On the third floor of the darkened library, a strange kerosene lamp sits in the corner of an old desk. The lampshade was stained with some old dust, making the hazy light seem to take on an unclean color.

The barking of dogs outside the door grew louder and louder, and almost maddened howls filled the entire library. At this time, the people who went to self-study were almost gone, and only Ye Yifan and An Ge were still left on the third floor to tell the taboo story.......

The light of the kerosene lamp flickered, reflecting Ye Yifan's extremely ugly face, which he would only show when he saw something incomprehensible.

In front of him was a photograph, black and white, but it seemed to be too old and a little yellow. It doesn't affect the view, but it seems to bring some weird color to the photo.

An invisible wind blew, and it was the light of the kerosene lamp that left Ye Yifan's face and shone on the yellowed and weird photo.

The photo depicts six strange figures. It appears to be the body of a girl, dressed in black and other costumes, and it seems that a witch is performing a strange ritual. Holding hands, they surrounded two lifeless corpses, but it seemed as if they had come back to life.......

Those who have risen from the dead.

Ye Yifan's inspiration exploded again, even if this photo was separated by three hundred years, he could still feel the dark power in it, and there was no doubt that it was an indescribable power.

It seems to be remembered that Uncle Ango said that in the Salem witch trial, the first to be hanged was the accused girl. Aren't they dead? Could it be that the Salem witch trial was really the work of witches?

It's a little weird, a little cold...... When he came back to his senses, Ye Yifan's forehead was already covered in a row of cold sweat, and his face was a little pale, as if he had been greatly shocked.

"Uncle Ango, is there really Yogsothoth involved in the Salem witch trial?" Ye Yifan swallowed and said.

"Ah~! Don't you still believe Uncle Ango? I've long said that the witch case has something to do with Yogsothoth......"

Ango pushed his glasses and said solemnly: "The Salem witch trial, like the Dunwich terror, has the influence of evil forces. One of the priest's daughters, namely Abigail, was fused with the outer gods and infected the other victims..."

She brings them back to life by accusing witches of hanging them and performing mysterious rituals. To this day, in the witch ruins of Salem, that kind of spell still exists......"

After listening to Uncle Ange's words, Ye Yifan fell into thought. To bring the dead back to life, perhaps to perform some kind of ritual, to summon Yogsothothus? Or to increase the number of followers in Yogsothoth.

Perhaps the arrival of Yogsothoth this time is to carry out a remake of the Salem witch trial. After all, after returning from the Arctic, the activity of the infidels became more frequent, they wanted to cause riots, and then resurrect the dead, perform some kind of evil ritual......

"Boy, Yogsothoth is coming again, right?" While thinking, Uncle Ange suddenly asked. Ye Yifan was taken aback and asked. "Uncle Ango, how do you know?"

As soon as he said this, Ange came over with another brain twitch and shouted: "Of course Uncle Ango knows!" Didn't you plug in Arkham? How could I not know about the activities of the infidels? Otherwise, why did you come to the Necronomicon to consult it? ”

"One more thing......"

After Ango finished speaking, he took out a parchment scroll from the safe and handed it to Ye Yifan and said, "This is the spell of Dr. Henry's expulsion of the Wilbur brothers back then, I hope it will help you......"

Ye Yifan rubbed his head and took the sheepskin scroll, he couldn't understand the spell on it, but he could pronounce it, and it had some kind of power like Cthulhu's spell, but this power was bright.

Presumably this spell was the game-breaker of this incident, Ye Yifan got up and bowed to Uncle Ange: "Thank you, Uncle Ange, this has helped me a lot." ”

"Thanks, I just think you're too similar to Randolph Carter...... It's really great to spy on the unspeakable, and I hope you can go down this path, but don't lose yourself and don't be like Randolph Carter......"

