Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 328

Chen Yan didn't admit it right away, but had a strong sense of distrust because of her attitude.

Did you know I would use it?

He realized that this knife might not have been used against Miss Du Ling in the first place!

Alice saw the anger in his eyes, and hurriedly explained:
"I don't have the slightest malice towards you... My life star surrounds your life star, you can decide my fate, I won't joke about this kind of thing..."

Chen Yan looked into her flustered eyes, was silent for a moment, put his hands in his pockets:

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Alice's eyes flickered:
"I don't have much time..."

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Are you...are you going back to Miskatonic University?"

Alice nodded silently.

The two came to the bus platform one after the other.

Under the sunshine during the day, part of the snow on the road has already turned into water, but because the night in Yanan City came too early, the remaining snow had not completely melted, and was frozen by the cold evening wind. .

Chen Yan looked at the not-thin layer of ice on the track of the steam bus, and while wondering why the steam bus didn't derail because of this, asked in a low voice:
"I need you to explain everything as concisely as possible, because the steam bus is coming, if you really want me to save you, don't say those words that people can't understand."

After a short silence, in the cold wind before nightfall, Alice spoke.

"I didn't know you would use that knife. Using unknown superpowers would cause unnecessary trouble for yourself. Few people will use power that doesn't belong to them at will."

Chen Yan couldn't accept this statement at all, but his curiosity about the twins of Alice and Miss Du Ling made him restrain his temper, and let him listen quietly.

"I am a German from the northern plateau."

She looked at the ice on the ground and whispered:

"I followed my family across the sea to Yanan City, and on the recommendation of a relative, I finished academic high school and entered Miskatonic University."

Her language is quite concise.

"At that time, I didn't know what Mida was like, nor did I know that it would be the beginning of all nightmares..."

In the next ten minutes, Chen Yan got a general idea of ​​what happened to Alice.

Alice's family is not short of money. The Ayer people they transported to the factory in Yanan City have accumulated wealth for them that they can't spend in a few lifetimes, which gives her enough confidence to choose a profession she likes.

Like most nouveau riche girls, Alice chose a very unreliable astrology.

After entering the university and studying for one academic year, although she didn't learn much, she met a lot of interesting people and things she had never encountered before.

One of the boys showed great interest in her, and she thought he wanted to woo her, but she was indifferent to his attentions.

As a beautiful and rich German girl, the family will choose the most suitable husband for her, and she only needs to choose the one who looks the most pleasing to her eyes from the men selected by the family.

And the boy who pursued her, a senior named Colin Frankenstein, was not her type in terms of appearance or temperament.

She once heard from a classmate in the same department that Colin Frankenstein came from an old aristocratic family, and now his family has fallen into poverty, so that he can only earn a living by studying.

She learned from the words of her classmates that the reputation of the Frankenstein family is very bad. It seems that because of an anti-human experiment many years ago, the whole family was cast aside. Until now, it has not escaped from that incident. shadows.

Although she doesn't like people like Colin, she likes to play with Colin Frankenstein, because he knows a lot of things, and those things are exciting things that she has never experienced, which are fatal to a rebellious girl of her age. Appeal--

For example, entering a sealed library at night when the school expressly prohibits it.

Like many ignorant young men and women, on a dark and stormy night, she and a few classmates—

Including Colin Frankenstein, after the night watchmen of the University of Midland left from the library door, they sneaked into this huge building that became her lingering nightmare in the following years.

When they pried open the door and entered the library through the fire escape, they suddenly found that the library at night——the library, which looked dark from the outside, was actually brightly lit!

There are many people who don’t know where they come from in the aisles of the library. They are either in suits and leather shoes, reading quietly, or in groups of three or four, talking loudly.

Why are there so many people in the library?
The next moment Alice and her group walked into the light with surprise on their faces, the noisy sounds in the library stopped abruptly.

Everyone turned their heads and stared at them, their eyes were the same as theirs, as if they saw a very incredible existence.

This eerie silence made Alice very scared. She hid behind everyone, and a strong desire to retreat had already emerged in her heart.

Suddenly, the person closest to them opened his mouth and screamed at them blankly.

