"Then you bought this notebook?" Sawada Yaon asked with a smile.
Shimazu Nakano nodded and said: "Yes, Eric's other collections are just like that in my eyes, but this notebook is quite attractive to me, because the Miskatonic University Organization
Regardless of the results, those expedition teams will not disclose their experiences and gains to the outside world. Therefore, if you want to know what these expedition teams have experienced, you can either talk to the members of the expedition team, or take a look at notebooks like this.
So I actually still have several notebooks from Miskatonic University.”
Having said this, Shimazu Nakano suddenly sighed and said with an expression recalling the past: "If I had not become the successor to the head of the Shimadzu family, then in all likelihood I would have gone to the mysterious Miskatonic University.
I wanted to study as a major because I had already received the admission notice from Miskatonic University at that time, but as the next head of the Shimadzu family, I couldn’t leave the island country, so I had no choice but to give up and go to Miskatonic University.
Opportunities at Catonic University.”
Hearing what Shimazu Nakano said, Liu Xing and others were all surprised, because Liu Xing and others did not expect Shimazu Nakano to be admitted to the Department of Occult Studies at Miskatonic University that year. You must know that Miskatonic University
Tonic University can be said to be the undisputed number one university in this parallel world, and it has always been adhering to the principle of not filling in the gaps. Therefore, many majors admit only a small number of students all year round, especially mysticism.
The reason why occultism is called occultism is naturally because it is very mysterious to ordinary people. Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people will not be able to come into contact with the real content of occultism in their lifetime. As for the 1% who have
Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people who have the opportunity to come into contact with occult content will never be human again.
Of course, the most important thing is that occultism does not have a relatively complete system like other majors. Therefore, Miskatonic University's occultology major only looks at interview scores when admitting students, and the interviews here are also
It not only tests your knowledge of common mythical creatures such as ghouls and shoggoths, but also asks you about your views on certain famous figures in history, such as Ebon, Alhassad, etc.
Finally, it is also the final big question of the occult major—simulation operation!
According to a post posted by a boss who has been promoted to the Cthulhu area, it was mentioned that when the occult major interviews students, as long as the students can pass the interview, they will be arranged to conduct a so-called simulation operation.
The location for entering the simulation operation is in the back mountain of Miskatonic University. There is a cave there that only students and professors majoring in occult science can enter. This cave contains a large number of magic props, and these magic props are all from Miskatonic University.
The expeditions organized by Catonic University over the years brought them back through life and death... Of course, in addition to the magic props in this cave, there are also many mythical creatures brought back by the expeditions.
Therefore, the simulation operation of the occult major requires applicants to take out a specified type of magic prop from a cave. It is worth mentioning here that Miskatonic University does not arrange for medical students and teachers to participate in this
Stand by outside the cave.
As a result, simulation operations in the occult major generally only have a 30% pass rate and a 70% accidental death and injury rate.
Fortunately, the students who apply for Miskatonic University's occult major are very "reasonable", so so far no parents of students have come to Miskatonic University to ask for an "explanation."
From this point of view, Shimazu Nakano was indeed a ruthless character at that time, otherwise he would not have been able to get the admission notice from Miskatonic University's occult major.
"Well, not to mention the bravery of a good man, at that time, I still couldn't let go of the vanity in my heart, and I couldn't let go of my position as the head of the Shimadzu family. So over the years, I often asked my friends to go to that bar to buy and mysterious things.
Items related to learning, especially this kind of notebook, but the most important thing is that this notebook records a lot of content about the island country. In addition to the Kingdom of Tindalos that once appeared in Ziwu City, it also involves the legendary Huangquan.
country." Shimazu Nakano said seriously.
"Yellow Spring Country?!"
Sawada Yaon couldn't help but exclaimed: "Does Huangquan Kingdom really exist? How is this possible?"
Shimazu Nakano shook his head and said with a smile: "How is that impossible? Since Princess Taketori is real, then of course legendary ancient gods and mythical creatures like Amaterasu and Yamata no Orochi are also real.
Yes, so of course the places in Huangquan Kingdom that appear in myths are not made up casually, but these places are not in the real world."
Sawada Yaon nodded in understanding and said, "Mr. Nakano, do you mean that places like Huangquan Kingdom are located in the dreamland?"
"Yes, the Kingdom of Huangquan is indeed located in the dreamland, and there are still many ancient gods living in the Kingdom of Huangquan. Of course, the Kingdom of Huangquan is just the name of our island country. If it were replaced by Chinese people, it would be called
Heaven, people in Europe might call it the Garden of Eden, because the ancient gods who live there also come from all over the world." Shimazu Nakano said with a smile.
Now Liu Xing and others also became energetic.
Seeing that Liu Xing and others were all curious, Shimazu Nakano continued: "According to Eric's notes, he followed Professor Frank to participate in an expedition five years ago. This expedition originally planned to go
A small island in the Pacific Ocean was investigated because this small island occasionally releases a very special electromagnetic wave. This electromagnetic wave will interfere with all electronic instruments within a hundred miles, so from time to time there will be equipment on airplanes and ships.
Therefore, it fails. For ships, it is okay to say that there is no big problem if the equipment fails temporarily. As long as the island stops releasing electromagnetic waves, or the ship leaves the interference range of electromagnetic waves, it will be fine. But when an aircraft encounters such electromagnetic waves, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, planes often disappear in that sea area, or to put it more directly, they crash. The most famous plane disappearance incident is the disappearance of Amelia Earhart."
