The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 222
When an old doctor or old professor escaped from a dangerous situation, his own curiosity for pursuing the truth of things surged up.

On the way back, Gwen saw him turning around every ten seconds to look at the whole puddle rolling on the ground, following their puddles, the puddles were constantly turning, chasing after them as if they had vitality. them.

The cat tails of the three cats, Yutu, stick out of the water like the dorsal fins of sharks.

It is no longer necessary to transport the knight cat lamp with the fish tank on its back, and the two small cat Yutu rely on the water storage carried by the big cat Yutu Eve.

Naturally, it is reasonable for this kind of ecology to arouse the curiosity of scholars.

And the Knight Cat Lamp is not at all as smart as a cat lamp... Well, it is still very lazy and good at sneaking, but compared with other cat lamps, it can already make ordinary people cry.

For these special creatures, it is impossible for any scholar to give up his curiosity!
"Your friend is a little strange..." the old scholar couldn't control himself, and said tentatively in a curious tone.

It is [somewhat peculiar] instead of [somewhat rare]. The different words allow Gwen to satisfy his curiosity a little bit.

Gwen walked side by side with the professor, one eye was dyed with flames, and the source of warmth kept these thinly dressed professors and students from getting sick.

"The cat attribute itself represents neutrality in mysticism. Regardless of good or evil, the weight of neutrality itself will affect the habits and habits of these creatures. If you have a sufficient understanding of their habits and habits. Make friends with creatures with cat attributes, It's not impossible."

Gwen used to make up lessons, so she was not shy about talking about them.

Knowledge itself is a thing where information differentiation can have a huge impact.

Although compared with the old professor, Gwen's knowledge is about the same as prenatal education, but he has mastered various consultations that the old professor can't get, so he can easily make up for it.After all, the knowledge of Yutu and the Mind Flayer is a little bit difficult to learn. As for learners, accidents occasionally happen, such as the heart suddenly disappears, or the neck is wiped out and the kidney is pulled out.

"Yuanli is really treacherous. Although you can still feel a certain amount of malice from these creatures, you can't feel the killing intent."

Realizing that Mao Yutu is harmless to normal people, the professor and his students became bolder.

Among his students, there is a man named Sergey Uraka Irbadkov, who is quite strong. He once wrote a thesis on the habits of mind flayers, but due to some reasons (Gwen caused a big change in the habits of mind flayers) ) dissertation was invalidated, so he, who should have successfully obtained his bachelor’s degree, had to turn to study Butcher in the Rain. As a fellow countryman, his tireless research spirit on ghost stories hurt him, because there was a new genre in Yutu, Maoyutu.

Graduation of bachelor's degree or something, it's over!

Sergei gave up the study of kaidan, or the superficial kaidan research, and turned to research on the 'universal recipe of kaidan'.

"My student is very talented, don't you think so? Good guy."

Dr. Ham whispered to Gwen.

Gwen watched the tall Shad man win the favor of Mao Yutu with a box of delicious dough, and felt a little admiration in his heart.This person is also very unlucky, otherwise he will be successful in whatever he does, or in other words, he is also lucky.

……

Dr. Ham's family lived on the east side of the upper carriage area, a lively college community.On the left and right sides are the church colleges of the False Sea Sect and the March Sect.

The famous coffee street is here. There are about ten bookstores, thirty coffee shops, and three bullet exchange offices.

The Yuanli envoys who sat and talked aloud read a part of the secret tome, and the helpless guards held the dictionary and tried to find out the illegal parts. Passers-by were attracted from time to time and suddenly had a little source of power.

It can be described as a dragon farm for ordinary people.

Walking around here, I suddenly feel that the world is wide.Maybe once the thought is clear, the source power will be awakened.

Most of the Ph.D. students live in the surrounding area, which made Gwen startled to herself, "Good guy, they are all masters." Living in this community, what is it if they are not masters?
And how many more?

"Teacher, we have something to do at home tomorrow, can we come back later?" A red-haired Root named Anna asked.

