Chapter 4 The Weird Tape
If the first floor is a place of practice, then the second floor is the birthplace of theory. There are a large number of small blackboards and boxes of chalk piled in the corners of the wall.
There are all kinds of academic books neatly placed on the bookshelf by the wall, and it is almost difficult to see new ones, most of which are somewhat loose and old books that have been turned over.
On one side of the room, there are some strange photos and various documents and books scattered on the wide desk, mostly descriptions of some strange stories.
"It was an early morning half a year ago, about 3 o'clock. I did an experiment all night and prepared to walk on the beach and relax. When I walked to the northern shore of Bian Tallinn and looked at the Osweather Sea, I saw a figure in the mist on the sea. He stood on the sea surface, with something in his hand, and in front of him, the sea water surged, and several columns of water swam around him like water snakes. This was simply... unbelievable!"
Recalling the past, Cook's eyes were filled with strange brilliance.
Another person who is extremely curious about the other side of this world, Donald wondered how he could always meet this kind of person.
Sherlock is better because there are people in his family who are judges, and he often hears this from Reus. He seems to be about to become a judge recently.
Cook saw a corner of the world where Donald is. As a person who has been rigorous and scientific all his life, one day he suddenly discovered that there is still supernatural power in this world that cannot be explained by science. Those legends that exist in the rumors in the city are actually real.
How can you resist exploring?
Now talking about his memories of the past in front of Donald, how could Donald not know that he just wanted to use this to test his identity?
Do you want to tell him?
The answer is no.
"Is that true? You actually have such a mysterious memory. Does the person who can control the water column on the sea really exist?"
Donald did not mean to express his identity when he lowered his head and thought. Part of the reason was that he was worried that exposing his identity would cause a lot of trouble, and part of the reason was that he did not trust Stoyat Cook.
Donald looked for an opportunity to see the old man's soul. He was a completely ordinary person. It can be said that ordinary people cannot be more ordinary, but he was not sure whether there were "special people" among the people Cook knew, which kept him on guard all the time, and it was no need to say much about the reason for this psychological state.
He didn't want to break the stable situation that he finally got.
"It's quite amazing... Then, let's do it. This is my course schedule. There will be a class tomorrow. Before 8 o'clock in the morning, I will wait at the door here. There may be some materials and instruments needed for class that need to be sorted out. Are there any problems?"
Donald did not give the expected answer. Cook took out the course schedule from the drawer and handed it on the table. He placed his hands on the table and pointed his fingers at the table. He did not hide his disappointment at all, but it was limited to this, and there was no more extreme words and deeds.
He didn't fire himself on the spot...
Donald stood at the table, thinking about the possibility of Cook slamming the table and letting him leave after learning that he was not a wizard, or changing him to another job in a more tactful way, and he was invisible. He never thought it would end like this.
"No problem, I will arrive on time. In addition, I have a small request, that is, can I borrow some basic books on experimental operations in the future, and I also want to learn chemistry experiments and other operations."
The configuration of talent potion is something that concerns your life and life. Donald naturally doesn't want to tell others about the formula of Moonlight Ink, but his experience in the configuration of potion is close to 0, and he needs to learn this knowledge.
"Are you interested in this? Learning is an encouragement, but most of the books I have here may be more complicated. Even if you borrow them, you can't understand them without systematic learning. So, I will give you my debit card. The library has a lot of books on this aspect, so you can borrow them at any time."
"Thank you very much, is there anything I need to do now? I don't bring anything and can get into the work anytime."
Donald needs to take a walk in Demingham tonight. The materials of the two things, namely gifted potions and moonlight ink, are not available in a store. There may be some special materials that need to be purchased in the underground market. He is not sure where the underground market in Demingham is. In the past, the method of identifying it in the city of Puston is not known whether it can be used in Demingham.
"For the time being... help me sort out the basement? I'm old and there are a lot of experimental equipment in the basement that needs to be sorted out. After sorting out, you can first get familiar with the school and the surrounding environment. Just arrive here on time tomorrow."
It was just a temporary intention to let Donald be his assistant coach, but Cook really didn't have any job to him for a while. When he thought of the items stored in his basement, he would try it again.
