'I can't stand it! I'd rather go to a kindergarten and volunteer and jump off the bell tower at Michigan! Don't continue to teach these ADHD children and curious babies! ’

Rann pulled out the letter in the suggestion box, and it seemed that it was still from a professor who was about to go crazy, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Master Mi is still relatively reserved, although Rann has been as peaceful as possible before, but his identity as a 'god' is here, even if it is a relatively gentle ancient god, after all, he is also a god, so he has been in the principal's office for a long time, and no one dares to come to the door to slap the table.

However, since Rann improved it and made it anonymous, more complaints have rained down, all of which are protests from Secret Master teachers and students against the players, including but not limited to players disrupting class order, harassing professors after class, trespassing in the library, and sneaking around the professor's dormitory.

…… What's going on with the last one?! The people who can be professors at U-M are at least a lot of old men, what do you want to do to the old professors!?

Rann laughed and threw the player who committed the last thing a three-week ban from class, which is a three-week kick out of U-M, until the frightened old professor was deflated and couldn't return to class.

U-M also quickly introduced a new round of school rules, and Rann set up a large number of rewards and punishments considering the player's rebellious personality.

For example, the player's ability to directly enter the U-M library was canceled, and the credit exchange system was changed, 5 credits can enter the library to borrow a book, and the credits can be earned in class through normal classes or answering questions, in order to prevent players from sneaking in, the honorable position of librarian was given to the 'Mi-U dog'.

That's right, it was Albert who helped Albert and bit Sauron's dog, of course Rann didn't forget it when he moved Mita into the kingdom of God, and when he was stressed, he also called the dog over for a meal, not to mention, it was especially decompressing!

It's a pity that the dog doesn't understand why he's afraid of Rann, every time he sees it, he clamps his tail and treats himself as a puppet at the mercy of him, refusing to say anything, although Rann is very happy, but he doesn't force the dog's interest, and he only stops tastelessly after a few strokes.

Originally, the dog was the guardian of Mitsu, and it was also tasked with overseeing the library to prevent the curious babies from dying inside, which was just right to drive away players.

And, of course, the all-important class system, Rann quietly reminds players in the new school rules that their full-time tutors are unsurprisingly professors of various majors, so think before you do it - that's the mentor who can determine whether you can change careers or not!

Isn't this the importance of the favorability system?

Sure enough, within a few days of the new school rules coming out, the effect gradually became apparent, as evidenced by the fact that in Ran's suggestion box, the number of complaint letters decreased at a visible rate.

The professors and seniors at U-M breathed a sigh of relief—they had finally reluctantly restored normal class order.

Rann pulled out the last letter in the suggestion box, and was surprised to find that it was not a complaint letter, but a suggestion letter, and it was a real-name system.

The content of the letter was even more unexpected.

‘…… With all due respect, great God, there is something that has puzzled me for a long time, your followers, our students, a group of people of complex personalities that I have never seen before, who are self-destructive, altruistic, self-interested, and chaotic clusters, whose indifference to life amazes me, but whose attitude does not seem to have been motivated by faith......

It's not surprising that Rann can see this, players seem to be extremely fanatical about the gods and can even give their lives, but in fact, after spending time together, you can see that they are not fanatics in the general sense, and they have no reverence for everything in this world, including themselves.

I don't want to investigate the reason, whatever the answer is, it's not something we can interfere with, but I think that their disconnected attitude towards life, their disregard for their own life, may one day become a rift between Tanta and the believers. ’

……

"Come on!"

The eastern part of the University of U-Minami is also the densest place for spiritual plants, and it looks like a small botanical garden when viewed from above, where combat students are now practicing with ready-made offensive spiritual plants.

In order to make the players actively come to class, the professors have been very nervous these days, and finally after experiments, it was found that the players like the practical courses very much, so the combat department can be described as a daily practice, for the players is a daily monster fighting task.

