Plague Doctor

In the dark barrel, when Gu Jun saw these mission rewards, he really wanted to scream, but he kept himself calm.

He first looked at the host information column, but found that all his body indicators changed to "?", indicating that he was in an abnormally paralyzed state.

He looked at the four rewards one by one, "1 Calop scalpel". Obviously he couldn't claim this right now, otherwise he might just stab himself to death if it fell into the barrel. The whereabouts of the three dissecting instruments are still unknown. They may be on him, on Zugena, or on the black merchant's side.

"It's a scalpel, not a scalpel." Gu Jun thought to himself, "This can trigger illusions related to treatment."

But if he had an illusion now, the energy he had finally recovered might be completely wiped out.

"Ten pages of the incomplete curse book." He carefully checked the floating objects on the sea of ​​consciousness. These ten pages were combined with the previous page of the curse book. They seemed to be different pages in the same curse book. He pulled the page closer and took a look, and saw that it was also filled with notes, written in Langton's handwriting.

"Last time, I was rewarded with one page for completing an abyss mission. This time, I was rewarded with ten pages."

This also shows how difficult that nightmare house is to deal with, and destroying it is a great achievement.

Reading the curse book consumes a lot of energy, so Gu Jun did not read it in detail for the time being, but just glanced at the content.

These ten pages cover more of the basics of spells, with an emphasis on "rituals."

There are two main types of spells, one is incantation and the other is ritual.

Compared with simply chanting and casting spells, rituals often have stronger effects, and some things can only be achieved through rituals.

Each ceremony has detailed requirements, and different ceremonies have different requirements:

Celestial phenomena, time of year, climate, location, number of people, procedures, tools, spells, sacrifices...

"Rituals also require sacrifices, and usually more sacrifices..." Gu Jun looked at it thoughtfully, thinking of the bent-limb burial pit, the Inuit people on the top of the ice and snow mountain, the sacrifices to the banyan tree in the next life, and the next life. Will be devoured by carefully designed altars...

Those are all rituals, all inseparable from fanaticism and darkness.

However, it is also written in these ten pages of the curse book that there are dark rituals and light rituals.

Gu Jun unknowingly took a closer look, and also read some of Langton's notes. He felt a mental pain before letting him stop.

This ten-page spell book was of great help to him in understanding spells and rituals. If he can bring this knowledge back, it will also be a help to the Tianji Bureau. But it seemed to be of little use to his current predicament.

At this time, Gu Jun paid attention to the caretaker's diary. After he devoured the nightmare house, he didn't know what the caretaker's young man's dream became. Now the prompt says "saved"? He thought for a while before opening the diary and taking a look.

Added text in the last few pages of the diary states that Dr. Carlop cured the town residents and the entire plague, and the town of Wasan returned to its former peace.

Suddenly, a new prompt box popped up in the system:

[Your spirit has been purified, and the erosion degree is -0.1, now 48.9]

"Huh?" Gu Jun did feel like he was refreshed. This was an unexpected surprise, although it was only -0.1.

This degree of decline somewhat illustrates how seriously he has been eroded now.

But it is great news that it can subside. There is hope for recovery!

Gu Jun suddenly felt excited. Although the wall of the barrel was still in front of him, light seemed to be shining through.

After closing the diary, he continued to observe the "three old photos" without zooming in to take a closer look. They seemed to be landscape photos, but they were old but gave people a bright feeling.

He clicked on the leftmost one and took a closer look. Sure enough, he felt refreshed again... This color photo looked like a very ordinary landscape photo. He could not recognize where the green mountains and green waters in the photo were, and there were no Strange feeling, there is no shooting and printing date, and I don’t know who took the photo.

[Your spirit has been purified, and the erosion degree is -0.01, now 48.89]

"-0.01?" Gu Jun's mood was complicated and he continued to look at the other two photos. They were also landscape photos, and each had the same erosion level of -0.01.

After three photos, the erosion level became 48.87, which was very slow, but he felt something else... as if the texture of his mental power was a little different.

