These people in black are all wearing robes with large sleeves, the style is very strange to everyone, but looking at the weird patterns on the robes, they belong to the same style as the patterns on the kerosene lamp, the altar and the stone pillars of the altar. The civilized style just seems to have an extra distortion.
"Hit them, you may not be able to hit them now!" Lou Xiaoning was angry and anxious, and almost couldn't bear to grab the gun, but was stopped by Uncle Dan.
Yes, the other party has come out of the fog, but if they can hit, will they come...
Xue Ba still gave the order to try. While killing the wolves, the firemen fired at the better figures in black, but all the bullets passed through.
There were hundreds of men in black all around, and they kept approaching. There was a man in red in each of the four directions, but they also missed.
"To hell, to hell..." Lin Mo murmured, sitting on a stretcher with one leg, unable to walk, which made him feel even more powerless.
It was not clear to the crowd whether those were mirages, ghosts, or if their minds had been disturbed and gone awry.
I saw the expressionless and haggard faces of men, their eyes were very cloudy, and they all opened their withered mouths, saying in unison:
"Gu Jun, open your eyes and see what you are, are you really the same as them?"
Xue Ba and the others just felt a little confused, but these words, accompanied by the sound of the ballad, drilled into Gu Jun's mind like an electric drill...
Drilling through his consciousness, he also drilled through his subconscious mind, tossing out some mysterious thoughts that came from nowhere.
"Can you name them?"
His brain was swollen and he was trembling all over. In the pain of confusion, Gu Jun felt that he had lost control of his body. He turned his head and looked at his teammates like a puppet on a string. Xue Ba, Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning, Lin Mo, Zhang Huohuo, Yang Henan, Zhou Yi, Gao Mingpeng... what else? anything else
Suddenly he could only call out the names of these eight people, and the other eight people seemed to become blurred and distant, becoming unreal, and he couldn't call out their names.
"Did these people really exist? Did you, Gu Jun, really exist? Open your eyes."
The cold calls around became more piercing, Gu Jun looked at the crowd again, Xue Ba, Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning... what else? What's everyone else's name? Who are they
Names are powerful. Names give soul as well as being. Animals in slaughterhouses never have names.
Forgetting the name, the memory and emotional connection between him and that person seemed to be cut off.
His mind became more and more lonely, blank and empty.
But other visions, lights and shadows are surging, it is the feeling that something is about to break out when I heard the indescribable whisper in Shidao before...
The roars of wild beasts and gunshots could no longer be heard, Gu Jun only heard the men in black and red say again: "Open your eyes!"
"Ah Jun, wake up!" Xue Ba was yelling anxiously, "You are Gu Jun, you really exist!" Uncle Dan was also yelling: "Ah Jun, did you hear me!"
They are shouting, but why is the voice so low? Gu Jun could only hear the two of them, the faces of the others were blurred, and their voices were fading away...
It's not that Gu Jun didn't resist, but the sound of the ballad pulled him to pieces. Did he already hear it when he was still a fetus
Or... earlier than the fetus
He seems to have been separated into two halves, and the other half does not know who it belongs to... It was the feeling when I was sitting in a banyan tree hole when I was a child...
The four broken stone pillars of the altar have become very high, and he himself is constantly falling... Entering delirium? Or return to the stillness of nothingness.
At the same time, Uncle Dan and the others, who were empty-handed and without a gun, were surprised to see that Gu Jun's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and bloodshot streaks were covered with fine lines like those stones.
And his face became cold, stiff and expressionless again.
"You abandoners..." A hoarse and gloomy voice sounded, which was completely different from Gu Jun's usual voice. He was looking at a man in red in front of him.
The man in red seems to be special. Uncle Dan and the others can see that the pattern on that red robe is different from other people's, which is even more weird.
But they don't understand this sentence, what apostasy? But they knew that the current Gu Jun was not the Gu Jun they knew.
His body seems to have been taken away by another personality...
"Don't touch him yet!" Xue Ba shouted to Zhang Huo and the others who were going to do something. First, they didn't know the situation, and second, their intuition that Gu Jun hadn't completely lost...
At this time, another new situation called their attention. The dilapidated altar under their feet suddenly seemed to come alive. The carvings on the stone pillars and the fine lines in the stone all had blood-like dark light flowing, an abnormal The power is at work.
Suddenly, they felt as if they had fallen into a cage, unable to move.
But Gu Jun's complexion was even uglier, and he seemed to be imprisoned...
Those alien wolves and ferocious beasts around the altar stopped whining and did not charge forward, as if they had seen something terrifying.
All the figures in robes also stopped around the altar, and the leading man in red said plainly: "We believe that those who abandon faith are better than those who are abandoned. Son of Doom, your birth is only a result of our cultivation and call." , you are not a god, you are just a sacrifice we offer to ourselves."
Gu Jun's still hazy consciousness suddenly fully understood...
The "spiritual boy" is also like a mother. Over the years, he has been pregnant with another life.
Just today, after he completed the entire coming-of-age ceremony, when his gnosis was extremely active, he called on that life, let it swallow him up, and break out of his shell.
The son of doom, descended into the world.
However, these people in the next life are not planning to believe in it, but to use this altar to absorb all the power brought by the son of misfortune.
This is the purpose of this game, he understood that he should be the only soul boy who has successfully descended from the gods in so many years.
Everything that the Afterlife Society did for him was for this moment, to reap the dark fruits that they sowed the seeds many years ago, and to renew themselves.
"Ah..." Gu Jun felt that he was being annihilated, and his mind and body fell into a silent and dead place.
But he still has some will, formed by the warmth of his teachers and friends, the expectations of his teammates, and his own unyielding.
Everything is a game, what is a game-breaker, a game-breaker...
The figures around the altar began to chant something again, this time their voices gradually became more fanatical.
Relying on that will, Gu Jun struggled to overcome this body for a moment, then stretched out his hand to reach for the medical kit on his waist.
He slowly pulled out the Kalop scalpel from the tool bag... Suddenly, the illusion burst.
