Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, looked at Alice with some surprise and said, "This branch has a special mission?" This shouldn't be, after all, this branch is located in a school, and this school is not under the control of the Deep Diving Club, so what special tasks can this branch have? ”

Alice nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too, anyway, I don't know what special tasks this branch will have, because I haven't heard a little about this branch." ”

It seems that the difficulty of the mod in the Hound area of Tyndalus has really been raised by a notch, and the difficulty of obtaining information has been reduced by so much.

In the previous module in the Shogos area, Liu Xing and his party were still able to collect a lot of information at the beginning, but in this module, now Liu Xing and his party can be said to have collected no intelligence at all.

After all, the information about the occult society was revealed by the KP bamboo rat.

It seems that this time I will have to find the information from scratch.

"Okay, I'll go first now, after all, the diving club should soon know that I'm back to the island, so I can't stay here for long, and I'll contact you when I'm sure I'm going to open a bar there." Alice stood up and said.

Liu Xing nodded and said, "Well, then we'll call at that time, but then again, doesn't the Deep Diver Club know your true identity Alice?" After all, the Necro Cult had already discovered you when you were in England. ”

Alice smiled and said confidently: "That's true, but when we were in England, we have all found out that there is a discord between the Corpse Food Sect and the Deep Diving Club, and the Corpse Food Sect has never let the people of the Deep Diving Club operate in England, nor has it provided our information to the Deep Diving Club, so before I came back, I contacted an undercover agent who had become a middle-level cadre in the Deep Diving Club, and he told me that the Deep Diving Club still doesn't know about my situation, so I dare to go back to the island country now." ”

With that, Alice left.

It seems that the secret churches are also separated from each other.

But this is also normal, after all, everyone's goal is to rule the world, how can they really cooperate.

That's a good thing.

After breakfast, Liu Xing and the others decided to go to Tokyo University to take a look and see if they could find an opportunity to inquire about some news.

Since the school year will start in two days, Tokyo University is now full of people, and many new students are ready to move into the dormitory in advance with large bags and small bags.

Because Alice found a relationship, Liu Xing and the others, who were supposed to live in the dormitory, became day students, and they didn't need to go to the dormitory to live with a group of strangers, so that Liu Xing and the others could move much more conveniently.

According to the freshman handbook issued at the time of registration, Tokyo Comprehensive University can basically be divided into two areas, the East Campus is the study area, the West Campus is the living area, and the main goal of Liu Xing and others, that is, the club activity area, is located in the East Campus.

Therefore, Liu Xing and others came directly to the East Campus.

The East Campus has a total of three academic buildings and one laboratory building.

One of the school buildings has been arranged by the school to be used for club activities because it is a bit old, so those clubs that carry out activities indoors are arranged in this old school building.

When they came to the old teaching building, Liu Xing and others saw that various clubs had put up posters for new recruits.

Liu Xing took a general look around, but did not find the poster of the occult society.

But this is also normal, after all, occultism is not a popular major, to be exact, even in this parallel world set in the Cthulhu Mythos, there are very few universities that specialize in occultism (in the real world, it seems that only Harvard University offers a special occult major, and other universities offer religion, philosophy and other majors at most), the most famous of which is of course Miskatonic University.

Therefore, although it is still uncertain about the specific situation of the occult club, Liu Xing can be sure that the occult club of Tokyo Comprehensive University should be just a small club, and in addition to the people of the deep diving club, at most a few ordinary students will be recruited as a cover.

Because the club building has not officially opened yet, Liu Xing and others can only go to other places.

However, before they could take a few steps, Liu Xing and the others came to a man-made lake.

This man-made lake is estimated to be the size of more than ten standard football fields, and a lake pavilion is also being set up, and this lake pavilion is not like an ordinary lake pavilion with only one-way streets, but directly connects the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

"There's something interesting about the design of this lake-center pavilion." Liu Xing couldn't help but say.

Zhang Jingxu on the side nodded and said: "But this is also convenient for pedestrians, so that people don't have to take a long detour, but this lake seems to be quite deep." ”

At this time, Ishikawa Ling, who was holding a freshman handbook, said: "This lake should be the cross lake, before the establishment of Tokyo Comprehensive University, the cross lake was still a flat land, at that time someone was going to build a department store here in the cross lake, but just laid the foundation, the underground parking lot was repaired when a typhoon was encountered, after the typhoon passed, the cross lake appeared, and the steel and wood on the construction site were floating on the cross lake, and the most important thing is that there was a cross, which is also the origin of the cross lake." ”

"However, of course, the developer at that time chose to drain the water of the Cross Lake and continue the construction of the department store, but the pumping work lasted for a day and a night, and it stands to reason that the pumped water could fill the two Cross Lakes, but the water level of the Cross Lake still has no downward trend, so some people think that the bottom of the Cross Lake may have been connected to the underground river after the typhoon, so the skyrocketing groundwater has been feeding the Cross Lake after the typhoon, so the pumping work has not progressed."

"So the developer had to decide to temporarily suspend the construction of Cross Lake, and prepare to wait for the water level of the underground river to drop before dealing with Cross Lake, so after a few days, it stands to reason that after the underground river can no longer supply Cross Lake, the developer started pumping work again, and this time the developer prepared more pumps, and the result was that another day and a night passed, and the water level of Cross Lake still did not change."

"This is obviously very abnormal, so the developer found divers to go down to investigate the situation, and found that the water of Cross Lake is extremely turbid, and it is impossible to explore the underwater situation at all, so it can only return in vain, and at this time, the host of a nearby temple found the developer and told the developer that there is very likely to be a sea eye under the Cross Lake, which is directly connected to the sea, so the water of Cross Lake will never be drained."

