Chapter 1911: Visiting (Too lazy to just want to sleep and roll and meow)
After the events of Nyarrathotep, Founder finally had a comfortable and peaceful life, Francis had gone to college, he chose anthropology as his subject, and Valentine continued to work as his detective, collecting hidden information from all over the world.
Until this day, Fang Zheng received an invitation letter from Professor Allen.
"School anniversary?"
"Yes, Mr. Van Helsing."
Professor Allen, who was sitting on the sofa, put down his teacup and nodded at Fang Zheng with a smile.
"We cordially invite you to attend the celebration of Miskatonic University......... We look forward to your visit. β
"That's fine, but why me?"
"This ........."
In the face of Fangzheng's inquiry, Professor Alan looked a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.
"In any case, you were very generous in providing us with financial assistance, didn't you? We will not forget the generosity of donors like you. β
"Okay then."
Of course, Fang Zheng understands that the reason why the other party invited him to participate in the school celebration is mostly because he felt that the first two times he just spent money and didn't get things done, so he came to apologize, and at the same time, it was also to win himself over, so as not to run away with such a good wallet. Founder naturally doesn't care about this.
And he also wanted to see the difference between the school festival in the United States and the school festival in Japan.
"I'll definitely go."
Soon, Founder gave the answer.
Miskatonik's celebration didn't seem to be much different from what Founder had seen before, with the headmaster taking the school's helpers to the stage to speak, and then everyone chatted, and the school opened up the exhibits, each displaying the topics being studiedβββ most of which were about the occult.
Fang Zheng even found a number of specimens of parts from the Old Dominators, as well as some spellbooks and similar things that were clearly related to the outer gods......... Well, from a square point of view, it might be a good choice to burn all of these things in one fire.
Maybe at some point this school should be created a fire?
Although burning these mysterious things will make the eyes of university professors dark, and if they don't do it, they will pass out directly, but it is much better than staying in the world and harming people.
"Sir, let me take it!"
As Fang was visiting the library of Miskatonic University, he suddenly noticed a strange voice that sounded less like a human and more like a trill from another world. Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned, then he took Nimfu's hand and walked towards the depths of the library, and soon, he saw two figures next to a desk on the back of the library.
One of them was an elderly professor, well-dressed, while across from him was a man of unbelievable height, with a goat-like face, a thick beard, and shabby clothes tightly buttoned to wrap around his massive body.
"Mr. Armitici, I must take this book home."
At this moment, the tall man was bending down and staring at the old professor in front of him.
"I don't have the right conditions here to figure out what is recorded on it, what I need to understand. It would be an unforgivable sin to let these red tapes bind me and not go on any longer. Sir, let me take it, my mage, no one will know the difference. I swear I'll take good care of it........."
The old professor looked a little uneasy at the man's plea, but he shook his head firmly.
"Sorry, we don't allow casual borrowing here, it's just because of the open house today........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing the old professor's explanation, the man's face obviously became cunning, he squinted his eyes and stared at the old professor, and the air began to gradually become solemn at this moment. And at the same time...............
"Ahem."
Fang Zheng coughed, breaking the solemn atmosphere, and the old professor turned his head and was stunned when he saw Fang Zheng.
"Oh, sir, may I ask you what is the matter?"
As he spoke, the old professor quickly picked up the book that had been placed in the man's hand and closed it, while Fang Zheng nodded.
"Sorry to interrupt, I wanted to ask about the book "Historical Mysteries"........."
"Oh, the book is over there, please follow me."
The old professor was obviously very happy to be able to get rid of the man, and he almost couldn't wait to walk over to Fang Zheng's side, then turned his head to look at the man.
"I'm sorry, sir, but that's it."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ All right. β
The man snorted coldly, picked up the materials on his desk, and put them back away.
"It doesn't matter if you think so, maybe Harvard won't be as stingy as you are."
After saying this, the tall giant bent over and strode out of the room, but just as he passed by Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng suddenly glanced at him.
"Hey, sir."
ββ¦β¦β¦ What's up? β
Hearing Fang Zheng's shout, the man turned his head to stare at him with an unhappy face, obviously, he was still haunted by the scene when Fang Zheng came to disturb him before.
However, Fang Zheng didn't care about this, he just looked at the man and smiled slightly.
