If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.
Chapter 24 Three boxes
The Chevrolet was driving on the wide stone road between colleges. Lin Nian looked at the medieval-style buildings through the car window. Doves rose and fell on the church in the woods in the distance. Occasionally, blond foreign students could be seen walking on the cobblestone road. The bells of the bell tower there spread melodiously throughout the entire academy, and for a moment he finally had a real sense of being in a foreign country.
Mandy drove her Chevrolet slowly through the college, chatting while driving, introducing the history and layout of the college to Lin Nian and Lin Xian.
They were passing through a square with green lawns all over the place. The color was so refreshing that Lin Nian couldn't help but think of the artificial turf in Shilan High School's football field. Compared with the current turf, it was simply not on the same level.
"Bermuda lawn is a hybrid grass species developed in 1965. It is cold and drought-resistant and evergreen all year round. The principal liked the vibrant feeling on campus so he transplanted these lawns at a high price." Mandy turned her head and looked out the window: "See the building in the center of the square?"
Lin Nian looked in the direction Mandy said. In the center of the square stood an ancient Byzantine-style building. At first glance, the whole body was blood red. The pattern of the World Tree was carved on the outer wall, and there was a heroic warrior on the top. Rooster statue.
"That's the Hall of Valor. This square is called Odin Square. Our college has a strong Nordic mythology style. You can often see buildings named after it." Mandy looked at the Hall of Valor in the distance: "The Hall of Valor is only open every academic year. It will be opened once to issue graduation certificates. I hope that next year I can stand inside and have my name read out by the principal."
"As long as you don't fail at the end of the semester." Manstein glanced at Fingel, who was pretending to be dead in the back seat.
"Shall I take you directly to the dormitory or something." Mandy tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel.
"You don't have class in the afternoon, right?" Manstein asked.
"Yes, today's class is over!" Mandy raised her eyebrows with a relaxed look on her face, but she unconsciously glanced aside and Manstein's thoughtful eyes suddenly realized something was wrong and changed her words: "Uh, but after a while I’m going to attend the student union party in Norton Hall.”
"Okay then, you and the Fengel gang will move Lin Nian and Lin Xian's salutes to the dormitory."
"Wow, stop it, Master Manstein, you are squeezing the labor force." Mandy's face immediately fell.
"We should take our things ourselves." Lin Xian waved his hand.
"No, you two have more important things to do. Besides, Mandy, it's time for you to lose weight. Your Bajiquan teacher told me in physical education class that your body fat rate has reached a 'dangerous' level because you exercise too little. ." Manstein finalized the itinerary with just one sentence and gave Mandy a small warning.
"No! I just got on the scale yesterday, but I'm still 95 pounds and haven't broken 100 yet! You're taking revenge on me for not letting you eat high-calorie food when I was on a business trip!" Mandy's face was filled with grief and anger.
"This matter is settled. I told you not to deal with that Caesar Gattuso from the student union. Now the school atmosphere has been affected by him. Our Discipline Committee has received at least three or four noise complaints at night every week! One night we even caught him taking the lead in pouring champagne into a public swimming pool! The swimming pool froze and cracked afterwards!" Manstein became extremely angry when he talked about this Caesar Gattuso.
When Mandy saw the angry instructor, she had no choice but to shut up pitifully. Manstein already had high blood pressure, and if she continued to be stimulated, her claws would become paralyzed after she collapsed.
In the end, after Fingel, she also became a mule carrying luggage, but Fingel was not dissatisfied at all, nodding his head behind his back with a dogged face, and his image of trying to please the disciplinary committee member was shameless.
"Driving to the psychological consultation room, we first went to see Teacher Masashi Toyama. If my calculations are correct, he should have something ready and waiting for us there now," Manstein said.
"I think I should seek psychological counseling. I feel so tired." Mandy said weakly, turning the car around.
After driving for ten minutes, the Chevrolet stopped in front of a Gothic-style building. Lin Nian got out of the car and looked up at the building. Compared with the tall flying buttressed Gothic buildings seen in the movies, the building in front of him was obviously smaller and more prominent. After renovation, modern elements have been incorporated, and the lines have become softer. The open windows on the third floor have floral curtains flying outward.
"I actually feel that the buildings in this school all look the same." Lin Nian said to Lin Xian, who got off the car and walked beside him: "I think I will definitely get lost in this school in the future."
"You have always been a bit of a wanderlust." Lin Xian nodded: "I still remember the last time you ran three blocks to buy soy sauce and got lost."
"That time was an accident. I have never been there in so many years." Lin Nian felt a little embarrassed when old things were brought up.
"Let's go, Lin Nian, the evidence you want is here." Manstein closed the car door, and Chevrolet took Fingel and Mandy away.
