There was too much information on Tong Ye's case, and it involved images and symbols that could not be expressed in words. Therefore, Tong Ye did not tell Gu Jun about it during the meeting but said that he would make the necessary arrangements.
The next morning, the people from Eastern State's Medical Department arrived.
A new batch of patients had arrived in the middle of the night. There were seven new members in the Medical Department, and the atmosphere was heavy.
However, when Gu Jun received the people at the entrance of the Psychology Building, his mood changed slightly. It was Wu Shiyu and a group of people carrying a few suitcases.
"Wu Shiyu, why are you here?" he asked. "This is really not a good place for a vacation."
"I'm here to keep an eye on you." Wu Shiyu looked around. His beautiful face did not change. There was still a hint of intelligence hidden in his laziness. "The original files of the case are all here. Tong Ye said that I am not allowed to look at them, and you are not allowed to discuss them with me. My mission is to wake you up if you show any signs of madness. "
Gu Jun understood. He nodded and led the group into the Psychology Building.
They reached the research center on the 12th floor and entered a small office. Several suitcases of files were placed on the table.
The others stood guard at the door. Wu Shiyu sat comfortably on the sofa and stared at Gu Jun behind the table. He also used his ESP to observe the changes in the latter's mind.
At that moment, Gu Jun opened the suitcase labeled No. 1. A large stack of old newspapers entered his eyes, and a sour smell of old paper assaulted his nostrils.
He picked up the newspaper on the top, Guang Ting Daily. The black headline on it was very eye-catching.
"Tenth Child Disappearance Case in a Month. Guang Ting City's People Are Lost."
This case had happened in Guang Ting City.
Gu Jun studied the old news. At the time, there were many child disappearances in Guang Ting City, and there were also cases of babies going missing in hospitals. The pictures that accompanied the news were of several crying parents. The media suspected that there was a human trafficking group behind this, and the police said that they were investigating.
He frowned and naturally thought of the children in the classroom. Were they the ones who were abducted?
He began to doubt himself again. Am I the biological son of Mom and Dad? But according to those hazy prenatal memories, he should be the biological son …
A few days after this stack of newspapers was published, the matter was suppressed by the public relations department, saying that these were just rumors. The cause was that a child had gone missing in a hospital and had been found. Not to mention the era without the Internet, even now, public relations could quickly calm a hot topic.
So, the matter passed at that time, and Guang Ting City just had another urban legend.
However, Phecda's file showed that it was not a rumor. It was all true.
During that period of time, in less than three months, a total of 156 infants and 183 toddlers went missing in the city.
Gu Jun clenched the file tightly in his hand, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.
How many families were broken, and how many parents had been searching for years …
These missing cases were the cause of this old case. Due to the severity of the case, Phecda sent out a Special Mobile Force to assist the police in the investigation.
It was the Phoenix Unit led by Tong Ye and Huang Guotong. It was an integrated unit with 105 permanent members. At the time, Tong Ye was only 27 years old. He came from the Investigation Department. Even though he was a bit frivolous, he was talented and had a bright future ahead of him.
However, after the intervention of the Phoenix Unit, they did not solve the case immediately.
On one hand, this was not a normal beggar gang crime. On the other hand, the families who lost their children had nothing in common. They were not related by blood, and their education levels varied. The kidnapping group seemed to have committed the crime at random.
The breakthrough came from an unexpected person, an old archaeology professor at Guang Ting University, Liu Daze. He was quite famous in the field.
One of his students reported to the police that he had been to Professor Liu's home several times. Each time, he could hear the faint sound of a baby crying. However, Professor Liu was an old man who lived alone.
Since Professor Liu had been "weird" lately, the student felt uneasy and linked it to the recent missing babies case.
After Tong Ye and his team went to investigate, they understood what the "weird" meant.
The archaeologist calmly told Tong Ye and his team a theory. Long before humans existed, there were some great beings. In the history of human civilization, their influence was everywhere. However, some of them were so ancient that humans themselves had forgotten about them.
"The place where those children went is not a place mortals can reach," Professor Kaogu told them. "But I know where they are buried."
This sentence was very strange, and the professor had a strange expression on his face. No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like the words of a crazy person.
However, when there was a lack of clues, any clue had to be tried. Phecda followed the location that the old professor had mentioned — a mountainous area in the outskirts of Guang Ting City.
Once they started digging, they found an ancient tomb. It was determined to be from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It was not the tomb of a king or a general, but …
"Hmm …" Gu Jun frowned as he looked at some old grave digging photos in the file. The agitation in his heart was so strong that it was about to jump out. Some illusions flashed before his eyes.
"Huh?" Wu Shiyu sensed something and immediately shouted, "Take it easy, take it easy."
He remained silent and did not respond. These were some unearthed photos of the deceased. They were already a pile of bones. The information indicated that it was a "crooked burial".
Crooked burial was a burial method from the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It was the opposite of a straight burial. The lower body of the person was curled up and then tied up with a rope before being buried. Crooked burial was a strange phenomenon in the history of tombs. Its origin, popular time, region, and meaning had not been determined yet.
In front of Gu Jun's eyes, it was as if he could see the broken limbs of these once living people, twisted into strange and inexplicable shapes …
What was dug out along with the bodies of the dead was not the owner of the tomb, but a strange stone statue.
"Where are the photos?" Gu Jun muttered as he flipped through the information. He could not find the photos of the stone statue. Even the written description was missing. The only word that could be found was "strange".
Other than the thousands of skeletons of the buried people and the stone statue, there was nothing else in the ancient tomb. When they were buried alive, they were kneeling around the statue.
This was obviously a kind of sacrificial ceremony.
How did that crazy archaeologist know that there was an ancient tomb here? There was not even a burglar's hole, so it was impossible for him to know for no reason.
This question was still unanswered, because before Phecda could interrogate him, Liu Daze died of a heart attack in prison. In the end, he only left behind a strange sentence when he was being resuscitated. At that time, no one knew what he said, nor could they record it. It was difficult to even remember it. They only thought it was the nonsense of a crazy person.
But now, the latest situation was that Tong Ye, who was also present at the time, believed that the archaeologist was deliriously chanting the same sentence:
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
