Views:

[As long as hemoptysis appears in a city, within a few months or even a few days, people there will die one after another. They either lie at home until they stink and no one comes to collect their corpses; or they leave their corpses on the street and let the cold wind dry them. In the end, those who survived and escaped, if they took the effort to set a big fire, plunge the whole city into raging flames, and burn all the bones and wreckage everywhere, that would be the greatest kindness.]

"I, Huang Guotong, have only one opinion: we must do everything we can to win Gu Jun back!"

"Guotong, don't make it seem like Gu Jun has no fault at all, as if it's all the responsibility of others. What is Gu Jun doing? What happened at the charity dinner in New York? You can also say that he was emotional and didn't think about it. Clear. What about this time? Rational monitoring has been broken, tell me what that means? Killed almost everyone in the review building, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Isn't it your responsibility to force Gu Jun into this? Isn't it the result you want? You pissed off a tiger and saw if it would hurt people. It roared, that's all What happened. When Gu Jun can kill them all, did he really kill a person? This already shows that he can still fight for this person."

"Calm down, everyone, today's meeting is not for everyone to quarrel."

"There are some things that will only be exposed in the extreme state. The intention of the high-level executives to set up this comprehensive review has been confirmed. Gu Jun is indeed special. The strength he showed that day has far surpassed ours. system, even the new system he brought. To possess such power, a mortal must make a huge sacrifice to the source of power, but no matter how much sacrifice there is, there is a limit, and Gu Jun has already exceeded the limit."

"Guotong, this is indeed a problem. Personally, I would like to believe that Gu Jun is good, but the problem is that maybe even Gu Jun himself doesn't know what he is, or the role of his own existence."

"I don't know, he doesn't know, and we don't know. But Gu Jun did play a key role and saved our world many times. Well, now that he is made like this, who do we rely on to resist at this stage? Darkness? When this matter spreads, how many people will be disheartened!"

"Don't be so absolute. You are in charge of the Magic Department. You have directed frontline work many times. Don't you understand a truth? The information we can get is very limited, but the dark forces are cunning. What do they say? What do you have to believe? Is the appearance of things necessarily the truth? Maybe the destruction of the world has never been the enemy's goal at all, and maybe the enemy has never been able to destroy the world so easily."

"What do you mean? We are busy on the front line for nothing? We sacrificed for nothing?"

"No, don't misinterpret it. I'm not questioning whether the front line has defeated the enemy. But can Legionnaires' disease really destroy the world? The dark energy that the Worm House can provide to this world may be limited. It may stop to a certain extent, and it may destroy several cities and cause tens of millions of casualties, but it is not the degree of extinction we expected. The situation in Mobei is also the same, and the locusts will definitely be endless Is it? Will the mutation area cover the whole world? Will the so-called Yisi people also be part of the plan?"

"You are imagining, it is simply imagining..."

"Wait for me to finish. If Gu Jun itself is a disaster engine, but a disaster cannot destroy the world. From the perspective of the dark organization, how can he be arranged to cause more damage? Put him in Go to the enemy, let him become the hero of the enemy, and let him be in a safe state. Because the enemy himself will not really hurt him, and we will not hurt him. In this way, even he himself will secretly launch disasters again and again In this way, we will attack and weaken the world again and again, and after ten or twenty times, we will truly achieve the goal of destroying the world. Another point, as it is now, once the myth of Gu Jun is shattered, it will affect our morale and people's hearts. It is a major blow, and it gives the dark forces a chance."

"Have you finished speaking? It's just nonsense and deceiving people! If you speculate like this, then I will also make some speculations. What is your intention to fire Gu Jun? Are you from Nyarlathotep? Or The incarnation of Nyarlathotep? Or have you already secretly invested in some dark organization? You can’t defeat Gu Jun in the frontal battlefield, so you want to defeat him in this way. Do you want to conduct a comprehensive review of you? "

"Guotong, please be respectful. This is not a place where you are allowed to go wild. Even if this question is based on speculation, everyone can't tell the other side. But it is a fact that Gu Junmu is lawless. If he can't stand a comprehensive review, How can he be hired if he loses his temper and wants to kill others? You say he was forced to do this, but in the final analysis, it still reflects that his psychological condition is no longer suitable for work.

