"I am probably the first player in this class to go to an external school for further study. In the past, sometimes the strength of the Eastern system became a personal shortcoming, and sometimes the Western system was unsatisfactory, just like now.
But when facing against creatures and myths, the feeling of powerlessness is always there.
Because of this, it is very necessary and fulfilling to go to the University of Michigan, a legendary institution that specializes in this system, to study.
If this year is not delayed, the shortcomings will be made up after returning to the school. "
“The transport boat arrived smoothly, and after a hearty meal, we took an old-fashioned steam train and wandered to Miskatonic University. Setting up a stop at the school gate helped it slightly restore its somewhat unremarkable image.
Professor Dell, who was in charge of the reception, looked very resolute. He was a handsome old man with gray hair and a neat beard of the same color. Perhaps because he specialized in geography, his temperament was very much like a rock.
We talked in detail in the coffee shop and signed a resurrection document. To be honest, it feels really good to have a backer to walk around outside. I praise the principal.
Because of the privileges I enjoy as an exchange student, I can take any course I am interested in. Of course, there is no need to attend all classes. My energy is limited after all, as long as I can learn something.
In addition, the relationship with his junior high school student has to come to an end for the time being. He must abide by the tradition of the University of Michigan and live in a double dormitory as a freshman to develop social skills...
On the contrary, Miss Mia successfully joined Miskatonic University as a librarian assistant. This is a semi-legendary profession. She will need to undergo rigorous training in the future to ensure that she will not get lost in the endless truth. "
After entering the new school, Lu Li continued the excellent tradition of his school and wrote a diary seriously.
It can also be regarded as leaving a memory for the future.
However, what is slightly different from those in this school is that neither the Bull Demon nor the Black Mane Horse has the habit of peeping into privacy. On the contrary, the little mouse likes to peek into his diary.
It’s a shame that serious people don’t write their true feelings into it.
Gradually, Lu Li got used to it. He wore a small ornament on his head while writing his diary.
“On the first day I officially entered school, when I woke up and looked at the unfamiliar modern-style ceiling, I felt uncomfortable. The golden den and silver den were not as good as my own doghouse.
What's more, the small cave sky is much more spacious than here, with the sun, moon and stars appearing, and the spiritual energy being rich...
Of course, I came to the University of Michigan to learn about taboos and master the best ways to deal with them, not to enjoy life.
Right now, there are still more than ten days left before the official start of school, and there are no classes to attend. So I decided to go to the restaurant to check out the situation, have breakfast, and then go to the library. I should have an answer to many things.
Deep Diver Sliced Rice with Rice?
Looking at the menu that had not yet been removed, I fell into deep thought. It turned out that the legendary investigator reserves here were so heavy-handed.
However, the old aunt in the cafeteria said that these special dishes will no longer be available in the future because many exchange students came during the holidays——
According to my investigation, I am the only one who comes from a different time, space, and world. Other exchange students come from all over the universe and from all races. In order to ensure this? Forget it, let’s refer to them.
Out of emotional considerations, Miskatonic University decided to cancel these foods. After all, many of them have the blood of evil gods.
After eating three simple meals with the magic mice each, go to the library.
This place actually serves drinks!
Well, it's actually a sanity potion. When reading taboo books, you need to ensure that your mental state is normal and stable, otherwise many unpredictable things will happen, most of which are related to weirdness and unknowns.
Since smoking is not prohibited, the Xingshen pipe can participate in the status superposition together..."
"Same as the first day, I learned some very superficial new occult knowledge. Obviously, the cowhide book brought out from the world of Fog City is very extraordinary."
"On the third day, I found something interesting about the sequence."
"Day four, same as above."
…
"On the eleventh day, in addition to learning occult knowledge, I roughly understood the meaning of the so-called sequence. Extraordinary people in modern times turned out to be thieves.
What are those sefirot scattered in outer space? It can't be the flesh and blood of the evil god.
Unfortunately, relevant records are very secretive about this aspect. "
"On the twelfth day, I expanded the new map and found Miss Mia in a secret room on campus. After some inquiries, I was able to roughly confirm that the so-called sun, moon, and even science, which are believed by people, are all caused by Abstract things are made concrete so that they can steal power from the source of matter.
