Past events at Mida

Chen Yan did not admit it immediately, but felt a strong sense of distrust because of her attitude.

Did you know I would use it?

He realized that this knife might not have been originally intended to be used against Miss Turin!

Alice saw the anger in his eyes and hurriedly explained:

"I don't have the slightest ill will towards you... My life star surrounds your life star. You can decide my fate. I won't joke about this kind of thing..."

Chen Yan looked at her panicked eyes, remained silent for a moment, and put his hands in his pockets:

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Alice's eyes flashed:

"I don't have much time..."

Chen Yan frowned and said:

"Are you...going back to Miskatonic University?"

Alice nodded silently.

The two of them came to the bus stop one after another.

Under the sunlight during the day, part of the snow on the road had turned into water. However, because the night came too early in Yanan City, the remaining snow had not completely melted and was turned into ice by the cold evening wind.

.

Chen Yan looked at the thin layer of ice on the steam bus track. While wondering why the steam bus did not derail, he asked in a low voice:

"I need you to explain everything as concisely as possible, because the steam bus is coming soon. If you really want me to save you, stop saying those words that are incomprehensible."

After a brief silence, Alice spoke in the cold wind before nightfall.

"I don't know that you can use that knife. Using unknown extraordinary power will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself. Very few people will use power that does not belong to them at will."

Chen Yan couldn't accept this statement at all, but his curiosity about Alice and Miss Turin's twins made him restrain his temper and let him listen quietly.

"I am a German from the northern highlands."

She looked at the ice on the ground and whispered:

"I followed my family across the ocean to Yanan City, and on the recommendation of a relative, I completed academic high school and entered Miskatonic University."

Her language is quite concise.

"At that time, I didn't know what U of M was like, nor did I know that it would be the beginning of all nightmares..."

In the next ten minutes, Chen Yan roughly understood what happened to Alice.

Alice's family was not short of money. The Alman they transported to the factory in Yanan City accumulated wealth that they could not spend in several lifetimes, which gave her enough confidence to choose a major she liked.

Like most girls from nouveau riche families who do not have a serious job, Alice chose the very unreliable astrology.

After entering university and studying for one academic year, although she didn't learn anything, she came into contact with many interesting people and things she had never encountered before.

One of the boys showed great interest in her, and she thought he wanted to pursue her, but she was unconcerned with his attentiveness.

As a beautiful and wealthy German girl, her family will choose the most suitable husband for her, and she only needs to choose the one she likes most from the men selected by the family.

And the boy who pursued her, a senior named Colin Frankenstein, was not her type in terms of appearance or temperament.

She once heard from a classmate in the same department that Colin Frankenstein came from an old aristocratic family. Now his family has fallen into such poverty that he can only make a living by studying.

She learned from the few words of her classmates that the reputation of the Frankenstein family was very bad. It seemed that it was because of an anti-human experiment many years ago that made the entire family spurned. It has not escaped from that incident until now.

shadow.

Although she doesn't like people like Colin, she likes to play with Colin Frankenstein because he knows many things. Those things are exciting that she has never experienced and are fatal to rebellious girls of her age.

Appeal--

For example, entering a sealed library at night when the school prohibits it.

Like many ignorant young men and women, on a dark and windy night, she and several classmates——

Including Colin Frankenstein, after the night watchman at Met University left the library door, he quietly sneaked into this huge building that became a lingering nightmare for her in the following years.

When they pried open the door and entered the library through the fire escape, they were surprised to find that the library at night—the library that looked dark from the outside was actually brightly lit!

There are many people in the corridors of the library who don't know where they come from. They are either in suits and leather shoes, reading quietly, or they are in small groups and talking loudly.

Why are there so many people in the library?

The next moment Alice and her group walked into the light with surprised faces, the noisy sound in the library suddenly stopped.

Everyone turned their heads and stared directly at them. Their eyes were the same as theirs, as if they had seen something very incredible.

This strange silence frightened Alice. She hid behind everyone, with a strong intention to retreat in her heart.

Suddenly, the person closest to them opened his mouth and screamed at them expressionlessly.