"Okay. Tomorrow's lecture will be on the logic of ghost talk. You all read through pages 135 to 155 of the textbook, and then do the exercises on pages 156 to 160. Just check it for me the day after tomorrow." The old professor's attitude did not say anything. It's unreasonable, at least it can be said to be gentle and kind like the grandfather next door.

Watching these students leave.

Gwen asked curiously, "Do they live near here?"

The old professor stroked his beard and said with a smile, "They live next door to Longyan Castle."

"..."

The superior person appeared.

If you can live next door to Longyan Castle, then there are only two communities.

A community can be regarded as the Upper Eight Banners... No, it should be said to be an aristocratic community, because the people living in it are not "slaves of Longyan's ancestors", but "fellow villagers who ruled with Longyan's ancestors" The top wealthy families and the old people in the family are also somewhat famous in the hometown of the fellow. If the fellow is regarded as a complete kingdom, it is at least four generations and three princes.

The other community is quite special. The people who live in it are the mainstays of the religious order. In conversion, it is probably equivalent to living in the cardinal archbishop.

Gwen followed the old doctor into the house, looking at his back in surprise.

Just looking at the outside, you can't tell that this old man has such a wild and wide road. No wonder he can find the captains to drink tea and eat together. …and even unconsciously took the students out for field trips, bold enough, wild enough, and pure enough in thinking.

"It's a pity." - Gwen carefully studied the figure of the next professor, but didn't feel a wild beauty from it.

……

After returning home, Dr. Ham relaxed a little, with a smile on his face:
"Do you want fruit tea or scented tea?"

Gwen found the sofa and sat down, and compared the tastes of the two teas from memory, nodded: "Flower tea, are there any lava flowers?"

"Huh? You like this kind of taste?" Ham was quite happy. He turned around to make tea and said, "The taste of lava flowers is too spicy, and few people like it."

In fact, it is close to the taste of barley tea, but it seems that a small piece of ginger has been added.

The rich aroma of wheat spreads with the sound of flushing water.Gwen couldn't help licking his lower lip in anticipation. He didn't drink anything because he went out too quickly, and he was thirsty now.

Ham finished making tea, put it on the table, and said vigorously, "Please wait here for me."

He thumped and walked into the room.

Soon.

Gwen just took a sip of tea when he heard the sound of him coming down again.When he raised his eyes, he could see him walking over with a stack of thick documents in both hands.

"All the information you want is here, about my recent research on mind flayers, and the information about that special subspecies of mind flayers. Subjectively speaking, I think that the birth of subspecies of mind flayers is likely to be derived from It was an accident, but from a broad perspective, the conspiracy theory is barely tenable. Although I don’t know who would benefit from creating such a mind flayer that uses morality as the standard of killing, but after thinking about it, There is really no need for benefits."

Dr. Ham sat down, with a painful expression on his face, and lightly hammered his waist with his left hand, "Some people are satisfied just to see the world destroyed; I think, if the red mind flayer is really If it is intentionally created, then you are likely to find the real culprit if you go looking for a smart misanthropist."

Misanthropist?
The first thing that came to Gwen's mind was Long Yan and... Curse Blade.

"Well, it's possible."

Frankly speaking, both Longyan and Curseblade have a certain degree of misanthropist tendencies, but not many, and one of these two is a moralist and the other is an egoist. It is completely impossible to go together.Because Long Yan doesn't play Two-dimensional, doesn't know how to be so diode, and doesn't think "this world is so dirty, let everyone feel pain, let's work together with Asahid Siqin", he will use real behaviors to improve morality .

If we say that the biggest difference between the moralists of Japanese diodes and moralists like Long Yan is that the former will pretend to be extremely literary but will not start from small things, while the latter will start from small things and make progress. Make good use of compromise.

As for the curse blade, it is not suitable for the end of the world. Even if one day chooses to die together, the curse blade will choose the way to let the other party die for the rest of their lives, because she has completely broken away from the low level of "the end of the world if you fail the exam" Fun, turned to the direction of fun people.

