Plague Doctor

The world, April 8, 2022.

There should be technology, mobile phones, computers, the internet… this is a modern world.

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

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

On both sides of the river are old era buildings with folding roofs, mossy hill roofs, and green meadows scattered like rocks. Although it is a small town, it is well equipped and dense, with several hospitals in addition to psychiatric hospitals, churches, prisons, theatres, etc.

There are several major newspapers here, the Akham Gazette, the Akham Advertiser, and Hannah Mazelvic's "Akham Honest People", which is only behind it and has been hit by new online media in recent years. These traditional newspapers are difficult to sustain and Hannah shouldn't be so busy.

Speaking of Arkham's history, like the surrounding Salem, Chicktown, and Innsmouth, we can't get around that witch trial.

Until then, Gu Jun took back his cell phone, Jim's phone, and he didn't find anything special in it.

Only through pictures, documents, etc., we know more about this identity now.

And then he went online with this phone, and this Arkham had what he called a "witch house," where Kezia-Mason used to live.

Here, Kezia-Mason is not only a character in King Yellow, but also a historical figure. She was from the 17th century and lived in the big house of the family, because the witch was caught and then opened the door to space in prison, disappearing with her creepy cat and ghost, when the prison guard who witnessed her was frightened.

Gu Jun first heard the legend of this witch from old Joyce in Chicktown, the world of Massachusetts in the early 20th century.

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

But here, in the modern version of the world of Massachusetts in the 21st century, the legendary details have changed a bit, and they've changed.

The Witch House is one of Arkham's more popular attractions.

As early as many years ago, the old big house was bought by the businessman and redecorated into a witch-themed hotel. Travelers can stay in the room the witch once lived in and see mystical sculptures, spells, etc. left by the witch herself.

But Gu Jun found a story online that said that all the mythical things were marketing made by the merchants. In fact, there were many loopholes.

On the hotel review website, Witch House scored very low, with only 3.1 out of 5, poor service attitude, dirty rooms, poor WiFi signals, and sometimes problems with hot water supply. The worst rating was that there was nothing supernatural about staying there overnight.

Nevertheless, the Witch House is visited daily by young tourists looking for excitement.

Looking at these comments, Gu Jun felt strange.

He went to Chicktown, to Acham Prison in 1692, to know how barbaric this place was in the old days and how strange it really was.

Only now, it seems that all the terrifying darkness has dissipated, and the House of Witches has allowed those who have never seen true darkness to laugh and scold.

The Akham Psychiatric Hospital is located on the outskirts of the northern part of the town, while the Mazelvic family is located in a community in the south, where the small supermarket operates.

So on this journey, the car crossed the Miskatonik River. Gu Jun saw a boat crossing the river like the sea. There were tourists walking along the bank of the river, a large group of doves flying, a peaceful scene.

But somehow, he always felt that the faces of the travelers were a little false.

The car crossed the river to the neighborhood of Hector Road, a house on a folding roof with a green garden lawn in front.

Finally, the car was parked in front of a two-storey house. Saunders had already gotten out of the car and Bob and Janet went down with Gu Jun.

“Welcome home, Jim.” Bob Happy smile, very affectionate.

Gu Jun observed along the way, got out of the car, walked to the porch, entered the house, saw some pictures on the wall not far from the door, each of them seemed to confirm the existence of James. In the name of amnesia, he asks the story behind each photograph.

“This is your piano performance at the junior high celebration.” Bob was quite proud to point to a photograph of James playing the piano on stage.

Gu Jun can't play the piano, never learned, but he knows who can play, Mozart, Xiaoli and other girls...

“When's Hannah coming back?” He asked that it was almost evening.

“She's not off work yet, is she?” Bob was also proud to speak of his daughter, "she was able to work and the newspaper left everything to her. ”

Gu Jun first listened and said that if he wanted to be alone for a while, Bob and Janet went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

He really went back to his house, walked around, walked up to the second floor, went into James's room, the door was semi-opened, obviously the boys' room. With or without hidden surveillance, he immediately flipped the case backwards, like playing a game into NPC's house.

James Mazerwich is a medical dog and an American medical dog with skeletal models, surgical stitching exercisers and other things on his desk.

Gu Jun looked a little nostalgic and remembered his callup devices again. I don't even know where they left them now.

He flipped through a lot of James' stuff, but still looked like a piece of blank paper and couldn't find anything about King Yellow.

“How is that possible?” Gu Jun frowned and thought, acute madness also has a process.

Saunders said James was talking about King Yellow, half a month before Fool's Day, and James should have read it sooner.

Medical dogs have a feature that makes a lot of notes, notes, notes, or notes! Draw lines, draw drawings, think guides, all kinds.

I can't even remember without taking notes or reviewing recitations.

He saw some of Jim's notes on his desk, and he did an extremely fine job.

Such a person, since he is so interested in “Gu Jun” and more suspicious of himself as “Gu Jun”, should want to clear up the story?

Especially locusts, a few worlds interwoven, different space-time staggers, so many clues, at least a thought map.

Is it in the school dorm? But James was home the day Fool's Day went crazy, and his backpack was in this room.

Gu Jun had an idea, would it be true that James had done it, and even had a lot of notes, but... the documents were taken?

He thought, walking out of this room, looking at the other room at the end of the hallway, Hannah's room.

Maybe that's the real house of witches.

Since I'm James, it's perfectly normal to go into my sister's room.

Gu Junman walked by surprise. He shoved the handle of the door, unlocked it and could open it.