Screams spread among the crowd, and after a moment, the people standing in the library opened their mouths expressionlessly, screamed at them, and walked towards them quickly.

Alice was so frightened that she subconsciously turned around and ran away from the door, but her classmates were not as lucky as she was.

In her last vision, a female classmate at the front was grabbed by the shoulder by a weirdo and bitten on the ear, causing blood to spurt out.

Alice, who was running towards the door, heard the screams of her classmates. She ran away without looking back. The library door was not far away. She only needed to hold on for a few more seconds and she could leave this damn place!

But until she walked along the way to the end, she didn't see the existence of the gate——

They entered the library door and disappeared into thin air.

When she turned her head, the people who were making weird screams had already caught up with her.

…

"When I woke up again, I was already on the bed in the dormitory."

Her tone was very low, because it was obviously a very unpleasant memory.

She didn't know what happened, she just thought she had a nightmare, because the classmates around her were all fine - the classmates who went to the library with her in the nightmare were all fine and showed no abnormalities.

After that, perhaps because of too much mental stress, Alice developed symptoms of sleepwalking.

Often one morning, she would open her eyes and find herself standing somewhere on campus.

She immediately tried some drugs for sleeping, but they were completely useless to her. No matter how many drugs she took before going to bed, sleepwalking would definitely occur as long as she fell asleep.

She tried tying herself up before going to bed, but that still didn't work. When she woke up, she would still be somewhere else on campus.

Fortunately, it will only appear on campus.

She was in pain, and Colin Frankenstein had been comforting her since he learned about it:

Sleepwalking is not a terrible thing. He happens to know someone from the Green family in Yanan City. She only needs some slightly special drugs to cure her sleepwalking.

She had heard of the name [Green], which seemed to be a popular pharmaceutical group in Yanan City, and for some special reasons unknown to the public, the Green family's medicines were more effective than those of other pharmaceutical companies.

She tried taking a medicine brought by Colin Frankenstein.

That night, she was finally able to sleep peacefully.

When she woke up from her dormitory bed the next morning, she almost cried with joy.

The medicine Colin Frankenstein bought from the Green family was not expensive, it could even be said to be very cheap, but the medicine was incredibly effective, so Alice took medicine from him every day.

From then on, she slept more and more soundly and sweetly every day, and her sleep time became longer and longer, as if she had endless sleep.

This situation lasted until the second semester of my third year in college.

It was an ordinary astrology class one night. The teacher told about a magical phenomenon of star interaction:

When a person suffers from some special mental illness, the person's life star will appear to be two. In fact, he does not have two life stars, but one of them is a virtual shadow caused by light.

The high degree of overlap between the main body and the virtual shadow indicates that the condition is relatively mild.

But once the degree of overlap between the real body and the virtual shadow is low, and [the life stars are in pairs], it means that the condition is already very serious.

In astrology, people and their natal stars influence each other. Whatever problems occur in people will be reflected on their natal stars, and conversely, the same is true for the natal stars.

Alice curiously observed her destiny star through the telescope, and saw an incredible scene——

High in the sky, her dim life star had a double image, and the double image had actually separated from the life star itself and was almost outside the life star!

She was so frightened that she threw away her telescope, thinking about her state these days, and in extreme panic, she asked her teacher for help.

The teacher calmed her emotions, and after determining the position of her destiny star, adjusted the telescope and told her:

She used the telescope incorrectly, resulting in errors in the observed results.

She looked at the camera again in shock, and there was indeed no ghost around her life star.

Did she see it wrong?

She no longer had the energy to think about whether she had really seen it wrong. She only knew that she was very tired and needed to go to bed quickly.

After class, she fell asleep on the floor before returning to the dormitory.

She hadn't had a dream for a long time, but this time, for some reason, she had an extremely real dream.

In her dream, she saw the vision in front of her move from the teaching building to the open space of the school, along the path covered by oak trees, to the library, and towards the depths of the library.

The library of Miskatonic University has been standing here for more than 100 years since its construction.

After several expansions, it now occupies almost half of the entire campus.

She saw herself walking deeper into the library, and just kept going until her vision changed——

Drowsily, she felt herself moving downwards.
