Plague Doctor

Bang, bang, bang.

A heavy pulsing sound was heard. Gu Jun walked step by step, and the distance between him and the amniotic wall shortened step by step, leaving only less than ten meters.

The height of the amniotic wall is unknown, and its thickness cannot be measured. Looking at it like this, it seems to be just a thin layer that seems to break with a poke, but it also seems like there is nothingness behind it. Even if the amniotic membrane is broken, there is no outside world.

When he was less than five meters away, Gu Jun stopped, and an indescribable strange smell hit his nose. It was not a foul smell, nor was it bloody.

"Doctor Gu, how are you?" Li Liangbin asked from behind, while Wang Yong held on to Cao Yicong, who was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

"There might be a dividing line there..." Gu Jun said solemnly, still feeling and thinking.

Outside the amniotic membrane, there may be the earth world, but the dividing line has undoubtedly been distorted, and it is different from the two mutated areas in Mobei.

Besides, the Mobei locust epidemic incident is directly related to Nyarlathotep, but the current matter is directly related to the power of Shub-Nicolas.

The two are not the same, and the way the boundaries are bent will not be consistent.

Gu Jun suddenly noticed something floating in the swamp beside the amniotic wall. It seemed to be a camera, a 360-degree panoramic camera for an unmanned vehicle. His mind moved, and when he looked more realistically, he saw that the cameras were scattered and there were no sunken unmanned vehicles there.

But there should have been an unmanned vehicle, sent by the Secret Bureau...

He looked at the camera, his head felt a little swollen and painful, and something was surging.

The more I looked at it, the more it seemed like it was connected to the camera, and what was swirling in my mind were the images it captured when it crossed the boundary.

"Ah..." Gu Jun's headache worsened, and the intertwined images were like a rope strangling him.

He has had many time-travel experiences, from the real world to the fantasy world, from this world to that world, and even to the world of "The King in Yellow". But there has never been a time like this, everything seems to be distorted, black mist, black liquid, black flesh...

Not just flesh and blood, as this unmanned vehicle walks in it, every molecule of every part is also distorted, and everything is alive.

Two worlds, different worlds, different powers.

Intrusion, change, one-way, deformity, distortion...

Gu Jun took a deep breath suddenly, as if he had plunged into an ice bucket, and then raised his head again, with cold sweat on his face and anxiety in his heart.

This is not a passage in the traditional sense, it is a return to the womb at the beginning of life, another womb.

Unmanned vehicles have come in, drones should also come in, and there are other detection methods. The Tianji Bureau will try them one by one, and then fail one by one, with no results. Then at the end, the last option will still be activated, because Tianji Bureau never lacks warriors.

Especially in the face of out-of-control disasters, strange infant disease, strange hand syndrome, homicides, mutated areas...

There will inevitably be a team composed of Tianji, Xuanmi, and GoA personnel trying to explore across the border, but without a key or a pass, they will also encounter the same results as the unmanned vehicles, and they will be pulled when crossing the border. It must be torn apart, turned into fragments, and turned into a heap of twisted things.

Gu Jun looked around at the swamp around him again. Was this rotting mud actually flesh and blood in the past?

We can't let that kind of sacrifice go in vain...

Some faces flashed through his mind, including Xian Yu, Yu Chi, and Ah Mei. As a strange child, she was probably the first to be sent out.

But what Deng Ximei said... Gu Jun then thought about it, Ah Mei might be able to come, but the others...

They lack the connection with the foreign world, both mentally and physically. Even if Deng Ximei is in the team, she may not be strong enough. She may be able to reduce the resistance when passing through, but it is still not enough, and if she comes here, she will die. Even if he is injured, he will not be able to move.

"We have to find a way to notify the outside world." Gu Jun said to Cao Yicong and the other three people over there, "We can't just cross the boundary like that. This time is different from last time."

He told them some of his perceptions and judgments.

Cao Yicong and Li Liangbin still didn't fully understand the situation, but listening to Gu Jun's tone, they understood the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

Even during the previous surgery, Gu Jun was able to remain unusually calm throughout the entire process.

"Doctor Gu, what are you going to do?" Li Liangbin asked, "If we shout here, can we hear it over there?"

"I'm afraid it won't work..." Gu Jun also thought about this, "but it's worth trying." He couldn't tell what would work and what wouldn't, so he could give this method a try. He called out to the amniotic membrane, but the response he received was only silence and the vague sound of the amniotic membrane pulsing.

He had no hope that this would actually work, and he had no hope that the signal on the cell phone he took out of his pocket would be restored.

However, he still has a way, which may allow him to communicate across the two realms.

A spiritual dialogue with Wu Shiyu.

"You guys stay on guard, I'll try a way." Gu Jun said to the three investigators again. This time he didn't explain much. He faced the amniotic wall with strange light, closed his eyes, and let his mind enter. A special state that has been practiced every day for some time.

Xianyu, Xianyu, be smart...

"Xianyu."

Gu Jun called silently in his heart, thinking about Wu Shiyu's face, her voice, and the feeling of being with her.

If it was in the past, it would have been connected. Even when Wu Shiyu was sleeping, he would say "oh"

He has tried this.

Now there is no echo at all, and he feels like he has regressed from the 5g network era to the dial-up Internet era, hazy, slow, blocked, uncertain...

As of now, he can only try. Gu Jun continued to think about Xian Yu and said slowly in his mind: "Listen, there is a black goat uterus in the alley. The nature of the boundary is different from before. Don't come in directly. Wear protective clothing as well." It’s useless, it needs a key, a key that connects to the foreign world.”

He paused and didn't tell them not to try to come in, because he couldn't guarantee that the four people here alone could handle it.

There are external considerations and external difficulties. When the time comes, you must try.

He didn't say what they would bring with them when they tried to come in, because they would definitely bring as much supplies as they could, such as food, weapons and ammunition, and medical supplies for field expeditions—things needed for amputation would be routinely considered in this regard.

Now the information he said must be streamlined so that it could be passed on and better understood by Xianyu, reducing guesswork and her magical brain circuitry.

"The key, the key that is connected to the foreign world. Don't come in without the key..."

Love the Plague Doctor.
