For the sake of the window in the bathroom, Jobram naturally didn't sleep all night to be on the alert for a possible attack at any time, but it was a false alarm all night.The two men on the top floor encountered the people in the corridor, and they also didn't dare to close their eyes all night.When the rooster crowed in the morning and the sun slowly rose in the east, Professor Rob and Columbia simply walked out of the room on the top floor."
Bang Bang Tie.""
So early?"
Jote Brown opened the door and saw the two people with two big black circles on their heads and teased."
No, you're early."
Professor Rob shrugged helplessly, "Anyway, the two of us haven't slept all night, and we're purely relying on coffee to hang our spirits." ”"Come in and talk about it."
Jot Brown rolled his wheelchair back a bit, giving the two of them a place to enter the door.In the room, Sif was still asleep with her head covered by the quilt, completely unaware of the existence of two more people in the room."
Sit down by yourself, and I won't greet you."
Jobuterron pursed his lips, then waited for the two to sit down separately and asked, "Tell me, what happened to you last night?"
”Columbia was about to talk about the tragedy he had seen in the hallway last night, but was stopped by Professor Rob on the back.Professor Rob looked at Jobron and shook his head, "We're good kids, we know what we can say and what we can't say. ”Chobuterron frowned when he heard this, and understood that Professor Robb and Colombia had encountered a secret that could not be said, and this unspeakable must be based on the rules set by the old woman.The two people in front of them didn't rest all night, and their faces were full of stubble, obviously witnessing an accident, and the old woman was also present at the same time, so such a rule was added for the two.Whatever the accident itself was, one can guess that it must have something to do with the Kukui legend mentioned last night.After clearing his thoughts, Giobuterrand furrowed his brow and nodded slightly.It didn't take too many words for Jot Brown to understand what Professor Rob meant, which was the communication between smart people.Colombia, on the other hand, covered his mouth in fear, and even looked around timidly, for fear that the monster would appear out of thin air and capture him.Jobuterron looked at Colombia's overly cautious appearance with a crying smile, "Don't worry, you haven't said it yet."
Now listen, I'll tell you. ”Professor Rob immediately shouted, "Stop."
Those who do not know are not guilty, but the consequence of knowingly committing them is to be bored.You can't assume that this rule doesn't exist just because you didn't hear it in person. ”After listening to Professor Rob's words, Jot Brown began to ponder.Seeing this, the two did not interrupt his thoughts, and after a while, Giobuterrand took the initiative to break the silence and said, "I see!
Relatively safe, hahahaha!
Let's go around, push me out a bit, and we'll go to the reception desk. ”Columbia stood up and pushed Jot Brown's wheelchair to the reception.At this time, the old woman was bending down to wipe the non-existent dust on the reception desk with a rag, and when she saw the two people who came out, she greeted them with a warm smile, "Good morning." ”"Good morning, Grandma, we didn't get a good rest last night.Could you allow us to stay a little longer before checking out?
”Jot Brown asked politely, with the same smile on his face."
Hehe, of course it's no problem, just check out at two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise you will have to charge more?"
The old woman narrowed her eyes and replied as she looked at Jot Brown."
That's great, thank you Grandma."
With that, Jobram motioned for Colombia to push him back.The two of them returned to their rooms, locked them, and breathed a sigh of relief."
Sleep, sleep, hurry up and sleep.Just check out before 2 o'clock and everything is good to say. ”Without saying a word, Jote Brown lay down on his bed and fell asleep.The small room was filled with a clamour, and Professor Rob lay on the couch while Columbia lay on the bench.When Sif woke up from her bed, it was noon.She couldn't help but laugh when she saw the three sleeping people.After washing alone, he packed his bags and put away all the changes of clothes before waking up Jot Brown."
You go take a shower, it's noon now.We'll have to go in a minute. ”"Well, let me sleep a little longer..."
Joke Rand replied in a daze, but immediately sat up again, "It's noon?!"
”Seeing the startled Jot Brown, Sif couldn't help but laugh, "yes, it's almost twelve o'clock." ”Jot Brown covered his head, "It's really inconvenient to not have an alarm clock."
Tell the two over there to get up and clean up the room.Good children will tidy up their rooms and quilts by themselves, and they will understand this sentence. ”1 With that, Jobron took his towel and went to the bathroom to wash up.Sif gently woke up the tired and blinded two, and relayed Jobtron's words to them.The two of them suddenly came to their senses, and rushed back to their rooms to clean up the beds, tables and chairs that they had messed up before they came down.Before two o'clock, they packed their bags and gathered again at the reception.This time, Sif stepped in and handed over the two keys to the seemingly most harmless of humans and animals.After Sif handed over the key, she didn't leave immediately, but smiled sweetly and asked the old woman, "Grandma, the room is all tidied up, and we came to check out."
You say, are we good boys?
”"Hehe, very conscious.Knowing that I'm old and have inconvenient legs and feet, I can save me snacks, which is a good thing. ”The old woman smiled as she wiped a crossbow that still had a trace of blood.Sif didn't know what was going on, but Professor Columbia and Professor Rob behind her were both vigilant."
So, can Grandma tell us how we can get the token of our trip to Miskatanik University?"
Sif brushed away the hair that fell to her ears and stared at the old woman in front of her with expectant eyes."
Are you exchange students?
Professor?
Or an adventurer?
If you're a private investigator, I'd advise you not to wade into the troubled waters of Miskatonik University.You can't get into that place without a letter of recommendation. ”The old woman put down the crossbow and took out a letter of recommendation sealed in red paint from the drawer and shook it in front of them."
Can you lend me a look?"
Sif asked honestly with her hands folded on her chest."
