After a ten-minute journey, the carriage arrived in the center of the small town of Salem very quickly, but the sky had already darkened quickly. In spring, it can be said that there are long nights and many dreams. These little girls are still playing outside in the afternoon. If there is no carriage passing by If you don't, you are destined to feed the wolves in the forest tonight.

The most important thing is that after arriving in the town, there are a few things that need to be done...

Send a few kids home, let the kids' parents not worry, announce the arrival of the brigade and make hotel applications.

And because they rescued those girls before, a man named Randolph Carter helped them very enthusiastically. The other party ran a hotel in the small town.

He is the uncle of the little girl named Abigail, looking at the old face of the other party, Liu Xu always feels flustered, as if something is lost.

It's like the feeling that you were eating one day, and someone robbed you of your rice bowl...

.r D100=88

But just like his lost memory, he didn't know where he got this strange idea, maybe it was the other's old face like bacon, which reminded him of some bad experiences in the past.But he can't remember at all~

As a solo traveler, Liu Xu lived in a room by himself, while the rest of the circus moved into the room in groups of three or three.

There are three men and three women. To be honest, Liu Xu always feels an unspeakable weirdness when watching the circus.

A young oriental leader with a baby face looks very childish, giving the impression that he is not an adult.

Among the few remaining people, just those names gave him a headache...

The name Robin Hood is a well-known righteous thief, so it is no problem to use it as a contemporary name, but Nezha, who is also a code name, should now be a vicious name, and why is the one with this name a female doll.

But the two names Charles Henry Sanson and Mata Hari, he always felt that he had heard them there, but he couldn't remember where he heard them.It gave people a feeling as if these two people should not have appeared in this era. He didn't have such an abrupt and weird feeling when he heard other people's names.

But compared to the circus problem, Liu Xu is more concerned about why he forgot certain things, he just remembered that he woke up in the forest, and then he relied on the circus to lead him to the nearest small town .

As if someone pushed him to the center of the stage...

But compared to those outlandish things, he first opened his backpack and checked what he had brought.Because the circus was by his side before, even he himself didn't remember what he brought with him.

A lighter, a few notebooks, a few pens, a wallet, a change of clothes, a tent, a sleeping bag, bottles and cans...

It does look like something a picnicker would bring, but the question is why would he go out for a picnic?

If the record book he brought was a diary, there would be a way to solve his doubts, but when he opened the record diary, all he saw were chaotic words and constantly revised and repainted content.

Of course, this is just the content of one of the record books, which looks like a manuscript or something, but the second book is much more normal, it is a script, a drama, a plot.

It seems that he was traveling for inspiration, and then suddenly lost his memory for unknown reasons.

But the only question is, did he write all the contents of this notebook?Maybe he was actually a robber who killed a picnicker and robbed him of his finances, and then lost his memory for some reason.

But he himself wouldn't be so depraved, he didn't think his past memory would be bad enough to make him do such a thing, unless his amnesia was more than he expected.

Liu Xu glanced at the calendar in the room. The circus had asked the local girls what time it was. Today should be February 1692, 2.

Although he didn't know why the head of the circus would ask questions like the year when he entered, as if he wasn't the only one who didn't know the time.But this time also made him feel as if something was screaming in his mind, constantly sending out alarms, telling him to leave this place as quickly as possible.

Why?Why should he stay here?

He glanced at the manuscript in his hand, and then forgot all those strange questions.

"What am I going to do? Oh right~ Look at the notepad, what did I write..."

457. Taboo Comes to the Garden ([-])

Le Roi en Jaune was composed in 1890 by an anonymous French playwright and published the following year.

The script and the author were quickly reprimanded by the church. In 1891, the script was banned by the Paris authorities and banned from publication by the police.

What is known so far is that the French original version of the play has never been staged.

English editions followed, under the title The King in Yellow, in London and Edinburgh in 1892, and at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.

The play's anonymous author was rumored to have committed suicide, but a reviewer at the time opined that 'a demon could not be killed by a bullet'.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

An unremarkable night passed quickly, but Liu Xu still couldn't figure out why he was here.

He felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it all the time...

He wanted to look through his notes, but when he came back to his senses, it was dawn...

