After reading the last paragraph of "The King in Yellow-Plague Doctor", Gu Jun didn't speak for a long time.
Xian Yu, Zixuan, and monitor all survived. But Director Si Kou, Feng Wei, many people...
He finally let out a long sigh, let's move on, but in the end, he still didn't know what happened to the huge meatball that turned the sky in Mobei into a dark forest. It wasn't written in the book, and it wasn't mentioned. Exploded? Disappeared? Or is it still stuck there
Shab Nicholas…
A being as powerful as Nyarlathotep...
There are many thoughts and feelings that Gu Jun needs to sort out.
In front of Perry-Sanders and others, he did not insist that he is Gu Jun in the book. If this is a trick, let's play it.
Of course he had to find his way home. Nyarlathotep could fail once or twice.
According to Kezia Mason, defeating Nyarlathotep is what it really wants.
Saunders repeatedly persuaded Gu Junxian to recuperate here, but he insisted that Saunders help him get out of here, and then he left the meeting room and returned to the cramped small ward. The next time the nurse came to deliver the medicine, Gu Jun still didn't swallow those little pills, which gave the nurse a headache.
But other than that, Gu Jun behaved very calmly, and the doctor cooperated in rounds and various examinations.
But in his heart, he has an unshakable persistence.
The Stanford prison experiment shows that the environment can gradually change a person's personality, and the situation can immediately change a person's behavior.
Once he really enters the role of a mental patient, enters the situation where he goes crazy and is treated in a hospital, and then he is influenced by other people, it doesn't take many days for him to really have mental problems.
Therefore, Gu Jun no matter how he cooperates with the doctors and nurses, or how he negotiates.
But I insisted not to take medicine, and stubbornly insisted in my heart that I was fine.
He told himself over and over again, "I'm not crazy, I'm really Gu Jun."
In fact, there is a way to get evidence, using old seals and spells.
But when Gu Jun thought about it again, and felt that maybe this was a step he had fallen into the trap—he used old seals or chanted spells, but found that he didn’t have the same feeling as before, and it didn’t have any effect, then he would be pushed by self-doubt. abyss.
Now that my body can become like this, without severed fingers, peek skulls, or scars.
It's not impossible that the old seals and spells can't be played out.
For three days, Gu Jun just slept, sat on the hospital bed thinking, did fitness exercises, and waited for the lawyer to complete the formalities.
On the fourth day of his waking, April 8th of this world, Cem Mazelwitch's eighth day in Arkham Asylum, he was released.
When I came in, I didn't have any luggage, so when I left, I was empty-handed.
Gu Jun just changed out of his hospital clothes and wore the same outfit that Jem had when he came in, red jacket, jeans, and sneakers.
At this time, he walked side by side with Sanders in the corridor of the compulsory inpatient ward area. This is not the first time he has walked through this corridor, but every time the surroundings are very quiet. It seems that there are no patients in each ward, but The iron door of the ward was closed tightly, and there seemed to be a dangerous atmosphere.
Arkham is not an easy place, and Arkham Asylum probably isn't.
In the waiting hall outside the ward area, Gu Jun saw the Mazelvic couple again, the adoptive parents of this body.
Bob Mazelvic, a fat middle-aged man with a simple face, runs a small supermarket in Arkham. From what Gu Jun said to Sanders, he heard that Bob is a kind-hearted person who has nothing to contend with in the community. He always does all kinds of good things, including adopting orphans, and has treated Jem as his own for many years.
And Janet Mazelvic, a middle-aged woman, the proprietress of the supermarket, is also a good person, but she is more tactful than her husband, and she is usually the one who makes decisions in the family.
"Jun." As soon as the couple saw the adopted son, they called him by his nickname and walked up quickly.
Although the adopted son could be discharged from the hospital through legal channels, the two were still very nervous about his condition and kept asking how he was doing.
"I have some amnesia." Gu Jun told them, "This is the only problem. The doctor said to recover slowly."
For these two people, no matter how good they looked, he was naturally vigilant in his heart.
He knew nothing about the Mazelvics. There must be a reason why he came to this family.
Gu Jun looked around, "Where's my sister?"
Now he has two clues, one is "The King in Yellow" and the other is Hannah Mazelvic. Is she Kezia Mason
"Hannah's still busy," Janet replied, "and we have an appointment for dinner with her."
Gu Jun nodded calmly, no matter how busy he was, he could still find time. He hadn't visited him once in many days, so how could they be siblings who had a good relationship.
Hannah Mazelvic, 24 years old, a graduate of a journalism degree from Miskatonic University, is now working as a reporter for the "Arkham Candide" newspaper.
He inquired from Saunders that Hannah was a very smart person with excellent academic performance. After she graduated from high school, she could have been admitted to more famous universities such as Harvard University and Stanford University, but in the end she chose because it was close to home. The local Michigan University.
But in this world, Miskatonic University is not bad.
miskatoniiversity, which is also a member of Citigroup's Ivy League, also has a long history and also enjoys a high reputation in the world.
In Massachusetts, the University of Michigan and Harvard are the two most popular universities for children of older upper-class families.
The University of Michigan is famous for its library collection, which ranks among the top universities in the world, and it is rumored that there are many mysterious books.
The first time Jem Mazelvich read the book "The King in Yellow" was in the University of Michigan library.
Gu Jun also knew another situation. The "The King in Yellow" that Sanders gave him before was not the one from the University of Michigan, but later bought by Sanders from the Internet, and the copy from the University of Michigan is still there. University of Michigan Library. He didn't know if the content in that book was the same.
When he walked out of the gate of Arkham Mental Hospital, Gu Jun looked back.
He now knows that this old mental hospital was built in the nineteenth century, so it is in the British Victorian architectural style.
At that time, this kind of place was to isolate mental patients from normal people. The divergent layout originated from prison buildings was adopted, and the building space was arranged divergently from the center to the surroundings. It was composed of multiple wingspans, and there was an open space outside , looking quite gloomy.
When he was walking on the road, he didn't see patients in hospital gowns letting out the wind, only some guards and white coats, wearing tight masks, with calm eyes.
Gu Jun has a feeling that one day he will come back here to have a look.
But now, he, Sanders, Bob, and Janet sat in a black five-seater car, and Bob drove the car to leave the mental hospital.
