Plague Doctor

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 caretaker 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. Finally, he retracted his foot and stopped Wu Shiyu.

What if this conflict is the enemy's purpose?

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 mere illusion, is that the caretaker? Are you awake now?

Or do you think "Mr. Galder" is delirium? People with nightmares may experience delirium.

"Sir, please go back to the house." The young man on guard advised earnestly, "You need more rest."

"I hope you know what you are doing." Gu Jun 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. A row of bookshelves were filled with books and scrolls.

Gu Jun took out a book and flipped through it. It was blank. Every page inside was blank. The same was what Wu Shiyu saw.

He took another one and looked at it, but it was all blank... The books were thrown on the floor one after another, and they soon became messy. He looked through all the books and papers here, but only found blanks. He overturned all the desks and bookcases, making a loud bang on the floor, but still found nothing.

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? Is it 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 the 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 wasn't particularly thick, and he slashed hard enough to create a gap. After he hacked off the stilted door lock, he kicked the door open.

A weak light penetrated inside, piercing 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.

The figure rushed forward in an instant, and Gu Jun almost instinctively struck with his knife!

However, it just hit 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 you were knocking on the door."

"Then you didn't hear it." Gu Jun said calmly. Can only the person who opened the door see it? What exactly 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 2, raised his long knife and slashed at the wooden door again, bang, bang!

Not long after, the muscles in his arms began to feel a little sore from the splitting. Although this was a dream world, they entered in a physical way. The body functioned the same as in the waking world, and he was already covered in sweat.

He smashed 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 utter madness remained.

Gu Jun felt a chill in his heart, as if he saw the withered and frantic face of this figure... Yang Jianming? The patient with terminal 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. He later underwent experimental treatment with a lobotomy, but 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 that?"

"No, it's still the same." Wu Shiyu shook his head, his face no longer just calm, but a little nervous, "

Another ghost? "

"Yeah..." Gu Jun looked at the 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 is he locked up here? Other patients too?

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. Does it still have countless overlaps? Is this a cage, a place to lock up the patient’s soul?

All those souls make the spiritual power of this ancient house stronger...

"Xianjun, you look scary." Wu Shiyu said urgently, "It's your turn to stop. Don't be induced 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 came out of the house, holding a knife in his hand and talking nonsense, looking very scary. I think he is beginning to have symptoms of delirium. Poor Mr. Galder, he is always so personable and polite to everyone. He really does not 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 was clearly the only one left in the room, and I saw his figure always behind the second floor window. 】

Love the Plague Doctor.