"It seems that you have already guessed that I will not easily believe your words, so have you prepared the 'evidence' in advance?" Lin Nian followed Manstein into the door. There are many reliefs on the door that become more and more layered as you go in. It was thick, as if there was a strong attraction that made them speed up.
"Most of our students actually have a mixed-race family background, and have been influenced by similar knowledge since childhood. For example, the playboy Caesar Gattuso we talked about before. It is very natural for them to accept the dragon culture when they enter school. . But there are also some students like you who lived in a normal society before entering school. It is really not easy for them to accept the truth about dragons all at once." Professor Manstein led Lin Nian straight to the third floor and stood there. In front of a door, he looked back before pushing the door open and said, "So at this time we will prepare some extremely shocking evidence to show them."
Manstein opened the door. Behind the door was an elegantly decorated study room, with crystal chandeliers and complicated yet aesthetically straight lines. Bookcases full of books surrounded the four walls. A white wool carpet was spread in the middle of the study room. There was a long solid wood table, and a smiling Asian man stood beside the table.
"Professor Manstein." The Asian man bowed immediately after seeing Professor Manstein.
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Teacher Masashi Toyama." Manstein brought Lin Nian and Lin Xian into the room, dragged down his coats and hung them on the coat rack.
"These two are the 'A' grade freshmen and the trainee staff who are going to follow me, right? My name is Toyama Masashi, Japanese, the psychological counselor of the college." Toyama Masashi also bowed respectfully to Lin Xian and Lin Nian, with a good attitude It was so uncomfortable that Lin Nian didn't bow. He just reached out and shook hands with the other person.
"Hello, teacher Masashi Toyama, I am Lin Xian. This is our first meeting. Please give me your advice in the future." Lin Xian also smiled politely and shook hands with Masashi Toyama and said hello. If there are no surprises, the position Manstein won because of her is The Japanese man in front of her is the assistant, so he can be considered her future superior.
"I received your resume when I was in school, and also read the papers you published on the website. I have to say that Ms. Lin Xian's resume when she was a student is enough to study for a postgraduate degree in any medical university. It's such a pity to end your studies at university." Toyama Masashi's attitude towards Lin Xian was extremely polite and not at all arrogant like a superior or subordinate, but seemed to be particularly complimentary.
Lin Nian quietly looked at Lin Xian with his peripheral vision and murmured in his heart. As a younger brother, he only knew that his elder sister was also a legend in college, but he didn't expect that a legend could come to a place like Cassel College and be considered a legend. The faculty inside boasted.
"It can't be said to be an achievement. Those thesis reports are just conjectures without substantial experimental evidence. If Mr. Masashi Toyama had read my thesis, he would have known that there would be some ethical issues in implementing those experiments." Lin Xian nodded slightly. Modestly speaking, she appears to be extremely mature when facing social interactions. She is a completely different person at home and outside the home. This is actually similar to Lin Nian's character in some aspects.
"Ahem, Teacher Masashi Toyama, I think you brought what I want." Professor Manstein saw that the two of them were chatting too deeply, so he coughed twice as a reminder.
"Oh yes, of course I haven't forgotten. I specially applied to borrow these three things from the archives. Norma reminded me that they must be returned before midnight today." Teacher Masashi Toyama woke up from a dream and asked three things in sequence from his feet. The black password box was placed flat on the wooden table next to him. After unlocking the password locks, he stepped aside and motioned for Lin Nian to open the box himself.
"Go on, Lin Nian, these are the evidence you want." Manstein said.
Looking at the encouraging looks of Professor Manstein and Masashi Toyama, Lin Nian glanced at Lin Xian again, licked his lips and walked forward to stand in front of the three password boxes. He hesitated for a while and thought about what he should do. Which box should be opened first.
"I suggest you open it from left to right." Masashi Toyama reminded.
"Is there any danger?" Lin Nian pressed his hand on the leftmost password box and glanced at Lin Xian behind him and asked Toyama Masashi.
"No, it will just have some impact on the three views." Masashi Toyama said: "But you have to believe that the things in the box are completely controllable and will not pose a physical threat to anyone in this room. Well, but psychologically Not necessarily the threat.”
At the end of the sentence, Toyama Masashi suddenly changed his mind. Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at him, his expression a little embarrassed: "There used to be a student who suffered from high blood pressure due to abnormal blood. When he saw the things in the box, My blood pressure skyrocketed and I fainted."
"I have a strong psychological quality, and I dare to read borrowed horror novels often at night." Lin Nian nodded to show that he was mentally prepared. He took a breath and prepared himself for shock. He raised his hands and opened the lockbox, but what he saw in the box did not shock or scare him.
Because the first black password box contains an ancient stone ghost mask.
ps: Got up late! Gan.
