Plague Doctor

What does it mean?

Gu Jun's scalp was tense. Every time he heard a word clearly, his head felt more cracked and painful. Isn't it bad to wear a mask?

At the same time, the black shadow next to the giant pedestal became more blurry. The more he listened to a word, the more blurry it became, and the voice became more difficult to distinguish: "...the chaos of heaven...the secret talisman...wearing a mask... …Gu Jun…”

He heard his name, and the shadow knew that he was Gu Jun. It seemed natural, but who was that? What it is?

"Mr. Nightmare Man, the passage is about to collapse!!"

Suddenly, Gu Jun heard another sound, the panicked cry of a peacock.

The illusion of this magnificent library palace suddenly shattered. He saw that the surroundings were still dark, but this darkness seemed to be hit by the stormy waves, submerged, and tumbling... The ripples turned into cracks, and all space and time became Unstable, they could clearly feel themselves shaking or even being twisted.

If they don't leave here, they may be trapped in this incomprehensible unknown dimension forever.

"It's time to go!" Peacock said anxiously, "If not, shall we go back?" Mo Qing and Jin Zhuli didn't know what was going on, and they were about to take off their blindfolds.

"No, follow me, this way!" Gu Jun gritted his teeth, ignoring those questions for now, holding the small medical bag in his hand and running in the front direction, "This way!" After the illusion was shattered, there was no After getting rid of those confusions, his gnosis became clearer.

He had a feeling that this side, that glimmer of light in the darkness, was the exit!

I want to go back. Gu Jun said to himself, and also said firmly to all those voices and illusions in the shadows, I want to go back to the world when I came.

Just when the surrounding space was completely submerged by huge waves, he almost rushed into the glimmer of light. The light expanded rapidly, and a completely different sense of space replaced the erratic and distorted space, becoming stable, solid, and familiar. …

"Ah!" The peacocks' voices kept ringing nearby, and they followed.

With a bang, Gu Jun fell down somewhere, the crutch flew out, and his palm pressed to the ground, feeling a burning numbness, it was hot sand.

"Huh?" He squinted his eyes to look at the hazy surroundings, and his eyes gradually adapted to the light. He saw that it was still a desert, different from the desert of Bunazik Desert! There were some low bushes everywhere. Looking back, I saw a pile of overlapping rocks, which was where Catherine remembered it.

But the strange light in the gaps between the big rocks had disappeared, and the passage between the two realms collapsed and disappeared.

"Are you back..." He didn't get up for a while, just lying on the sand and looking at the blue sky, the long-lost clouds, and the long-lost sunshine.

"Mr. Nightmare Man." Peacock's voice was a little nervous and he was asking a question.

Except that the title was too familiar, Gu Jun couldn't understand what she was talking about. This was no longer a dream world, and it wasn't a language she wanted the other party to understand, so the other party could understand her. He looked in the direction indicated by the peacock, and saw a bipedal gray-furred animal standing in the distance, with its belly puffed out and looking at them intently.

"That's gray kangaroo." The peacock couldn't understand what he said, but his cheerful laughter showed that there was no danger.

Gray kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia.

At this time, he saw a passenger plane flying past in the sky, dragging out a long plane cloud, and his laughter couldn't help but grow even louder.

"Back...the earth world!" Gu Jun smiled and pointed at the sky to the peacock, "Look at that thing."

The peacock looked at it blankly, maybe in her eyes, it was some kind of flying giant monster. Gu Jun didn't care whether she understood or not, he smiled and said, "That's a plane."

His mood was more than just joy and excitement. After experiencing death and so many hardships, he came back...

However, there is still a worry stirring in the bottom of my heart. Is this really the time and space when he came? It's not a group of orangutans sitting in the plane, right?

"Mr. Nightmare Man." Peacock called out again, pointing at Mo Qing and the others, and at his own eyes and hands, obviously asking if he could untie them?

Gu Jun nodded to indicate that it was okay. Although the "Eye of the Abyss" could no longer work in this world, he was still not afraid of them.

Peacock immediately untied the blindfolds and ropes of his companions. The four of them, Mo Qing, looked around in shock and confusion. Where is this? Didn't you say that you want to pass on the "Nachter Codex"?

Gu Jun stood up, regained his composure, and looked around. He really didn't know which way to go. He knew that the desert in Australia could stretch for hundreds of kilometers without any human habitation. If he went in the wrong direction, he might die here instead of in the dream world.

"Peacock, let Catherine out," he said, repeating the name: "catherine, catherine!"

Peacock and Catherine can communicate spiritually and directly understand each other's meaning, but Catherine is the only English she can currently understand from others.

After she explained to Mo Qing and the others, she closed her eyes and switched personalities, her facial muscles contracted for a while. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to be a different person. She looked at Jin Zhu and the others with her mouth wide open in surprise: "Oh my God, who are these people? Tom? Please tell me I'm not crazy?"

However, Mo Qing and the others just looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Peacock was saying.

"They don't understand English." Gu Jun said in English, "Do you know Chinese?"

"It's okay." Catherine shrugged, "I can understand the words that are not profound, but I am not familiar with the words."

"Okay." Gu Jun said in Chinese, and his English level was passable.

Go, the two together should be enough for the time being. He said: "Catherine, we have to leave here and go to a place with people nearby. Geikie-Indjana Road, do you know which direction it is?" He thought it was nearby.

"Geikie? Indjana? I have some impression..." Catherine thought hard, "It seems to be a place name in northwest Western Australia."

Gu Jun didn't know what she was referring to, but she said that the towns here were usually along the coast. If they came from a certain town, they would have a greater chance of going back northwest than going in other directions, such as going to Going southeast is almost courting death.

He listened to this suggestion and used sun shadow direction finding to determine the direction. This skill was learned during the special training of the problem team, and it came in handy now.

Then, he took the lead and walked northwest on the yellow sand.

"Aren't you Tom?" Catherine asked her long-term boyfriend in confusion. The strange look in his eyes made her understand that Mo Qing was to Tom just like the peacock was to her. Catherine shook her head and sighed: "It's so strange... dragging a stone, strange, strange..."

Gu Jun ignored her and walked on crutches while thinking about the words of the black shadow.

Isn’t it bad to wear a mask? Use sweet dreams to change the chaos of heaven?

"Is it a sentence like this?" He recalled the intrusive thoughts, and had a vague feeling: "Does it mean that I should continue to wear a mask... to hide my true identity? Everyone thinks I am dead... …But no matter what, we must contact Xian Yu as soon as possible.”

Because according to the future information, she is now in danger. No matter whether the black shadow had good intentions or bad intentions, she couldn't let her try to fall asleep by herself.

Gu Jun was thinking about walking, and adjusted his steps towards the direction with more bushes and dirt. After walking for about an hour, Catherine suddenly said in shock: "Look there, there is a road and a car!" Mo Qing and others looked surprised. , but Gu Jun was excited.

In the distance, there are roads and telephone poles, and a yellow pickup truck drives by.

Love the Plague Doctor.