"Of course, the developer does not believe in evil, or is reluctant to cross the lake, after all, buying land and laying foundations, repairing underground parking lots, and the wages paid to workers during this period add up to a huge amount of money, so how can they give up in vain, so the developer waited for half a month, and then began to carry out larger-scale pumping work, and the result is like what we see now, it has no effect at all."

"Therefore, the developer had to choose to give up, and after that, Tokyo Comprehensive University decided to build a new campus here, and then built this lake pavilion on the basis of the underground parking lot in the cross lake, and officially named the cross lake, and the lowest depth of the cross lake is about three meters, and the deepest depth may be more than ten meters, so although there are no guardrails installed around the cross lake, students are prohibited from walking around the cross lake, and violators will be expelled from the school."

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and said with some doubts: "This regulation is subtle and a little too strange, since I am worried that students will have accidents walking next to the cross lake, then the school can install guardrails around the cross lake, which is not much money." ”

Ishikawa Ling shrugged his shoulders, took the freshman handbook and continued: "According to the freshman handbook, the reason why the school has not installed guardrails around Cross Lake is because the school has installed guardrails around Cross Lake many times, and it has been installed with various materials, but strange things have happened, no matter what material the guardrail is, it will have problems within a month, basically the inside of the guardrail is seriously corroded, and as long as you touch it lightly, it will be damaged, even if it is a stainless steel guardrail, As for the specific problems, the school did not come up with a single reason. ”

"Because of this, the school can only give up the plan to continue to install guardrails, after all, if there is no fence, students will be cautious, the possibility of accidentally falling into the water will be much lower, and if the student is in front of a guardrail that may have an accident at any time, then the student is likely to be careless, unprepared to lean on or lie on the guardrail, and then fall into the water because of the damage to the guardrail, and this situation has happened many times before."

"So it's probably a water problem, hasn't Tokyo University studied the water in the cross lake?" Zhang Wenbing touched his chin and said.

Ishikawa Ling shook his head and said seriously: "According to Tokyo Comprehensive University, they have contacted many experts to study the situation of Cross Lake, but they still have not found any problems with the water quality of Cross Lake, and it can even be said that the water quality of Cross Lake is better than that of many international brands of mineral water sources, so Tokyo Comprehensive University ruled out the water quality problem and turned to study the geology around Cross Lake, but found nothing, so in the end, Tokyo Comprehensive University had no choice but to make this decision." ”

Liu Xing nodded and said: "It seems that the reason why the Deep Diving Association will set up a branch in Tokyo Comprehensive University should be because of this cross lake, as for the so-called secret mission of this branch, it should be to investigate all kinds of suspicions in this cross lake, and then we only need to squat on the cross lake, we should be able to find the people of the deep diving club." ”

"So should we go up to the Lake Center Pavilion now?" Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and proposed.

"Of course."

Everyone said in unison.

After a while, Liu Xing and the others arrived at the Huxin Pavilion.

Because there are not many people active in Tokyo Comprehensive University today, and it is already eleven o'clock at noon at this time, Liu Xing and others can be regarded as "occupying" the Huxin Pavilion.

But the scenery of this lake pavilion is just like that, after all, in the strict sense of the word, the cross lake is a man-made lake, and the environment is naturally not as good as the natural lake... To put it simply, there is no aura.

So, Liu Xing and the others looked around and found nothing, so they went back the way they came.

Because it was already noon, and Liu Xing and the others did not really come to Tokyo Comprehensive University to study, Liu Xing and his entourage, who were not at all interested in their future learning environment, left Tokyo Comprehensive University directly and found a random place to eat next to it.

Because Liu Xing and his party are all Chinese (although Liu Xing and Ishikawa Ling are only spiritual Huaxia people now), Liu Xing and his party chose a Shudi restaurant that is known as authentic.

After entering the restaurant, Zhang Wenbing, as the oldest in the group, naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of ordering.

In order to verify whether this restaurant is authentic or not, Zhang Wenbing deliberately said to the waiter in Chinese: "We first want a mapo tofu, boiled fish, back to the pot meat, and kung pao chicken." ”

The waiter looked at Zhang Wenbing with some surprise, and also said in Huaxia: "Listening to your accent, you should be from the Demon Capital, fellow." ”

Zhang Wenbing nodded, and said with a smile: "Then it seems that your Shudi restaurant should not be very authentic, after all, we people from the Demon Capital are not very good at eating spicy food." ”

The waiter shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, no, I'm a student at Tokyo Comprehensive University, just working part-time in this shop, the owner of this shop is an authentic Shudi person, and many of the materials are brought by the boss and his son from the domestic airlift, so I can guarantee that the Shudi cuisine in this store is very authentic." ”

Zhang Jingxu on the side nodded, and said with a smile: "In this case, you are our senior, several of us are new students at Tokyo Comprehensive University this year, and you will have to take care of us in the future." ”

"No problem, my name is Zhang 15, I am a junior majoring in management at Tokyo Comprehensive University, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me, we are now in a foreign country, we must help each other." Zhang Wufu patted his chest and said.

Obviously, this Zhang 15 is the NPC that provides basic information for his group in this mod.

Therefore, after Zhang Jingxu waited for Zhang 15 to submit the order to the kitchen, he pulled Zhang 15 to sit down and chat.

Soon, Zhang Jingxu naturally turned the topic to the club of Tokyo Comprehensive University.

"Tokyo Polytechnic University is a comprehensive university, so there are a lot of clubs, but in the last semester, there were so many clubs that there were conflicts between them for various reasons, so many clubs were disbanded." Zhang 15 took a sip of water and said.
