There was the hoarse cry of the night crow, and heavy shadows swayed in the deep forest.
The dark night sky, mottled rocks, withered leaves, and a pool of stagnant water in the forest with some green algae floating on it. Next to it, there is a rotten tree trunk lying down. From its thick outline, you can see that this rotten tree trunk is
The tree was once a big tree with lush branches and leaves.
It looked like an oak tree.
"I, why am I here..."
Next to the small pool, Gu Jun looked around in confusion and covered his head that was in severe pain. Is this an illusion? A dream? No, it doesn't look like...
He is really here, he can feel it.
"What's going on? Xianyu and I returned to the Dongzhou base and went to the psychiatric building to see the child named Zhong Huili. Then... Xiao Huili had a seizure and cursed at me. I had a headache and my whole body twitched.
It’s a stress reaction, maybe…and then…”
Some intermittent and chaotic memory scenes flashed before Gu Jun's eyes. He murmured to himself, shouted to himself, and pushed away the people who were blocking him... He told the anxious Wu Shiyu not to follow, and told Cai Zixuan and the others not to follow.
Don't even follow me...
"Am I acutely insane... agitated? Manic?"
His heart sank. It was very possible that his current physical and mental conditions were different from before.
There are biological changes in his brain, and his mood has always been in a state of ups and downs recently, as if he has a PTSD attack at any time...
And this time, perhaps there was also the spiritual influence of that strange curse.
"Where is this?"
Gu Jun looked at the hazy surroundings, which were filled with dead trees and branches, lifeless.
He has no doubt that such a place is the haunt of dark forces and their followers. Perhaps it is here, surrounded by this pool of stagnant water that exudes the stench of corruption, that those evil believers are performing some unknown ritual in the dark,
The hands of sin reach out to those innocent children.
He searched for himself and found that there was no cell phone, walkie-talkie or other things, but he was still carrying the backpack. There were not many things in it, the five Carlop dissection instruments, Xianyu's watercolor painting... there was nothing to give.
Contact him with the outside world, or let him figure out where this is.
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the forest, I could see the dark night sky without stars. When the branches and leaves were swayed by the cold wind, the dark clouds remained heavy and motionless.
Gu Jun stood there for a long time, still not moving, listening attentively around him. There were strange and chaotic sounds in the mountains and forests, but there was no call...
"I should have run away from the Medical Department base and fled into the surrounding mountains and fields. But in that case, there is no way I haven't been found by anyone yet. There are surveillance, sentry, and patrol teams everywhere around the base, and I can
How fast are you running? Find a police dog and catch up in no time..."
Gu Jun didn't think that the others really listened to his words and didn't chase after him, and the environment here wasn't like that of the base.
"Ah..." His head suddenly cracked and hurt, and some memory fragments flashed through him.
In his mind, he seemed to hear everyone exclaiming, "Be careful, be careful!" Wu Shiyu rushed to pull him, but he pushed him away. He seemed to have... used a spell to summon something. Was it the "Seven Secrets of the Earth"?
, the Great Night Dire, the entity of the Fifth Secret... Byaki?
This is his guess, because he has seen the text copy of the fifth secret, but has not read the secret code, and he has not practiced to that level.
There was no memory image to confirm his guess. He just seemed to summon some strange creature and then flew away from the base.
Could that be some kind of foreign spell? Gu Jun was at a loss, not sure this was near the base, or even actually in Dongzhou.
"How can I still use spells? My mental strength is obviously in shambles now... But when a person falls into madness, it is another state."
Gu Jun was thinking when suddenly a strong wind blew by, and the trees and weeds everywhere rustled. He turned his head and looked around, as if he saw a figure running through the forest over there. He frowned, looked around, and then looked towards
In the pool, apart from the reflection, there seemed to be some rotten flesh like rotting mud...
Just standing here was not an option. He looked for footprints in the soil under his feet to see if he could find the direction he came from.
But it seems... that the alien creature landed here, and the rotten flesh was what it exploded.
In the cold night wind, there was a faint, tinkling, tinkling sound... the sound of a piano.
"Piano, how can there be a piano in this barren mountain and countryside...Have I arrived at the place where the enemy wants me to come..."
Is this an invitation?
"Who are you?" Gu Jun asked softly, taking out the Carlop scalpel and holding it in his hand.
The sound of the piano is getting clearer and clearer, and the melody is very beautiful and sweet, as if it is the quiet words spoken by this mountain forest.
But Gu Jun concentrated his attention to prevent himself from being immersed in the sound of the piano. He walked in the opposite direction to the sound of the piano and walked into the gloomy mountain forest. However, after walking for more than ten meters on the rotten black soil, he felt that the piano sounded different from the sound of the piano.
The sound got closer...
He immediately turned around and walked in the other direction, but after walking for a short distance, the sound of the piano was still getting closer and closer.
When he tried all directions with the water pool as the midpoint, he was sure that the sound of the piano was like a ghost, following him like a shadow.
Gu Jun knew that this was his territory, and no matter which way he went or what he did, it would not affect the approaching sound of the piano.
He walked just as he felt, ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps... The sound of the piano resounded through the forest. He walked out of the dense forest and arrived at an open forest. In front of him were some ancient and huge oak trees, twisting and falling to the ground.
The branches formed a grotesque and grotesque scene. It was an oak forest.
Just over there, next to an oak tree, there is an old black piano covered with moss, and a figure is sitting in front of the piano.
Gu Jun's eyes suddenly condensed. What is that thing? Is it a human being...
The figure was only covered in ragged rags, and its whole body was swollen like a giant's corpse. Only one of its hands was as withered as bones, and its slender fingers were constantly playing on the piano keys. From the outline structure, it really looked like
It's a human being, an old male.
At this time, the figure slowly glanced this way. His face was as old and swollen as a corpse, and his eyes were full of pain.
Gu Jun felt chills in his heart. The more he listened to this piece of music, the more he felt that the style was very similar to some of the Mozart pieces he had listened to in the past few days...
His head felt a sharp pain again, and he heard a female voice laughing softly in the forest.
"Dear brother, you are here..."
There were many shadows in the oak forest, but the swollen old man under the tree in front continued to play the piano.
