Chapter 1032 Set Sail Again (Daily)

The lanterns are lit up one by one.

The town of Arkham was once again shrouded in bright lights, and the nightlife officially kicked off amidst the noise.

"Did you read today's daily newspaper? Two more students died in our school. One was covered in mucus and stared, as if he saw some hideous monster."

"The other was burned to death by nameless fire in a room without any traces of burns, but his face showed an expression of enjoyment."

"It's really terrifying. Even my roommate with a deformed mixed race finds it unbelievable."

Near Qingshi Square.

Here is the busiest night market street in the whole town. It looks very quiet during the day, and occasionally pedestrians stop to feed the pigeons.

When night falls, all kinds of stalls are like small mushrooms emerging from the forest after the rain, without any rules to be found, filling the square.

And the source of customers is very fixed, that is, the group of prospective investigators, lecturers, and professors at the University of Michigan.

Of course, there have been some more strange exchange students recently, and the residents have shown a very high acceptance of this, as long as they are willing to give the money honestly.

This moment.

The long-lost elementary school students are complaining to Lu Li. After all, the death rate of the University of Michigan is too high.

It's not every two days, students, or faculty members die every day due to mysterious factors. The town daily has set up a column to report these events.

"If you don't want to, you can study medicine or literature. When the professor throws an olive branch to jointly study the mysterious field, he sternly refuses."

"In this case, after the preparatory course is over, the school will arrange you into the ordinary class..."

Before leaving, Lu Li got together with his old friend again, listened to Yang Kai's complaints, and while answering seriously, couldn't help but think of the previous owner of the cowhide book in his hand.

After graduating from Miskatonic University in that world, he returned to Fog City and worked as a crappy dentist. Later, due to poor management, he was forced to move from the relatively affluent Baker Street to the East End.

Of course, he was obviously willing to be ordinary, and he did not hesitate to give him the relics of his old friends, as if avoiding the plague god.

"Well, the dangers are real, but the rewards are also very desirable."

On the one hand, he was worried about being unknown, and on the other hand, he was eager to gain strength.

This... Lu Li has no idea of ​​comforting others.

In fact, this guy already has the answer in his heart.

"Little ion, how about I go with you?"

At this time, a voice came from above.

A gray-haired mouse with a cute appearance and an unusual temperament, holding a peeled fried chestnut in its hand, gnawing and asking.

"You can honestly stay by Miss Mia's side and wait for me to come back. This is already the best help."

"..."

Although it is really uncomfortable to be underestimated by others, the little mouse knows very well that if he insists on going there, he will only become a burden, and if he dies...

With this in mind, an unashamed answer came:

"Okay, be obedient once."

After finishing the words, he kicked his hind legs lightly and jumped onto the shoulder of Miss Mia who was standing beside her.

In fact, the assembly time will be three hours away, and the train to the pier has temporarily stopped running, and the latest train will have to wait until 8:00 tomorrow morning.

Because of this, the members of the exploration team chose to have fun in the tavern near the pier and waited early.

For Lu Li, this distance would be within a short time, so he was invited to accompany his old friend and eat some good food.

You know, once you go to sea, it will be very difficult to eat fresh vegetables and all kinds of fresh meat, especially the former. If you want to satisfy your hunger, you can stop the boat and fish on the spot, but you can't conjure vegetables out of thin air.

at the market.

There are clothes with styles that meet the public's aesthetics but not very exquisite workmanship, and some weird-looking hand-made old artworks that claim to contain endless secrets——

Undoubtedly, it is a routine specially developed by the college students who voted secrets.

Because they are not ordinary citizens with little money, pursuing the truth all their lives, willing to risk their lives, and even pay more.

Therefore, as long as the seller can weave an interesting story that stands up to scrutiny, prospective investigators don't care about the 99.99% chance of being cheated, but are eager for the remaining one in 10,000.

As for Lu Li...

In line with the idea of ​​cherishing the last experience of prosperity, I watched everything carefully, and then I was attracted by the small stalls exuding various aromas.

Haggis soup, meatballs, fried chestnuts with honey.

Carrying boxes of food, wandering in the plaza where the night breeze is blowing, and buying some small things that are pleasing to the eye, killing the happy time.

In the end, while the two were waving goodbye to each other, Lu Li headed for the dock at a speed close to teleportation.

Before parting, the little guy even gave a gift, saying that he could save lives at a critical moment——

Legend has it that in ancient times when the magic civilization multiplied to its peak, mages could build flying castles in the sky, overlooking the whole land like gods, and they could tear apart the space by lightly moving their fingers and chanting spells. Or summon meteors and change the sky on a large scale.

And the blows of these demigods are sealed in the magic scroll, of course, it depends on the level and type.

【give directions】

This is the ability attached to the scroll given by the little mouse. It is reported that no matter where you go, as long as you activate it, you can sense its location and get an approximate coordinate.

Could it be that they are worried about getting lost on the road of exploration?

Looking at the pocket magic scroll in his hand, which was no bigger than a palm, Lu Li felt quite warm in his heart.

The little guy can't compare to the power of his predecessors. Those earth-shattering spells involving taboo fields have all been annihilated in the ashes of time, but it is inevitable to feel gratified to be able to use the free time to secretly come up with a practical little surprise.

pier.

The night is dark and the moon is dim.

Responsible for guarding the berth and ensuring that it will not be seen by the patrolling personnel who patronize it, there is a steamboat with a large tonnage that can accommodate hundreds of people leaving the small town of Arkham.

In the past, this ship actually caused extensive discussion. Some well-informed maritime merchants claimed that it was a transportation boat, specially used for those giant cruise ships, so it had a strange shape and a relatively luxurious interior. will only be enabled.

So... which giant cruise ship was so unlucky and sank in the vast sea?

Whether this traffic boat was stolen, or something else is hidden.

There is no answer yet.

It has become an extreme northern scientific research ship of Miskatonic University, and the owner is Lu Li, the deputy team leader and an excellent exchange student.

These will be recorded in the school history.

Although there are only a few lines, it can be regarded as a different kind of geese passing by. Perhaps later archaeological students will see such a sentence and continue to explore along the relevant route.

Captain's cabin.

"Sail, set sail."

After eating and drinking at the market, Lu Li made a cup of instant coffee and easily completed the steering work, looking familiar with the driving.

And he was alone in the whole process.

Tomorrow, I will continue to add more updates for the leader, and there are still five chapters to go~
