Black smoke was billowing. After the firefighters came to extinguish the fire, Qin Yu and his group entered the archives room. One-third of the files in the entire archives room had been burned, and countless documents were scattered on the ground.
"These texts are precious information, this..."
Malcolm looked at the ashes on the ground and almost cried. However, when Qin Yu looked around, he discovered a strange phenomenon.
This archive room is divided into three floors. The first floor was burned down, and the first floor was also divided into three rooms. The other two rooms were intact.
"Malcolm, what are the files stored in this room now?" Qin Yu couldn't help but ask.
"This archive stores the honors the school has received in the past, as well as some important things that have happened from the founding of the school to the present." Malcolm answered.
"It's the same as what I guessed. That thing didn't want us to guess his origin." Qin Yu sighed inwardly and burned the files about learning past history. Obviously, he didn't want them to know what happened in the school in the past.
Important things.
Although the files were burned, this also allowed Qin Yu to confirm his thinking. If that thing is so afraid that they will know about the school's past, his first goal is to find out the school's past in detail.
"Mr. Malcolm, I believe that all files now should be archived electronically. These paper documents are more for preserving symbolic meaning." Qin Yu looked at Malcolm and said.
"Mr. Qin, you are right. All documents have been entered into the school's system and can be checked."
Malcolm nodded, and immediately arranged for several staff members to clean up the scene and investigate the cause of the accident, while he took Qin Yu to the computer room nearby.
Malcolm opened the school's management system, entered a password, and called up a document. Qin Yu felt dizzy when he looked at the dense English on it, and suggested from the side: "Print out all these information, and see
Make it easier."
All the documents are printed out and cover thousands of pages. This is a record of all major events in the University of London from its founding to today.
"Focus on what happened when the school was first established. Meng Yao, you and Malcolm will translate it together. Qian Lao and I will go outside and take a look."
Qin Yu planned to hand over the translation of these contents to Meng Yao, and he and Mr. Qian left the archives room and walked towards other places on the campus.
"Master Qin, the thing condensed from this aura also has its own instinctive consciousness. This is the first time I have seen it in my life." Mr. Qian's expression looked a little worried, just like the amusement park aura he solved ten years ago.
The problem is that the child just has some instinctive awareness of aura and has always been walking on the merry-go-round, so he can make a merry-go-round on the top floor to attract the other person, and then let it slowly disappear as time goes by.
.
"The University of London has an amazing secret." Qin Yu squinted his eyes and looked forward. After a while, he turned sideways and sighed towards Mr. Qian.
"Master Qin, there is such a characteristic in the location selection of schools in our country. They all like to build in cemeteries. Firstly, because the land in cemeteries is cheap, and secondly, because the schools have a healthy atmosphere and can be suppressed and live in cemeteries. This London
Is it possible that the same is true for the university, and there is also a cemetery down here?”
"This possibility is very small." Qin Yu shook his head. The national conditions of the two countries are different. People here in London have long been accustomed to burials in cemeteries, and it is impossible to use cemeteries to build colleges.
"Hey, there are quite a few boulders like this in London University."
Qin Yu glanced ahead and found another boulder that was about the same size as the one he had found at the entrance to the villa area where Meng Yao and the others lived.
"Mr. Qian, what do you think the shape of this boulder looks like?" Qin Yu pointed at the boulder and asked Mr. Qian.
"It looks like a cow." After listening to Qin Yu's words, Mr. Qian observed carefully for a while before replying.
"It looks very similar to a cow. I just don't know what the purpose of the people from the University of London is to put a stone like this here for viewing? But there are teaching buildings on both sides. Putting this stone in the middle looks weird.
It’s a little awkward.”
Qin Yu seemed to be very interested in this boulder. He circled it several times and even rubbed his hand on the stone surface that had become smooth due to wind and rain.
"Let's go, let's go see other places."
After a few minutes, Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward with Mr. Qian. The campus of the University of London is very large. At the current speed of Qin Yu and Mr. Qian, it is estimated that they can almost finish the tour in one day.
"Mr. Qian, how much do you know about the University of London?"
"Although I have been in the UK, I don't know much about the University of London. Apart from the fact that the University of London is now the fourth-ranked school in the world, another thing is that the influence of the University of London in the hearts of British people is terrifying."
