Plague Doctor

"Shigure, did Tongye tell me whether these data are missing some kind of image?"

Gu Jun searched around in the box and couldn't find any descriptive information about the stone statue.

"Master Tong said that what you are looking for but can't find is what he thinks is not suitable for you to see for the time being. Those things may be more terrifying to you than nightmare sickness."

Wu Shiyu said while sitting on the sofa motionless.

"Actually, you have brought complete information, right?" Gu Jun looked at her, the spiritual connection was far from perfect, but he could guess it, and said seriously: "You can help me contact Mr. Tong right away, I want to see that stone sculpture! If you don’t look at the key things, there will be no real gains.”

"Xianjun, I knew you would be like this." Wu Shiyu tilted his head and spread his hands, "You are a stubborn person, and I will only give it a try if I have to give it a try."

She slowly stood up and walked outside, "Then please stop for a while. But I know you won't stop, just let it go."

"Xianyu, you are right." Gu Jun continued to browse the information.

At that time, the Secret Bureau was wondering what archaeologist Liu Daze meant when he said, "I know where they are buried."

Do those martyrs symbolize missing children? Do both share the same fate? Missing children were also sacrificed by pagans to that stone statue they worshiped?

Just when various interpretations were rampant, Tongye found a strange photo among the items found in Liu Daze's house.

At this time, Gu Jun was looking at this old and yellowed photo, and his mind began to feel a little trance...

In the photo, Liu Daze is standing in a mountain forest, his face blurred, and the gloomy tree shadows around him are messy and twisted, forming some strange shapes.

At that time, Tong Ye keenly recognized this mountain forest and thought it was Xionglin Mountain in the northwest of Guangting City.

The Fire Phoenix Team's walk into the mountainous Xionglin Mountain was another beginning.

What really happened in Xionglin Mountain is still shrouded in mystery.

The file specifically says that during the last S-value test before entering the mountain, Tongye's mental condition was assessed as "too much pressure and in need of rest." Tongye believed that the stone sculpture affected his spirit. There are many people in the team who also have this situation. Dr. Shen Xuanchen, who was the team's psychiatrist at the time, reported the team's abnormal anxiety. But it didn't attract much attention at the time. After all, stress and anxiety are common situations in mobile task forces.

"Huh." Gu Jun frowned and opened another box, which contained reports from the 62 Fire Phoenix members.

The other 43 team members all died in that operation into the mountain, and some of them have autopsy reports.

In order to prevent his own subjective influence, Gu Jun randomly picked out one report and read it, then another, and gradually pieced together the situation at that time.

Because the conditions were still backward and the environment in Xionglin Mountain was complicated, communication was cut off shortly after the Fire Phoenix team entered the mountain.

As they went deeper into the forest, worse happened.

"A heavy fog suddenly arose." Fire team member Zhang He said in his report, "This kind of mountain forest is always foggy when it comes to fog, so we didn't pay attention at first, but soon the visibility was less than 1 Mi, we couldn't see where the others were, but we heard some strange noises..."

Everyone has different descriptions of the sound. Dr. Shen's report said: "It's an auditory hallucination. Each of us hears something different."

Shrouded in that fog, they all found themselves lost, the intercom equipment also malfunctioned, and there were vague tree shadows everywhere.

"Suddenly there was a bang, and I heard the first gunshot." Researcher Zhu Zhanrong said, the report recorded that her body was shaking slightly when she spoke, suppressing her obvious fear, "Then bang bang, there were guns everywhere. There were sounds, and there were screams that I couldn’t tell who it was..."

There was chaos, gunfire, and "black shadows" looming in the fog.

They all saw the black shadow, but their descriptions of the shape of the black shadow were different.

Some team members said it was a human figure, others said it was a huge shadow, others said it was tree branches or beasts...

"That's a spell." Tong Ye said in his report. "I don't think it's a shadow with a substantial existence. It's because our spirits have been confused."

At that time, there were still three team members who were not separated from Tong Ye. Dr. Shen was one of them, as well as firepower personnel Zhang Zhijian and investigator Fang Jianrong.

The three people's statements are the same. The most important point is that Tongye did not fire the gun and was not in those positions.

Later identification of gunshot traces showed that 19 of the 43 team members who were shot and killed were killed by Tong Ye's rifle.

"No wonder..." Gu Jun suddenly understood why Tongye was not believed back then.

The files show that this is indeed an important reason why the Tianji Bureau put a question mark on Tong Ye's remarks.

The most reasonable inference at the time was that Tong Ye had a mental breakdown in the fog due to his low S value, which led to this tragedy. But this cannot explain those testimonies. It is possible that four people colluded, but it is impossible for a gun to shoot people in multiple places far apart at almost the same time.

Therefore, the final decision of the Arbitration Department was that the evidence was insufficient and the judgment was temporarily suspended, but Tong Ye was forced to retire.

At that time in Xiong Linshan, Tong Ye and Dr. Shen lost their way, which was a watershed. Dr. Shen said: "We all suffered a definite mental attack, which was sudden and explosive. One second we were very conscious, and the next second we seemed to be confused."

When the three of them came to their senses, Tong Ye had disappeared. Their story goes on to stay put and defend against a tree until the fog

Retreat, and then begin a series of cleaning up the mess.

And in Tong Ye’s report…

"I heard a call and walked over in a daze. It was completely out of my control." Tong Ye described it like this back then. Gu Jun now understands what it feels like. "I don't know where I am. Look. When I arrived, there was a group of men in black in the fog, about a dozen people wearing masks, and they were looking at me."

"There was an old Taoist man there. He didn't seem to be wearing a mask, but his appearance was obscured by the smoke and he couldn't see clearly. I said he was a Taoist man because I had a feeling... that the old man was not an ordinary person, but had extraordinary power..."

Gu Jun calmly looked at these transcripts of Tong Ye's words, and could feel the confusion and a hint of fear inside.

"The old Taoist told me that they have been waiting for my arrival for a long time."
