Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 146 The Folklore Professor and the Cannibal God

Time passed unhurriedly, and it was another week in a blink of an eye.

Tired of the traffic and high-rise buildings in big cities, Luke directly rented a house in Prosperity Town and settled down for a week. He didn't let Ashley, who was about to collapse, return to Phoenix until he received the notice that the university was about to start.

Luke also specifically asked Leonard, he was originally admitted to a university in a small town called "Arkham", what is the name of Miska University.

I heard that the folklore there is the best in the entire Beacon Country, but now he is studying at Dust's house, making new progress every day, so happy that he doesn't want to go to school at all.

His parents are also very open-minded, mainly because the family is rich. After seeing the power of the spell he displayed, they readily agreed that he would temporarily suspend school. As for when to go back to school, it depends on God's will.

Back in Phoenix, Luke packed up what he needed to bring to school.

He had asked in advance that the dormitories at Angrus University are all single rooms plus communal kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets. If you pay extra, you can live in a luxurious dormitory with its own bathroom.

He packed up his things, picked up the admission notice and confirmed it again, it was clearly written:

Dear Luke:
It is my great pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted to the Folklore Department of our school.

Congratulations on your success in the application process and your success in being recognized by our school. We look forward to your talent and enthusiasm, and hope you will discover new opportunities and challenges here. Please welcome us on September 134, 9 in the lighthouse calendar Report to Angrus University.

For more information, please review the attached Admission Guidelines.

Sincerely, Angrus University Admissions Committee

That's right, Luke University Journal is the folklore major.

This was not his choice. Before he traveled here, Yuan himself had a love for mysticism, so he resolutely chose the related folklore major.

Putting the admission notice into his schoolbag, Luke drove to the school in his small broken car, and quickly completed the admission procedures.

Luke, who just sold more than a dozen grams of fine gold, is very rich, so he directly chose the luxury dormitory, put away his things, and rested.

In the previous invasion of the abyss, Luke killed Old William and some abyssal demons, and his experience value reached 31%. Later, when he cleared the abyss polluting creatures, his experience value increased by about 20%. He is already more than halfway away from saving for the next level.

This afternoon, the school organized a welcome ceremony, and all the freshmen gathered in the open-air venue behind the school.

At exactly four o'clock, the bell tower of the church in the school rang the bell for the freshmen, and the old students lined up to let the freshmen enter the venue in their welcome, and then listened to the speeches of the principal, professor representatives and student representatives.

After the boring welcome ceremony, there will be a week-long small welcome event, and freshmen can freely choose to participate according to their hobbies.

In these activities, there are often some popular phenomena such as campus bullying, humiliation of freshmen, or silver parties and other characteristics of Beacon Country.

These activities are designed to help new students quickly adapt to school life and learn about school traditions. They are often the most convenient way for students to meet new friends and make small groups.

If a freshman does not participate in any activities, then he will basically be excluded by everyone in the next few years of college life.

Luke didn't attend the graduation party of high school before, and now he just has a lot of experience.

In short, he definitely didn't want to participate in the silver party.

The school's bulletin board is full of all kinds of orientation evening activities, marking the host, the school and the main content of the event.

Luke saw a prom poster in the middle of the bulletin board at a glance. There was a big photo of a cheerleader stuck in the middle of the poster. The stage lights above the photo were big and white, and the pillars on both sides were straight and long. The sets are simply perfect.

He glanced at the time of the dance party, it will be held tomorrow night, and decided to go to the scene to appreciate it and feel the influence of architectural aesthetics.

Silent all night.

The teaching mode of Angrus University is relatively open. Except for a few compulsory courses, students only need to earn full credits during their four-year college career. It is up to the students to choose which courses and which academic year to choose.

Luke chose fewer courses in the first year and had plenty of time.

There is only one folklore class today.

He arrived in the classroom ahead of time, and there were only a dozen or so sparse people in the large lecture hall.

After waiting for about ten minutes, an old man with grizzled hair and beard walked in. He was holding a textbook in his hand. He seemed to be the teacher of this class.

He first introduced himself: "My name is Harvey Walter. I am a historian and a visiting professor at Miskatonic University. There are two professors in your course, and one of them has been traveling for more than two months. , lost audio, and another one was killed in a terrorist attack a month ago. Since the Folklore Department of Angrus University and Miskatonic University are relatively close, I will temporarily take you for a semester, and also take a break. Recover my poor sanity until your school finds a new folklore teacher."

After finishing speaking, before the students could react, he opened the teaching plan on his own, and began to explain the key content of this course: "Folklore is a subject that studies human society and culture, mainly studies human cultural traditions in different historical periods, Including religion, festivals, etiquette, folk beliefs, etc."

Halfway through, he closed the lesson plan in his hand and threw it on the podium, "Forget it, the lesson plan is useless, I'd better just use the research during this period to share with you."

Seeing him throwing the lesson plan, the drowsy students below cheered up, ready to hear what he had to say.

The old professor began a lengthy statement: "My main research direction before was ancient languages, relics and supernatural phenomena. During the research, I encountered many strange things. I will not share these things with you, lest Then someone would turn out to be weird. Right now, I'm mostly working on 'ogre' to kill boredom and excess curiosity."

Hearing the heavy word "ogre", everyone pricked up their ears, and the few people who had been whispering also sat upright.

Harvey Walter continued: "There have been legends about man-eating monsters since ancient times. But now we only talk about one of them-cannibals."

"About human cannibalism, there is actually a long history in Europa. In Rome more than 2000 years ago, rich merchants believed that eating the blood, liver and muscle of gladiators could cure epilepsy and allow them to inherit their strength."

