Early the next morning, Wu Ming took Hyde and Elizabeth to Maskatonic University, the local university in Arkham Town.

Why didn't you go to church? The first is that the churches that are held are shared with other churches, and it is useless to use them if it is not their turn today, and second, because this Miskatonic University has some origins.

Arkham is one of the many towns founded by the Puritans in the New World, dating back to the mid-17th century, when the Puritans, who had been brutally persecuted by the Reformation, had taken root in the New World and fought back and forth with the indigenous people.

About half a century later, Salem, south of Arkham, was hit by a horrific witch trial, and it was at that time that the new town received a large number of 'witches' and their families who were persecuted by the Salem Authority Church.

Today, Salem is a modern industrial metropolis that has been stigmatized for its victims for three centuries, and Arkham is still the same town next to the riverside.

There are two places in this town that are famous to the locals.

Arkham Asylum and Miskatonic University.

However, this time the story does not involve the Arkham Asylum, so we will leave it aside for the time being and return to the origins of Maskatonic University. The reason why Miskatonic University has some origins is because it was founded by a group of magicians.

While the Salem tragedy was followed by the persecution of innocent people to death by chasing the wrong rabbit, many of them went into seclusion and delved into forbidden knowledge, while the real magicians, witches, and wizards watched the farce of the girl concocting trumped-up accusations, and watched the girl secretly prick herself with a needle to accuse others of using magic to torture her, and then quietly leave before the fire burned to herself. Fun Cabinet

Eventually, they moved to Arkham Town, where they founded the University of Miskatonic, where the magicians hid themselves in the name of the school, and in the library they studied knowledge that had been lost since the Age of the Gods. In view of the particularity of the University of Mitso, the students recruited by the University are mainly for survivors who have obvious extraordinary talents or have experienced extraordinary events, of course, in order to avoid suspicion, they will also recruit some ordinary students to cover up the particularity of Miskatonik University.

Are you looking for Professor Philip, President Kraft of the University of Mi-Tek heard Wu Ming's intention, he leaned back in the soft and comfortable seat, but his attention was always on the magic book in front of him, and while flipping through the magic book, he said calmly: Count the days, like? No, maybe I haven't been to school for a week. Students in the Department of Folklore seem to have reported this problem before

Wu Ming looked at him with a completely indifferent look, and his brows jumped wildly: Your school is embarrassed, how can you still be so calm? Aren't you afraid that Professor Philip will give you a big news?

Alas, I didn't say it. Principal Kraft sighed and closed the heavy magic book in his hand, and the dignified-looking middle-aged man lifted the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then looked up at Wu Ming, Little brother, I think you are a newcomer, right, for Michigan, it is normal for a person to disappear every year, not to mention a missing professor, even two of the previous presidents have put their lives into it

Besides, I know very well that Philip has a few pounds and a few taels, and he is just a survivor of an extraordinary event, but unfortunately that extraordinary event has affected him so deeply that we cannot undo its effects. And he does not have the qualifications and talents to be transformed into a transcendent, so he may only be able to live as a professor in our university for the rest of his life, and he can only deal with transcendent things for the rest of his life.

Principal Kraft deliberately emphasized the word 'only', and Wu Ming, who is good at observing words and feelings, naturally did not miss this detail, and he narrowed his eyes and asked: Do you mean that his trip to the Amazon a year ago actually had a transcendent element?

Of course, Headmaster Craft still maintained that disapproving tone, and reopened the book in his hand

The magic book, the relevant report he also presented to me, do you want to listen?

I would like to hear about it.

In fact, it would be inaccurate to say that it was an extraordinary element. Headmaster Kraft's eyes kept staring at the mysterious words on the magic book, and the old god said on the ground: We sent him to the primeval jungle of the Amazon, in fact, to recover the knowledge that may lead to some undesirable consequences, although most of the primitive tribes in the Amazon jungle live a primitive and isolated life, but some of their tribes still inherit the knowledge handed down from the time of the gods. In some tribes, because of oral transmission, the knowledge has been removed from toxicity and harmfulness and tends to be harmless in the process of being passed down from generation to generation, but in some tribes there are still many original texts of the gods that have been preserved.

If that knowledge is placed in that primitive tribe that is almost undefended, it is a risk factor, if it is targeted by those who have a heart, I am afraid that it will not be long before they can exchange those texts from the tribe with glass balls and daily necessities, and then cause a new round of turmoil in the transcendent world after reading that knowledge.

That's why we sent Professor Philip to the primeval jungle of the Amazon to get the Divine Classics from those primitive tribes

And he did a great job, albeit a bit of a difficult process, and the team they formed was lost in the jungle, attacked by jungle beasts, and hunted down by the natives of primitive tribes, but he overcame the odds to bring back from the Amazon the same list of books we have listed. The most amazing thing is that people are not crazy yet, and even the mental wounds they once had have have been healed! You must know that while we were waiting for him to return, we contacted Arkham Asylum and asked them to be ready to receive patients for recuperation at any time

Kraft was obviously very surprised when he said this, and he couldn't help but raise his voice, but the principal's last muttering that lowered his voice also reached Wu Ming's ears word for word, making him stunned and stammered for a long time before he held back a complaint: Good guy, the business is so skilled, and the madmen in the Arkham Asylum are all contributed by you?

No way, people in this industry are too easy to go crazy. Even if we magicians accidentally read a lot of forbidden knowledge excessively, our bodies as human beings will be distorted, and no matter how tenacious our spirits are, we will fall into madness, not to mention ordinary people with fragile minds. That's why it's necessary to work with an insane asylum. Kraft shrugged, but the good news was that Professor Philip's report did not contain any reports of transcendent events. And according to our subsequent investigation and polygraph by transcendent means, he did not lie in the report, and the only books of knowledge that could have caused the transcendental event to occur, he also obeyed the rules of secrecy well and never read those forbidden knowledge.

That is, in the action to go to Amazon, there are no problems

Exactly, at least from our point of view.

While Wu Ming was talking to President Kraft, two uninvited guests were wandering around Miskatonic University, quietly avoiding the eyes and ears of the surrounding teachers and students, and sneaking into an office.

Hyde, who followed Elizabeth into the room, closed the office door with his hand: Elizabeth, is this right?

This is it! I've got a good nose! Elizabeth nodded boastfully, her nose twitching slightly and her brow furrowed slightly, but it felt a little strange here

What's wrong? Hyde asked, looking at Elizabeth suspiciously, closing the office door and locking it from the inside to prevent anyone else from using the key to open the door.

Elizabeth did not answer, but carefully discerned every scent in the air, her expression became more and more serious, and her face, which had always been bright and sunny, gradually became gloomy. Then her face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look in the direction behind Hyde and shouted.

There are other people in this room!

&l;divid=&“p5&“&g;

&l;aondash; &ash;It was a swollen, round, irregular sphere that floated in mid-air, and at the bottom of the sphere were connected to a number of blood-red thin tubes, apparently caused by the attack that had just hit Hyde.

he

Lisabeth had never seen such a strange creature before, but before she could figure out what the physiology of this thing was, the swollen orb shook the blood-red tube again, turning into blood-red shadows that struck again!