And don't forget, now Gu Jun is not just himself, not an ordinary 24-year-old young man, Gu Jun is a symbol, he is a "hero of heavenly secrets" internally and externally, his sneeze affects all his colleagues and thousands of people. millions of ordinary people. Whether he is willing to take it or not, he has already taken it. To take on such a symbol, no matter who it is, it must be stable. If a person is in an unstable state of mind and will fall into darkness at any time, but has a special limit. If he says something, the organization will support and cooperate with him, and if he is allowed to develop like that, is it safe? Guotong, if you like this, what is your position? "

"I only have one position, Gu Jun is the reason why we are still alive and talking nonsense here."

"Gu Jun is a special spirit boy of the Laisheng Society. As a container, he accommodates Dr. Langton, a Carlop doctor, but Laisheng Society truly worships him as a god. He has a special connection with the world of different languages. It was he who attracted Nyarlathotep's interest, it was he who called the black goat. None of this was said by others, nor by me, but by him. Isn't it obvious enough?"

"Okay, you all stop for a while, your opinions are in your report, don't argue anymore, the superiors have considered it...

It is a fact that Gu Jun has made great contributions in the past, it is also a fact that he can play a huge role in our work, it is a fact that his mood has become unclear, and it is also a fact that there are a lot of doubts about his role as a soul boy of the Laisheng Society. The superior believes that we live in an extraordinary world where anything can happen, so we should not make any major decisions arbitrarily. As far as the current situation is concerned, we can deal with it in a compromise. "

"How? Are you still thinking of locking Gu Jun up? Do you think he will still listen now?"

"No, it's not enough to be locked up. The biggest question now is whether Gu Jun himself has a particularity that makes our world and the world of different languages have some kind of abnormal connection. If it was in the past, we didn't have much There is no way, but now we have cooperation with the various tribes of the ancestors, and we can freely go to the dreamland.

What the superior meant was to ask Gu Jun to live in the fantasy land of Ursa for a period of time, either as a vacation, to relax, or as an emissary. Gu Jun lived in Usha Town for a year or so, or a few more years, if he could really have any special connection, it would be regarded as cutting off the connection. He can also use this time to inquire more over there, to see if he can get any help that is beneficial to our world.

If during this period, the dark forces in our world are still rampant, even more rampant than when Gu Jun was here, and if something happens unfortunately, we really need Gu Jun, then let Gu Jun come back. But if the world becomes peaceful after Gu Jun leaves, then Gu Jun will have to stay in the dreamland for a while longer, which will be good for everyone... Guotong, you have no objection, right? "

"You have all decided, I just have objections, what's the use."

"Whatever you think, just say it. Don't play this kind of temper, everyone is doing things seriously."

"Dreamland is not a place where you can come and go when you say it. The great elder Atal said, and those Zukos also said that if a person stays in the Dreamland for a long time, the longer and the more he knows, the better he will be. The more you can’t leave there, the more you will become part of the dreamland. You want to let Gu Jun move to Wusha Town, call him back if you need him, and close the gate if you don’t need him, this may not be possible at all.”

"This point has been considered. Gu Jun can come back to this world regularly, half a year or how long, and a mobile task force will go into the dreamland to pick him up, stay here for an hour or a day, and then send him back to the world. Send it back. This decision must be tested for a period of time, and this is the only way to go."

"What's the difference between this and exile? How do you convince other people? The little gang you mentioned is our strongest elite."

"How to explain to them, how to appease their emotions, this is your job."

"Guotong, don't be unconvinced. I still have the same opinion. In Gu Jun's situation, if he follows the regulations, he will be 100% forced to retire. This is already very tolerant of him. I think you will also Just use this period of experimentation to cultivate some new talents."

"Gu Jun is not a prisoner, don't say that he can be manipulated at will. In his current situation, whether he will talk to you is a problem..."

"How to solve this problem, how to do this matter well, you should also participate in these tasks, Guotong, go to Dongzhou, and get it done as soon as possible."

"Let me remind you... Some buildings collapsed not because of other people's destruction, but because they changed their structure..."

