An unclear and strange experience.
Lu Li concluded this.
However, after seeing this kind of thing enough, he can accept it. Besides, there is no mandatory order requiring him to find out the truth.
Ever since, the steam transportation boat officially set sail.
Instruments such as nautical charts, sextants, two-legged compasses, protractors, and parallel rulers, as well as iconic celestial objects that can be seen clearly after the fog.
Lu Li was convinced that they were traveling on the theoretically correct course.
Of course, during this process, the possibility of encountering other traffic boats is very slim. After all, an almost negligible small angle/error is enough to cause them to deviate far apart.
What's more, Lu Li changed his target temporarily.
Directly sail the steamship named [Black Emperor] to the city where Miskatonic University is located.
It is worth mentioning that it is located in the town of Arkham, but it is not in Massachusetts——
The New World had no government, only independent city-states, similar to those in ancient Greece.
Among them, Arkham is located on the northern coast and can be reached directly by boat.
"This school is at the forefront of the universe in archeology, mysticism, history, psychology and other professional fields. Even people in other worlds have heard about it."
“Moreover, the University of Michigan often organizes and sponsors many exploration activities...”
On the deck, the junior student was talking endlessly about the University of Michigan to Mia, hoping that she could join and not be limited to being a student.
Maybe they are recruiting school janitors over there?
When mentioning [Other Worlds], Yang Kai subconsciously turned his attention to Lu Li, because this senior didn't seem to care about his identity being exposed.
Miss Mia noticed the deep meaning and was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.
"Ah...when can I change back...I can't stand this form."
The little mouse made a home in Lu Li's hair and started rolling around again.
"Be patient for now, and when I get to the University of Michigan library, I will find ways to find traces of those ancient materials."
"Okay, please."
My mind can finally be quiet for a moment.
Ahead, darkness shrouded the sea, and a thick cloud was spreading outward, making the sky drop so low that it seemed like you could touch it.
This kind of scene can often be seen on the sea. There is no need to think too much about it. Lu Li very calmly reduced the speed of the boat, bringing it to a standstill, and then quietly waited for the storm to pass.
"At this rate, it will take us twenty days to arrive."
"And the coal can only last for another ten days. We have to go to this place to complete supplies in the middle."
Even though he couldn't go forward due to the weather, Lu Li still devoted himself to his work...
There is no other way. Apart from being responsible for the boiler, obeying his own arrangements, and shoveling coal in, the little boy can only eat, drink, poop and sleep.
Miss Mia can be used as an eye-catching vase.
Little mice can be used as pets, and they can dance to entertain themselves.
An island visible to the naked eye is marked on the nautical chart, and the narrator reads:
Resource-based islands, anarchy.
Just a two word tip.
"It feels like there will be danger." The little mouse lay on his head, staring at the navigation chart for a while, and added: "Listen to that guy, wherever you go, there will be murders, and many people will die."
…
That rascal?
Only the younger brother.
When I first came to this world, I encountered a series of dismemberment cases, followed by a man-made plague, then boarded the Titan, the giant ship that was declared unsinkable sank into the sea, and then a series of strange encounters recently...
Sometimes, Lu Li also felt that he was a walking source of disaster.
"It's not so unlucky."
"Believe me."
With that said, Lu Li put away the navigation chart, raised his hand to grab the gray-haired mouse that cast a questioning look, and walked towards the restaurant.
An escape boat can accommodate hundreds of people, but now only three people and one mouse are staying there. You can imagine how wonderful life is.
And the following storm seemed to be a favor to Lu Li. It did not hit this direction, but just touched the edge...
"Let me tell you, that was just an accident."
After the rain, the sky clears up.
Looking at the clear and cloudless sky, Lu Li poured himself a bottle of fruit wine, then returned to the captain's cabin and began to steer the ship alone.
In this way, time passes day by day.
Along the way, the group encountered many deserted islands that were not marked on the map. Some of them even contained the remains of ancient humans. Lu Li vaguely saw the Holy Light Werewolf, the Cross, and sometimes even the singing Mouse on the murals. turn up.
A dream?
Not quite.
Maybe that Dagon expressed it wrongly.
It is not ruled out that Lu Li misunderstood.
However, now that the matter has come to this, thinking too much is simply torturing oneself, so everyone subconsciously forgets about it and waits until they encounter corresponding situations in the future.
After the storm, day eleven.
"Sure enough, one cannot always have bad luck."
Seeing the giant rocky island in his sight getting further and further away, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, that was the supply station he marked on the navigation chart eleven days ago.
If something unexpected happens, he will be known as the son of misfortune. Fortunately, it turns out that there is no direct connection between him and misfortune.
That resource-based neutral island is full of serious businessmen who are a bit philistine. They sell various minerals at clearly marked prices.
In the end, Lu Li used a fist-sized piece of gold in exchange for high-quality coal enough to sail for fifteen days. Both parties to the transaction were satisfied with each other.
"We have gone through most of the journey safely, and I hope we can continue to maintain this momentum in the future."
Yang Kai held the champagne in his arms. He stayed tipsy every day so that he would not be dominated by negative emotions such as fear and boredom.
Thanks to alcohol, I could sleep well every night, and not once did I dream about the Cthulhu cult and what happened on that island city in the unconscious stage.
In order to avoid any possible accidents, Lu Li had not touched the book published by the University of Michigan for a long time. Sometimes, he suspected that the reason why the Titan was in trouble and the fog suddenly fell was related to the book...
Having not dreamed for a long time, I had a strange dream before the disaster broke out. Before that, the last serious thing I did was to smoke Xingshen tobacco and read forbidden knowledge.
"I've been suffering from joint pain after being exposed to air-conditioning and water mist with thick humidity for a long time..."
On the rudder of the ship, the little mouse raised his head and looked into the distance, with his tail hanging weakly and talking crazy words.
"Drinking again?" Smelling the vague smell, Lu Li said helplessly: "Just hold on for a few more days, and we will go ashore."
"oh."
The gray tail swayed slightly: "Eating cans every day makes me feel good about falling into a long sleep. Xiao Ion, let's continue telling the story. Don't talk about the Japanese chaos in Japan. It makes my head hurt."
"Then tell me, what do you want to hear?"
After speaking, Lu Li took a sip of strong coffee and looked at the sea level in the distance.
Under the setting sun, a line of white seabirds passed by.
