'Child, isn't this the dawn of a new era? Isn't this a turning point in history?
If not for this plague, you will still be like rats in the underground. You claim to fight against the darkness but in reality, you are living in the darkness. '
When Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu walked out from the press conference, they heard a whisper. It was mixed with a strange and shrill voice, 'The whole world knows about you. They are looking at you, talking about you, your appearance, your ability, your identity.
They will respect and love you at first but soon, they will hate you because you are unable to stop the disasters, because you are a plague doctor … '
After saluting, they took their seats. Gu Jun took a deep breath. Before him were more than 10 reporters and the cameras were pointing in his direction.
Indeed, the whole world could see this, this was indeed a turning point.
Even though they had been through so much, at this moment, everyone was still nervous. The calmest among them was Wu Shiyu.
However, the voice that Gu Jun heard grew louder, it was almost screaming at him. Where did this voice come from? Was it a psychological attack? Or was it a subconscious anxiety? He had no idea. He focused his mind to chase away the agitation that surged from his heart.
His mind was already made up, he would not be swayed by these noises but it felt like his whole body was being bitten …
"Dirty-minded Jun?" Wu Shiyu sensed it and leaned over to ask softly, "Are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine." Gu Jun had her sit down and signaled to everyone that he was fine.
He had the power of darkness inside him and he had consumed it before. Afterlife Cult was familiar with him so he was not surprised by the voice. Perhaps this was the 'black fog' that happened in this country. Perhaps this was the perfect opportunity to strike at the public's confidence.
Gu Jun calmed himself down and said to the agitation,
A new era has arrived, new eras will come one after another, but I'm sorry, it is not the new era that you are looking for. "
The voice was silent for a while before it said, "What kind of era is that? You are still at the door. Countries and countries, departments and individuals are already opposing each other and cracking … Wait a minute, these cracks have always existed, haven't they?
Suddenly, Gu Jun went into a daze. It was as if something flashed before his eyes, but it was also as if he saw it in his heart. It was some pictures, blurry, but he could understand that they were comments on the internet. Many people abroad did not trust Phecda, ridiculed him, and cursed him. Even in China, there were such voices, and many fierce scolding wars had broken out.
Was he trying to communicate telepathically with him? He paid attention to the voice and thus received it.
Gu Jun was a little surprised that it wasn't a close feeling. It was like the time when he and Wu Shiyu teleported across an entire continent …
They were so far away, yet they were able to find him so accurately and clearly. He definitely had a connection with that group of people.
The distorted voice spoke again, "Fools will not truly unite even in the face of death. Those ordinary disputes have already torn you apart."
"Next, please welcome Captain Gu to speak on behalf of Phecda." Then the host announced. It was time for the guest speaker. Gu Jun was going to speak on behalf of Phecda.
Gu Jun did have something to say that day but this script was given to him by his superior. What he needed to do was to read it out loud.
The evil voice mocked, "Look at you, foolishly speaking such foolish and false words. Compared to the extraordinary power and the great existence, how laughable is it?" If you are unwilling to transcend, no matter how much you struggle in the swamp, you will always be stuck in the swamp. You will live in the swamp and die in the swamp. "
"Good evening, everyone." Gu Jun looked at the script and then turned to the camera. The voice made him agitated and it caused his expression to turn serious.
He made a decision in his heart. After reading one sentence, he put down the script that he had just picked up. There was not much difference between reading from the script and speaking from his heart.
But the host and the press officer were shocked. What was going on?
"It is now 2: 25 am but frontline medical workers are still fighting in hospitals, labs, streets and other posts. I wish to express my deepest respect to all of you, every single one of you is a hero. "
The atmosphere in the press conference became even more solemn. The reporters listened quietly.
Even the viewers who watched the livestream were quiet.
People were either lying on their phones in their comfortable beds or in the safety of the streets but at that moment, some of them were carrying heavy burdens.
Gu Jun suddenly changed his script. Even though there was nothing wrong with what he said, it was getting out of hand. The people backstage panicked. 'Should we cut it or not?' But the old bureau chief, Tong Ye and the other leaders quickly held the people from Phecda back. They allowed him to speak first.