In fact, some Sefirot will actively look for people who are compatible with themselves. Of course, they will also lure some people to embark on this path. The guy who caused panic last time and spread the man-made Pluto plague is proof of this.
However, this barbaric way of promotion by leaps and bounds obviously has side effects. It is easy to lose your mind and become an unknown creature. "
"On the thirteenth day, the University of Michigan officially started classes. Junior students must undergo a semester of preparatory studies before they can become official freshmen after passing the exam. But I chose to audit linguistics first to see how powerful the abilities given by the principal are. …
Introduction to Raleye language.
The lecturer is a communicator who has some characteristics of a deep diver, but mostly in human form.
Unexpectedly, the University of Michigan not only recruited students, but also specially hired teachers.
As for the experimental results: easy to understand. "
After writing a summary for half a day, Lu Li quickly left the classroom with the sleepy little mouse who had not yet fully turned on his computer.
There was no sound during the entire process. Under the influence of the exclusive passive skill [Low-key King's Way], even the hybrid who was teaching did not know that there was one less person in the classroom.
The second target course:
Biological anatomy.
The teacher is a pure-blood human, and the object of dissection is a deformed Cthulhu pagan believer. Before the class, the exchange students with the related blood flowing in their bodies were told that if it conflicts with their own beliefs, they can apply for exemption.
Some exchange students choose to leave.
However, more people stayed.
Lu Li stood in the corner and watched it for a while. He felt that it was too simple. It was all basic stuff. He should consider observing related courses in the third year of college in the future.
at the same time.
The little mouse woke up completely. It grabbed Lu Li's hair and shook it desperately, signaling him to leave the place quickly.
Not because the scene was too bloody, but because there was a ghoul standing next to him——
The humanoid creature has elastic skin like rubber, feet like hooves, a face like a dog, and pointed claws. It speaks in a rapid, crying voice.
Because the body surface is covered with a large amount of fungi, this guy's body odor is extremely serious, far worse than sewers and gutters, so the little mouse with a sensitive sense of smell was immediately awakened and couldn't help but want to escape from the area.
If Lu Li hadn't cut off the connection between his nerves and his sense of smell in time, he would have been very uncomfortable.
So, one person and one mouse left.
"The library is still interesting."
After listening to Lu Li's words, the little mouse who originally thought it was gloomy, depressing, and extremely boring nodded wildly. She was really fed up with the body odor of those despicable star races. Instead of being in the same room with those guys, she would rather lie in Lu Li's hair. Go to sleep and think about your thoughts.
Sleep - eat - library - eat - library - dormitory -
Lu Li actually agrees with this simple rhythm of life. At least studying in the library can guarantee that he will gain something every second.
But after the senior geography class started, the situation changed again.
Even before enrolling, he had made an agreement with Professor Dell and would study with him, similar to the relationship between a graduate and his mentor.
Of course, Lu Li came here for communication. The so-called homework, credits, and even graduation projects, all these miscellaneous things had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Yang Kai was temporarily let go by the University of Michigan, and he had some assumptions, and he thought very worriedly:
If you fail too many exams in the future, you will be arrested by school guards of a strange race and taken to the altar to perform the oldest, bloody, mysterious and violent school sacrifice.
…
Time passes day by day.
By compressing Lu Li's water-filled summary and extracting keywords, the daily life of exchange students can be simplified as follows:
Slightly boring simplicity, as well as enrichment.
“It has been three months since I came to Miskatonic University, and the new semester is almost coming to an end.
As suspected when the semester first started, these old universities with a long history are indeed facing serious aging infrastructure problems. Once heavy rains come, the sewer system becomes ineffective.
The teachers and professors responsible for teaching in universities are still mainly pure-blooded humans, but most of them are elderly and seem to lack new blood.
Perhaps I have always been lucky. Professor Dell, who initially chose based on intuition and experience, is obviously an academic master.