Not crazy is like a wild horse on the loose, since the last Mi Da Auditorium incident, she seems to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and since then she has abandoned her original plan to become a doctor, and has joined the ranks of the gods of war without looking back.

Potions professor at the University of Michigan, Larkin . Koberm smiled and led the students to collect herbs and boil potions on the spot, and when he took a general look at them one by one, today's actual combat drill of the combat department also happened to end, and Larkin said: "Okay, it just so happens that the potion is also boiled, drink it." ”

The strongest man didn't know the sinister nature of society at the moment, and drank the potion boiled by Ah Long with a big grin, and then almost didn't vomit it: "...... What is this so bad to drink! ”

Larkin asked, "What does it taste like?" ”

The strongest man recalls with difficulty: "...... It's like spoiled socks. ”

"It seems that there is too much puppet grass, write it down, and next time it will be about 1 gram less." Larkin turned his head and ordered, and Aaron immediately lowered his head and worked his notes.

[Grass, live experiments on the spot, I die of laughter.] 】

[Is this self-produced and self-sold, love love]

[No wonder the battle department is arranged next to the potions department hhhhh]

The same thing happened to other players, although Larkin had tested the players' steps in advance, but there were not a few players who were big-spending, either this gram was a little more, or the herb was not enough, in short, although the wound was healed, there would always be all kinds of strange sequelae, the taste was strange, the scales or something were still within the tolerance range, and the most strange thing was that someone grew a pig's tail.

"Wow, limited-time skin!" Woo even turned sideways, "Hurry up and take a picture for me." ”

"Just shoot, look at the camera."

"Professor, I'm injured too." Not crazy, he also came up and said to Larkin with a grin.

With a smile, Larkin stuffed the potion he had made with his own hands and pulled her among the Potions students: "Just to show you the effect of the perfect potion." ”

Don't go crazy and drink the potion, and watch in amazement as your blood volume soars.

Player group commotion:

", magic medicine!"

"Coach, I want to learn how to boil potions!"

"Woo woo woo, why is it 'how can people not go crazy' potion quality is so high every time, Professor qwq, you are eccentric."

Larkin was not angry, and borrowed the player's words and said humorously: "If you are not convinced, you can also find a binding milk." ”

"Hahahaha, did you hear it, the professor is me~" Bu Bu Crazy hugged the arm of the Potions Professor, his face full of pride, "This is what I saved with a great success and a full attack!" ”

Larkin still couldn't go crazy, raised his hand and rubbed her head dotingly, for an old man without a family, he might have recognized her as a granddaughter as early as the moment he recognized her at the school gate.

Eh, I made a mistake, I knew that I should have said a letter of recommendation to the Potions Department (choke)

……

‘…… I see the signs and am apprehensive about it, so I submit this letter to you. - Department of Psychology, Joe. Berthom'

After reading the letter, Rann stayed on the name of the letter for a few seconds, but unfortunately he was not impressed by the professor, but judging from the content of the letter, it can only be said that psychology is worthy of being one of the ace majors of the University of Michigan.

In just a few days, the psychology professor has already seen the essence of the players, and the crisis lurking between Mi-M and the players.

Because of the problem of character cards, if the player's character is stuck, it is really dead in the eyes of the NPC, and even if the player has another character card, it is no longer the same person in the eyes of the NPC.

To be honest, this point is also quite criticized in the player forums now, and many knives appear out of thin air, but the official does not change.

But to be honest, Rann thinks this is still quite good, if there is no means to deter players, then the current situation is probably even more chaotic. However, the knife always faces the double-edged sword of both sides, and for the 'NPCs' who are left behind, it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to get attached to the player.

Rann sighed and put the letter back in the drawer.

A transparent hyacinth floated to Ran's ear from the window, bringing the news to him, and Ran's eyes lit up: "Kerry's side has a result?" ”

He snapped his fingers, and instantly appeared from the principal's office in the lab assigned to Kerry. Kerry and Archie may have anticipated Ran's appearance, but they weren't surprised.

