Mr. Joyce put the fried eggs in a bowl, cut a few more pieces of bread and fry them, and brought them to the table.

The dining table was an old wooden table next to the kitchen, and the table was mottled with grease stains and mildew in some places. Medical dogs usually have higher requirements for hygiene than others, but Gu Jun was so hungry that he drummed in his stomach, and as soon as he sat down, he ate this fried egg, the natural egg of the free-range chicken, which was quite delicious.

"What's going on?" He asked about what the old man had said earlier about the events of the previous two years in Innsmouth.

"There's very little that the outside world can know. It was the winter from the end of the previous year to the beginning of last year, and many people said it was because someone was smuggling alcohol there. But I know no, Jack has inquired about many ways to make a fortune, including this one, and no one in Innsmouth sells moonshine. ”

Mr. Joyce was dismissive of this statement, "There were a lot of arrests, but no one knew where they were taken, there was no news of the trial, there was almost no news, there were some groups protesting, but they were quickly suppressed by the federal government." There's definitely something going on there. ”

Gu Jun frowned silently, could it be an FBM operation against Innsmouth......

In his home world, there is no such thing as Innsmouth, and FBM has never done anything about it.

But it doesn't seem to be the same here, it sounds like the government has taken away a lot of evil cultists and alien creatures in one go.

"I just want justice." Mr. Joyce nibbled on bread, his voice muffled, as if he was a little choked, "I went to the police and asked, but no one paid attention to me, I went to the media and no one paid attention to me." My old friends, either think I'm crazy or just don't want to get in trouble. ”

"Perhaps, old sir." Gu Jun said, "Maybe I can investigate it for you." ”

"Oh?" Mr. Joyce's eyes lit up.

Gu Jun thought that he had to use a more convincing statement that was suitable for his identity, so he said: "I just came to this country, and I need to find some work and make some money." I can help you go to Innsmouth to investigate, I'm an Oriental, maybe I can get in. ”

"Mr. Gu, you can definitely get in!" In fact, Mr. Joyce had already thought about this idea, so his tone was excited: "You can pretend to be a Dagon!" ”

"Yes, but I need to know more first." Gu Jun nodded, "I want to know, have there been any rumors about witches in Innsmouth?" ”

In this place, if you talk about witches two hundred years earlier, you will be convicted of witches in a few minutes, and you will be judged.

"Witch ......," said Mr. Joyce, glaring with some amusement, "let's put it this way, we have everything about witches here. Old John's house didn't have a few eggs, and they were stolen by a witch, right? Old Carter's dog always barks at night, that's when he sees a witch, right? And so on. ”

The old man swallowed the bread as he spoke, choking a little, "You see, maybe the witch is eavesdropping on us now, causing me to choke." ”

Gu Jun's heart was cold, looking at the reflection of the old gentleman in the light, and the sky outside was already dark......

He knows that it is not impossible to have this possibility, the "shadow" that Xiao Kedou said.

"Witches, witches, I've been callousing since I was a child." Mr. Joyce disagreed, "Innsmouth, of course there are witch legends in that place. But I've inquired, and it has nothing to do with the Dagon. Rather, in Arkham, there is a 'witch's house'. ”

Gu Jun was surprised, "Arkham", when he heard the name of this place just now, he thought it was just an ordinary place, but now that it sounds, it doesn't seem to be simple?

"Arkham?" He asked.

"Arkham is one of the few cities in our city, sort of." "It's also full of weird legends. One of them has something to do with witches, and I'll have to tell you about the witch case in Salem first. ”

Gu Jun had actually heard of it before, but he still listened to the old gentleman at the moment, after all, the situation of the case here may be different.

But it still seemed to him to be the same, and that was it, the Salem Witch Trials.

It was more than 200 years before 1929, and in Salem, Massachusetts, the daughter of a pastor had a strange illness, followed by symptoms from several girls with whom she usually played, and then some other girls in the town.

"They would scream, sometimes their bodies would twitch, they would go crazy, they would make strange noises like incantations."

Mr. Joyce said of the history that could not be verified, "and no one knew why, and the doctors couldn't explain it." ”

Gu Jun was silent, in the medical community, Salem's incident is also a historical mystery.

Tourette's disease? At least not the ordinary kind, because the disease is not contagious and does not cause delirium. There is a hypothesis that "ergot disease" is caused by ingesting rye parasitic with the fungus "ergot", but it does not explain why it is always a girl who gets sick in the first place.

As a result of the plague, almost everyone in the town of Salem at the time was accused of being either a witch or a witch.

As a result, the old man said, hundreds of people were imprisoned and tortured, and dozens were hanged, stoned, burned, etc.

"One of the witches at that time, Kazia Mason." "Somehow, the witch escaped from Salem prison and disappeared so suddenly!" The jailer at the time went crazy and said that he saw Kezia Mason open up space with curves, folded corners, etc......"

Speaking of this, the old man felt absurd even if he was half-convinced of the evil force.

In the old man's opinion, those Dagon heretics did not have any superhuman abilities, and the sacrifices they engaged in were just ordinary evil acts.

And these witch legends are even more so, but they are just added to the oil and vinegar by later generations, and they are far-fetched.

If Mr. Joyce believed that there really was a demon, he would not have a good look at the Oriental boy in front of him.

But Gu Jun became more and more chilled when he heard it, and they couldn't figure out what power the witch phantom came out of the corner according to what Xiao Kedou said......

Now, he knew very well that this kind of space-traveling thing was not just a legend, but he didn't know if "Kezia Mason" had anything to do with it.

"Anyway, the old house where Kezia Mason lived is in Arkham." "It's said that there's a lot of weirdness there, too, and people don't want to get close to it." ”

Gu Jun suddenly had another thought, he came to this time and space......

Could it be that Arkham is a more important place than Innsmouth? Could there be any important clues to that "witch's house"?

Could Kezia Mason be the witch, or could it be a thousand faces?

Just as Gu Jun was pondering, several dogs outside the house suddenly barked violently, and a noise came from a distance.

"Old Jos, you old bastard, someone saw you bring that infidels home!"

"You damn old thing, hand over that Oriental, do you want to kill us, like you did to Jack!"

"Get out of here, you brut!"

With a loud scolding, the screams of the dogs suddenly sounded, and the dogs were obviously beaten, and immediately ran away, and the barking became even more terrible.

"Damn it, damn it......" Mr. Joyce put down his bread and stood up, his beard trembling with rage, "the barbarians are coming, damn it!" ”
