Deng Ximei told Gu Jun a lot, "her parents taught her", and maybe thanks to this delicious meal, her mental state was still able to hold on.
However, due to the precautionary attitude towards reincarnation in the next life, her understanding of this organization is actually limited, such as the internal structure, personnel composition, etc., so she cannot tell. What she understands is the part she is responsible for, the poems and stories of the different world.
There are other soul boys, she gave a few names, but they only knew each other when they were children, and they lost contact with each other afterwards.
But she knew that they were still in the afterlife meeting, because they met at a great sacrifice five years ago. At that time, they were not allowed to talk to each other, but they just watched from a distance, so she didn't know their state at that time and status quo.
It was a sacrifice to the banyan tree, something like this hadn't been held many times over the years, and there were a lot of people with many haggard faces that day.
Gu Jun listened and thought, that should be one of the sacrifices that will be performed in the next life to summon the sickness of the banyan tree and open the passage between the two worlds.
Deng Ximei also said that these soul boys attended the sacrificial ceremony as their own aliens...
It was not easy for her to talk about these things in detail. She talked for a while, took a break to order food, and then talked for a while.
"Ligeia." This was her identity as a foreigner. Not Dr. Kalop, she didn't know Kalop very well. Ligeia was a young and beautiful woman, with long black hair and dark eyes, and a great deal of knowledge and literary talent.
But Ligeia was seriously ill, and her life came to an end. When she was dying, Ligeia wrote a poem "The Conqueror of Worms".
Deng Ximei wrote this poem in its entirety. The poem describes a tragedy called "Man", which is also the content of the cult video: a group of clown actors dressed as gods chase a phantom on the stage , and was finally eaten by the bloody worm that suddenly appeared.
From this poem, Gu Jun read a sense of desolation, as if he was constantly struggling to move forward in the dark night, but he couldn't see the slightest light of hope.
Perhaps this was the feeling Ligeia expressed.
Ordinary people are like those clown actors who spend their whole lives chasing secular illusions, thinking that they have become gods and control their own destiny. But in fact, no matter how hard we pursue, mortals cannot obtain the truth, and sudden diseases and disasters can destroy everything.
Just as those rich people, big stars, and big men who died early for some reason are just material in tragedies, Conqueror Worm is the protagonist.
However, death will also allow mortals to glimpse such a truth: death can end the ordinary, and death is a kind of sublimation.
"Ordinary is not all vulgar." Gu Jun said seriously, remembering that Deng Ximei said that there is still death that can make her leave, and there are many gloomy things in her heart. Order some food."
"Ligeia wants to live." Deng Ximei nodded and said softly, her eyes were a little bright.
Gu Jun understood what she meant, so he stopped talking about it, and instead asked what she meant by the sacrificial ceremony.
"'The Conqueror Worm' should exist in another world. Although this is a poem written by Ligeia, it has a ritual power that can summon the Conqueror Worm. Along with it, there will be more death Overcast."
Gu Jun showed her the video of the giant worm outside Liqizhai, and Deng Ximei shook her head and said that it was not the conqueror worm, it might just be a baby worm.
"In the vision I saw..." Deng Ximei occasionally sees visions, "The Conqueror Worm is as tall as a mountain peak. At first, the worm cubs appeared, and then they were raised to grow bigger. A tragedy is staged to make people feel that life is meaningless, human will is worthless, and death is the only truth."
Gu Jun frowned upon hearing this, and her statement further confirmed his inference.
Although those evil believers were hit hard, they didn't have the idea of shrinking back. Instead, they wanted to restore the dark situation they wanted by creating chaos.
"You mean to put People on stage?" he asked. "Spread that video? Or let giant bugs eat people on the road?"
"No." Deng Ximei pursed her lips, "Ligeia's death is a pity to those who admired her, even if they didn't know her."
"You mean..." Some possible images flashed in Gu Jun's mind, "Laisheng Company wants to attack public figures?"
The death of a person may not attract much attention, but if it is a famous person, a very successful person with a lot of supporters...
If not just one celebrity dies, but many.
"It's possible." Deng Ximei nodded, "The actors on the stage are the most dazzling ones."
In that case, it will indeed hurt the confidence of the people... Gu Jun asked a lot of questions after thinking about it, how to start? disease? How is it connected with the summoning ceremony? How could it give nourishment to those cubs
But Deng Ximei was also a little dazed when she answered, what she understood was this poem and not those.
It's not surprising that Gu Jun knows this. He himself doesn't know much about the aliens, and he also has limited understanding of Langton and the son of misfortune.
Seeing that Deng Ximei's face had turned pale, and the look in her eyes had also faded, he knew it was time to stop.
As for the mind barrier technology she knows, other poems in different languages, and the portraits of those soul boys and other faces she remembers, these are of course very important, whether it is to protect her or to protect this information, when she recovers tomorrow talk later. Otherwise a madman would have nothing to say.
The information that Deng Ximei brought now is enough for him to be busy this evening.
Gu Jun then really didn't let her talk anymore. After eating supper, she was taken back to the detention room by the operatives, while he went to the administrative building to make a report.
He explained to Master Tong and others according to his own ideas. In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, he also said: "In fact, the Great Elder Atal had already prophesied about this matter, and he gave me a sentence saying 'roses have thorns, but flowers are fragrant Fluttering.' I didn’t understand before, but now I know.”
"Boy." Master Tong turned around and caught Gu Jun and asked, "How much did Atar say to you?"
"Many, some of which I can't remember for the time being. Atar is sealed and will only emerge when the time comes."
After all this work, it was already early morning.
The night sky was dark, and there were still many places in the base that were brightly lit. Gu Jun walked alone on the way back to the dormitory, not feeling sleepy.
He looked at the darkness above his head, maybe, maybe this universe is controlled by an incomprehensible dark force, human beings are very ordinary, but human beings also have the ability to appreciate the night sky, such a night is really good.
I don't know how many other quiet nights like this have happened recently.
