Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Chests

Chevrolet drove on the wide stone road between the colleges, Lin Nian looked at the medieval-style buildings through the car window, the white doves rose and fell on the churches in the woods in the distance, the blonde and blue-eyed foreign students could occasionally be seen walking on the cobblestone paths, and the melodious sound of the bell tower was heard throughout the college in an unknown place, and for a moment he finally had a sense of being in a foreign country.

Mandy drove slowly around the academy in a Chevrolet, chatting and gossiping as she drove, introducing Lin Nian and Lin Xian to the history and layout of the academy.

They were now passing through a square, the green lawn was all over the circle, and the color was refreshing, which made Lin Nian think of the artificial turf in the football field of Shilan High School, which was not at the same level as the current turf.

"Bermuda lawns, a hybrid grass species developed in 1965, are characterized by cold and drought resistance, and are evergreen all year round. Mandy looked sideways out the window: "Do you see the building in the middle of the square?" ”

Lin Nian looked in the direction that Mandy said, and in the center of the square stood an ancient Byzantine building, at first glance it was blood-red, the pattern of the World Tree was carved on the outer wall, and there was a statue of a heroic rooster at the top.

"That's Valhalla, this square is called Odin Square, our academy has a strong Norse mythological style, and you can often see buildings named after it." Mandy looked at Valhalla in the distance: "Valhalla will only be opened once a school year for the issuance of graduation certificates, and I hope that next year I can also stand in it and be read by the headmaster." ”

"As long as you don't fail at the end of the semester." Manstein glanced at Fingal, who was pretending to be dead in the back seat.

"I'll just send you to the dorm or whatever." Mandy's fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly.

"You don't have classes in the afternoon, do you?" Manstein asked.

"Yes, today's lesson is over!" Mandy raised her eyebrows, her face was relaxed, but she unconsciously glanced at Manstein's thoughtful eyes on the side, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and changed her words: "Uh... But I'm going to go to the student council party at the Norton Pavilion in a moment..."

"Okay, you and Fingal help move Lin Nian and Lin Xian's salute to the dormitory."

"Wow, don't, Mentor Manstein, you're squeezing labor." Mandy's face immediately brushed down.

"We'll take our stuff ourselves." Lin Xian waved his hand.

"No, you two have more important things to do, besides, Mandy, it's time for you to lose weight, your Bajiquan teacher in physical education class told me that you have exercised too little and your body fat percentage has reached a 'dangerous' level." Manstein finalized the itinerary with a single sentence and gave Mandy a small warning.

"Nope! I only got on the scale yesterday, but 95 pounds haven't broken 100 yet! You're taking revenge on me for not letting you eat high-calorie food when you're on a business trip! Mandy's face was full of grief and indignation.

"That's it, I said I didn't deal much with that Caesar Gattuso from the student council, and now the school climate is affected by him, and at least three or four times a week we get noise complaints at night from the Discipline Committee! One night we caught him taking the lead in pouring champagne into the public pool! Afterwards, the pool was frozen and cracked! Manstein was furious when he spoke of this Caesar Gattuso.

Mandy saw that the angry mentor had to shut up pitifully, Manstein was already a little high blood pressure, and if she was stimulated again, she would have to be numb when she collapsed.

As a result, after Fingal, she also became a mule carrying luggage, and Fingal was not at all dissatisfied with this, nodding violently behind her back, and the image of flattering the Discipline Commission was shameless.

"Driving to the counseling room, let's go see Instructor Masashi Toyama first, if I'm not mistaken, he should have something ready to wait for us there." Manstein said.

"I think it's time for me to do some psychological counseling, I'm so tired." Mandy said weakly turning the head of the car.

After ten minutes of driving, Chevrolet stopped in front of a Gothic building, and Lin Nian got out of the car and looked up at the building, which was significantly smaller than the towering Goethe buildings seen in the movie, and the renovated modern elements were incorporated, and the lines were softer, with the curtain of the third floor open and the flowers flying outward.

"I actually feel like the buildings in this school look pretty much the same." Lin Nian said to Lin Xian, who got out of the car and walked to his side: "I think I will definitely get lost in this school in the future." ”

"You've always been a bit of a road idiot." Lin Xian nodded: "I still remember the last time you ran three blocks to buy soy sauce and got lost." ”

"It was an accident, I hadn't been there in years." Lin Nian was a little embarrassed to be brought up about the old thing.

"Let's go, Lin Nian, the evidence you want is here." Manstein closed the door, and Chevrolet left with Fingal and Mandy away.

