Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 263 The Battle Between the Riddlers
"As a visiting professor at Miskatonic University, Mr. Gardener has already made considerable achievements when he was young. More than half of the star maps we use to observe the starry sky are drawn by Mr. Gardener. "

Chen Yan asked curiously: "Do astrologers need star charts for navigation?"

Miss Du Ling affirmed in a serious voice: "Yes, the star map is very important, because the starry sky is very dangerous, and any inadvertent gaze may cause quite troublesome results."

"Astrology believes that our world is a projection of the entire starry sky, everyone's luck will be affected by the starry sky, and everyone has a [fate star] that [links to fate]."

"As astrologers who can predict fate, our [sight] is different from normal people. We can predict the direction of fate by observing the starry sky, which makes our [sight] also be perceived by certain existences in the [starry sky] .”

"This is the reason why we can't just [project sight] to the [unknown area] starry sky."

Chen Yan pondered: "The director drew a star map, that is to say, the director observed a lot of [unknown areas] in the starry sky..."

Miss Du Ling nodded heavily: "This is a very remarkable thing."

She paused, and then said: "What's even more amazing is that after looking directly at the starry sky in such a vast [unknown area], the director did not go crazy, and even until now he is still in good spirits - this is simply something that can be loaded. A miracle in the annals of human history."

Chen Yan asked curiously again: "Miss Du Ling has seen the director?"

Miss Du Ling's eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "Well, it was at the 100th anniversary celebration ceremony of Miskatonic University. As one of the most outstanding contributors in the history of the school, the dean attended the ceremony."

Chen Yan looked at her expression and said in a flat tone: "Does Miss Du Ling worship him?"

Miss Du Ling replied in a very euphemistic way: "As a senior who used his life to explore the unknown starry sky, I naturally admire Mr. Gardener. No one will reach what he achieved for a long time."

She said with emotion: "Because there is no lunatic who will spend half his life looking directly at the unknown starry sky..."

Chen Yan tried hard not to laugh, but at the same time understood what Miss Du Ling meant:
It is worship, but it is not him who is admired, but the great achievements he has created.

Chen Yan thought for a moment, and then made a dangerous test: "Even today, the director is still a radical explorer, and Miss Du Ling must know the research results of the director in recent years until today. It's really a great achievement." (Translation: The director is going to do big things, don't you know?)
Miss Du Ling froze for a moment, and a moment of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

She didn't seem to understand Chen Yan's intentions, and at the same time was surprised that Chen Yan talked about "this matter" with her.

Immediately, at the next moment, she seemed to have figured out Chen Yan's motives, a look of understanding came to her mind, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she accepted his temptation:

"Ah, yes, the existence of the zoo itself is already a miracle, and I think the director will have new and great achievements in his lifetime." (Translation: Well, I know.)
She repeated exactly what Chen Yan said——

That is, she made a complete nonsense statement.

But people like Miss Du Ling don't talk nonsense, and people like her never do things that waste their lives.

She just wanted to use this nonsense to express her innermost feelings.

As an experienced riddler, Chen Yan naturally understood it.

He said in a joking tone: "I have admiration for the director's deeds, and I also want to help within the scope of my ability, and use the poor return to make ends meet~ Speaking of which, my current The salary is still not enough to support daily life~"

(Translation: I know what the director wants to do, and I have the ability to do something. He is paying too little now, and I am very unhappy.)
Miss Du Ling said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Chen has too many major restrictions. If you come to Miskatonic University to take a second undergraduate degree or study for a postgraduate, you will definitely achieve greater achievements!"

(Translation: If you want to fight against the director, you are completely unqualified now, why not join our camp, I will help you become stronger, and then we will fight against him together.)
Chen Yan smiled: "I have long wanted to continue my studies, but I have already selected a major, which is the upper major of my undergraduate major "Veterinary Medicine": "Life Science".

As for the school... For a poor person like me, of course, whichever school is cheap, I can go to that one!

Having said that, I heard that Miskatonic University's "Anomalous Biology" is very famous. If Miss Turin can borrow some related books for me, I will be very grateful! "

(Translation: I have my own plan for a long time, and I don't plan to form a clique with anyone for the time being, but cooperation is still possible.)
A look of helplessness flashed across Miss Du Ling's face, but she concealed it very well, and was hardly noticed by Chen Yan:

""Abnormal Biology"... At Miskatonic University, "Abnormal Biology" is indeed a subdivision independent from "Life Science".

Colin audited a few classes at the beginning, he must have textbooks, I will ask you later. "

After hearing these words, Chen Yan was taken aback.

He couldn't hear the clear meaning from this sentence. If he wanted to forcefully pull it, he could only barely interpret it as (cooperation is possible, but I still need to discuss it with Colin).

He was able to determine the meaning of Miss Turin's words through a moment's eyes and body language, and Miss Turin was obviously able to do the same.

The communication between the two does not need to be too smooth, as if they are talking nonsense, but they both have a tacit understanding of the meaning behind the nonsense.

In fact, Chen Yan has been thinking in his heart since just now, why does he still talk in this constipated way when there is no one around?Is it just because he opened a head?
Chen Yan felt Miss Du Ling's slightly excited emotions, and recalled the predictions that Miss Du Ling once said to him, and thought, maybe it's because Miss Du Ling, who is an astrologer, loves to talk like this...

Chen Yan still had many doubts in his heart, so he looked at the huge radio telescope in the starry sky and asked:
"Speaking of which, apart from his own courage, is it because of the so-called [Demihuman King's Eye] that the director can look directly at the [unknown area] in the starry sky?"

Hearing his question, Miss Du Ling suddenly turned her head, looked into his eyes, and said in a solemn tone:

"This is one of the unsolved mysteries of Miskatonic University."

"No one knows how Professor William Master survived while looking directly at the unknown starry sky."

"Everyone only knows that the [Demihuman King's Eye] was originally taken out from the eye socket of a half-animal mummy with [Ancient Beast Transformation Virus]. A deep-sea research ship."