The fading of this corrosive force is also a kind of digestion?

"If this is the case..." he thought, "if I digest all this erosion, my mental power will become very powerful, right? But what will I become?"

There is no answer to this question now. Gu Jun first opens the task list to see how to save himself.

If he still had to treat illnesses, save lives, or dissect something, then he would probably have to rest.

[Normal task: Complete rolling your eyeballs 3,000 times in one day, task reward: 1 old photo

Difficult task: Roll your eyeballs 15,000 times in three days. Task reward: 5 old photos

Abyss mission: Complete the erosion degree 10 within a week, mission reward: unknown]

Gu Jun understood that the content of system tasks would be adjusted according to his status, and rolling his eyes was the only thing he could do at the moment. "Old photos" should be the same as the ones just now. They can be regarded as a kind of spiritual food that can purify erosion.

Ordinary tasks are no problem; difficult tasks don't take three days, and can be completed in one day if you grit your teeth.

System tasks are refreshed every day and completed every day

A difficult task...

"If each photo can be -0.01, it can be -0.05 in one day." Gu Jun calculated, "The erosion degree is about 8, and the body can probably return to its previous state. Then it will take 20 days to reduce 1, and 40 It takes 800 days.”

For 800 days, if I can survive without incident and rely on this method to save myself, it will still take more than two years.

"It's been too long." Gu Jun muttered, as if he had been poured cold water on his head. There was no way this group of black businessmen had kept him for two years in vain.

And two years in the dream world, how long is it in the earth world?

He didn't know the exchange ratio between the two. It seemed that the ratio was different on desert islands and nightmare houses. It probably varied with different areas of the dream world. So his two years may also be two years, several years, or even longer outside.

Perhaps for the power of the system, time is meaningless, and two years is just a short moment; but it is different for him.

Gu Jun's consciousness turned to the abyss mission. This was really a paradox. He couldn't move because of the high erosion rate, so how could it fade by 10 in a week?

But according to past experience, there is a chance that the abyss mission can be completed...

"Five sweet dreams." Gu Jun finally looked at the reward. It was the first reward he had seen. Is the opportunity in it?

Sweet dreams. He remembered that the old captain Balsai of the White Ship wanted to take away 100 sweet dreams from him and Wu Shiyu. Are the two the same thing?

This special reward is only given to 5 people, which shows that this kind of "sweet dream" is very precious. Looking at it now, the old captain wanted to take away a hundred... It was really cruel. If it weren't for the complex power within his body, it's hard to predict what the consequences would be.

"What's the use of this 'sweet dream'?"

He only saw five radiant bubbles suspended in a place on the sea, which seemed to be flashing some gorgeous scenes and five beautiful dreams.

He thought about what the old captain Balcer had explained: "Nightmares have power, and beautiful dreams also have power. But everyone's dreams are limited. If you lose these dreams, you will lose the ability to dream. Those who have been robbed of their dreams will , will also be called by dreams."

"Are these five sweet dreams from someone else? Are they five sweet dreams of the same person, or one sweet dream of five different people?"

"Is the dream a one-time consumption, or can it be used multiple times?"

"Can it directly reduce my corrosiveness? Or can I use it to perform some kind of summoning?"

Gu Jun looked at the five bubbles, and many questions rushed through his mind. He felt that these dreams could not directly reduce the erosion, but they would bring opportunities. You have to find out whether this is the case, but there are only five sweet dreams, and they can't afford for him to mess around.

"Either digest this erosion, or be swallowed by this erosion."

There is no answer if you don’t try. He thought for a while and decided to try it for a while and stop immediately if anything went wrong. He mustered up his energy and tried to click on the dream bubble on the far left. Circles of ripples suddenly appeared on it, and the bubble grew larger, seeming to pull him in...

"Hmm." Gu Jun didn't feel any mental discomfort, so he just let it go and entered this beautiful dream.

Love the Plague Doctor.
