The night sky was pitch-black, and there was no sign of stars.
Eastern University Medical College was next to Mount Qingyun. Usually, whether it was day or night, one could hear the chirping of birds everywhere. At night, there would be the cries of mountain doves, collared owls, and nightingales. But today, there was no rain, only silence. Even if one paid close attention, they could not hear the chirping of birds.
Gu Jun stood at the edge of the dormitory balcony, looking at the gloomy night sky. His heart was heavy.
He had watched the video several times and thought about it.
The bloody words and the illusions were obviously from the abnormal force at the bottom of Longkan, and it was this force that the Seagull had been investigating and researching.
"Dad, Mom …" Two blurry faces appeared in Gu Jun's mind. He realized that he did not know them at all.
Who were they? How did they get involved in the Longkan incident? What had become of the Seagull? Were they dead?
"I want to reinvestigate this matter." Gu Jun narrowed his eyes, feeling the weight of Li Yuerui's phone in his pocket. "This is my big mission."
Lai Sheng Scientific Research Ltd. The Seagull was the company's asset, and his parents were employees of Lai Sheng.
Many years ago, Gu Jun had already investigated it. He even spent money to hire a private investigator to help him investigate, but there were no problems with the results. It was just as Lai Sheng's public information had said. But now, he did not believe a single word of it!
"This unlicensed company definitely did not go bankrupt," he thought. "They probably just changed their name, and the organization behind them is still around …"
However, the office building where Lai Sheng's headquarters was located had been demolished and rebuilt five years ago. Now, it was an amusement park. There was no information about Lai Sheng on the internet, and the people who had contacted him about the compensation had all disappeared. He did not know where to start his investigation.
Gu Jun felt that what he was facing was like the Qingyun Mountains in the distance, shrouded in darkness.
Hazy, dark, majestic, enormous, and difficult to resist … It hid countless secrets and existences.
Suddenly, the corner of Gu Jun's eyes flashed, and he once again saw that gloomy man … He suddenly looked at the corner of the road under the dormitory building. The light from the street lamp was broken, but he saw that it was cold and quiet there. There were no signs of pedestrians, only a stray cat slowly walked by and disappeared into the small forest.
However, Gu Jun was very sure that he did not see wrongly just now.
This person was following and even spying on him.
"Is it the person who tracked Lee Yuerui's phone or someone sent by Lai Sheng Company?"
Gu Jun pretended not to notice. He looked at the night view for a while, then turned around and walked back to his dorm.
He didn't close the balcony curtains. Instead, he climbed onto his bed and faced the wall, creating a blind spot. Then, he took out Li Yuerui's phone and looked through it again, looking for possible clues. He had already turned off the internet on the phone, not daring to log into any apps for fear of exposing its location.
At the moment, he couldn't care less about privacy. Gu Jun carefully looked through all the pictures and videos on the phone. He didn't find anything special. They were all travel-related, and there was nothing that violated his privacy or that he shouldn't have seen. He had to admit that he was very disappointed.
He continued to look at the phone's contact list. There were hundreds of contacts, but the phone didn't have a SIM card, so they couldn't call in.
Gu Jun looked through it again. Other than knowing that Lee Yuerui had a wide circle of friends, there were no other clues.
He scratched his head, calmed down, and carefully recalled what Lee Yuerui and the others had said that day. News, secret operations … Lee Yuerui had said, "Even if you don't believe me, I'll believe that guy. What I heard is that he's here." There was also Wu Dong's panicked cry, "The news is real, it's real!"
The "news" should be referring to the abnormal energy in the Longkan Sea, and the strange things that happened.
Who was "that guy"?
Gu Jun thought about it repeatedly.
"Lee Yuerui and the others aren't part of the circle. They just heard some news from the periphery and went to Longkan to explore. If they're being controlled by 'that guy', then it's possible for 'that guy' to send someone to monitor me because it involves me. "
"Mom and dad have studied Longkan for so many years, so they should be part of the circle. Lai Sheng Company is an organization within the circle. If this organization still exists, it's very likely that they know about the active situation in Longkan. Lai Sheng Company might have found out that I went to Longkan … It's also possible that they sent someone to spy on me for a while to see if I've discovered anything.
"No matter who sent them, I don't even know what's going on, so I can't act rashly. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable, and I might 'accidentally' die. I need a breakthrough … I need to get into that circle. Only by becoming part of the circle can I get close to the truth … "
Gu Jun turned around and lay flat on his back. He took a deep breath, but he had no idea how to get into that circle.
As he thought about it, the night deepened. The door of the dormitory was suddenly opened, and Cai Zixuan walked in with a thermos bottle.
Gu Jun collected his thoughts and turned to ask, "Zixuan, is there any soup left?" After thinking for a whole night, he was a little hungry.
"No, everyone drank it until there was not a drop left." Cai Zixuan answered. His old face was full of the light of an old godmother, and he said with a little pride, "Only food and love can't be let down. After everyone drank the soup, they worked very hard tonight! The class monitor said we can develop this into a regular soup and make it once a week. "
"Oh …" Gu Jun's throat moved. "How's the experiment going?"
"It's going well." Cai Zixuan walked to the sink on the balcony, put on a pair of old medical gloves, and washed the thermos bottle and chopsticks. At the same time, he said, "The mice's tumor formation is going well. These days, we've started to do photodynamic therapy. This is not difficult, but the next step is difficult. It's the fixation of the tumor tissue, dehydration, paraffin embedding, sectioning, HE staining, and immunohistochemical detection … "
Cai Zixuan said a bunch of things, and the more he said, the more excited he became. "Professor Gu said that these processes are very complicated, and each step may affect the final result. It will be more difficult for us undergraduates to do it. Therefore, he wants to invite Old Chen from the pathology department to come over and guide us on the specific operation essentials and how to read pathology films. It's Professor Chen Zhiming! It's so rare to have two big names guiding us together. If word gets out, we'll be hated to death by the people from the five-year program. "
"I'll go with you to the laboratory tomorrow." Gu Jun said, "Is it okay to observe and learn?"
He did not understand what the line of bloody words meant. If he could see the laboratory illusion again, he might be able to figure it out. So far, he had only seen the illusion in the laboratory that Wang Ruoxiang and the others used in the laboratory building. He did not know if there was anything special about it.
"It's okay," Cai Zixuan looked over while washing the dishes. "But aren't you tight on time for tutoring?"
"I'm not tight. I'm not that far behind anyway." Gu Jun was not lying. He had only left the campus for half a semester, and there were a lot of general education courses in the eight-year program. Therefore, he was not too bad in the medical field. He had almost made up for it after studying hard for a while.
"That's not a problem." Cai Zixuan was no longer long-winded. It was very clear that with his friend's talent, it would not be difficult for him to catch up.
Gu Jun nodded. The line of bloody words on the wall appeared in his mind again. That broken laboratory …
He always felt that there were some details in the illusion that he did not pay attention to, but it was a very important detail …
