Plague Doctor

Boom, boom, boom, a book scattered across the floor, and the shelf was empty.

Gu Jun now saw the back of the bookshelf, which was supposed to be one wall, but what he saw seemed to be another space, distorted, sticky, weird, those different substances, only some of which could be understood. Just as his heart moved, he heard a shock: "What are you doing? ”

In that moment, everything was fixed again.

Gu Jun had already restarted on the shelf, and books just scattered back on the shelf.

“Dr. Armitic.” Hannah didn't think of Gu Jun's behavior. She was looking at a figure who was walking fast not far away.

That's the director of the library, Dr. George Amitsch, Ph.D. in History at the University of Miskatonik, Ph.D. in Literature at Cambridge University, and Ph.D. in Linguistics at Princeton University. That usually comes from a peaceful face, which is a bit of a panic and a mess of footsteps.

Gu Jun measured the old man, his hair was half white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he wore a pair of black framed glasses.

“James.” Dr. Amitić knew Jem Mazerwich, "what just happened, don't do it randomly. ”

“Doctor, have you read King Yellow?” Gu Jun asked, “You're crazy and you're sober. ”

Dr. Armitage sighed, "Come with me. ”

Gu Jun and Hannah followed, and Dr. Amitich walked in the direction of the third staircase. The surrounding students still studied quietly.

Although these people will not hear, and even if they do, they will not be impressed by the subsequent amendments, Dr. Amitić remains quiet, silent on the way, walks very lightly, and keeps the two of them in order. Soon after, they arrived on the third floor of the library and no corrections were made.

Gu Jun and Hannah have tried before, and if they are in a different place and situation than the script, they will be corrected.

But the words they say can be spoken by themselves and remembered.

Now, apparently, the scenario is that they followed Dr. Amitić to the third floor of the library to talk.

It will not be corrected as long as it does not detach from this scenario.

By the third floor, the silence was even worse, and there were few students on this floor. Dr Amitich took two people to his curator's office, where ancient colors, furniture, utensils and decorations are old fashioned styles, if not air-conditioning, computers, etc., say this is the nineteenth century.

The doctor poured a cup of tea for each of them and a cup for himself.

“Jim, Hannah, I don't know if I'm real or projective, or what. ”

Dr. Armitic sipped the cup slowly, "Until then, I always thought something was just a legend. ”

“Doctor, since you understand the situation.” Gu Jundo, “can I see the book" King of Yellow Clothes "? I might be able to find some clues. ”

“Don't worry, I don't think King Yellow is the key.” Dr Amitić said, "I didn't realize it a few days ago. But now I need to think back to some of my specific things, all of them vague and blank. I do understand that this is another dimension, another space, that we are people in the play, dominated by greater power. But I remember the same thing, all the dimensions and the space thing, it's all about it. ”

Gu Jun listened patiently and judged the veracity of this doctoral discourse.

And Hannah next to him, much more patient than he is, seems to have put tea on.

“My grandfather, Henry Armitage.” The wrinkles on his forehead were deeply wrinkled, "the Doctor continued," when he was not a curator or an administrator, centuries away. One day, a strange young man came to the library, dressed in shabby clothes, very tall, looking like a goat, from the nearby town of Dunwedge, called Wilbur Vitley. ”

The doctor said it was calm, but in the tone, there was a slight twist on weirdness.

“Wilbur Witley came with an ancient book, The Book of the Dead, by Abdullah Al-Hassad, the Arab lunatic, who said his grandfather had passed it on to him, an English translation, to borrow the Latin translation of The Book of the Dead in the transcript library and, by contrast, to find a missing paragraph in one of his pages. ”

Gu Jun, listen to me. The Book of the Dead?

He first heard the book from Sheba, and the Lysen connoisseurs used one of the words to seduce them.

In the astronomical world, the Book of the Dead is also an ancient book, written by an Arab lunatic, but it is an ancient legend that no one has ever really found.

Only a few of the fragmented sentences, which are called contents of the book, are passed around.

Later, with permissions, Gu Jun read all those sentences through the database of the Sky Machinery Bureau. There was no dark power, there were motto words, there were strange crazy words, and there seemed to be some unknown ceremonial prayer words, but then the spell department studied none of them.

Now, Gu Jun suddenly heard the Book of the Dead, and there are many translations. Was it originally in the Massachusetts world...

Dr Armitic added that his grandfather, out of a strange concern for Wilbur-Vitley, had not promised him to take the Book of the Dead, but that Wilbur had later arrived at the University of Cambridge Library in England to complete his purpose.

