I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Why does my sister receive such submissions?
Lloyd was really surprised.

Today, he specifically searched for the Mizkatok University mentioned by the presiding judge in the library, and found only a few words about it.

They say 'the highest institution of learning that extraordinary people dream of', 'the true palace of knowledge', 'at the forefront of mystery and transcendence', 'beyond the times, beyond human beings, beyond reality' and so on. They have a lot of titles.

But there is no substantive content at all. After watching it for a long time, Royd didn't even know how big it was, how many people there were, or what the subjects were...

All I know is that everyone seems to be flocking to it, but only the top geniuses can enter.

That's why Lloyd went to the club to inquire.

Judging from the manager's reaction at the time, it seemed that the place was quite mysterious. It was actually on the same level as the 'Dream Theater' of unknown origin, which made Lloyd even more curious.

But he was not in a hurry, he just wanted to know in advance. The presiding judge said that he would not be allowed to enroll until he was promoted to the third level. The process seemed quite complicated?Maybe a top powerhouse at the level of the Grand Judge is needed to help?
But I didn't expect that my sister would actually receive a submission about where?

Lloyd quickly looked at it seriously.

The first sentence above is a bit scary:

"If you saw this letter, then I should have been burned..."

The following content is probably a description of two 'strange things' that happened at Mizkatok University from the perspective of a faculty member.

The first is a study room that is always occupied.

No one knows which teaching building it is in, and no one knows which floor it is on. Finding it seems to require some luck and fate?
No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, there are always people in that study room, early in the morning and midnight, and there are always lights on.

Sometimes there are three or two, sometimes there are as many as a dozen.

They are not very good at abiding by the rules of the study room. They are always reading books and making some vague whispers.

But if you get closer and listen carefully, you will hear them talking about various legends in the school, which will mention various strange things that happened in various places in the school.

Seeing this, Lloyd's eyes moved down again, and a shocking line of blood-red characters jumped into his eyes:

"Those legends are all true! They are all true!! They are all true!!! But don't believe it! Don't believe it!! Don't believe it!!!"

This line of text occupies almost half a page of manuscript paper, and the ink used is as red as blood, which is scary at first glance.

But it probably wasn't written in blood, otherwise it wouldn't be so red, but would be very dark.

As for saying it was 'true' and saying 'don't believe it', the contradictory statements attracted Lloyd to continue reading.

It turns out that several students once walked into that study room by chance, believed the legends, and ran to investigate in confusion.

The result never came back...

After that, students would walk into this study room every semester, so many students were 'lost'. As a result, the school had to issue regulations prohibiting talking about this study room in the school.

But there are still students who encounter this study room, enter it unconsciously, and then disappear into an unknown corner.

"If you encounter it, don't enter, lower your head, close your eyes, cover your ears with one hand, light the candlestick with one hand, and then run in the direction of the swaying candlelight, run, run faster, and be in time Before they catch up..."

This is the end of the first part of the story.

Lloyd's scalp felt numb for a while, and when he thought that he might go in to study later, he couldn't help but move closer to Everol.

But Everol said with a bad smile:

"Hehe, if Xiaoyi is scared, you can hide in your sister's arms."

Lloyd was stunned, then stretched out his hand to gently scratch the soles of his sister's feet wearing white stockings. Taking advantage of the opportunity when she reached out to protect him, he grabbed the hammerhead shark doll from her arms and hugged her tightly. Then continue watching the second story.

The second story takes place in an old school association. It is a radical association that is keen on exploring the mysteries of occultism. It is very popular and almost every student related to occultism wants to join.

But on the third day of a new semester, this association suddenly disappeared.

Whether it was the members of the association, the meeting places, or the various journals they produced, all the records they left behind inexplicably disappeared overnight.

"At first we thought it was an accident caused by their overly radical occult research. This kind of thing is not uncommon in places like Mizkatok. All kinds of accidents happen here every day. It was once used by students It was jokingly called the 'Disastrous School' until the school came forward and banned this loose title..."