"It is said that Queen Mary I of England slaughtered more than 2800 pure girls in order to maintain her appearance, drinking and bathing with their blood to maintain her youth. In addition, she is the horror story we are now circulating 'Bloody Mary' One of the prototypes of

"Even the civilians at that time had an extraordinary enthusiasm for eating human beings. They would surround the prisoner's death row, wait for the death row prisoner to be beheaded or hanged, take his blood, cut his body, and even Some hanged prisoners are still struggling, and their flesh, liver and bones have been directly cut off by people who can't wait."

"Of course, I think there is one more thing that everyone should know." The old professor suddenly showed a smile that men can understand, and said: "In addition to fresh corpses, mummies from Africa are also considered to be ground into powder with Its aphrodisiac effect, even now, there are still wealthy businessmen seeking to buy it.”

"Woo!" The male students under the podium all booed disdainfully.

Seeing that the students were all participating in the course interaction, Harvey Walter asked: "Generally speaking, we usually think that eating human beings will bring people extraordinary power, but it will also come with endless power. curses. So, does anyone know what these curses are?"

He looked around and found that no student raised his hand, so he said, "Since there is no student who wants to answer, I will order one."

Familiar with the roll call and questioning session in class, but Lighthouse Country is not like the high school in the previous life. When the teacher asked a question, everyone immediately turned into a quail and huddled. They probably really didn’t know, or they were not interested in answering like Luke.

Harvey Walter scanned the classroom, his eyes lit up when he saw Luke, and he said to him: "That classmate, don't look, it's you, the most handsome one."

The classroom "coaxed" and laughed again, but wait until they see Luke's appearance.

Damn, it's really handsome, it's sour, and the laughter fades away quickly.

Luke didn't want to show off at first, but since the teacher asked a question, it didn't hurt to answer it. He leaned back in his chair and said without thinking, "You may become a Wendigo after cannibalism."

Harvey Walter nodded in satisfaction, "The answer is very good. According to the common legend in the Lighthouse Country, if a person is excessively greedy and unrestrained, or engages in cannibalistic behavior, he will be possessed by evil spirits." , degenerate into wendigo. They are generally especially fond of human flesh, and never get satiated."

"Next, I will share my research during this period with you. When I was tracking the traces of Wendigo, I found a group of people who seemed to be hunting Wendigo non-stop. By chance, , I got some information about them."

Harvey Walter said mysteriously: "They come from a sect. The name of this sect is still unknown, but what is certain is that they believe in a god whose deity is 'cannibal'. This group of people also Keen to hunt and eat humans, they believe that this will bring them supernatural strength and win the favor of the gods."

At this time, a yellow-haired man who looked a bit like a traditional lighthouse school bully and football quarterback raised his hand and asked, "Aren't they all cannibals? Why do they hunt each other down?"

"Good question." Harvey Walter said appreciatively, "I also thought about this question for a long time, and then my confusion was resolved when I overheard their conversation."

"It is said that their gods hate Wendigo very much, thinking that not only do they not know how to eat politely, but they will never be satisfied, seriously disrupting the balance of the food chain, probably just like shepherds hate poaching wild wolves."

"In short, they believe that killing Wendigo will also gain the favor of the gods, so that they can get closer to the gods."

After telling the Wendigo story, the old professor talked a lot, and began to talk about some of his previous archaeological expedition experiences. In terms of customs and customs, he was very specific and true, as if he had really been there.

However, in some places, he concealed himself, spoke vaguely, and in many places the logic was not smooth, which led some people to think that he was bragging and making up stories.

After speaking for a long time, as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the old professor picked up the lesson plan on the podium, leaving the students who were still unsatisfied, and walked out of the classroom.

In the classroom, people are still discussing in twos and threes, some think that the old professor has indeed experienced many bizarre stories, some firmly do not believe it, claiming that there are no monsters and ghosts in the world.

The quarterback Huang Mao saw that Luke hadn't walked out yet, his eyes lit up, and he chased after him with two followers.

"Here it comes, the classic lighthouse national school bullying plot of freshmen," Luke thought, "should I just beat them down for a while, or just reason and then beat them down, and then ask with my hands behind my back, now , what did you learn from this incident?"

He was thinking for a while what posture to use to beat someone would be more handsome, and the yellow hair bumped into his shoulder already familiarly.

Hey?
This intensity is not right, it does not look like a provocation.

Sure enough, the yellow hair said excitedly: "Hey, buddy, you were really cool in class just now, that's the one - Wendigo, how did you know? You must know more about these monsters." , we love these things to death, if we knew that folklore is so cool, why would we apply for a law major!"

Damn it.

Another newly awakened Leonard?
I don't want to be a nanny anymore.

Luke subconsciously kept his distance.

Huangmao should have a pretty good EQ. Seeing Luke's alienation, he said awkwardly: "Brother, I was a little too excited just now, you know, I just came into contact with this magical world, and I can't control myself. "

After finishing speaking, he began to change the subject wittyly: "Tonight, my good brother is hosting a party at the rugby club, and the school's most famous cheerleader, Jennifer, will also participate. Will you come?"

Luke realized that he might be talking about the orientation event he planned to attend today.

It is definitely more convenient to have an acquaintance lead this kind of activity than to go in alone.

Although he is not worried about bullying or anything, it will be much more comfortable to come out to play and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Luke nodded and said, "Okay, I had plans to go."

It was getting late after class, and Huang Mao introduced himself: "My name is Felias Severon, a second-year law student and the quarterback of the school football team."

Luke also responded briefly: "My name is Luke, a freshman in the Folklore College."

"It turned out to be a freshman, no wonder I haven't seen you before." Felias put his shoulders on his shoulders again: "Then tonight you are our protagonist, which girl do you like, tell me, I will give you an assist, I must Take it!"
