Gu Jun ran back to the autopsy room. Uncle Dan, Xiao Huiwen and the rest had left. Cai Zixuan was still cleaning up the autopsy table and Wu Shiyu was still lying on the couch. Gu Jun hurried over to nudge her shoulders. "Shi Yu, Shi Yu, wake up!" Just as Gu Jun's heart tightened, Wu Shiyu opened her sleepy eyes.
"You're in such a deep sleep, you gave me quite a fright." Gu Jun sat down next to her and sighed in relief. He looked at her and then at Deng Ximei, who was still there.
"What?" Wu Shiyu was confused. She nodded off and closed her eyes. "Fate has it."
Gu Jun frowned in thought. He had a feeling that a conspiracy was gathering …
He continued to read Lydia's letter in his mind. Other than the Conqueror Worm, there was another paragraph at the beginning of the letter.
"It is a blessing to have met you. All my regrets have turned into nothing. There is no need to waste time on useless words. Can mortals only accept the arrangements given by the gods? Can death only be controlled by the gods? Let it end, let death end everything, but death is just another beginning. "
'What does that mean? ' Gu Jun's head started to hurt. The dark energy in his heart roiled …
Whether Lydia was Doctor Carlop or whether she died of hemoptysis was still an unknown. But this was a suicide letter written by this woman, there had to be a deeper meaning behind every sentence.
Deng Ximei was sitting on the sofa next to him. Gu Jun walked over to ask her, "If these words were written by a dying person, what do you think they would mean?" Deng Ximei was silent for a while. She raised her brows and said, "A mortal cannot control their birth but perhaps they can control their death."
"Using one's own will to fight against fate, to end oneself, to destroy oneself, to commit suicide." She said.
Realization dawned on Gu Jun. Then he was reminded of what Deng Ximei had said. Death would free her from this world. She had always viewed suicide as a solution.
Lenton chose suicide … Was it because of this letter? This shouldn't be the only reason, but it was one of the reasons …
Were the words in the letter only literal? He felt that it wasn't that simple. Could this be some sort of code?
Was suicide the solution? What kind of beginning is death?
Gu Jun looked at Deng Ximei and reassessed her. She was one year younger than him. The Afterlife Cult's Spirit Child Training Plan was initiated by the Son of Misfortune and then Lydia. This was not a coincidence, it was a connection … The Son of Misfortune, Lydia …
The more he thought about it, the more agitated the Son of Misfortune's power became. It was as if something in deep sleep was awakening.
This caused the sense of urgency in his heart to become more and more real. Time, he had to make full use of it.
There were still a few hours before dawn. Gu Jun made up his mind and called the command center. "I'm going to Luo Sha Village to take a look. If I don't find anything, I'll go to Isla Salas y Gomez. Please make the necessary arrangements." After the call, he leaned against the back of the sofa with Wu Shiyu and took a nap.
In his hazy dreams, the sky gradually brightened.
Gu Jun recovered some of his energy after the nap but he still could not open the Son of Steel's sweet dream and the Deep One's language book. He confirmed that it was not only his mental power that was lacking but something else.
Luo Sha Village was a small southern village where Tian Yi worked. There were some factories but there was nothing special about it.
Before leaving Bei He City's People's Hospital, Gu Jun went to check on Xie Yiman with Uncle Dan and the rest.
For this patient, Gu Jun had put in a lot of effort. But that was the daily routine of a responsible clinician, be it treating a strange disease or a normal disease.
"Yiman, we'll arrange for you to undergo skin grafting and excision."
Gu Jun explained to Xie Yiman. Over the past few days, the patients in the experimental group had recovered well, there was no relapse; Xie Yiman's keratinization had worsened, it was time for surgery. Since Gu Jun was going on a mission and had no experience in this field, the surgery would be handled by experts from dermatology and plastic surgery.
"After the skin grafting, there'll be some plastic surgery. There'll be better treatment opportunities at Dreamlands in the future, don't worry."
"Hmm …" Xie Yiman's face was still swollen so she could not make any expression. Her eyes were crooked and her lips could barely move.
Therefore, her expression could not express her emotions. She was still depressed but she was slowly accepting this cruel reality.
Gu Jun, Uncle Dan and the rest comforted her. Just as they were about to leave, Xie Yiman suddenly called out, "Doctor Gu, doctors, thank you … You've done so much for me, I'm so grateful … I wish you all the best …"
"Don't worry about it, it's my duty." Gu Jun smiled at her. After all, it was his duty to save people in his white coat. "I wish you a smooth operation as well."
After the inspection, the Deep One's body was transported back to the Spell Department's base while they took a private jet to Luo Sha Village.
That afternoon, Gu Jun walked down the dilapidated alleyway of Luo Sha Village. There were many 4 to 5 storey cement wall rental houses on both sides of the road. They were filled with migrant workers. The sewers were obviously in disrepair. The stench from the sewers permeated the air. There were also feces left behind by free-range chickens, ducks and dogs.
Gu Jun visited Tian Yi's rental house, Doctor Liang's clinic, the factory where Tian Yi worked and the dormitory where she used to stay. He found nothing. Standing by the riverbank where she was last seen, the agitation in his heart was the strongest.
The investigation team deduced that she had disappeared from this river, and after a few turns along this river for less than a hundred kilometers, it would be the Pacific Ocean.
The investigation team had investigated the ship that passed by Luo Sha Village on the day of her disappearance but if it was the Deep One who took her away, they would not be able to find anything.
'Sea? ' Gu Jun was silent. If the Deep Ones took Tian Yi away, where would they take her to when they arrived at the sea?
In the evening, they took a chartered plane to Easter Island in the South Pacific. Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu, Deng Ximei, Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning, Peacock, Malachite and members from Spell Department, Ancient Seal Department and Research Department, they were all elites.
This was a joint mission between many countries. When they arrived, they would meet up with the US FBM members and then they would board the ship to Isla Salas y Gomez.
"I hope we can return before the mid-autumn festival."
On the plane, Gu Jun sighed as he looked out the window at the clouds and the sea. Mid-Autumn festival was only a few days away.
"There will be a special online sale that day, I've already bought everyone's mid-autumn festival gifts." Wu Shiyu who sat next to him answered, "I've been waiting for that day to arrive."
"What kind of gift is mine?" Gu Jun looked at her expectantly. He had not received any mid-autumn festival gifts for the past 2 years.
"Ah, should I tell you?" Wu Shiyu sighed and tilted her head, "There's mooncake and something else … I'll tell you when we return."
