The stench of decomposition filled the air. The adult male's neck was severed from the middle. Gu Jun bent down to look at it. He could clearly see the broken muscles, cartilage and trachea. It was strangely neat. The decapitation must have been done with a very sharp instrument.
But what was even stranger was that there was no blood splattered on the neck, clothes, or the soil around the corpse.
If the victim was decapitated while he was still alive, the carotid artery would have spurted blood and the body would not be so clean. Could it be that the decapitation was done after death?
"Is this the work of the devil …" Kathlyn mumbled with a trembling voice. The rest did not have the heart to look at it or they would puke.
This scene made Peacock's group uncomfortable as well. The bodies of the children were decapitated in the same manner. It reminded them of the Ossarians. For some reason, Kathlyn had a feeling that the two children from the missing family were kneeling there. Based on the time, they should have been dead for more than 10 years.
"Based on my experience, this kind of thing is usually done by humans." Gu Jun said, "People who think they are achieving some kind of great goal."
Even though he was not a forensic doctor, he had dealt with many dead bodies. The feeling that these bodies gave him was …
Strange and twisted, as if they should have decomposed to become skeletons instead of dried corpses.
Gu Jun looked at the neck and suddenly the illusion flashed across his mind. He saw the nerves and blood vessels on the neck twist into a spiral triangle … He walked to the next body and had the same illusion. He turned to the next body and it was still the same, a spiral triangle.
"Spiral, spiral …" He mumbled as the thought came to him.
He followed the trail of the headless corpses. Every now and then, there would be a body kneeling on the sand … Slowly, he could confirm it. "This is not a circle, but a spiral, a spiral triangle with the transmission tower as the center …" Gu Jun's eyes lit up.
Spiral meant that there were more coils.
The path that he had walked was either the innermost circle of the spiral and there were more circles further away or the outermost circle of the spiral.
The circles inside the spiral were not completed yet.
This ceremony needed more corpses, more sacrifices …
"Mr. Nightmare Man!" At that moment, Peacock who was following behind suddenly gasped, "Something has been blown here by the wind."
Gu Jun turned his head to look. A strong gust of wind was blowing from the direction of Warton Town, stirring up large amounts of sand and dust. In the midst of this, there were traces of a few yellow papers flying towards them. When the yellow paper fell at their feet, the wind had died down.
He picked up a piece of yellow paper by his feet and looked at it. He immediately frowned.
The paper was no bigger than half a sheet of A4 paper. It was khaki and had a crooked spiral triangle drawn with red and black paint.
He felt that it was the pattern these corpses were forming …
"What's this?" asked Tom blankly, looking also at a piece of yellow paper which he had picked up.
The six yellow talismans all had the same picture drawn on them, which seemed to correspond to the six bodies here.
"We have never seen this kind of mark before." Peacock said. Kathlyn then added bitterly, "I have a very bad feeling about this … It's very, very bad."
Gu Jun saw that everyone had a yellow talisman. His eyes landed on the Ancient Seal stone and his heart squeezed as he was reminded of something.
"When the secret talisman appears, death arrives, phantom appears, madness appears.
When the Phecda is in chaos, disaster is born, rebellion is born, collapse is born. "
He lowered his head to look at the yellow paper in his hands. Secret talisman … yellow secret talisman …
The legend of the land's wanderer mainly explained the second sentence. As for the meaning of the first sentence, even the professors could not explain it. They only said that "secret talisman" and "phantom" should describe the characteristics of the secret planning of the rebel forces in the early stage … Was that really what it meant?
"When the secret talisman appears, death arrives."
Somehow, he felt like this was a prelude to the chaos of Phecda.
And this yellow talisman … was it a death notice?
Gu Jun turned to look at the transmission tower by the roadside and in that moment, the illusion returned.
What he saw was not an iron-gray transmission tower, but a tower made of human skulls. Regardless of whether they were adults or children, the faces of all the skulls were filled with madness at the moment of death. There was no pain or fear, only the most complete madness of a storm.
The head at the top was still dripping with fresh blood.
…
After Wu Shiyu got off the plane at the airport, she took the car that was sent to pick her up. She headed back to the Spell Department base, not many members of the Recreation Department were given such a privilege. It was noon when she walked into the twenty-story high administrative building of the base.
In the spacious lobby, she saw Cai Zixuan who came to fetch her to the meeting room.
"Shi Yu, Ah Jun is still alive!" When Cai Zixuan saw her, he rushed over excitedly. "I recognize his voice, it has to be him!" Over the past half a year, Zixuan's hair had deteriorated. Recently, he heeded Tong Ye's advice and had a crew cut.
"Erm …" Wu Shiyu obeyed the instructions of the small theatre and did not comment.
Inside the elevator, Cai Zixuan sighed with emotion. It was as if he would be reunited with his old friend that night.
No matter how hard Wu Siyu tried, she could not find anything suspicious. She could sense fireworks in Zixuan's voice, so she was really happy.
When she walked into the meeting room, she saw there were about 30 people there. Most of them should have received the signal. Wang Ruoxiang, Xue Ba and Lou Xiaoning were among them. Their expressions were filled with excitement. Tong Ye, Doctor Shen, Prof Jiang and the other core members of Angell's Order were there.
Her eyes focused on the newcomers, those who did not know Dirty-minded Jun before …
"Shi Yu, I have a feeling that is him." Wang Ruoxiang said with a smile, "Our previous medical diagnosis was wrong, Dreamlands is different from our world."
"Everyone, please calm down!" It was Tong Ye who said that. After all, the old man was now the leader of a department, he knew when to be calm. "We still cannot confirm whether it is Ah Jun or not. We still have to find out many things, where did the voice come from, how did it happen and what is the meaning of this picture that was given to us. "
"What picture?" Wu Shiyu asked. Tong Ye did not give them the details on the phone that morning.
"Those who received the signal did not have a specific dream. Other than the voice, they could only remember a picture." Tong Ye pointed. "It's the one on the screen."
Everyone turned to look. Wu Shiyu also turned to the screen. There was a picture on it, it was reconstructed by the people who received the signal.
The picture had a brown background and there was a crooked spiral triangle in the middle.
