Mr. Joyce put the fried eggs on a bowl, cut a few more pieces of bread and fry them, and then took them to serve.

The dining table is an old wooden table next to the kitchen. The table is covered with mottled oil stains and mold spots in some places. Medical dogs usually have a higher hygiene requirements than others, but Gu Jun was so hungry that he was bloated. As soon as he sat down, he started to eat the fried egg. The natural egg of the chicken on the ground was quite delicious.

"What's going on?" he asked about the incident in Insmouth two years ago that the old man had mentioned.

"There are very few things that the outside world can know. It was from the end of the previous year to the beginning of last year that many people said it was because someone smuggled alcohol there. But I know it wasn't. Jack had inquired about many ways to make money, including this, and no one sold private wine in Insmouth at all."

Mr. Joyce was very disdainful of this statement, "There were many people arrested that time, but no one knew where they were taken. There was no news of the trial, and there was almost no news. There was some group protest, but it was quickly suppressed by the federal government. Some things definitely happened there."

Gu Jun frowned silently. Could it be a FBM action against Insmouth...

In his hometown world, Insmouth does not exist there, and FBM has never had any action in this regard.

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

"I just want to seek justice." Mr. Joyce gnawed the bread, his voice was muffled, as if he was a little choked. "I went to the police to ask me, no one paid attention to me, I went to the media to ask me, no one paid attention to me. My old friends either think I'm crazy or don't want to cause trouble."

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

"Oh?" Mr. Joyce's eyes shone.

Gu Jun thought he had to use a more convincing statement that suited his identity, so he said, "I just came to this country and needed to find some work and make some money. I can help you investigate in Insmouth. I am an Oriental, and maybe I can get in."

"Mr. Gu, you can definitely get in!" In fact, Mr. Joyce had thought of this idea, so he was excited: "You can pretend to be a Dagon believer!"

"Yes, but I need to know more about the situation first." Gu Jun nodded, "I want to know, have there been rumors about witches in Insmouth?"

In this place, if the witches were changed in a witch, if they had been two hundred years earlier, they would have been accused of being punished for witches in minutes.

"Witch..." Mr. Joyce glared and said with some amusement: "So, everything here is about the witch. Old John's house has few eggs, and that was stolen by the witch, right? Old Carter's dogs always bark at night. Did they see the witch? That's it."

The old man said and swallowed the bread, a little choking, "Look, maybe it was the witch who was eavesdropping on us now, which made me choke."

But Gu Jun felt cold in his heart, watching the old man's reflection under the light, and the sky outside was already dark...

He knew that it was not impossible that this kind of possibility, the "shadow" that Xiao Kedou had mentioned.

"Witches, witches, I heard them from my ears since I was a child." Mr. Joyce disagreed. "There are certainly legends of witches in Insmouth. But I have inquired about it. It has nothing to do with the Dagon Church. But there is a 'Witch House' there in Arkham."

Gu Jun was surprised, "Arkham". He just heard this place name. He thought it was just an ordinary place, but now it sounds like it doesn't seem simple either?

"Arkham?" he asked.

"Arkham is one of our rare cities, right?" said Mr. Joyce. "There are also all kinds of weird legends. One of them is related to witches. I have to tell you about the witch case in Salem that year."

Gu Jun actually heard of it before, but now he still hears it from the old man. After all, the situation of the case here may be different.

But he still sounded the same, it was this thing, the Salem Witch Trial.

It was more than two hundred years since 1929. In Salem, Massachusetts, the daughter of a pastor first developed a strange disease, and then the girls who usually played with her also developed symptoms one after another. Then some other girls in the town also became ill.

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

Mr. Joyce said these unverifiable history, "No one knew why at that time, and the doctor could not explain it."

Gu Jun was silent. In the medical field, Salem's incident was also a historical mystery.

Tourette's disease? At least not the ordinary type, because this disease is not contagious and does not cause delirium. There is a hypothesis that "ergot disease" is ergot poisoning caused by taking rye parasitized by fungus "ergot bacteria". It just doesn't explain why girls started out.

Due to this plague, almost everyone in the town of Salem was accused of being either a witch or a witchmaker.

The old man said that this caused hundreds of people to be imprisoned, tortured, dozens of people to be hanged, stoned, burned, etc.

"At that time, one of the witches, Kezia Mason." Mr. Joyce said again, "Later, for some reason, the witch escaped from Salem Prison and disappeared suddenly! The jailer at that time went crazy and said that he saw Kezia Mason opening up the space with curves, corners, etc...."

Speaking of these, the old man felt absurd even if he was half-believing and half-doubting about the evil forces.

In the old man's opinion, those Dagonese pagans did not have any ability beyond ordinary people, and their sacrifices were just ordinary sins.

This is even more true of these witch legends. It is just a matter of adding fuel to future generations and far-fetched explanations.

If Mr. Joyce believed that there was a demon, he would not have any good expressions to the young man in front of him.

But Gu Jun became more and more heartbroken when they heard this. They couldn't understand. According to what Xiao Kedou said, the witch's phantom came out of the corner with what power...

Now, he knew very well that this kind of thing that travels through space is not just a legend, but he just didn't know if "Kezia Mason" had anything to do with this matter.

"Anyway, the old house where Keziya Mason lived is in Arkham," said Mr. Joyce. "It is said that there are many strange things there, and everyone doesn't want to get close to you if it's unlucky."

Gu Jun suddenly had another idea, and came to this time and space...

Could it be that Arkham is a more important place than Insmouth? Will there be any important clues in that "Witch House"?

Could Kezia Mason be that witch, or would it be a thousand faces?

Just as Gu Jun was thinking, several dogs outside the house suddenly barked, and a noisy sound came from afar.

"Old Joss, you old bastard, someone saw you bringing that pagan home!"

"You damn old guy, hand over that Oriental man, do you want to kill us, like killing Jack!"

"Get out of here, you beast!"

With a loud scolding, the dog's scream suddenly rang out. The dogs were obviously beaten and fled away immediately, and the barking became even more violent.

"Damn, damn..." Mr. Joyce put down the bread in his hand and stood up, his beard trembling with anger. "Those savages are here, damn!"
