Gu Jun did not look at the copy because it would lower his perception of the original because the brain always received new information for the first time.
At the end of the third 24 hours, the autopsy completion rate rose to 63%. They had completed the autopsy on the Deep One's abdomen and spine.
In these 3 days, Xie Yiman and the other patients who underwent the double lesion surgery stabilized while the patients who underwent the single lesion surgery and those who did not undergo the surgery were tormented by the itch. A portion of the patients had entered the second stage of spreading. The medical team immediately performed a complete surgical treatment.
The results for the experimental group that did not undergo lesion surgery but skin grafting were also out. All 15 patients still suffered from the itch. When they scratched the new skin grafts, the lesions returned. At this point, the medical team could confirm that the cause of the itch was not the skin but the nervous system.
Of the patients who underwent the double lesion surgery, another 15 were selected for dermatotomy and skin grafting. The effect was still to be observed.
Since Xie Yiman's condition was stable and Gu Jun was in a rush to perform the autopsy, there was no rush to arrange for her to do the surgery.
The new patients were still appearing and the pathogenesis was still unknown. The number of patients had reached 371 domestically and more than 2000 globally. Most of them were public figures but other than the entertainment industry, there were signs of the disease spreading. Even celebrities and non-celebrities from the cultural and sports world started to show symptoms.
If this continued, perhaps even the leaders of various industries would not be spared …
If this was the Mutated Scale Disease, it would not be surprising for it to become a legend.
Even though it had only been a week, the disaster was getting more and more obvious. Especially in America and England, some of the annual events and fashion events were suddenly cancelled. No matter how the media reported it, the public knew it was strange. Combined with the evil video …
Everyone was spreading rumors that something bad was happening. That feeling of suspicion and panic was also surging in the dark.
The night was dark. It was another early morning. The original files of the Jack Wales case were escorted by a Special Mobile Force unit to Bei He City People's Hospital.
When Gu Jun walked into the empty conference room alone, a thick stack of documents was placed on the table.
These documents had been dusty for hundreds of years, and the old kraft portfolio exuded a faint musty smell. Of course, it was all in English. His English was barely good enough to use, and the command center was afraid that he would not be able to use it well enough, so they made a translation of the copy and brought it along with the original for his reference.
"Let's have a look." Gu Jun pulled a chair over and sat down. Like opening a box, he first looked at the documents.
Jack Wales' personal military file, detailed conversation records, medical report, conversation records of relevant personnel, incident investigation report …
This matter was naturally full of doubts, and there was a big problem in terms of timing.
First, on October 5, 1914, when World War I had just begun, the East Asian Fleet of the German Empire had not yet been defeated and was still active in the Pacific region. At that time, they were refueling on Easter Island. On that day, the mail ship escorted by Wales was captured by a German warship in the eastern waters of Easter Island.
According to Wales, five days after he was captured, he escaped using a lifeboat. He then drifted on the sea for about a few days before the boat ran aground on the shore of the isolated island. He stayed on the boat for three days and walked ashore for four days. He encountered Dagon on a hill, escaped, returned to the boat, and escaped into the sea.
From the time he was captured, it was about half a month later. The date when Wales escaped back to the boat and left the island should be within October 1914.
But then Wales regained consciousness, and he was in the San Francisco Hospital. It was already April 16, 1920.
And according to the captain of the El Horn who rescued Wales, they rescued him on March 23, 1920, in the eastern waters of Easter Island. At that time, he was in a state of delirium, laughing strangely, his clothes were tattered, and his face was full of beard. He looked like he had been drifting on the sea for a long time.
Where did Wales go in the intervening five years? Was he drifting on the sea in a state of delirium?
In fact, there was no island at all, and Wales had been drifting? Or was he stranded on an uninhabited island not far from Easter Island, Isla Salas y Gomez? He was trapped on the island for a few years and did not even know the German army was defeated and the end of World War I? He had also driven himself crazy, and had produced so many stories about madmen.
These were the questions and conclusions of the investigators at the time.
But then again, Gu Jun thought, 'Perhaps Wales stayed on the island for more than a few days? Or did time flow differently on the island and away from the island?
That isolated island couldn't possibly be an ordinary space.
South Pacific, Easter Island, Isla Salas y Gomez …
Phecda and FBM had teamed up to investigate these two locations. Now that the situation was getting more serious, cooperation was the only way to win.
At that moment, Gu Jun looked at Jack Wales' military file. Navy Captain, born on June 8, 1879. He looked at the faded black and white photo on the file. It was a handsome young man. He felt restless in his heart, as if he could feel Wales' fear that was enough to drive people crazy.
This feeling told him that Wales' story was not the ramblings of a lunatic.
Putting down the file, Gu Jun flipped through the conversation records.
The recording was divided into many parts. The content of the conversation was mainly about how the Germans captured the mail ship, how Wales escaped, and whether he should be sent to the military court. As for the sea monster he mentioned, the investigators did not pay enough attention to it.
"Conversation Record with Captain Jack Wales - Island, Data Number: 86-478-0951, Date: 4-27-1920
Investigators: Bernard Baldwin, Margaret Barry
Baldwin: Can you give us a detailed description of the island?
Wales: I'm not sure it's a small island, I don't know how big it is. I was stranded on a wide black swamp. It was slippery, and the stench was … indescribable. The black swamp was filled with fish and animal carcasses … It was like some kind of sacrifice …
Baldwin: Sacrifice? Why do you think so?
Wales: On the fourth day of being stranded, I went to the island. Then, I walked towards the highest hill on the west side of the wasteland for four days before I reached the foot of the hill … When I finally climbed to the top of the hill, I saw … there was a huge stone tablet on the opposite side of the hill. There were many inscriptions and carvings on the tablet … Heavens, do I have to remember all these? That's the devil's creation, that must be the devil's creation …
Barry: Mr. Wales, please calm down. You are safe now.
Baldwin: What are the inscriptions and reliefs like?
Wales: I've never seen those words before. They look like hieroglyphics, or some kind of aquatic creature's symbol. I don't know what they are … Those relief patterns, deformed, weird … Damn those cursed pagan creations! God forgive me …
Baldwin: Sir, you haven't told me about the reliefs?
Wales: Their ugliness is beyond our imagination. They have the shape of a human but their bodies are covered in scales, their limbs are webbed, their heads are like a giant fish and their eyes are bulging out … In the reliefs, they are slaughtering a whale … I don't want to think about those images anymore, they make humanity's sin seem more benevolent …
Barry: And then the Fish God Dagon appeared?
Wales: That monster, that giant monster … I can't think about it anymore … It's driving me crazy, it's driving me crazy …
Barry: Sir, calm down, the Germans have lost. You can go home now, no one can harm you.
Wales: No, no … I'm not afraid of the Germans, no …]
After reading the first page of the document, Gu Jun's fear of Wales deepened. The agitation in his heart grew, and the dark energy in his heart seemed to be stirring.
The reliefs on the stone tablet were obviously Deep Ones and the inscriptions or symbols were probably the language of the Deep Ones.
However, he had no idea what the inscriptions were.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Jun flipped the document to the next page and continued to read with rapt attention.
