Plague Doctor

The hot wind picked up the yellow sand and blew it into the small lake that was about to dry up, making the water inside more turbid and blurring the surrounding desolation.

"Xiao Baitang, run faster! Just shout, a distinguished guest is coming."

Peacock smiled forward, then turned around and helped pull the camel caravan to a stop. Then he and Mo Qing helped the Nightmare Man get out of the caravan. The Nightmare Man has been taking Tuivine Wine for several days, and the vines on his feet are almost withered, but his steps are still staggering.

"Mr. Nightmare Man, except for our Tianji warriors who often go out, most of the clan members only move within the Earth City. They don't know much, and the children are naughty. People may be curious about you... Please don't take it off. "

Peacock tried his best to speak politely. It was not just curiosity, but curiosity, suspicion, and fear. Xiao Baitang's look just now was a bit rude.

If the Nightmare Man wears a mask, everyone will do this, and if he doesn't wear a mask, everyone will do this even more.

"We are all a group of honest people." Mo Qing said seriously, "Whatever they have to say, they don't know how to hide it in their hearts."

Gu Jun looked around again. At this time, he really didn't know whether it was better to see those curious things or not...

He looked at the two of them, it didn't look like they were playing a trick.

"Then let them come out." The ancestors patted their belly and said, "Where are all the people?" The dozen or so ancestors who followed were also looking around in confusion.

"Here we come!" Peacock suddenly said, raising his face to the Nightmare Man and saying: "That is our clan leader, and the others are all doctors in the clan. I believe they will answer some of your questions." Then. She walked up to make an introduction again and introduced the Nightmare Man, "The Great Elder Attar passed the "Nakt Codex" to him."

"Can you see people?" Each of the ancestors asked the sons, and the other ancestors all clapped their heads and muttered: "No." "They hid it so well." "I heard that this city has always been so tight, without even a loophole. nothing."

Gu Jun walked slowly on crutches, focusing his mind to sense the surroundings...

This was not a dream. He had been trapped in that ancient house and had suffered countless nightmares. He knew that this was not a dream.

It’s just a piece of yellow sand here! There are some weird rocks and some lonely weeds.

No nightmares, no abnormalities. But this incident itself is the biggest anomaly.

"Are you sure there are other people here?" Gu Jun asked, "Is there a city here? Have you set up any blinding techniques or enchantment formations?"

Both Peacock and Mo Qing were startled. Peacock hesitated: "What do you mean...?" She whispered again: "Clan Leader, Mr. Nightmare Man had an inhuman experience at the Black Merchant. He has his own wariness. .”

Suddenly, they saw the Nightmare Man pull out a small knife from his pocket.

"Mo Qing, stretch out your hand." The nightmare man said to Mo Qing next to him, "Don't move."

Mo Qing felt something was wrong, but he still stretched out his right hand. As soon as he stretched it out, the nightmare man suddenly cut the belly of his index finger with the knife, and blood suddenly poured out. Mo Qing was confused and hurt. He said: "Sir..." The Nightmare Man continued to pick at the wound with the tip of the knife, and Mo Qing couldn't help but scream in pain: "Ah!!"

Peacock was stunned, not knowing what he was doing. When he realized what he was doing, he quickly opened his hands to stop him, "Everyone, don't do anything! Mr. Nightmare Man doesn't mean any harm, don't!"

"It's not a spiritual body." Gu Jun murmured, walked up to Peacock with a scalpel, and cut her index finger in the same manner. She also had blood flowing out, and her pain did not make her disappear, only her confusion. He Mo Qing's anger grew even stronger.

Not a spiritual body, nor a spiritual dreamer.

These two people are physically present.

So why? Why?

"You haven't seen it either, have you?" he asked the ancestors. Seeing that he was right, he asked again: "How many wanderers have you seen in total over the years?"

Atal said that he had been visited by land wanderers starting thirty years ago, and then every few years.

"Huh?" The ancestors didn't quite understand this question. "Actually, we don't care about the wanderers at all. There are too many ethnic groups in this world, and they can't even be considered small characters." Feeling that his eyes became sharp, the elder Zu Ge hurriedly said: "Based on the number of people who have appeared in Usa Town in recent years, there are more than a dozen! No more than twenty."

The other little ancestors nodded one after another, "No more, no more." "They always come in two, look for Atal and then leave."

Gu Jun looked at the confused Peacocks, "Where are the thirty thousand people you mentioned?"

"Mr. Nightmare Man..." Peacock could only frown and smile bitterly, "We don't understand what you mean."

Gu Jun stared at her eyes, and nothing was reflected in them, but it seemed that in her eyes, the surrounding area was a lively settlement, with cute and curious children, strict guards, and old and respectable patriarchs. and Dr. Wise…

delirium? Hallucination? Some kind of mental disorder?

"What about your sacred objects? Didn't you say that you brought several sacred objects from your home world?"

On the one hand, Gu Jun could detect the changes in his mood, but on the other hand, his eroded spirit was indeed aroused. Looking at the vast desert around him, there was an anger boiling in the darkness in his heart. If he hadn't restrained himself with his will, he would have asked them to dig out his eyes.

"There is no sacred object at all. You just said that to deceive me into coming here, right? The words "Wanderers of the Earth" and "Earth City" are all lies... first gain my trust, and then do this to make me crazy. Drop it, right... Are you from the Raleye Order, or from the afterlife..."

Peacock, Mo Qing, or the ancestors could all see that the eyes of the nightmare man became terrifying, and his words were almost spoken through gritted teeth.

A wrath of thunder is about to come at any time. The ancestors hurried to the back of the caravan without making any sound.

"No! We didn't lie to you." Peacock said hurriedly, "Don't do anything, go away, we are no match for him!" She shouted around, glared at Mo Qing, and said directly: "He has extremely strong The power of nightmares, don’t do anything. He might just be... testing us."

As she ran towards the lake, she shouted: "Sir, look, this stone sculpture is one of the sacred objects. It was carved by the hero Gu Jun himself."

Gu Jun looked around and saw only the pile of rocks beside the lake.

But the peacock was like a sacred statue standing there. She moved a half-sized strange stone, but it seemed that she was just signaling, "Look!"

Gu Jun's eyes suddenly converged, and she saw something carved on the stone she turned around...

The mark, that mark.

The mark in the Codex Nachter.

Love the Plague Doctor.
