Plague Doctor

When Gu Jun stood where he stood in that illusion, he had a certain feeling that this was where he was.

The aisle between books is still six or seven meters away from the pedestal.

At this time, the black shadow did not appear, and there was no sign of it appearing at all.

Gu Jun looked back and still couldn't see any reflection on the ground. Yu Chi stood watching from a distance.

After a pause, Gu Jun continued to walk up to the pedestal until he stood next to it. This pedestal is relatively not that high, just like a bed is not as high as a table, so even if he is standing next to it, he can clearly see the machines on the pedestal, which are like the huge glass tubes of the cabin, the metal rods and various tubes.

I don't know if it was because of the close distance, but the more he looked, the more strange he felt, as if some details suddenly appeared in his mind...

It's like lying in a glass cabin, shaking those metal rods with both hands...

"Ah..." Gu Jun's head started to hurt. It was obviously overcongested. His heart was tightening and his heart rate was rising rapidly.

"Captain Gu?" Yu Chi shouted immediately, "Are you okay?"

"No, I seem to have seen something, don't be nervous..." Gu Jun pressed his head with both hands, but he couldn't suppress the increase in intracranial pressure. The strange feeling became stronger and stronger, and some images that seemed like hallucinations flickered. He felt like he saw something. How the precision parts of this machine rotate with each other like gears.

This machine is good and can still be used...

Suddenly, there was a strange sound, and the tops of some tubes of the machine lit up. In the blink of an eye, the machine became colorful.

Gu Jun couldn't help but widen his eyes and heard Yu Chi's screams over there: "The machine... the machine is moving! Captain Gu, did you start it?"

"No, I didn't..." Gu Jun's first reaction was this, but he was suddenly not sure if he really didn't...

But he really didn't know how the machine started. He just had a strong feeling, "Wait a minute, Captain Yu, watch first!"

The machine's light became dazzling, and together with the inscriptions, curves and patterns carved on the pedestal stone, they all shimmered.

Suddenly, with the pedestal as the center point, a circular light mask was formed, covering an area of ​​about ten meters in diameter, like a circular dome.

Gu Jun looked around blankly for a moment, seeing ripples in the surrounding space, and everything seemed to be distorted.

Everything seemed different, but it was still the same.

But suddenly, maybe within one frame of the image, Yu Chi suddenly disappeared over there, just disappeared.

Gu Jun's heart sank, and the severe pain in his brain got worse. What happened to Captain Yu? No, it’s this space, time and space...

It was a little difficult for him to organize his thoughts clearly. One thought seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. This was not normal. It shouldn't be like this. There was another force...

Shadow, he saw, he had two shadows, blurred and twisted together, one was himself, the other was the witch. That guy is still following, followed the library, followed here, clinging, lurking, and if there is any opportunity, he will pounce like a poisonous snake.

This distortion of time and space has caused his weakness, which she is exploiting in an attempt to gain control of his body.

She wanted to devour him, she had always meant to devour him.

But it's not a complete failure, maybe this time it was somewhat successful...

"But I still found out..." Gu Jun gritted his teeth and endured the pain, concentrating on fighting and driving away, "Get out!"

The witch did not appear or respond. At this time, he saw something and was startled.

Between the bookshelves on the other side, there was a figure walking over. A man, wearing exotic linen clothes, with long messy hair, a face full of scars, his skin was a weird and sickly purple-red, and there was doubt in his sharp black eyes.

"It's me, it's myself..." Gu Jun suddenly understood something, "It's always been me."

That black shadow, the black shadow he saw at that time, was himself.

The person he is now exists in the future for that time, and the person he is now exists in the past for the present.

There is nothing about the present, it is a dialogue between the future and the past.

"Who are you?" At this time, the man between the books asked this way, or you can call him the nightmare man.

Gu Jun remembered this conversation and knew that next, the nightmare man would ask, "Who are you? Why? Why do you do this?"

"Who are you? Why!?" The man asked repeatedly, his tone obviously suppressing a sense of anger and anxiety. At that time, his spirit was still severely eroded by darkness. "Why do you do this? What should I do with this information?" If you can believe it, it’s true? Why don’t you just tell me? What do you want me to do?”

Gu Jun opened his mouth to speak, but at this moment, the witch seemed to exert force. He had a splitting headache and his figure started to shake...

He couldn't help but press his head tightly, and the words he wanted to say became scattered, intermittent, broken and twisted.

"...wearing a mask...not bad...sweet dreams, using sweet dreams...changes..."

But isn’t that just the way it is?

The man over there frowned. Gu Jun knew very well that every time the other person heard a word clearly, his head would become more painful. Maybe it was because this kind of information transmission that transcended time and space had such side effects, or maybe it was because he My head hurts like this right now.

There is actually only one head. This conversation could also be his own thought implantation...

"...the chaos of heaven...the secret talisman...wearing a mask...Gu Jun..."

The last thing Gu Jun wanted to say was "I am Gu Jun", but just like his memory, he only said this sentence and this name.

The witch's power was still churning, making it difficult for him to hold on any longer. He couldn't say a few more words to the man. The time-space contact was shattered, and the nightmare man disappeared. Gu Jun blinked in pain. Blinking his eyes, he saw that Yu Chi was still there.

It may have only been a few seconds before Yu Chi took action and ran over, holding an archaeological shovel in his right hand, probably wanting to smash any pipe of the machine with the shovel.

This is not a qualified archaeological operation...

"Wait a minute..." Gu Jun quickly stopped because of this. The machine on the pedestal had stopped running and the light was extinguished.

But he was attacked by a witch and his condition had not yet recovered, so his words were not very clear:

"Captain Yu, I'm fine... Listen to me first. This machine can establish a dialogue across time and space... I just had a conversation with my past self... Can we also rely on this kind of machine to communicate with the other side of the mysterious signal?" One end creates a more stable connection…”
