Chapter 1046: Things Are Not Good
In Liu Xing's impression, Alice's master still has many friends, and these friends are all over the world and all walks of life.
"My master does have a lot of friends, because when he was a professor at Miskatonik University, he often went to other colleges, so he made a lot of capable friends... In addition, you also know the situation of Miskatonic University, there are many strange people gathered next to the school, and there are even many mythical creatures hidden, so my master sometimes likes to go to the most famous tavern next to Miskatonik University, the Ghoul Tavern, to sit down, so my master really has more social contacts than you think. Alice said with a shrug.
Liu Xing smiled and said, "It seems that Alice, your master is also a courtesan, no wonder you can talk and laugh with so many different types of people and mythical creatures, I have to say a word of admiration." ”
Alice glanced at Liu Xing, and said with a smile: "Liu Xing, don't be weird here, my master's character is born like this, even if it was in danger, he didn't forget to joke with us students, and to be honest, in terms of the general environment of Miskatonik University, it is difficult for you to know those people, after all, they are full of you." ”
Alice paused, and continued: "By the way, the ghoul bar I just mentioned, if you have the opportunity to go to Miskatonik University in the future, don't forget to visit there, you will definitely have a big reward." ”
Liu Xing nodded and asked curiously, "Of course, the bar is the best place to inquire about the surrounding news; Since this bar is called the Ghoul Bar, the manager of the bar must be a ghoul, right? ”
Alice shook her head with a smile, and said with some sighs: "Liu Xing, you are wrong, the owner of this ghoul bar is not a ghoul, but a deep diver hybrid from Innsmouth, but the most important thing is that it is actually a spiritual ghoul." ”
"Huh? Spiritual ghouls? What kind of operation is this? Liu Xing said in surprise.
Sun Huiwen on the side frowned, and said in the same surprise: "This is not scientific, there are many spiritual foreigners among our human beings, this is because even if he admits it publicly, he will be scolded at most, but these mythical creatures have old rulers watching at their heads, even if Cthulhu is still sleeping at the bottom of the sea, Dagon and Xudra are nowhere to be found, the deep diver clan still has a nominal leader, and each tribe and city also has its own leader, so this deep diver has not been hunted down by the rivers and lakes?" ”
Alice took out a copper badge from her pocket, and this badge has a Q version of the ghoul image on it, but the ghoul image here refers to the ghoul in the eyes of ordinary people, which can be directly referenced to the ghoul in Warcraft 3.
"This is the memento of the Ghoul Bar, yes, this boss doesn't like the ghouls we usually deal with, but the skinless monsters with huge bone claws and terrifying appearances in the eyes of ordinary people; Interestingly, although the owner of the bar was born in the small town of Innsmouth, his mother died of illness when he was a year old, and he was taken in by his uncle, who hated the divers. ”
"But the most important thing is that the uncle of the bar owner has a good brother who is a graduate student in occult science at Miskatonic University, so they smuggled the bar owner out of Innsmouth and settled next to Miskatonic University, so as to ensure that Innsmouth will not send a lot of people to trouble them, after all, Miscatonik University is also famous, even the mythical creature tribe has to be polite to them."
"So, the bar owner didn't know his identity until he automatically became a ghoul, but he didn't know if it was the blood of mythical creatures in his body that caused him to be very fascinated by those mysterious things, and he liked to read all kinds of myths and legends from the beginning of his literacy, and then he naturally became an amateur occultist, and when he had nothing to do, he went to his uncle's friend to secretly read some occult books, and his uncle's friend was already a lecturer at Miskatonic."
"In this way, the bar owner became obsessed with ghouls after reading a lot of occult books, because he thought ghouls were very cool, but because those occult books either had no pictures or were very abstract, so he took those game ghouls as real ghouls, and finally even though he had become a deep diver, he still insisted that he was a ghoul, and turned the original name of the bar, Innsmouth Night, into a ghoul."
Liu Xing touched his nose and said with a smile: "So that bar owner is quite interesting, he still firmly believes that he is a ghoul after learning his true identity, but it's no wonder that Innsmouth didn't send someone to trouble him, because he didn't want to be a real ghoul." ”
"Yes, the ghoul that the bar owner wants to be is just the ghoul in his mind, and the image of this ghoul comes from a mess of occult books, you must only know that 90% of the occult books are made up, the author has never seen real mythical creatures, not even fanatics, these occult books are the product of their addition to the various legends they have heard."
"As for the remaining 10 percent, 90 percent of the occult books are written by a group of people who have only been in contact with fanatics, or simply by fanatics themselves, although there are still a lot of real experiences and what they have seen and heard, but the spirit of those fanatical believers is not normal, so these occult books are just a pleasure for people like us; Of course, the last part of the occult books can be said to be memoirs written by people like us. Alice said with a smile.
