Plague Doctor

Jim Ku, Jim Gu, Gu Jun, also known as Jim Mazelvich, jimmazureicz

22 years old.

An Oriental orphan was adopted by a white couple from Arkham when he was 6 years old. From there, he came to this small town in Essex County, Massachusetts. Mazelvich and his wife 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 to study for an undergraduate degree in human biology.

Last year he applied for the clinical medicine major at Miskatonic University School of Medicine in Arkham and passed.

So Gu Jun returned to Arkham from New York and became a medical student at the University of Michigan, now in the second semester of his first year.

When it comes to Jim, everyone who knows him will praise him highly. Jem has been extremely smart since he was a child. Not only did he finish school earlier than others, he also showed talent in music and sports. Because the Mazelvich family is a middle-class family, they have enough financial ability to train Jem into a talent.

This orphan is also very ambitious. It can be said that he has risen to the top all the way. After graduating from the University of Michigan Medical School, he will become a doctor.

In Citiland, being a doctor is a very lucrative profession. There is no way for the middle class to escape, and it is possible to take a further step forward.

With a bright future, a harmonious family, young and handsome, cheerful and optimistic... No one would think that Jem would suddenly go crazy.

Therefore, his sudden onset of acute schizophrenia surprised everyone who knew about it, and they could not think of the reason. Doctors said it may be related to his childhood traumatic experience. Due to his severe condition and aggressive behavior after the onset of the disease, his family had to send him to Arkham Asylum.

In the past few days, Mazelvich and his wife came to visit every day, and they were heartbroken for their adopted son.

Gu Jun always listened to these statements first, completely listening to other people's stories without any memory or emotion.

In this small, prison-like ward, he met Mr. and Mrs. Mazelvich, two middle-aged people with good-natured faces. They showed him many photos, from when he was a child, to childhood, to adolescence, to his daily life. School graduation photos, prom photos, competition photos...

The couple appears constantly in the photos, smiling brightly with him, and Hanna Mazelvich...

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

But looking at photos of Hannah as a girl, it's completely consistent.

His sister didn't come that day. Hannah was working in the newspaper office. Not only was she too busy, but also because she didn't want to see her brother go crazy. Her spirit couldn't bear it.

These are the opinions brought by Mazelvich and his wife.

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

Citi has a compulsory hospitalization system for mentally ill patients, but not all mental patients are covered by this, but those who are in legal circumstances such as being physically dangerous or unable to take care of themselves. If the mentally ill person can take care of himself, is not a danger to the public, shows will, etc., coercion does not apply.

Gu Jun was not entirely clear about the laws of Citi, but he could never take chlorpromazine, haloperidol and other drugs.

That would make a normal person feel groggy all day long, which would make a normal person feel like he or she has a mental problem.

To his surprise, his request to restore his right to personal freedom and reputation received a positive response from the hospital, and he successfully met with a lawyer.

This is beyond the control of Mazelvich and his wife, and close relatives are not allowed to go against his wishes.

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

"I'm really not crazy."

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

This may be a parallel world, perhaps Nyarlathotep's trick, or perhaps the influence of that unknown force, but he is certainly not crazy.

"Jem..." Perry Sanders and Jem are acquaintances. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be his lawyer on the road to practice medicine. Now that this incident has happened, Sanders is also worried about the possibility of losing a client. Anxiously, "It doesn't matter if you rest here for a few days. The medical school will not affect you, and your privacy is also protected."

"Do you think I'm crazy?" Gu Jun asked, his expression calm, "Cognition, emotion, will, self-awareness... Which aspect is the problem?"

"Then do you think you are 'Gu Jun' or Jem Mazelvich?" Sanders also asked.

Gu Jun heard something strange. "Gu Jun" refers to him...him from Tianji World...

How much do these people know?

"What do you mean?" He asked first, pretending to be confused.

"Jim, the doctor asked me not to irritate you as much as possible. You shouldn't be stressed now."

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

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

"Everything." Sanders said sincerely, "Jim, you are too absorbed in reading... There is a book in which there is a chapter. The protagonist's name is exactly the same as your Chinese name, Jimku, Gu.

Jun is also a medical student and an orphan, and has a lot in common with you..."

Gu Jun frowned as he listened, a book?

"What book?" he asked, "Did you bring it? I want to see it."

Sanders was unwilling because this might be the stressor that caused his schizophrenia, and the doctor did not recommend that the patient be exposed to the book until he recovered.

However, Gu Jun insisted again and again, with his own strong will.

Sanders did bring the book with him. In the end, he couldn't resist the other party, so he took out a book from the black briefcase and put it on the table.

This is a large book. The brown leather cover has a very classic design, with light golden scrolled text and some strange mottled patterns on it.

Gu Jun reached out and took the book, looking at the title on the cover, the kinginyello, the king in yellow.

The author is robert.chambers, Robert Chambers

His heart suddenly felt a strange suffocating feeling. He turned over the cover and saw the table of contents. The book was divided into different chapters...

"The Man Who Repairs His Reputation", "The Mask", "The Garden of Dragons", "Yellow Talisman", "Flowers of Deis"

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

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

Love the Plague Doctor.