Uncle Ango's expression became melancholy as he spoke, and Ye Yifan saw a trace of expectation and helplessness in his expression. He clenched the scroll in his hand and said firmly: "Don't worry, Uncle Ango, I won't get lost, and it is the courage of human beings to fight against the indescribable existence with reason." ”

Ango didn't speak, but put the Necronomicon back into the safe. Ye Yifan suddenly remembered that he still had to ask about the man in black, so he asked, "Uncle Ange, do you know that he has the same existence as Yogsotos?" As far as the outer gods are concerned, one of them seems to be a little hazy, like a fluctuating chaos....."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Ango came over with another brain twitch and said, "Do you think Uncle Ango is Jugsototh?" How do I know all the outer gods? But the outer god you're talking about is supposed to be 'Creeping Chaos', it's Randolph Carter's old rival......"

"At the same time, it is also known as the god of a thousand faces, has incarnations in the world, and even has its beliefs in ancient Egypt......"

"And what is it called? What kind of abilities do they have? Ye Yifan asked.

"I can't tell you ......"

Uncle Ange pushed his glasses, and he was also thinking about Ye Yifan inside. With his current state of san, the more he knew, the more he would only be in danger.

"Okay......." Ye Yifan sighed, this kind of thing can't be rushed, anyway, the information of Yuge Sotos has been obtained, and people should be content.

After packing up the books, Uncle Ange wiped his glasses and said, "You will stay at Mi-Mi University today and go back tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay." Ye Yifan agreed, he knew that there were many taboos in Arkham's night, and it was better not to break them easily.

Then Ange took Ye Yifan to a dormitory and told him not to run around at night, unless he wanted to be bitten to death by a dog. Ye Yifan also agreed, after all, he couldn't afford to provoke a dog that could bite a demigod to death.

Because the library of the University of U-M has a lot of forbidden knowledge, the dogs are also fierce, right? I don't know if it's a bit or a Tibetan mastiff......

Ye Yifan was lying on the bed thinking about this idlely, he felt that since Yogsotos had something to do with the witch, he should go to the witch ruins to have a look, maybe there would be clues.

The dog barking outside the house was loud and never stopped. Coupled with the fact that he couldn't dream, Ye Yifan didn't rest very well this night, and when it was dawn, he left Miskatonic University.

It was only 6 a.m., and the sky was turning from black to white, but it was a little gray. I don't know when it will start to rain, and the streets of Arkham are shrouded in a hazy cold fog, a feeling of a dark age.

Ye Yifan went to the store to buy an umbrella, and by the way, he bought a British hat of the same style as the man in black, dressed like a private detective, with a strong British style.

He was going to meet Skipp at the inn and then go to the witch ruins. Remembering that Skip hadn't eaten breakfast yet, Ye Yifan bought some food in the restaurant, and then found the hotel according to Arkham's map.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Pushing open the door of the inn, the bell made a crisp sound. The boss was wiping his wine glass on the counter, he was an old man who was over the age of six, and he didn't react much when he saw Ye Yifan come in, and he didn't seem to be very welcoming to Asians.

Ye Yifan ignored him, and went upstairs to enter Skip's room by himself, he had already gotten up at this time and was reading the materials on the desk.

"Oh, my friend, are you back?" Skip saw Ye Yifan come in and said hello.

Ye Yifan just nodded, handed the purchased food to Skip, he happily thanked Ye Yifan, and then chatted with Ye Yifan: "Miskatonic University, have you gained anything?" ”

"Fortunately, I found the answer I deserved." Saying that, Ye Yifan looked at Skip again. "Can you take me to the site of the Salem Witch today?"

"What? Suddenly interested there? Skip grinned as he buttered the bread.

"Yes, after all, it's all here, and it's a pity to go back without reading the spell carved by the witch." Ye Yifan also picked up a piece of bread and ate it.

Before I came, I thought that the Salem Witch Trial had nothing to do with Yogsothoth, but in last night's conversation, Ye Yifan thought that there was some kind of special spell there, maybe that spell was still in use, and he could find clues to solve this incident.

"Okay, without further ado, we'll go now." Skip clapped his hands, and he took the rest of the food, ready to eat it as he walked.

Ye Yifan nodded, followed Skip's footsteps out of the hotel, and the innkeeper still didn't look up, with a gloomy feeling.

