Creaking, Gu Jun slowly pushed open the wooden door. The room was gray and hazy, and everything was shrouded in shadow.
He frowned, touched the light switch on the wall next to the door, pressed it, and made a snap sound.
But the light didn't come on, and the room light seemed to be broken.
He looked more carefully and felt that everything in the room was fading and floating. The classical wooden bed and the wardrobe against the wall even seemed to be looming. They seemed to be somewhere between existence and non-existence, and they had obviously disappeared.
Yeah, blink your eyes, and it's still there again.
"Is this a mental or vision problem on my part? Or is it a problem with the room itself?"
Regarding this question, Gu Jun almost immediately made a judgment.
Witch's house?
He thought about Kezia Mason again. She was not a good person, but she could not be simply defined as a bad person.
She actually doesn't believe in Nyarlathotep, she only believes in herself.
If she hadn't found the prayer calling Shub-Nicholas in time and space, perhaps the decisive victory would have had a different outcome.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and Gu Jun was almost startled. Because he has high gnosis and has been trained, he can hear clearly the subtle sounds in the distance, but just now, he didn't hear it.
than any footsteps.
Gu Jun looked back and saw a female figure standing behind him at some point.
He has long red hair, light green eyes, a face with delicate and beautiful features, looks to be about twenty-five years old, and wears a denim jacket and overalls.
It's Hanna Mazelvich, but she looks like Kezia Mason, the witch.
Her face was expressionless, making Gu Jun unable to guess what she was thinking.
"Do you walk silently?" he asked.
"You can have it, you can have it without." Hannah Mazelvich smiled slightly, "How are you doing now? Are you okay?"
Gu Jun looked at her intently and said something that sounded like he was suffering from a mental problem, "Kezia Mason, I want to ask you, what is going on?"
"Kezia Mason? Me?" Hannah said and shrugged. "You've thought so since April Fool's Day. Jem, you are a smart man. You have no religion. You don't believe in God or ghosts.
Ling, you are not the kind of person who goes crazy easily, why did you suddenly go crazy?"
"Maybe you know the answer." Gu Jun looked inside the room again, becoming more and more hazy, "Don't tell me, it's normal for your room to look like this."
"What's wrong with my room?" Hannah still shrugged, "Call Mom and Dad up and let them see what's wrong."
Before Gu Jun could speak, Hannah shouted, and soon Bob and Janet came up the wooden stairs quickly, asking what happened. Hannah said: "Dad, Mom,
How about you guys taking a look at my room?"
The eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Mazelvich looked puzzled, without any change in color. It seemed to them that everything in the room was as usual.
"Is there a light?" Hannah asked.
"Of course, honey." Janet replied incomprehensibly, and looked at Jem with concern, "Are you okay?"
At the same time, Gu Jun was also looking at the room, which was almost empty.
He didn't speak, but just watched with cold eyes as Hannah drove the couple out again, and then she strode into the room, opened her hands, and said, "I'm here."
"So you want to tell me," Gu Jun said, "that there is indeed something wrong with my mental state?"
"Obviously." Hannah nodded, but her expression gradually became colder, "If there is no mental problem with you, how can you see the problem?"
Gu Jun condensed his eyes, there was something in her words, "What do you mean?"
"Can we really see our own faces?" Hannah walked over to where a quaint dressing mirror stood. "In the mirror? From the water? My brother, our eyes are not destined to be precise.
Seeing our own face. How can we know that what we see in front of us is real?"
Gu Jun listened, this woman's attitude was not like Sanders, Bob and others, she was saying that he was not crazy.
He saw something strange in the room, and she didn't deny it. It was because others couldn't see it, couldn't see the strange thing, and couldn't see the real problem.
"Come on, come with me. I'll take you to a place to see." Hannah walked out of the room and walked down the stairs. Soon her voice rang again: "Mom, Dad, Jem and I have something to go out for."
After walking around, we ate dinner outside, don’t worry, it’s nothing important.”
That's it, Gu Jun left his "home" less than an hour ago and got into a white Chevrolet driven by Hannah.
The car started its engine and was racing on the road at a very fast speed. It was not as fast as the power of a Chevrolet model.
"Don't worry, we won't have a traffic accident." Hannah said, "No matter how fast we drive, we won't."
At night, as the car passed by on the road, Gu Jun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, noticed that there were no vehicles on the road. Although this was just a small town in Citigroup, it was too empty. And the building he passed by
The house with a mansard roof seemed to have no one living in it, even though the lights were on. It was too quiet.
Hannah controlled the steering wheel and drove the car all the way south.
The navigation map shows that there are still 3 miles left before driving out of Arkham. Soon, there are 2 miles left, 1 mile...
Gu Jun's eyes gradually saw an inexplicable scene. The space outside Arkham in front of him was just like Hannah's room. It was floating, deformed, and looming. If he wanted to look at it clearly, he only saw more and more of it.
Weird nothingness.
The car stopped next to a road sign with the name of the town "arkham".
Hannah turned to look at him, then looked ahead again.
"I think carefully about these years, can you believe it, I have never left Arkham. I was born here, grew up here, went to school here, and then worked here. I should go out to study, summer camp, travel
Yes, even if you go to other nearby towns.
But no, in my memory, in the photos at home, it is shown that I have always been in Arkham.
It was just a week ago that I read the book "The King in Yellow" that drove you crazy, and then I suddenly understood and could see something else."
"Brother, this is a big lunatic asylum." She said, "I just don't know if we are crazy or if we are the only ones who are not crazy."
Gu Jun pondered, "You have no idea about Kezia Mason? You look exactly like her."
"No." Hannah shook her head, "But who knows, maybe I am the one who lost my memory."
"Have you tried driving the car out?" Gu Jun asked again.