After hearing his uncertain statement, the old doctor laughed out loud:

"This is the most unlikely outcome, just like a doctor must first say that there is a one percent possibility of failure, and then I will say ninety-nine percent. First of all, you know why strange stories are born Is it?"

It was formed by blowing water and spanking between Sakura sister JK.

——Although Gwen wants to say this very much, as a rigorous academic expert (with a guilty conscience), he must speak objectively and fairly.

Strange talk, this word is more interesting to replace complex words such as "eight incredible campuses", and with the rapid evolution of Gwen's previous life's network, it has become a certain combination of "verb/adjective/noun" just like "weird" ' neologism.Although it is definitely not a new word like "double plus good", the main crystallization of this type of new word is labeling, a unique labeling.The term Utopian ghost story has a similar quality.

therefore……

"Ghost stories are born because of labeling a certain group and story, which is a group manifestation phenomenon. It is also the crystallization of the public's psychology. The fundamental prototype of what we call ghost stories is after experiencing the characteristics of the will power of countless sources. , finally materialized, and became a weird and sinister thing."

"Hmm, um... so the mind flayers have this kind of view on the birth of strange stories?"

After Ham said this, Gwen knew that he must be wrong, looked at the other party, and waited for the other party's answer.

"The fundamental reason for the birth of strange stories lies in transmission and memory." Ham pointed to his throat and said, "Language is a kind of carrier of memory, and communication is also a kind of carrier of memory. Therefore, strange stories can be said to be a kind of memory. A creature built with memories. It is essentially a nightmare, but this nightmare begins to have a shape and rules through our special source situation, that is, the source force of the dream.”

Without waiting for Gwen to ask, he continued: "Out of control of the source power is the essence of strange rumors and rumors. The reason why we added the word "rumor" is because it was born because of rumors, but it is not because of group labeling. , Yuanli created strange stories because of "I understand"; or, on the contrary, the birth of each strange story is extremely complicated and has a lot of coincidence factors, which is almost impossible to replicate."

Dr. Ham suddenly sighed: "However, the famous ghost story that has already manifested is not in this category. For example, the "evolution version" of the mind flayer ghost story can easily be born from it, although the subsequent ghost story will be weaker than the first comer Many, but...that is the easy path after all. It is easy for conspirators to take advantage of this characteristic and steal power."

"Is there a way to stop stealing power?" Gwen asked.

"Stop it? Let's put it this way. Mind flayers are huge, equivalent to public resources. Can you stop others from using water? Can you stop others from breathing the same air? If you can't do it, then naturally you can't prevent others from stealing mind flayers." The power of demons. The sky is the limit is that you own the largest part of it, and the small part is stolen by others in various ways."

The biggest part is not me... but the mind flayer Annalie in my heart, she is the real mind flayer... From another point of view, I am also the one who stole her power... Gwen sipped her tea and fell into a meditation.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Gwen arranged for him a knight cat lamp and a lantern to act as security, and he had to pay for it himself.

The old professor is willing to spend a lot of military ammunition to buy fruits, ham and rice as employment fees. This rich food made Gwen even hesitate for a second, "Do you want me to light the cat?" Being beaten by the knight cat lamp is not good to say, so I was spared.

The Knight Cat Lantern has positive power, and the Lantern Noisy Cat Lantern will set off fireworks when it senses an intruder, which is a perfect match.

And the front cat sleeps, and the rear cat takes full responsibility... No, the cat lantern is a particularly energetic cat lantern, and it is really a noisy brat.

Even in normal times, this golden-haired cat with the most beautiful sapphire cat eyes among cats is noisy, meowing and wanting to eat ice cream.But seeing Dr. Ham's appearance, he is quite happy to provide her with ice cream. This old doctor is also interested in the Knight Cat Lamp. In his words:
"This kind of cat light that can be really useful is extremely rare."

Thanks to him giving out food to the cats, otherwise he would be punished for revenge!
After Gwen was sure, she packed the thick stack of documents into her bag and took them back to the association.