[Isn’t this plague just a big fire? If it's a house, it burns a house; if it's a street, it burns a street; if it's a town or city, it burns a town or city; if it's a world, The whole world will eventually become a sea of flames and be reduced to ashes.]

Dongzhou City is in the rainy weather. A heavy rain has just washed the land. The sky is overcast and misty everywhere.

Among the mountains in the northern part of Dongzhou, there is a mountain named "Lao Niu Mountain" and the entire surrounding mountains have been blocked, and it has been like this since three days ago.

That morning, Gu Jun drove Baiyaki away from the secret review base on the outskirts of Dahua City, then flew all the way to Dongzhou and landed in Laoniu Mountain.

It's all been tracked by satellites, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding his whereabouts, which he might be able to do otherwise.

After he entered Laoniu Mountain, the Dongzhou Tianji Bureau received an order from the headquarters to immediately blockade the place, and then for three days, the place was still silent.

In the past few days, there have been earthquakes inside the Tianji Bureau. Although this matter was kept highly confidential, those involved in the operation still knew a general idea: Gu Jun lost control of his emotions and was currently hiding on this mountain, and their task was to control this place and bring him back.

The headquarters and the Dongzhou Branch secretly set up a joint command center, and fbm and others were unaware of this, but the Mystery Bureau sent a large number of personnel upon invitation.

After all, facing the secret hero, the mysterious personnel relatively do not have so much emotional resistance.

Why Laoniu Mountain

Is there anything special here, or is there a passage from another world

The command center sent an investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation on this issue, but found nothing. It is a certain distance from Gurong Village and Shidong Mountain, so there is no relationship. There is no record that Gu Jun has been here before, and this seems to be a place where he stopped at random...

Now, this unremarkable mountain has been heavily blocked, and the ground has been dug three feet.

At this time, a mountainside landscape platform less than 30 meters away from the mountain peak was already at the forefront of this operation.

From the landscape platform to the mountain peak is a winding and steep mountain road with small stone steps. At this time, the mountain road is covered with fresh rain, very slippery, and the shadows of the surrounding trees are swaying.

It was on this stone-stepped mountain road that a sneaky little figure ran down the mountain, paw-tapping-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.

"It was up there, I saw it, he was standing there... I didn't dare to go, but there he was..."

Zu Gejili slipped all the way back to the landscape platform, and said to everyone with lingering fears that he would not dare to go up again. It is lucky to be alive this time.

There are two groups of people on the platform. One group is dispatched by the command center. There is a mobile task force "Corrector" specially established for this operation, as well as coordinators from other departments, including the three reviewers that day. The other group was led by Lord Tong himself, all of them were elite personnel who would be in charge of this mission in the past, and had a close relationship with Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu, Deng Ximei, Cai Zixuan, Wang Ruoxiang, and Uncle Dan.

Peacock and Mo Qing were not approved to come because they are fanatics of secret heroes and are not suitable for this mission. Lou Xiaoning was impulsive and was not approved.

Originally, other people were also subject to many disputes, but Master Tong persisted.

At this time, everyone listened to Zu Gejili's report with different expressions.

"Let me go up and try." Wu Shiyu took the initiative to ask Ying to say, "Don't follow anyone else, just go up by myself."

Master Tong said to the command center: "If you don't want to have an accident, you should listen to her more. If she can't say anything, then others will have no chance."

However, the command center asked them to continue to stand by first, so that the corrector team was ready for action, try to walk slowly towards the mountain, and retreat if there is any abnormality.

The corrector team is composed of fifteen elites with complete weapons and equipment. The captain is He Feiling sent by the Mystery Bureau, a strong man in his thirties, who is almost as famous as Yu Chi in the mysterious world. At this time, under the attention of everyone, He Feiling waved to the team members and solemnly stepped up the mountain steps.

Cai Zixuan looked at it and sighed, feeling that the world is tricking people.

"It's useless, they can't go up." Deng Ximei said softly.

On the other side, Zhai Minghui was also watching, with a calm face, but occasionally a complex expression flashed in those eyes that were more vicissitudes, and suddenly, he had a splitting headache again. Come on, still keep churning in my mind...

"Kalop, Kalop..." Di Minghui murmured, the voice was so soft that no one could hear it.

For the terrible scene of hemoptysis described by Gu Jun, he can understand better... everything is more understandable...

