Plague Doctor

What's that supposed to mean?

Gu Jun's scalp was tightened. Every time he heard one more word, his head would crack. Wearing a mask wasn't bad?

At the same time, the dark shadow next to the gigantic pedestal became more blurred. It was also more blurred if he listened to one more word. The voice was even more difficult to argue: “… the sky machine is chaotic… the secret… wearing a mask… Gu Jun…”

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

“Mr. Nightmareman, the tunnel is collapsing!! ”

Suddenly, Gu Jun heard another voice. It was Peacock shouting.

The illusion of this magnificent library hall bursts, and he sees still a pitch of pitch black around him, but this pitch of pitch black is like being struck by a wave of terror, submerged, flickering... ripples into cracks, all the space and time become unstable, and they can clearly feel themselves shaking and even distorted.

If they don't get out of here, they may be stuck in this incomprehensible dimension forever.

“Time to go!” Peacock rush, “no. Shall we go back?” Ink and gold columns all don't know what's going on, they have to tear off their blindfolds.

“No, follow me, this way!” Gu Jun bit his teeth. Let go of the questions. Hold the small medical bag in his hand and rush in one direction. "This way!” After the illusion broke, without all the confusion, his wisdom became clearer.

He has a feeling that this way, that little light in the dark, is the exit!

I want to go back. Gu Jun said to himself, and to all the voices and visions in the shadows, I want to go back to the world I came to.

Just when the surrounding space was completely flooded by giant waves, he almost jumped into the slight light, the light rapidly expanded, a completely different sense of space replaced those flickering distortions, became stable, really, familiar...

“Ah!” Peacock, their voices kept ringing beside each other, and they followed.

Bang bang, Gu Jun fell where, crutches flew out, his palms pressed on the ground, a spicy numbness, is the hot sand rolling.

“Hmm?” He squinted his eyes around the blurred area and his eyes gradually adjusted to the light. He saw still a desert, different from that of the Bunazik Desert! There were some low bushes around, and looking back, a pile of overlapping rocks, that's where Catherine remembered.

But the foreign light in the gap between those boulders was gone, and the two-way corridor collapsed and disappeared.

“Are you back...” He didn't get up for a while, just laying in the sand looking at the blue sky, the clouds that were long gone, the sun that was long gone.

“Mr. Nightmareman.” Peacock sounds a little nervous, asking what questions.

Apart from that phrase, Gu Jun doesn't understand what she's saying. This is no longer a dream world. It's not a language that she wants to understand, so she can understand. He looked in the direction indicated by the peacock, but saw a grey animal standing on his feet, standing in the distance, holding his stomach and staring at them.

“That's, gray kangaroos.” The peacock didn't understand what he was saying, but his joyful laughter had shown that there was no danger.

Grey kangaroos, only Australian animals.

At this point he saw another passenger flying in the sky, dragging out a long cloud of planes, and he couldn't help but laugh.

“Back in the world of Earth!” Gu Jun smiled, pointing to the sky as Peacock indicated, "Look at that thing. ”

Peacock glanced at, maybe in her eyes, what a flying troll it was. Gu Jun, whether she understood or not, laughed: “That's a plane. ”

His mood was more than joy and excitement, he went through death, he went through so much suffering, he came back...

But there is still a concern that is disturbing in the heart. Is it true that this is the time and time when he came? It's not a bunch of gorillas sitting on a plane, is it?

“Mr. Nightmareman.” The peacocks screamed again, referring to ink and blue, referring to their eyes and hands, obviously asking if they could be untied?

Gu Jun nodded and said yes. Although the “Eye of the Abyss” can no longer work in this world, he is not afraid of them.

Peacock immediately lifted the blindfolds and ropes of his companions. The ink four looked around and wondered, where is this? Didn't you say you wanted to pass on the Nakert Transcript?

Gu Jun stood up, cleaned up his mood and looked around. I really don't know which way to go. He knew that the desert of Australia could be smokeless for hundreds of kilometres, and if he went in the wrong direction, he might not have died in the dream world, but he died here.

“Peacock, let Catherine out.” He said, repeat the name: "Catherine, Catherine! ”

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

She spoke to Ink and they switched personalities, her facial muscles contracted for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, she was like another person, and her amazing big mouth was measuring three golden columns: "Oh, my God, who are these people? Tom, can you tell me I'm not crazy? ”

Yet, Ink Green, they just looked at each other and couldn't understand what Peacock was saying.

“They don't speak English.” Gu Jun said in English, “Do you speak Chinese? ”

“It's okay.” Catherine shrugged, "I can understand what you're saying if you're not deep enough. ”

“Okay." Gu Jun said in Chinese, and his English proficiency was acceptable. The two should be enough for now. He said, "Katherine, we have to get out of here and go somewhere nearby. Geikie—Windjana Road, you know which direction?” He thinks it's nearby.

“Geikie? Windjana? I'm a little under the impression...” Catherine thinks bitterly, "as if it were a place name in Northwest Australia. ”

Gu Jun didn't know what she meant, but she said that the towns here were usually along the coast. If they came from one town, walking back in the northwest direction would be more likely than going in the other direction. For example, walking southeast would almost kill them.

He listened to this suggestion and oriented himself with a sun shadow. This was learned during the special training of the problem team and is now useful.

Then he took the lead on Huangsha and headed northwest.

“You're not Tom?” Catherine asked confused about her boyfriend, who had been dating for years, and that strange look made her understand that ink green was like peacock to Tom. Catherine shook her head and sighed: "It's weird... and dragged a rock, weird, weird...”

Gu Jun ignored her and walked with a cane. He pondered those words of the dark shadow.

Not bad in a mask? Use dreams to change the astronomical mess?

“Is that the sentence?” He recalls the idea of intrusion, hiding a feeling: "Should I continue wearing a mask… hiding my true identity? Everybody thinks I'm dead... but anyway, we have to get in touch with the salt rain. ”

Because according to future information, she's in danger. Whatever that dark shadow is good and malicious, she can't let herself try to dream.

Gu Jun thought of walking and adjusted to the direction of bush and dirt. He walked about an hour. Catherine suddenly shocked: “Look, there are roads and cars!” Mo Qing several people looked suspicious, but Gu Jun was heartwarming.

There are roads, poles, and a yellow pickup truck driving by the far side.
