At this moment, Gu Jun was inside the iron cage, standing next to the human body tree.
It was not that he was without psychological pressure. The tight feeling caused by the iron cage and the huge feeling of the human tree were oppressing the nerves in his whole body, making him want to take a deep breath.
But Gu Jun didn't. It was definitely a bad idea to take deep breaths in the cage. He took a few breaths and already felt like he was falling into a pool of formalin.
Professor Qin and the others were staring. Gu Jun knew that he could not be cowardly and continued to carefully observe the human body tree in front of him. There was a black liquid under the skin of these twisted corpses that was more obvious than that of the bulky teachers. The patches were the color of dead trees. There were no corpses.
It has spots, but it is definitely the weirdest and most filthy skin he has ever seen.
But he thought, if this strange shape was alive, and these black liquids were circulating back and forth like river water, it would be a scene of very strong vitality.
Gu Jun looked at a head on the "trunk of the tree" again, and its lifeless eyes were almost at eye level with him.
Or should I say, eyeballs.
The cornea of the eyeball is so cloudy that the pupil can no longer be seen.
But he felt that something was staring at him through these eyes from the dark abyss.
"..." Gu Jun suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, and then it became stronger. He wanted to reach out and touch the human body tree...
Seeing Gu Jun slowly raise his hand, the students from various schools around him were worried, what is this guy going to do?
At this moment, the eyes that Gu Jun was facing suddenly seemed to come to life. He was not sure if the pupils he saw were converging or not, but he clearly saw that the head's mouth was slightly opening, and he suddenly hissed.
Hissing sound!
The sound is not caused by the airflow causing the vocal cords to vibrate, but the sound caused by the friction and squeezing of the vocal cords, throat, oral cavity, nasal cavity and other vocal organs.
Hoarse and low, but clearly identifiable: "Help, help me..."
Gu Jun's heart was suffocated, his hand raised in the air trembled, and he almost took a few steps back, but he suppressed this instinctive panic. He could hold it back, because he had only heard this sound yesterday.
In that call to Gurong Village...
But suddenly, other heads on the human body tree also moved together, and dozens of long-dead faces burst into wild and ugly wails: "I'm not dead..." "Ah, no!" "It hurts..."
"Save me!" "Why..."
All the howls rushed into his ears like a storm, and Gu Jun's body froze a little uncontrollably.
Was there really only one villager on the other end of the phone yesterday?
"Ah!!!" The seats around the venue immediately erupted in chaotic screams. Many students were paralyzed in their seats with fear, and many students jumped up in fear. Part of their sanity was permanently engulfed by this scene. Waiting
Waking up from a nightmare.
The judging panel paid attention to the surroundings. These students who were too scared to control themselves were kicked out. Maybe they will become tenacious after adapting, but the department does not need them yet, and hope that the situation will never be serious enough to need them. So
After one round of screening, less than one-tenth of the students are still eligible to be selected.
As for the teachers and professors, although they were still calm, they were not considered by the department from the beginning.
Because the department needs young people, young talents have enough plasticity. Moreover, many ordinary positions also need these teachers.
Professor Qin has been looking at Gu Jun, paying attention to his every move.
At this time, the entire human body tree suddenly made a sharp and harsh sound that was ten times more harsh!
This scream from hell seemed to melt the entire stadium into pieces.
"Ghost, ghost..." More students were frightened, and a few even broke down and cried.
When some animals see a tiger, even if they have never seen a tiger before, even if it is a fake ragdoll tiger, they will be very frightened and panicked and just want to run away. This is fear engraved in their genes. Now this
The sound is that of a tiger, and humans are those animals. Everyone cannot understand it, they only feel panic and fear.
"Huh." Gu Jun still took a deep breath to adjust his breathing, so as not to let his instinctive fear knock him down.
However, his conscious mind thought so, but his subconscious mind obviously didn't. His body was stiff and he couldn't move... What should he do?
From the corner of his eye, he saw Professor Qin and the others looking calm and collected. He definitely didn't expect him to pass this test. They were a bunch of sadists.