Ran: "So fast?" ”

Kerry: "Originally, the Inspectorate was doing research on weirdness, and I knew some of the key information, and I didn't start from scratch. Long story short, in terms of results, I'm probably the worst of the speculations, that humanity is gradually becoming weird. ”

"Is the process reversible?" Rann asked.

Kerry shook his head: "At present, I only know that the higher the layer you go, the faster the process of mutation. ”

Hearing this, Rann couldn't help frowning, so wouldn't the path of the Dream Gap be completely impassable. But that's not what matters now.

"Edmund, Archie, are you still exploring in the Dream Gap?"

"Well, if you want them to stop, IMHO, I don't agree with that decision." Kerry said.

"Why?"

"After you left, I collected the blood of two of your followers and compared them, and found that their mutation speed was far faster than that of Dinah," Kerry added, fearing that Rann had forgotten Dinah's name, "Dinah is the inspector team, the one on the same team as Job." ”

Not to mention, Rann really almost forgot that there were still a few people in the inspection bureau imprisoned in the kingdom of God.

"Dinah and Edie are also the second layer of the Dream Gap, and Eunice is the first layer, but in terms of the speed of the mutation, Edmund far surpasses them, but judging from the awakening time of the Dream Gap, this is completely abnormal," Kerry further added, "At the current rate, even if it stays at the current level, it will gradually become weird, so it is better to gamble and continue to go deeper." ”

Rann fell silent when he heard this, the speed of the change? Why are the two of them mutating much faster than normal?

If you have to say anything special about Edmund......

That is, they believed in themselves.

"There's another stat worth noting, and while they're far more mutated than normal, their spirit is surprisingly stable," Kerry continued.

"Generally, even if it's a transcendent who doesn't participate in any battles

Person, for example, me - when breaking through the layer of the dream gap, I will go crazy at least a few times, I used to be bored in the inspection bureau to do statistics, generally speaking, crazy about 10 times is a normal number of times, but they only seem to have two or three or four times. ”

Archie nodded: "Before I joined the church, I went crazy about 3 times when I broke through the first layer alone, and Edmund even less, it seems that only once. ”

"It was also because of their unexpectedly stable mental state that I thought that maybe deeper in the gap between dreams, I would find a turning point." Kerry concluded.

Eventually, Rann agreed to continue breaking through the Dream Gap, and after he left, Edmund and Archie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

Kerry waited a few seconds to confirm that Rann was completely gone, and then took out a cigarette from his arms and put it in his mouth: "Thank me for what to do?" I'm just making my own inferences. ”

Edmund whispered, "We know, but thank you anyway." ”

Both Edmund and Archie knew that if Rann knew the speed of their mutation, he wouldn't let them go any further into the Dream Gap.

But both Edmund and Archie vaguely know that the storm is coming, that there is an unknown enemy snooping in the shadows, and they must become stronger.

They didn't want to drag Rann back, or live in the kingdom of God under his protection for the rest of their lives, even if the future was beautiful, but it wasn't what they wanted, Edmund wanted to maintain Ran's glory on the surface, and Archie, although he didn't admit it, was almost the same idea in his heart.

Kerry is very knowledgeable and will not hide the results of the experiment from Rann, but a little processing of his own ideas can make Edmund and Archie owe him a favor, so why not.

"You should know more or less the reason for the rapid speed of mutation," Kerry exhaled a puff of smoke, and his exposed eyebrows became lazy again, "Actually, I'm not too surprised, the internal files of the inspection bureau basically have such examples, and the end of believing in evil gods will not be much better." ”

Edmund and Archie's expressions did not change, they both knew this, but they still chose this path of no return.

"What about you, aren't you like that?" Archie asks rhetorically, thanking Kerry for his help, but he is still skeptical of Kerry's purpose.

