Night World Players

Chapter 46 Welcome to Star University

"Guess?"

Dean Yin wrapped his tail around the glass and took small sips from the straw, revealing a very comfortable expression.

At this moment, the Silver Gear has already left the base and is traveling through the dense forest where few people go.

The lush and towering treetops completely blocked out the sky, and the entire train was shrouded in dim shadows. After the sunlight passed through the treetops, only mottled spots of light remained, as if countless faint stars were shining on the earth.

"Yeah." Rust nodded: "Or rather, it's actually a very simple reasoning."

"Based on my understanding of Starry University, your school has left no room for maneuver when it comes to the Night World Reverberations and the Twilight Disaster, all of which may endanger the stability of this world."

"And the little tricks I used in psychological measurement before could deal with Ishtar, but it can't fool everyone."

"Even though Xiltina has a certain say in Star University, she is still just a student after all..."

"I am very aware of the unknowns and risks. To be honest, I have prepared myself mentally for being escorted to a prison surrounded by an electric fence and imprisoned as soon as I leave the night world."

Last paused for a moment and said, "But in the end, I was only asked a few trivial questions and regained my freedom. This must have been possible with the help of the top leaders of other colleges."

"And even Ishtar is completely unaware of what happened in the historical remnants of Deep Blue Harbor... This means that this information is highly confidential. Hiltina should only reveal it to the people she trusts the most."

"Dean Yin, you are here again at this moment, and as soon as you appeared, you mentioned my experience of circulating in Deep Blue Harbor for two or three hundred years. This is naturally impossible to be just a coincidence."

Last took a look at the unidentified creature in front of him that claimed to be a snow marten and smiled.

"Dean Yin and I have never met before."

"The reason you are willing to help me is probably because of Hiltina."

He stared at the red wine in the glass and said, "I didn't expect that I would owe her a new favor before I paid off the 1,600 gold coins."

Dean Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at Last for a long time.

"I now understand why you played that little girl Ishtar around so hard."

It returned to its original lazy posture, and its furry snow-white tail shook slightly.

On Rast's desk, a contract document written in black and white appeared silently.

"Your acceptance letter, sign it."

Luster took the document and began to look through it.

The content of the document is generally no different from the offer from a foreign university in Last's previous life.

The only difference is that there is an extra half-page confidentiality agreement about the Night World, which prohibits the disclosure of any information about the Night World, Night Travelers, and Dusk Disaster to civilians and uninformed people.

Of course, considering the series of social unrest that may be triggered once the truth of the Twilight Disaster is made public, the intention of this confidentiality agreement is not difficult to understand.

While Last was signing the contract, Dean Yin was also looking at the young man in front of him calmly.

As a magical creature, its advancement cannot be done step by step like that of human extraordinary beings, but it has to find another way.

Over a long period of time, Dean Yin discovered that contact with humans and feeling their sincere emotions seemed to promote and stimulate his own growth.

The more genuine and pure the human emotions it comes into contact with, the more obvious the improvement it will gain.

This is also the reason why Dean Yin chose to accept the invitation to join Star University and serve as the dean of the Institute of Magical Creatures.

Therefore, Dean Yin, who possesses the ability of the "Moon of Truth" and can easily identify lies, hates those students who are smooth-talking and have impure intentions the most.

There are too many impurities in their emotions, which not only cannot help them, but may even have a counterproductive effect.

The extraordinary friendship between Dean Yin and Hiltina also stems from this... Compared with other students in Star University, Hiltina's pure belief is as bright as the full moon in the night sky.

Originally, based on Dean Yin's initial judgment of Last, he thought that he was also the type with complicated thoughts... After all, he wore too many personality masks, which was no different from a schizophrenic patient. Such emotions were as useless to Dean Yin as a stinking ditch. Dean Yin agreed to take care of Last completely out of Hiltina's face. He was originally only going to secretly allocate a ray of mental power to take care of him, and he didn't even plan to show up.

only--

At the end of the psychological inquiry, Dean Yin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Last's heart.

"Partners of justice?"

Dean Yin looked at the boy who was checking the contract in front of him, and recalled what Hiltina had told him about what Last had done in Deep Blue Harbor. He couldn't help but muttered softly, "It doesn't seem like it."

Ordinary people wear masks to cover up their ugly, dark and flawed parts, and to package themselves as perfect as possible.

But Laster used layers of personality masks to disguise himself as an ordinary person who was a little greedy, a little lustful, a little selfish, had seven emotions and six desires, and had many flaws... He could be seen everywhere and was not noticeable.

However, in that fleeting glimpse, the emotion that Dean Yin saw was even more monotonous and purer than that of Hiltina, so pure that it was even a little absurd.

It was as if he was not a human being with flesh and blood.

Instead, they put on the cloak of humanity and disguised themselves as human beings, but their core was just acting for a certain preset goal...

machine.

"By the way, what will happen if I don't sign this?" Last suddenly raised the contract in his hand.

"Do you know how much effort I put into helping you pass the admission review?" Dean Yin was immediately furious.

Its eyes flashed with dangerous glare. "By the way, because of slandering the director of the Institute for Magical Creatures behind her back, Ishtar was deducted 20 points from the Seancetary. She also needs to be exiled to another dimension and confined for two hours. There is one hour and thirteen minutes left."

As if frightened by Dean Yin's threat of "exile to another space", Last's fingers trembled slightly, and the pen fell from his fingers to the ground.

He bent down to pick up the pen and quickly signed his name on the contract.

Dean Yin took in everything that was happening before him.

An illusion...?

Although the "Moon of Truth" will never make mistakes in distinguishing truth from falsehood, truth and lies are sometimes quite vague concepts.

Just like the sentence "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just", even if it is said by an unforgivable criminal, if he believes it from the bottom of his heart, it will be judged as the truth.

Perhaps this is why my judgment of Last became confused.

As Dean Yin had this thought in his mind, the train suddenly sounded a loud whistle.

After a few seconds, as the train moved forward, the darkness in the dense forest gradually faded away.

Dazzling golden light shone into the carriage from the cracks in the forest ahead, as if penetrating through the curtain of darkness.

The trees suddenly disappeared on both sides, replaced by a vast plain.

It was truly a golden field. The wind rushed in from the end of the earth, blowing out undulating waves on the grassland. The spreading sunlight dyed the entire land, including the mountains in the distance, into a brilliant golden color.

The winding rails run through this golden ocean like a silver line, and at the end of the silver line——

Green lawns, long paths paved with red pebbles, castle-like towers, white doves flying up and down on the church spire...

In the golden glow, the magnificent building complex is already in sight.

"Welcome to--"

"Star University."

After Dean Yin finished speaking, only the roar of the high-speed train echoed in the wilderness.
