half a step.

... It's gotten a bit stiff, Miss Bai Ren.

Seeing this scene, the demon trainer and the horse girl Detective couldn't help but complain.