Screams spread through the crowd, and after a while, all the people standing in the library opened their mouths expressionlessly, screamed at them, and walked towards them quickly.

Alice was frightened, and subconsciously turned around and fled out the door, but her classmates were not as lucky as her.

In her last vision, a female classmate at the front was grabbed by the shoulder by a strange man, and bit her ear, causing blood to spurt.

Alice, who was running towards the door, heard the screams of her classmates. She fled without looking back. The library door is not far away. She only needs to hold on for a few seconds, and she can leave this damned place!

But until she walked to the end along the way, she didn't see the existence of the gate——

They entered the library door and just disappeared out of thin air.

When she turned her head, those screaming eerily caught up to her.

……

"When I woke up again, I was already on the bed in the bedroom."

Her tone was very low, because it was obviously a very bad memory.

She didn't know what happened, she just thought that she had a nightmare, because the classmates around her were all fine—the classmates who went to the library with her in the nightmare were all fine, and didn't show any abnormalities.

After that, perhaps because of too much mental stress, Alice developed symptoms of sleepwalking.

Often in the morning, when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing somewhere on the campus.

She immediately tried some sleeping pills, but they didn't help her at all. No matter how many pills she took before going to bed, as long as she fell asleep, she would sleepwalk.

She tried tying herself up before going to sleep, but that still didn't help, and when she woke up, she would still appear elsewhere on campus.

Fortunately, it will only appear on campus.

She was in pain, and Colin Frankenstein kept comforting her when he knew about it:

Sleepwalking is not a terrible thing. He happened to know someone from the Green family in Yanan City. He only needed some special medicines to cure her sleepwalking.

She had heard of the name [Green], which seemed to be a hot big pharmaceutical group in Yanan City, and due to some little-known special reasons, the medicines of Green's family were more effective than those of other pharmaceutical companies.

She tried a pill that Colin Frankenstein had brought.

That night, she was finally able to sleep peacefully.

When she awoke from her bedroom bed the next morning, she nearly wept with joy.

The medicines that Colin Frankenstein bought from Green's family were not expensive, even very cheap, but the medicines were incredibly effective, so Alice took medicine from him every day.

From then on, she slept more and more soundly and sweetly every day, and her sleep time became longer and longer, as if she had endless sleep.

This situation continued until the second semester of the third year of college.

It was an ordinary astrology class one night, and the teacher described a miraculous phenomenon of star interaction:

When a person suffers from some special mental illness, the person's life star will appear to be two—in fact, he does not have two life stars, but one of them is a phantom created by light.

The high degree of overlap between the main body and the phantom indicates that the condition is relatively mild.

But once the degree of overlap between the main body and the phantom is low, [Fate Stars in Pairs], it means that the condition is already very serious.

In astrology, people and the fate star interact with each other. If there is any problem in a person, it will react on the fate star. On the contrary, the fate star is also the same.

Alice curiously observed her own star through the telescope, and saw an unbelievable scene——

High in the sky, a double image appeared on her dim star, and the double image had been separated from the body of the star, almost drifting away from the star!

She was so frightened that she dropped the binoculars, recalling her state these days, she turned to the teacher for help in extreme panic.

The teacher calmed her emotions, and after confirming the position of her life star, adjusted the telescope and told her:
The way she used the telescope was wrong, resulting in errors in the observed results.

She looked at the camera again in shock, and there was no double image around her star.

Did she see it wrong?

She no longer has the strength to think about whether she is really wrong, she only knows that she is very tired and needs to go to bed quickly.

After class, she fell asleep on the floor before returning to the dormitory.

She hasn't had a dream for a long time, but this time, for some reason, she actually had an extremely real dream.

In the dream, she saw the vision in front of her from the teaching building to the open space of the school, walking along the path covered by oak trees all the way to the library, and walking towards the depths of the library.

The library of Miskatonic University has stood here for more than 100 years since it was built.

After several expansions, it has occupied almost half of the entire campus.

She saw herself walking into the depths of the library, and kept going until the vision in front of her eyes changed——

In a daze, she felt that she was going down.
