Miskatonic

Lu Ban first went online and searched for information about Miskatonic.

There was little information about the city online. Aside from reports related to the film festival, there were only a handful of travel blogs.

Located in Massachusetts, the city had relied primarily on agriculture in its early days. However, as some nearby historical ruins were excavated, agricultural development became somewhat restricted, and the entire city gradually fell into stagnation.

Miskatonic University was the only university there. Founded in the late seventeenth century, it was considered a university with a long history. Its stronger departments included archaeology, history, and psychology. Given the city's decline and the decreasing number of applicants, the university had come up with the idea of holding a film festival to attract visitors from elsewhere.

The Miskatonic Film Festival mainly focused on fantasy, science fiction, thriller, and horror films. After years of cultivation and development, it had become a fairly authoritative festival in those fields, and it had genuinely managed to slightly save the steadily declining Miskatonic.

Of course, because of the genres covered by the festival, rumors about Miskatonic also kept circulating.

Some said that Miskatonic University's library contained many forbidden books. Some of them could even summon the dead, control spirits, and bring people back to life.

The university's collection included mummified specimens brought back from Egypt. On certain nights, they would awaken and dominate every living thing they saw.

In a small town on the outskirts of Miskatonic lived some strangely behaving residents. On certain days, they would turn into monsters and sacrifice tourists to the gods they worshiped.

There were also rumors that a Miskatonic University professor had once organized an expedition to Antarctica, only for it to encounter an accident, leaving the explorers' fates unknown.

Lu Ban had no way to verify