As soon as Alice's words fell, Sun Huiwen said suspiciously: "Oh? So what are the likes of "The King in Yellow", "The Book of Necrons" and "The Book of Ebon"? ”
"It's all beyond the realm of the occult, isn't it? I think these books should be classified as magic books. ”
Liu Xing hurried in front of Alice and said, "And those magic books are basically impossible to wander among the people. ”
Alice nodded and spoke, "As far as I know, there are many versions of magic books in Miskatonic University, and there are even legendary original and unique books, but these magic books have been sealed into another dimensional space. ”
Liu Xing touched his chin and said on a whim: "By the way, there should be Isis people in Miskatonic University, right?" So can the Isis copy those magic books in batches? After all, most magic books are just ordinary carriers, and they don't have any special abilities of their own. ”
Alice couldn't help but glance at Liu Xing again, shook her head and said: "Liu Xing, you are a little whimsical, you must know that the relationship between the Isis and us humans can be said to be very general, although the vast majority of the Isis people will not do anything to us humans, but they basically will not communicate with us humans, at most they are some interest transactions, so from ancient times to the present, the number of cooperation between the Isis people and humans does not exceed three digits, and the beneficiaries of these cooperation are all their Isi people." ”
"Let's just put it this way, I think those Isis are refined egoists, they will only do things for their own interests, so in the last few collaborations I know, the last ones who have benefited are the Isis, and it would be good for the Yisi people to have a sip of soup in the cooperation, because more collaborators will be betrayed by the Isis, after all, they are the chips that the Isis prepared from the beginning, and the most important thing is that we can't cure them, as long as something happens, they will run faster than anyone else."
Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything about it... Although Liu Xing himself was pitted very miserably by the Isis people.
It seems that in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, the Isis are a pit.
"Back to the point, my master is a VIP customer in the ghoul bar, and he has a close relationship with many old fritters who have been hanging out at Miskatonik University for decades, so if you can go to Miskatonik University in the future, you can use this badge to order a cappucciro at the ghoul bar, and then you can know what you want to know, but these things are limited to what happens at Miskatonik University."
Alice said as she handed the badge to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing took the badge with some surprise, looked at Alice and said, "Uh, Alice, don't you keep this badge for yourself?" After all, this is what your master gave you, and if we want to go to Miskatonic University in the future, we should call you to go with us, so it's better for you to hold this badge yourself. ”
Alice shook her head, and said helplessly: "This is Liu Xing, you don't know, the reason why my master resigned from Miskatonik University and returned to England to start his own business is that there is a very serious conflict between my master and the current president of Miskatonik University, although my master was not dismissed but resigned voluntarily, but because of this incident, there was a lot of uproar at Miskatonik University, and there were too many people who ate melons. That's why Master forbade us to go to Miskatonik University, lest others think that he was cowardly. ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Alice's master to love face so much, and he was very resentful, after all, more than 20 years should have passed since this incident.
However, at this time, Liu Xing's afterglow saw that Sun Huiwen wanted to speak and stopped.
"Sun Huiwen, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xing asked suspiciously.
Sun Huiwen looked at Alice, and after seeing that Alice didn't say anything, he said cautiously: "If I'm not mistaken, the current president of Miskatonik University is a woman who once served as the head of the Department of Occultism. ”
Hearing Sun Huiwen say this, Liu Xing's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Oh, if you say that... ”
Liu Xing wanted to speak and stopped, because Alice was looking at him with a smile.
Liu Xing decisively chose to shut up.
But then Siris pushed the door in and said, "It turns out that Alice, your master is Professor Randall." ”
Alice frowned, and said with a look of surprise: "How do you know my master's real name, Siris?" Haven't you just come out of the Soul Box a few years ago? How do you know what happened so many years ago. ”
Liu Xing also looked at Siris with a surprised face, but he didn't expect Siris to know who Alice's master was, and it seemed that Alice's master had changed his name because of something... Of course, the most likely possibility for Master Alice to change her name is to avoid someone or something.
There are a lot of twists and turns.
Ciris shrugged his shoulders, closed the office door and said, "Because this is the last class of the morning, I will leave this class early, and as soon as I come back, I will hear you talking about Alice's master; The reason why I know about Master Alice is because I went to Miskatonik University before I came to Duwangcho, and I needed to go to Miskatonik to ask for some help, some help that can only be obtained at Miskatonik University, so I had some cooperation with the current president of Miskatonik University, and we became good friends, and then I heard some interesting things from my good friends. ”
When Liu Xing heard Siris say "interesting things", Liu Xing knew that Alice's master, Randall, and the current president of Miskatonic University had an emotional dispute nine times out of ten.
That's where it gets interesting.
Liu Xing and Sun Huiwen both looked at Alice and Sirius with gossipy faces, hoping that one of them could "answer questions" for themselves.
It's a pity that Alice and Siris reached a consensus with their eyes very tacitly, and then avoided the topic together.
"Let's go, it's time for us to leave school now, but then again, haven't Li Hanxing and Wang Haiyang come back yet?" Cialis looked at his phone and said, "They must have been walking for almost two hours now, right?" ”
Liu Xing and the others all frowned, because after such a reminder from Ciris, Liu Xing and the others also realized that Li Hanxing had been away for almost two hours.
This is not good news, because the back and forth between Duwangcho Middle School and the manor only takes half an hour at most, and Li Hanxing and Wang Haiyang only need to take something to return, so even if Li Hanxing can delay the time, it can be delayed for half an hour at most, so Li Hanxing should have come back a long time ago, and no matter how bad it is, he should send a message to himself and others.
