"Deliberately false?"
"Yes, the old guys are probably too obsessed with theology that they have brain problems."
"and after?"
"The professor cannot fool a medical student who advocates science and make him become superstitious, and the medical student cannot help him get rid of his imagination. In the next four years, we will not interfere with each other."
At this point, Joseph seemed to come out of his strange emotions. He firmly believed that he was on the right path.
It's just that this guy's medical skills are really not very good.
At this moment, Lu Li looked at the proud doctor with extremely complicated feelings.
The professors have made it so obvious. No matter what you think in your heart, if you agree, what can you lose?
To use an inappropriate analogy, Patriarch Bodhi was going to teach Monkey Sun magic skills, but instead of asking him to come to him in the middle of the night without playing riddles, Monkey Sun was not only unappreciative, but also made it impossible for him to come down in front of many senior fellow apprentices.
"What about your other classmates?" Lu Li thought carefully and deliberately teased: "Is it possible that some people really believe that ridiculous statement and follow the professor to study theology?"
"have."
Joseph sighed, as if he was lamenting that there are only a few smart people after all.
"In fact, I am the only one who can muster the courage to refuse the professor's invitation."
"The students participated in some after-school training with a skeptical attitude? It's not accurate to say that, let's call it interest expansion."
"At first, most people were skeptical, and even expressed a sense of helplessness when communicating with me."
"But as time went on, they became very strange, and they repeatedly conveyed to me a strange message: I was stupid to refuse the professor."
Recalling this, Joseph looked like he had seen a ghost, and his tone was strange:
"Because the school is located in a remote place, I only go home once a year, and I even stay at the school and never go back."
“Because of this, my life at the University of Michigan was particularly difficult, as if I was living among a group of aliens.
Classmates who used to be close friends often got together to discuss academic issues, but whenever I showed up, they would invariably shut up and stare at me as if they were a stranger.
And this is just a small scene in life. "
After saying this, Joseph raised his head and drank the cold milk in one gulp, trying to relieve the depression in his heart.
Is it wrong to stick to science?
He kept questioning himself in his mind.
At the same time, I silently thought about another possibility. If I hadn't been so stubborn at the time, and just like most of my classmates, I had too many doubts, I might have been able to blend in.
While Joseph was meditating, Lu Li fell into a dilemma. Through conversation and observation, he discovered that this crappy doctor really didn't know the truth about the world.
"So, where is this book?"
"To be honest, I've always been curious as to why it was so badly worn. There was clearly no information in it."
In the end, Lu Li decided to ask the last key question. As the previous master, it was impossible for him to know everything.
"That happened when I was about to graduate."
It was rare for someone to be willing to listen to him talk about the past, so Joseph no longer concealed anything, took out his pipe from his pocket, lit it, and recounted:
"As mentioned before, I was not happy during those four years due to the irreconcilable conflicts with my professors and the indescribable and sad barriers between me and my classmates."
"Most of the time I am self-study."
"But I'm still a member of Miskatonic University and I need to participate in graduation activities, photos and so on."
"One afternoon, we took graduation photos on the statue lawn in front of the Memorial Building. That place was a building funded and built by Sir Robert Carter, the patriarch of the college. It has a strong sense of history."
"And those old classmates who I haven't seen for a long time are gradually gathering here. I thought they would all be present, but the result was particularly cruel."
"In the end, only 21 people showed up, less than one-third of the number at the time of enrollment. But those students who rushed over showed no sign of it. I was the only one who was kept in the dark."
"The complicated mentality of graduating and various experiences drove me to decide to ask everything clearly. Therefore, later in the evening, I found a very good friend of mine and asked him what the truth was. The truth from the professor's mouth was What, where did the disappeared classmates go?"
"He said that there has been a breakthrough in the recent research project, but he couldn't explain it clearly in a few sentences. He agreed to go to the library to talk about it in five days."
"Actually, I have never been to the library. After all, UM is famous for literature, philosophy, and theology, and the medical school is a newly established secondary school. It is difficult to find any valuable reference materials."
"Because of this, I had a weird idea at the time. Did I miss something? I could go and sit there before graduation to make up for my regrets."
"Unfortunately, I still haven't entered the library until now because that old friend died. The incident occurred at night three days after the graduation photos were taken."
"That was the moment I was closest to the truth, but an accident ruined it. So, I applied to the school to collect my friend's belongings. The guy was an orphan with a strange personality. Except for being connected to the professor, he was nothing like anyone else. ignore."
"So, the school approved the application. Frankly speaking, I didn't have much hope. After all, those professors would probably handle the funeral."
At this time, Lu Li also guessed that this book was the medical student's relic.
"The moment I entered my friend's dormitory, I smelled a fishy smell, which was very similar to the smell of highly decayed seafood, but I didn't see the body. It was taken away by the college security room..."
"Then, I found it on an empty bookshelf. It's one of the few relics."
Perhaps because he knew very little, or perhaps he was unwilling to recall the pain, Joseph spoke very vaguely about the last episode of the past, and he spent most of the time with his head down and smoking a sullen cigarette.
"I don't want you to laugh if I say it. The reason why it remains in Baker Street is because I intend to completely draw a line from that past."
"I can see that you are very interested in Miskatonic University. I brought it out from the college. It is one of the few items. If it is not too heavy, you can take it away and study it carefully."
After saying that, Joseph knocked off the ash from his cigarette, stood up from the sofa, looked at the gradually thickening fog outside, and added: "There must be a weapon hidden in your cane. If it hadn't been for some conversation, I would have even thought that You are a UM alumnus.
Those alumni majoring in antiquities studies like to do this, chatting all day long, as if they are ready to fight at any time. "
"Finally, it's getting late. Let's start back to Baker Street early. The Whitechapel district will be even more chaotic at night."