He didn't know what happened, but his heart was calm without ups and downs, no fear or panic, just felt that this was a matter of course, as if he knew the reason for the result of amnesia long ago.But he doesn't remember anything now, whether he really knows such a thing, it's like an itch in his heart that makes him sleepless.

When eating breakfast in the morning, he only saw what the head of the group and Carter were talking about, which seemed to be about touring performances and the like.

Because Salem was the gathering place of the Puritans, they left England, where they were persecuted, and came to the New World to start their new life, where Puritanism would not be an intolerable heresy.

This small town is mainly developed by fishing. Although it is very simple and natural, Liu Xu always feels an inexplicable strange feeling, as if this small town should not rely on fishery for development now, and even said that they are proud of it The same fishing port should not exist.

Obviously he is not the kind of person who hates technology, but he keeps questioning himself in his heart, is all this really correct?

.r D100=41

If you don't know the situation, why not investigate first~

If this small town is really as dangerous and terrifying as he guessed...

.........

[Whatley] I have lived in this small town for the longest time. The maid Tituba suggested this to herself who wants to know more about this city, but it is said that this family is also the most notorious, but Liu Xu wants to get The answer is not this.What is he after?He didn't know it himself, but there was nothing wrong with going to see him.

The circus went out early in the morning. Since he was not a member of the circus, Liu Xu chose to go out after a few minutes.

Although the locals will definitely regard him as a member of the circus, he will not perform for others like a monkey. Of course, although the circus calls itself a drama troupe, in Liu Xu's opinion, there is no difference at all. They're all weirdos in fancy costumes.

And when he came out, he had already seen the [Whatley] child.

It would be better to say that the other party chose to leave the hotel when he saw Liu Xu going out while looking at the hotel...

【Whatley Lavinia】

"Uh... why did I think of that name?"

As if a durian had been stuffed into his head, Liu Xu felt a tingling sensation in his brain. Is that name the one to be passed on to him?Is it the name of the little girl with white hair?He remembered that when the circus came to rescue yesterday, a little girl escaped, and she could still see a pale figure flashing past in the forest afterwards.

Could it be the other party?

The pale skin didn't look like malnutrition, but rather a combination of sepsis and albinism, and he didn't know if it was his illusion. He seemed to vaguely see a black horn on the other person's forehead.

Could it be that the fight in the circus was seen by the opponent yesterday?

Although he said that he didn't leave the carriage yesterday, he still saw some heroic figures of the circus fighting by virtue of the reflective bronze mirror in the carriage.

Leaving aside those male members who seemed to have problems, the woman who had been hiding her face under the cloak just raised her hand and triggered a series of magic bullets, smashing down the entire area like the roar of war. earth.

Although Hengxiang called it magic, but when the words came to his lips, he turned into 'magic' again.

He didn't want to cause trouble, so he just walked silently to the opposite direction of the circus, which was also the direction where the little girl left, and where the Whateley family was located.

And that's exactly what happened, he saw the little girl running back home, but when he knocked on the door, all he got was the reply of 'Get out'.Although he wanted to prove his identity, the other party didn't even come to the door to respond, they just cursed and insulted viciously.

Although he really wanted to kick the door forcefully, but considering his identity, Liu Xu held back for now.

He looked at the garbage piled up on the edge of the courtyard. The lack of staff to clean it up caused the stench to grow. It seemed that the family had lived here for a long time, but the garbage should be cleaned up once a week.After all, the fence next to the garbage dump was blacked out, but the size of the garbage dump did not match the traces.

Liu Xu, who was obsessed with cleanliness, didn't stay for too long, because he had already got what he wanted. He glanced at the debris of various plants scattered in the garbage dump, and some paper balls with strange lines painted on them were torn to shreds Then littered together.

.r d100=3

It looks like some healing medicinal materials, props to stop bleeding and prevent infection, but it's not clear who it is for.As for those messy scraps of paper, Liu Xu used his own brain to restore them to a certain extent, and they could probably form a circular magic circle, but the fine details were unknown.

The trash heap really stinks...

He then returned to the town, and then he heard a riot in the town tavern. It seemed that members of the circus had clashed with the local crew.But what does all this have to do with Liu Xu?If he can even take care of this kind of thing, then he will not be a lonely traveler.

