Chapter 468: "The King in Yellow" [Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a subscription]
Camilla: What about you, sir, take off your mask.
Stranger: Really?
Cassida: Really, it's time. Except for you, we've all lost our disguises.
Stranger: I'm not wearing a mask.
Camilla (frightened, whispering to Cassida): Not wearing a mask? No mask! 】
- "The King in Yellow" Act 1, Scene 2
In the quiet meeting room, Gu Jun silently looked at the tome on the table.
He didn't go directly to the last chapter, but started with the first chapter, "The Man Who Repaired His Reputation". In this chapter, he sees "Mr. Wilde", a treacherous dwarf who conspires with the protagonist to destroy the Citi Kingdom and establish the empire of the Yellow King, and the protagonist with Hasta lineage will be crowned the Yellow King......
These statements, the King of the Yellow Coat, the Yellow Secret Talisman, and the Hasta, are completely the same as those of the Yellow Brotherhood......
And then there's the second installment, "The Mask," which opens with a script passage.
Gu Jun read very quickly, this is English, his English level was not enough to read so fluently, but the strange thing is that he can understand it completely now.
"The Mask" has different protagonists, different characters, but one thing is the same as the first chapter, the protagonists in it all lose their minds because they read a forbidden book called "The King in Yellow", and finally go to extinction.
Reading the content of this page and page of the story, for some reason, Gu Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mind was a little swollen.
"Jem......" Perry Sanders saw his strange appearance and persuaded again, "That's it, right?" You rest for a few more days first......"
"I'm fine." Gu Jun sighed, his head was very swollen and painful, but compared to when he was in the altar space, compared to the many moments he had experienced, this pain was almost like scratching, and it could also be said that it was not worse than being bitten by a mosquito.
He had a lot of messy thoughts in his head, and there must be some force behind this.
As early as in the hospital room, he noticed a situation where the shattering force in his brain seemed to be gone.
Now, there is this book, which seems to be inseparable from the king in yellow......
However, it could also be a mockery of Nyaratotip.
Gu Jun thought about it like mocking the Isis people, in order to imitate and mock them humans. At that time, in the final decisive battle, the Heavenly Machine Bureau and the Mysterious Bureau were both summoning and driving Baiaki, he and Yu Chi summoned and drove the Little Dire, and the source of power of the "Seven Secret Classics of the Earth" and "Nine Mysterious Nine Techniques" were all the kings of the yellow clothes......
Now that he is in this situation, how can it be a coincidence that he is reading this "The King in Yellow".
In that decisive battle, did we lose or win......
Xianyu, Yu Chi, Zixuan, squad leader, Ah Mei, Uncle Dan, Tongye, everyone, are you still alive......
Gu Jun flipped through the other chapters, and finally turned to the last chapter of the book, The Plague Doctor,
This chapter takes up most of the book, and it's a sloppy proportion, taking up about three-quarters of the book.
He then found that there were different subdivisions in this chapter:
Different banyans, different dreams, different coughs, different scales, different locusts
Looking at these, Gu Jun had many memory images rushing in front of him, and he knew what these nouns represented behind them.
The fingers gently rubbed against the paper, giving it a rough grain touch.
He stared at the list of chapters, and he didn't open it for a long time, and in his heart, there was also a sense of discouragement from this weird unknown.
"Who is this Robert W. Chambers?" Gu Jun asked, this is marked as the author of "The King in Yellow".
"A writer who is not well-known." Perry Sanders replied to what was known, "It's been a few years since the book was published, and only a thousand copies have been printed, and there has been no response. You borrowed it from the U-M Library, and you were amazed at how much this chapter coincidented with you, and you shared it with your family and friends, but everyone thought it was just an ordinary anecdote, and they didn't expect you to fall into such a deep ...... Jem, you have to be clear that this is just a book, not real, it's who is yourself. ”
Gu Jun looked at the name of Robert W. Chambers, the front and back of the book were not printed with the author's photo, maybe there was a chance to meet this guy......
Perhaps, this is another incarnation of Nyaratotip.
After a pause, finally, Gu Jun still opened the chapter of the banyan and read it.
Jun Gu, an eight-year student majoring in clinical medicine at Dongzhou University School of Medicine, is an orphan with a brainstem tumor......
"......" Gu Jun's breath became heavier, his brows furrowed and he didn't let loose, looking at the words on this page, the past was vivid.
In the book, not everything is written, but the "Gu Jun" in it is him, his experience, and his life......
After reading more than a dozen pages in a row, my head became more and more swollen and tingling, my heart was about to suffocate, and the strength of my body seemed to be draining.
In fact, it doesn't need to be Nyaratotip, even if it is an Is, who is only an observer, going back and forth in time and space, he can know what happened, and make up a story about those things, and write the words he said into lines, it is not impossible......
Is it Gu Jun who got here?
Or is it Gu Jun in the parallel world who sees another Gu Jun?
Or is there another Gu Jun who doesn't exist, it's really just a story......
"Jem, it's time to stop!" Sanders hurriedly called, "Your face is very bad, don't be reckless in this kind of thing, it's not necessary." ”
"Don't make noise...... Gu Jun suddenly stopped, glared at the other party, and muttered again: "How many times have I said it, I'm not crazy." ”
He went directly to the end of the locust chapter, and saw the last paragraph:
"I know what I've done. Gu Jun sat upright, stared at his face, and told them heavily: "I'm saving people, I'm not crazy." ”】
Gu Jun's head ached, it was in the interrogation room, his S value was only 51, and the interrogators assessed whether he was insane, so they blew up the otherworldly passage.
51, Wu Shiyu......
He shook his head, interrupted his thoughts, and continued to turn the pages of the book, turning to the ending of the Dream Chapter, [I wish everyone a good dream. 】
These sentences, which truly recorded the past, smashed into Gu Jun's heart like a hammer, making his spirit really start to be in a trance......
He couldn't help but turn the book more and more frantically, he calmed down, slowed down, slowed down, but he quickly turned to the end of the book.
There is a prayer that is piercing on the last line of the page.
【“I?! Shabu Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gave birth to thousands of children and grandchildren! ”】
And then, and then...... Gu Jun took a deep breath, his fingers rubbed the paper, there were still the last few pages of this "King in Yellow".
I don't know what is recorded, I don't know if it's true or not.
However, in this book, there is always an ending to this article.
Gu Jun slowly turned the page and looked at it again.
