Arkham is a quiet and peaceful town. It was first established by travelers from afar. It has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Everyone who lives here has a warm smile on their face.
The residents are warm and hospitable, very welcome to the arrival of foreigners, and are committed to making every guest here feel at home and have a wonderful experience.
Miskatonic University is the pride of their Arkham town. Not every university is called Miskatonic.
It is the most representative institution of higher learning in the entire state of Massachusetts, with senior scholars from all over the country. The school museum has a rich collection. I don’t know how many people are thinking about the collection of UM.
The University of Michigan welcomes adventurers from all over the world who are eager to find the truth and explore reality.
After revealing part of the truth about the world, Mr. Armitage, the library director, enthusiastically invited Wilson, the new professor of ancient history, to visit the campus of the University of Michigan and took him to visit the simple town of Arkham.
Professor Wilson was very happy, but his stomach made a lot of unsatisfactory gurgling sounds.
At this time, they happened to arrive at the central street of Arkham Town.
Wilson tried his best to keep his face expressionless.
Curator Armitage looked at him and smiled gently: "I know a French restaurant with good food."
"But..." Wilson spread his hands helplessly, "I don't have much money with me. I spent all my savings when I came here."
Wilson scolded a certain bastard financial liar again in his heart. He didn't have much hatred towards the swindler himself, but it was because that bastard took away all the money in his human body that he was reduced to relying on photosynthesis.
Function to survive the day.
Speaking of which...
He has never had a good meal since he traveled here.
The only thing I ate yesterday was brown bread that Wilson had left over from the previous days.
Curator Armitage smiled gently: "It's okay, you came out with me today."
"Gulu——"
Wilson's stomach twitched with emotion, and he continued to remain expressionless.
"In fact, you can explain this matter to Mr. Ball." Director Armitage took Wilson to a restaurant and said friendly, "He is responsible for all the miscellaneous things on campus. The school will
Provide placement-related costs.”
"Thank you very much, Director Armitage."
Wilson politely thanked him, then recalled the Western etiquette, picked up the knife and fork, and then saw Director Armitage praying silently and reciting some words of thanks.
"..."
Wilson put down his knife and fork without changing his expression, and imitated Director Armitage and began to pray.
Careless again...
Every detail here shows that it is incompatible with his past.
"Actually, I'm not a devout believer." Curator Armitage noticed Wilson's strangeness and smiled friendlyly, "This is just my habit over the years."
"Well." Wilson concealed his discomfort with a gentle smile, "I often eat alone and am not used to being with others."
He made up a random reason.
Wilson in the memory was also used to praying before meals. But that was only the behavior of his human body. Although Nanke inherited the memory, it was like watching a holographic movie and could not experience it personally.
Director Armitage observed the young professor in front of him.
Compared to him, Wilson was considered his junior. He knew Professor Wilson's mentor, Jones, but only met a few times. He didn't like that gloomy and weird guy very much.
Professor Wilson was a student of Professor Jones, and had experienced dissatisfaction in life. Director Armitage originally thought that he would meet a similarly gloomy and depressed person.
But getting along...
Professor Wilson really surprised him.
Those light-colored eyes have been observing the world calmly. Although they were well hidden, Director Armitage noticed them.
At certain times, Professor Wilson behaves like an indifferent bystander, observing everything around him and being out of tune with the world.
Just like today, Director Armitage can be sure that Professor Wilson is imitating him.
This is true even during the meal. Wilson is trying his best to integrate himself into the environment, observing the actions of people around him, imitating, and acting.
If he hadn't confirmed it with Requiem before, Armitage would have really thought that he had been replaced by something.
But even so, Director Armitage still did not completely let down his guard.
How many tragedies are just unintentional mistakes at the beginning that lead to serious troubles later?
Especially when faced with an existence beyond imagination...
Who knows what impact the nightmare had on Wilson's psyche?
"Professor Wilson, do you have any ideas about the textbooks for the new semester?" Director Armitage calmly changed to a normal topic, "The last professor who studied ancient Chinese history used the materials that the old gentleman
Textbooks written by myself.”
"..."
Wilson swallowed the food in his mouth silently.
The corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.
He didn't know what to say at all.
Professor Wilson himself has not done much research on ancient Chinese history. And he does not know what history textbooks were published in the early 20th century.
He was also a new professor and had no idea how to teach, let alone what teaching materials to use.
"Well... I want to take the students to learn Chinese first." Although Wilson didn't know anything, he still put on a confident attitude. He tried hard to recall his elementary school Chinese class, "After all, I don't know much about ancient Chinese history.
As far as research is concerned, we can’t break away from that ancient Eastern country and just talk about research, right?”
"First we have to let them learn Chinese, and then we can take them to study ancient documents and materials. I have prepared various traditional ancient books and documents. They are traditional Chinese works such as the famous "The Analects of Confucius" and "Tao Te Ching".
Let them experience the charm of ancient Chinese historiography."
Wilson was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and paired with his serious expression, it turned out to be quite bluffing.
The worst case scenario is that each student will be asked to buy a dictionary... The Xinhua Dictionary has not been published yet, should it be the Kangxi Dictionary?
Then let them memorize the "Three Character Classic", "The Thousand Character Classic", "The Analects of Confucius" and so on... In short, we arranged the primary school Chinese class.
He can guarantee that when the time comes, those little foreigners will have a deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture after learning everything he assigned them.
As Wilson spoke, he almost believed it.
Curator Armitage also felt that there was nothing wrong with Wilson's deception.
He glanced at Professor Wilson with relief.
It seems that some kind of force may have turned Professor Wilson into something strange, but Professor Wilson has not forgotten his original identity, and he still loves and protects his students.
