"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Miskatonic University, the pride of Arkham."
"Look, the clear river on your right is the Miskatonic River, named after the university, everyone agrees."
The sea fog has completely dissipated, and in a small town some distance away from the coastline, open-top tourist carriages are slowly driving along the road.
There are various scenery along the way, especially the forest, which is lush and green, which makes Lu Li and others who have seen enough polar snow scenes and the vast ocean feel comfortable.
The little mouse excitedly made a nest in Lu Li's hair, crawling out from time to time to look around. Although it had lived here for a long time, this time was different.
"Thank you for your hard work. Is it dangerous?"
"no."
"Lying, then why do only these few people come back?"
"..."
Lu Li was speechless. He wanted to tell the truth that he was strong enough and the members were too weak, but considering that this was not very polite, he did not answer.
This caused the little mouse to misunderstand again, and she became even more moved. After all, this trip brought her back the ancient magic potion that turned her back into a human, and the quantity and weight were enough for dozens of experiments.
On the side, the lucky student finally returned to land. After seeing the relatively safe U-M, he completely relaxed and was not attracted by the scenery. Instead, he yawned listlessly and lay on the soft car seat. The person sank directly in, looking extremely lazy.
Professor Dell listened to the introduction with great interest.
Apparently, they were part of a tourist team.
This is a tradition of the University of Michigan that has been implemented for thirty or forty years. It is open to the outside world every spring to allow the outside world to freely visit the institution of higher learning.
"Everyone, please move your eyes a little and look at the place where I am pointing. Do you see that tall building? This is the first library built by the academy and is world-renowned. It contains a huge collection of ancient classics."
"According to rumors, to this day, professors are still counting the rare and unique books they have in their collections. Even their history students have to take a scientific examination before graduating."
"Look at the roses on the wall that are embedded in the red bricks. They have some history."
The guide spoke enthusiastically: "It's true that you can visit freely, but you are only allowed to stand outside and look at it. If you want to find those unknown mysteries, I suggest you raise your offspring well. If he is good enough, he will receive a message from you." Invitation letter from the University of Michigan.”
Lu Li shook his head secretly.
Foreign tourists probably haven’t read the local newspapers, which all have columns reporting on the deaths that happen every day on the University of Michigan campus.
In other words.
Every day, students and even lecturers with low professional titles encounter misfortunes because they violate taboos.
If you can persist until graduation, you will have to participate in some dangerous scientific expeditions. Just like this time, among the seven senior students who need to conduct fieldwork and write thesis, only one of them, regardless of race, returned by chance, and is still in self-isolation. closed state.
"In comparison, our acting school is still comfortable. Although there are various reasons for receiving lunch boxes, even in normal teaching, we can always be revived."
Lu Li felt this.
The little mouse asked curiously: "Can you take me to play?"
"No, outsiders cannot enter."
Lu Li was helpless unless this guy was willing to continue being a little mouse.
If you sneak in in mouse form first, and then change back to human form...
Don't even think about it. How could the principal allow this bug to get stuck if he is so smart?
"Then what should I do after you end the communication?"
"Continue to follow Miss Mia, and I will definitely have a chance to see you again in the future. Don't worry, I will go back to school, and I won't disappear permanently."
"All right."
While one person and one mouse were communicating, the guide began a new introduction and said enthusiastically:
"Now, we have arrived at the restaurant of the University of Michigan. For a long time in the past, various dark dishes have been provided here, including those of the cosmic races. There is nothing that the college chefs cannot cook. If there is, it must be because there is not enough seasoning. .”
"Unfortunately, as a large number of cosmic races send students to study and communicate, these unique dishes have gradually disappeared."
"Who is hungry? You can go down and order food. Next we will go to the faculty area of Miskatonic University, where there are some students from deep space waiting to be interviewed about foreign civilizations."
Hearing this, Lu Li and others got out of the car.
In fact, they chose this tour group after they saw at the pier that the facilities of this tour group were relatively luxurious and comfortable, and that it was directly connected to the main campus of the University of Michigan.
"Let's eat first? It's been a long time since I've eaten in the U-M cafeteria. I miss it very much."
Lu Li carried the suitcase and stretched.
The little mouse lay on top of him, squinting in the sun.
"Honestly, how does UM compare with the food at your college?" Professor Dell asked curiously.
"If you really want to hear the truth...just don't listen."
In the performance school restaurant, free food includes but is not limited to a variety of common rare ingredients.
The reason why common and rare are combined together is because there are also rare and rare ingredients. As long as you are willing to use the learning points and evaluation cards, you can even enjoy dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and eating ancient delicacies is even easier.
"Professor, I want to go back to the dormitory to rest."
"Go on... just remember to pay attention to the school announcements recently. Don't stop drinking the rationality potion, especially before going to bed."
at the same time.
In a quiet corner of the library lined with bookshelves, there was a young man with messy hair taking large gulps of sanity potion and struggling to look away from the ancient books.
"It's too difficult. I'm embarrassing the time traveler again, wuwuwu."
"But it's not a big problem. Diligence can make up for weakness. Among all the preparatory students, I am the only one who is so serious."
"Classmate Yang, let's go eat."
A gentle voice came from behind.
Hearing the sound, he saw a tall girl with an unbelievably delicate face standing in front of the bookshelf, and a prismatic scale growing on her forehead, indicating that she was not a pure-blood human.
In fact, the atmosphere at the University of Michigan is becoming more and more open, and beautiful female students from the human race are no longer popular. As a time traveler who dares to be the first, Yang Kai will naturally not fall behind.
"Come on, let's go to the restaurant."
The two hugged each other and left the library.
The sun is bright.
In the courtyard outside the museum, there are many strange statues, such as gargoyles, Squidward with wings on his back, deformed snake men, twisted worms...
At first glance, it seems to have a low sanity value, but after getting familiar with it, I don’t think so anymore. It feels weirdly cute.
Not long after.
An exclamation came from the restaurant. Yang Kai gave up on his girlfriend and stepped forward to hug Lu Li:
"Senior! When did you come back?"
Then he pulled his beautiful girlfriend over and introduced her warmly.
Environment can really change people.
After not seeing each other for a few months, my little brother became more and more outgoing.
"Professor Dell, long time no see."
"Long time no see. Student Yang, you are becoming more and more energetic. It seems that you are very accustomed to the rhythm of UM. You may be my student in the future."
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course, as long as you are willing to work hard and persist in exploring the truth while maintaining your sanity."
Land from:"……"
little mouse:"……"
During a scientific examination, six of the seven direct students died, and one survived and was autistic for a long time.
Maybe next time I return to this world, this fellow time traveler will have already received a lunch box, and the grass on his grave will be waist-high.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely stick to it. I'll excuse you for a while and buy some wine first."
