After Gu Jun said the words, the weight on his heart instantly lightened. Looking out the window at the dawn, he felt much better.
However, Tong Ye was very quiet, so quiet that it was strange … This made Gu Jun miss the drunkard.
After a long time, Tong Ye finally said hoarsely, "That woman … she is an extremely dangerous person … You saw how many wounds I had at the time, right? She was the one who beat me up and stabbed me …"
In his memory, his mother was a gentle woman. She would cook for him and bring him to play games. She was a kind woman who would cook for him and play games with him.
The fanatical look in his mother's eyes when he wrote the corresponding foreign words on the drawings flashed before his eyes.
He interrupted his chilling thoughts. "Tong Ye, you know that I don't know my parents that well. In fact, I don't even know my own childhood well enough."
"Kid, I don't blame you." Tong Ye seemed to have recovered his vigor. "I've already gone through your files. To put it bluntly, you are also her victim."
"I think so too." Gu Jun was slightly bitter. He was no longer sure if his parents had the same parental love for him.
Tong Ye's voice came from the phone again. "This is an important piece of information. However, Phecda has looked into all the information on your parents. The investigation on the Nightmare Illness has been headed in this direction, but there was no result. This can only mean that before your mother became a member of Lai Sheng, she was a member of some kind of cult. Those people called themselves a cult … I don't know more than that. I did not agree to join them. "
At the end, Tong Ye scoffed. "Join them? I hate it when people beat me up … "
"Sigh." Gu Jun found it hard to remember his mother, and he found it hard to face Tong Ye. In the end, he said resolutely, "Regarding my mother, I apologize on her behalf."
"Fine, fine." Tong Ye let out a sigh. "I've already said that it's none of your business. Don't take responsibility for everything. It's very tiring to be a human."
"This is different," Gu Jun said, "Tong Ye, can you send me the file of this mission? Now that I have the green light, I want to know the specific situation. "
"You have the authority, but you don't have spiritual power." Tong Ye's tone made it clear that there was no room for negotiation. "Have you slept in bed since yesterday's assessment? Triggering illusions would consume one's spirit, and the only way to replenish it was to sleep. You'd better not do anything right now, just sleep. "
Speaking up to this point, Tong Ye suddenly shouted, "Hey, everyone who is monitoring the phone, did you hear that? Don't make things difficult for this kid. It's impossible for someone like him to not have any secrets. Just know which side his heart is on. "
Gu Jun felt warmth in his heart. Although he still did not understand Tong Ye, this old fellow had indeed protected him time and time again.
"That's it for now. You take the time to rest," Tong Ye said as he was about to hang up.
"Wait!" Gu Jun stopped him. "Tong Ye, I have another piece of information to say."
"Kid, can't you finish your words at once? How many more things are you hiding! "Tong Ye was suddenly annoyed.
Gu Jun had already planned to say that since he was going to say it, he would also say the note in the illusion. Maybe it would be useful.
"It's a fragment of my childhood memory that I suddenly recovered." He explained the situation of the illusion. "The line of text was written in English, but I think it was just spelled out with the English alphabet. The original words were not in this language."
Then, he spelled out the sentence letter by letter. The more he thought about it these days, the more he felt it was strange.
“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”
Tong Ye listened to it and was silent for a while. He did not even try to read half a syllable. In the end, he only said, "I don't know what this is. It sounds like a spell or some kind of sacrificial or ritual language. Let's study it again. Don't read it on your own. This sentence should have an unknown power. "
Gu Jun agreed. After ending the call, perhaps because he had a lot of things to worry about, a deep sense of fatigue suddenly overwhelmed him.
He really needed a good sleep. There were still four hours before the surgery.
Surgery … Gu Jun thought of something. He opened the system panel in his mind — Mission List and looked at one of the items.
[Difficult Mission: Accumulate 100% personal contribution for two-star surgery (success) in one day. Mission Reward: One pair of Carlop dissecting scissors.]
I wonder if lobotomy is considered a two-star surgery?
But he was only going to the surgery room to see if he could sense anything. He did not have any job, so he probably would not get any contribution points.
Gu Jun was thinking about something else. Carlop dissecting scissors? Were there no rewards like "Ol 'Uncle Dog's Diary"?
'Other than the abyssal mission that I already have, none of the missions and rewards in the past two days match up.'
He had already figured out that the system would give him missions based on his daily life. That was why the system had provided him with missions before, but recently, it had lost its touch …
'Why?' Gu Jun thought. 'Missing a crucial connection? Like the connection between me and the foreign world? '
As he thought about it, a thought that had been bothering him for a long time surfaced, and it made his heart skip a beat.
'I still don't know the exact details of that nightmare.'
But that nightmare was the source of the Nightmare Illness.
…
Lobotomy.
This neurosurgery was invented by Antonio Edgars Moniz. It relied on the removal of the nerve fibers that connected the prefrontal cortex to other brain regions to treat mental illness. This kind of surgery even won Moniz the Nobel Prize at first, but later it went crazy and became notorious.
During the craziest period of the 20th century, a survey showed that one-third of the patients had an effect after the surgery, one-third had no change, and one-third had worsened.
Humanity's understanding of the human brain was still shallow, so the effect of a surgery that directly destroyed a certain part of the brain was impossible to predict.
Furthermore, many patients would experience a drastic change in personality after the surgery, and there would be many sequelae like severe headaches, strange behaviors, loss of memory, loss of consciousness, and even dementia. This was like using another mental illness to cover up one mental illness.
Therefore, when the scientific community and people calmed down, they realized the horror behind it, and this surgery was gradually banned by the world.
For the Medical Department that was dealing with the Nightmare Illness, this was just a trial to see if it would be effective.
It was like a drowning man reaching out his hand to grab at anything he could grab.
As long as the nightmare could be stopped after the surgery, even if the patient's personality changed and there were sequelae, it would still be considered a success.
There were three patients who were going to undergo the surgery that day. They were in the early stage, middle stage, and advanced stage. Other than the advanced stage patient, the rest had signed the informed consent forms.
The early and middle stage patients were Chen Wenwei and Mai Lei.
