The Modern Age of the Mysterious

(Reading warning for explorers: When this warning appears, it means that some of the plots in this chapter may have a mental impact on the reader. It is recommended that explorers read it when they are in a good state of mind.)

"...Some people are superstitious that out-of-print materials can be found in the old book cemetery, so they soak there all day long, and never go out again, wandering in the old book cemetery, looking for books, reading... turned into a ghost..."

Looking at the somewhat crazy and strange woman, Sean suddenly remembered what the explorer wearing the white ape mask had said to him when he introduced him to the old book cemetery.

"Could this woman be the kind of person who can't leave the old book cemetery?" Sean was still thinking when he suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

He turned his head to see that it was a short, bald man with glasses. He took two steps closer: "Hello, my name is Levin Duke..."

The voice was a little low, and he seemed a little nervous. He was wearing a rumpled brown corduroy suit, and his slightly crooked teeth made him look silly when he spoke.

"That person is a bookworm," Levin Duke pointed to the woman who looked a little crazy. "She reads books here every day, sometimes for days and nights, without eating or sleeping..."

Sean raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"

Levin stretched out his hand: "I'm a professor of history at Wake University, and a quest scholar specially invited by the association."

Sean shook Levin's hand, the palm was thick but weak, feeling a lack of exercise: "You can call me," Sean thought for a moment, "Mist."

The eyes behind the crystal lenses revealed a surprised light: "Are you the fog?"

Sean shrugged. He didn't expect that the events in Lewin Town would make him famous in the association.

"Let's take the liberty to ask," Levin coughed, and Sean felt that the other party seemed to have social fears and was a little nervous when he spoke, "Are you going to enter this old site?"

After Sean affirmed, Levin looked a little happy: "That's great, I think we can help each other - I also wanted to go in to find some information, but the explorer I asked didn't come...

"If you are willing to accompany me, I am willing to pay Jack-level bodyguards for a whole day after I come out.

"Also, it doesn't look like you've been here before, so I can act as your guide."

20 New Zealand dollars is not very tempting for Sean, but if you can have an extra guide and you are an exploratory scholar, then this trip will be much safer.

Sean used the psychic substance to examine Professor Leduk, and found that the other party was a little weak, and there was nothing special about him.

Turning to spiritual vision, the colors in Professor Duke's soul showed that he was a little nervous, but his emotions were generally peaceful and stable. Only rational human beings have such a state of soul.

"It can basically eliminate threats..."

Sean looked at Professor Duke with expectation in his eyes: "I can promise you. But I want to make sure that you haven't concealed the possible dangers, and the data itself is not contaminated or cursed."

Professor Duke waved his hands again and again: "Don't worry, I'm looking for some very common academic materials, without curses--I don't dare touch those things."

Sean's eyes were small, and his spiritual tentacles felt the heartbeat of the other party: "The heartbeat is normal, there is no sign of lying..."

"Let's go," Sean walked towards the entrance of the cave first, "I have a lot of questions to ask you about the old book cemetery..."

Professor Duke brought two flashlights and gave them to Sean, and the two walked into the doorway one after the other.

The interior of the old book cemetery was completely dark, and many chaotic footprints could be seen in the flashlight spots on the ground.

"It seems that many people have been here to explore the secrets..."

As he walked forward, Sean asked, "I want to find the old newspapers and magazines. Do you know where they are?"

Duke adjusted his glasses: "Including the attic floor where we are now, and the deepest original basement, the old site has a total of seven floors.

"As far as I know, the old site used to store newspapers and magazines in a relatively deep place, maybe in the original first floor, maybe in the original basement...

"The information I need is on the second floor. However, I also want to go deeper, so I can go with you..."

It was very quiet in the dark. Sean wanted to learn as much as possible about the old book cemetery, so he asked a lot of questions.

