General Xuan Zhen's Adventures in Twisted Wonderland (on hold)

Jamil's Accident/A Suspect Affirmed/Jack's Confession

Dream
Mu Qing had yet another vision of the King of Beasts. He was standing over a cliff when he was shocked to see an army of Hyenas marching forward and the King of Beasts: Scar said, "listen well. We're going to have a new era."
One of the hyenas spoke, "and where would we fit?"

Scar grinned, "we're going to eliminate Mufasa and his son, Simba." He smirked evilly, "and then I will be king! I have fangs and courage that no one has so be prepared!"
Mu Qing's eyes widened. "He wants his family killed just he didn't get what he want....?"

The hyenas cheered, "Long live the king! Long live the king!" Mu Qing watched every hyena join along.

End of dream
Mu Qing woke up, "I'm certain of one thing: he's no Dianxia, that's for sure."

He turned up to Grim who was awake, "come on, Mu Qing. Let's go ready and have breakfast!"

Mu Qing fixed his bed, then went to the bathroom to wash up, and then put on his uniform and tied his hair up in his Half-pony style. Then he went downstairs with Grim and they ate some congee again. Grim insisted on a tuna Congee which Mu Qing made last night before going to bed.

——- ——-
The two duos walked to Main Street where they conversed, "by the way, what's the yelling last night? The ghost even told me something about a guy with you?" Grim groaned, "Don't tell me...not another suitor-"

"Nothing happened, Bèn Māo!" Mu Qing shrieked a bit, his blush apparent in the sunlight.

He crossed his arms, "We just chatted a bit and then he left because his dorm-mates were shitting themselves worrying for him. He looked like he was more than capable of defending himself..."

Grim hummed, "well, what's his name?"

Mu Qing folded his arms, "the jerkass didn't want to say, so I gave him a name myself Lǜ Jiâo Jīnglíng."

Grim blinked, "you called him a green-horned elf?"

"Yes. I'm surprised you know that..." Mu Qing looked to Grim who grinned, "well I ain't Grim the Great and Powerful for nothing!"

Grim had been familiarizing himself with Mu Qing's language and has come to discern it: he also used Mu Qing's phone without him knowing; Harry used the translator app, which can also have you pronounce the word properly, to overhear them last night...
Then Grim asked if he could meet this Lǜ Jiâo Jīnglíng as he's never seen a student with horns before. Mu Qing shrugged, but somehow something is churning in the school today and he could feel it.

Then they walked up to Cater and Riddle. "Hey Qing-chan/Good morning, my Rose."

Mu Qing nodded, "likewise. Has anything happened to you?"

Cater smiled, "so far nothing. No injuries or anything...to us anyway."

Mu Qing asked, "where are Xīn-xing and Hēi Táo?"

Cater smiled, "Rule 249: it's their turn to wear pink and feed the flamingos."

Riddle noticed how his Rose's uniform was properly ironed and his tie was nice and he seemed to have also been wearing his usual metal ponytail.

Riddle smiled proudly before he took on a stern look and said, "actually there was another victim, my love: his name is Jamil Viper of Scarabia."

Immediately Mu Qing went straight to the infirmary where it held a worried Kalim and an injured Jamil who was laying on the bed and had a bandage all over his hand.

Kalim perked up when he saw Mu Qing, "hi, Mu Qing. I'm glad to see you but my friend is hurt and-"

Mu Qing put a hand on his shoulder, "let's each discuss this after I helped him with his injury."