After looking at the clock on the wall, it was only 9 a.m., and Donald had nowhere to go for the moment. Although the trains these two days made him mentally exhausted, he had not had the time to rest immediately due to meditation.
The basement was not as mess as Donald imagined, and there was no dust accumulation. It should have been cleaned not long ago, but many strange mechanical instruments were piled up. The workbench in the center was particularly strange. It looked like an irregular mechanical box, with two iron bars extending from the top, and two trumpet-shaped objects hanging from the outside.
"This is the latest phonograph. I like to listen to some music when I stay up late to work, which can make my mind active. Do you want to try it?"
Cook stood at the table and saw Donald paying attention to the phonograph. His face was not showing any expression, but he opened the mechanical tray under the phonograph. There was actually a record inside, but he took it out to avoid Donald's gaze and put it down. He took out a tape preserved in special paper from the box on the other side and put it in the middle section for the empty space specially provided for the recording tape to play.
Scream~ Scream~
Simple electric sound.
Hula ~ bang~ Hula ~
The sudden sound from the phonograph stopped Donald, who was cleaning up some mechanical parts on the desktop, and there was also a prelude to this type of song?
It was like a storm, and it was mixed with the sound of waves hitting the reefs or the impact of ship decks. This sound made Donald involuntarily concentrate.
"Diary Log, March 5th, today is our trip to sea...
"The storm is too heavy, lower the sails quickly, put the anchor down and stabilize..."
"I am coming......"
"Captain! The boat keeps shaking again and again, the anchor is good..."
"Revenge, I'll take revenge..."
"Captain! The bottom of the bilge is leaking, and it seems that something has sunk!"
"Feel the Angry Sea Wave!"
Click ~ the sound stopped.
Donald subconsciously frowned. I don’t know where the recording came from, but there was a low voice mixed in the dialogue between the characters, which was completely incompatible with the content of the dialogue. Although the sound was blurry, it did exist.
He looked at Cook with some confusion, he didn't understand why the other party wanted to play this recording for him.
"Sorry, I misplaced it. This is the music record. This tape was from the Maritime Office in Xialin District some time ago. Because the people inside said that the voice of the sea god was recorded in the tape. I forgot to take it out after listening to it last night... Donald Do you believe that there is a sea god?"
"Sea God? Of course, it exists according to the contents of religious culture, otherwise there would be no sect that believes in the sea God. However, I don't think the sea God appears in the tape."
If you cannot express your identity, there is nothing to avoid when discussing such matters. It is nothing more than some personal opinions. Cook has helped him a lot, and there is no need to refute him in such a place.
"Oh? What's the point?"
The young man didn't think it was an accident, which made Cook a little excited. He had heard this recording for many people, but many people just listened to it as a strange story, saying that the sound of a storm may have changed the voice of the people next to him or that someone deliberately recorded the wrong editing.
"Revenge appears in the words, which is not what the sea god can say. The wrath of the gods is called divine punishment or divine power in religion. The word revenge is absolutely unfavorable."
Donald used to study religion and couldn't remember the content, but he had read a lot of books on this area in Puston City, and he recalled a lot. It would be better to put it here as a cover.
"Donald, you seem to know religion very well?"
"Didn't I tell you that I learned religious teaching when I was in Pston."
“Religion? It means you have a very good academic knowledge of religion?”
Demingham is a free zone of belief. Such as Royal Deloring, who have the royal prefix title, were naturally funded by the empire. Although there are also religious teachings here, they are either clergy in their seventies or eighties, or so-called experts who have only a few knowledge of religion. They talk about one thing, but in fact they know everything they know is the situation more than ten years ago and have no reference meaning.
Donald's education obviously made Cook think that he had found a chat person, at least the other party believed that some things did exist.
"Then what do you think this sound could be caused?"
While excited, Cook asked again.
"I think it may be related to the existence of ghosts, but I'm not sure, after all, no one has seen ghosts."
In fact, Donald believes that the sound in this tape is very likely left by the ghost. These strange sounds cannot be heard by ordinary people, but they are recorded by the tape.
"Your idea is interesting, I think there will be many common topics between us."
