Quinn finds Jack and they discuss the shared dream. Anthony looks into the history of the Necronomicon[1]. The only known copy in Greek was said to have burned during the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts. Written by Abul Al-hazred in the 700s. Greek translation from 950 AD - Theodorus Philetas - who gave it the name Necronomicon. 1288 starts Latin translations. All surviving translations were written in 17th century Spain except for the one in the British Museum, which is from a German printing circa 1454. Wen-cheng researches the the Mountain of the Black Wind. Quinn finds a Greek professor at the University to help translate parts of the book[2] and spends the remainder of their time working with him on that.
After about 4 days of intense translations working on the Necronomicon, the professor notes a ritual that details removing internal organs to gain immortality. The ritual leaves the brain, the seat of power, in the body, and the body can only be harmed if the brain is specifically targeted. We pack our things and return to Shanghai on April 28, 1925.
