Early the next morning, Wu Ming took Hyde and Elizabeth to the local Miskatonic University in Arkham Town.
Why didn't you go to church? First, the church where *** held the church is shared with other churches. It would be useless if it was not their turn to use it today. Second, because Miskatonic University has some background.
The town of Arkham is located in Massachusetts. The history of the town can be traced back to the mid-seventeenth century. At that time, the Puritans, who were brutally persecuted due to the religious reform movement, had taken root in the New World and fought vigorously with the local aborigines. Back then, Arkham was one of the many towns established by the Puritans at that time.
About half a century later, the horrific witch trials broke out in Salem, located south of Arkham. It was at that time that this emerging town received a large number of 'witches' and their families who were persecuted by the Salem authorities and churches. As the witch-hunting movement further expanded, more victims were involved in the witch trials conducted by the Salem authorities. More and more exiles fled to Arkham Town. The town also grew rapidly during this period.
Nowadays, Salem has long become a modern industrial city, and the victims of those unjust deaths have been rectified after being stigmatized for three centuries. Arkham Town is still the small town adjacent to the river with outstanding people. .
In this small town, there are two places that are very famous among the locals.
Arkham Asylum and Miskatonic University.
But this time the story doesn’t involve Arkham Asylum, so let’s leave it at that and return to the origins of Miskatonic University. Why does Miskatonic University have some background? It is because this university was founded by a group of magicians.
During the Salem massacre, when people chased the wrong rabbit and tortured innocent people to death, many people lived in seclusion there to delve into forbidden knowledge. However, real magicians, witches and wizards were watching this farce, watching the girl make up unfounded stories. Accusation, watching the girl secretly prick herself with needles to accuse others of using magic to torture her, and then quietly leave before the fire reaches her body. Junqu Pavilion
Finally, these people moved to Arkham Town and established Miskatonic University here. The magicians hid themselves in the city in the name of the institution, and could feel at ease in the library to study the knowledge that had been lost since the age of the gods. In view of the special nature of the University of Michigan, the students recruited by the University of Michigan are mainly for survivors who have obvious extraordinary talents or have experienced extraordinary events. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, they will also recruit some ordinary students to cover up Miskatonic. The special nature of the university.
You go to Professor Philip. President Kraft of the University of Michigan heard about Wu Ming's visit. He leaned on the soft and comfortable seat, but his attention was always on the magic book in front of him. While flipping through the magic book, he spoke calmly. Said: Counting the days, it seems? No, it might be that I didn't come to school for a week. Folklore students seem to have reported this problem before
Wu Ming looked at his completely indifferent expression and his eyebrows jumped wildly: Your school has been embarrassed, how can you still be so calm? Aren't you afraid that Professor Philip will make big news for you?
Alas, I didn’t say that. Principal Kraft sighed and closed the heavy magic book in his hand. This handsome middle-aged man adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and then raised his head to look at Wu Ming. "Brother, I see you are a newbie." Come on. For the University of Michigan, it is normal for a number of people to disappear every year. Not to mention a professor, even two of the past presidents have lost their lives.
Besides, I know very well how much Philip weighs. He is just a survivor of some extraordinary event. Unfortunately, that extraordinary event had a profound impact on him, and we cannot eliminate its influence. And since he does not have the qualifications and talents to be transformed into an extraordinary person, he may only be able to live as a professor in our school for the rest of his life, dealing with extraordinary things throughout his life.
Principal Kraft deliberately emphasized the word 'can only'. Wu Ming, who is good at observing people's emotions, naturally would not miss this detail. He narrowed his eyes and asked: "You mean his trip to the Amazon a year ago? In fact, Are there extraordinary elements?
Of course, Principal Kraft still maintained that disapproving tone and reopened the book in his hand.
He also showed me the magic book and related reports. Do you want to listen?
Appreciate further details.
In fact, it would not be accurate to say that it is a transcendent element. Principal Kraft kept staring at the mysterious words in the magic book. The old god said: We sent him to the primitive jungle of the Amazon to recover knowledge that may lead to some adverse consequences. Although the primitive tribes in the Amazon jungle Most of them live a primitive and isolated life, but some of their tribes still inherit the knowledge passed down from the age of gods. In some tribes, due to oral transmission, the knowledge has been eliminated from the toxicity and harmfulness from generation to generation, and has become harmless. However, in some tribes, there is still a lot of original knowledge from the Gods that has been preserved.
The mere fact that that knowledge was placed in the almost undefended primitive tribe was a risk factor. If someone was interested in it, it would not be long before they could use glass balls and daily necessities to exchange those classics from the tribe, and then read those books. The knowledge triggered a new round of turmoil in the extraordinary world.
That’s why we sent Professor Philip to the primitive jungle of the Amazon to obtain the ancient classics from those primitive tribes.
And he also completed the task very well. Although the process was a bit difficult, the investigation team they formed experienced getting lost in the jungle, being attacked by jungle beasts, and being hunted by primitive tribesmen, but he still Overcome the difficulties and bring back our list of classics from Amazon. The most amazing thing is that the person is not crazy yet, and even the mental trauma he had suffered has been cured! You must know that while we were waiting for his return, we contacted Arkham Asylum and asked them to be ready to receive patients for recuperation at any time.
Kraft was obviously very surprised when he said this, and couldn't help but raise his voice. However, the principal's last low-pitched muttering also reached Wu Ming's ears word for word, leaving him stunned and speechless for a long time before he could say it out. One comment: Good guy, you are so skilled in business, did you contribute to co-writing the madmen in Arkham Asylum?
There is no way, people in this industry go crazy easily. Even if we are magicians, if we accidentally over-read a large amount of forbidden knowledge, our human body will be distorted, and no matter how tenacious our spirit is, we will fall into madness, let alone ordinary people with fragile minds. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the lunatic asylum. Kraft shrugged, but the good news is that there was no report of extraordinary events in the report submitted by Professor Philip. According to our subsequent investigation and polygraph detection through extraordinary means, he did not lie in the report, and he also abided by the confidentiality regulations very well and never read the forbidden knowledge about the only knowledge books that could lead to extraordinary events. .
That said, there were no issues on the trip to Amazon
That's exactly what it is, at least from our perspective.
While Wu Ming was talking to President Kraft, two uninvited guests were wandering around Miskatonic University, quietly avoiding the eyes and ears of the surrounding teachers and students, and sneaking into an office.
Hyde, who followed Elizabeth and slipped into the room, closed the office door and said, "Elizabeth, this is the right place, right?"
right here! My nose is so sharp! Elizabeth nodded proudly, her nose twitched slightly and her brows wrinkled slightly, but she felt something strange here.
What's wrong? Hyde looked at Elizabeth suspiciously and asked. He closed the door of the office and locked it from the inside to prevent others from using the key to open the door.
Elizabeth did not answer, but carefully identified every scent in the air. Her expression became more and more serious, and her usually bright and sunny face gradually became gloomy. Then her expression suddenly changed, she turned her head and looked in the direction behind Hyde and shouted.
There are other people in this room!
&l;divid=&“p5&“&g;
&l;aondash;&ash; It was a round, irregular, swollen sphere, floating in mid-air. The bottom of the sphere was connected to many blood-red slender tubes. Obviously, the attack that just hit Hyde was caused by those slender tubes. .
Yi
Elizabeth had never seen such a weird creature, but before she could figure out what the physiological structure of this thing was, the swollen sphere once again shook the long blood-red tube, turning into a series of life-threatening blood-red shadows. Attack again!