In the process of telling, Levin Duke gradually got rid of his initial shyness, his voice became louder, and his spoken language became more and more smooth-it seemed to have entered the state he was in the classroom:

"As far as I know, the settlement of the Municipal Library was not caused by natural causes.

"About thirty years ago, a well-known archaeologist kept the original ancient books and documents found from all over the world in the basement of the Municipal Library.

"A student of this archaeologist tried an evil ritual in an ancient book out of curiosity, which almost caused an event where the evil **** came...

"In order to prevent this coming, the explorers at that time used nearly two tons of high-explosives and used an unknown underground cave to sink the entire municipal library into the cave..."

Sean's footsteps stagnated a little: "Then there are still evil gods in this old site?"

Professor Duke shook his head and said, "No, no, they successfully prevented that coming, and the ceremony was a one-time event. After the descending failed, the ceremony lost its effectiveness.

"It is almost impossible to remove this huge building from the ground, and its existence did not affect the stability of other buildings, so the old book cemetery was left here and became a later Part of the Explorer's Library built here.

"However, although the Heretic God has not come, there are two more evil rumors about the old site...

"These rumors are enduring for a long time, but they have never been officially confirmed. Many explorers have repeatedly come and gone in the old site, and have not encountered anything evil...

"However, I am a cautious person..."

Sean slowed down: "What rumors are there?"

Seemingly afraid that the sound will bring disaster, Professor Duke lowered his voice: "The first rumor is the 'Scholar of Epiphany'.

"The student who didn't know what went mad, opened the forbidden book in the basement, and after performing the evil ritual, the door of the dimension was opened, and an ancient evil **** who was in charge of the dream world was about to come to the world.

"At that time, the explorers evacuated all the people in the municipal library, but one scholar refused to leave."

"Refused to leave?" Sean and Professor Duke went down a flight of stairs at this time, from the attic floor to the original fifth floor.

"Well, no matter how the explorer advised him, he didn't pay attention. A explorer who was present at the time later recalled that the scholar claimed that he was about to comprehend the mysteries of the universe. If he left, he might miss the truth forever...

"Because of the emergency, the explorers ignored him. After the blasting subsidence interrupted the summoning ceremony, there were rumors that the man of epiphany had transformed from a human form into some kind of... ...something strange..."

Professor Duke's tone became a little weird, and he seemed to speak in a way that made him feel a little scared.

"What strange thing has it become?" Sean couldn't help his scalp tingling.

"He...is keen on thinking," Duke tried to organize his language, his expression as if he had seen something disgusting~www.readwn.com~Maybe he wants to have a more powerful thinking tool... …”

"The earliest witnesses said that they saw a human-shaped thing during the search and rescue. They thought it was the epiphany scholar who used a lantern to illuminate...

"But I saw that the surface of the human figure was not skin, but full of pink sulci, dense arachnoid membranes, and beating blood vessels..."

Sean turned his head, his eyes were weird: "He has become..."

Professor Duke's face was illuminated by the flickering flashlight: "He became a humanoid, moving brain...

Sean let out a faint breath of cold air, and a disgusting feeling appeared.

"After the search and rescue team saw that weird thing, some team members fell into a deep state of delirium, and the conscious team members had to immediately withdraw from the old site with the unconscious person.

"Those who lost consciousness after witnessing the Epiphany Scholar all experienced very grotesque and crazy dreams while in a coma.

"According to the description of the eyewitness report, it seems that the body of the Epiphany Scholar is still changing, but the subsequent eyewitness reports have become ambiguous. I don't know what it turned out to be...

"My guess about this is that his mutation was affected by the arrival of the evil **** - because only the energy of the evil **** can cause such crazy, weird changes...

"This also proves why the eyewitness reports about the 'Scholar of Epiphany' all involve some very crazy dreams..."

Sean couldn't help but imagine that the light of the flashlight swept across a milky white figure that covered his entire body.

What's even more terrifying is that that figure seems to make people instantly enter a nightmare...

Shengen shimmered, soothing his shocked spirit.
