Plague Doctor

The tower stands just over a dozen meters away, and even the desolate smell of dead grass around it seems to smell.

“I'll go check it out, you guys drive with me.” Gu Jun decided.

Now, even though Catherine and the others muttered a little, they went back to the car and slowly followed the nightmarer.

Gu Jun walked a few steps on the barren sand and felt a little light. Is it an illusion, as if the car next to him was also floating... He walked straight to the front of the wire tower, walked around a circle, nothing was found.

He didn't reach out and touch the tower, which wasn't a smart thing to do.

When he looked up at the top of the tower and saw it go straight into the sky, as if to connect the sky to the earth… He remembered something and asked: “Peacock, you said that the third secret of the Seven Secrets of the Earth came from a force that could connect the earth to the sky." Can you explain it more clearly? ”

“The heavens and the earth are one, and everything merges.” Peacock frowned, "like... truly feeling the void. ”

“Sir, do you suspect this has something to do with the power of the scriptures?” Mo Qing wondered, "I didn't feel it.” A few golden columns shook their heads as well.

Gu Jun shrugged and didn't say anything, just thought that the earth vagabonds did not fully touch that power at the end of the third secretary, and they felt incomplete.

But he was merely a disturbing suspicion, after all, that this matter could not be separated from the teachings.

After looking at it for a while, Gu Jun threw a pillow down to mark it. He walked back to the Chevrolet car and took the driver's seat. "Let's go back and take a look. ”

The two cars turned their heads and drove to the circuit. It was noon, and the more poisonous the sun in the sky, the whole earth seemed to be burning.

In retrospect, they redirected from the mud track onto the asphalt highway, which was a turning point, and shortly afterwards, the GPS broke down, and the cell phone ran out of signal. It must have entered this abnormal space since then, and the wire tower was just a symbol of the range.

Because it was a straight road, the two cars almost drove in side by side, and not too long later, Catherine's nervous and suspicious voice suddenly rang: “Oh no...”

Although it was expected that Gu Jun's mind would still fall like an ice cellar, the wire tower appeared again, right in front of him, compared to earlier, it should be said that it was behind him.

“How did this happen?” Original of the Golden Column, Sels-Wang Stupid Road, "is that correct? ”

“You see, that pillow...” Annie, the native of Water Ball - he has white hair, “the brown one... is the same pillow. ”

What's happening now creeps them out for the average worker whose last memory stopped when they were going out to work.

But even for those who wander the earth, such as peacocks, it is not cold.

The two cars slowly approached the past, only to see that it should really be the same pillow, but not in the previous position of the grass stack, like the wind blew zero, the strangest thing is that it became worn out and soiled a lot, like a lot of time has passed before putting it here...

“I don't understand.” Tom Mumbles, "are we stuck here? ”

“Look over there!” Catherine was shocked that the roads were filled with vehicles at the end of the horizon, stacked seven ways across, and there were no such vehicles when she came.

As Gu Jun had seen earlier, those were all small cars, some of which looked dusty and old, like they had been parked there for a long time, and the car model was very old; others were very new, like they had been parked for the last two days.

They parked a few meters away, looking at sixteen cars, some with open doors and some with closed doors, all covered in silence.

Everyone got out of the car again. Gu Jun was not comfortable with their search ability and personally checked the car.

He didn't touch them, he didn't smash glass windows, he opened the doors, he looked at them with his eyes, and he could tell that the owners seemed to be in a hurry when they left.

“Oh, my God...” Catherine looked into an old white general purpose car with a photo frame on the dashboard with a family photograph visible through covered mud and dust, a white family, a couple and two children.

Gu Jun asked her what was wrong and she stumbled: “I think I've seen them. When I was a kid and lived in Wharton Town, I was about 10 years old, and one day the town was suddenly filled with police hunting notices, and the family, driving, disappeared nearby. ”

“Wharton was really a small town, and it was big news at the time.” The more she looked at the photograph, the more scared she was, "everything she said, even serial killers, demons... our children were scared, I remember clearly. ”

“Kate, you mean.” Tom stunned, "so they're stuck here? What about the last one? ”

“No last, idiot, they've been missing.” Catherine scolded her boyfriend helplessly.

Gu Jun stared at the vehicles around him and thought about what this meant...

All trapped cars? Some for decades, some just now? That's why the old and new cars are here... So where did the people in the car go at the end?

People were also thinking about it, looking east and west, and on both sides of the road was the rugged sand of Xiaozo, scattered with weeds and low trees. If you can't get through the front and back, you have to go both ways. This terrain is difficult to get away from even a Land Cruiser.

“Come on, check this out.” Gu Jun walked in one direction, southwest of Wharton Town. The old stone was carried by the peacocks.

They walked hundreds of meters against the sand and saw what was going on in front of them. Catherine, Tom and five others suddenly turned pale. Annie - Why did she unhappily cover her mouth, if it weren't for the character of the water pole to hold it down, she would have thrown up everywhere.

“Ah... damn...”

“This is really, oh...”

There are bodies on the ground in front of them, adults with children, heads missing, simply cut off from the entire head of the neck. These headless bodies are not stacked together, but each at a distance apart, but kneel in the direction of the wire tower, which seems to be a large circle with the wire tower as the midpoint.

But to surround this circle, you need more than ten hundred corpses...

Looking closer, the dozen corpses they saw in their sight were all dry bodies, and the dry skin revealed by the old clothes attached to the bones, but did not rot, but smelled extremely bad. The clothes of several bodies were fairly fresh and the time of death seemed to vary.

Gu Jun's head was hurting and his heart was rumbling again, flashing past some of the illusions of death he had seen when returning from both walkways.

Where did the heads of these bodies go... did they stand up with bamboo poles... somewhere?

“It could be a ritual.” Peacock Cold, “I don't know, but it looks like a sacrificial ritual.” Ink Green and they nodded in silence and agreed.

If this is a sacrificial ritual. Gu Jun looked around, and these people who misled into this space were sacrifices. Are they included now?
