Chapter 546: The Past Events of the Secret University (2)
"Deliberately fabricated falsehood?"
"That's right, the old guys are probably so obsessed with theology that they have brain problems."
"and after?"
"The professor can't fool a medical student who advocates science and make him superstitious, and the medical student can't help him get rid of his imagination. In the next four years, everyone will not interfere with each other."
Speaking of this, Joseph seems to have come out of the weird mood, and he firmly believes that he is on the right path.
It's just that this guy's medical skills are really bad.
At this moment, looking at this proud doctor, Lu Li felt extremely complicated.
The professors all hinted so clearly, no matter what they think in their hearts, what can they lose if they agree on the surface?
To make an inappropriate analogy, Patriarch Bodhi was going to teach his grandson the magic of immortality, but instead of playing riddles, he asked him to come to him in the middle of the night. As a result, Sun Houzi not only didn't appreciate it, but also prevented the patriarch from coming down in front of many senior brothers.
"Then what about your other classmates." Lu Li put his mind to the test and said, "It's unlikely that anyone would really believe that absurd statement, so follow the professor and devote himself to theological research?"
"have."
Joseph sighed, and seemed to be feeling that smart people are a minority after all.
"Actually, I am the only one who can muster up the courage to refuse the professor's invitation."
"Students participated in some after-school training with a skeptical attitude? That's a bit inaccurate, let's call it interest expansion."
"At first, most people were skeptical about it, and even expressed a sense of helplessness when communicating with me."
"But as time went on, they became strangers, and many times they sent me a strange message: it would be stupid to refuse a professor in the first place."
Recalling this, Joseph showed a look of hell, with a strange tone:
"Because the school is located in a remote place, I only go home once a year, or even stay at the school without going back."
"Because of this, my life at the University of Michigan was extremely difficult, as if I was living among a group of aliens.
Classmates who used to be close to each other still often get together to discuss academic issues, but whenever I appear, they will invariably shut up and stare at me like a stranger.
And this is just a small scene in life. "
After the words fell, Joseph raised his head and drank the cold milk in one gulp, trying to relieve the distress in his heart.
Is it wrong to insist on science?
He kept torturing himself in his heart.
At the same time, I was silently thinking about another possibility. If I hadn't been so stubborn at the time, but had held a skeptical attitude like most of my classmates, I might have been able to integrate into it.
While Joseph was contemplating, Lu Li got into trouble. Through conversation and observation, he discovered that this crappy doctor really didn't know the truth about this world.
"So, what about this book?"
"To be honest, I have been wondering why it is so worn out, and there is obviously no information in it."
In the end, Lu Li decided to ask the last key question. As the previous owner, it was impossible for him not to know everything.
"That's what happened when I was about to graduate."
It is rare that someone is willing to listen to himself talking about the past, and Joseph no longer hides it. He takes out a pipe from his pocket, and while lighting it, he tells:
"As I said before, I didn't have a good time in those four years because of the irreconcilable conflicts with the professor and the sad and unspeakable barriers with my classmates."
"Most of the time is self-study."
"But I'm still a member of Miskatonic University and need to participate in graduation activities, such as photo ops."
"One afternoon, we took graduation photos on the statue lawn in front of the R.C. Memorial Building, which is a building funded by Sir Robert Carter, the elder of the college, with a strong sense of history."
"And those old classmates who haven't seen for a long time are gradually gathering here. I thought they would all be there, but the result was extremely cruel."
"In the end, only 21 people showed up, less than one-third of the number at the time of enrollment, but those students who rushed over didn't say anything about it. I was the only one who was kept in the dark."
"The complex mentality of being about to graduate and various experiences drove me to decide to ask everything clearly. Therefore, at a later time, I found a very good friend and asked him what the truth is. The truth that the professor said is What, where did the disappearing classmates go?"
"He said that the recent research project has made a breakthrough, and the matter can't be explained clearly in a few sentences. He agreed to go to the library to talk about it in five days."
"Actually, I have never been to the library. After all, the University of Michigan is famous for its literature, philosophy, and theology, and the medical school is a newly established secondary institution. It is difficult to find any valuable reference materials."
"Because of this, I had a strange thought at the time, did I miss something, and I went to sit around before graduation, which can be regarded as making up for regrets."
"It's a pity that I haven't entered the library until now, because the old friend died, and the time of the incident happened three nights after the graduation photo was taken."
"That was the closest I was to the truth, but an accident ruined it, so I applied to the school to collect my friend's belongings. That guy is an orphan with a strange personality. Except for the connection with the professor, everyone else ignore."
"Therefore, the school agreed to the application. Frankly speaking, I have not had much hope. After all, those professors are likely to handle the funeral for them."
At this time, Lu Li also guessed that this book was the relic of the medical student.
"The moment I entered my friend's dormitory, I smelled a fishy smell, very similar to the smell of highly corrupted seafood, but I didn't see the body, it was taken away by the guard room of the college..."
"Then, I found it on an empty bookshelf. It's one of the few relics."
Maybe it's because he doesn't know much, or maybe he doesn't want to recall the pain. Joseph said the last part of the past very vaguely, and most of the time he bowed his head and smoked a stuffy cigarette.
"I don't want you to laugh when I say it. The reason why it is still on Baker Street is because I intend to completely draw a line from that past."
"It can be seen that you are very interested in Miskatonic University. It is one of the few items I brought out from the academy. If it is not too heavy, you can take it away and study it carefully."
After finishing speaking, Joseph knocked off the ash, stood up from the sofa, looked at the fog that was gradually thickening outside, and added: "You must have a weapon hidden in your cane. If it hadn't been for some conversation, I would have thought You are a UM alumni.
Those alumni who majored in antiquities like to do this, talking about it all day long, as if they are ready to fight at any time. "
"Finally, it's getting late, let's go back to Baker Street early, the Whitechapel area will be even more chaotic at night."
