Recap
After they calmed down, he tapped the man’s chest with his fingertips and looked up at Ji Huaizhe with a gentle smile.
The tips of Ji Huaizhe’s ears turned slightly red, and then he frowned.
The soul does look better than the doll he made, but it is inconvenient to carry around.
Chu Shici was about to continue teasing him, when Ji Huaizhe took a step back and pointed to the little doll, he said in a flat tone: “Go in.”
He paused and repeated, “Go back into the doll.”
Chu Shici: …
Okay. Don’t beg me to come out again.
___
The activation of the high-level magic array had caused quite a commotion.
Lilith, along with other students, looked curiously into Ji Huaizhe’s dormitory.
The room was in chaos, ice arrows left dense holes on the walls, and burnt vines laid haphazardly on the ground.
The detection technique used by Ji Huaizhe had long since lost its effect, and hundreds of magic arrays in the room were hidden again.
The apprentices could not see the potential danger, and a few brave ones venture into the room to look around curiously.
Everyone in the campus knew that Lilith was Ji Huaizhe’s only friend. Now that Ji Huaizhe is not around, all of them turned to Lilith.
Ji Huaizhe has always been Lilith’s cash cow. After she had calmed down after their fight, she had been regretting it.
She regretted that she was not cautious enough when administering the potion and that she should have apologized promptly after she had been exposed.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Lilith realized that this was a good opportunity.
She looked around uneasy and asked worriedly: “Isn’t Ji in the dormitory?”
The sorcerer who had entered the room to check the situation shook his head, “There are traces of high-level wood-based vine summoning arrays and water-based mid-level ice arrow summoning arrays. Ji is only good at fire-based magic. He couldn’t have casted those.”
Another witch with a high silver ponytail frowned, “It should be a great magician who sneaked into his dormitory and attacked him. Lilith, have you seen any strangers these days?”
Lilith wiped away her tears and stamped her feet anxiously: “No, what should we do now? Is Ji injured? I’m so worried about him.”
Before she finished speaking, a wooden door not far away was pushed open.
Ji Huaizhe, who had already put on a new robe, walked out of a room that had been vacant for a long time.
He supported the little doll sitting on his shoulders and looked at Lilith expressionlessly: “Why are you crying? Are you worried that if I die, you will lose your source of income in the future?”
Chu Shici was busy complaining to his best buddy, the system, about his husband’s straight man behavior. When he saw Lilith, he immediately gave her the middle finger.
Unfortunately, the voodoo doll has no fingers and cannot activate its taunting skills.
One day he will definitely ask Zhe-ge to sew a special middle finger on his arm.
As soon as she saw him coming out, Lilith rushed towards him and wanted to hug him. Ji Huaizhe turned sideways slightly, and she leaped into the air.
Lilith wiped her tears and showed a bright smile, “I feel relieved to see you are okay. Who attacked you? I want to avenge my best friend!”
Ji Huaizhe shook off her hand, tapped the wand tip against her chest, and pushed her away.
The commotion soon attracted more students, and the crowd gathered became larger and larger.
Lilith followed Ji Huaizhe closely, looking at him with concerned eyes from time to time. She found a small wound on his arm and offered to bandage it.
Ji Huaizhe’s attitude towards her was very bad, and his face, which had always been expressionless, was now full of impatience.
Lilith seemed not to see his body language, and kept using various subtle actions to try to show the close relationship between them to others.
Chu Shici could guess what she was thinking.
Lilith doesn’t care about Ji Huaizhe, she just wanted to make money off of him. There is no need for Ji Huaizhe to forgive her, it is enough as long as other students mistakenly think that they still have a good relationship.
This way, there will still be a steady stream of suitors who will privately pay Lilith to give Ji Huaizhe the love potion.
He leaned into Zhe-ge’s ear and told him Lilith’s little plan.
Ji Huaizhe’s expression did not change. It seemed that he had his speculations, he just didn’t know how to deal with such a shameless person.
The little doll offered him several solutions and Ji Huaizhe thought it was feasible.
So when Lilith came closer again, Ji Huaizhe grabbed her collar directly, pressed her against the wall, and pressed the sharp tip of the wand against her neck.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, he warned in a cold tone: “There will be no next time. If you come near me again, I will kill you.”
