Plague Doctor

This is not the real Arkham, Gu Jun can already confirm this, this is just a world in a book.

While he was still in the restaurant, he suddenly uttered the prayer that could fight against chaos, summon the little night dire, summon the strange banyan tree, and create the old seal...

All to no avail, no response at all.

In this world, he has no access to other mysterious powers. This place is firmly controlled by the power of words.

Only Hannah can remember his seemingly crazy behavior. This guy seems to have really lost his memory and doesn't understand any spells.

Now there is another question, where is Yu Chi, is he here too?

Gu Jun thought that since he, Xian Yu and the witch were not dead, Yu Chi should also survive.

Although Arkham is a small town, it is not small. As Hannah drove to Miskatonic University on the west bank of the river, Gu Jun saw more houses and more residents. Hannah didn't know exactly how many people had names here, but she could count only seven.

She shouldn't only know this few people. She can't just have this few classmates. There is also a long list of contacts in the address book on her phone.

But Gu Jun had also read it, and most of the contact information was vague, and the more he looked at it, the more it seemed to float. These people did not appear in the script.

Among the seven named people, one is Dr. George Armitage, the librarian of the University of Michigan. He is sixty years old, knowledgeable, approachable, and full of charming cultivation and demeanor. He is a very worthy person. An old man loved by University of Michigan students.

In Massachusetts, the Armitages were one of what was called an "oldgentry" family, the upper class of the New World for hundreds of years.

George Armitage's grandfather, Henry Armitage, also served as the director of the University of Michigan Library, and his father was also a member of the school board.

Therefore, when it comes to the University of Michigan Library, it is inseparable from the Armitage family. The contribution of this family to this library is indeed unparalleled by others.

Normally, as long as he is in Arkham, Dr. Armitage will appear in the library every day, and students can easily see him.

The last time Hannah saw this old man was when she borrowed "The King in Yellow". It seems that Dr. Armitage also read this book later.

Gu Jun will not look down upon this person, not just because George Armitage has a name and detailed background.

There’s also a well-known reason that librarians don’t usually exist for free. This Dr. Armitage is definitely not simple either.

The dim night shrouds this campus. Miskatonic University is located on both sides of this river branch, connected by a small stone bridge. The style of each building is earlier than the Victorian era. Some teaching buildings with gray walls and spires The building stands there like an ancient castle.

This university is almost as old as Arkham.

The car was driving on the road within the campus area. There were not many passers-by, and even if there were, they were like walking zombies, which made Gu Jun feel even colder in his heart.

From the moment they came out of the restaurant to now, there has been no scene modification. It seems that in the script, they will come here.

After passing through a secluded forest, the car stopped at a temporary parking space on the roadside not far from the library. The old-style kerosene lamp-shaped street lamps emitted a hazy light, and the inexplicable night fog gave the place some old-world charm. Beautiful, and weird.

Gu Jun looked at the library in front of him. It was naturally not as grand as the library in Nacht City, but it had its own uniqueness.

The three-story church-like building occupies a wide area, and its pointed dome connects with the night clouds. The lights in the library are brightly lit. It is only around nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still a large number of students studying inside. Moreover, the library is open all night from Monday to Friday.

The library is a quiet place, and silence is the order of the place.

However, it was very quiet at this time, and Gu Jun could hear the sound of the river flowing farther over there,

There was also the distant barking of a dog coming from an unknown direction, barking very 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 here, dogs raised in schools, stray dogs, everywhere."

Gu Jun glanced around again, including medical dogs and archaeological dogs.

"It seems we are in the right place." Hannah walked towards the library door, and Gu Jun followed behind, walking down a long set of stone steps.

Before entering, the two of them showed their identities to the guard at the door as students and graduates of the University of Michigan, and the guard let them pass without saying anything.

Entering the lobby on the first floor, Gu Jun saw large classical tables placed in front. Students were sitting around the tables, reading books, tapping on laptops, and writing notes. Well...they are all hard-working people or people who fail to make up for their studies.

The bookshelves placed against the walls are as high as the roof. They are filled with volumes of books, containing an unknown amount of knowledge.

However, when Gu Jun walked past those large tables, he glanced at the books and notes spread out by students on the tables.

The students were all fascinated, but the pages were all blank, and they turned one page after another, and they were just blank background props...

Gu Jun suddenly felt confused. Even props should have some words written on them, so that they would appear real and believable...

When he thought like this, the things he looked at changed.

Some words floated hazily, twisting like insects. He tried his best to see clearly, but found that they were all messy and unreadable threads, as if they were just splashed with some ink to make up the scene.

"More than what you can touch, you can see whatever 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 does not live here.

No matter what, Hannah led 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 library's collection of books is divided into levels. The most precious and least accessible books are on the guarded third floor. The "King in Yellow" was previously placed on the second floor.

Gu Jun walked, keeping an eye on his surroundings.

He never fully trusted Hannah and never intended to let her guide him.

After coming out of the restaurant, he had never tried to challenge the script. Gu Jun's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly rushed to the long bookshelf against the wall. His hands frantically pulled down the books on the shelf, and the books fell all over the floor. They are all there, some are scattered, and they are also blank inside.

At the same time, the barking of the dog that Gu Jun heard became closer, more ferocious, and clearer...

Love the Plague Doctor.
