Chapter 98 Boarding and Departure
"Where did you go last night?! We didn't find you all night."

Geologist William looked worriedly at his friend whom he hadn't seen all night.

"And what about your outfit?"

The professor of ancient history wore a plain brown cotton and linen jacket and a pair of gray-blue overalls. His attire looked no different from that of ordinary workers. Only the gold-rimmed glasses could reveal a different artistic temperament from the workers.

"I went to visit a friend last night." Wilson said without changing his expression, "He warmly invited me to be a guest at his house."

"However, because I was walking on the road, my clothes were accidentally cut by a pickpocket, so I couldn't wear them anymore." Wilson sighed regretfully, "My friend kindly gave me his clothes as a gift. "

Wilson selectively stated some of the truth.

A lie mixed with the truth is the least likely to be exposed.

In fact, he took a brief bath and changed at the house of the painter Pickman.The painter originally wanted to send him to the subway station, but he refused.

It's faster for him to run alone, he just needs to avoid those pedestrians on the road.When it was almost ten o'clock, he finally arrived at the pier, slowed down, and slowly pretended to have just returned from the outside.

The geologist nodded, not suspecting anything.

"Fortunately, you came back in time. We will board the ship in more than an hour." William pointed to the original camp. Set off.

Even the mysterious wooden box on the truck beside it was gone.Looks like it should have been moved to the boat.

"Captain Linden and Ellis went to the ship first." William said, "If your luggage is not too much, we can board the ship now."

"The captain has already arranged a room for us. I am too tired from traveling these days, and I have experienced such things..."

Every time a geologist thinks of the horrors of that night, he feels a shudder in his soul.

"I don't have much luggage." Wilson said carelessly, walked to the side of the camp, and picked up a slightly old wooden box, which was all his belongings.

At the beginning, he carried this wooden box from New York to Miskatonic University. There were only some basic daily necessities in it, and nothing else.It can be said that this small wooden box is the most valuable thing left to him by his body, except for Miskatonic's invitation letter.

The geologist stared at the small wooden box Wilson was carrying, hesitating to speak.

Although these ordinary scholars and professors generally have no assets, the salaries of professors at Miskatonic University are very generous compared to other universities.One month's salary is comparable to the annual income of an ordinary worker's family.

But did Professor Wilson live a little too poorly?
But Wilson had a calm demeanor and didn't think there was any problem at all.

Geologists are also embarrassed to ask, which may involve the privacy of the other party.Or maybe Professor Wilson himself is a very frugal person.

How to live is the freedom of others, and others have no position to interfere.

The geologist also quickly packed his luggage, which was quite a big box compared to Wilson's.

The two of them came to the pier together.

At this time, the pier was filled with people of all kinds coming and going, some shouting workers, guests from all over the world, and some laid-off workers who lost their jobs and wanted to come here to try their luck.

Wilson saw yellow and black faces in it, skinny and weather-beaten.

He looked at these in silence, pursing his lips slightly.

Then turn your head away and force yourself to focus on the ship.

The port of Boston is one of the most prosperous ports in the entire state of Massachusetts. Its geographical location is superior. Ships from all over the world stop here for supplies every day.

As luck would have it, a cruise ship bound for Japan passed by.Their destination was on the Pacific Ocean, near the Sea of ​​Japan.

It will pass through Mexico and sail to the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal.

Wilson originally thought that they would take an ordinary ship, but the huge ship docked at the port still made him slightly astonished.

In front of them was a huge luxury cruise ship with a black and white staggered hull standing in the harbor like a giant.It sets off the other ships around them like shrimps.

Four huge chimneys stood tall above the cabin, spewing out smoke with an unmistakable gesture.

Even from the perspective of the 21st century, all of them can be considered luxurious.

Even in his previous life, he had never been on such a luxurious passenger ship when he went abroad for business.

Wilson couldn't help but exclaim, "Is our school so rich?"

He turned to look at William, who was a geologist at the University of Michigan, also showing a dazed and shocked expression.

"I remember that the captain didn't arrange this cruise ship yesterday? Did we find the wrong ship?"

William murmured somewhat uneasily.

At this moment, his hair was a little gray, but he was still in good spirits. Captain Linden walked over from the side and greeted them with a smile on his face.

He walked towards the two of them and saw Professor Wilson, who had changed into another outfit, looked him up and down, narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Captain, was this the ship you were talking about yesterday?" William was obviously still unsure, "Is the school funded enough..."

Such a luxurious ship is only the most common ticket, and it is estimated that the price is not small.Not to mention that there are still ten people in their entire expedition team.

No matter how profound the background of Miskatonic University is, it is not so ruined.

"Hahaha, this time it's not money from the school."

Captain Linden smiled slightly, pointed to a person behind him, and said with a little emotion, "It's all thanks to our Ms. Ellis."

The heroic Elizabeth Ellis, with her red hair tied up high and looking extremely crisp, was standing behind Captain Linden, looking at the sea in the distance.

Wilson noticed that the woman seemed to have always enjoyed looking out into the distance.

"Ms. Ellis happened to meet the owner of this ship, so she arranged a luxurious stateroom for us." Captain Linden explained.

At this moment, Ellis seemed to have just heard what they said, turned his head to look at them, and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"In fact, this cruise ship belongs to my brother."
