Chapter 176 The shadow on the second floor asks for a monthly pass]
The dark sky was drenched with heavy rain. Just as Gu Jun was about to step out of the door of the ancient house, he saw the young guard nervously picking up an instrument that looked like a long fork. He didn't recognize the thing, but he knew what he was doing.
Go out and a fight is inevitable.
At this moment, many thoughts and considerations flashed through Gu Jun's mind, but finally he retracted his foot and stopped Wu Shiyu.
What if this conflict is the enemy's goal?
Judging from the diary, the young caretaker finally came to the dream world through a dream. At that time, the caretaker had transformed into a ghoul. After entering, he may have reunited with Mr. Galder and other ghouls.
, it is very likely that I will never leave again...
If the scene in front of me is not a simple illusion, is that the guardian? Are you awake now?
Or do you think "Mr. Garder" is delirium? Patients with nightmare syndrome can experience delirium.
"Sir, please go back to the house." The young man in charge of the caretaker earnestly advised, "You need more rest."
"I hope you know what you are doing." After Gu Jun said this, he turned around and walked back, saying to Wu Shiyu, "Let's search the house first and then deal with him."
The sound of rain became louder, and the two walked up to the second floor again. This time they went to the right corridor to explore. There was also a room with an open door at the end. It should be a study room. A row of bookshelves were filled with books and scrolls.
Gu Jun took a book and flipped through it. It was blank. Every page in it was blank. The same was true for Wu Shiyu.
He took another one and looked at it, but it was all blank... Books were thrown on the floor one after another, and it soon became messy. He looked through all the books and papers here, and only found blanks. He then put the desk and
All the bookcases were overturned, making a loud bang on the floor, but nothing was found.
Why? Gu Jun frowned and thought, "Because this is not the original location of Wosang Town in the alien world? Maybe it's just a projection? It's just the appearance?"
What is filled with words in the waking world becomes blank.
There were two closed rooms in the corridors on both sides. Gu Jun made a decision, "Shigure, you stay over there in the hall, pay attention to the stairs, and pay attention to whether there are any changes outside, especially the caretaker. I will open these rooms and take a look.
."
"Yes." Wu Shiyu responded and walked away with a kerosene lamp. He stood at the entrance of the corridor, and the light could barely illuminate it.
The four rooms from right to left are divided into numbers 1 to 4. Gu Jun held the door handle of the gray-brown wooden door of room 1 and twisted it. It was locked and could not be opened.
Is the key hidden somewhere in the house? Even if it is, he doesn't intend to look for it, because he happens to have a master key in his hand.
"Ah!" Gu Jun raised the long knife with both hands and struck hard at the door lock area, bang, bang!
The wooden door was not particularly thick. He chopped it hard and created a gap. After breaking off the door lock, he kicked the door open.
The weak light penetrated inside and pierced the heavy shadows. It was an empty room, but Gu Jun's heart suddenly felt horrified. He saw a humanoid figure squatting in the dark corner... Before he could see clearly, the figure appeared.
He stood up suddenly and rushed out, screaming something wildly.
In an instant, the figure rushed forward, and Gu Jun almost instinctively struck with his knife!
However, it was just shot into the air, and the figure disappeared as soon as it rushed out of the room...
I just don't know why, but he feels that the figure is a bit familiar, is it an illusion?
"Shiyu?" Gu Jun looked over there. Wu Shiyu turned to look back, but his face was very calm. He asked, "Didn't you hear the sharp scream just now?"
"What scream? Yours?" She asked in confusion, "I heard you screaming while knocking on the door."
"Then you just didn't hear it." Gu Jun said seriously. Can only the person who opened the door see it? What on earth is that?
"No, what's wrong? There's nothing going on here. The guard is still looking over, looking quite nervous."
"The room is empty, but there is a ghost..." Gu Jun said as he walked towards room No. 2, raised his long knife and chopped down the wooden door again, bang, bang!
Not long after, the muscles in his arms began to feel a little sore from the split. Although this was a dream world, they entered in a physical way. The body function was the same as in the waking world, and he was already covered in sweat.
He broke the door lock and kicked it. Looking through the dim light, he saw another empty room, and in a corner, there was another blurry figure.
Almost as soon as the light shone in, the figure rushed over screaming, the scream was very crazy, but there seemed to be no fear, as if he had been trapped in the darkness for countless hours, so long that he had no idea what to do.
Fear was forgotten, only complete madness remained.
Gu Jun felt a chill in his heart. He seemed to see that the withered and frantic face of this figure was... Yang Jianming? The patient with the advanced nightmare disease?
When he first returned to Dongzhou, Professor Qin explained to him the pathology of nightmare disease. The late-stage patient he saw was Yang Jianming. At that time, Yang Jianming had fallen into delirium and was unconscious. Later, he received experimental treatment of lobotomy.
However, he died of multiple organ failure 18 hours after the operation.
Why does it look like it’s Yang Jianming?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Jun heard the sharp scream more clearly, "Doctor Gu! It's you, you messed up my brain!"
Before he could swing the long knife, the figure rushed out of the room and disappeared...
"Shigure?" Gu Jun turned around and asked again, "Did you hear it?"
"No, it's still the same." Wu Shiyu shook his head, his face no longer just calm, but a little nervous, "Is there another ghost?"
"Yeah..." Gu Jun looked at this empty room. Is this just an illusion? No, there is no pure illusion in the dream world. That is Yang Jianming. Yang Jianming's spirit was sucked into the dream world and was locked up here? Are other patients the same?
His heart became colder and colder, and he felt slightly confused. Was that the figure in Room 1 just now?
Fuzzy, shapeless... But why does it feel like it's Professor Qin? Is that part of Professor Qin's spirit that was sucked away?
But there are only four rooms here. Even if there is one upstairs, it can't hold so many patients... No, this ancient house reappeared after it burned down. Doesn't it still have countless overlaps? This is a cage.
, a place that locks away the patient’s soul?
All those souls make the spiritual power of this ancient house stronger...
"Xianjun, you look very scary." Wu Shiyu said urgently, "It's your turn to stop, don't get sick yet!"
Gu Jun looked at her, looking at her figure standing in front of the window, and suddenly felt a chill. Why did it look like that black shadow...
If he went downstairs and walked out now, wouldn't the guard see Mr. Galder and the dark figure on the second floor?
Confusion, confusion filled his mind...
That diary, that diary... He suddenly felt something. He opened the caretaker's diary in his mind and looked through it, only to see an extra page written in the middle:
[It rained suddenly that night, and this weather made everything worse.
Mr. Galder suddenly wanted to walk out of the house. He was holding a knife in his hand and talking nonsense. He looked very scary. I think he was beginning to have symptoms of delirium. Poor Mr. Galder, he is always so...
He is personable and polite to everyone. He really doesn't deserve this.
Not long after I was persuaded to go back inside, I heard some heavy banging sounds coming from the second floor, which could not be covered up by the heavy rain.
The strange thing is that Mr. Galder is clearly the only one left in the room, and I see his figure always behind the second floor window.]
