Smelting everything from pirates

Chapter 611, The Disappearing Professor Minna
"This is our school's professor of astronomy, Professor Minna. This is the new Mr. Barrett, who specializes in teaching literature. I'm afraid you should know about it."

Standing opposite Barrett was a female professor who looked older. The female professor had blond hair with a wave, but she still couldn't stop the wrinkles on her forehead.

Professor Minna looked at Barrett with a smile on the corner of her mouth and said, "Mr. Barrett has been a man of the hour in our school for the past month, of course I understand, but I don't know what Walter you are looking for me for. What are you doing?"

At this time, Professor Wald turned his attention to Barrett, so Barrett told Professor Minna exactly what happened on Blackwater Island.

At this time, Barrett was sitting in his seat, looking at the female professor in front of him, and talking about what happened to him on Blackwater Island

Although Wald had already listened to it a long time ago, he was still listening to the details of Barrett very intently at this time.

It also has to be said that Barrett's own memory is so terrifying that he actually described the situation in the entire Blackwater Island exactly.

Then he made his own request, wanting Professor Ming Na to take a good look at the astrology in that area of ​​Heishui Island more than 10 days ago.

"I want to ask, where is the specific longitude and latitude of Heishui Island? If you want to check the astrology, you must know the specific longitude and latitude."

This touched Barrett's own blind spot, but he walked up to the map, next to New York, and pointed in the direction of Blackwater Island.

Professor Minna walked to the side of the map, looked at the direction Barrett was pointing at, and then made some judgments in his heart, nodded and looked at Barrett and said.

"I still need some time to do research, so it may take two or three days before I can tell you the results."

Seeing that Professor Minna had agreed, Barrett stood up from his seat and bowed very gratefully.

"There's no need for Barrett, if you can write better works, that's the best thing for me."

Wald, who was standing next to him, laughed and said at this moment: "Professor Mingna especially likes to read your book about the past, if you can write more romance novels, I am afraid that Professor Mingna will be happier .”

Hearing this, Barrett also laughed. For a while, because he has been engaged in teaching work, he has no time to write novels at all.

But now, thanks to the development of radio, Barrett was able to deliver the manuscript from Arkham to New York.

So I said: "Then I will write a love story properly during this period of vacation."

While chatting, several people talked about what Barrett experienced on Blackwater Island. Professor Wald and Professor Minna were indeed senior professors at Miskatonic University.

For the things that Barrett encountered, they quickly made some accurate judgments. Since they didn't go to see them on the spot, many things can only be speculated.

"Barrett, your choice is correct. Let those common people leave Blackwater Island and not live there. However, the story of Blackwater Island will definitely not end, but I'm afraid it will be a long time later."

"By the way, Barrett, since you have already come into contact with this world, the school just has a mission to go to Egypt for an investigation. Are you interested in going?"

At this time, Professor Wald invited Barrett. After all, Barrett knew both Arabic and Hebrew, so it was very suitable for him to go to Egypt.

But Barrett just lowered his head and thought.

If it is dangerous to go to Egypt, it is absolutely certain, but in Egypt you can get more information, and learn something about Yogg Sothoth and Nyarlathotep.

"Mr. Barrett, we should go back now. After all, Professor Minna still needs to spend a lot of time doing astronomical calculations."

After several people chatted for a while, Professor Wald stood up, looked at Barrett and said.

After leaving, Barrett and Wald went for a walk in the campus, and then parted directly, and Barrett returned to his house alone.

Open the book of Sotos in his hand, and keep flipping through it as before.

At the same time, I took out the books I borrowed from Miskatonic University, and wrote some works using my writing ability when I had time.

But more is still thinking about things in Egypt.

Going to Egypt for an investigation should be the next semester, so at this time Barrett should have a good understanding of desert survival, as well as the customs and stories of Egypt and the Arab world.

·············
Time passed quickly, and Professor Wald came to visit Barrett and the two of them planned to go directly to Professor Minna to see if they had calculated the astronomical phenomenon.

The two walked to the bottom of Professor Minna's room, and saw the bright lights on the second floor. Professor Wald knocked on the door, but after knocking twice, they found that no one came to answer the door.

"What's going on here? Isn't Professor Minna at home now?" Barrett looked up at the brightly lit scene on the second floor with some doubts.

But Wald was able to get out, looked at the second floor, and then said: "The two of us must climb up to take a look. I don't believe that Professor Minna is not staying at home."

Seeing Wald's seriousness, Barrett also nodded, moved the wooden boxes next to him, and stacked them next to the window.

The two climbed onto the wooden box and turned directly to the second floor.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a broken lamp holder in the hall.

"It's really strange, why there is no news or sound after the lamp holder is broken."

Professor Wald squatted next to the lamp socket, and said with some doubts, but Barrett almost instinctively took out the revolver from his arms.

Seeing Barrett like this, Professor Wald didn't say a word, but kept walking ahead.

"Professor Minna!" Wald shouted in his mouth.

Under the leadership of Wald, the two of them walked directly into the study in Professor Minna's room. Just after entering the study, they saw pencils and various scraps of paper all over the floor.

Within the streaks of scraps of paper, Barrett even saw a large number of calculation formulas, obviously studying astrology.

There is a huge world map on the table in the middle of the study, and there is a globe next to the world map. On the globe, many places are marked with pencils.

Professor Wald walked to the table with a solemn face. There was still a teacup on the table, which was still steaming.

Gently touching the teacup with his hand to feel the temperature, Professor Wald's complexion became even worse. He turned to look at Barrett and said, "Professor Minna was still here before we came, but only for a short time. Within a few minutes, Professor Ming Na suddenly disappeared, it seems that something terrible must have happened."

Barrett also walked to Professor Walder's side, looked down at the world map on the table, and touched the teacup again.

But when he turned his head and looked at the scene in the study, it seemed that there were no traces of humans leaving, and no signs of other criminals breaking in.

So what exactly happened? Professor Ming Na who was sitting in the study disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Coupled with the suddenly broken lamps in the hall, Barrett suspected that some people seemed to have broken into Professor Minna's house, but the surrounding windows and doors showed no signs of being broken.

"Could it be that something other than humans came to capture Professor Minna?" Barrett said, looking down at the map.

"I'm not sure, but if this thing is not done by humans, then only other things can do it, and we have to search the room again." Professor Wald's face turned pale. Very bad, the voice has some low voice.

The two of them began to search independently in Professor Minna's room.

Barrett walked into the corridor on the left. Professor Minna has a relatively large house in Arkham City, with a total area of ​​500 square meters.

Walking in it, Barrett felt very crowded, mainly because the corridor was so narrow and low. For some unknown reason, Barrett saw another broken light bulb in front of him.

Turning his head, many light bulbs were broken along the way, basically the light bulbs above the corridor.

"It seems that something should have happened at the end of this corridor." Barrett judged it almost instantly, took the revolver in his hand, and ran towards the end of the corridor.

However, at this moment, Professor Wald's shout came.

"Barrett, I found something very important here, come here quickly!"
