The caretaker mostly guards at night, and at night, some weird sounds can always be heard coming from the house.
And in the middle of the night, you can always see a human figure standing behind the curtained second-floor window, one stop until dawn...
But this evening was different.
[The night sky is very dark this night. From the beginning of the night, the distant howling of wolves in the wind has not stopped.
I stayed not far from the house as usual, looking at the figure of Mr. Gard behind the window on the second floor from time to time. But the door over there was pushed open, and it was Mr. Galder who came out, and the figure on the second floor was still there... Half a month ago, the inspectors cleared the mansion, and there was no way other than Mr. Galder other people.
In a panic, I told him to go back, but Mr. Gard said to me: "My friend, you don't need to guard me. I am not a patient."
Mr. Galder did not look like a madman at all. Although his face became a bit strange, he still maintained his demeanor and did not make me feel ugly. So I also remained polite to him and asked what that figure was.
He didn't answer me directly, but told me a lot of strange words, most of which were his experience of swimming in the dream world.
We caretakers were instructed not to talk to patients. But Mr. Gard really has a charm that makes a country bumpkin like me have to listen, and I listened to a lot without knowing it. Mr. Galder said, "If you've been there once, you won't doubt my words."
Although I was curious and admired him, I did not forget my responsibilities, so I continued to persuade him to go back. I said, "Mr. Gard, I am very happy to see you in good condition. I will be stuck in a few days." Dr. Loop is here."
I remember this conversation very well, because what happened afterward changed the whole town of Wosang.
"Doctor Carlop has their limitations." Mr. Gard just laughed and said, "But I can go to places they can't imagine."]
After seeing this page of the diary, Gu Jun's heart sank. He seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere before. It was Chen Fade...
In the cave, before Chen Fade committed suicide by chanting a curse, he said: "Things you call ghouls can go to places you can't even imagine."
Gu Jun frowned, "Galde" is his translation, and Galde is also fine, it should have nothing to do with Chen Fade.
But the idea of "I can go places other people can't imagine" seems to belong to the ghoul tribe, and there may be some reason for this.
["Where is it?" I couldn't help asking, this sentence involved me in a strange vortex.
"A more real place." Mr. Gard said, "A place that is clearly there but you can't find it, and you can't enter it."]
Gu Jun looked and remembered the deserted island, and searched according to the latitude and longitude, but couldn't find it.
Does that desert island belong to that kind of place...
He looked at the sky reddened by the setting sun, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued with the diary.
At that time, Mr. Gald did not explain much, but invited the guard to visit the house, but the guard sternly refused, and Mr. Gald went back.
After a while, the distant howls were getting closer and louder, and the whole town suddenly fell into panic. What came was not wolves, but a winged monster in the shape of a giant bat. All life walking on the street was caught and flew away, and the watchman that night was probably missing in all likelihood.
In the face of the sudden darkness, the diary keeper still rushed into Mr. Gard's big house.
It was also from this passage that the lines in the diary made Gu Jun feel that the guards were gradually getting a little insane.
"His spirit has been affected." Gu Jun thought about it. The diary was written later. Even if he recalled it with confusion, one can imagine what kind of state the guard was in at that time, panic, surprise, and bewilderment …
While the town was overwhelmed by this terror, Mr. Gard slowly invited the guard to drink scented tea and visit his collection room.
[Mr. Gard's collection room is on the second floor. I don't read much, so I can't describe the strange smell, but it's not just the smell of corpses.
I followed him into that room in a daze, and saw things that I can't help but tremble when I think about it until now.
The room is filled with various specimens of human corpses, all of which are intact corpses. There are beautiful girls, immature children, and old people withered, all of which are well taken care of and done. Embalmed, well-dressed, grinning, but I noticed it was all sewn up.
They looked at me like they were alive, I could almost hear them whispering to me...
I don't know where Mr. Gard found these corpses, and I dare not ask, for fear that I will be the next one in the collection.
"I like these corpses." Mr. Galder said to me while sipping tea, "They allow me to get in touch with greater beings."
I realized that this handsome man in front of me might have believed in some kind of heresy, and even caused the disaster of the town by him.]
Gu Jun calmed down, Mr. Gard is obviously not an ordinary ghoul, maybe he is of the same level as Old Dog
After that, the guard visited many places in the house in fear, but he didn't see that figure, and he didn't understand why those bodies hadn't been searched out before. After the long night passed, the watchman ran out to find someone for help, and the contents of the diary became more and more messy...
A large number of guards and residents were missing, and Mr. Gard, the constrained sheriff, also disappeared, and patients poured out of the house uncontrollably.
But it was also at this time that Dr. Kalop finally arrived in this remote town, but the treatment method adopted was still to capture, bury, and directly eliminate all patients. This made the guard quite angry and disappointed, and his mental frenzy was also getting worse.
["Is this the ability of Dr. Kalop? Is Mr. Gard right, our minds are too simple?"]
That night, the watchman had a dream of the ghoul's nightmare.
As a caretaker, he knew best how he would be dealt with, so he fled to the forest outside the town early the next morning. It's just that in the dark and deserted mountain forest, he became more and more hungry and suffering more and more, and death seemed to be a relief.
[Mr. Gard said, in fact, a gate has already been built here.
I'm going to try to open that door and enter that place in the way Mr. Galder taught me.]
Gu Jun felt a little nervous when he saw it. The guard hadn't written about this before. Did Mr. Gard teach him how
Regardless of whether the deserted island is a dream, illusion, secret, or distorted space, how can one enter it
He flipped through it, and the last page seemed to have a detailed entry method...
[I am going to try it, I only hope that I have entered a good dream.]
