Plague Doctor

At this moment, Gu Jun is in the iron cage, standing next to the human tree.

He wasn't without psychological pressure, the sense of sealing created by the iron cage and the enormity of the human tree were compressing the nerves throughout his body, making him want to take a deep breath.

But Gu Jun didn't, it was definitely a bad idea to take a deep breath in the cage, and he felt like he had fallen into the formalin pool.

Professor Qin was staring at them. Gu Jun knew he couldn't be a coward and continued to carefully observe the human tree in front of him. These twisted corpses have more visible black liquids under their skin than most teachers, a piece of dead tree-like color, no dead spots, but definitely the weirdest dirtiest skin he's ever seen.

But he thought, if the shapes were alive, and these black liquids were circulating back and forth like river water, it would be a very vibrant view.

Gu Jun looked at one of the heads on the "trunk of the tree", and his uncharted eyes were almost flat with him.

Or should I say, eyeballs.

The cornea of the eye is so cloudy that the pupil is no longer visible.

He felt something staring at him from the dark abyss through his eyes.

“...” Gu Jun suddenly had an impulse, and then he got stronger and stronger. He wanted to reach out and touch this human tree...

Gu Jun raised his hand slowly. The students around him were very distracted. What does this guy do?

At this time, Gu Jun's eyes suddenly seemed to come alive. He was not sure if the pupils he saw were hallucinations, but he clearly saw that the head's mouth was slightly twitching, and suddenly the sound of hissing sand!

It's not the sound that the airflow makes the vocal cords vibrate, but the voicing organs like the vocal cords, throat, oral cavity, and nasal cavity squeeze with friction.

Hush, low, but recognizable: "Save me, save me...”

Gu Junxin's head suffocated, his hands trembled half-empty, his feet almost took a few steps back, but he endured this instinctive panic. He couldn't help it because he heard it yesterday, in the call to Gubancun Village...

But all of a sudden, the other heads on the human tree moved, and a dozen long dead faces burst into a frenzied and disgusting cry: “I, not dead...” “Ah, no!” “It hurts...” “Help me!” “Why...”

All the howls rushed into his ears like a storm. Gu Jun's body was a little uncontrollably stiff.

Yesterday's call... is there really only one villager?

“Ah!!!” The seats around the venue also immediately burst into chaotic screams, many students were paralyzed in their seats, many students were frightened, some of their minds were invaded by this scene forever, waiting to wake up in nightmares.

The jury looked around and the students, who were too scared to do so, were kicked out. Perhaps they would become stubborn after being adapted, but the department did not need them for the time being, hoping that things would never be serious enough to need them. After such a round of screening, fewer than a tenth of the students remain eligible.

As for the teachers and professors, although they can still calm down, they were not taken into account in the first place.

Because what the sector needs is young people, young people have enough plasticity. And many ordinary jobs require these teachers and professors.

Professor Qin has been watching Gu Jun, watching his every move.

At this point, the whole human tree makes another sharp thrill ten times more noise!

This whistle from hell is like melting the whole stadium into pieces.

“Ghosts, ghosts...” More students were frightened, and even a few cried out.

When some animals see a tiger, even if they've never seen one before, even if it's a fake puppet tiger, they're very scared, scared to just run away, a fear engraved in the genes. Now this voice is a tiger, and humans are animals, and people can't understand it, they just panic, they're scared.

“Hoo.” Gu Jun took a deep breath to adjust his breath so that his instinctive fear could not be defeated.

However, consciousness thinks so, but the subconscious is obviously not. His body is stiff and a little stubborn... What should we do?

He glanced at Professor Qin and saw that they were completely relaxed. He certainly didn't expect him to pass this assessment, a bunch of abusive maniacs.

“Even if I came in, there should be no real danger.” Gu Jun thought electrically, let himself calm down, digest to think, "and there was a way to deal with it. Why does a human tree make a sudden sound? What's the difference? Am I the one who walked in? There should be some kind of trigger...”

The more fearful you are, the more you cannot escape.

As Gu Jun thought, he looked again at the cloudy eyes on the tree and at the eyes of the other heads.

Against the pressure of those whistles, he felt the slightest change in his eyes and his pupils widened...

Normally, the cornea of a human eye becomes cloudy after death due to loss of moisture, and the longer the time of death becomes cloudy until pupils are not visible, which is an irreversible corpse. Forensics can estimate the time of death based on the degree of corneal turbidity.

Even shortly after death, pupils can no longer be narrowed or dilated and will only be of medium size as the smooth muscles become relaxed.

But now the dead of the human tree... seem to have come back to life.

Did I wake them up? Gu Jun's feelings about touching the human tree just came up again, or are they calling me?

Try it. He gazed and raised his hand again, not stagnating this time, but reaching for the eyelid of the face to close. The orbicularis is so tight and has an unusual force that he needs to work hard to touch it.

When the eyelid closed, the head quickly calmed down.

Turns out, Gu Jun continued to close his other eyes and silently apologized to them: I can't save you, please rest in peace.

“Huh.” This is not the scene that the judges envisioned. Look at me, I see you, all with a surprise.

That's what this kid did the first time he faced a human tree. Calm, rational, too hard! Probably got the treasure this time.

As the whistle gradually diminished, the students also saw Gu Jun's response clearly. He was a little excited, and the shock around him stopped... The people bite their teeth to reshape their spirit, it's just a scam, nothing to be afraid of, the medical dog has nothing to fear!

“Hmm...” Professor Qin looked at Gu Jun and closed all the eyes of the head he could reach. The satisfaction of his heart was a little more. He didn't know about the medical aspects, but the psychological qualities of this young man were very good. “Gu, stop. That's enough. Come out. ”

Creaking, the staff went up and opened the cage door.

Gu Jun glanced at the tree and walked out smoothly. As soon as he left, the heads that had not closed their eyes gradually stopped crying.

When Gu Jun walked out of the iron cage, the whole scene suddenly clapped. Young, Jihua doctors... Many students in universities spontaneously clapped to Gu Jun. The East University students, of course, were better called by their own people. Gu Jun, who walked back to his seat, was like a hero to the triumph.

“Tu Haojun, you are really good this time. ”

“You're so calm. ”

Gu Jun greeted everyone's praise and returned to his seat. Professor Gu compared him to his thumb. Xu Hai, Zhang Hao ran and He Yuhan were very excited to worship him. They were all scared earlier. He saved their dog's life.

But until he sat down in the seat, Gu Jun's nerves relaxed slightly. The scary and unique beauty of the human tree deformity still wrapped around his mind...

He was still thinking about the significance of the whistle. Maybe it doesn't make any sense, maybe it's just that humans don't understand.

“Yark Jun.” Cai Zixuan mourned beside him, "you walked into the iron cage reminded me of Zhao Zilong walking up the long slab slope. ”

Wang Ruoxiang, sitting on the other side of him, photographed him and asked: "Did you actually panic?” She noticed that he was still a little nervous and deliberately joking.

“No.” Gu Jun laughed mockingly, “but there were two panicked batches.” Thank you, Sergeant. I'm fine.

On the other hand, Professor Qin did not rush, but only seriously explained after the whole applause had fallen: “Dear students, you did not collide with ghosts. That's the creature in the cage —— let's call it a creature, that's a symptom of its state of death. ”
