Plague Doctor

[Barry: Mr. Wells, I'm sorry to remind you of this, but this is our job, and we ask for your cooperation.

Baldwin: In fact, we are helping you, let's put it this way, Mr. Wells, to clear you of suspicion of collaboration with the enemy.

Wells: Collaboration? I don't! Don't see me so scared now and think I'm a coward... If you saw what I saw, you might go crazy on the spot... It's not a freak show in a circus, Although that thing was more grotesque than any deformity; it was not a desolate scene in a cemetery, although that thing was more eerie and terrifying than any scene in the world.

BARRY: Sir, we want to believe you. Please describe it.

Wells: That huge, abominable foreign object... is difficult to describe in words. There is a river under the hill, and it is there that it crawls out of the dark river, and the sound it makes...ah...my head hurts so much...

●Note: Jack Wells was pale and extremely agitated. He tried to hit his head on the table. The investigator asked him to take an aspirin.

BARRY Are you feeling better, sir? Can you continue to tell us?

Wells: That thing... that thing was probably hundreds of feet tall, and it was also covered in scales, a bit like the relief monster in the stone monument, but it had many limbs, and as soon as it climbed out of the water, it pounced on the stone stone... …As soon as I saw it, my head felt like it was being sawed open, and I felt so painful and scared. I might have lost my mind at that time. I don’t remember exactly how I escaped back to the boat or how I left. It seemed like I encountered a big storm, with loud thunder and other noises...

Baldwin: Can you be more specific about what that monster looks like?

Wells: I said, I can't be specific... It's indescribable. I asked you to describe the darkness. Can you describe it specifically? Darkness is darkness...

Barry: So why do you think it's Dagon, the fish god from Philistine legend?

Wells: I still vaguely remember the storm. In addition to the thunder, there seemed to be shouts... That's why I think the corpses on the shore were sacrifices. The shouts were very much like the shouts of believers offering sacrifices to the gods. It was like that at that time, those damn pagans... They just shouted such a name, Dagon, Dagon...

Baldwin: Could that just be your imagination? When people are in a state of hunger and fear, they are likely to have hallucinations.

Wells: I...I'm not sure, but these days after I wake up, I seem to always see it. It seems to be following me, just nearby...

BARRY: Mr. Wells, I can assure you that there are no sea monsters hundreds of feet tall near this hospital.

Wells: No, you don't understand me... It's in my brain, those monsters are sucking my brain, damn... I need morphine, please give me morphine, just give me morphine My brain is not anesthetized, it will appear...

Baldwin: Sir, the doctor thinks what you really need is peace of mind.

Wells: You don't believe me, everyone thinks I'm just talking crazy... I also hope, hope this is just my delirium... I hope...]

After reading this page, the turmoil in Gu Jun's heart became stronger and stronger, almost making his heart beat.

He believed that the storm Wells encountered existed. Because the vision he saw during the previous dissection included such a storm and such a surprising and fanatical shout of "Dagon". That must have been the voice of Dagon's worshipers.

Relief? He also thought of the relief slabs and statues worshiped by R'lyeh believers. Dagon and R'lyeh must be related.

But Dagon should not be equal to Cthulhu. According to evil believers, the Lord of R'lyeh is an old ruler who has been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years, and Dagon was still active a hundred years ago.

Instead of a cult that directly worshiped Cthulhu, there may have been a "Secret Order of Dagon" that revered Dagon like the Philistines.

Maybe the Secret Cult of Dagon... is part of the R'lyeh Order?

His thoughts were in a mess. Gu Jun took a breath, looked at the "doctor's opinion" on the document, and went to look at the separate medical report.

【San Francisco Jose Hospital, Department of Psychiatry

Physician: Dr. Anthony Finger, Date: 4-25-1920

Patient: Jack Wells, gender: male, race: white, age: 40 years old, height and weight: 6 feet 1 inch, 168 pounds

Diagnosis: shellshock, morphine addiction

Detailed report: The patient is a naval officer who was captured by the German army. This experience caused him mental trauma. His symptoms include high tension, long-term panic, insomnia, and delirium, so he was diagnosed with shell shock. During the course of treatment, the patient quickly became addicted to morphine, became suicidal, and needed more spiritual care. 】

Gu Jun looked at this old medical report and frowned slightly. Shellshock was the old name, but now it's called PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.

But is that really ordinary PTSD?

Jack Wells is definitely not a coward, but very tough, otherwise it would be impossible to escape after being captured and survive drifting at sea.

But such a tough guy lost his mind just by looking at Dagon, that indescribable monster...

"Is it because of mental erosion?" The more Gu Jun thought about it, the more his heart sank. It was not uncommon for people to be mentally traumatized by seeing stressors, but they had seen many strange creatures, including ghouls, deep divers, night divers, and so on. Nightmare, even if it is temporarily affected, there will be no mental erosion.

Dagon, shouldn’t he be an ordinary alien, a “fish god”? Was this monster involved in this disaster? What does it have to do with the afterlife and Yiwen people?

relation?

Gu Jun had a lot of questions. He always felt like there was something ready to come out, but he just couldn't grasp it. He was just a little short of being able to figure out the direction...

He read through all the information documents on the conference table, and then looked through them again to make sure there was nothing special about them. At that time, the Navy Department of Citigroup did not invest much effort in this case. The case was closed on the assumption that Wells was rescued after surviving on Zaragomez Island for several years and then went to sea. He suffered from shell shock and became insane.

"Zaragomez Island." Gu Jun murmured the name of the place. He might need to go to this place.

After he organized his thoughts, he opened the conference video and communicated with the command center to express his thoughts. Wells, these things should be true. There is something strange in that area of ​​the sea, and there may be an abnormal space leading to Dagon's lair. This strange disease may be inseparable from Dagon's power.

His words were just an attitude and did not bring any new breakthroughs. The relevant investigation actions had already been carried out earlier.

So the meeting ended quickly, and Gu Jun immediately went back to the dissection room. Although his temples on both sides were a little swollen and painful, he continued the dissection.

Whether it was obtained or activated at that time, his system was triggered at the bottom of Longkan. The seabed peak he saw at that time seemed to have many inscriptions and reliefs on it... But did that peak really exist? The Secret Bureau later went to the sea area for deep dive exploration and found nothing unusual.

What is the relationship between these things? Gu Jun put on the dissection clothes and rubber gloves again, and then walked to the dissection table.

You must get the ten-star reward for this abyss mission! Let's see what kind of answer this power will give him.

Love the Plague Doctor.
