We have all the necessary technologies, mobile phones, computers, the Internet... This is a modern world.
Gu Jun sat in the back seat of this Buick car, looking through the car window at this ancient New England-style town.
Arkham was built along both sides of the Miskatonic River. It can be divided into the north and the south by the two banks, connected by three bridges.
On both sides of the river are old-era buildings with mansard roofs, gabled roofs covered with moss, and green meadows scattered like rocks. Although it is a small town, it has all kinds of facilities, including densely populated universities.
, in addition to mental hospitals, there are several hospitals, churches, prisons, theaters, etc.
There are several major newspapers here, "Arkham Gazette", "Arkham Advertiser", and "Arkham Candide" where Hannah Mazelvich works is only at the bottom, and in recent years
Due to the impact of new online media, these traditional newspapers are having a hard time surviving. Hannah should not be so busy.
When it comes to the history of Arkham, the witch trials cannot be avoided in surrounding areas such as Salem, Chicktown, and Innsmouth.
Before that, Gu Jun got back his "own" cell phone and Jem's cell phone. He didn't find any special information in the phone.
It's just that through pictures, documents, etc., I have a better understanding of my current identity.
Then, he used this mobile phone to search online and found out that there was a so-called "Witch House" in Arkham, where Kezia Mason once lived.
Here, Kezia Mason is not only a character in "The King in Yellow", but also a historical figure. She was a person in the 17th century, living in the family's big house, was caught for witchcraft, and then opened a space in prison.
The door, along with her mysterious cat and ghost disappeared from then on, and the jailer who witnessed it was stunned.
Gu Jun first heard about the legend of this witch from old man Joyce in Chirktown, Massachusetts in the early 20th century.
What he heard at that time did not involve the ghost cats and ghosts.
But here, in the modern version of the 21st century world of Massachusetts, the details of the legend have changed a bit, and the changes they caused.
The "Witch House" is one of the more popular attractions in Arkham.
Many years ago, the old big house was bought by a businessman, renovated and turned into a witch-themed exploration hotel. Visitors can stay in the room where the witch once lived and see the things left by the witch herself.
Occult carvings, spells, etc.
But Gu Jun found a report on the Internet, saying that those occult things were just marketing created by the merchants later, and in fact they were full of loopholes.
On the hotel review website, the Witch's House has a very low rating, only 3.1 out of 5. The service attitude is poor, the room is messy, the wifi signal is poor, and sometimes there is a problem with the hot water supply. The most negative reviews are:
I stayed there for one night and didn't encounter anything supernatural at all.
Despite this, the Witch's House still has visitors every day, and young tourists go there looking for excitement.
Gu Jun looked at these comments and found them quite strange.
He had been to Chicktown and Arkham Prison in 1692, and knew how wild it was in the old days, and knew that strange things did happen here.
But now, it seems that all the frightening darkness has dissipated, and the witch's house is letting people who have never seen real darkness laugh and curse.
Arkham Asylum is located on the outskirts of the northern part of town, while Mazelvich's family is located in a community in the south, where they also operate a small supermarket.
So during this drive, the car crossed the Miskatonic River. Gu Jun saw boats on the wide, sea-like river, tourists walking along the river bank, and large groups of white pigeons flying around. It was a peaceful scene.
But for some reason, he always felt that the faces of those tourists were a bit fake.
The car crossed the river and arrived at the community on Herget Road. There were also houses with mansard roofs and green garden lawns in front.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a two-story house. Sanders had already gotten out of the car and left. Bob and Janet took Gu Jun down.
"Jim, welcome home." Bob's cheerful smile was very friendly.
Gu Jun observed all the way, got out of the car, walked onto the porch, and entered the house. He saw some photos on the wall not far from the door, each of which seemed to confirm Jem's existence. In the name of amnesia, he asked
The story behind every photo.
"This is your piano performance at the sophomore year of high school." Bob pointed to a photo of Jem playing the piano on the stage and said very proudly.
Gu Jun can't play the piano and has never learned it, but he knows who can play, Mozart, Xiao Huili and other girls...
"When will Hannah come back?" he asked, it was almost evening.
"She hasn't gotten off work yet." Bob was proud when talking about his daughter. "She is good at work, and the newspaper office leaves everything to her."
Gu Jun listened first and said he wanted to be alone for a while. Bob and Janet went to the kitchen to make dinner.
He seriously returned to his home, walked around casually, walked up to the second floor, and entered Jem's room. The door was half open, it was obviously a boy's room. Regardless of whether there was hidden surveillance or not, he immediately
Rummaging through boxes and cabinets is like playing a game and entering an NPC's home.
Jim Mazelvich is a medical dog, an American medical dog is also a medical dog. There are bone models, surgical suture practice equipment and other things on the desk.
Gu Jun looked really nostalgic, and thought again of his Calop equipment, and now he didn't know where they were.
He went through many of Jem's belongings, but when it came to "The King in Yellow", it was still like a blank sheet of paper, and he couldn't find anything.
"How is it possible?" Gu Jun frowned and thought, there is also a process for acute madness.
Sanders said that Jem was talking about "The King in Yellow" as early as half a month before April Fool's Day, and Jem should have read it earlier.
One characteristic of medical dogs is that they have to take a lot of notes, notes, notes, notes! Draw lines, draw pictures, mind maps, all kinds of things.
If you don’t take notes, review and recite, you won’t be able to remember it.
He saw some of Jem's notes on the desk, which were also extremely detailed and excellent.
Since such a person is so interested in "Gu Jun" and even suspects that he is "Gu Jun", he should want to clarify the story one by one, right?
Especially in the Alien Locust chapter, several worlds are intertwined, different time and space are intertwined, and there are so many clues that it would be wise to at least make a mind map.
Was it placed in the school dormitory? But on the day he went crazy on April Fool's Day, Jim was at home and the backpack was in this room.
Gu Jun had an idea, maybe Jem actually did it, and even had a lot of notes, but...the files were taken away.
He thought as he walked out of the room and looked at the other room at the end of the corridor, Hannah's room.
Maybe that's the real witch's house.
Since I'm Jem, it's normal for me to go into my sister's room and take a look.
Gu Jun walked over casually, held the door handle and pushed it. It was not locked and could be opened.
