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

The dining table is an old wooden table beside the kitchen. The table is covered with mottled oil stains, and some places have mold spots. Medical dogs usually have higher hygiene requirements than others, but Gu Jun is so hungry that he plays drums and eats this fried egg. The natural eggs of the chicken are quite delicious.

"What's going on?" He asked the old man about the events of Insmouth two years ago.

"The outside world knows very little. From the end of the previous year to the winter of last year, many people said it was because there were people smuggling alcohol. But I know no, Jack has inquired about many ways to get rich, including this. People sell private wine. "

Mr. Joyce was very disdainful about this statement, "That time, many people were arrested, but no one knew where they were taken. There was no news of the trial, there was almost no news, and some groups protested, but It was soon suppressed by the federal government. There was definitely something wrong there. "

Gu Jun frowned silently, would it be FBM's action against Insmouth ...

In his hometown world, there is no such place as Insmouth, and FBM has never taken any action in this regard.

But it seems different here. It sounds like the government has taken away many evil believers and alien creatures in one go.

"I just wanted to be fair." Mr. Joyce gnawed the bread, his voice was muffled, like a little choked, "I went to the police to ask, no one ignored me, I went to the media to ask, and no one ignored Me. My old friends either think I am crazy or just do not want to cause trouble. "

"Old gentleman, maybe." Gu Jun said, "maybe I can investigate it for you."

"Oh?" Mr. Joyce opened his eyes.

Gu Jun wanted to use a more persuasive statement, suitable for his identity, and said: "I came to this country, I need to find some work and earn some money. I can help you go to Insmouth While investigating, I ’m an Oriental, maybe I can mix in. "

"Mr. Gu, you must be able to mix in!" In fact, Mr. Joyce had thought of this idea, so the tone was excited: "You can pretend to be a Dagonist!"

"Yes, but I need to know more about it." Gu Jun nodded. "I want to know, have any rumors about Witches in Insmouth?"

In this place, talking about the witch discoloration, if it were two hundred years earlier, in this way, the witch was privately accused of witchcraft in minutes, and the accusation of witchcraft in minutes was also subject to trial.

"Witches ..." Mr. Joyce glared a little funnyly: "So, we have nothing to do with witches here. The old John's house didn't have a few eggs. Was the witch stole it? Old Carter's. The dog always barks at night, is that the sight of the witch? Is that sort of thing. "

The old man swallowed the bread while talking, "It's choking," Look, maybe the witch is overhearing us and hurting me. "

Gu Jun was cold, looking at the reflection of the old man under the light, and the sky outside was already dark ...

He knew that it was not without this possibility, the "shadow" Xiao Kedou said.

"Witches, witches, I have heard ears and cocoons since I was a child." Mr. Joyce disagreed. "Insmouth, of course, there are legends of witches there. But I have inquired. It has nothing to do with Dagonism. Arkham, there is a 'Witch House'. "

Gu Jun was surprised. "Arkham". He heard this place name just now. He thought it was just an ordinary place, but now it sounds not easy?

"Arkham?" He asked.

"Arkham is our rare city, be it." Mr. Joyce said. "There are also all kinds of weird legends. One of them is related to witches. I have to talk to you about that year. The witch case in Salem. "

Gu Jun has actually heard of it before, but now he still listens to the old gentleman. After all, the situation here may be different.

But he seemed to be the same. It was this matter, the Salem Witch Trial.

It was more than two hundred years since 1929. In Salem, Massachusetts, the daughter of a priest suddenly had a strange disease. Later, several girls who usually played with her also had symptoms, and then the town Some other girls also got sick.

"They will scream, sometimes their bodies twitch, their minds will go crazy, and they will make strange noises like mantras."

Mr. Joyce said about the history that could not be verified. "At that time, no one knew why, and the doctor couldn't explain it."

Gu Jun is silent. In the medical world, Salem is also a historical mystery.

Tourette syndrome? At least it is not ordinary, because the disease is not contagious and will not cause delirium. There is a hypothesis that "ergot disease" is caused by ergot poisoning caused by eating rye parasitized by the fungus "ergot bacteria", but it is impossible to explain why girls started to get sick at first.

Because of this plague, almost everyone in the town of Salem was accused of being a witch or a witch-wielder.

The old man said that this caused hundreds of people to be imprisoned and tortured, dozens of people were hanged, stoned and burnt.

"One of the witches at the time, Kezia-Mason." Mr. Joyce said again, "I don't know what happened later, this witch escaped from Salem prison, then disappeared so suddenly! The jailer at that time Going crazy, saying that seeing Kai Zia Mason opened the space with curves, angles, etc ... "

Speaking of which, the old man feels ridiculous even if he doubts the evil forces.

In the old man's view, those Dagons and pagans had no skill beyond mortals, and the sacrifices performed were just ordinary sinful acts.

This is even more true of these witch legends, but it is just a matter of succession for the future generations.

If Mr. Joyce believes that there is really a demon, then he would not have a good look at the young man in front of him.

But Gu Jun became more chilled. They couldn't figure it out. According to Xiao Kedou, what power did the phantom of the witch come out of the corner ...

Now, he is well aware that this kind of thing that goes through space is not just a legend, but only knows whether "Keja Mason" has anything to do with it.

"Anyway, the old house where Kezia-Mason has lived is in Arkham." Mr. Joyce said, "It is said that there are also many strange things, and everyone does not want to be close."

Gu Jun suddenly had another idea ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ He came to this time and space ...

Could it be that Arkham is more important than Insmouth? Will there be any important clues in that "House of Witches"?

Is Kezia Mason the witch, or is there a thousand faces?

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

"Old Jos, you old bastard, someone saw you take the pagan home!"

"You **** old thing, hand over the Oriental, do you want to kill us, like killing Jack!"

"Go away, you beast!"

With a loud curse, the screams of the dogs suddenly sounded, and the dogs were obviously beaten. They fled away suddenly, and the barking became worse.

"Damn, **** ..." Mr. Joyce put down the bread in his hand and stood up, his beard shaking with anger, "The barbarians are here, **** it!"
