I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

A broken mirror—no one knows what it witnessed, but at least it can be wiped clean and still be used.

Each mirror reflects an incarnation; be careful not to let them replace you.

When you're tired, perhaps you can look in the mirror and let it help you solve various problems in real life.

Clearly, once reflected in the mirror, the image in the mirror will try to replace the person in reality.

As for what those incarnations will do, that's hard to say.

It could be just a snotty-nosed baby who only knows how to cry, or it could be a violent rage-filled maniac, or it could be a silly kid like the one just now, whose head is full of clever ideas.

Thinking about this, Lu Ban became curious again.

There's a similar mirror in my house, and Lu Ban in the mirror can move freely. If the two mirrors are placed facing each other, I wonder what will be created.

He felt like an alchemist, constantly trying to mix different things together to create something that made his scalp crawl.

Covering the mirror with a bed sheet, Lu Ban slept soundly in his new home.

The next day, Lu Ban had someone move the mirror back home. Once home, he placed it in the bathroom, facing the bathroom mirror, and then uncovered the sheet covering it.

He glanced at the middle and found nothing in the mirror.

Lu Ban in the mirror was nowhere to be seen; he was definitely out of sight.

Did he know he was going to be doing an experiment, and so he avoided it?

Lu Ban looked around and quickly found that in the corner of the large mirror in the living room, Lu Ban was hiding behind the coffee table, trembling.

"That's it? Is it even okay?"

Lu Ban said something, and it seemed that the Lu Ban in the mirror also knew that the mirror was close to becoming a real monster, so he quickly ran away to avoid being blown up.

After covering the broken mirror in the bathroom with a bed sheet, Lu Ban checked the progress of his mission.

[Task Requirements: Magic Network Influence: 8975/10000000]

"The progress is a bit slow."

Lu Ban thought to himself.

At the current rate, it would take several more months to achieve an influence of ten million.

Of the thirty-five players, only four were able to complete the first mission; most were stuck on the second mission.

"We need to bring them into this world so they can have a greater impact."

Lu Ban pondered.

However, if these people come to this world through the [Morning Star], it's hard to guarantee that they won't do some of the classic actions of players, causing widespread destruction to everything around them. Even if they don't kill anyone, they may still damage property and cause trouble for ordinary people.

"If we could find some ruins, or something else, for them to explore..."

As Lu Ban was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Feng Yu.

The class monitor seemed to have some tricky things to deal with before and hadn't contacted Lu Ban. Now that he's suddenly sending a message, it looks like either the matter is resolved or it's about to be resolved.

Lu Ban opened WeChat and saw that Feng Yu hadn't left a message, but instead sent a location and a link.

I checked the location, and it turned out I wasn't in China, but on the other side of the ocean.

Miscatork, Massachusetts.

Clicking on the link, Lu Ban discovered that it was an invitation.

"Dear Director Lu Ban, we are honored to invite you to participate in this Miskatonic Film Festival and serve as a jury member..."

The invitation was against a black background with misty white text floating on it. The text invited Lu Ban to attend this film festival and serve as a judge for the films. Lu Ban had received many such invitations. Since he became famous, all kinds of film festivals, big and small, hoped that he could attend and serve as a judge to increase his prestige.

"Is this a request for me to attend a film festival?"

Lu Ban pondered.

Chapter 764 Miskatok

Lu Ban first searched online for the place Miskatok.

There isn't much information about this city online; apart from reports about the film festival, there are only a handful of travelogues.

Located in Massachusetts, this city was originally an agricultural center, but with the excavation of some nearby historical sites, agricultural development was somewhat restricted, and the city gradually stagnated.

Miskatole University is the only university here. Founded in the late 17th century, it is a university with a long history. Its better majors are archaeology, history, and psychology. Considering the decline of the city and the decreasing number of students, the university came up with the idea of ​​holding a film festival to attract tourists.

The Miskatonic Film Festival primarily selects films in the fantasy, science fiction, thriller, and horror genres. After a period of development, it has become a relatively authoritative film festival in these fields, and has indeed somewhat saved the declining Miskatonic.

Of course, due to the subject matter of this film festival, many legends about Miskatonic have also emerged.

Some say that the library at Miskatole University contains many forbidden books, some of which can even summon the dead, control the spirits of the dead, and even bring people back to life.

