Chapter 385 - Keziah M (2/2)
“Arkhaest city around this district It’s quite developed, at least compared to the rest of the district” Mr Joyce explained “That place is filled with strange legends too and one of them is related to the witches But to explain that, I will have to tell you the stories about Saleo”
Gu Jun did know his history but he did not stop the old ht be different But based on what he heard, everything sounded the same The stories were about the Saleo, in 1929 It started with a preacher’s daughter at Arkhairls that she normally played with fell under the sa for the illness to infect all the girls in the city “They would screa curse-like noises” Mr Joyce regaled Gu Jun with these historical pasts “At the time, no one, not even the doctors, knehat to do with it”
Gu Jun was silent In medical history, the Salem Witch Trials was also an unsolvedthat the witches were actually victi, Tourette Syndroious and it would not cause hallucination Another hypothesis was that it was due to ergotisotarains However, that did not explain why only the girls were infected Due to the plague, the town of Sale to the old man, several hundred people were captured and tortured People died fro and on the pyres
“Keziah Mason was one of the accused witches” Mr Joyce continued, “But soed to escape froht! The nextincoherently He clailes to open some kind of dimensional portal…”
The old man’s disbelief in these stories was evident Froon worshi+ppers did not have any superhuman ability, they were just delusional and crazy He treated these local witch legends with the saerated After all, if Mr Joyce believed in the actual existence of the devil, he would not be in such a convivial mood with Gu Jun
However, Gu Jun’s heart chilled fro to Kedou, the witch’s shadoalked out from the corner of her bedroom… That matched the story of how this Keziah Mason escaped froh for Gu Jun to confiredy back on Earth
“In any case, Keziah Mason’s home is located at Arkhaives it a wide berth”
Suddenly a thought dawned on Gu Jun The reason why he was transported to this space and time… Could Arkham be his actual destination and not Innsmouth? Was he supposed to find some clues at this Witch House? Could this Keziah Mason be his ‘big sister’ or the existence with a thousand faces?
While Gu Jun was thinking, the dogs outside the far commotion
