bang bang!
The entire pentagonal dining table was overturned by Gu Jun, and all the dishes and food on the table fell to the ground.
The secret room was silent for a while, and everyone let out another startled cry. Zu Ge jumped on Gu Jun's head in a hurry, Jin Zhuzi went to pick up Feng Wei who was on the ground, Gu Jun and Lou Xiaoning pointed their pistols at the surroundings .
As soon as the food that was still fresh and fragrant just now fell to the ground, it quickly changed into another appearance as if the illusion was shattered.
The plump and tender chicken leg turned into a puddle of yellow pus, another apple-like fruit turned into bloody white pus, and other brown, black... sticky, like just from Like something squeezed out of a festering wound, it flowed all over the floor.
The unspeakable stench filled the secret room one step at a time, polluting every drop of air.
"Oh my god, it stinks." Catherine cried almost instantly. If the peacock hadn't suppressed it, she would have vomited everywhere.
Not to mention Catherine, even Gu Jun, who is no stranger to the smell of formalin and corpses, and has the highest spiritual power here, almost vomited out at this time, purely because of physiological reactions, and generalized A wave of disgust in my heart.
The people around were all enduring it very hard. There was no fresh air coming in, and the smell was getting worse and worse. It didn't take long for them to vomit.
"It stinks worse than cat feces!" Zu Ge patted Gu Jun's head bitterly, he couldn't imagine if he had eaten these pus food just now, he would still be alive now.
"What the hell is going on..." Lou Xiaoning gritted her teeth and said angrily. She was already impatient and was about to explode at this moment, "Bastard of Laisheng Company, come out!" Suddenly, the rational monitor on her wrist Shi reacted, and her spirit was being eaten away.
"Calm down!" Gu Jun immediately drew out an old mental seal and typed it, letting Lou Xiaoning clear his mind.
"Fuck..." Lou Xiaoning was beaten back a few steps before she stabilized. The light of the rational monitoring stone went out, and she came back to her senses, "These smells will also affect the spirit..."
"I don't think it's the smell, it's the environment." Gu Jun said in a deep voice, his exhausted spirit was shaking slightly.
The room was full of malice, and the ichor that was turning the floor into a fetid swamp was just one they could see.
And those purple wall coverings and carpets... Gu Jun suddenly remembered a little knowledge about color. He only checked the relevant information a few days ago because he was monitoring the color of the stone. Purple has noble meanings in Eastern and Western civilizations, representing emperors, sages, gods...
He scanned his surroundings, and the people who arranged here might be those evil believers from the earth world.
However, Zu Ge said that those people were in a dream, so everything here is both real and illusory.
This hall is not equal to the house of worms. He had the feeling that this was just one of the rooms in the House of Worms, the room where the evil believers carried out their activities.
"We have to find the exit quickly." Zu Ge patted Gu Jun's forehead in distress, "Otherwise we will suffocate to death here."
"So please find it quickly." Peacock said, "You guys are better at finding those cracks than us." Lou Xiaoning also shouted: "There are passages on the top of the five fireplaces, you can climb up one by one to see them. Let's see how it goes."
"This..." Zug groaned, looking at those dark fireplace mouths with his sneaky little eyes, trembling all over, as if looking at the gates of hell.
But a sudden change made it impossible for everyone to blame Zug for his timidity. Maybe it just sensed something before.
After all the food on the ground turned into pus, a human corpse was hung upside down from the five fireplaces, tied with thick hemp ropes.
When they checked just now, there were no such corpses.
In an instant, Gu Jun's heart ached, he was angry at this scene, but also afraid that it would be Uncle Dan and the others.
Catherine, Tom and the others exclaimed, but it wasn't Uncle Dan and the others, it couldn't be, because the five corpses were all children, all of them were six or seven years old like the little girl with braided hair in the mist before. face...
"Ah." Catherine was about to vomit sooner, and the peacock tightly covered her mouth, "Think about something else, think about something else!"
"It's so fucking pitiful." Lou Xiaoning gritted her teeth, and the rational monitoring stone flickered again, "It's so fucking pitiful..."
"Is it because of some kind of disease that they look like?" Mo Qing asked coldly.
"It should be..." Gu Jun looked at the corpse of a child in one of the fireplaces, "The deceased seems to be a leper."
He had never seen a leper with his own eyes. After entering modern times, leprosy has been basically eliminated gradually, and it is in a low prevalence state, with very few new cases every year. But leprosy has plagued humans for thousands of years. Even now, there are still some leprosy villages in China that were established decades ago to isolate patients.
Leprosy is caused by the bacillus leprae, which can cause lesions on the skin and peripheral nerves of patients, resulting in deformities and limb disabilities.
The corpse in the fireplace is like this, the upside-down face is twisted into a ball, and there are lumps of pustules on the neck and hands...
Gu Jun suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the corpse in another fireplace, smallpox... that one was a smallpox patient.
The facial skin of the corpse was covered with densely packed small blisters, some of which were still in the form of albuginea, and some of which had turned black. The skin that can be seen is covered with fine and dense blisters, as if scalded by boiling water, a typical smallpox symptom.
He looked at another fireplace. The eyes of the corpse were festered, and herpes and pustules were also found on the skin. The difference was that there were patches of black scabs underneath.
Is that a plague patient... The plague is the so-called Black Death.
His heart was restless, Huo Di looked at the other side again, the corpse was as thin as a stick, with traces of feces on its body, it was cholera, a cholera patient.
Leprosy, Smallpox, Black Death, Cholera
It's all... a plague that has had a huge impact on humanity, and cholera still hits countries with poor sanitation every year.
There was also a fireplace, and a corpse. Gu Jun looked over and felt a sense of familiarity, which he got from the patients in the Jiangxing Town Hospital... Cyanosis of the skin, dehydration of the lips, blood and phlegm all over the face and body... It was Legionnaires' disease, I just didn't know it was Old or new.
"Here is an altar." Gu Jun understood something, and his heart was trembling with extreme anger, "Those corpses are the arrangement of the ceremony."
Five different diseases, five plagues.
What purpose is this ceremony? Are those dead bodies a tribute to the House of Worms...
"Ritual? So those foods are not for us to eat," Zuge said anxiously, "That's also a sacrifice for the ceremony."
It is one thing for the believers who perform the ritual to smash the ritual sacrifices like this, but it is another for the unknown beings who accept the sacrifices.
Everyone looked around, back to back in the middle of the pentagonal hall, feeling more and more thick odor and danger surging.
It was as if countless eyes were watching them.