Several witches who were close to Lilith came to stop him.
By now, Ji Huaizhe has already understood that in this world, there is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness.
Even if he told everyone that Lilith drugged him, they would only wonder why Lilith’s attempts failed and how it was regrettable that they could not get a share of the pie.
Lilith seems to be very popular, but even if he kills her in public, her friends will not avenge her.
Just as he had almost stabbed Lilith’s neck, her good sisters were only trying to persuade him from the sidelines, and no one came to save her.
Ji Huaizhe was extremely disappointed with everyone.
His scarlet eyes stared at Lilith who looked frightened. After a long silence, he finally decided to let her live.
Ji Huaizhe let go and broke Lilith’s wand as a warning.
The little witch who narrowly escaped death collapsed on the ground gasping for air.
The commotion in the apprentice dormitory soon attracted the teachers.
The old witch was helped to the dormitory building and saw Ji Huaizhe standing in the center of the crowd and Lilith who was on the ground trembling. In front of her was a wand broken in two.
The teachers dispersed the onlookers and asked Ji Huaizhe details of what had happened. After Ji Huaizhe gave them the breakdown, they looked at each other in silence.
In the end, it was the old witch who spoke first: “Professor Smith, please arrange for the students in this building to go to other dormitories first. Then take Ji to his new dormitory and do a full body examination on him. He may be cursed. The rest, come with me to investigate this dormitory, Professor Bernard, I’ll leave the preliminary inspection to you.”
A middle-aged wizard walked out of the crowd, put his arm around Ji Huaizhe’s shoulders and prepared to take him away.
A witch who was named by the old witch on the other side put down the puppet doll she had been holding on the ground, pushed it and whispered: “Go in and take a look.”
The little puppet ran into the dormitory with its short legs.
It should be very good at detection. As it runs, all the formations hidden in the room are revealed.
Looking at the large and small formations, the puppet owner took a breath and said, “At least hundreds of them. How could there be such a thing in a student’s dormitory?”
Ji Huaizhe was pulled away by the male wizard named Smith. Chu Shici stood on his shoulder, trying to look back to see the expressions on each of the teachers carefully.
Although he has not been in this world for a long time, Chu Shici has a basic understanding of the strength of the students.
Zhe-ge can knock people to the ground and beat them up at will, and no one has ever dared to stop him. This shows that Zhe-ge’s strength is top-notch even among the apprentices.
However, he is not capable of drawing such a difficult formation, it is even less possible for other young sorcerers.
The Sorcerer Academy is located in the Erya Mountains and was formed by surviving sorcerers. The interior of each dormitory is engraved with a complete set of defensive formations, and the furniture is all handmade.
The possibility of outsiders entering the dormitory to commit crimes is extremely small, and it is even more difficult to get a teleportation array into Zhe-ge’s cabinet.
There is only one possibility, that a certain teacher from the academy is behind all this.
Someone wants to deal with Zhe-ge.
Chu Shici stared at the faces of those teachers.
They seemed nervous and were looking toward the dormitory worriedly, sometimes gathering together to whisper to each other from time to time.
The old witch clutched her wand tightly, the wrinkles on her face were tightly squeezed together.
Everyone has the same expression, nothing out of the ordinary can be seen.
Even after leaving the dormitory, Chu Shici did not find the suspect.
He wanted to communicate with Zhe-ge, but when he turned around, he saw the sorcerer’s hand resting on Zhe-ge’s shoulder.
His hand was very honest, he didn’t move anywhere and just held onto his shoulder gently, but Chu Shici was already overwhelmed by this world of punishment.
He slapped the man’s hand, trying to get him to let go.
Professor Smith glanced down in surprise and found out that the one who hit him was a little doll. He smiled easily and reached out to pick up the doll.
Seeing this, Chu Shici got into the collar of Zhe-ge’s shirt and hid.
Smith retracted his hand and stopped holding onto Ji Huaizhe.
After he asked several apprentices to help organize the move, he took Ji Huaizhe to a relatively remote large wooden house.
This is Ji Huaizhe’s new dormitory.