"Well, it's better when I don't have a place to go." "I didn't think about how long I would live anyway, and people who walked this path would be laughed at and naïve if they tried to live a long life." ”

The cultist and the investigator are both short-lived brothers, and the difference is nothing more than whether they die as a monster or as a human being.

Some people care about this, and some people don't, like Kerry.

After all, scientists are cats killed by curiosity.

……

On the other hand, Rann returned to the headmaster's office, he didn't hear the conversation between Kerry and Edmund in the second half, but he could roughly guess why Edmund and Al changed faster.

Since the fog is one of the sources of pollution, then he who can drive the fog may be a more terrifying source of pollution than the fog.

Rann closed his eyes and had been in the hospital for a long time before the dice were drawn'??? The picture of the 'Great Failure' lingered in my mind, and perhaps from that time on, the hint was already in front of me.

The advent of the evil god will spread spiritual pollution, making human beings crazy step by step, and even producing abnormal changes, which is originally one of the deep-rooted settings of the restraint system, but it is too 'common sense' and easy to ignore.

And the reality will once again remind him of the fact that he is an evil god.

Immediately afterwards, the next question came to mind, in the worldview of the running group, even if the incarnation or afterimage of the evil god descended, it would cause human beings to go crazy and even directly change the biosphere, so if Rann stayed in this city for so long, and even Arkham directly became his divine kingdom, would it cause any changes?

……

"What the hell is this place!?"

The inch-headed man couldn't help but scream, and as soon as he screamed, he was smashed into his mouth by the scar girl viciously with the butt of a gun, blocking his throat: "Shut up, be careful to lure the monster over again!" ”

The followers of the Doomsday Sect were as quiet as chickens, staring with bated breath at a blood-colored ghost vine in the alley, for fear of attracting its attention.

Ever since entering Arkham City last night, the cultists have felt like they are in hell at all times, and there is not a single moment to rest, the city is hell, full of strange and eerie plants, and strange walking around in the fog.

They tried their best to disguise themselves as invisible, and they really deceived a lot of weirdness at first, but the inch-headed man accidentally stepped on the walking grass on the ground, and was thrown in front of the weirdness by the grass in retaliation, and the nightmare of the cultists came.

The experience of being chased and killed by the monster is not unheard of before, but when they were chased and killed by the monster, they found that the terrifying plants around them also move, and they are not friendly to them, and the situation has become a horror game.

The cultists finally managed to deal with the two D-class monsters that were chasing them, and there were some colors on their bodies, and the scar girl was panting, her shoulder was pierced by a strange mouthpiece, and now the flesh was still hot.

But there is one thing that is more deadly than pain: blood loss and infection.

The scar woman took out the butt of her gun and rubbed the liquid on the inch-headed man's chin in disgust: "You, go buy medicine." ”

The inch-headed man was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the scar girl, but she was the one who could beat her the most, so he endured it: "Why me? ”

"Only you contribute the least." Scar Girl said coldly.

For the sake of the gun in the black hole, the inch-headed man gave up arguing, and obeyed quite aggrievedly, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "How is this place compared to the new port?" ”

Scar: "Hell is more harmonious and friendly than here. ”

The inch-headed man sighed, glanced around the disability, and found that he was really the only one who could go, and walked out of the alley with a curse, fortunately there was a pharmacy on the opposite block, he didn't squint, tried not to look at the strange plants and weirdness around him, and trotted to the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was not like the hospital would smell a strong smell of disinfectant water, and the inch-headed man sniffled and smelled a little milk smell of toasted bread, and his stomach rumbled all at once.

"Didn't you have breakfast, young man?" The owner of the pharmacy came from the counter in the back, he was obviously in good spirits, as if he had just slept a beauty sleep, his whole face was radiant, and he held the source of the fragrance in his hand, a butterfly of freshly baked croissants.