[From February 10th to 22nd in the Violet Year, there were 49,361 new deaths

As of March 9, 27,195 people

As of March 19, 6170 people

As of March 29, 2652 people

Four months ago, Shar City was destroyed]

The corrector team only shortened the distance from the mountain by more than ten meters, and every member of the team felt an abnormal heavy pressure from the top of the mountain. One step and it will be squashed.

He Feiling raised his hand to stop the people behind him, looked at the top of the mountain where he couldn't see, and shouted: "Captain Gu, we want to talk to you."

He believes that Gu Jun can hear it, and there is no need to speak out the plan loudly. The Bureau of Heavenly Secrets will arrange for Gu Jun to go to Usa Town in the dreamland to recuperate for a period of time.

There was no voice to respond, but the heavy pressure quickly became greater, and He Feiling suddenly felt a tearing pain in his head, and the expressions of the other team members also changed.

No... They have rich combat experience and know that they are not the opponent of this force. I am afraid that if the opponent really exerts force, they will fall into the same situation as those who reviewed the base that day... As the mobile task force for this mission team, they know more about the situation.

That's not like the power that a magician or a cultist who has fallen into madness can have, and it's not even like an ordinary dark alien creature...

It was as if they were facing the source of the dark power itself.

"The opponent's strength is too great, and the task cannot be completed." He Feiling did not try to be brave, and reported to the command center through the walkie-talkie: "The corrector team retreats."

That's it, within fifteen minutes, this mobile task force assembled with mysterious and secret elites retreated from the stone steps to the landscape platform.

The heavy pressure just now has been relieved, but their spirits have been consumed a lot, their complexions are still unrelieved, and their strength, speed and responsiveness are all declining.

"I'm not lying!" Zugjili snapped, "It's really scary!"

"This won't work, I've already said..." Deng Ximei said softly.

There is no need for Master Tong to worry. After a short while, the command center really issued a new dispatch: "Guotong, let Wu Shiyu go up first, and the corrector team and others will follow slowly."

Then, Wu Shiyu put on the walkie-talkie, camera helmet and other equipment handed over by the communication personnel, and walked up the same stone step mountain road steadily, "Xianjun, I'm coming up."

"You guys go..." Zugjili shrank aside, "I'll just stay here..."

Soon, she walked more than ten meters, then more than twenty meters, and her steps were still steady without shaking.

Wu Shiyu also felt a kind of heavy pressure, but there was a sense of familiarity in it that hadn't been extinguished, and the heavy pressure had no intention of hurting her, so apart from her feeling a little heavy in her heart and a little restless in her mind, it didn't have any particularly big impact.

And behind her, the corrector team took Master Tong, Deng Ximei and others, as well as Zhai Minghui, Wang Xiang and others, to climb the peak again.

But they walked very slowly, and there was a long distance between Wu Shiyu and Wu Shiyu.

On the other side, Wu Shiyu stepped over the last step and came to a not-so-open and rugged peak of the mountain, surrounded by dense trees that were dark and gloomy.

Gu Jun was standing on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, and one step further was the valley.

He looked sideways, his face was strangely pale, and those eyes seemed to be the most desolate scene in the world.

As soon as Wu Shiyu reached the top of the mountain, he trotted over quickly and said in a hurry: "Xian Jun, hurry up and get out of here! They want to arrest you and imprison you in the dreamland. No matter what they say, don't let them succeed. Go, don't worry about it for now. Yes, some people don’t pay the price, it’s useless to tell them more, like a child walking, if you don’t fall, you can’t learn how not to fall. Don’t stay here, they will release missiles, it’s dangerous here, go to the Pacific Ocean, go Antarctica, go where they can't control."

Immediately, hurried questions and reprimands from the command center came out of her earphones, but she swiftly tore off the walkie-talkie and camera helmet and threw them aside, "That's right, I don't obey your orders, so I'll be forced to retire as a punishment." .”

A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Jun's stern face.

And this smile also made those eyes show something else, like a dead tree struggling in pain, darkness, and desolate wind.

He is resisting, he is asking for help.

