By then, the sun had set, and night had fallen.
Gu Jun continued to focus on the last page of the watcher's diary. The next 150 pages were all blank.
"Mr. Child said that it is a different world.
When a normal person dreams every night, their mind will wander between that world and the waking world. They might occasionally catch a glimpse of a gap, but they will soon forget about it when they wake up, and they will never be able to enter it. As they grow older, they will have more contact with the mundane world, and their ability to see through the gap will be lost.
"It is always easiest for a person to enter that world when they are still a child. Occasionally, they will enter it accidentally. This is because children still have a simple and clear mental state.
You might have heard people say that they have walked into the world inside the mirror or the world inside the wardrobe when they were young, but they are all the same place.
"But zombies are different … Their bodies have changed, and so has their mental state.
Regardless of whether they are children or not, the zombies have gained the power to enter and exit that world freely.
"The people that you call patients jumped into the graves. That is one of the methods," Mr. Child said. "Their mental state has reached that world."
At this point, a thought flashed through Gu Jun's mind. He flipped back to the first page of the diary.
"Some of them appeared to have lost their minds. They did not need to be pushed, but they jumped into the dead bodies at the bottom of the pit while screaming in some strange language."
According to the diary, the graves were dug very deep. They could fit several thousand people, and the depth should be more than ten meters …
Jumping from the ground, wouldn't that be like the patients of Nightmare Illness climbing to the top of a building and then jumping?
"That is not a simple suicide." Gu Jun instantly understood. Even though the Nightmare Illness in this world did not transform the victim into a zombie, the final outcome was that the victim's mind, or rather, their soul, would be sucked into the 'other world'. That was why their carcasses would be nothing more than empty shells.
And then there was Chen Defa … At the time, Gu Jun could feel the man's mental state escaping. Could it be that Chen Defa had returned to that world as well?
The zombies had the power to enter and exit that world freely, and that was not a good thing …
And the children? Gu Jun was reminded of the ESP children who had been controlled by the R'yleh Cult. There were only about thirty children in that classroom, but more than three hundred children had gone missing at Guang Ting City. Where had the rest gone?
"We are not zombies, we are not infected with Nightmare Illness, and we are not children anymore, so how are we supposed to get in?"
Gu Jun's mind flashed with nervousness and doubt. Coincidentally, this watchman also had the same doubt and asked Mr. Child.
An illusion flashed before his eyes. He seemed to see a conversation going on in a dark and damp old house.
["Dreaming is not the only way to enter that world," Mr. Child said. "I have entered it countless times. When there is a bridge leading to a place, and you can sense its existence, you can use a specific spell to make the door appear and open it. "
"But this kind of channel is not stable, and it will not last forever. Perhaps someone has entered it by accident, or perhaps you have been searching for the rest of your life and still haven't made any progress."
"If you can enter the dream, then enter the dream. That way, even if an accident happens in that world, you will most likely wake up. It was just a nightmare."
Mr. Child handed me a spell. "If you cannot enter the dream, then use this spell. But if you die in there, your body and mind will die. The world is beautiful, but it is not a safe world. This spell will only work once. It is a one-way ticket, and the door is not open to everyone. You don't need to bring anything with you to enter. It is useless. "
It was not that I was not curious, but fear and confusion made me ask, "Mr. Child, why are you telling me all this?"
Mr. Child smiled, and with the demeanor of a young gentleman, he said, "You have guarded me for half a month, so this is your reward."
The illusion was abruptly broken. Gu Jun took a deep breath. His heart still felt constricted, but it was not that uncomfortable. After a few deep breaths, it calmed down.
This had something to do with the fact that it was not an illusion and his new power.
'Spell? ' He looked at the setting sun. The watcher in the diary had already turned into a zombie, and he used the method of entering the dream.
At the time, the spell did not appear to have been used …
Gu Jun flipped through the diary page by page, but he still could not find it. Then he noticed that the diary was wrapped in a leather cover.
"Could it be …" With a thought, he tried to take off the cover of the book. Sure enough, he saw a piece of yellowed parchment on the cover of the diary inside the book cover.
There were some strange black words written on the parchment. It was not the foreign language but the language on Old Dog Uncle's tombstone, the language of the zombies.
"This spell is stored in my consciousness. Can I still use it? Can I open the 'door' that leads to the deserted island? "
Gu Jun was both excited and confused by this unexpected discovery. There were still many questions that he needed to sort out, but at least this was a breakthrough!
He put his thoughts aside and pulled the other mission reward closer to his eyes. It was a letter.
The handwriting on the envelope was blurred out, but it was barely visible. There was no mailing address. The sender was an 'old friend', and the addressee was Cycles Chandler.
He opened the envelope and took out the only piece of paper inside. There was only one short sentence on the paper.
"There has been a breakthrough in the new body experiment. This plague will create an opportunity for us."
Gu Jun's head shot up. Mr. Child obviously belonged to a secret organization. New body experiment? He was reminded of the Necro-skins.
The mind of these zombies could wander. If they could switch bodies, the mind of the zombies could crawl into the body of the Necro-skins …
The 'plague' should refer to the Nightmare Illness plague of the zombies, and then the Necro-skins and hemoptysis ravaged the foreign world.
The Necro-skins in this world were just a weakened version. Was the organization behind them also conducting experiments? A successful outbreak of the Nightmare Illness plague is a necessary stage to complete?
The more Gu Jun thought about it, the colder his heart chilled. There were undercurrents that he could not see, and he had no idea how far they had progressed.
He read this sentence in the letter again and again, trying to trigger the relevant illusion, but he could not get anything out of it. This was not a suitable place or situation …
Gu Jun first turned his attention to the broken spell book. He now knew that the foreign world was a world of spells, and even Doctor Carlop knew spells.
The spell book was still made of parchment. The edges were slightly chipped, but there was a lot of information written on the paper. There were even notes written in small handwriting.
"This handwriting!" He suddenly realized with excitement that these notes were the handwriting of the Son of Steel, Lenton!
This broken spell book appeared to have come from one of the spell books that Lenton had studied.
He immediately turned to look at the note that was marked at the top.
[Incantations and incantations aren't effective on their own. You can just write an incantation on the wall of the toilet. Every word will be huge and give everyone who goes to the toilet a fright. But if there is no power when the spell is written or triggered, it will just be words, and they will be ugly and boring words. "
