Plague Doctor

The barracks was very quiet. Looking at the TV screen, Gu Jun felt that the patient in the video was also looking at him.

"This is a simple identification procedure." Captain Wang Ke explained, "The identified people are all 1024 patients who have experienced delirium in the camp."

Do you recognize the program? Gu Jun knows that this is a method of criminal investigation, usually the victim and witnesses identify the suspect...

"We mixed 30 photos of people with different body shapes, facial features, and hairstyles. The psychological team confirmed that there were no characteristic hints in them. Before the identification, we did not make any hints to any patients. "

Wang Ke also said, "The process of identification is to use the computer to show the 30 photos to the person to be identified in a random order. No identification is performed at first, and the person who is identified is asked if there is any person who looks like you in the second random playback. Did you see it in delirium? If you were asked to choose a photo, which one would it be?"

At this time, in the screen image, the patient's eyes suddenly widened slightly, and he raised his finger, "It's this person, I've seen this person before."

Immediately, the video switched to a camera position, and Gu Jun saw that there was a computer in front of the patient, and the photo that stopped on the computer screen was a photo of an intern from the Tianji Bureau. It's him, Gu Jun.

"..." Gu Jun took a deep breath in silence, but he couldn't let go of his tensed heart. He didn't know this patient, and he had never seen it before.

Without waiting for him to think about it, the video was replaced by the next patient, and then the next one...but the stopped photos were all the same one, Gu Jun.

The members of the investigation team standing around looked at him coldly, sharply, and questioningly, as if they were asking him for an explanation.

This may be their psychological offensive, to put pressure on him, to tell him to confess and be lenient.

"Doctor Gu, among the 1024 people who were identified, 751 of them were identified as you." Captain Wang Ke may be the one with a red face, but his tone was still calm and objective: "The remaining 206 people did not make a choice, and 67 people chose other people. .And among the 751 identifyrs who chose you, more than half of 397 said that they remembered seeing you in delirium hallucinations, but could not remember specific things."

Cao Yicong, Tang Ziying and the others almost stared at Gu Jun.

They didn't know anything about Gu Jun in private, and after getting along for a while, they still felt that he was quite pleasing to the eye.

However, with a consistency of 73, this number is very high even in ordinary criminal identification—there may only be a few witnesses and a dozen photos.

But now there are 1024 identifyrs, 30 photos, and 73 unanimously selected the same person.

Gu Jun is not a public figure, and has never been exposed in any news. He has never even uploaded his own photos to the Internet.

The investigation team has already investigated these situations, so why is this happening? It can only be because of abnormal power.

"Doctor Gu, we suspect..." Wang Ke's broad Chinese character face was only serious at the moment, "You are the 'thing in the banyan tree' that patients with the banyan tree disease say."

"Captain Wang, everyone." Gu Jun said softly, the luck in his heart was completely wiped out by this pot of cold water, and the bone-chilling cold caused a bone-chilling confusion, "I don't know what's going on, I hope you can give me a the truth……"

He looked at this and that, but found that except for Captain Wang Ke, everyone's eyes were still stern, and they were still exerting pressure on him.

This made him suddenly a little angry, I am different from the gang of murderers in the next life!

He thought of Wang Ruoxiang, Zixuan, Zhu Zhudao, Brother Qiang, Professor Gu...

I think of the desperation in the laboratory, the hard work in the training room, the struggle in the operating room, those joyous laughter, and those tears.

Those re-established senses of belonging, as well as my own determination to practice medicine that was finally down to earth.

"I'm a doctor." Gu Jun fixed his eyes, and said in a calm and powerful voice: "I just participated in an operation before I came here. I took out the larvae of the wounded man's right upper limb one by one, and all The trophozoites, cysts, and oocysts must also be cleaned up, and we did it for 13 hours."

He has seen the cruelty of the afterlife in his nightmares, and he has also grasped some clues from visions and memories. He does not doubt that the afterlife and even himself are connected behind this incident.

But... Gu Jun glanced at the faces of Wang Ke and Cao Yicong, "Officers, I hate the culprits behind the Yirong disease as much as you do. I wish I could help you catch them all tonight, but I am responsible for Healing diseases and saving lives is all I can do.”