"Even if I are allowed in, there should be no real danger." Gu Jun thought, calming himself down, digesting and thinking, "And there are ways to deal with it. Why did the human body tree suddenly make a sound? What's different? I left.
Did you come in? There should be some kind of trigger here..."
The more afraid you are, the less you can escape.
As Gu Jun thought, he looked again at the pair of cloudy eyes on the human body tree, and then at the eyes of other heads.
Under the pressure brought by those howls, he felt that he noticed small changes in these eyes, and his pupils became dilated...
Under normal circumstances, the human cornea will become turbid due to loss of water after death. The longer the death time, the more turbid it will be, until the pupil cannot be seen. This is an irreversible corpse phenomenon. Forensic doctors can determine based on the degree of corneal turbidity.
Estimate time of death.
Even shortly after death, because the smooth muscles have become relaxed, the pupils can no longer constrict or dilate, and will only be medium in size.
But now these dead people of the human body tree... seem to be alive again.
Did I wake them up? Gu Jun's desire to touch the human body tree just now came back to him, or were they calling me?
Give it a try. He stared for a moment, then raised his hand again. This time he did not stop, but stretched out to close the eyelids of this face. The orbicularis oculi muscle was very tight, and there was an abnormality.
The force was so strong that he needed to exert force to stroke it.
As soon as the eyelids are closed, the head quickly calms down.
It turned out that this was the case. Gu Jun continued to close his other eyes and silently said sorry to them: I can't save you, please rest in peace.
"Huh." This is not the scene that the judges imagined. You look at me and I look at you, and there is a surprise.
This kid behaved like this for the first time when he faced the human body tree. He was calm and rational. It’s so rare! He may have really found a treasure this time.
As the howling gradually weakened, the students all saw Gu Jun's response clearly, and they were suddenly inspired. The screams around them stopped... Everyone gritted their teeth and regrouped their spirits. Wasn't it a fake corpse?
Well, there is nothing to be afraid of, medical dogs have nothing to fear!
"Well..." Professor Qin watched Gu Jun close all the eyes on the head that he could reach, and he felt a little more satisfied in his heart. He didn't know about the medical skills, but the psychological quality of this young man.
Very good, "Classmate Gu, stop, it's okay, you can come out."
Squeaking, the staff stepped forward and opened the cage door.
Gu Jun glanced at the human body tree again before walking out steadily. As soon as he left, the heads that had not closed their eyes gradually stopped wailing.
When Gu Jun walked out of the iron cage, the audience suddenly burst into applause. Many students from Qingdao University, Jihua Medical University... many students from various major schools spontaneously applauded Gu Jun. Of course, the students from Dongda University applauded their own people even more and walked back to their seats.
Gu Jun is like a hero returning in triumph.
"Tuhaojun, you are really good this time."
"You are so calm."
Gu Jun returned to his seat in response to the praises of everyone. Professor Gu gave him a thumbs up. Xu Hai, Zhang Haoran and He Yuhan were very excited to worship him. The three of them were scared just now. He simply saved his life.
Their damn lives.
But it wasn't until he sat down in his seat that Gu Jun's nerves relaxed slightly. The horror and unique beauty of the deformed human body were still lingering in his heart...
He was still thinking about the meaning of that howl. Maybe it had no meaning at all, maybe it was just that humans couldn't understand it.
"Hao Jun." Cai Zixuan said with emotion from the side, "You walking into the iron cage reminds me of Zhao Zilong walking up the long board slope."
Wang Ruoxiang, who was sitting on the other side of him, patted him and asked, "Actually, were you feeling panicky just now?" She noticed that he was still a little nervous, and it was a deliberate joke.
"No." Gu Jun smiled self-deprecatingly, "But there were two batches of panic." Thank you, monitor, I'm fine.
On the other side, Professor Qin did not rush him away. After the applause from the audience fell, he explained seriously: "Dear students, you didn't hit a ghost just now. It was this kind of creature in the cage. Let's call it a creature for the time being. That's when it died."
