Chapter 190 Random Thoughts

Annan followed the college's mechanical puppets in the wide and deserted corridors.

The college is very quiet.

Annan focused his gaze forward as much as possible. The thing above his head was a bit too exciting for him.

He didn't know if the thing would notice his gaze. If the thing sensed his gaze and then looked at him, the joke would be too big.

In order to distract himself, Annan tried hard to look around at the situation.

The overall structure of the quiet college is similar to a huge castle, or a fortress.

It's like those castles in the Middle Ages, except this place feels extremely large and some parts don't seem to make sense.

For example, there are actually plants here.

Annan looked at the ornamental plants on the side of the aisle and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

You must know that this is the other world, and there is no grass in the other world.

The world here is completely barren. This strange place cannot breed any life, and there is no natural environment at all.

He had heard from the magic professor before that some explorers of the other world wanted to artificially plant crops on the lifeless land of the other world.

Those people tried many methods, but the result was a complete failure.

However, there are real plants in the academy.

Annan was basically certain that the plants in the small garden next to them were real plants and not fake.

"There shouldn't be anything special about these plants. They are really just ordinary plants. They are probably not cultivated using black magic."

Annan had heard about the magic of the academy, but experiencing it personally was another matter.

Even if we don't talk about plants, the mechanical doll leading the way in front of him can probably only be seen in this place.

Annan looked up and down at the mechanical doll openly.

Unlike the automaton next to a certain stargazer from the observatory, the academy's automaton doesn't look human at all.

Apart from the four long arms, the mechanical doll's appearance seems to have been deliberately unmodified. The iron-colored shell clearly reveals the gears and springs inside.

It doesn't have any clothes on it because it doesn't need them.

The head of this thing is a spherical shape, and then there are two exposed gears as eyes, and the rest of the decoration is completely absent.

When it moves, the structure inside makes a clearly audible sound, but I don't know if it is an engine. It may be some kind of academy's proprietary magic technology.

It can be said that apart from being humanoid, this mechanical doll does not resemble a human being at all.

The mechanical doll should not be able to make any sounds, otherwise there would be no need to keep holding cardboard with different words written on it.

As for whether this thing is intelligent or not, it is difficult to say. It will only be clear after further understanding.

Maybe it could be controlled from a distance, or it could be run by a set internal program.

"That Munch guy's automaton is really different from others."

Annan had tried hard to distract himself, but he still wanted to look at the sky again.

If it hadn't been for that thing above, he would have been able to observe the sky above the academy more clearly.

In the previous glimpse, although the thing above attracted most of his attention, he still vaguely saw something unusual in the sky of the academy.

In the sky of the college, neither the moon of any color nor the stars can be seen.

It should be said that the academy seems to be shrouded in some unknown phenomenon.

There is light in the sky of the college, maybe it is seeping in from outside, but the light source cannot be found.

Annan didn't know if it was a barrier for the college to hide its existence, but he didn't think it was.

He felt that it was a phenomenon.

"The academy is really full of mysteries and secrets."

Annan told himself not to seek death and not to look up at that thing.

The thing above must be alive and definitely not his hallucination.

It is impossible for the academy not to know about the existence of that thing, but how many people can discover it is another question.

"Is it because my spiritual vision and inspiration are too high?"

Annan was not so much frightened by the thing above as it was some kind of instinctive resistance.

He couldn't look at the thing, he couldn't be seen by the thing.

Something very bad will happen.

"When will you arrive at the registration office?"

Annan felt that he had been thinking wildly for a long time, but when he thought about it carefully, he actually followed the mechanical doll in front of him for less than a few minutes.

"Is this how a second feels like a year? I'm too nervous."

Annan finally left the aisle shortly after.

The mechanical doll opens a door to the interior of the building.

The interior of the gate cannot be said to be magnificent, but you can indeed feel a sense of history. The decoration inside is really very classical, as if you have returned to the Middle Ages.

However, this does not mean that the equipment here is backward.

The environment inside the college is very neat and clean, and the lights are bright. These bright light sources are not made of magic, but are obviously electric lights.

"I just can't see other people, nor can I see similar mechanical dolls."

Annan couldn't feel the presence of anyone nearby. He didn't know whether it was because the castle was too big or because the number of members in the academy was too small.

The mechanical doll walked forward inside the castle for a few minutes, and finally stopped in front of a certain room.

It swiftly raised the cardboard in its hand.

【Please enter the registration office】

Annan nodded, knocked on the door gently, and then pushed it open and went in.

In fact, the door to the room in front of me is already ajar, but it's better to be polite.

"please come in."

The room was smaller than expected. It should be a private office.

There was a man in his early thirties in a room that seemed a bit messy with various items placed there.

This is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes with oriental characteristics.

His clothes were ordinary and very modern, as if he was not in a mysterious academy but an ordinary school.

"You are really well prepared."

The man smiled slightly at Annan, who was dressed up and wearing a mask.

He was completely not surprised by the newcomer's appearance.

"Hello, I am a professor at the college. You can call me Jiuxiao."

It was obvious that the man's name was not his real name, but a code name.

"Please take out your badge."

Annan had no doubt that he was there. He took out the college badge from his arms and showed it to the college professor.

"let me see……"

College professor Jiuxiao picked up a piece of dark yellow parchment from his desk.

Annan noticed that paragraph after paragraph of text appeared on the originally blank parchment.

He seemed to see his own name.

"Annan Gülen, from the United States of Matatec."

Jiuxiao nodded and put down the parchment.

The parchment at this time was blank, without any text.

"Welcome. Since you have come to the academy, it proves that you are qualified to become one of us. Now, let me, a senior, tell you some basic things about the academy."