"Looks like you guys guessed that I wouldn't take your word for it easily, so you prepared the 'evidence' in advance?" Lin Nian followed Manstein into the door, and there were many reliefs on the door, and the more inward they went, the more layered they became, as if there was a strong attraction that made them speed up their pace.

"Most of our students actually have a half-breed family background, and have been influenced by similar knowledge since childhood, such as the gentleman Caesar Gattuso we talked about earlier, and they are very natural to accept the dragon culture when they enter school. But there are also some students like you, who live in a normal society before entering the school, and it is indeed not easy for them to accept the truth about dragons at once. Professor Manstein led Lin Nian straight up to the third floor, stood in front of a door, looked back at him before pushing the door open, and said, "So at this time, we will prepare some very impactful evidence to show them." ”

Manstein pushed open the door, and behind it was a quaintly decorated study, with crystal chandeliers, cumbersome and aesthetically pleasing straight, bookcases full of books around the walls, and a white wool carpet spread in the middle of the study, where a long solid wood table stood by a smiling Asian man.

"Professor Manstein." The Asian man bowed when he saw Professor Manstein.

"I'm sorry for you this time, Instructor Masashi Toyama." Manstein brought Lin Nian and Lin Xian into the room, dragged down the coat and hung it on the coat rack.

"These two are 'A' class freshmen and the trainees who are going to follow me, right? My name is Masashi Toyama, Japanese, and I am a counselor at the college. Masashi Toyama also bowed respectfully to Lin Xian and Lin Nian, his attitude was so good that Lin Nian was a little uncomfortable, he didn't bow but just reached out and shook the other party.

"Hello Instructor Masashi Toyama, I'm Lin Xian, it's the first time we've met, and I'll ask for a lot of advice in the future." Lin Xian also smiled politely and shook hands with Masashi Toyama to say hello, if there is no accident, Manstein is the assistant of the Japanese man in front of her because the position she won is her future superior.

"I received your resume when I was in school, and I also read your paper on the website, I have to say that with Miss Lin Xian's resume when she was studying, it is enough to study for a graduate degree in any medical university, and it is a pity that she only ended her studies in college." Masashi Toyama's attitude towards Lin Xian was extremely polite, and he did not have the arrogance of his superiors and subordinates at all, but seemed to be particularly praised.

Lin Nian quietly looked at Lin Xian with his spare eyes, and muttered in his heart, as a younger brother, he only knew that his eldest sister was also legendary in college, but he didn't expect that he could be so legendary that he could be touted by the faculty members in a place like Kassel Academy.

"It's not an achievement, those papers are just conjectures, and there is no actual experimental argument, if Mr. Masashi Toyama had read my papers, he would have known that there would be some ethical problems if those experiments were to be implemented." Lin Xian bowed her head slightly and said modestly, she will be extraordinarily mature when facing socialization, and she is completely two people at home and outside the home, which is actually similar to Lin Nian's personality in some places.

"Ahem, Instructor Masashi Toyama, I think you should have brought what I wanted." Professor Manstein saw that the two of them had talked too deeply, so he couldn't help coughing twice to remind him.

"Oh yes, of course I haven't forgotten that I specifically requested to borrow these three things from the archives, and Norma reminded me that I had to return them by midnight today." Teacher Masashi Toyama woke up like a dream, took out three black lockboxes from his feet and placed them flat on the wooden table beside him, and after unlocking the password locks respectively, he gave way and motioned Lin Nian to open the boxes by himself.

"Go Lin Nian, these are the evidence you want." Manstein said.

Looking at the encouraging eyes of Professor Manstein and Masashi Toyama, Lin Nian looked at Lin Xian again, licked his lips, and walked forward to stand in front of the three lockboxes, he hesitated for a moment to consider which box he should open first.

"I suggest you open it in order from left to right." Masashi Toyama reminded.

"Will it be dangerous?" Lin Nian held down the lockbox on the far left, glanced at Lin Xian behind him, and asked Masashi Toyama.

"No, it's just that there will be some impact on the three views." Masashi Toyama said, "But you have to believe that the contents of the box are completely controllable, and there is no physical threat to anyone in this room... Well, but psychological threats say not necessarily. ”

In the end, Masashi Toyama suddenly changed his words, Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at him, and his face was a little embarrassed: "There was a student who had high blood pressure because of his abnormal bloodline, and his blood pressure rose after he saw the contents of the box and then fainted. ”

"I'm quite psychologically strong, and I dare to read borrowed horror novels often at night." Lin Nian nodded, indicating that he was mentally prepared. He took a light breath and prepared himself to be frightened, and raised his hands to open the lockbox, but what caught his eye was not shocked or frightened.

Because inside the first black lockbox was an ancient stone ghost mask.
