Plague Doctor

Chapter 72: The Son of Bad Luck

Aren't childhood memories supposed to bring sweet flavors?

Running worry-free, forced to buy something to cry, gauging height expectations against the wall.

If… childhood memories bring only horror, fear, sorrow and anger.

So it's left in some subconscious corner, and it's probably a very lucky thing.

At this moment, Gu Jun looked at the mysterious scene of this illusion. Some scattered memory fragments emerged from the long-standing corner, as if a long-barred nightmare had once again invaded the dream, disturbing the false tranquillity of the dreamer.

He saw himself when he was little, when he was still in dental language, when he was walking.

By then, he was already undergoing some weird training. Around him, there are other children, and he and everyone are looking at a picture of all kinds of strange shapes of big trees, dense vines, twisted branches, raging dead leaves...

These pictures seeded their young, blank minds with seeds they didn't know what to plant.

Is that seed the last fruit of darkness?

When they grow older, they can walk, they can run, they can talk, they can think...

Gu Jun suddenly discovered that the surrounding area had become empty. He was the only one standing there alone, between all kinds of weird trees. He had forgotten the faces of the other children, and he could hardly recall them, as if they had never seen each other since the separation.

He's special.

A lot of people's eyes told him that, joy, anticipation, curiosity.

In the eyes of form, there is always a fanaticism, just like looking at an amazing treasure, just like his mother's fanaticism.

Is that woman really his mother? Gu Jun had such doubts for the first time, but only doubts. Because a woman tells stories that soften him to sleep, feeds him a smile when he eats, sees him scared when he falls... and it's all true, it's a mother's emotion. He's sure.

But as a mother, how could you treat a child like this?

The same woman, let him write the names of the drawings, write all the aliens.

This is the same woman who put on his crown made up of banyan leaves and strands, “Jun, just sit there and don't move.” She said there was some tension and complexity in the voice. Was she hesitating or sad?

Clearly, however, that fanaticism prevailed in the end, just like a great experiment was about to come to a great conclusion...

She can't give up on this result.

Experiments began when the mother was pregnant. Gu Jun felt that those blurry fetuses teach music and whispers, too, were hidden deep in the inner memory.

He was a newborn experiment, even before he came to life.

But the question is, what kind of creation is he?

Imagination is shaking, like some blurred cracks are spreading, but Gu Jun can still see the scene.

The cold voice made the sunken sky seem like it was about to collapse, and those in black and red lay on their knees against the banyan tree, and did not lift their fading faces, looking even at the banyan hole in front of them. It seems that even if you look at it, your mind will be utterly lost and you will find yourself in an endless delusion.

Just as Orpheus rescued his beloved wife, Eurydice, after a strenuous descent into the Underworld River. Don't look back when Orpheus told them to leave, but before returning to the gates, Orpheus couldn't help but look back at his wife and leave her in hell forever.

Just as Abraham and his wife fled Sodom, destroyed by the angels, Abraham's wife looked back and instantly became a pillar of salt.

God didn't let you see it, you can't.

Mortals, do not test God.

“Son of bad luck, as you say.” The man in red, kneeling in front of him, said in an extremely humble voice that the muddy and rotten land reeked of stench, but that ugly face resisted without a trace of motion.

“We are filthy, ignorant, despicable worms, abandoned followers of the so-called 'goddess of life'...”

Every man who lay on his knees did not make a single sound, but there was only a single silence of death, but on top of the silence of death there was a clear and sinister dispersion.

Goddess of Life? Gu Jun once learned in the diary of Rybdi-Peiani that this is the god of the different civilizations.

Abandoned believers… are these newborn members speaking as aliens?

Where did they come from? What kind of cognition?

“The old world has been destroyed, and we have come to the world without our knowledge and strength. We, we do not yet recognize the words of the old world.” The Red Man whispered, "But we remember the promise God gave us...”

Gu Jun's heart jumped. He didn't have the alien drawings he wrote, did he?

Did Mom and Dad hide it? Perhaps they have different plans than in the next life...

“Low life.” The child in the Banyan Tree Cave utters a strange, emotionless voice: “Low desire. ”

The response was nothing but contempt, but nothing was done by newborn members. Just a little lower for a red man: “Isn't this the shell that doesn't satisfy you? So he can't accept the power that belongs to the old world? Isn't it necessary to make a blood sacrifice with him? ”

The child does not speak, but the lack of it may also be a response.

“Is this body a sacrifice?” The Red Man Mumbles, “is the beginning of bad luck? ”

The rest of those on their knees are still dead silent.

But in the clouds of heaven, lightning was tearing the silence, and the sound of thunder gradually sounded.

At this moment, Gu Jun felt his headache cracked. Everything was in a twisted state, but he also felt a flame burning in his heart...

All the complex hearts and minds gather together and emerge.

Suddenly, he spoke out loud...

Was it real?

Why do quantum mechanics double-seam experiments show that the future can change the past?

The sunken sky finally collapsed and torrential rains swept down the earth. The voices of children in the Banyan Tree Cave became more hoarse and twisted, as if two voices were twisted together, tearing light and darkness, madness and trembling.

“This child has a mission.” The strange voice of the child sounds in the void, "I forbid you, you lowly beast, to touch him. ”

Those in black and red are still motionless and still not looking up.

Nor did they see that the child had some splendor in his eyes, like a flame in the abyss of darkness.

“This child will thrive and grow up to be a true man. Do not disturb him, do not offend him, and let him forget all this. But one day, this child will stand before you again. ”

The children in Banyan Tree Cave say, distorted and natural, this conversation has been, is and will be, not many words, not many words.

“By then all debts will be liquidated. This is my oath to you. ”

Gu Jun was saying, word for word, and the last word was in his heart: "It will be your last day."

The vast banyan tree fluttered in the storm, making a hoarse sound.

And those who were kneeling in the mud finally whispered unspeakable vows from the gods.
