The more highly educated people are, the more convinced they are of their own opinions.

Aaron is an interesting city. While other areas still retain a lot of primitive worship and folklore, they have been buried deeply here with the shovel called "science".

Buried under cement roads, buried under cities, buried under rocks and sand, waiting for someone to wake them up.

After several days of visits, Hewen has collected a lot of useful information.

In a civilized city, people do not believe in the existence of ghosts and non-human creatures, and hearsay rumors are often difficult to ferment into sensational supernatural stories. Therefore, when something truly unusual happens, it will become particularly conspicuous.

The Forerunner Research Institute is a scientific research institution that studies non-human races. Every move they make may cause waves on this calm lake that lacks mystery.

Hewen organized the things collected at Allen University into entries and tentatively named them the Nine Legends of Allen University.

Among them, there are three relatively traceable ones: the black stickman, the imprisoned old man, and the professor who haunts at midnight.

The story of the black stickman is relatively simple and in line with people's illusions about a better future.

It is said that many students have seen a black stick figure jumping on the paper. His body is composed of simple black oil pen lines, the head is a circle, the body is several line segments, and the palm is a small black dot.

Of course, such a story can only be regarded as a third-rate ordinary rumor, so it still needs some desirable content to embellish it.

It is said that as long as you prepare a blank notebook and place it on the path that the stickman must pass, but when he jumps from other papers into the notebook, close it immediately, and you will get a black stickman.

A stickman who can make any wish come true.

That's right, in the popular stories, this stick figure composed of oil pen lines can achieve feats that even the gods dare not promise, and can realize any wish.

From being able to excel in studies, to being extremely wealthy, or even ruling the entire continent, according to legend, the stickman can make it happen for you.

But this is not a gift, it is a transaction.

The stickman must collect corresponding rewards, and this reward is directly proportional to the requester's wishes.

The reward not only depends on the difficulty of realizing the wish itself, but also on the desire of the wisher and the difficulty of achieving it.

For kings and commoners, there is a world of difference between what a piece of gold requires, and what a true love requires.

Obviously, for students, it is impossible for them to make any wish to rule the country and summon the doomsday.

At most, you can change the mind of the person you admire, successfully get a good job, and be appreciated by the big boss.

Under normal circumstances, behind this kind of legend is most likely the existence of some kind of elf, or a devil from a foreign land.

Naturally, these creatures have no real ability to distort reality. All they do is use their abilities to realize their so-called wishes to a certain extent.

For example, using love potions to influence the mind of the opposite sex you like, giving you gold coins that you have treasured for many years, slightly increasing your luck, etc.

Fortunately for elves, they are more like naughty children, and the most damage they cause is often just a bad prank, while devils...

Devils never trade at a loss. What they lose will be gained from traders tenfold or a hundredfold.

The second story - the imprisoned old man - is even more confusing, and the rumor is made up of many fragments.

Some witnesses claimed that they saw a well-dressed old man bound and imprisoned by something.

But when they thought about it afterwards, they couldn't tell what exactly the old man was trapped in. It wasn't a chain or a cell.

Just when they see the old man, they naturally feel that he has been deprived of his freedom and squeezed out of his living space.

According to another theory, some people saw a ragged old man tied up with chains in a building that had been abandoned for many years in the school. His red eyes were like a wild beast, roaring at everyone who appeared.

But no sound came out, not even a low hum.

It was as if he were a mime playing a silent beast.

These two old men with different appearances were considered by the students to be two sides of a monster.

Except for witnesses who lacked evidence, no one had much contact with this old man. It seemed that the so-called imprisoned old man did not know or want to do anything to them, whether it was hurting or giving.

For this reason, not many people paid attention to the rumor of imprisoning the old man, because a rumor that does not arouse people's desire or fear is worthless.

Hewen's judgment was that this might just be a rumor spread by someone with intentions, or it might be some kind of undead being bound to the school, or a monk performing ascetic practices.

But as long as he doesn't hurt others, Hewen doesn't intend to find out the truth behind it.

The third rumor is also the most likely to be related to the Forerunner Research Institute - the professor who haunts the night.

When the sun disappeared, many students had seen a man dressed as a scholar wandering around the school.

He is agile and strong, and he shuttles flexibly between buildings without knowing what he is doing.

Because of the mask or mask, no one could see the professor's face, but many students had identified the professor.

The problem is that they are not identifying one person.

Some people say that the professor is Badid from the Department of Chemistry, who is really a vampire who lurks around the clock and emerges at night. Some people say that the professor is Kesma, who teaches economics, and is an underwear thief who has retired for many years. Others say that the professor is Gerry from the Department of Biology.

Mu, he is a werewolf summoned by the moonlight.

There are about a dozen people against whom there are various "accusations", and many of them seem to be revenge and teasing from students who don't like the professor.

In addition to these, there are several other legends, but they either have nothing to do with the institute, or Hevin can tell at a glance that the little elf behind it is causing trouble.

Hewen put away his notebook.

Ha La silently walked up to Hevin and put her hands behind her back.

Hewen asked:

"What's wrong? Do you want to go out and play?"

Ha La shook her head:

"Hewen, are you here because of..."

Hewen quickly replied:

"Catch your bad guy?"

Ha La nodded worriedly:

"They are really dangerous and scary. I know Hevin is very powerful, but..."

Hewen touched the girl's head and comforted:

"If I ignore them, will they let you go?"

Ha La was silent for a while and shook her head.

Hewen said:

"Don't worry, I will be very careful."

The worry on the girl's face did not diminish at all. Hewen knew very well that a huge shadow that once controlled her entire year would definitely leave an invincible and powerful impression on her.

Hevin looked into Ha La's eyes and promised:

"I promise that their investigation will be controlled within a reasonable range and will never put us in danger, okay?"

Ha La said in embarrassment:

"Hewen, you must do what you say."
