"The thing inside the banyan tree! Let me go …"
Inside the gloomy banyan forest, the twisted branches swayed. Strange wails kept entering Gu Jun's mind, stirring up the dark consciousness.
The ancient whispers of the abyss also whispered in his ears. It was the spell on the fifth page of the foreign paper.
It was a long and disorderly paragraph. There were no punctuation marks, and the specific meaning was unknown.
But the more he read, the more he felt it was strange and sinister.
"The mutated seed breaks through the rotten soil like a battle-ax Disintegrates Disgusts the stench Replaces the fragrant flesh and blood Gathers thousands of offspring Crosses the boundary to form again Bites the starlight Spreads the world of darkness The name of the Ancients shall not fall."
These delirious words were wrapping around Gu Jun like ghosts, as if inviting him to admire the creations of the Ancients around him.
Gu Jun tried his best to keep his mind steady as he walked through the forest. He had this feeling during his previous eight trips, and this time, it was even stronger.
It was the opening of the banyan tree hole that made his connection with the banyan trees closer. It was as if his blood vessels were connected to the branches, and the same dirty blood flowed through them …
"I am a doctor," Gu Jun said to himself. His footsteps became heavier, and his breathing became deeper. "That is the reason."
His parents were still missing, and it was still unknown whether they were good or bad. Other than that, he had no other family. When he was young, he asked his grandparents about them. His parents told him that they had passed away.
"Saving lives is my duty, and it is something I want to do. That is the reason."
Doctor … Should I really call you a … doctor?
At that moment, Gu Jun walked out of the banyan forest. The ground was littered with dead bodies. They were the bodies of mutated wolves and humans.
He took a deep breath, but all he could smell was a stronger stench. It was different from the smell under the operating room's surgical lights. This was the stench of murder.
He continued to walk towards the ruins of the altar in the middle. Most of the 115 human corpses were killed by his submachine gun.
At the time, in that chaotic state, and it was his first time using a gun, his accuracy was incredibly high. It was as if it was part of his nature.
The corpses were stiff, and the blood and brain matter on the ground had congealed. Some of the higher-ups from the Afterlife Cult had their heads crushed, but the ones that were not destroyed had blood leaking out from their noses and mouths. The bodies were bloated, and the faces looked like they were rotting. In this black, decaying land, corpses seemed to appear especially quickly.
In a trance, Gu Jun saw that they were all rotten and covered in piles of maggots, gnawing on their rotten flesh and crawling everywhere …
Above human knowledge, there was a greater profound meaning …
Above humans, there was an even greater existence …
Don't you want to know the truth?
"I want to know, but not from you." Gu Jun came to the ruins of the altar and muttered to himself while tying the five ancient parchments to a kilogram of C-4 explosives. He shook his head and said, "No, you are not the truth. Demons always spread fear in the name of truth. This is your truth. "
These cursed papers could not be left behind, nor could they be taken out.
Of course, it was good that they could be used to study spells, but the situation was too uncertain. He was worried that the others might fall under the demon's spell, and Phecda might be infiltrated. The others did not have the help of the bright side of Lenton.
"If these sentences are useful, I've memorized them already," Gu Jun said as he walked toward the banyan forest with the C-4 explosives.
All the pain … confusion … persistence … is because you haven't seen enough … '
'That's why they say stupid people have stupid luck.' Gu Jun strode forward. He gripped the scalpel in his pocket and focused his mind.
There was still a strange power lingering in the ruins. The rituals from countless eras still had their traces.
It was time to put an end to it.
Gu Jun stuck the C-4 explosives to a banyan tree at the edge of the forest and returned to pick up the QN-202 mini missile. He took out a white missile from his backpack and loaded it into the black missile launcher. When he was still at the spiral staircase, he had already asked Xue Ba how to use it.
"Son of Misfortune," Gu Jun mumbled. Determination shone in his eyes. "You can now be completely annihilated."
He picked up the launcher and aimed at the C-4 explosives in the distance. The missiles were guided by infrared. Once they locked onto the target before launch, they would be able to self-destruct even if the target moved. Each missile weighed only 1.2 kilograms, but it could easily destroy a tank, an armored vehicle, or a base.
With a click, Gu Jun's right index finger pulled on the trigger. With a loud bang, sparks rose, and the mini missile flew out from the launcher.
He was almost knocked to the ground by the violent recoil. He watched as the missile flew less than 100 meters away and landed right on the C-4 explosives. Regardless of whether the C-4 explosives had exploded a second time or not, the missile exploded in a crimson red flame. Boom!
The loud explosion caused Gu Jun's ears to buzz, but he could clearly see that the five parchments had been blown to pieces.
Raging flames burned on the broken banyan tree and spread through the interconnected branches and leaves. The banyan forest quickly turned into a sea of fire!
At the same time, Gu Jun picked up another missile and loaded it into the launcher. He aimed it at the banyan forest in another direction.
There was a truth in this world that doctors needed to eliminate diseases and relieve the pain of patients.
"Those who have died to the Banyan Malformation Disease, rest in peace." Gu Jun pulled the trigger again and fired the second missile, then the third, the fourth …
He fired all six missiles at different directions around the altar. The violent flames turned the whole strange forest into a purgatory. The crackling of the twisted branches seemed to be the wailing of countless lives.
But the wailing weakened with a sense of release, and the whispers were swallowed by the fire …
Burning, annihilation, dissipation.
The greatest chaos must be ended with the greatest destruction.
Gu Jun looked at the bright flames, and the light in his heart grew stronger again. The dark will was suppressed. His spirit was lifted, and both his body and mind felt the sweet taste of being reborn.
'Whether you are the Son of Misfortune or the Son of Steel, I don't care. My name is Gu Jun.
I will end this chaos. '
The fire grew bigger and bigger. The hot wind blew the sparks and burned the rotten corpses on the ground.
Only then did Gu Jun walk toward the big banyan tree. He did not blow up the area earlier, but the fire would spread.
This time, he did not have the mental disturbance from before, and he arrived at the banyan tree hole.
He stuck the last 1 kilogram of C4 on the giant tree and set a 30-second delay. He took only a scalpel, a remote detonator, and a few other items and walked into the tree hole. He walked into the light and shadows that were surging inside. When he saw the blurry scene at the end, he started to run and at the same time, pressed the detonator.
The light at the end was getting closer and closer. He seemed to see Xue Ba and the rest standing there. Gu Jun gritted his teeth and leaped forward.
There seemed to be a rumble behind him, and the whole tunnel dissolved in the shaking.
