Plague Doctor

The electric wire tower stood there, only a dozen meters away from everyone, and it seemed that even the desolate smell of withered grass around it could be smelled.

"I'll go over and take a look, and you guys will follow me in the car." Gu Jun decided.

At this moment, although ordinary people like Catherine were a little bit murmuring, they returned to the car and drove slowly next to the Nightmare Man.

Gu Jun took a few steps on the barren sand and felt a little light. Is it an illusion? It seemed that the car next to him was also floating... He walked straight to the front of the electric wire tower and walked around it, but there was nothing there. What a discovery.

He didn't reach out and touch the power tower, that wouldn't be a smart move.

When he looked up at the top of the tower, he saw that it went straight into the sky, as if connecting the sky and the earth... He remembered something and asked aloud: "Peacock, what do you think of the third secret of contact in the Seven Secrets of the Earth?" The source of power you came across is 'a power that can connect the earth and the sky', can you explain it more clearly?"

"Heaven and earth are one, and all things are integrated." Peacock frowned, "It's like... truly feeling the void."

"Sir, do you suspect that this has something to do with the power of the scripture?" Mo Qing asked doubtfully, "I didn't feel it." Jin Zhu and others shook their heads in the same way.

Gu Jun pondered without saying anything, but just thought to himself that the Earth Wanderers did not fully come into contact with that power at the end of the third secret, and their feelings were incomplete.

But this was just an uneasy suspicion on his part. After all, this matter was inseparable from the traces of this scripture.

After looking for a while and finding nothing, Gu Jun took a pillow and threw it down as a mark, walked back to the Chevrolet car and took back the driver's seat, "Let's go back and take a look."

The two cars turned around and drove back towards the back road. It was already noon, and the sunlight shining down from the scorching sun in the sky became more and more fierce, and the entire land seemed to be burning.

Thinking back on what happened, it was a turning point when they drove from the dirt road back to the asphalt road. Soon after that, the GPS broke down and the cell phone signal was lost. It was then that they entered this abnormal space. That power tower was just the place where they should be. A marker of range.

Because this was a straight road, the two cars drove in almost side by side. Not long after, Catherine's nervous and surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Oh no..."

Although he had expected it, Gu Jun's heart still felt like it was in an ice cellar. The electric wire tower appeared again, right in front. Compared with just now, it should be said that it was behind.

"How could this happen?" Jinzhu's original body, Sears King, stammered, "You didn't admit your mistake, did you?"

"Look, that pillow..." Shuiyu's original body, Annie He, turned pale, "The brown one... is the same pillow."

For ordinary office workers whose last memories were of leaving home to go to work, what is happening now is horrifying.

But even for earth wanderers such as peacocks, it is shuddering.

The two cars slowly approached, and they saw that it was indeed the same pillow, but it was not in the haystack before. It seemed to have been blown to pieces by the strong wind. The strangest thing was that it had become worn out and stained with a lot of dirt. The soil looks like a lot of time has passed since it was left here...

"I don't understand," Tom muttered. "Are we trapped here?"

"Look over there!" Catherine exclaimed in surprise. The end of the horizon of the highway was filled with vehicles, piled up in random directions. There were no such cars when she came here before.

Gu Jun had already seen it earlier. They were all small cars. Some looked very old, as if they had been parked there for a long time, and the models were also very old. Some were very new, as if they had only been parked for a day or two.

They stopped a few meters away and looked around. There were sixteen cars in total. Some doors were open and some were closed, but they were all shrouded in dead silence and there was no sign of anyone.

Everyone got out of the car again. Gu Jun was worried about their inspection capabilities and inspected the car personally.

He didn't touch them, nor did he smash the glass window and open the door. He just looked at them with his eyes, but he could see that the car owners seemed to be in a hurry when they left.

"Oh my God..." Catherine looked inside an old white GM car. There was a photo frame on the dashboard. There was a family photo in the frame. It was vaguely visible through the mud and dust. It was a white family. Couple and two children.

Gu Jun asked her what was wrong, and she stuttered: "I think I've seen them. When I was a child, I was still living in Wharton Town, about ten years old, and one day the town was suddenly filled with missing person notices from the police. This is the family that disappeared while driving nearby.”

"Wharton is really a small town, and this was big news at the time." The more she looked at the photo, the more frightened she became, "There were all kinds of things, serial murderers, devils... we kids were all frightened. Yes, I remember it very clearly."

"Kate, you mean." Tom was stunned, "So they were trapped here? What happened in the end?"

"There is no end, idiot, they have been missing." Catherine helplessly scolded her boyfriend.

Gu Jun narrowed his eyes and looked around at the vehicles, thinking about what this meant...

Are they all trapped cars? Some for decades, some just now? That’s why the car is both old and new... So in the end, where did the people in the car go?

Everyone was also thinking about this problem, looking east and west. Both sides of the road were desolate and rugged sand, with scattered weeds and low trees. If there is no way to go from the front to the back, you can only go to both sides. This kind of terrain is difficult even for off-road vehicles.

"Let's go and take a look here." Gu Jun walked in one direction, to the southwest of Wharton Town. Peacock and the others were carrying the old seal stone.

They walked a few hundred meters on the sand under the scorching sun, and saw something in front of them. Catherine, Tom and others

The faces of the five people suddenly turned pale, and Annie He covered her mouth in discomfort. If Shuiyu's personality hadn't held them down, she would have vomited everywhere.

"Ah... damn..."

"It's really, oh..."

There are some corpses kneeling on the ground in front of them, including adults and children. Their heads are missing. They have been chopped off from the neck. These headless corpses are not stacked on top of each other. They are separated by a certain distance, but they are all facing the wires. Kneeling in the direction of the tower, it seems to form a large circle with the power line tower as the midpoint.

But to encircle this circle, the number of corpses needed is more than ten and a hundred...

Looking closer, the dozens of corpses they saw were all mummified corpses. The shriveled skin exposed by the shabby clothes was close to the bones, but there was no decay, but there was an extremely unpleasant smell. The clothes of several corpses were still fresh and clean, and they seemed to have died at different times.

Gu Jun's head was aching, and the turmoil in his heart was surging again, flashing through some of the death visions he had seen when he came back from the passage between the two realms.

Where did the heads of these corpses go...Are they stuck on bamboo poles and stood up...somewhere?

"This may be a ritual." Peacock said coldly, "I don't know it, but it looks like a sacrificial ritual." Mo Qing and the others nodded in agreement with a stern face.

If this is a sacrificial ceremony. Gu Jun looked around. These people who mistakenly entered this space were sacrifices. Are they included now?

Love the Plague Doctor.
