"What would happen then?" Cedric asked.
"Your bone strength isn't as high as the attached bone strength, but bone growth would be quite abstract. The attached bones would disrupt your original body perception, so that even after your bones are suppressed, they wouldn't stop growing. Instead, they would... snap, just like a hydraulic press vertically pressing a bone," Kayson explained.
"Oh... wow..." Cedric briefly imagined the scene, perhaps his bones being compressed like a retractable hose, but he quickly realized that his bones were hard, so it would only be... a bone snapping diagonally...
"Professor, I think I need to go to Madam Pomfrey's," Cedric said, shrinking his neck.
"Then go quickly. The sooner you go, the sooner you return."
Cedric nodded and was about to row out of the office, on the way, he happened to meet Lupin rowing in.
"Hey? Lupin... Pro... fessor..."
As the two got further and further apart, Cedric's voice faded accordingly, so much so that Lupin didn't hear what he said at the end.
"Oh, how have you been these past few days?" Kayson said, tossing a wine glass to Lupin.
"Not bad, but it's just too boring staying at the camp, so I came over to wander around," Lupin said, just then noticing the sketch Cedric had left on the coffee table...
"Are ten days of mechanical arms not enough for you?"
"This is Cedric's, don't overthink it."
"Have you now extended your reach to Little Wizardss?" Lupin asked.
"If you can't speak, you can shut up..." Kayson took a breath, as if he wanted to suffocate Lupin.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I have some information about Nios. Didn't you go to find me invisibly before, and we talked in the toilet?" Lupin said.
"Uh-huh, that did happen," Kayson nodded.
"When you left with Ender Teleportation that day, you left a lot of purple light spots."
"Oh... I'm sorry..."
"No, it's not about that. It's that when my colleagues saw me come out of the toilet, I was covered in purple light spots. They teased me relentlessly, but guess who reacted the most when someone brought up the matter to Nios during our barbecue at the camp that night?" Lupin said mysteriously.
Kayson raised an eyebrow: "Since you put it that way, it must be Nios... Honestly, you're a bit insulting my intelligence."
"...Alright, but at least I've now discovered something strange about Nios. When he heard about the huge amount of purple light spots gushing out of the toilet, his expression was as if he was planning to slaughter all of us," Lupin added.
"How could purple light spots make him react so strongly... Is there some curse that relies on these purple light spots to cast spells? Or... does Nios have his own private space?" Kayson asked, suddenly pausing halfway through his sentence.
"No, we just pitched a few large tents, four people per tent," Lupin said.
"In that case..." Kayson pondered for a moment, and he quickly realized. After all, although he was quite confused in several previous cases that required deduction, he couldn't put it that way. If he really didn't have some genuine skill, how could he get along with Sherlock's personality, which made people want to strangle him?
Ultimately, he still had that tiny bit of detective talent. If he hadn't awakened MC at the very beginning, he might have followed Sherlock into investigating cases.
Lupin watched Kayson ponder for a long time, then quickly reached out and waved his hand in front of Kayson's eyes... No reaction....
"Cough cough..."
No reaction.
Lupin withdrew his hand, rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and was about to give Kayson a big slap when the latter suddenly woke up.
"If Nios doesn't have his own private space, and other places, such as the Forbidden Forest, aren't completely safe, then for him, there's only one private space: the toilet!"
"So?"
"What I mean is, he most likely contacts his superior in the toilet, and that communication tool might produce purple light spots. That's why he reacted so strangely when he heard about the light spots," Kayson said confidently.
"So now the question is. What kind of magic or Alchemy item would produce purple light spots? And why would a single light spot be enough to make Nios so startled?" Lupin continued to ask.
"That's not something we know. All we need to do now is monitor the toilet 24/7. One day, we'll find out how those purple light spots of his are produced!"
Lupin looked up at the Heavenly Dragon Slaying Cannon... "Surveillance camera?"
Kayson shook his head: "Unfortunately, that thing needs wires and transmission lines, it's too easy to expose. Fortunately, I have something more convenient." He said, pulling out his long-hidden Mystic Era magic manual again.
He buried his head in it, flipping for a long time, and finally found the recipe he was looking for. Then he scurried over to the Arcane Workbench, pulled out three gold ingots, an ender pearl, and a glass pane, and quickly made a magic mirror.
"What's this thing for?" Lupin asked.
"You can treat it as a simple portal, but we only need to seal its item channel to make it a long-distance one-way mirror. This task is yours. Put this thing on the door inside the toilet, and we can monitor the toilet," Kayson said.
"This thing should need a monitor, right...? Who would want to monitor a toilet, isn't that a bit perverted?" Lupin said with a shiver.
Kayson shrugged: "What do you think?"
"..... Give me a reason."
"I have classes every day, and you're in contact with Nios every day. Just glance when he goes to the toilet, there's no loss..."
"Isn't my sanity a loss?"
"For our cause of fighting Lord Voldemort, I'm inconveniencing you!" Kayson said seriously.
