This world, 8th April 2022.
It had all the necessary technology, mobile phones, computers, internet … This was a modern world.
Gu Jun sat at the back of the Buick. Through the window, he looked at this old New England town.
Arkham was built along the banks of the Miskatonic River. It was divided into the north and south and was connected by 3 bridges.
Both sides of the river were lined with old buildings with double roofs. Some had roofs covered in moss and some had green meadows scattered like rocks. Even though this was a small town, it had all kinds of facilities. Other than a mental hospital, there were several hospitals, churches, prisons, theaters and so on.
There were a few major newspapers here, the Arkham Gazette and the Arkham Advertiser. The Arkham Honest that Hannah Mazurewicz worked for was at the back of the list. Due to the impact of the internet, these traditional newspapers were having a hard time. Hannah shouldn't have been so busy.
When it came to the history of Arkham, Salem, Chickadown and Innsmouth, they were all closely related to the witch trials.
Before that, Gu Jun took back his' own 'phone — Jim's phone. He did not find anything special on it.
However, through the pictures and documents, he gained a better understanding of his current identity.
Then he used the phone to search online. This Arkham had the so-called Witch House, Keziah Mason's former home.
Here, Keziah Mason was not only a character from the King in Yellow, she was also a historical character. She came from the 17th century and lived in her family's mansion. She was arrested for witchcraft. Then she opened a dimensional door and disappeared with her cat and ghost. The prison warden was shocked.
The first time Gu Jun heard the legend of this witch was from Old Man Joyce at Chicanton. It was the Massachusetts World in the early 20th century.
At the time, he did not hear about the cat and ghost.
But here, in the 21st century Massachusetts World, the details of the legend had changed. The change was caused by them.
The Witch House was one of the more popular tourist attractions in Arkham.
Many years ago, the old house was bought by a merchant and renovated into a witch-themed hotel. Visitors can stay in the room where the witch once lived and see the mysterious carvings and spells left by the witch.
However, Gu Jun found a report on the Internet that said that the mysticism stuff was just marketing by the merchants. In fact, it was full of loopholes.
On the hotel review website, the Witch's House had a very low rating, only 3.1 out of 5. The service was bad, the rooms were dirty, the WiFi signal was bad, and sometimes there were problems with the hot water supply. The most negative comment was that no supernatural incidents happened during the night.
Even so, the Witch House still had visitors every day. Young tourists went there in search of excitement.
Gu Jun looked at these comments and felt that it was quite strange.
He had been to Chickadown, to Arkham Prison in 1692, and he knew how wild this place was in the old days. He knew that strange things did exist here.
But now, it seemed like all the scary darkness had disappeared. The Witch's House was no longer a place for people who had never seen real darkness to laugh and curse.
Arkham Asylum was located at the outskirts of the northern part of town. The Mazurewicz family was located in a community in the southern part of town.
Therefore, on this journey, the car crossed the Miskatonic River. Gu Jun could see boats coming and going on the spacious surface of the river. There were tourists walking along the riverbank and large flocks of white pigeons flying in the sky. It was a peaceful scene.
But for some reason, he felt that the faces of the tourists were fake.
The car crossed the river and arrived at the residential area on Hegat Road. It was also a residential area with fold-down roofs. There was a green garden in front of it.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a two-storey house. Sunders had already left the car. Bob and Janet led Gu Jun out.
"Jim, welcome home." Bob's smile was warm and friendly.
Gu Jun observed along the way. He got out of the car and walked to the porch. He entered the house and saw some pictures on the wall not far from the door. Each of them seemed to confirm Jim's existence. He used memory loss as an excuse to ask about the story behind each picture.
"This is your piano performance at the second year anniversary." Bob pointed at a picture of Jim playing the piano on stage. He sounded very proud.
Gu Jun did not know how to play the piano. He had never learned, but he knew who could. Mozart, Little Huili, and the other girls …
"When will Hannah be back?" he asked. It was almost evening.
"She's still at work, right?" Bob was also proud when he talked about his daughter. "She's very good at work, so she's doing everything in the news agency."
Gu Jun listened and said that he wanted to be alone for a while. Bob and Janet went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
He acted like he had really returned to his own home. He walked around casually and went to the second floor. He entered Jim's room. The door was half open. It was obviously a boy's room. Regardless of whether there were hidden cameras or not, Gu Jun rummaged through the room like he was playing a game.
Jim Mazurewicz was a medical dog. An American medical dog was also a medical dog. On the desk were skeletal models, surgical sutures, and other things.
Gu Jun felt nostalgic. He was reminded of his Carlop instruments. He had no idea where they were now.
He looked through many of Jim's belongings but the King in Yellow was like a blank piece of paper. He could not find anything.
"How is that possible?" Gu Jun frowned. There was a process to going through acute insanity.
Half a month before April Fool's Day, Jim was already talking about the King in Yellow, so Jim should have read it earlier than that.
Medical dogs had one thing in common, they needed to keep a lot of notes. Notes, notes, and more notes! Drawing, drawing, mind mapping, all kinds of notes.
Without notes and revision, one would not be able to remember them all.
He found some of Jim's notes on the table, they were also very detailed.
Since a person like him was so interested in 'Gu Jun' and suspected that he was' Gu Jun ', he would have wanted to clear up the story, right?
Especially the Locust Anomaly chapter, the worlds intertwined, different dimensions intertwined. There were so many clues, at least a mind map should have been made.
Was it in the dormitory? But on the day of April Fool's Day, Jim was at home and the backpack was in this room.
A thought occurred to Gu Jun. Could it be that Jim had done it and kept many notes but … the documents had been taken away?
He walked out of the room and glanced at the other room at the end of the corridor, Hannah's room.
Perhaps that was the real Witch's House.
Since I'm Jim, it's normal for me to visit my sister's room.
Gu Jun walked over casually and pushed the door handle. It was not locked, it could be opened.