"But none of us thought that this accident almost destroyed the entire university..."

“On the fourth day of this semester, the second day after the gang disappeared, everyone felt that an uneasy atmosphere began to permeate the college... Some people thought this might be related to the disappeared gang, and some people They thought it was another accident..." "Anyway, we take this very seriously and have assigned three senior teachers to investigate the disappearance of the association..."

What follows is a description of the findings of each of the three teachers.

The first to bear the brunt was the oldest and most powerful teacher. He committed suicide by a lakeside in the school, taking out his own heart...

At his feet, there was an investigation report with a sketch depicting what he saw.

It was a paradise-like country, gorgeous and colorful, with everyone gathered in a circle, singing and dancing happily.

Then came the second teacher. He suddenly went crazy in his dormitory. He kept saying words that no one could understand, and tried to break his fingers and arms. His whole body became bloody, as if under the skin The capillaries burst at the same time.

But he was not transformed into a monster, he was just sent to a mental hospital, and returned to teach when the next semester started.

It's just that he has forgotten the process of that investigation, or maybe he wants to deliberately hide something.

And the last teacher No. 3 dug up a pile of fossils on the site where the gang met daily...

Human fossils...

Their skeletons were left on a huge rock wall under the pressure of a long period of time and the heavy crust. They are very well preserved and are clearer and more complete than the fossil handicrafts processed outside. You can feel them through the body movements of the skeletons. to their fear and despair before death.

The specific gender of the number of people above is exactly the same as the gender of the number of people who disappeared in the association...

"This should be just a coincidence. We all know that the time required to form fossils is measured in 'hundred million'."

"But the senior teacher confirmed that this was the missing association and wanted to investigate further, but was forced to stop by the school. As a result, the precious fossil was destroyed and smashed into a lot of pieces."

"The teacher was very dissatisfied with the outcome and announced his resignation on the spot, left Mizkatok, and decided to continue the investigation on his own."

"It was at the end of this semester that I heard the news about him again - he was dead. He died in the dark alley behind the pub. A group of homeless people robbed him of all the valuable things and then smashed them. His head.”

"Since then, Occultism has become the most rigorous subject in Mizkatok. Only students with the best grades have the opportunity to choose this course, and only the most powerful teachers can teach this course."

The second story ends here.

At the end, Lloyd saw a line of statement:
"This story is purely fictitious. If there are any similarities, I am very honored."

Then there is a signature that is joking:
Unemployed temporary workers.

Seeing this, Lloyd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were all fiction. If they were true, Mizkatok University was really that dangerous and people would disappear for no apparent reason. Then how could I dare to study there?
This is only reasonable. After all, it is such a mysterious, high-end and classy place. Even if some stories really happen, it is impossible to submit an article to a folk magazine, right?

Lloyd thought about it in his mind and evaluated the two stories.

Compared with the first story, the second story is much better, at least that's what Lloyd thinks.

Occultism is such a dangerous field, how dare you play so radically?There is a warning inside that you will die if you try to commit suicide.

He hoped that his sister would publish this story and warn the occult enthusiasts in the city not to believe in 'love divination' or 'transportation rituals'.

Although most of them are fake, if one of them is true, you don't know what trouble will happen.

In fact, the reason why Lloyd supports his sister's hard work in running a magazine is that in addition to supporting his sister's choice and career, he also has the idea of ​​'warning the world'.

He has always felt that he is an enthusiastic young man with a sense of social responsibility, and hopes that through these bizarre folklore, the idle citizens will not always think about committing suicide.

"This first story is very good. Sister, will you publish it?"

Lloyd asked.

Everol nodded and replied:
"Well, I quite like the first story, especially its form of expression. It is a very novel way of writing among the many submissions I received, and in many of the stories with the theme of Mizkatok University Among the submissions, its story is also the most special.”

"Huh? Are there many submissions from that university?"

"Yes, in the field of folklore, that university is as popular an 'attraction' as Arkham Town."