The inch-headed man's eyes staring at the bread were too obvious, and the pharmacy owner smiled and handed over a piece of bread: "Eat." ”

The inch-headed man originally wanted to snatch the butterfly directly, but for the sake of caution, he didn't do it immediately, took the bread and chewed a few bites: "Boss, are you a local here?" ”

"Of course, I heard your accent is out of town, right? Welcome, we have quite a few nice spots in Arkham," the owner said with a smile, "Well, although most of them are not that famous, at least the atmosphere here is good, and most of them are harmonious and friendly." ”

The inch-headed man almost choked on the bread in his mouth, and if it weren't for the boss's kind kind handover of water, he would probably have become the first heretic in the Doomsday Sect to be choked to death.

The inch-headed man subconsciously glanced outside the store.

Monsters are born and strange everywhere, the unspeakable roam the streets and alleys, and the terrifying trees cover the entire city.

Do you call this harmony and friendliness?

The Doomsday cultists should be replaced by you!

The inch-headed man was indignant, he stared at the boss with a healthy and happy demeanor, and the depression in his heart became more and more serious, and evil was born from the side of his guts.

As if sensing the inch-headed man's ill-intentioned gaze, the pharmacy owner's smile remained unchanged, but his steps quickened and walked into the counter.

There's a hunting gun there.

Just when the inch-headed man was about to make a move, the shopkeeper quickly pulled out his shotgun: "Although I don't know what you're going to do, I advise you to think again." ”

A strange laugh came out of the inch-headed man's throat: "This thing is a burning stick to us." ”

However, the next moment, another footstep was heard in front of the store.

"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone, have you seen this person?"

Out of the corner of his eye, the owner of the pharmacy saw that the person who came was a thin man with a bookish atmosphere, and walked in with a book, and couldn't help but remind in a loud voice: "Sorry I don't have time now!" ”

As if he didn't see the critical situation in front of him, the thin man stepped forward under the anxious gaze of his boss and put his hand on the shoulder of the inch-headed man.

"Hey, stinky boy, get out of here!" The owner of the pharmacy is very anxious, he has been open for a long time and has a bit of a human eye, just now the inch-headed man stared at him with the wrong eyes, this person may have killed someone, and the thin man stepped forward to stop it is tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's mouth!

However, unexpectedly, after the inch-headed man's shoulder was patted, he turned around and left without looking back, as if nothing had happened.

The pharmacy owner was stunned, is this person just fierce on the surface?

"Boss......" said the thin man again, "have you ever heard the name Kerry Chapman?" ”

"No, no." The pharmacy owner said subconsciously.

"Okay." The thin man sighed and was about to turn away, but the boss reacted and said in a loud voice, "But you can post a missing person notice at the door of the store, or tell me about the characteristics of that person, and I will help you keep an eye on it!" ”

The thin man paused, looked back and smiled: "Thank you, you are a good person." ”

He looked outside the store and said meaningfully, "This is also a very special city. ”

The shopkeeper noticed that this man's eyes were very special, his pupils were very dark, no light could be reflected, his pupils were cloudy, like a blind man, but his behavior pattern was not like invisible, holding a black book with no words on the cover in one hand, and the black tattoo on the back of his hand was very conspicuous.

"Are you here looking for someone?" The boss asked

"Sort of, come to find someone, and meet an old friend by the way." The man smiled, "By the way, boss, give you a reminder, try not to go out in foggy days in the future." ”

The boss was curious: "Why? ”

"Easy ...... Become the same as the person just now. The man whispered, "Sometimes you don't know anything, but it's a kind of happiness, isn't it." ”

With that, he walked out of the store, and finally did not say the characteristics of the person he was looking for.

The shopkeeper muttered, "Weirdo,"

On the other side, the scar woman looked at the inch-headed man returning the same way, her hand empty: "Where's the medicine?" ”

The inch-headed man was confused: "What medicine?" ”

Scar Girl took a deep breath and silently turned on the safety of the gun.

Bang! ：，，.
