This World, April 8, 2022.

There should be technology, mobile phones, computers, the Internet, ...... It's a modern world.

Gu Jun sat in the back seat of this Buick sedan, looking through the window at this old New England-style town.

Arkham was built along the banks of the Miskatonik River, which can be divided into north and south by two banks, connected by three bridges.

On both sides of the river are old-era buildings with folded roofs, moss-covered gabled roofs, and green meadows scattered like rocks. It's a small town, but it has all kinds of facilities, including the University of Michigan, a psychiatric hospital, several hospitals, churches, prisons, theaters, and so on.

There are several major newspapers, "Arkham Gazette", "Arkham Advertising Man", and Hannah Mazelvich's "Arkham Honest Man" is only at the bottom of the list, and in recent years, it has been hit by the impact of new online media, these traditional newspapers are very difficult, Hannah should not be so busy.

When it comes to the history of Arkham, like the surrounding Salem, Cheektown, and Innsmouth, you can't avoid the witch trial.

Before that, Gu Jun took back "his" mobile phone, Jem's mobile phone, and he didn't find any special information in the mobile phone.

It's just that through pictures, documents, etc., I have a better understanding of the current identity.

Then, he used this mobile phone to check the Internet, and this Arkham has the so-called "witch's house", 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 17th-century man who lived in the family's big house, was caught for witchcrafting, and then opened the door to space in the prison, and disappeared with her cat and ghost, and the jailer who witnessed it was stunned.

Gu Jun first heard about the legend of this witch from Old Man Joyce in Cheektown, the Massachusetts world in the early 20th century.

At that time, he heard that there was no part of the cat and the ghost.

But here, in the modern version of the world of Massachusetts in the 21st century, the details of the legend have changed a little, and the changes they caused.

The "House of the Witches" is one of Arkham's more popular attractions.

Years ago, the old house was bought by a merchant and renovated into a witch-themed mystery hotel. Visitors can stay in the room where the witch once lived, and see the occult carvings, spells, and more left by the witch herself.

But Gu Jun found a report on the Internet, saying that those occult things were just marketing that merchants made later, and in fact they were full of loopholes.

On the hotel review website, the rating of the witch's house is very low, only 3.1 points on a 5-point scale, the service attitude is not good, the room is dirty, the WiFi signal is not good, sometimes there is a problem with the hot water supply, the most bad review is that I stayed there for one night, and I didn't encounter anything supernatural at all.

Still, the House of the Witches is visited every day, with young tourists going there in search of thrills.

Gu Jun looked at these comments and felt quite strange.

He'd been to Cheektown, he'd been to Arkham Prison in 1692, and he knew how wild it was in the old days, and he knew that there were strange things here.

Only now, it seems that all the frightening darkness has dissipated, and the witch's house is open to laughter and scolding by people who have never seen real darkness.

Arkham Psychiatric Hospital is located on the outskirts of the northern part of town, while Mazelvich's home is located in a neighborhood in the south, where they run a small supermarket.

So on this trip, the car crossed the Miskatonik River, and Gu Jun saw that there were boats coming and going on the spacious river, tourists walking on the riverbank, and a large flock of white pigeons flying, a peaceful scene.

But for some reason, he always felt that the faces of those tourists were a little fake.

The car crossed the river and arrived at the community on Hegt Road, which is also a house with a folded roof, with a green garden lawn in front of it.

In the end, the car stopped in front of a two-story mansion, Sanders had already gotten out of the car and left, and Bob and Janet took Gu Jun down.

"Jem, welcome home." Bobler's smile is very relatable.

Gu Jun observed all the way, got out of the car, walked up to the porch, entered the house, and 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 asks about the story behind each photograph.

"This is your piano performance at your sophomore celebration." Bob pointed to a picture of Jem playing the piano on stage, and said it with pride in his words.

Gu Jun can't play the piano and has never learned, 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 is also proud of his daughter, "She has a good work ability, and the newspaper will give her everything." ”

Gu Jun listened first, saying that he wanted to be alone for a while, so Bob and Janet went to the kitchen to make dinner.

He really went back to his house, walked around casually, and went up to the second floor, and entered Jem's room, the door was half-open, obviously the boy's room. Regardless of whether there was hidden surveillance or not, he immediately rummaged through the cabinets and entered the NPC's house as if playing a game.

Jem Mazelvich is a medical dog, and the American medical dog is also a medical dog, with skeletal models, surgical suture exercises, and other things on the desk.

Gu Jun looked at it and felt a little nostalgic, and he also remembered his Carlop equipment again, and now he didn't know where it was.

He rummaged through a lot of Jem's belongings, but in the case of "The King in Yellow", it was still like a blank sheet of paper, and nothing could be found.

"How is that possible?" Gu Jun frowned and thought, there is also a process of acute madness.

Sanders said that half a month before April Fool's Day, Jem was talking about "The King in Yellow", and Jem should have read it earlier.

The medical dog has a peculiarity of doing a lot of notes, notes, notes, and notes! Draw lines, draw pictures, mind maps, all kinds.

If you don't take notes, you can't memorize without reviewing.

He saw some of Jem's notes on his desk, which were also extremely meticulous and excellent.

Such a person, since he is so interested in "Gu Jun", and even more doubtful that he is "Gu Jun", he should want to clarify the story one by one, right?

Especially in the locust chapter, several worlds are intertwined, different time and space are intertwined, so many clues, at least make a mind map.

Is it in the school dormitory? But on April Fool's Day, Jem was at home and his backpack was in this room.

Gu Jun had an idea, could it be that Jem had actually done it, and even had a lot of notes, but it was just ...... The documents were taken.

He thought as he walked out of the room and looked at another room at the end of the hallway, Hannah's room.

Maybe that's the real witch's house.

Since I'm Jem, it's normal to go into my sister's room and have a look.

Gu Jun walked over casually, held the handle of the door and pushed it, it was not locked, and it could be opened.