"Do you like barbecue?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦οΌβ
"I like it a lot."
After saying this, Fang Zheng directly turned around and left with the old professor, while the man stared at Fang Zheng's back suspiciously, and after a while, hurriedly left the library.
"Whew......... Thank you very much, kind sir. β
Locking the book back in his arms back into the shelf, the old professor relaxed, he turned his head, smiled at Fang Zheng in a friendly way, and stretched out his hand at the same time.
"I'm Henry. Armitiz, the administrator of this library, may I ask if you are .........?"
"Van Helsing."
"Ah, you're Mr. Van Helsing, I've heard Professor Allen mention your name, thank you for your help in the expedition to Miskatonic University."
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then glanced out the window through the window.
"Who's that man?"
"It's a guy named Wilbur. The people of Watley. β
Professor Armitizi rubbed his hands together.
"He was born in a nearby place called Dunwich, where I once went to do a survey........."
At this, Professor Armitiz's face was a little worried.
"All in all, that place doesn't feel great."
"Really?"
Fang Zheng nodded, and at the same time, Professor Armitizi also came to the bookshelf and took out the book Fang Zheng was looking for from the other side.
"Is there anything else you can do? Mr. Van Helsing? β
"No, sorry to bother you."
"You're welcome, then I still have something, I'm sorry."
After saying this, the old professor left in a hurry, and Fang Zheng also flipped through the book casually, and then put it back on the shelf.
While the man is noteworthy, it's ...............
Or would it be more practical to think about how to set a fire at Miskatonik University?
After the school celebration, another two weeks passed, and then Francis looked like he was feeling uneasy, and found Fangzheng.
"Mr. Van Helsing, there's an accident at school."
"Oh?"
Looking at Francis in front of him, Fang Zheng was slightly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"A thief entered the library of Miskatonic University late at night and tried to steal, but was bitten to death by a watchdog."
"Oh............... This is unfortunate. β
Fang Zheng replied silently, and refocused his attention on the "Flower Princess" in front of him.
Well, I have to admit that even if the ages are different, the pursuit of beauty by human beings is still eternal.
"It's not as simple as you think, Mr. Van Helsing."
looked at Fang Zheng with a look of "You're just talking about gossip?" Francis, too, hurriedly spoke.
"That thief isn't human!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng put down the magazine in his hand and looked at Francis, who quickly explained what he had seen at that time.
That night, he was writing his thesis in the school's research room, and then suddenly he heard the barking of dogs and the sound of the library's burglar alarm bell, and Francis was a ruthless person who first stabbed the deep diver and then cut the star color, and when he heard that something had happened in the library, he also rushed out with a crowbar on his back.
Because of his youthful strength and fast running, Francis was the first to come to the library, and then in the small reading room, he saw a scene that Francis almost never forgets.
Between the overturned seats of the scattered tables, a "thing" curled up on the ground, lying between the foul yellow-green and the dark liquid, his clothes torn, and the watchdog stepping on his chest, growling in a low voice. And what is more important is the appearance of this thing.
Only his face and hands are human-like, and the rest of his body is completely non-human, with a heavy lizard-like cortex on his thorax and black-yellow spots on his back that look like snake's scales. Below its waist, it was covered in pitch-black thick black hair, and dozens of grayish-green, twig-like things, each with red mouthparts at the top, and at the end of the treacherous, eyes could be seen that were not yet fully developed.
After that, Professor Armitizi of the library also came to the scene with two other people, and they cordoned off the library to prevent others from entering, in fact, after seeing the monster, the three professors were also pale and screaming. And Francis held the crowbar in his hand, hesitating to go up and give the monster a look.
Luckily, the monster was dead before he could do anything, and it quickly shrunk and decomposed, turning into a mass of white, viscous substance.
"Bitten to death by a dog? There's really no way to do it. β
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh, while Francis had other ideas.
"Mr. Van Helsing, Dr. Armitizi once asked me about this, that ......... Shall I ......... you?"
"It's okay, if he has something, he can come to me."
After saying this, Fang Zheng yawned again and began to open the magazine in his hand again.
But since it was something that could be bitten to death by a dog, in Fang Zheng's opinion, there was no need for him to make a move.
It's a big deal to get two more dogs.
