"And then you bought this notebook?" Sawada Yayin asked with a smile.

Shimazu Nakano nodded and said: "That's right, Eric's other collections are like that in my eyes, but this notebook is quite attractive to me, because those expeditions organized by Miskatonic University will not disclose their experiences and gains to the public no matter what the results are, so if you want to know what these expeditions have experienced, you can either talk to the members of the expedition team, or just take a look at such a notebook, So I actually have a couple of notes from Miskatonik University. ”

Speaking of this, Shimazu Nakano suddenly sighed, showed an expression of reminiscence of the past, and said: "If I hadn't become the successor of the Shimazu family back then, then there is a good chance that I would go to Miskatonik University to study mystology, because I had already received an admission letter from Miskatonik University at that time, but as the next head of the Shimazu family, I couldn't leave the island country, so I could only choose to give up this opportunity to go to Miskatonik University." ”

Hearing Shimazu Nakano say this, Liu Xing and the others were surprised, because Liu Xing and others did not expect that Shimazu Nakano would be admitted to the Department of Occultism of Miskatonic University that year, you must know that Miskatonik University can be said to be the undisputed number one university in this parallel world, and it has always pursued the principle of not indiscriminately, so many majors admit individual students all year round, especially occultism.

The reason why the occult is called the occult is naturally because it is very mysterious to ordinary people, and 99 percent of ordinary people will never be able to come into contact with the real occult content in their lifetime, and as for the one percent of ordinary people who have the opportunity to come into contact with the occult content, 99 percent will never be able to be human again.

Of course, the most important thing is that occultism has not formed a relatively complete system like other majors, so when admitting students, the occult major at Miskatonic University only looks at the interview results, and the interview here is not only to test your knowledge of common mythological creatures such as ghouls and shogues, but also to ask you for your opinions on some famous people in history, such as Ibon, Al-Hasad, etc.

Finally, the final topic of the occult major - simulation operation!

According to a post made by a bigwig who has been promoted to the Cthulhu region, it is mentioned that when interviewing students for the occult major, as long as the student can pass the interview, he will be arranged to conduct a so-called simulation operation, and the location of the simulation operation is in the back mountain of Miskatonic University, where there is a cave that only occult students and professors can enter, and a large number of magic props are placed in this cave. And these magic props were brought back from the birth and death of the expedition team organized by Miskatonic University for so many years... Of course, in addition to those magic items, there are also many mythical creatures brought back by the expedition team in this cave.

Therefore, the simulation of the occult major requires the applicant to take out a specific type of magic prop from the cave, and it is worth mentioning here that Miskatonic University does not arrange for medical students and teachers to be on standby outside the cave.

As a result, occult majors generally have only a 30 percent pass rate and a 70 percent accidental death or injury rate.

Fortunately, the occult students who come to apply for the Miskatonic University are very "reasonable", so so far no parents of students have come to Miskatonic University to ask for an "explanation".

From this point of view, Shimazu Nakano was indeed a ruthless character back then, otherwise he would not have been able to get an admission letter for the occult major at Miskatonik University.

"Alas, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, at that time, I was still reluctant to have the vanity in my heart, and I was reluctant to be the head of the Shimazu family, so over the years, I often asked my friends to go to that bar to buy items related to the occult, especially this kind of notebook, but the most important thing is that this notebook records a lot of content about the island country, in addition to the kingdom of Tyndaros that once appeared in Ziwu City, it also involves the legendary Huangquan Kingdom." Shimazu Nakano said seriously.

"Huangquan Kingdom?!"

Sawada Yayin couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be that the Yellow Spring Kingdom is real?" How is this possible? ”

Shimazu Nakano shook his head and said with a smile: "How is that impossible, since Princess Taketori is real, then the legendary ancient gods like Amaterasu and Yaki Orochi, and mythical creatures are of course real, so of course the places that appear in mythology in Huangquan Country are not made up casually, but these locations are not in the real world." ”

Sawada Yayin nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Mr. Nakano, do you mean that a place like Huangquan Province is located in a fantasy dream?" ”

"That's right, the country of Huangquan is indeed located in the realm of dreams, and there are still many ancient gods living in the country of Huangquan, of course, the country of Huangquan is just the name of our island country, if it is replaced by the Chinese people, it should be called the heavenly court, and the people in Europe may call it the Garden of Eden, because the ancient gods who live there are also from all over the world." Shimazu Nakano said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Xing and others also came to the spirit.

Seeing that Liu Xing and the others were curious, Shimazu Nakano continued: "According to Eric's notes, he followed Professor Frank to participate in an expedition five years ago, and this expedition originally planned to go to a small island in the Pacific Ocean to investigate, because this small island occasionally releases a very special electromagnetic wave, which will interfere with all electronic instruments within a radius of 100 miles, so from time to time there will be planes and equipment on ships that fail. There is no big problem if the equipment fails for a while, as long as the island stops releasing electromagnetic waves, or the ship leaves the interference range of electromagnetic waves, it will be fine, but the plane will be in trouble when it encounters this electromagnetic wave, so in that sea area there are often planes missing, or directly crashed, one of the most famous plane disappearances is Amelia. Earhart's disappearance. ”

Amelia. Earhart?