The university's collection includes mummies brought back from Egypt that awaken on certain nights and dominate all living things they encounter.

In a small town outside Miskatonic live strange residents who, on certain days, transform into monsters and sacrifice tourists to their gods.

There are also rumors that a professor from Miskatole University once organized an expedition to Antarctica, but the expedition encountered an accident and the fate of the victims is unknown.

Lu Ban couldn't verify the truth of these rumors, but since Feng Yu had sent a message, this place must be related to the pollution from the alien realm.

Lu Ban sent a message to Feng Yu to confirm, but she never replied.

"Wasn't this message posted by Feng Yu?"

He was confused and called Feng Yu again.

No one heard.

Very strange.

Clearly, this message was not sent by Feng Yu herself; her account or her phone is not currently being used by her.

The holder's purpose then becomes quite intriguing.

He didn't cover up the fact that Feng Yu had lost contact, nor did he care that Lu Ban could guess it. He was looking out for the fact that Lu Ban would definitely help Feng Yu.

Lu Ban will definitely go and check on the situation.

He gathered more information about Miskatonic, then bought a plane ticket and flew directly to Massachusetts.

Massachusetts is also known as "Massachusetts" in the country, and the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University are located in this state. However, Miscatork does not belong to these famous places. It is located at a high altitude and has prominent sea-eroded landforms. In terms of scenery alone, it belongs to the category of barren and desolate places.

Miskatonic doesn't even have its own airport; it's much faster to get there from Providence, Rhode Island.

Lu Ban arrived at Green Airport near Providence late at night. He slept in a hotel near the airport and prepared to find a way to Miskatonic the next day.

In the hotel lobby, Lu Ban was about to check out when he saw several young people making a fuss in front of him.

There were five of them in total, two women and three men, who seemed to be college students. They chatted casually while checking out of the hotel.

"This time, the film I most want to see is 'The Long Road Ahead,' I really like the director's style."

"Don't just focus on watching the movie, remember to finish our work."

"The hotel bed was so hard that my back hurt from sleeping on it."

"I'll go fill up the gas first; this damn gas is so expensive."

The group chatted amongst themselves, and Lu Ban listened quietly from behind. He soon discovered that their destination was also Miskatonic.

Such as university field trips or study abroad programs.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ban had no choice but to take advantage of the situation.

He cleared his throat and leaned closer.

"Gentlemen, are you going to the Miskatonic Film Festival?"

Although Lu Ban had long since forgotten his English, he had a "last will and testament" that mastering a language was just a matter of a sentence.

"Yeah... huh?"

The tallest boy had given a casual reply, but when he noticed Lu Ban, his eyes widened immediately.

"You are... Director Lu Ban?"

He recognized Lu Ban immediately and was dumbfounded.

"What Lu Ban?"

The blonde girl next to him hadn't reacted yet and repeated the name.

"It's Lu Ban, Lu Ban, the director of 'Magic Tide'!"

Another person recognized Lu Ban and immediately covered their mouth.

"Holy crap, is this for real? I haven't even put on my makeup properly yet. Wait, let me look in the mirror."

The blonde girl immediately realized what was happening and quickly hid behind the tall man.

"Director Lu Ban, are you also here for the Miskatonic Film Festival?"

A bespectacled boy asked the question; he was wearing a jacket and had a somewhat bookish air about him.

"Yes, the film festival invited me to be a judge, but I don't know if I made a mistake, they didn't arrange for anyone to meet me."

Lu Ban started spouting nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Oh, please don’t mind them. The Miskatonic people are just that eccentric. They don’t really welcome outsiders, and they’re difficult to communicate with. Am I right, Scott?”

The bespectacled boy said this, then patted the dark-skinned boy next to him who had just finished the formalities and looked like a volleyball player.

"Scott is from Miskatonic. We were studying in Boston and were driving to the film festival."

The boy named Scott simply nodded at Lu Ban, seemingly uninterested in Lu Ban's identity.

"That's perfect. Do you have any seats left in your car?"

Lu Ban spoke frankly. It is said that foreigners are very direct, so he followed suit and did not beat around the bush.

"Of course, James rented a campervan. As long as you, Director Lu, don't mind sleeping with us on the road for a day or two."

The last girl said that she had brown hair and didn't look particularly flamboyant, but her words were very provocative.

"That's great!"

Lu Ban quickly became friends with them.
