Caer: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed, it's tier: I wear no mask
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) Noin Yellow, Act 1, Scene 2
Inside the quiet conference rooh the book quietly He did not jump to the last chapter immediately but started from the first, The Repairer of Reputation He encountered a Mr wang Erde in this chapter, a wicked gno down Ado… These narrations, the King of Yellow, The Yellow Sign, Hastur, they reminded Gu Jun heavily of the Yellow Brotherhood…
The second chapter The Mask, started with the snippet quoted above Even though this was an English novel, Gu Jun read at a speed that his English level should not have allowed Strangely enough, he found the ible The mask had different main characters but there was one similarity with the first chapter All the main characters lost theirin Yellow Reading through the pages, for some reason, Gu Jun could not help but take a deep breath as his head pounded
"Ji how stressed out his friend was, Sanders advised, "That's enough for now You better rest for a few more days first…"
"I'm fine" Gu Jun said firmly His brain pulsed with pain but compared to when he was inside the altar and his , it was like hts bounced in his mind, some kind of force must be behind this When he was still inside the sickroom, he noticed a situation, the ball of chaos in his mind had disappeared And now… this book had such close relation to the King in Yellow But of course, this could be another trickery by Nyarlathotep Just like how it hadthe final war, Phecda and Mysteriuaunt The Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan and the Nine Mysteriu in Yellow… And noas stuck in this state, reading a book entitled the King in Yellow, Gu Jun refused to believe this was a coincidence
'So did in or lose that last battle… Dirty-minded Yu, Yu Chi, Zixuan, Monitor, Ah Mei, Uncle Dan, Elder Tong, everyone, are they still alive?'
Gu Jun flipped through the other chapters before he finally arrived at the last chapter, Plague Doctor This chapter dominated most of the book, ratio-wise it was incredibly imbalanced, it was about ¾ of the whole book He noticed this chapter was the only one which had sub-chapters: Mutated Banyan, Mutated Dreah, Mutated Scale, Mutated Locust
Reading these, h Gu Jun's er caressed the paper, they felt rough under his touch He studied the na hie unknown prevented hi forward
"Who is this Robert W Chambers?" Gu Jun asked That was the book's author
"An unknoriter" Sanders answered "This book has been published for years already but only about 1000 copies of it were sold You borrowed a copy from Miskatonic University's library You were surprised how close this chapter mirrors your life You shared that discovery with your faht this was just another reading interest of yours, no one thought you'd be stuck so deep inside it… Jim, you have to understand that this is just a work of fiction It is not real The things that are described inside are not real but you are real"
Gu Jun stared at the name Robert W Chambers, he couldn't find the author's picture printed on the book jacket but he hoped that if there was a chance, he would like to ain perhaps this was another one of Nyarlathotep's disguises
