It happened during the First World War. Jack Wells, an American naval officer, was on a mission to escort a mail ship when he encountered the German Navy and was captured by the entire ship. However, the officer managed to escape by stealing a lifeboat and drifted in the Pacific Ocean for many days.
During that time, his boat drifted to a foul-smelling island or reef. He could not tell where it was and he had no idea where it was.
He wandered for a whole day looking for help and eventually ran into a giant sea monster that he suspected to be Dagon on a hill. He was so scared that he lost his mind and fell into a hallucination. He could only vaguely remember escaping back to the boat. When he came back to himself, he was already lying in a hospital in San Francisco.
It turned out that Jack Wales was rescued by a large ship, but no one saw what he said, and no one believed him.
The man suffered from panic disorder. He could not eat or sleep well and was tormented by the experience. He claimed that he dreamed that the sea monsters would one day drag humanity into the abyss of the ocean and the creatures of the deep would become the rulers of the world.
Looking at the newspaper, Gu Jun frowned. He reread the small article at the corner of the newspaper several times. His heart was in a state of disarray …
From the looks of it, the man was probably not lying.
His strange dream was not purely a result of his subconscious, it was probably caused by the mental corruption he suffered on the island and his S Value was very low.
"I have a feeling this is real." Gu Jun communicated with the command central. "But this newspaper doesn't say much, many of the claims made by the man probably haven't been published yet."
Even so, they could not find anyone to ask because this was an old newspaper from more than a hundred years ago. They were already lucky to get this little information.
For the time being, they couldn't find out where the World Journal found this anecdote, and they couldn't get any results by searching for keywords such as "Jack Wales" on the internet.
"The American military should have a file on this incident, the officers have to go through it." Tong Ye said and he sounded annoyed. "But that FBM might not be willing to give us the information we need. We've given them clues but they're still trying to take advantage of us. "
Gu Jun listened and pondered. There was a reason why Tong Ye was angry. Recently, the cooperation between the two sides had not been very smooth.
Now that the legionella pneumonia had subsided, the war between the various countries started again, especially the US.
Moreover, it was America after all. They were rich and powerful, and they had recently reached an agreement with Angell's Order. As a matter of fact, the school had been split into two factions. Prof Jiang was on Phecda's side while the American headquarters was on the other side. Even though they did not have as much information about Dreamlands as Phecda did, it was enough for America to start their research on the subject. In time to come, there would be a breakthrough.
On the other hand, there were many secret societies and mysterious organizations in the world. If FBM was looking for a partner, Curse was not that far away.
Speaking of which, in the 1970s and 1980s, the reason for the popularity of supernatural powers in China was due to the competition between major countries in the world such as America and Russia. The Ganzfeld experiment and the concept of extrasensory perception were all imported products.
Therefore, one could predict that now that the US had restarted this field, with their foundation and the current state of the world, their growth would be rapid.
However, Phecda had already warned the various countries about the dangers of Curse. Curse was not to be taken lightly. Back then, the cases of FBM experimenters going insane from practicing Curse were the minor ones. Do not think you've stumbled upon a treasure and turned into a cultist or a mutant.
The scariest thing was if the entire government was infiltrated, that would put the whole world in danger.
Phecda would sell the Ancient Seal products at an appropriate time because this had nothing to do with GOA or WMO, this was about the safety of the whole world.
"Ah Jun, leave this to us. You can focus on the autopsy room. We have plenty of bargaining chips in our hands, we don't have to worry about them refusing to provide us with the information. "
Tong Ye was not bluffing. A broken Deep One carcass and a low quality rationality assessment stone would be more than enough to satisfy FBM.
"Okay, ask 'Innsmouth' as well, I have a feeling the name is spelled in English."
After ending the call, Gu Jun returned to the autopsy room. He did not have much time and it was not going to be easy to get a 10 star rating.
Uncle Dan, Xiao Huiwen and the rest resumed their work. Gu Jun focused his attention as he dissected the Uncle Lee one slice at a time. He dissected the facial scales, the superficial fascia, the complicated blood vessels and nerves. He dissected the Uncle Lee that he once knew into little pieces.
'Uncle Lee, why are you doing this? For the so-called truth? '
Gu Jun had a feeling his parents were still alive, they were not among the Deep One's carcasses.
They were moving around somewhere, plotting something …
Time passed and the autopsy progress rose, 1%, 2%, 3% …
After the first night, Gu Jun's team completed the autopsy on the Deep One's face and skull.
After resting and eating breakfast, two hours later, the dissection room became busy again. This time, it was the neck.
The dissection was not entirely smooth. Gu Jun studied as he dissected. The condition of the Deep One's neck was very complicated. The gill system was not similar to a human's. Only when he saw the shrunken but still existing lymph nodes, did he believe that the Deep One was a human.
Be it the neck, chest or abdomen, Gu Jun was careful with every scale he dissected. With Cai Zixuan leading the way, they recorded the possible scaly network.
At the end of the first 24 hours, Gu Jun only rested 3 times, each time for 2 hours. The completion rate was 21%.
During the second break, they went to the sickroom for a ward round. Xie Yiman's condition was stable after the surgery. There was no recurrence of itchiness or red skin spreading. However, the diseased skin showed no signs of improvement either. There was more dandruff and the skin was hardening like keratinization. If this continued, they might need to perform a dermatotomy to complete the treatment.
When the second 24 hours were up, Gu Jun was already exhausted. He needed more rest, two and a half hours at a time. Cai Zixuan, Uncle Dan and the rest were no longer working. Xiao Huiwen mumbled, "It's good to be young." His completion rate rose to 40%.
There was no change in Xie Yiman's condition; the investigation team had a new lead. They basically confirmed that Tian Yi left the rental house at around 6 pm on the day of her consultation. She went missing at a river next to the village. At the time, an old man who worked in the fields beside the river saw a strange young girl with a towel wrapped around her face walk past.
The investigation team was still following Tian Yi's location. When Gu Jun woke up from his nap, he received another message from Tong Ye.
Phecda used a heavily burnt and missing Deep One carcass to trade for FBM to provide Jack Wills' file and all the related documents. There was a detailed interview with Jack Wills.
Other than the photocopies, the files were loaned to Phecda so that Gu Jun could better understand the situation at the time.
As for that Jack Wales, after failing to commit suicide many times, he suddenly disappeared one day. His whereabouts were unknown.