Amelia Earhart?
Hearing this name, Liu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because this Amelia Earhart was the most famous female pilot in history and had set many records. The reason why Liu Xing knew this was because she was in college.
When she was a student, a female classmate often mentioned that Earhart was her idol. Later, this female classmate actually changed her career and became a female pilot.
When Sawada Yaon heard the name Earhart, her expression was exactly the same as Liu Xing's, "Earhart? She is one of the few idols I have. I heard about her deeds when I was in junior high school.
, I went to Hawaii to learn to fly a plane during the summer vacation. If I hadn't been too young at that time, I should have flown around the world in a plane by now; but then again, Earhart did in the end.
She disappeared in the Pacific, and the main reason for her disappearance was that the plane she was piloting malfunctioned and could not receive nearby communication signals, resulting in her being unable to find her original landing site on the endless sea."
"Yes, Earhart's plane was affected by the electromagnetic waves released by the island, which caused the equipment on the plane to receive communication signals to malfunction. At the same time, some other instruments also had more or less problems. Therefore,
Earhart's plane completely deviated from its original flight path, and finally crashed on that small island - Earhart Island, yes, because that small island was originally just an unknown island in the Pacific Ocean
, so after the expedition discovered the anomalies on the island and discovered the wreckage of Earhart’s plane, the island was named Earhart Island.”
"However, because Earhart was a national idol at the time, her crash was widely reported at that time, so now it has to be treated coldly. After all, ordinary people would rather believe that Earhart's plane encountered aliens.
It is impossible to believe that an uninhabited island can send electromagnetic waves to the surroundings from time to time. Of course, some people think that this uninhabited island is the work of aliens, so the Earhart crash is still a mystery to this day.
It's an unsolved mystery because those who know it don't know how to explain it reasonably."
"As for why this small island sends out electromagnetic waves from time to time, after investigation by Eric and others, they discovered an outpost of the ancients. Most of the devices in this outpost have failed, but there is one function.
The device used to shield the signals around the outpost is sometimes good or bad, so this device will send out an electromagnetic wave with a shielding effect from time to time; but the most important thing is that Eric and the others did not discover El at the beginning.
Hart and the other pilot's remains, and the plane did not suffer too serious damage when it landed."
"So, Eric and others thought that Earhart and another pilot, at least one of them, should have lived in this outpost for a period of time, so they decided to conduct another carpet test in the outpost.
After a series of searches to bring the remains of Earhart and another pilot back to Miskatonic University, they accidentally discovered a door leading to Dreamland in this outpost.
At the same time, they did not find the remains of Earhart and another pilot, but they found some traces of their lives and clues that they entered the dreamland - Earhart's diary."
"The content of this diary is very simple. It records that after Earhart made an emergency landing on the island, he accidentally discovered this futuristic outpost, which made Earhart and another person
The pilots were shocked, and after confirming that there were no aliens in the outpost, they moved into the outpost. However, it wasn't long before they discovered the door to the dreamland again, and it turned out that another pilot
After entering the dreamland, he never came out, so after writing the last diary entry, Earhart entered the door of the dreamland...Obviously, Earhart also never came back.
.”
"I believe everyone can guess the next story, because the expedition teams of Miskatonic University are famous for not being afraid of death, so Eric and others entered the dreamland without hesitation. As a result, they
They discovered a city filled with humans from all over the world, and these people all use a language called human language to communicate, but the most important thing is that Eric and others found Elha
Especially, you must know that Earhart should have been a centenarian at this time, but because this is a dreamland, Earhart still looks exactly the same as he did then."
"When Earhart learned that Eric and others found this place to investigate the mystery of her disappearance, she warmly received Eric and others and told Eric and others about this city.
situation; this city is called World City, because this city was built by gods from all over the world. Yes, Huangquan Kingdom is behind this World City, but it is separated by a layer of barrier.
Separated by the city, humans in the City of the World cannot enter the Underworld under normal circumstances, but if the City of the World is attacked by surrounding mythical creatures, the ancient gods in the Underworld will come to help."
"As for why there are humans from all over the world in the City of the World, it is because there are hundreds of doors to the Dreamland around the City of the World. You must know that under normal circumstances, there are only a few doors in the Dreamland.
There is a dream door, so Eric and others speculated that these dream doors were brought by the ancient gods so that they could return to their hometown at any time; as for what Eric drew in his notebook
The map of the Underworld was jointly drawn by several humans who were lucky enough to have entered the Underworld, but I think the completeness of this map needs to be considered."
Shimazu Nakano took a sip of water, shook his head and sighed: "There is a rule in World City, that is, humans who enter World City must either choose to stay in World City, or they will never be able to set foot in the world again after returning to the real world.
City, through the Dreamland Gate around the World City, and the Dreamland Gate they entered and exited will be permanently closed, so it is impossible for us to pass through the Dreamland Gate on Earhart Island again.
Going to the World City... This is really a pity. I originally planned to go to the World City to rest in peace after passing the title of head of the family to Shimazu Hiromichi."
Hearing what Shimazu Nakano said, two words instantly appeared in Liu Xing's mind.
