For Professor Amitage, the experience that night changed his life forever.

What Fang Zheng didn't know was that the unlucky guy who was bitten to death by a dog that Francis told him about was actually the tall, goat-faced, and very weird-looking man that Fang Zheng and Professor Amitage met in the library on the day of the school anniversary.

At that time, this man wanted to borrow the Book of the Dead from Miskanitok University to try to complete a part. His performance attracted the attention of Professor Amitage, but at that time, Professor Amitage only regarded him as an ordinary human being. Professor Amitage originally planned to tell the man that even if he could not take the book away, he could copy the part he needed.

However, the man's enthusiasm for the Book of the Dead aroused Professor Amitage's vigilance, which made him give up the idea and make him leave with the help of Fang Zheng.

After that, Professor Amitage wrote letters to other universities that had the Book of the Dead, warning them to be wary of a young man named Wilbur Wallace who was trying to borrow the Book of the Dead. This caused that man to run into obstacles everywhere and was unable to obtain the information he wanted.

But what disturbed Professor Amitage was that he was not a human being! Instead, he was some kind of terrifying creature that he could not imagine at all!

At that moment, the vague uneasiness turned into a vivid fear. He saw with his own eyes the completely inhuman tissues and structures under the man's body, and how he melted, as well as the nighthawks' chirping sounds as if they were filled with joy.

This reminded Professor Amitage of the superstitions and old rumors that were circulated in the ancient area of ​​Dunwich. Those rumors were passed on by word of mouth among the country folk and were regarded as superstition and ignorance. At this moment, those rumors had unparalleled authenticity and persuasiveness.

But this is not the only thing that makes Professor Amitage suffer.

After that, the authorities sent a diary of Wilbur Wallett to Miskatonic University for interpretation. The diary was written in a completely incomprehensible language and looked like a code book. Professor Amitage volunteered to translate it out of interest and knowledge of language and occultism.

At first, it was very difficult to decipher the diary, but gradually, Professor Amitage finally figured out what was inside.

And all that made him shudder.

This diary describes the terrible deeds of the Volet clan - they worship some unknown and terrible evil god, and old Volet even used his daughter to give birth to two children with the other party, one of whom is Wilbur, and the other has never appeared.

But these are not the most important things. The important thing is that the diary also mentioned that the Volet clan tried to use some ancient ritual to summon some terrible ancient creatures from another world to exterminate everything on Earth.

The deeper he went into it, the worse the old professor's spirit became. The evil that spread between the lines made him sweat profusely and unable to sleep at night.

In fact, when Francis saw the old professor again, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Are you all right, Professor Armitage?"

"Ah, it's you, Francis."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Professor Amitichi relaxed a little. He had a very deep memory of this young man, not only because he was the first one to arrive at the scene, but also because he looked very calm, even now.

"What do you want from me, kid?"

"this……"

Looking at Professor Amitage, Francis hesitated, but he still spoke in a low voice.

"Well... Professor Amitage, I want to say that if there is anything you need help with, maybe I can help you, you know, about that monster..."

Hearing this, Professor Amitage suddenly became nervous. He looked around nervously, then looked at Francis again.

"How did you know that, kid? I should have told you not to tell anyone about this."

"But this is different, Professor."

At this point, Francis mustered up his courage.

"I know what you're thinking, but I assure you that I understand all of this much more deeply than you think. In fact, I've experienced similar things before, and more than once."

"oh?!"

Professor Amitage was shocked to hear this, and he hurriedly invited Francis into the room.

"real?"

"Of course, maybe this is quite incredible..."

Facing Professor Armitage, Francis tells his story about his experience in the mysterious town of Innsmouth near Arkham, and the terrifying ancient existence they faced in the waters off Greenland, as well as the colorful monster that emerged from the meteorite that fell from the sky...

After hearing Francis's story, Amitage felt his body begin to tremble again. Although Francis was not a good storyteller and he even spoke stutteringly, the creepy distortion and evil contained in his story were exactly the same as what Amitage felt from Wilbur's diary.

"So... young man, you... can drive away those monsters?"

"No, no, no, I can't do that, Professor."

Facing Amitage's expectant question, Francis waved his hand hastily.

"But Mr. Van Helsing can!"

"Mr. Van Helsing... Ah, that one."

After hearing Francis' answer, Amitichi thought for a moment, and then he remembered the young man he had met once in the library during the school anniversary celebration.

"he……?"

"Yes, Professor Amitage, you may think that Mr. Van Helsing is too young, but I can assure you that he possesses considerable power. In fact, I was able to escape all the troubles I encountered thanks to his help. He has saved our world from the hands of those evil beings more than once, so... I mean, if you have any difficulties or problems that you cannot solve, you can go to Mr. Van Helsing for help. I think he will be very happy to assist you."

"I see... Thank you, I see."

After hearing this, Amitichi more or less understood Francis's purpose. Although he didn't know much about Fang Zheng, Amitichi already had some ideas.

After seeing Francis off, Amitage devoted himself to translating the diary again. He almost forgot to eat and sleep, and read the entire diary as if possessed. Then he took a short nap, stumbled to grab the diary, and rushed out of the library.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!!"

There was a violent knock on the door, which scared Fang Zheng and the little angel. Even Asakura Ryoko stood up in confusion.

"What's going on? I didn't borrow any money from a loan shark. Who would dare to come to my house to collect the debt?"

Fang Zheng also stood up and put on his coat. At the same time, he thought to himself, could it be that the Federal Reserve discovered that he had stolen their money and was looking for trouble? This shouldn't be the case. How could the Federal Reserve have the ability to do this?

The FBI couldn't catch him in so many worlds, so how could they catch him in this world where there aren't even satellites?

It's really like seeing a ghost.

"Go open the door."

"Yes, Master."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Asakura Ryoko quickly walked to the door and opened it. Then she talked to someone for a few words and turned back helplessly.

"Master, it's Professor Henry Armitage of Miskanitok University. He said he wants to discuss something urgent with you."

"Professor Armitage...oh, that old gentleman."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let him in."

Not long after he finished speaking, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Fang Zheng saw Professor Amitage rushing in.

"Mr. Van Helsing, help!"

"…Uh, Professor, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Professor Amitage's distraught look, Fang Zheng was also surprised.

Besides, this is not a police station. Why are you shouting for help here?

Although he was a little dazed, Fang Zheng still asked Asakura Ryoko to prepare tea. After drinking a cup of hot tea, Professor Amitage relaxed a little. He then took out the diary and stuttered to tell Fang Zheng about his discovery.

For Amitage, this was simply a nightmare, but for Fang Zheng...

"A monster that can kill a guard dog... I believe you think it has some conspiracy, but it is a threat to the world..."

Fang Zheng shook his head while flipping through the diary. To be honest, after he learned about the situation from Francis, Fang Zheng basically didn't take it to heart.

After all, how weak must a clan member be to be bitten to death by a dog? Even the Deep Divers are not that weak.

"……Um?"

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng saw the spell at the back of the diary, and one of the names caught his attention.

Yog-Sothoth?

Could this matter be related to Yog-Sothoth?

If that's the case, then Fang Zheng can't just pretend he didn't see it. Since it's related to Yog-Sothoth... then he can just take this opportunity to get in touch with Yog-Sothoth, right?

"I see."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng had already made up his mind and closed the diary in his hand. Then he raised his head and looked at the frightened Professor Amitage in front of him, smiling slightly.

"I'll take care of it."
