Jim Ku, Jem Gu, Gu Jun, also known as Jem Mazelvich, Jim Mazurewicz

22 years old.

An Oriental orphan who was adopted by a white couple from Arkham when he was 6 years old brought him to this small town in Essex County, Massachusetts, Citi Nation. Mr. and Mrs. Mazelvich also have a biological daughter, his sister Hannah Mazelvich, who is two years older than him.

After arriving in Arkham, Gu Jun lived here until a few years ago, when he went to New York University in New York City to study for an undergraduate degree in human biology.

Last year, he applied for a degree in clinical medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of Miskatonic University in Arkham.

As a result, Gu Jun returned to Arkham from New York and became a medical student at U-M, now studying in the second semester of his first year.

When it comes to Jem, anyone who knows him will praise him. Jem was brilliant from an early age, not only did he finish his studies earlier than others, but he also showed talent in music and sports, because Mazelvich's family was middle-class and had enough financial means to train Jem to become a talent.

This orphan is also competitive enough, it can be said that he has risen all the way, and after graduating from Mi-M School of Medicine, he will be a doctor.

In Citigroup, doctors are a very lucrative profession, the middle class is gone, and it is possible to go one step further.

has a bright future, a harmonious family, young and handsome, cheerful and optimistic...... No one would have thought that Jem would suddenly go insane.

Therefore, his sudden acute schizophrenia this time surprised everyone in the know, and they couldn't think of the reason, and the doctor said that it might be related to his traumatic childhood experience. Due to his severe and aggressive nature, his family had to take him to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital.

In the past few days, Mr. and Mrs. Mazervich have come to visit every day, and they are sad for this adopted son.

For these statements, Gu Jun listened first, completely listening to other people's stories, without any memory and emotional fluctuations.

In this small prison-like ward, he met Mr. and Mrs. Mazervich, two middle-aged men with good faces, and they showed him many photographs of him since he was a child, from childhood, adolescence, daily life, school graduation, proms, competitions......

The figure of the couple is constantly seen in the photo, with him all smiling brightly, as well as Hannah Mazelvich......

Gu Jun found that the woman in the photo looked exactly like Kezia Mason, but she was more mature.

But if you look at the photos of Hannah as a girl, it is exactly the same.

His sister didn't come that day, and Hannah worked at the newspaper, in addition to being too busy, but also because she didn't want to watch her brother go crazy, and her spirit couldn't bear it.

These are the statements brought by the Mazerwicz.

"I want to see my lawyer." Gu Jun proposed to the couple and the hospital, "I asked for a new mental examination, and I am not crazy." ”

Citi has a compulsory inpatient treatment system for the mentally ill, but not all mentally ill persons are within this scope, but mentally ill persons who are in danger of being physically present or unable to take care of themselves under statutory circumstances. Coercion does not apply if the mentally ill person is able to take care of himself, is not a danger to the public, shows will, etc.

Gu Jun doesn't fully understand Citigroup's laws, but he must no longer take drugs such as chlorpromazine and haloperidol.

That would make a normal person groggy all day long, not mentally problematic, but like mentally problematic.

To his surprise, his request for the restoration of his right to personal liberty and reputation was met with a positive response from the hospital, and he successfully met with a lawyer.

This is something that the Mazervich couple cannot interfere with, and the close relatives must not go against his will.

If this was a trick, Gu Jun would like to see what was going on.

"I'm not crazy."

In a simple meeting room, with no visible surveillance cameras and no one else, Mr. Gu said to Perry Sanders, a middle-aged lawyer sitting across the table.

It may be a parallel world, or it may be a trick of Nyarrathotep, or it may be the influence of an unknown force, but he is certainly not crazy.

"Jem......" Perry Sanders and Jem are acquaintances, if there is no accident, he will also be his lawyer on the road to practicing medicine, and now that this incident has happened, Sanders is also anxious about the possible loss of a client, "It's okay if you rest here for a few days, the medical school side is not affected, and your privacy is also protected." ”

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Gu Jun asked, his expression calm, "Knowledge, emotion, will, self-knowledge...... What's the problem? ”

"Then do you consider yourself 'Gu Jun' or Jem Mazelvich?" Sanders asked, too.

Gu Jun heard a strange meaning, "Gu Jun" refers to him...... He ...... in the world of heavenly machines

How much do these people know?

"What do you mean?" He probed first, pretending to be ignorant.

"Jem, the doctor told me not to irritate you as much as possible, you shouldn't stress now."

Sanders sighed, his eyes full of embarrassment under his glasses, "You have a clear mind, but you're still stuck in a big fantasy...... Your parents, your sister, and I all want to help you get out of your fantasies, and we want that Jem Mazelvich. ”

"Fantasy?" Gu Jun asked again, "What fantasy?" How much do you know? ”

"All." Sanders said in a sincere tone, "Jem, you're too involved in reading...... There is a book with a chapter in it, and the name of the protagonist is exactly the same as your Chinese name, JimKu, Gu Jun, who is also a medical student and an orphan, has a lot in common with you......"

Gu Jun listened and frowned, a book?

"What book?" He asked, "Did you bring it?" I'm going to see. ”

Sanders was reluctant because it might be the stressor that caused him to schizophrenia, and doctors did not advocate revisiting the book until the patient recovered.

However, Gu Jun repeatedly insisted, with his own strong will.

Sanders did carry the book, but in the end, he couldn't resist the other party, so he took a book out of his black briefcase and put it on the table.

It is a tome, with a classic brown leather cover, with faint golden rolling gold text and some strange mottling.

Gu Jun stretched out his hand and pulled the book, and looked at the title of the book on the cover, THEKINGINYELLOW, the king in yellow

The author is Bers, Robert W. Chambers

His heart suddenly felt a strange feeling of suffocation, and he flipped over the cover in his hand, and then saw the table of contents, the book was divided into different chapters......

"The Man Who Restores Honor", "The Mask", "The Court of the Dragon", "The Yellow Talisman", "The Flower of Deis"

"The Prophet's Kingdom", "Street of the Four Winds", "The First Cannonball Falls", "Our Lady Street", "The Girl on the Fence Road"

He saw that at the end of the catalog, there was another chapter, "Doctor Plague".