Although there are many translations of the Book of the Necromancer in the world, there is no Arabic original.

Large or Cambridge, I don't even know how many copies I have. Some of these transcripts will be lost in the process of being copied, while others will be artificially hidden and deleted by the author.

That's why the young man Wilbur Whitley borrowed different versions everywhere to replenish the one in his hand.

“My grandfather, at the time, didn't know where Wilbur Vitley really came from.” Dr Amitich's words were a little low, "but he saw the page reproduced by Wilbur, knowing that he wanted to perform some ritual, to touch a force that could drag the whole world into the abyss. ”

“I also listened to my father, and then something terrible happened. ”

Old Boston spoke and drank a sip of tea, but his voice grew softer:

“Wilbur Vitley became something of a half-man, or that's who he really is. He tried to steal the Book of the Dead from the library, but eventually died here and became a pile of filthy flesh that smelled bad. However, he also had a twin brother, more like a monster than he, who wandered around Dunwich, killing and destroying, ready to perform the ritual that their brothers had long been ready for.

My grandfather, along with two other major professors, stopped the ceremony and ended the lives of the Wilbur brothers. But I also saw things that ordinary people would never see... my grandfather was almost forever insane, fortunate to be able to recover his mind, and then spent the rest of his life studying and stopping that power... "

Speaking of which, Dr. Ametich's face seemed a little bitter, whether the tea was too bitter or because of other moods.

Gu Jun listened to this, a lot of hearts are turning, “Doctor, what is the direct relationship between this incident and our current situation? ”

“That power!” The old Doctor suddenly spoke up, and a pair of old men were even bigger, "Wilbur Vitley tried to reach out to that power, also the father of their brother, which could break any spatial and temporal dilemma. ”

Father? Gu Junton shrugged, “Are you saying that the Vitley brothers are a combination of human and dark forces?” Hannah next to her changed her face.

This is the first time he's ever heard of anything but other races, or humans turning into ghosts, deep divers.

Because of reproductive segregation, it's always there.

“The body of the demigod.” The old Doctor calmed down, "the Vitley brothers weren't fully grown and very young, so my grandfather and they won. ”

At this point, the Doctor pulled out a drawer at the desk and found a page of paper filled with dense numbness.

The old doctor handed this page to Gu Jun. He took it and saw it. It was bilingual, English and Latin. The old doctor's eyes grew stranger and stranger, saying, "This is the page Wilbur Vitley was looking for, and I retrieved it from the Book of the Dead based on what my grandfather left behind. ”

So the Book of the Dead is not a blank book in this library.

Gu Jun frowned and looked at the book paper in his hand. It looked like he was seeing Chinese. The more he looked at his heart, the more confused and tightened:

[We cannot assume that humankind is the oldest and ultimate master of the planet, nor can we assume that ordinary life and matter will be left alone.

Old day rulers are here, old day rulers are here, and old day rulers are there in the future. Old day rulers are not in the space we know, but between the spaces. The rulers of the old days walk silently and without interest at the beginning of time, not bound by dimension, not seen by us.

Jude Sotos knows the door. Jug-Sotos is the door. Jug-Sotos is the key to the door and the escort. The past, the present, the future, in Jug-Sotos are all one. He knows where old rulers have broken in and where they will break in again. He knows where old rulers have trampled the ground, where they will trample, and why no one can see them when they trample.

Through their scents, one can sometimes know their proximity, but one cannot see their image and can only understand a little from the way they make human descendants appear. These children are diverse, ranging from the truest fantasies of humankind to the fact that they are as invisible and immaterial as themselves, and forests are always different. They pass only at certain times, in isolation from the speech spoken and the ritual of the call sign, blind and corrupt.

The wind recites their voices, and the earth murmurs their consciousness. They bend forests and crush cities, but neither forests nor cities can see the hands of disaster. Kadas knew about them in the cold ruins, but who knew about Kadas? Antarctic ice sheets and sunken islands have stone columns stamped with their seals, but who has seen the ice-covered city and the sealed giant towers covered with seagrass and vine pots? The great Khuru was their cousin, but it also looked at them vaguely.

Saab Nicholas! You're filthy, you should know them. Their hands strangle your throat, and you still can't see them. They live right outside your locked door. Jug-Sotos is the key to the door, which exists at the junction of the ball world. They have ruled the land of man, and they will reign the land of man now.

Summer is followed by winter and winter by summer. They wait patiently because they will eventually regain control of the place.
