'Is that old Taoist Old Dog Uncle? '
Gu Jun did not think so. He turned his attention back to the documents on the table.
"The old Taoist said that they were a religious order, and he was the leader of this religious order."
Tong Ye's statement read, "Liu Daze was also a member of this religious order. The old Taoist said that human beings and their civilization were even weaker than babies in swaddling clothes and were not worth mentioning. Countless generations ago, there were already great beings that ruled over all the worlds. They once built cities that were many times grander than the most magnificent human city. Even though most of them have been destroyed by time, some of their ruins can still be found, like the giant stone statues on the Pacific Ocean islands. "
Gu Jun's heart pounded. His mother was a member of this cult, so his father should be one as well. Searching for ruins? Was that the purpose of their voyage to the sea?
"But these great beings were already in hibernation many generations before the birth of human civilization. Their religious order was the humble believers of one of these great beings. They had their own mission and pursuit. "
The report stated that when Tong Ye said this, his expression was very strange. "They called these great beings the 'Great Old Ones'."
'Great Old Ones? ' Gu Jun's expression shifted. His heart clenched with pain. Something appeared before his eyes …
When Landon, the Son of Steel, committed suicide by hanging his neck on the cliff by the sea, nine shadows appeared behind him. One of them spoke to him in a dark voice.
One of them said in a dark voice, "Our Great Old Ones have prepared a demon seat for you. Above human knowledge, there is an even greater profound meaning. "
'Great Old Ones … '
Gu Jun's head started to throb. He did not tell Phecda about this term because he was still hiding the truth about the Son of Steel and the Son of Misfortune.
Furthermore, Tong Ye's report was recorded many years before he was born.
The foreign world had the shadow of the Great Old Ones, so did Earth. So what was it?
Gu Jun continued to read, and his reading speed became faster and faster.
The old Taoist invited Tong Ye to join the cult, but Tong Ye refused and tried to subdue them with a gun.
However, at that moment, Tong Ye realized that his gun was nowhere to be found. There was not even a trace of his hand holding the gun. It was as if the gun had not been in his hand since a long time ago.
The old Daoist didn't do anything. It was the dozen or so men in black who approached step by step. Tong Ye tried to fight them, but he was easily subdued by their mental attacks. After that, he was beaten black and blue and was stabbed in the abdomen by the woman.
"They told me that it was to make you understand how weak you are …" Tong Ye wrote.
Then, they tied up Tong Ye's limbs, blindfolded him, and took him somewhere unknown. Then, what happened in the illusion that he and Wu Shiyu saw happened.
After that, Tong Ye thought he was dead, but when he woke up, he found himself in the hospital. It turned out that he was dumped on the streets of Guang Ting City. It had been a week since he entered the mountain.
Actually, during that week, Phecda had sent out a large number of people to conduct a carpet search of Xiong Linshan. They did not find Tong Ye, the Taoist, or the cult that he mentioned. There was not a single suspicious location. After that, they searched many times, but they found nothing.
"I saw …" Tong Ye described the scene when he was attacked by the group of children. In the file, his face was pale and his eyes were complicated.
"There were many strange shapes, but I couldn't name any of them, and I couldn't draw them either. It was a dimension that humans couldn't understand …"
Gu Jun's head was throbbing with pain. The hallucinations intensified. He felt like he was seeing what Tong Ye had seen, but it was a blur.
At that moment, Wu Shiyu returned with a brown envelope. "Tong Ye said to let you look at this. If you go crazy, then forget it."
As she was speaking, she saw his twisted expression and felt a sense of madness. She hesitated for a moment. "Hey, you don't want to look at it now, do you?"
"Give it to me, give it to me …" Gu Jun stood up and almost reached out to grab it. Now was the time. In his current condition, he would definitely trigger something!
Wu Shiyu still handed him the envelope. He opened it and took out a picture inside. It was the picture of the stone statue.
The statue was not big, only about twenty centimeters tall. It did not look like an ancient tomb guardian beast, and it did not match the aesthetic of the pre-Qin civilization or even the entire human civilization. It was an ancient, large, and indescribable monster crouching on a rectangular stone pedestal.
Its shape was strange and exquisite. It had a humanoid shape, but its face was covered in tentacles that looked like deep sea creatures. The tentacles were messy, and its body was swollen. It looked like it was filled with a giant's dirty water.
"Ah!" Something seemed to explode in Gu Jun's mind. Countless visions surged before his eyes. He could not tell if it was an illusion or a dream.
In the thick fog, he seemed to see the faces of the members of the Phoenix Unit. There was shock, confusion, panic …
He seemed to have seen a huge and majestic palace at the bottom of the sea, faintly discernible …
But in the blink of an eye, he saw people in ancient clothes kneeling there with their limbs bent. They surrounded the stone statue, and they were begging and crying …
There were too many visions, and they were too violent. He could not grasp any of them.
He saw the corpses of the giant again, and it was not just one, but a whole bunch of giant statues arranged in a strange pattern like they were summoning something.
He saw thin shadows moving, and the skin of the wrinkled palms was covered in fungus. They looked like ghouls …
Suddenly, the epiphany dawned on Gu Jun. The giant statue could summon and attract zombies!
He did not know what the relationship between the ghouls and the Great Old Ones was, nor did he know what their relationship was with the Church, but he had a certain feeling.
"The giant statues are used to attract ghouls, but they are not normal carcasses. They have to be empty bodies. This is the key to summoning the ghouls …"
Was there a need for a spell or a ritual? The ritual that Old Dog Uncle's family used to have?
Gu Jun pressed his hands against his head, and the vision stopped abruptly. He saw Wu Shiyu holding a police baton and was about to swing it down on his head.
"Wait a minute!" He gasped for air. "I'm fine, I'm fine! But if you hit me with the baton, I'm not sure I'll be fine … "
"Oh, but I've already raised the baton. Why don't you hit me?" Wu Shiyu sighed helplessly. "It'll be such a waste of energy."
"No, we still have things to do." Gu Jun pushed himself up, and his face darkened. It was time to do something.
"The Nightmare Illness should be the cult's doing. I believe their goal is to awaken some kind of ancient presence. I still have no idea what role the ghouls play in this, but we need to lure the ghouls out and capture them … then we'll get something. "
"Ghouls?" Wu Shiyu frowned deeply and spat. "Ah, the smell is so weird …"
