Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Chapter 146 The Folklore Professor and the Man-Eating God

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was another week.

Luke was tired of the busy traffic and high-rise buildings in big cities, so he directly rented a house in Prosperity Town and settled there for a week. It was not until he received a notice that the university was about to start that he let go of Ashley, who was almost exhausted, and returned to Phoenix.

Luke also asked Leonard specifically that he had originally been admitted to a university in a town called "Arkham", called Miska.

He heard that the folklore there was the best in the entire Lighthouse Country, but now he was studying at Duster's house and making new progress every day. He was so happy that he didn't want to go to school at all.

His parents are also very open-minded, mainly because the family is rich. After seeing the power of the spell he demonstrated, they happily agreed to him temporarily suspending school. As for when to go back to school, it depends on God's will.

Back in Phoenix, Luke packed the things he needed to bring to school.

He had asked in advance that the dormitories at Angelus University were all single rooms with shared kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets. If you paid extra, you could also live in a luxurious dormitory with its own bathroom.

He packed up his things and picked up the admission notice to confirm it again. It clearly said:

Dear Luke:

I am very pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the folklore major of our school.

Congratulations on standing out in the application process and successfully gaining recognition from our school. We are very much looking forward to your talent and enthusiasm. We also hope that you will explore new opportunities and challenges here. Please come to us on September 15, 2020. Report to Anglo-Saxon University.

For more information, please review the attached admissions guidelines.

Sincerely, Angelus University Admissions Committee

That’s right, Luke majored in folklore at University.

This was not his choice. Before he traveled through time, the original person had a love for mysticism and resolutely chose the related folklore major.

Putting the admission notice into his schoolbag, Luke drove in his little shabby car, rushed to the school, and quickly completed the admission procedures.

Luke, who had just sold more than ten grams of fine gold, was very generous. He directly chose the luxurious dormitory, put everything away, and rested.

In the previous Abyss Invasion, Luke killed Old William and some Abyss Demons, and his experience value reached 31%. Later, when he cleared away the abyss-contaminated creatures, his experience value increased by about 20%, and there were two consecutive waves of big losses. He is halfway to saving up for the next level.

This afternoon, the school organized a welcome ceremony, and all the new students gathered in the open-air venue behind the school.

At four o'clock, the church bell tower on campus rang for the new students, and the old students lined up to welcome the new students into the venue, and then listened to the respective speeches from the principal, professor representatives and student representatives.

After the boring welcome ceremony, there will be a week-long small orientation activity, and the new students can freely choose to participate according to their own hobbies.

At these events, some popular phenomena that are characteristic of lighthouse countries such as campus bullying, freshman humiliation or silver parties often occur.

These activities are designed to help new students quickly adapt to school life and understand school traditions. They are often the most convenient way for students to meet new friends and form small groups.

If a freshman does not participate in any activities, he will basically be ostracized by everyone in the next few years of college life.

Luke hadn't attended any high school graduation parties before, but now he was seeing more.

In short, he definitely didn't want to participate just for the silver party.

The school's bulletin board is filled with various welcome party activities, indicating the organizers, colleges and main contents of the activities.

Luke immediately saw a prom poster in the middle of the bulletin board. There was a picture of a cheerleader in the middle of the poster. The stage lights above the picture were big and white, and the pillars on both sides were straight and long. The set is simply perfect.

He looked at the time of the dance, which would be held tomorrow night, and decided to go to the site to appreciate it and feel the influence of architectural aesthetics.

A night of silence.

The teaching model of Angelus University is relatively open. Except for a few required courses, students only need to complete the credits in their four-year college career. It is up to the students themselves to decide which courses to choose and which academic year to choose.

Luke took fewer courses his first year and had plenty of time.

There is only one folklore major class today.

He arrived at the classroom early. There were only a dozen or so people in the large lecture hall.

After waiting for about ten minutes, an unkempt old man with gray hair and beard walked in. He was holding a textbook in his hand and looked like he should be the teacher of this class.

He first introduced himself: "My name is Harvey Voight. I am a historian and a visiting professor at Miskatonic University. You have two professors in this course, one of whom has been traveling for more than two months. , lost news, and another one was unfortunately killed in the terrorist attack a month ago. Since the folklore department of Anglo-Saxon University and Miskatonic University are relatively close, I will temporarily come to take you for a semester and take a break. Restore my poor sanity until your school finds a new folklore teacher."

After finishing speaking, before the students could react, he opened the lesson plan and began to explain the key content of the course: "Folklore is a subject that studies human society and culture. It mainly studies human cultural traditions in different historical periods. Including religion, festivals, rituals, folk beliefs, etc.”

Halfway through, he closed the lesson plan in his hand and threw it on the podium, "Forget it, the lesson plan is useless. I'll just share the research I've done during this period with you."

Seeing him throw away the lesson plan, the originally sleepy students below cheered up and were ready to hear what shocking words he had to say.

The old professor began a lengthy statement: "My previous main research directions were ancient languages, relics and supernatural phenomena. During the research, I encountered many strange things. I won't share these things with you, so as not to avoid Then someone will turn into something strange. Now, I mainly rely on studying 'ogres' to pass the boring time and excessive curiosity."

Hearing the strong word "ogre", everyone pricked up their ears, and the few people who were whispering also sat upright.

Harvey Voight continued: "There have been legends about man-eating monsters since ancient times. But now we only talk about one of them - the man-eating man."

"Human cannibalism actually has a long history in the continent of Europe. In Rome more than two thousand years ago, wealthy businessmen believed that eating the blood, liver and muscles of gladiators could cure epilepsy and inherit their powers. "

"It is said that Queen Mary I of England slaughtered more than 2,800 pure girls in order to maintain her appearance, and drank and bathed in their blood to maintain her youth. In addition, she is the horror story we are circulating now, 'Bloody Mary' One of the prototypes.”