The so-called geography not only involves astronomy, geography, and mysticism, but is also related to ancient magic. The little mouse thinks so too.
However, there are two types of magic.
One is also related to the source of outer space and can be regarded as stealing. However, Sequence people achieve a certain degree of resonance with them through magic potions and their own actions. Magic uses ancient languages to stimulate these less intelligent ones. s things.
The other one is to summon the starry sky races, such as the Fire Essence.
[A kind of flame creature served by the Old One Lord Cthurgya. It possesses elementary wisdom. Once summoned, they will ignite any object they touch]
Probably because it was approaching the end of the term, the graduates under Professor Dell were extremely busy, looking for related topics and starting to study...
According to these guys, the professor is picky and although he will do his best to help students conduct academic research, ordinary topics are not paid attention to by him at all. Only those who challenge difficult and new fields and make breakthroughs can be qualified to succeed. After graduation, he joined the ranks of investigators and dealt with the truth of the universe. "
"However, where there is strictness there is also slackness."
"A considerable number of professors are keen on paddling, and they also have part-time courses that collect credits. It is relatively difficult to study under them and complete graduation.
Because of this, the students on Professor Dell's side, regardless of race, all agreed that if they had a different instructor, they could easily get the certificate, become an official investigator, explore taboos, and become a legend. "
The pen closes.
After three months, the only change in Lu Li's appearance was that his hair was a little longer, so the little mouse could play hide-and-seek games by himself.
"It's better to be strict, otherwise, you may not even know how you died."
After sighing, Lu Li cleared the table, stuffed various courseware into his backpack and walked towards the classroom.
On the way to class, he thought of his school.
They are really two completely different teaching models.
The former is more complex in learning and is extremely efficient. After all, he will not die no matter what; the latter is more bookish and has a shadow of a normal college.
Seeking knowledge building.
Classroom F2001.
The moment Lu Li entered with his pet rat in hand, countless eyes gathered.
The reason why I say countless is because a certain classmate has hundreds or thousands of eyes. Yes, he comes from the depths of the starry sky, a race called space fillers.
In addition, there are also many strange classmates sitting here, including Migo who looks like a fungus, and the Xagai Zerg whose body is covered with carapace and whose pupils are dark green... But without exception, they are having a headache for graduation.
Therefore, Lu Li, an "idler" who has no pressure, considerable fighting ability, and broad knowledge, is very popular.
A female classmate who believed in [Diendra the Perfect] and whose appearance completely matched the aesthetics of normal humans, once wanted to get help from him on her own terms.
However, Lu Li has read many books and knows what [Diendra the Perfect] is:
Many classics record that she is an incredibly beautiful female deity who lives in a dark palace in the starry sky.
The ancient cowhide book provided more taboo inside information. In that palace, there were countless mirrors, which vaguely projected her true appearance——
A black hole with tentacles stretching out.
Giant squid.
A dark mist with millions of teeth.
"Have you thought about it carefully? Do you want to help me?"
The beauty at the next table winked.
"Brother, don't be fooled by boring and low-level tastes. Come study the origin of all things and the core of primitive chaos with me." A classmate with Xagai Zerg descent warmly invited.
The little mouse thought that Lu Li should come later so that he wouldn't have to be pestered.
Just then, the school bell rang.
Mr. Dale, professor of geography, walked in quickly, and for a moment, there was silence.
Lu Li found his own place and sat down quietly. The little mouse also became attentive and turned his attention to this handsome little old man.
After all, he is a erudite elder who is both serious and humorous, and can often come up with some mysterious items to complement his teachings.
"After completing the teaching content of the last class, I will devote myself to guiding you to complete your graduation thesis. Please open the courseware now."
"I have to check my homework."
Although Lu Li did not need to participate in the assessment, he still actively participated in it.
I saw a large stack of neatly bound manuscript papers taken out of my backpack. It was densely filled with various complex calculation formulas, as well as star maps drawn by high-precision machinery.
"Every time I see the analytical diagrams and astrophysics formulas you drew, I feel like I'm appreciating a work of art. It's very good."
The professor placed Lu Li's first stop and did not hesitate to praise him.