Wu Shiyu's voice stopped suddenly, but he was at a loss. He didn't know whether it was correct to persuade Xianjun to break with the Tianji Bureau, because in that case, he would lose a lot, even everything, and he would become another person... It was Xian If Jun said, he would sacrifice himself foolishly, for the sake of this world, for others...

He must be clear that whether he breaks with the Tianji Bureau will not only affect himself, but will also cause a series of other effects. In a short period of time, it will even cause huge chaos. It is very likely that dark forces will take advantage of it, and many people will die. A lot of very good good people...so he was lost.

One's own reflection can also blind others.

"Silly Jun." She stepped forward and pressed her forehead against his shoulder, muttering, "I don't know anymore, just follow your heart, anyway, I believe you..."

Gu Jun raised his right hand slowly and hugged her, silently, but the expression in his eyes was changing, tumbling, becoming more and more intense.

Gradually, the dead tree seemed to get new nourishment, and regained a little vitality...

Do you follow your heart...

"Xianyu, I'm so tired." His voice was hoarse, and the speed of his speech gradually increased: "Maybe, it's better to go to rest for a while... Wusa Town is not bad... I can learn from the Great Elder Atal, and I can talk to cats. Let’s play together, and we can also go to the Enchanted Forest to drink with those Zugs... Maybe it’s still good... "

The pain and turmoil that Wu Shiyu felt from him has subsided somewhat, the pressure has also melted away, and his heart beats stronger...

It's not the kind of indescribable gloom, but the vitality of life.

It seems that Xian Jun has made his own decision...

He has long said that as long as people like him are not dead, the setting sun will not set.

"Well, I'll go with you." Wu Shiyu also made up his mind, "As an elite of the Recreation Department and a consultant of the ancestral ministries, it is more than enough for me to go to the Dreamland as an envoy. We will go there for a few months and want to come back when the time comes. Then we will come back. Anyway, there are many passages, and no one can stop them."

Speaking of which, she was really looking forward to it. It would be nice to have a big vacation. Every day belongs to her, and she sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

The smile on Gu Jun's face became wider, and his eyes regained the firmness and brightness of the past, "Why do you still seem like your dream has come true?"

"One of them, vacation." Wu Shiyu shrugged, "There are several other dreams, I will tell you later."

[April of the Year of the Violet

Shar city, perish

Purcell City, perish

Kewei City, perish

Wyxias City, perish

May of the Year of the Violet

Edge, perish

Beckett City, perish

South City, perish

June of the Violet Year]

At the same time, the abnormal power that enveloped the mountain like a storm gradually stopped and dissipated. The surrounding mountain scenery after the early spring rain immediately showed its original vitality, and the earthy smell in the air also made people feel fragrant.

The corrector team was in front, Master Tong, Deng Ximei, Uncle Dan and others were behind, and Zhai Minghui and others followed behind.

Now that the dreadful darkness has receded, so are the invisible boulders that bar the way. He Feiling stepped up to the top of the mountain, and after confirming that he was safe, he waved to the people behind him, and said through the intercom: "Captain Gu is in stable condition and has agreed to leave. Lord Tong, come here."

Soon, everyone appeared on the top of the mountain.

Because the mountain road is narrow and the top of the mountain is narrow, only three members of the corrector team came up, and the group of relatives and friends led by Lord Tong was the most crowded, Deng Ximei, Cai Zixuan, Wang Ruoxiang and Uncle Dan. Jun's eyes expressed his support.

And those reviewers stood by the mountain pass and were responsible for observing and considering these things.

At this time, Gu Jun was very calm, with an uncontrollable tiredness on his face, he said: "Everyone, please forgive me." Wu Shiyu next to him said: "You don't need to put on handcuffs, do you?"

"What handcuffs, let's go." Master Tong greeted Gu Jun, "Ah Jun, let's talk when we go back."

"You don't need handcuffs, Captain Gu, just follow us." He Feiling said with respect in his expression, "This way please."

handcuffs? If Gu Jun wanted to forcefully leave here, no one could stop him just now, although his abnormality has subsided now, it is unnecessary.

Gu Jun nodded, cheered up, and walked from the edge of the cliff to the direction of the mountain steps. Everyone gave way, and He Feiling and other three correctors were about to follow.

