Chapter 74
Chapter 72: Arkham Flower
Bi-monthly calendar September 1, 1930, No. 561, Central Street, Commercial District, the original Rock Church, now the Beauty Flower Club.
This church, built with carefully selected stones, has a history of 130 years this year.
In the 130 years, the church has experienced the wind and the sun, but it is still extremely strong today. It is difficult to imagine what kind of craftsmanship makes this church so strong.
The church is a traditional Gothic building. The building below the whole is very regular, and there are exquisite reliefs on the outer walls. There are three high spires on the top of the church, which makes the whole church look very long and narrow.
The church has only served the clergy for seventy years in one hundred and thirty years. It was purchased by a businessman named Sham Goddard sixty years ago and turned into a wax museum on Commercial Street.
At that time, Sham completely renovated the place, overturned all the previous church designs, and turned the building into a three-story building. The interior decoration was luxurious at that time.
With its excellent location and superb craftsmanship, Sham quickly gained a great reputation in Arkham, and celebrities at that time had contact with him.
People take pride in having their own wax figure in the church.
Then something weird happened.
After five years of Sham’s occupancy, bizarre disappearance cases began to occur in the business district, and in the end people found that those missing people were made into wax figures.
Even a lot of weird spells were found in it. Only then did people know that Sham was an evil wizard. He killed a total of twelve citizens in half a year and used it to carry out his evil sacrifice. with experiments.
Legend has it that when people found him, he was lying in a stone coffin, and when people opened it, they saw him lying in a frenzy, and it was filled with the bones of those missing people and blood from nowhere. .
And those missing people, after he hollowed out their internal organs, turned into wax statues like guards, guarding around his sarcophagus.
That appalling incident shocked the entire town of Arkham at that time (it was still a town at the time), and the residents were panic-stricken.
In the end, the Empire sent some religious people to baptize the church, burn Sham, and burn all his sinful wax figures.
After this incident, the castle was completely sealed, and it was not until these few days that people knew that it had been reopened, and the person who opened it was the young mayor who took office recently.
At a time when everyone felt weird, after ten days of cleaning and decoration, this classical church took on a new look.
The exterior walls have been redecorated and painted with clean white paint. I heard that the floors and interior walls have also been completely renovated.
Even the soil of the underground foundation was dug up and replaced, and these works were all carried out in the sight of the surrounding merchants.
According to the mayor’s plan, an exclusive club for women will be built here to enrich women’s lives and improve their social status.
And the person responsible for this was a very mature, dignified, and beautiful woman. When this woman full of special brilliance just appeared, she immediately captured the attention and attention of all the men around her.
Rumor has it that this woman is the mayor’s secretary and a very good woman.
These ten days of contact have also given the surrounding residents a certain understanding of her. This fascinating beautiful lady is indeed very powerful. She leads the decoration engineering team in one hand, her subordinates in the other, and a group of beautiful women in the other. Beautiful little girl.
Soon, someone recognized this woman as the mysterious woman who rescued the little girls from the dark scene of the Rhodes Chamber of Commerce.
And those young and beautiful little girls are the rescued little girls!
A group of beauties suddenly landed here, immediately attracting the attention of almost all men in this commercial street.
With so many beauties gathered here, even just looking at them is already very seductive. What’s more, these poor little girls who used to be lonely are not familiar with the world. As long as they show some financial resources and say some sweet words, it is easy to coax them into their hands.
And the stunning beauty who took the lead has become the dream lover of this group of men. There are many single and rich men expressing their affection for her, and what they get is just a sentence: “No interest.”
Ten days have passed, and the gloomy and dilapidated church of the past has disappeared. Instead, it has become a Gothic building with a white background and a touch of gray and silver.
At the same time, the sign on the door also changed, and it became what it is today: Beauty Flower Club.
Naturally, the ten-day hot project attracted not only men, but also more women.
On the one hand, it is the function of the club itself, and the other women are the wives of married men from nearby merchants. They want to come and see what these fox spirits who have just moved in look like, and whether they will pose a threat to their families. ~www.readwn.com~ Today, the club has been completely remodeled, and while everyone was waiting to see how the club opened, Ross brought Daryl and the relevant government personnel here.
The arrival of this newly-appointed mayor who was in the limelight immediately attracted a large number of curious people, some were local merchants, some were citizens who came from other districts to buy things, and some were tourists from other places.
Yes, there are tourists in Arkham, and there are a lot of them every year, about 20,000 people, but they mainly visit the wealthy area and Miskatonic University, and rarely visit other places.
The gimmick of this club’s opening is naturally the hordes of beauties, which has attracted many people, and with the arrival of Ross, this attraction has been raised to the apex.
On the other side, in the top-floor office of the Clover Transportation Company, about 30 meters away from the Beauty Flower Club.
With a mid-parted hair, Danny O’Bannon, who was wearing a slender body, looked down at the crowded crowd on the street through the window expressionlessly, and Ross, who was surrounded by the crowd, slowly clenched his fists.
In a trance, his memory returned to ten days ago.
He and one of his mistresses had just finished venting that day, and they wanted to have a drink at the bar. Just at the door of the bar, he saw a smiling face, Ross, who was about to enter the bar.
He was still full of curiosity about the newly appointed mayor, so he greeted him enthusiastically, and the two of them happily drank wine and chatted.
After three rounds of drinking, Ross asked directly, “When will the mines on the north side of the city be returned to the government? Have you made enough money from them?”
Danny sneered in his heart after hearing this, and knew that meeting this guy was definitely not an accident.
