Lu Ban first searched the Internet for the place called Miskatoke.

There is not much introduction about this city on the Internet. Apart from reports on the film festival, there are only a few travel diaries.

This city located in Massachusetts used to have agriculture as its main industry. However, with the excavation of some historical sites nearby, agricultural development was restricted to a certain extent and the entire city gradually fell into stagnation.

Miskatoke University is the only university here. It was founded in the late seventeenth century and is a university with a long history. Its relatively outstanding majors are archaeology, history, psychology, etc. Considering the decline of the city and the decreasing number of candidates, the university came up with the idea of ​​holding a film festival to attract foreign tourists.

The Miskatoke Film Festival focuses on the selection of fantasy, science fiction, thriller, and horror films. After a period of hard work and development, it has become a relatively authoritative film festival in related fields, and it has really saved the declining Miskatoke a little.

Of course, due to the subject matter of this film festival, there are also many legends about Miskatoc.

Some people say that there are many banned books in the library of Miskatoke University, some of which can even summon the dead, control the dead, and even bring people back to life.

The university's collection of mummy specimens brought back from Egypt would wake up on certain nights and dominate all living things it saw.

The small town outside Miskatoc is inhabited by strange residents who, on certain days, transform into monsters and sacrifice visitors to their gods.

There are also rumors that a professor at Miskatoke University once organized an expedition to Antarctica, but they encountered an accident and their life or death is unknown.

Lu Ban could not verify the truth of these rumors, but since Feng Yu sent the message over, this place must have some relationship with the pollution from foreign lands.

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

"Wasn't this news sent by Feng Yu?"

He was confused and called Feng Yu again.

No one answered.

Very strange.

Obviously, this was not a message sent by Feng Yu herself, and she was not using her account or her phone.

Then the purpose of the holder is very intriguing.

He did not cover up the fact that Feng Yu had lost contact, nor did he care that Lu Ban could guess it. Did he think that Lu Ban would definitely help Feng Yu?

Although Lu Ban will definitely go and take a look at the situation.

He collected some more information about Miskatoc and bought a plane ticket to Massachusetts.

Massachusetts is also known as "Massachusetts" in China. The famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard are located in this state, but Miskatoke is not one of these famous places. It has a high terrain and prominent sea erosion landforms. Judging from the scenery alone, it is barren and desolate.

Even Miskatoke doesn't have its own independent airport, and it would be faster to get there from Providence, Rhode Island, next door.

It was already late at night when Lu Ban arrived at Green Airport near Providence. He slept in a hotel near the airport for the night. The next day, he prepared to find a way to go to Miskatok.

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

There were five of them in total, two women and three men, who looked like college students. They were chatting while checking out.

"This time, the movie I want to watch the most is The Long Days Ago. I really like the director's style."

"Don't just watch the movie, remember to finish our work."

“The bed in the hotel is so hard that it gives me a backache.”

"I'm going to fill up my tank later. Why is gasoline so damn expensive?"

Several people were talking to each other, and Lu Ban was listening quietly in the back. He soon found out that their destination was also Miskatoke.

Such as practical trips and study tours in college.

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

He cleared his throat and moved closer.

"Hey guys, are you going to the Miskatoke Film Festival?"

Although Lu Ban had already lost his English proficiency to his teacher a long time ago, he still had his [Last Words], so mastering a language was just a matter of one sentence.

"Yeah... huh?"

The tallest boy answered casually, but when he noticed Lu Ban, his eyes widened immediately.

"You are Director Lu Ban?"

He recognized Lu Ban the first time and was stunned.

"What is Lu Ban?"

The blonde girl next to him repeated the name before she could react.

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

Another person recognized Lu Ban and immediately covered his mouth.

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

The blonde girl reacted immediately and quickly hid behind the tall man.

"Director Lu Ban, are you here to attend the Miskatoke Film Festival as well?"

A boy wearing glasses asked. He was wearing a jacket and looked a bit scholarly.

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

Lu Ban opened his mouth and started talking nonsense.

"Oh, don't mind it. The Miskatoc people are just weird. They don't welcome outsiders very much, and it's difficult to communicate with them. Am I right, Scott?"

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

"Scott is from Miskatoke, and we were in school in Boston and were driving to the film festival."

The boy named Scott just nodded to Lu Ban, seemingly not interested in Lu Ban's identity.

"That's great. Is there any room in your car?"

Lu Ban spoke frankly. It was said that foreigners were very direct, so he followed the local customs and did not beat around the bush.

"Of course, James is renting an RV. As long as Director Lu Ban doesn't mind sleeping on the road with us for a day or two."

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

"That's great."

Lu Ban quickly became friends with them.

These five people are students majoring in film and television at a university in Boston. They went to the Miskatoc Film Festival with two purposes. The first was to feel the atmosphere of the film festival as part of off-campus practice, and the other was to shoot a movie.

They wanted to make a film about film festivals and try to participate in the College Student Film Festival the following year. If they could get a nomination or something, they would make a fortune.

“A film about a film festival?”

Lu Ban felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.
