This is not the real Arkham, Gu Jun can already confirm this, this is just a book world.
When he was still in the restaurant, he suddenly uttered the prayer that can fight against chaos, he uttered the words to summon the Little Night Dire, he uttered the words to summon the Different Banyan Tree, and he called out the old seal...
Nothing works, no reaction at all.
In this world, he has no access to other mysterious powers, and this place is firmly controlled by the power of words.
Hannah was the only one who could remember his crazy behaviors. This guy seemed to have really lost his memory, and he didn't know any spells.
Now there is another question, where is Yu Chi, and is he here too
Gu Jun thought that since he, Xian Yu and the witch were not dead, Yu Chi should have survived.
Although Arkham is a small town, the place is not small. On the way Hannah drove to the Miskatonic University on the bank of the western river, Gu Jun saw more houses and more residents. Hannah didn't know exactly how many people here had names, but as far as she could count, there were only seven.
She shouldn't only know so many people. It's impossible for her classmates to only know so many people. There are also a long list of contacts in the phone's address book.
But Gu Jun has also read it. Most of the contact information is vague, and the more you look at it, the more floating. These people do not appear in the script.
Among the seven named people, there is Dr. George Armitage, the librarian of the University of Michigan. He is sixty years old, knowledgeable, approachable, and full of charming self-cultivation and demeanor. The old man loved by UM students.
In Massachusetts, the Armitages were one of those families known as "oldgentry," the upper class of the New World for hundreds of years.
George Armitage's grandfather, Henry Armitage, also served as the director of the library at the University of Michigan, and his father was also a member of the school board.
Therefore, when it comes to the University of Michigan Library, the Armitage family is inseparable. The contribution of this family to this library is indeed unmatched by others.
Normally, as long as he was in Arkham, Dr. Armitage would appear in the library every day, and students could easily see him.
The last time Hannah saw the old man was when she borrowed "The King in Yellow". It seems that Dr. Armitage also read this book later.
Gu Jun would not despise this person, not just because of George Armitage's name and detailed background.
There is also a well-known reason that librarians are not usually around for nothing. This Dr. Armitage is definitely not simple.
The dark night shrouded the campus. Miskatonic University is located on both sides of the diversion of this river, connected by a small stone bridge. The style of each building is earlier than the Victorian period. The building stands there, like an ancient castle.
This university is almost as old as Arkham.
The car was driving on the roads around the campus, there were not many passers-by, even if there were, it looked like a walking dead, which made Gu Jun feel even colder in his heart.
After coming out of the restaurant until now, there has been no scene modification. It seems that in the script, they will come here.
Passing through a secluded forest, the car stopped at a temporary roadside parking space not far outside the library. The street lights in the shape of old kerosene lamps gave off a hazy light, and the inexplicable night fog gave the place some charm of the old times. Beautiful, and weird.
Gu Jun looked at the library in front of him. Naturally, it was not as grand as the library in Naket City, but it had its uniqueness.
The three-storey cathedral-like building occupies a wide area, and its pointed dome is connected with the night clouds. The lights in the library were brightly lit. It was only after nine o'clock in the evening, and there were still a large number of students studying in it. Moreover, the library was open all night from Monday to Friday.
The library is a quiet place, and quietness is the order of this place.
However, at this time, it was very quiet, and Gu Jun could hear the sound of the river flowing farther away.
There was also a distant dog barking from an unknown direction, barking fiercely.
"Can you hear the dog barking?" Gu Jun asked Hannah who also got out of the car, not sure if it was his auditory hallucination.
"Of course." Hannah nodded, not paying much attention, "There are dogs everywhere, from the school, stray dogs, everywhere."
Gu Jun glanced around again, yes, there are also medical dogs and archaeological dogs.
"Looks like we've come to the right place." Hannah walked towards the library gate, followed by Gu Jun, who walked up a long stone-built staircase.
Before going in, the two showed to the guard at the door that they were students and graduates of the University of Michigan, and the guard let them pass without saying anything.
Entering the lobby on the first floor inside, Gu Jun saw classical and generous tables placed in front of him. Students sat around the tables, reading books, tapping on laptops, and writing notes. All of them... are people who are hardworking or fail to study.
The bookshelves placed against the walls all around are also as high as the roof, and they are filled with volumes of books, including an unknown amount of knowledge.
However, when Gu Jun walked past those generous tables, he glanced at the books and notes spread out by the students on the table.
The students were fascinated by each of them, but the pages of the book were all blank, and as one page turned after another, they were all just blank background props...
Gu Jun suddenly felt restless, even if it is a prop, shouldn’t some words be written on it, so that it looks authentic and believable...
When he thinks this way, the things he sees change. There are some words floating vaguely on it, writhing like bugs. Fill the scene with some ink.
"More than you can touch, you can see what you want to see." Hannah said as she walked by.
Is Dr. Armitage in the library now? Although the doctor comes here every day, he doesn't live here.
No matter what, Hannah took Gu Jun through the lobby on the first floor and went straight to the second floor, where there were fewer desks and more bookshelves. The collection of books in the library is graded. The most precious and least accessible books are on the third floor with guards, and the book "The King in Yellow" was placed on the second floor before.
Gu Jun walked all the way, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
He never trusted Hannah completely, nor did he intend to let her guide everything.
After coming out of the restaurant, Gu Jun hadn’t tried to challenge the script yet. Gu Jun’s heart fluttered, and he suddenly pounced on the long bookshelf against the wall to one side, and pulled the books off the shelf with both hands frantically. They are all, some are scattered, and the inside is also blank.
At the same time, the dog barking that Gu Jun heard was closer, fiercer, and clearer...