After hearing Gu Jun's solemn words, everyone's eyes softened.

After more than ten hours of surgery, he didn't drink a drop of water. He was indeed a man.

"Doctor Gu." Wang Ke was also gentle, "We don't suspect that you made them sick, there is a connection. These suspicions are based on clues and evidence, and this matter is just one of the things we have learned. A situation."

"What else is going on?" Gu Jun asked.

"Let's do an experiment first, time is tight, Dr. Gu, you should take the night shift."

At that moment, Wang Ke took the lead and several subordinates led Gu Jun to another small barracks next to him. This is an identification room. There is a transparent glass wall between the front room and the back room. Gu Jun was arranged to sit On a chair in the back room, facing the front room.

"Doctor Gu, next we will let those 1024 patients, in teams of ten, come in to see you and see if anything will happen."

After Wang Ke told him, he took the team members out of the front room.

Yes, and closed the soundproof door between the two rooms.

"..." Gu Jun could notice the cameras in the upper corners all around, looking out through the glass window, Wang Ke and the others stood aside.

Soon, Tang Ziying and another investigator brought a group of ten patients in for identification. The patients included men, women and children, some were old men in wheelchairs, some were middle-aged women with crutches, and some had already passed away. There are young people who can use prosthetic limbs proficiently, and there are also girls who have an empty cuff.

As soon as they saw him, they were all agitated, panicked and unbelievable. Why did the figure in the delirium hallucination really sit there?

The girl turned pale with fright and hurriedly hid behind the adults, but even so, she still cried and was taken away by Tang Ziying in advance.

Gu Jun didn't move, his expression didn't change, he just sat quietly, vaguely hearing the buzzing whispers of the patients outside to the investigators...

A group of patients went out, and another group of patients came in. The faces of panic and fear continued to increase, and the buzzing sound kept ringing...

Those faces and that whispering voice were also constantly impacting Gu Jun. His head started to hurt, and the hazy and frantic light and shadow loomed in front of his eyes. This feeling was no longer unfamiliar to him. Could it be that the illusion of that black and white photo...was about to be triggered...

"Why is there such a scene?" Gu Jun's gradually painful head couldn't figure it out. This is not the scene in the photo at all.

And now...he was being captured by the camera, and under the eyes of the investigators, any abnormalities could not escape the eyes of these people.

Don't come at this time! He gritted his teeth in pain and resisted the appearance of the illusion, but as batch after batch of patients appeared, those chaotic lights and shadows became more and more real... as if there were whispers ringing in his ears, getting louder and louder...

Gu Jun couldn't help pressing his head with both hands, but saw that the faces of each of the patients seemed to be the same face.

The face of the dead man.

What if... this is what Captain Wang Ke and the others want? Is this the only way to trigger the illusion of that photo?

"I need the truth, I need the answer... let's see..."

As soon as his thoughts changed painfully, Gu Jun suddenly fell into an illusion, but it was that nightmare again.

The sky was strangely dark, and a huge banyan tree stood there, with thick curved branches and messy roots, as if distorting the world.

On the extremely muddy land, hundreds of men in black and a dozen men in red all knelt on the ground, their heads pressed deeply against the rotten mud. They were worshiping the big banyan tree, muttering indescribable whispers, which seemed to be delirium and confusion, and seemed to be fanatical praises.

In the main trunk of the big banyan tree, there is a huge banyan tree hole formed by decay.

Inside the tree hole, a figure sat there majestically. It was a little boy who was only a few years old, wearing a strange suit and a crown made of intertwined branches, leaves and fibrous roots of the banyan tree. Like a king, like a god.

The little boy looked down at those kneeling worshipers, his childish face was expressionless, and his eyes were abyss-like in color, full of darkness.

That icy voice that resounded through the world was the words that the little boy was saying:

"I am the son of doom, you know, you are filth, you are fools, you are vile..."

Gu Jun recognized that this little boy was himself.

Gu Jun, the thing in the banyan tree.

I like Plague Doctor.