___
The clouds in the sky covered the moon, and daylight gradually faded away to twilight. Only the torches placed near the wooden house emit a faint light.
The flames danced in the wind, and the swaying light reflected the man’s face, making his originally kind and honest face look a little peculiar.
Professor Smith did not enter the dormitory directly. He stood by the door and said casually as if making small talk: “So part of the reason why your dormitory is in such a mess is because the evil spirits you summoned attacked you?”
Ji Huaizhe nodded coldly.
“Who is that evil spirit?”
“Father Vicente, who was burned at the stake.”
“That’s amazing. He would have been an excellent servant. Where is he now? In your body?”
“En. I ate it.”
Professor Smith clicked his tongue regretfully: “Young man, you are still too reckless. Although he attacked you, the greater the risks, the greater the rewards.”
He patted his chest, and a hideous-looking plush doll poked its head out of his robe.
Unlike the ugly but cute voodoo dolls, it can get rid of children’s cries and is so ugly that it can directly scare them into unconsciousness.
Chu Shici couldn’t stand it anymore after just one glance.
He clearly felt Zhe-ge’s body stiffen for a moment, and even subconsciously took a step back when the doll greeted him.
Smith took out the doll, touched it fondly, and handed it to Ji Huaizhe.
“My servant, the doctor. The soul in his body was a witch doctor during his lifetime. You are too young, so you may not have heard of his name, but you must have heard of his deeds.”
The sorcerer spoke with unconcealable pride: “He is a great doctor. He had thrown homemade poisonous potions into the rivers of a small country. In just two months, three towns turned into dead cities. More than tens of thousands of dead civilians were raised by him to form the most powerful skeleton army in the entire Saint-Cherry continent.
That is truly a remarkable feat and he’s the person I look up to the most.”
The sorcerer touched the doll with a sigh and a loving expression on his face, and Chu Shici felt his scalp numb.
These sorcerers are crazy. How did the male protagonist of the original novel fit in with them?
A thought suddenly flashed through Chu Shici’s mind.
Zhe-ge was once the leader of the combat team, and his combat power was always at the top of his game. The male protagonist in the original novel was just an ordinary person. He can sense the danger around him, but the male protagonist cannot.
Could it be that the male protagonist in the book drank the love potion unknowingly? And not just a simple love potion but he drank all that he was given without any precautions.
The original novel is from the perspective of the male protagonist, the world through his eyes.
Chu Shici felt his whole body turned cold when he thought of the way the suitors had treated Zhe-ge.
The male protagonist may have been insulted before, but he was drugged and in an unconscious state. Or drank too much love potion that it made him lose all inhibitions.
The wizards took advantage of this and were very friendly to their public bed partner, creating an illusion of harmony and love in his eyes.
As a result, the male protagonist only knows that sorcerers are unique and have different tastes than ordinary people. He does not know that they are a group of lunatics with no bottom line.
Chu Shici told the system to listen to his guess, and the system said, [Holy shit, the male protagonist was so miserable.]
‘Yeah, truly, he was.’
[But it’s not a big problem. Your husband was cast as the male protagonist when the plot of this world just started. Before the male protagonist had time to complete the plot, the staff of the Supervision Department sent him to another world.]
‘What about the original novel?’
[The male protagonist ran away and your husband is so difficult to deal with. Even if there was a dark backstory behind the original plot, there would be no chance for it to be realized here.]
Chu Shici breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t know the male protagonist of the original novel, he was still very happy to hear this.
___
After Smith showed off his precious doll to Ji Huaizhe, he walked into the room and asked about his evil servant.
When Ji Huaizhe said that the little voodoo doll had only killed more than a hundred people during his lifetime, he shook his head in disapproval and asked him what the doll was good at.
Ji Huaizhe concealed the matter about shapeshifters and only said that he could learn things quickly and can learn them after looking at them once.
Chu Shici didn’t want to be looked down upon, so he made small fireballs and tried to tell the sorcerer that he knew magic.
Smith ignored the little doll.
If he is not Zhe-ge’s teacher, Chu Shici would have cursed at him long ago.