It was also at this time that Wu Shiyu suddenly caught a glimpse of the forest over there from the corner of his eyes, as if there was a figure of a crow passing through.

"Kalop, Kalop, Son of Iron, Son of Doom..." Di Minghui murmured softly, but no one could hear him.

Another violent headache flashed by, every nerve cell was aching, those exotic phantasms almost spewed out...

From those texts and those incomplete drawings, Zhai Minghui knew more... Hemoptysis is irreversible, it is impossible to do it with mortal strength, we can only delay its arrival, do everything possible to delay its arrival , a civilization also has a lifespan, just like a person can die young and live to be a hundred years old...

Delay, delay... Free medical care for all people in the two worlds can be delayed, but it cannot be realized in the current world...

However, there can be other delays, other blocking...

Yes, there is a silence.

At this moment when Gu Jun was walking towards him, Zhai Minghui's right hand suddenly pulled out a black 92-type pistol that had been prepared from his pocket, raised his aim, pulled the trigger, bang, bang, bang!

"Captain Gu, I'm sorry."

In an instant, flesh and blood splattered out. The first bullet hit Gu Jun's right forehead, pierced the peek skull, and pierced the frontal lobe... The second bullet hit Gu Jun's left eye, and the eyeball exploded. Before the eyes solidified, they burst open, a big blood hole was opened in the eye socket, and the bullet continued to penetrate into the brainstem...

Even though the people around have experienced so much, in this fleeting moment, their bodies still seemed to be cut off suddenly, and they were shocked by great surprise, and then panicked about Gu Jun's injury.

When the second bullet hit, He Feiling, who was a little slow to react due to excessive mental exhaustion, had already stretched out his hand to push Gu Jun away, and many people rushed towards Zhai Minghui, but it was still too late.

After the two bullets passed, Zhai Minghui raised the muzzle of the pistol and aimed it at his right temple, and pulled the trigger for the third time without any pause. The bullet passed through, bursting out tearful broken flesh and blood.

With a bang, Zhai Minghui fell on the rugged ground on the top of the mountain, blood pools flowed from his head, and the pupils of his eyes began to expand, gradually turning into a corpse.

Wu Shiyu supported Gu Jun who was shot, and the salty blood splashed on her face, making her stiff and cold.

She saw Master Tong and Deng Ximei shouting uncontrollably, but she couldn't hear them. She held onto Gu Jun's arm tightly, but couldn't grasp the passing salty taste, the feeling of the scalpel soon disappeared, and it became blank, he lost strength, he was bleeding, a lot of blood...

"Shiyu, put him on the ground!" Uncle Dan, Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan all rushed up, "Rescue, rescue!"

A shot in the brain does not necessarily lead to death. As long as the brain stem is not damaged, there is no certainty...

Master Tong was on the verge of falling, and roared wildly towards the command center, how could Di Minghui carry a gun, who gave him the gun, and who gave the order.

Deng Ximei's face was already in tears.

But for Wu Shiyu, all the sounds seemed to be far away, and she fell to the ground.

Gu Jun's body was put down with the support of Uncle Dan and Cai Zixuan, and he immediately started CPR. Wang Ruoxiang stopped the bleeding beside him, and stuffed the bleeding cotton and gauze into Gu Jun's bleeding right forehead and left side. Go into the two bullet wound cavities of the eye sockets, the cavities are more than 10m...

It hurts too much, too much...

Wang Ruoxiang's hands trembled slightly, and exerted strength, but the gauze was almost pushed out by the surging blood, with broken brain tissue and slurry...

Soon, the medical team left on the viewing platform rushed up, and a rescue helicopter was approaching the top of the mountain.

Only gradually, the people on the top of the mountain fell into silence.

The heartbeat has stopped, breathing has also stopped, the pupil of the still intact right eye has dilated, and the whole body is cold and unresponsive.

Severely destructive brain injury, massive hemorrhage, crp and ecmo are no longer useful...

The cold wind blows the shadows of the trees, and everyone on the top of the mountain has to face this fact.

Gu Jun is dead.

Rain fell from the dark sky, gradually becoming torrential, washing the blood away from the ground on the top of the mountain, and flowing down the steps.

Die, die, die.

Everyone is mortal.

Die, die, die.

Some die evil and some die good.