Qian Lao looked at Qin Yu and explained: "The University of London was established after the second industrial revolution. At that time, there were only two institutions of higher learning in the UK, Cambridge and Oxford. However, both schools were religious in nature and only allowed people to believe in religion.
Christian people and local aristocratic children entered to study. However, due to the rapid development of the industrial revolution, society increasingly needed people with high knowledge. Therefore, some emerging classes at that time cooperated to found University College London, which is a British university.
The first institution of higher learning open to everyone, it broke the church’s monopoly on culture and was called the cradle of the rise of the common people by the British.”
"However, the University of London did not receive royal recognition at that time, and was even suppressed by the church. In order to contain University College London, the church founded King's College London. However, for unknown reasons later, University College London received royal recognition.
, promulgated a royal charter, and merged with King's College to become the predecessor of the current University of London."
"Annexing the college founded by the church?" Qin Yu was stunned when he heard this. Religious elements are extremely stubborn. It is not easy to make them change their minds. How could University College London do this?
?
"Maybe only the royal family and the church know about this, but I don't know if the University of London will leave any information. We can ask Mr. Malcolm then."
Mr. Qian's words made Qin Yu nod his head and did not dwell on the issue anymore. Qin Yu turned his eyes and suddenly waved to a student walking by and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"I would like to ask, are there many stones like this in this school?"
The person Qin Yu called out was a foreign girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She looked at Qin Yu and Mr. Qian carefully for a while before replying: "There are seven such stones in our school."
"Seven yuan?" When Qin Yu heard this answer, he had a confused look on his face. According to his speculation, the amount should not be so small.
"Thank you, classmate."
After the foreign girl left, Mr. Qian saw the confused expression on Qin Yu's face and asked, "What happened to Master Qin? Did you find anything wrong?"
"No, it's just that the answer was a bit beyond my expectation." Qin Yu shook his head with a smile, dropped the topic, and continued walking forward.
Passing through the two teaching buildings is an open-air stadium. At this time, two football teams are playing a game on the field, and there are also a group of students cheering around.
"Mr. Qian, let's go take a look."
Seeing the game, the corners of Qin Yu's mouth turned up slightly, he said hello to Mr. Qian, and walked straight towards the stadium.
"Master Qin, this..."
Qian Lao looked at Qin Yu's figure with a look of helplessness on his face. What time had it been? He was still in the mood to watch the football match. However, Qin Yu ignored him at all and strode forward. He could only smile bitterly.
He shook his head and followed.
"This kick, oh, what a pity."
When Mr. Qian followed Qin Yu and walked to Qin Yu's side, Qin Yu was looking at the shooting action just now with a sigh on his face. Unfortunately, the ball missed the target and flew directly over the top of the net.
Many students shook their heads and sighed like Qin Yu. Mr. Qian watched Qin Yu blend in with these students and stood speechless. He was about to ask, but was interrupted by Qin Yu.
"Don't ask anything, just watch the game with peace of mind." Qin Yu made a silent gesture towards Mr. Qian, and then turned his attention to the court. What Qian Lao was about to say was suppressed by Qin Yu.
I can stand aside angrily.
This football match must have been going on for a long time. Some students on the field are no longer so active in running. Except for the two forwards who are still running on the field, most of the students are only in fixed areas and have one foot.
Not even a kick.
Although Mr. Qian is old, he still knows a little about football. He really doesn't understand why Qin Yu can watch it with great interest. This is obviously just an amateur-level game. And, most importantly, they
Time is very tight now. Is it really worth wasting time on such a game?
"Mr. Qian, which team do you think will win this game?"
Just when Mr. Qian was puzzled, Qin Yu suddenly turned around and asked him.
"Win? The blue team should win, right?" Qian Lao looked at the teams on the field and randomly guessed one team.
"I bet the red team will win." A smile appeared on Qin Yu's face, because he saw someone on the red team's side holding up a sign and asking for a substitution. A young man with silver hair stepped onto the
Arena.
"Master Qin thinks this silver-haired young man is the red team's hidden trump card?"
Although Mr. Qian doesn't know much about football, he becomes better with age. If a team chooses to make a substitution at the last moment, it must be the team's trump card. He still understands Sun Tzu's Art of War.
"You'll know after you read it." (To be continued)