Xue Ba, Uncle Dan and Lou Xiaoning glanced at Gu Jun. He did not look like he had lost control. Wu Shiyu did not panic either.
Ignoring what the strange voice said, Gu Jun continued seriously, "Everyone might think that with just the few of us, we will be able to defeat the legionella pneumonia. But that is not the case. To defeat the legionella pneumonia and every disaster, we need the combined strength of every department. Without the people from the disease control centre, the people will not be able to receive proper care and order will not be maintained; without the researchers working day and night in the labs, the drug will not be developed; without the frontline medical workers fighting for their lives, the patients will not be saved; without the determination of the patients and their families, the disease will not be defeated. "
As he said this, his heart quivered because he was reminded of many people. He was not familiar with them but he would never forget their eyes.
"Over the past few days, I've read through the will of many martyrs."
That was part of his job. He wanted to see if he could reconnect with the thousand-eyed worm, to confirm whether these people were gone forever or not.
However, this also allowed him to meet so many ordinary yet extraordinary people, some of whom he already knew. He said in a low voice, "San Hai City's Jiang Xin Hospital's attending physician, Huang Lin, 28 years old. Her unfulfilled wish is to enter postgraduate school and marry her boyfriend. Her biggest concern is her parents and her pet dog, Dou Dou."
"San Hai City's People's Hospital's attending physician, Lee Huaihai, 32 years old. His last wish was to rest for a few months so that he could stay at the beach and read some books. Before his death, Doctor Lee had been working at the respiratory medicine department for 6 years and he had never missed a day of work.
"Phecda's Action Department member, Yang Fang, 25 years old. His will was written before the mission. He wished to return home to enjoy his mother's cooking. He suddenly missed the sweet and sour pork cooked by his mother. Due to work, he had not been home for 2 years. "
Gu Jun recited one will after another to the group, but he just could not get to the end.
There was still a mountain of things weighing on his heart and the will that he had read was only a small portion of the martyrs.
Many of them left this world before they could even leave behind a word.
"San Hai City's leading expert, He Feng, 43 years old. His last wish was for his parents, wife and daughter to live on. He wanted to see his daughter grow up healthy and happy. He wanted to see her go to primary school, middle school, high school and university. He wanted her to find the person she loved and get married.
"Also, Shen Haoxuan, 18 years old. He was about to go to university. His last wish was to confess to a high school girl that he had a crush on."
Gu Jun tried his best not to choke on his emotions, but the rims of his eyes were already reddening.
The people around him were moved as well, including the reporters.
"These are all normal people with normal wishes." Gu Jun continued, "They are not perfect and they are not great. But they are us. "
A part of his mood was confirmed, and the agitated voice became weaker and weaker.
"There are all kinds of problems in this world. This is not a perfect world but because of our small wishes, it is worth protecting."
"Phecda will be the first to join the global organization proposed by our country, the World Supernatural Alliance. We appeal to all countries to put aside their conflicts and cooperate in this field." Gu Jun's focused eyes glowed with a murderous glint as he announced a decision that was already made by his superior. "Phecda will be the first to join the global organization established by our country, the World Supernatural Alliance.
"Our mission is very simple." This was added by himself, it was meant for the media and the voice.
"If anything wishes to destroy the peace of humanity, we will destroy it."
The reporters below the stage immediately let out a buzz of surprise, and their faces became excited.
The audience in front of their mobile phones, televisions, and various other screens also went crazy.
Who would have thought this? The secret department had just revealed itself and now an international organization was about to be formed!
At that moment, Gu Jun stood up. The other members and the only one who remained calm stood up as well. The man was right, he had said exactly what they wanted to say. Everyone saluted in front of them again, then strode backstage amidst the applause of the reporters.
Walking down the corridor, Gu Jun could no longer hear the strange noise. 'Hide as far away as you can. Hide in the most secluded cave because I'm coming to capture you.'
Indeed, that was a declaration of war. He had had enough of being on the defensive, he had had enough of dealing with the situation. This was a new era, a new organization, a new atmosphere.
He wanted to drag them out one by one. Like pinching a mouse by the neck and pulling its tail, he wanted to kill them.
He had this belief, this was going to be a real golden era.