I've got you, I've got this drawer anyway.Oh, obedient children, naturally there are rewards. ”The old woman waved her hand generously, and opened the whole drawer to show them.There were hundreds of letters of recommendation inside, and many of them were stained with blood.When they probably guessed the origin of these recommendation letters, the three people who knew about it couldn't help but feel a chill behind them.Behind these letters of recommendation are human lives.After thanking the old woman, the four of them withdrew from the adventurer's house.Colombia quickly took out a notebook that he had with him, and hurriedly wrote a sentence in the notebook: "Traveler's House, the hotel in Arkham, a place where everything runs according to the rules, and those who ignore or break the rules will be in danger." ”"What are you writing about?"
Seeing this, Sif asked."
An adventure diary, maybe it can be published in the future and make a little money.Hahahaha. ”Colombia scratched the back of her head and said embarrassedly."
Don't think about printing, it's impossible for knowledge to circulate in the outside world in the small town of Arkham, otherwise we wouldn't have to cross the river by feeling the stones and taking risks while finding the way."
Jobuterrand quipped, and Colombia sighed in annoyance."
In other words, why is a letter of recommendation a token?
I remember that our letters of recommendation were just ordinary books, huh?
”Sif asked, puzzled."
Take ours out and see what's the difference."
With that, Jot Brown pulled out the letters of recommendation from himself, Sif and Professor Robb.When the letter of recommendation was opened, a flash of light flashed.What started out as just an ordinary letter of recommendation has now become a map.There are two spots of light on the map that flash different colors, and there is a clear line between them.The route shimmers with a slight phosphorescent light like a stream of water, as if to guide the way."
It turns out that the token is all around us."

Professor Rob sighed as he stroked his beard."
It's a blind spot in our thinking.Who would have thought that this letter of recommendation would turn out like this on its own when it was in Arkham Town?
But now that we have a letter of recommendation, we don't have to worry about not being able to get into Colombia at that time.I really want to thank the grandmother of the Traveler's House for that. ”Justrum threw the letter of recommendation from his grandmother to Colombia, "Well, I'll take it myself." ”Packing their bags, the four's journey continued.The afternoon sun brought a little warmth to the earth, making Arkham look less eerie than it was at night, but the stench of mold was still there.The villagers all looked coldly at the strangers dressed differently, and wished that they could leave the land they lived in as soon as possible.The inhabitants of the unpainted cabins, far from the main road, would often slam their windows shut as the four of them passed, but the people behind the lattice windows still stared out of the windows with a lethal wood.This injustice stems from the numbness of the inhabitants to life, and the unspeakable is left behind.These residents have lived in such huts for generations, with no contact with the outside world.Their ancestors had been reduced to this wilderness with some fanatical and dark faith, but their descendants were imprisoned in this barren land by the curse that had been left behind.They live in isolation, suffering from pathological self-repression and xenophobia, while struggling to survive in the gloom of the place.As a result, the inhabitants of the area have a subconscious resistance to outsiders, and they are curious because they don't often see outsiders.Jote Brown's outfit was a fancy dress for them, especially the tuxedo on Professor Rob's body, which attracted their curiosity.These natives were stimulated by flashy dressing styles, and they could not understand such styles.Paradoxically, curiosity and resistance are manifested in these inhabitants, who just watch quietly and do not communicate with these strangers, but just watch.Because they know better than anyone that the darkness behind the town of Arkham can consume these outsiders at any moment.Following the route on the map, we slowly moved away from the village where we were now, and followed a valley path called the Miskatonic River, but the sunlight in the sky began to converge.It wasn't because it was dusk, but because there were large dark clouds in the air that covered the light that should have been sprinkled on the ground.Scattered raindrops followed from the sky, and as the rain grew heavier, the visible vision became blurred and blurred.The three people on foot were not affected much, but Chobuteran's wheelchair was sinned.The originally hard loess turned into mud under the moisture of the raindrops, and it became very difficult to push the wheelchair.Finding a place to shelter from the rain has become a top priority right now.Not far away were two old elm trees that grew at the foot of a rocky hill, and it was not yet late autumn, but there was not a single leaf left on the trees; All the branches were bare, lifeless like a dying old man.Behind the trees there is an old and dilapidated wooden house.The hillside in front of the hut was overgrown with weeds, but the path in front of the hut remained empty, apparently repaired on a regular basis.The rain became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of the torrential rain hitting the body was like small stones falling on the body.In desperation, the four of them could only come to this wooden house to take shelter from the rain temporarily.The door of the wooden house is closed, and it looks like a reverie.The eaves in front of the door were leaking, and Jobbuterrand, with the assistance of Professor Robb and Columbia, leaned his wheelchair against the turquoise moss-covered doorstep in front of the door.Everyone shook off the rain from their bodies in embarrassment, took out the unsoaked towels from the package, and wiped their hair and wet clothes.At the same time, Jobuterron glanced at the configuration of the wooden house.The deadbolt has a tan rust on it; The lattice windows, which are high near the lintel, are dirty and not very transparent, but they are still intact on the window frames.With a few heavy footsteps behind the door, the door creaked open from within.A faint voice came from behind the door, a strange local accent."
Are you going to come in?"
The four of them turned around and saw the man who had spoken.The man was apparently the owner of the house.He has a different physiognomy from the inhabitants of Arkham Town, and he is typical of the white people of Ouzhou; He has a straight hooked nose, blue eyes, pale blonde hair, and a height of about 1.9 meters.It can be seen from the white long household he has grown that he is very old, but his physique looks very strong, and his body is like an inverted triangle like a bodybuilder.His face was almost covered by the long, fluffy beard on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as if they were sharp, except that there were many bloodshot red tendons on both sides of the whites of the eyes.Despite being ragged and somewhat dirty, this man had an extraordinary bearing.