However, what he saw in the small town was not good. People's faces were very gloomy, and some people even looked stained with blood. I don't know if it was his illusion, as if some people's clothes were in tatters. Yes, the bloated body is like a swollen floating corpse, and there are even some strange giants in the crowd who at first glance would think that they have four arms and a big mouth on their faces.

But those strange anomalies, which disappeared after he blinked, really confused him.

"Randolph Carter, why do I seem to remember that this is the name of a university professor?"

Scratching the back of his head suspiciously, Liu Xu didn't know what was going on, but maybe it was just a coincidence that there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world.

458. Taboo Comes to the Garden ([-])

Prelude: [Ilik Chudak], a traditional Tuvan elegy.

A room in Iti Palace.The room was lacking in decor, shabby and dated.There is a terrace to the left of the room overlooking a lake.The sky is pink and there are two suns hanging over the lake.On the right is an arcade.On the wall hangs an ancient sword and a tapestry depicting a girl jumping over the horns of a bull.

(Cassiluda is standing at the window when the curtain rises. She is wearing a simple and elegant dress and a silver crown.)

(The stranger, a member of the chorus, stands in front of the stage to the right in a black robe. Yellow seals are embroidered on his robe, and his face is blank, featureless, and as pale as paper.)

----------

As time passed slowly, Liu Xu was sketching around the small town of Salem. He tried to draw the town, but he always felt that there was something wrong with what he saw.It seems that if he draws it down, he may make new discoveries if he investigates later.

The enemies of the circus seemed to be having trouble with the town, but they still pulled away their troupe, and it seemed that the drama to be performed tonight started smoothly.

He doesn't like drama very much, because there is an indelible masterpiece in his mind, which is a drama performed by his father himself on stage when he was a child.That was the rare joy when he was young, and it was also the rare time when he still had a good impression of his father. Since he could remember, he gradually discovered that his father liked his brother more than himself.

But at night, the villagers were still brought in. Although some people were cursing and talking about wasting lamp oil, why the pastor was missing, the pastor should prevent this from happening, but they still sat strangely on the stage prepared by the crew. Rows of benches.

The name of the play is - [Sheba meets Solomon]

Liu Xu remembered this. He had read relevant materials in the "Bible", but what he sought was not the omniscient and omnipotent Lord, but the Lord of Armies who made great achievements in BC.Investigate how the Lord of Armies changed from the immersed God of War to the only God and the Trinity...

He remembered that there was such a record in "Kings of the Old Testament" and "Chronicles" that in the 10th century BC, when the Kingdom of Israel was peaceful and prosperous under the rule of King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, a foreign monarch, admired Solomon's wisdom and fame, accompanied by a huge entourage, took spices, gems and gold, and arrived in Jerusalem in a mighty way to meet the king of Israel.

King Solomon is said to be the smartest person. Later generations often use Solomon's wisdom to describe a person's intelligence, although this adjective has been abused to the extent that it has almost become a derogatory term.But this does not mean how unbearable Solomon is to describe the object. It is just the description of the object that created this vocabulary, which has too much mysterious cognition and understanding for human beings.

The Queen of Sheba is more confusing. Her image is so changeable. The Bible is just a wise woman mentioned in a stroke. In the mouths of the Middle East and Western Europe, she is clearly polarized. She is called a devil and a witch. But it also recognizes the wisdom and piety of the right.

Even Liu Xu couldn't help but be amazed that there would be a crew performing such a show, they dared to put the Bible on the screen.

But what was more difficult for him to accept than simply putting the Bible on the screen was that the performance on the stage made him feel dizzy for a while.

The person who plays King Solomon wears a yellow robe covering his face and a mask. The pale mask has no facial features as smooth as a mirror.An indescribable weirdness, like a pig's heart soaked in soy sauce being thrown into a wine jar, the residents seemed to have some doubts from the bottom of their hearts, but they couldn't express their doubts for a minute.

Even the judge sitting under the stage frowned and shook his legs trying to find out what went wrong, but his head couldn't come up with the correct answer even if his head was about to explode.

But the performance on the stage only made Liu Xu feel a retch in his heart.