"Even the common people at that time had an extraordinary enthusiasm for eating human beings. They would surround the death row, wait for the death row prisoner to be beheaded or hanged, and then take his blood, cut his body, and even Some hanged prisoners were still struggling, and their flesh, blood, livers and bones were cut off by people who couldn't wait any longer."

"Of course, I think there is one more thing that everyone should know." The old professor suddenly showed a smile that all men understand and said: "In addition to fresh corpses, mummies from Africa are also considered to be ground into powder. It has aphrodisiac properties, and even now, wealthy businessmen are still looking for it.”

"Uu" The male students under the podium all hissed with disdain.

Seeing that the students were all participating in the course interaction, Harvey Voight asked: "In a general sense, we usually think that eating humans will bring extraordinary powers to people, but it will also come with endless consequences. Curses. So, does anyone know what these curses are?”

He looked around and found that no student took the initiative to raise his hand, so he said: "Since there is no student who actively wants to answer, I will click one."

The familiar call-and-question session in class, however, here in Lighthouse Country is not like the high school in the previous life. As soon as the teacher asked a question, everyone immediately turned into quails and shrank. They probably really didn’t know, or were not interested in answering like Luke.

Harvey Voight glanced around the classroom. When he saw Luke, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said to him: "That classmate, don't look at it. It's you, the most handsome one."

The classroom was "coaxed" to laugh again, but when they saw Luke's appearance.

Damn, he is indeed handsome, sour, and the laughter quickly disappears.

Luke didn't want to be in the limelight, but since the teacher asked a question, it didn't hurt to answer. He leaned back in his chair and said without thinking: "It is possible to become a Wendigo after eating people."

Harvey Voight nodded with satisfaction, "That's a good answer. According to the common legend in the Lighthouse Country, if a person is excessively greedy and has no restraint, or engages in cannibalism, he will be possessed by evil spirits. , degenerate into Wendigos. They generally love human flesh in particular and never get enough.”

"Next, I will share with you my research during this period. When I was tracking the traces of Wendigo, I found a group of people who seemed to be constantly hunting Wendigo. Through an accidental opportunity , I got some information about them."

Harvey Water said mysteriously: "They come from a sect. The name of this sect is still unknown, but what is certain is that they believe in a god whose divinity is 'cannibal'. This group of people also They are keen on hunting and eating humans, believing that doing so will bring them extraordinary power and win the favor of the gods.”

At this time, Huang Mao, who looked a bit like the traditional Beacon Country school bully and football quarterback, raised his hand and asked: "Aren't they all cannibals? Why are they chasing each other?"

"Good question." Harvey Voight said appreciatively: "I have thought about this question for a long time, and then my confusion was solved when I overheard their conversation."

"It is said that their gods hate Wendigos very much. They think that not only do they not understand eating etiquette, but they are never satisfied and seriously disrupt the balance of the food chain. They are probably just like shepherds who hate poaching wild wolves."

"In short, they believe that killing Wendigo will also gain the favor of the gods and bring them closer to the gods."

After telling the story of the Wendigo, the old professor became animated and began to talk about some of his previous experiences in archaeological expeditions. In terms of customs and customs, he was very specific and real, as if he had actually been there.

But he was secretive in some places, his words were vague, and his logic was illogical in many places, which led some people to think that he was bragging and making up stories.

After talking for a long time, as the bell rang, the old professor picked up the lesson plan on the podium, leaving the students who were still unfinished, and walked out of the classroom.

In the classroom, people were still discussing in twos and threes. Some believed that the old professor had indeed experienced many bizarre stories, while others firmly did not believe it and claimed that there were no monsters or monsters in the world.

When the quarterback, Huang Mao, saw that Luke hadn't walked out yet, his eyes lit up and he chased after him with his two followers.

"Come on, come on, the classic plot of the Beacon Country school bully bullying the freshmen," Luke thought, "After a while, should I beat them down directly, or should I reason first and then beat them down, and then ask behind my hands, now , what did you learn from this incident?"

He was thinking about a more handsome way to hit someone, when Huang Mao, who was already familiar with him, bumped shoulders with him.

Why?

This level of intensity is wrong, it doesn’t seem like a provocation.

Sure enough, the yellow-haired man said with excitement: "Hey, buddy, you were so cool in class just now, that one - Wendigo, how did you know about it? You must know more about these monsters, right?" , we love these things to death. If we had known that folklore was so cool, why would we have majored in law?"

Damn it.

Another newly awakened Leonard?

I don't want to be a nanny anymore.

Luke subconsciously kept his distance.

Huang Mao must have a good emotional intelligence. He saw Luke's alienation and said awkwardly: "Brother, I was a little too excited just now. You know, I just came into contact with this magical world and I couldn't control myself. "

After speaking, he wittily began to change the subject: "My good brother is holding a party at the rugby club tonight, and Jennifer, the most famous cheerleader in the school, will also attend. Will you come?"

Luke realized that he might be talking about the orientation event he planned to attend today.

It is definitely more convenient to have an acquaintance take you to this kind of activity than to go in alone.

Although he is not worried about bullying or anything like that, he will feel much more comfortable when he goes out to play and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Luke nodded and said, "Okay, I had plans to go."

It was getting late after class, so Huang Mao introduced himself: "My name is Phileas Severon, a second-year law student and the quarterback of the school football team."

Luke simply responded: "My name is Luke, a first-year freshman at the School of Folklore."

"So I'm a freshman, no wonder I haven't seen you before." Phileas put his hand on his shoulder again familiarly: "Then you are our protagonist tonight. Which girl have you fallen in love with? Tell me, I will assist you, she will definitely Take it!”
