"You can try."
Hannah said that from the way Gu Jun looked at her, it seemed that he had tried many times, but he only got weird results.
"Okay, then I'll try." Gu Jun asked her to get out of the car, and got out of the car himself, but the car didn't turn off, he moved a stone on the side of the road and pressed it on the accelerator, and the Chevrolet seemed to be driving automatically Onward, out of Arkham, into the dim, drifting night.
When the car drove about twenty meters away, suddenly, the car disappeared, just so suddenly.
Gu Jun didn't know if he had blinked his eyes, he couldn't see or remember how the car disappeared, "Special space?"
"I don't know." Hannah's face turned cold, "Just watch, wait a little longer, and you will find out more."
Gu Jun also stood silently, paying attention to the surroundings, paying attention to the red-haired woman who was suspected of being a witch. The night wind was very cold, and everything around and in the distance, such as old buildings, roads, vegetation, etc., were floating, like rippling waves. water surface.
"It's almost time, it's almost time," said Hannah softly.
Less than half a minute after her words fell, Gu Jun suddenly heard some sounds, buzzing and buzzing. When he heard clearly that it was the background sound formed by many people talking softly, the scene he saw was also different.
He wasn't even standing, he was sitting, in a chair at one side of the dining table, with Hannah sitting across from him.
There are diners at other tables around. This is a somewhat high-end restaurant. Well-dressed waiters walk by holding the serving plates, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, you can see the night view of the street outside, and Among the vehicles parked on the side of the road was the white Chevrolet.
"Let's eat." Hannah was cutting a piece of tender steak with a knife and fork, and was cutting a small piece into her mouth. "We're here for dinner, aren't we?"
Gu Jun found that he was also holding a knife and fork in both hands, and there was also a plate of steak in front of him.
His heart pounded heavily. Before and after the change just now, he had almost no feeling at all. By the time he realized it, something had already happened.
If you want to stop it, you can't stop it at all.
"What's going on?" Gu Jun could only ask first, it doesn't look like a hallucination, nor does it seem like a dream... But such a space transformation...
Is it the handwriting of the witch in front of me... She doesn't even need spells, rituals, graphics, etc., she has such power? Because she served Nyarlathotep
"I was waiting for you to tell me," said Hannah, "the other day, when you went crazy, I read The King in Yellow, and when I realized I hadn't left Arkham, I drove out. I did, but I drove less than a hundred yards, and I found out that it turned out that I was working at a newspaper, and other people said I was working overtime there all the time."
She shrugged. "Is there something wrong with my spirit? I tried a second time, all kinds of things, but . . . Jem, look, this is something you haven't tried."
Hannah stood up suddenly. Gu Jun didn't know what she was going to do, so she raised the knife in her hand and stabbed it in the neck of the passing male waiter. The dinner plate fell to the ground with a bang, and the other diners around exclaimed.
What are you doing... Gu Jun was also startled, and reflexively shouted: "Call an ambulance! Hold her down! Stop the bleeding, is there a first aid kit? I'm a doctor!"
He got up and rushed, panic and anger welling up in his heart, he wanted to hold Hannah down, and rescue the waiter.
"Don't be nervous." Hannah smiled self-deprecatingly. "Actually, when I found out about this situation, I immediately went into my boss's office in the newspaper office and stabbed him through a few times. Then, I stabbed him again. It’s still quite depressing.”
Gu Junzheng was surprised when he heard it, and suddenly something seemed to flicker...
He found that he was still sitting at the table, and Hannah was eating steak opposite, and the male waiter walked by with the plate, but what happened just now didn't happen.
File back? Time and space chaos
"See?" Hannah put another piece of steak into her mouth, "Jem, you've tried a lot of things and found that it didn't work before you went crazy. You should try this, or go hug It’s not bad to kiss a beautiful woman.” She raised her head to signal a blond young woman at another table not far away, “That’s the one.”
Gu Jun naturally didn't listen, and looked around the still peaceful restaurant.
He noticed that the clock on the wall kept going, and the steak on Hannah's plate was also decreasing, which was different from what he encountered in the library of Nakert City.
At that time, it was like a reversal, and now, it seems that no matter what they do, they can't change a fixed development.
To get out of Arkham, to kill, to sit still, and then all of a sudden... fixed situations.
He suddenly found himself chewing on a small piece of steak, which he had cut himself.
"What do you think "The King in Yellow" is?" Hannah asked suddenly, "I mean, the "The King in Yellow" mentioned in the book "The King in Yellow."
Gu Jun pondered, in fact, it is clearly written in the book that it is a banned script, and the characters in different chapters read the same script.
As for the specific content of this script, there are only "The Song of Kasida" in the second scene of the first act written at the beginning of the book, and a few dialogues in the chapter "Mask", which seem to have happened at a party, a party, etc. Situational dialogue:
[Camila: What about you, sir, the mask needs to be taken off.
Stranger: Really
Cassida: Really, it's about time. We've all lost our pretense except you.
Stranger: I'm not wearing a mask.
Camila (shocked, whispering to Kasida): No mask? No mask!]
"Jem, you have studied this passage a lot, and I have a little new understanding." Hannah said while eating the steak, "What if the 'Stranger' really didn't wear a mask? He took off the mask long ago It’s done, but it’s written in the script that he’s wearing a mask, so what?”
Hearing this, Gu Jun felt a chill in his heart.
If a character in a script finds out that he is actually in a script and wants to not follow the story of the script, do something else.
So, can this character do what he wants? It's still the same as before, nothing will change...
In the script, it is written that Jem and Hannah had a dinner, did not leave Arkham, and did not kill anyone.
Or on the script, it says that they have tried and found that it doesn't work.
"You mean..." Gu Jun understood what Hannah meant by doing this, "We are characters from a chapter in "The King in Yellow"?"
[Jem Mazelvich went crazy after reading a book called "The King in Yellow", thinking that he was a character in one of the chapters "Plague Doctor".]
This story is a chapter of "The King in Yellow".
The "The King in Yellow" that he read in the Arkham Asylum is "The King in Yellow" in "The King in Yellow".
But he couldn't see the "The King in Yellow" that wrote Jem, just like the characters in "The Man Who Restored His Reputation", "The Mask" and "The Yellow Talisman" couldn't see the "Yellow King" that wrote them. king".
Who is reading the real "The King in Yellow"
