Plague Doctor

Torrential rain washed over the deserted island, and strong winds stirred up the rotten smell of soil.

But when Gu Jun walked through the gate and walked into the area belonging to the ancient house, he immediately smelled another strange smell, just like the one he smelled in the cave, like ten thousand different kinds of rotten things. Mixed together, it is the stench of corpses where ghouls live.

The light inside the house was very dark, and the floor, walls, and windows were all covered with thick dust.

He held the kerosene lamp and looked around the front hall. It looked like the residence of a wealthy family, with some exquisite and weird art-like things placed there. He couldn't recognize the style, but it felt a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...

He asked Wu Shiyu what she thought, but she also shook her head: "There is no obvious style, maybe I don't recognize it."

It didn't look like an accessory from their world, it wasn't an animal or something concrete, it was such an abstract shape that it was difficult for them to describe it.

The two walked carefully around the first floor of the house. There was a front hall and stairs in the front, a living room on both sides, and a kitchen and bathroom in the back. They searched it carefully and found nothing unusual. It just looked like a shabby house that had not been moved or robbed but had been abandoned for a long time.

Finally, they returned to the front hall. Gu Jun looked at the wooden stairs leading to the second floor, and then walked over.

Da, da... Gu Junfang stepped lightly, but when he stepped on the old staircase, the overburdened stairs still made a slight creaking sound.

However, the stairs did not collapse. They went up to the front hall on the second floor. Opposite there was a floor-to-ceiling window, and the heavy rain outside obscured the window glass.

"The door of that room is open..." Wu Shiyu whispered, and Gu Jun also saw that the door of the room at the end of the corridor on the left was open, but it was still covering the back, and only a sliver of darkness came through the gap.

They approached slowly and cautiously. Gu Jun was holding a lamp in his left hand, and the long knife in his right hand was ready to cut at any time...

When he was still a few steps away from the door, Wu Shiyu drew his bow and fired an arrow towards the door, da! The arrow pushed the door open, and the light of the kerosene lamp illuminated the room.

Suddenly, both of them could see the scene in that room. Gu Jun's heart clenched when he saw human corpses placed there, including old people, young adults, girls, and children... Some of them were standing there, and some were sitting there.

The appearance of these people is different from that of Homo sapiens on Earth. Their facial features are more slender. If they were alive, they would have been very graceful.

But at this time, they were all weird. They had obviously made some kind of antiseptic skin, and their mouths were sewn up into a smile.

The smell of corpses came from this room.

"Well..." Wu Shiyu frowned, confused synaesthesia assaulting her mind.

But Gu Jun remembered something even more, a chill surged up, and his heart ached with the unknown mist.

This seems to be... Mr. Garder's home as mentioned in the caretaker's diary.

This room is Mr. Galder's corpse collection room.

The sound of wind and rain outside became louder, and he was confused, but how could it be? Mr. Garder's house is in the town of Wossan in the foreign world, a rural place, and this is the dream world... The foreign world is not a dream world, he knows it is not.

projection? phantom? Changes in the sea? Where was this island before?

Mr. Garder and Uncle Dog are both ghouls, and they are both in the dream world...

Suddenly feeling something, Gu Junhuo turned around and looked at the front hall. It was still dark and there was nothing. But the caretaker said in his diary that he would see a dark shadow standing in front of the second floor window every night during the half month of guarding, and later it was discovered that the dark shadow was not Mr. Galder.

"Have you felt it?" He asked Wu Shiyu, was he just suspicious?

"I... feel so chaotic..." Her face turned pale with pain, "It's so chaotic here, it seems like there are a lot of things locked up..."

"Xianyu, stop it, stop it now!" Upon seeing this, Gu Jun immediately interrupted her reaction and was about to slap her on the head when Wu Shiyu shouted: "Let it go."

"Be careful, something is happening in this room." He said and walked back to the front hall step by step.

Da, da, da, the sound of stepping on the wooden board was terrifying.

He came all the way to the floor-to-ceiling window, but still didn't find anything unusual, so he glanced outside the window, through the blur caused by the rain... Suddenly, he felt a chill rising all over his body, and the scene outside was different. .

There are no longer dead woods and rotten soil, but lush woods and smooth roads, and there is what looks like a temporary wooden shed in the distance.

In the wooden shed, there was a set of tables and chairs. Standing next to it was a young man holding a kerosene lamp and looking at the window here.

The young man also looked like a foreigner. He looked to be in his mid-twenties or sixties, and his expression seemed a little nervous and heavy.

This seems to be the caretaker.

At this time, the caretaker withdrew his gaze, sat down on the chair in the wooden shed, and looked at the rainy scene elsewhere.

"..." Gu Jun's heart twitched. Is this an illusion, an illusion created by the house? "Shigure, come and take a look."

Wu Shiyu had been following behind, and he was shocked when he saw it. The scene changed, "That's Old Uncle Dog? Isn't he old enough?"

"He's not." Gu Jun thought, she could see it too, "This might be an illusion... Let's go back to the first floor and have a look." It was hard to tell when the illusion started. He wanted to see that guard

Can you see them too, and what will you say if you see them?

At that moment, the two of them walked down the stairs and returned to the front hall on the first floor. The scene outside the door remained unchanged. The wooden shed was just twenty meters away.

"Let's go out and talk to him." Gu Jun clenched the long knife in his hand and was about to walk out of the door when the cold rain came.

At the same time, the young caretaker in the wooden shed was already looking here, stood up hurriedly, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Galde, you can't leave the house, you have been isolated, please temporarily Stay in the house, Dr. Cullop will be here in a few days."

Gu Jun felt even colder and froze in his tracks. Wu Shiyu asked in confusion: "What is he talking about? Do you understand?"

"Understood." Gu Jun said solemnly. The guard spoke a different language. This matter cannot be separated from the participation of the Afterlife Society.

"Mr. Galder?" The young guard was very alert, "What are you talking about? Who are you talking to?"

The two people side by side looked at each other and immediately understood that that person seemed to only be able to see him...

"I'm not Shoples-Galder." Gu Jun said, raising his steps to step out of the door, "Old Uncle Dog, what are you playing? Come out!"

The guard became even more nervous. When he saw the long knife in the other person's hand, the guard picked up some instrument from the table and shouted urgently: "Mr. Galder, please abide by the isolation rules! This is for you. Well, for the sake of Nathantown, Dr. Carlop will be here in a few days!"

Love the Plague Doctor.