The Salem Witch Ruins are located on the other side of Arkham, and re-stepping on this cursed land, Ye Yifan has a different feeling.

A sharp light rain crashed on the Miska Canal, causing ripples and a gurgling sound. The icy fog covered the buildings in the distance, and there was a sense of fear of the unknown......

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the road, but every pedestrian had a lifeless expression, no vitality, and walked forward like a walking corpse. Knowing that the cursed ruins of Salem were close by, there were no pedestrians around, and with the icy drizzle, a strange feeling of darkness arose.

"Here we are, this is the Salem ruins." Skipp pointed to the church road ahead.

Following the direction pointed by Skip, Ye Yifan saw the dilapidated church. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and huge vines climbed down the walls to the pointed roofs, which really smelled like witches.

Maybe it used to be glorious here, right? It's just that after the Salem witch case, it was abandoned, and people didn't take care of the surrounding environment, which made this church look so dilapidated.

Abigail, who was possessed by an external god, is the daughter of a priest, so it is normal to live in the church, but I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in such a sacred place......

Pushing open the door of the church, there was a heavy thud from the door, and at the same time countless dust fell, apparently no one had entered for a long time.

The interior of the church is no different from that of an ordinary church, except that the tables and chairs are old and broken after years of abandonment, and they are covered with a thick layer of moss. Weeds also grew half a meter high in the cracks of the floor tiles, and black vines grew from the ground, crawling with statues of Jesus, and there was a smell of demons wanting to degrade the gods.

The dim light shining through the broken windows did not give the church a desolate beauty, but brought a hint of evil weirdness.

This place was the starting point of the catastrophe and the place where the witches of Salem performed their evil rituals, so this church is not holy, but an unclean place defiled by evil gods.

Following the historical record, Ye Yifan and Skip came to the room where Abigail once lived. Most of the buildings here are rotten, with the stench of fermenting wood, and there is always a lingering gray feeling.

Perhaps because of the demonic possession, the windows here have been specially treated, and there is no light shining through, only the smell of darkness, weirdness, and evil......

Spotting a worn-out kerosene lamp in the church, which seemed to be still functioning, Skipp lit it, and the dim light finally made the dark room visible.

When they saw the layout of the room clearly, Ye Yifan and Skip were greatly shocked. Because they saw that the walls of the room were densely engraved with all kinds of incantations!

It didn't look like it was carved with a knife, but scratched it out alive with a fingernail, because there were still blackened and dried blood stains on the wall, which looked particularly terrifying!

As for the ground, it was a strange circle, which seemed to have been drawn in blood, so that after all 300 years, the circle was still clearly visible.

Skipp didn't think it was anything, at most he was a little hairy in his heart. But for Ye Yifan, whose San value was too low, his head was a little painful, and he seemed to see the scene of the witch holding an evil ritual 300 years ago.

Y'AI'NG'NGAH，YOG-SOTHOTH！ H'EE-L'GEB，F'AITHRODOG，UAAAHH！！！

The spell has the name of Jugsothoth, which is a sign that the Salem witch trial is connected to Yogsothoth! It is a spell that revives the dead!

In a trance, there was a howling wind, and the air was filled with a deadly stench of blood! A dark, eerie whisper murmured in his ear. The light of the kerosene lamp flickered, and finally it shone into the mouth of the room and a woman stood impressively!

It's the Salem Witch!

At this moment, Ye Yifan and Skip's hearts seemed to stop beating, and a great sense of fear came to their minds. Because that Salem witch is real, shouldn't she be hanged?!

Suddenly, Ye Yifan recited the incantation left by An Ge. A strange force flows, the surroundings return to normal, and the Salem Witch is reduced to salt powder in the wailing......

The incantation is useful and is specific to Yogsothoth. It's just that Ye Yifan is relieved, but Skipp is still in great shock.

Because the moment before the witch disappeared, Skip saw her face clearly!

"That's not the Salem Witch at all! That's my aunt, she should have died 20 years ago! Is she alive again? ”