Hearing this name, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Earhart is the most famous female pilot in history, setting many records, and the reason why Liu Xing knows this is because when she was in college, a female classmate often mentioned Earhart as her idol, and later this female classmate really changed to become a female pilot.

And when Sawada Yayin heard the name Earhart, his expression was exactly the same as Liu Xing's, "Earhart?" She is one of my few idols, and it was because I heard about her deeds in junior high school that I went to Hawaii to learn to fly an airplane during the summer vacation. But then again, Earhart did disappear in the Pacific Ocean as well, and the main reason for her disappearance was that the plane she was piloting was malfunctioning and could not receive nearby communication signals, so she could not find the intended landing site in the endless sea. ”

"That's right, Earhart's plane was affected by the electromagnetic waves released from that small island, which caused the plane's instruments to receive communication signals to malfunction, and some other instruments also had more or less problems, so Earhart's plane completely deviated from the original flight path, and finally crashed on that small island - Earhart Island, yes, because that island was originally just a nameless island in the Pacific Ocean, so the expedition team found something unusual about that island, After the discovery of the wreckage of Earhart's plane, the island was named Earhart Island. ”

However, because Earhart was a national idol back then, her crash was rumored to be in a big way back then, so now she has to be cold-treated, after all, those ordinary people would rather believe that Earhart's plane encountered aliens, and it is unlikely that an uninhabited island will send electromagnetic waves to the surroundings from time to time, of course, some people will think that this uninhabited island is the masterpiece of aliens, so the Earhart crash is still an unsolved mystery. Because those in the know don't know how to explain it reasonably. ”

"As for why this island sends electromagnetic waves from time to time, after the investigation of Eric and others, an ancient outpost was discovered, most of the devices of this outpost have failed, but there is a device used to shield the signals around the outpost but it is good and bad, so this device will send an electromagnetic wave with a shielding effect from time to time; Most importantly, Eric didn't find the remains of Earhart and the other pilot at first, and the plane didn't suffer too much damage when it landed. ”

So, Eric and the others thought that Earhart and the other pilot, at least one of them, should have lived in this outpost for a while, so they decided to conduct another carpet search in the outpost, wanting to bring the remains of Earhart and the other pilot back to Miskatonic University by the way, and then they accidentally found a door to the dream in this outpost, and at the same time they did not find the remains of Earhart and the other pilot, However, some traces of the two of their lives were discovered, as well as a clue to their entry into the dream realm - Earhart's diary. ”

"The content of this diary is very simple, recording that after the plane crash-landed on this small island, Earhart also found this futuristic outpost by chance, which shocked Earhart and the other pilot, and then after making sure that there were no aliens in the outpost, they lived in this outpost, but it didn't take long for them to find the door of the dream world, and the other pilot never came out after entering the dream world, So after Elhart finished his last diary, he entered the door of the dream... Obviously, Earhart is also gone. ”

"I believe everyone can guess the next story, because those expeditions of Miskatonic University are famous for not being afraid of death, so Eric and the others did not hesitate to enter the dream realm, and as a result, they found a city, the city is full of humans from all over the world, and these people will use a language called human language to communicate, but the most important thing is that Eric and others found Earhart, you must know that Earhart should be a centenarian at this time, But because this is a dreamland, Earhart still looks exactly like he did back then. ”

When Earhart learned that Eric and the others had found this place in order to investigate the mystery of her disappearance, he warmly received Eric and the others, and told Eric and the others about the city; This city is called the World City, because the city was built by gods from all over the world, yes, the Yellow Springs Kingdom is behind the World City, but it is separated by a layer of barriers, so the humans of the World City cannot enter the Yellow Springs Country under normal circumstances, but if the World City is attacked by the surrounding mythical creatures, then the ancient gods in the Yellow Springs Kingdom will help. ”

"As for why there are humans from all over the world in the World City, it is because there are hundreds of Dream Gates around the World City, you must know that under normal circumstances, there will only be one Dream Gate in an area of the Dream City, so Eric and others speculate that these Dream Gates were brought by those ancient gods so that they can return to their hometown at any time; As for the map of Yellow Springs that Eric drew in his notebook, it was drawn by several humans who were lucky enough to enter Yellow Springs, but I think the completion of this map needs to be considered. ”

Shimazu Nakano took a sip of water, shook his head and sighed: "There is a rule in the World City, that is, the humans who enter the World City either choose to stay in the World City, or after returning to the real world, they will never be able to step into the World City again, and pass through the Dream Gate around the World City, and the Dream Gate they have entered and exited will be permanently closed, so it is impossible for us to go to the World City through the Dream Gate on Earhart Island... It's a pity, I originally planned to go to the city of the world to retire after passing on the position of head of the family to Shimazu Hiromichi. ”

Hearing Shimazu Nakano say this, two words instantly appeared in Liu Xing's mind.

Hehe.
