Chen Yan tried his best to look far away, but could only vaguely see the Star Observation Building inside the school not far from the gate. As the landmark building of Miskatonic University, the 20-story Star Observation Building has long become a landmark on the high street.

One of the buildings.

Especially with the empire's extensive use of coal in recent years, Miskatonic University's observatory is often submerged in cloud-like haze, and the scene looks quite spectacular.

Fortunately, the weather is good today, and there are a few students coming and going in and out of the school gate. Everything can still prove that there are living people in this school.

Most university campuses on High Street are open, and Miskatonic University is no exception. In fact, there is not even a gate guard here, and the campus can be entered and exited by anyone at will.

Chen Yan walked all the way into the campus, but his field of view was still not very wide. The reason was that dome oak trees had been growing on the campus for an unknown number of years. Those reddish-brown tree crowns were still lush in winter and could be found on both sides of the roads inside the campus.

'This tree must have been fertilized, otherwise how could it be so lush?'

Chen Yan smelled a very faint, vague fishy smell in the air, like blood. When he wanted to smell it carefully, the fishy smell was gone again.

'That's really weird... is it my imagination?'

Moving towards the Star Observation Tower, there were fewer and fewer students on both sides of the road.

Chen Yan's arrival seemed to attract the attention of some students. Those students whose eyes were dull, as if they were lost in studying, all stood there and stared at him blankly after seeing him.

This kind of gaze caused Chen Yan great discomfort, so he walked quickly and arrived in front of the Star Observation Tower in less than ten minutes.

The cylindrical tower-like building is covered with faded and cracked dark blue paint, and the cracks are pitch black. It is unknown what kind of masonry the building is made of.

When Chen Yan looked at the dark cracks, his eyes flickered, as if he saw a dim light flashing past.

I was stunned for a moment, and when I focused my sight again, I could only see formless darkness from the cracks.

He was a little confused, so he walked straight into the star observation tower.

The hall on the first floor of the Star Observation Building is extremely empty. The black marble floor covers the entire hall. There is no chandelier on the ceiling, but only a luminous prism.

Chen Yan seemed to have seen this kind of prism in the newspaper.

There should be a wide pipe after the prism. There are prisms placed at special angles at regular intervals in the pipe until it reaches the wall leading to the end of the pipe - there are also one or more prisms on the wall.

, used to collect sunlight from the outside.

The outside sunlight will eventually pass through the prism inside the pipe, undergo multiple refractions, and finally be refracted onto the prism inside the building for lighting.

I'm afraid only places with money and leisure like universities would actually manufacture such a complicated and extremely wasteful thing of manpower and material resources and use it as a light source.

The sunshine today was good, and the prism refracted into the lobby on the first floor of the Star Observation Building. The light was also very abundant. Chen Yan saw the [elevator] in the center of the lobby at a glance.

It is said to be an elevator, but it is actually an open stone platform. In the center of the platform is the carved Miskatonic University emblem——

The school emblem, which is composed of a bunch of gears, machines and small balls, looks extremely strange, like several planets of different sizes connected by mechanical arms.

The rotation of these planets is actually driven by gears.

It's really...interesting.

Chen Yan came to the platform and saw the buttons for each floor from 1 to 20 on the stone pillar standing in the center of the platform.

Different from ordinary elevator buttons, most of the buttons on the stone pillars have a keyhole in the center. It seems that a key is required to unlock access to each floor?

Chen Yan tentatively pressed the buttons with keyholes, and found that they couldn't be pressed.

The only button without a keyhole is the 20th floor.

'Tsk...only the 20th floor is open to the public...'

Chen Yan pressed the button for the 20th floor.

The next moment, the platform began to rise slowly.

The platform rose very slowly. Chen Yan did not clearly hear the sound of the motor running. He thought to himself, isn't this "elevator" driven by electricity?

Is it some kind of mechanism technology from ancient times?

He became more and more curious.

As the elevator rose, each floor starting from the second floor also appeared in front of Chen Yan. The entrances to those floors were closed and seemed to have to be opened when the elevator arrived - this was also similar to a "mechanism".

When the elevator passed the 10th floor, Chen Yan heard murmuring for a moment.

The murmur appeared for so short a time that he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Until his sight passed through a glass window on the 10th floor and saw the scene on campus at this moment.

In a sudden glance, he saw a dilapidated campus infested with zombies, a crown-like oak tree with flesh-stained soil on its roots, a mountain of meat-like butchers chasing zombie students with meat cleavers...

'What the hell is going on!'

The hair on Chen Yan's back stood up.

'Did I inadvertently activate my spiritual vision just now?! Is this what Miskatonic University really looks like?! No! It's a famous university on the high street, a top university that reports every day, how could it be this ghost?

What does it look like!?'

Chen Yan knew that it was too late to regret now. He could only pray that Miss Turin was really on the 20th floor of the Star Observation Tower.

As the elevator continued to rise, Chen Yan saw more things from each floor.

A humanoid creature with an electric eel head soaked in a viscous green container, a giant fat pig with eyes and a crow with eyes, a human head blooming in a sunflower, holding a chain with thorns to express itself

The punishing faceless muscular man looked at his female servant doll with his eyes open in a weird posture...

Before Chen Yan suffered a nervous breakdown, the "elevator" finally reached the 20th floor of the Star Observation Tower.

The elevator stopped, and Chen Yan stumbled out. His mind was filled with the images of those weird things. He felt dizzy and dizzy for a moment. He took two or three steps forward and came to the pillar, holding on to something cold and unknown in texture.

Zhuzhu spat out with a "wow" sound.

When he vomited, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. All thoughts in his head were gone, and the only thing left was pain.

While he was vomiting desperately, he felt a gentle tap on his back, and a familiar female voice appeared in his ears.

"Ah, Mr. Chen, I forgot to remind you, I'm so sorry..."

Another equally familiar male voice, with a gloating voice, appeared next.

"Ha! This is the price you pay for blackmailing me! Just wait! I'll have to do it all over again when I go down!"

The female voice sighed helplessly: "Colin, put aside your rudeness, I finally invited Mr. Chen here."

The male voice hummed angrily: "For your sake, let him go."

A third voice appeared immediately: "Mr. Chen, do you still remember me?"

Chen Yan straightened up with the help of a fragrant soft limb. When he opened his eyes for the first time, he saw the brain existing in the container.