The sorcerer entered the room and motioned for Ji Huaizhe to sit down and take off his clothes while he examined him.
Ji Huaizhe stood beside the bed with his lips pursed tightly and not moving.
Professor Smith shrugged, “Don’t want to take it off? Then I’ll change the examination method.”
He lowered his head to prepare the tools and said, “I see that you haven’t signed a contract with him yet. If you still have a chance, I suggest you change to another doll.”
Smith talked too much and Ji Huaizhe’s face became increasingly ugly.
He kept stroking the little doll and trying to comfort him.
Since time travel, Chu Shici has never been scolded like this. He was belittled to the point of being equated to worthlessness, and it was difficult for him to talk back, so his anger slowly started to boil.
Before he couldn’t help but burst out, Ji Huaizhe, who had a worse temper than him, exploded first.
He pushed away the doctor doll that was examining him and looked at the sorcerer in front of him with a cold face.
“Professor Smith, he is my chosen servant. Please respect him.”
He pursed his lips and said, “This is my choice, and I will bear all the consequences myself.”
Smith is not without emotional intelligence. Ji Huaizhe’s words were so straightforward that he raised his eyebrows and skipped the topic.
After the examination, he clapped his hands and said, “You are not cursed nor are you possessed. As for the dark shadow getting into your body, I have to go back and check the book.”
After chatting with Ji Huaizhe for a few more words and confirming that he could not persuade him to change his servant, Smith got up and left the dormitory.
The wooden door closed again, and Ji Huaizhe lowered his eyes and looked at the little doll.
He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
Chu Shici waved his hand, “He is a teacher. As a student, it is not convenient for you to hit him and scold him. I understand. I know you were defending me just now. This is not your fault. You don’t need to apologize.”
Ji Huaizhe pursed his lips tightly, looking like he was still sulking because of what happened just now.
Zhe-ge protects his shortcomings and is also petty. Chu Shici suspected that if he thought about it for a while, he would crawl into Professor Smith’s room in the middle of the night and beat him up secretly.
Chu Shici didn’t want Zhe-ge to be troubled by an idiot, so he hugged the man’s pale fingertips, rubbed them, and changed the topic.
“Zhe-ge, someone in the academy wants to harm you. I don’t think it’s appropriate to stay here for a long time. Why don’t we run away? Let’s get out of here, take off your sorcerer robe, apply a new coat of paint on your wand, and cover your eyes up so no one can tell you are a sorcerer.”
Ji Huaizhe was silent for a while, “In three months, the witch hunters will attack the academy.”
“Just let them fight. This place is not worth fighting for.”
Ji Huaizhe shook his head, “My teacher is still here.”
Chu Shici knew that Zhe-ge was talking about the old witch, but he felt that the seemingly kind old witch did not look like a good person.
He spoke his mind.
Ji Huaizhe narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: “She is my mentor and is very kind to me. You can’t say that about her ever again in the future.”
Chu Shici crossed his arms and said, “I understand the logic, but the stronger the magician is, the crazier they become. She is too normal to be normal.”
Ji Huaizhe stopped paying attention to him.
Chu Shici can tell that Zhe-ge trusts the old witch and is very protective of her.
But no matter what he thinks, it still felt unreasonable.
If the old witch was not as crazy as other sorcerers, then why did she never defend Zhe-ge when he was bullied?
She allowed Lilith to drug him and allowed her apprentices to sexually harass him.
This was no ordinary fight between juniors. Ji Huaizhe was almost forcibly assaulted several times, a normal teacher would not possibly let it go.
This shows that she, like other magicians, is mentally ill.
Thinking of all the recent abnormalities, Chu Shici grabbed Ji Huaizhe’s finger again and changed the direction of his persuasion: “Ge, can you tell me what she has done for you to make you like her so much?”
Ji Huaizhe said without hesitation: “She took me to the academy.”
After saying this, he suddenly stopped talking.
Chu Shici looked up and saw Ji Huaizhe frowning and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
After a while, he said hesitantly, “She would make me donuts and hot cocoa, teach me magic, and is very kind to me.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s enough. I’m grateful.”
Chu Shici: …
It’s over. The old witch probably drugged Zhe-ge and took away his soul.
