At Eastern State Phecda Medical Base, a stone statue stood before the Psychology Building. The statue was of a young man in a white coat. He had an upright posture and a valiant expression. This was the statue that was erected for Gu Jun after the Nightmare Illness incident. It had been there for more than a year.
On the morning of the 21st, Gu Jun returned to his old home and for the first time, he stood before the statue to look at it.
He was still at Shen Hai City yesterday but he arrived early this morning. Accompanying him was Wu Shiyu. She was currently standing beside him.
Kedou, Wu Shiyu, and the Lee family's parents were temporarily moved to Da Hwa City for protection.
"As expected, without saltiness, there is no soul." Wu Shiyu commented as she stared at the statue.
This was not her first visit but every time she did, she would find something new to dislike. "And it doesn't feel like this."
"Isn't that a rock?" Gu Jun turned to look at her.
"I don't need to touch it, I can feel it just by looking at it." Wu Shiyu shrugged. "But it doesn't feel like you."
Alright, Gu Jun would have to leave it to fate. He did not mind the statue but at that moment, he was feeling quite down and embarrassed.
Over the past few days, not only did his physical condition not improve, the mysterious signal did not appear again. Last time, he did not tell anyone and it reappeared 3 days later; this time, it had been 12 days since he told Wu Shiyu about the symbol and requested Phecda to search for it.
He did not bring the LCD screen from the suite with him but he did bring Dirty-minded Yu's watercolor of the sky with him.
At this time, the two of them only stayed in front of the statue for a while before they followed Team Leader Tang Zhifeng, Professor Peng, and the others who came out to meet them and walked into the psychology building.
The neurology department could not come up with a cure for abnormal Tourette Syndrome so they could only rely on the psychology department. Normal Tourette Syndrome patients were mainly treated with psychotherapy. For now, they did not wish to undergo frontal lobotomy or other neurological surgery. After all, the patients were still very young …
Furthermore, they did not show any signs of pain or other abnormalities. Even though their twitching frequency increased, it was no more than normal Tourette Syndrome patients.
In addition, the epidemic had stopped, and there were no new patients.
Therefore, the Medical Department temporarily did not perform irreversible operations that would cause serious side effects to patients.
"Ah Jun, long time no see." Tang Zhifeng sighed. The last time he saw Gu Jun was during the Nightmare Illness. After that, everyone thought that Gu Jun had died.
"Leader Tang, I've always wanted to come back and have a look, but I never had the chance." Gu Jun was being honest. Ever since he returned from Dreamlands last year, he had been plagued by Legionnaires Syndrome and Mutated Scale Disease. He was either busy or recovering from his injuries. Initially, he planned to return to Eastern State after the Shen Hai Station, but he did not expect it to be like this.
Entering the building, Gu Jun saw even more old acquaintances that he had not seen for a long time. Sun Yuheng and Jiang Banxia, who had entered at the same time as him. He knew that Banxia was Zixuan's girlfriend.
Cai Zixuan was there as well. He was one of the members sent by the headquarters. There was a sense of relief in their reunion.
GOA's The One had also arrived at Eastern State. Deng Ximei, Lou Xiaoning, Uncle Dan and Peacock were all there. The team was investigating the oaks around Eastern State. They had been busy for the past few days but so far, they had found nothing useful.
When they told Gu Jun about these things, they had to pay attention to his reaction. If anything went wrong, they had to stop immediately.
Tong Ye had given Cai Zixuan a mission to take good care of Gu Jun. This was because Wu Shiyu would often daydream or daydream. Many people at Eastern State did not know about Gu Jun's condition, they only knew that he was currently in a special state and they needed to pay close attention to him.
Some of the children had been moved here, including Zhong Huili, who was the first to perform the Magic Flute.
The tests confirmed that the patients did not carry any infectious pathogens so there was no need for them to wear protective gear.
Inside a single sickroom, Gu Jun, Wu Shiyu and the rest met Zhong Huili, the 6-year-old child.
Huili was accompanied by her mother. She had seen many doctors over the past few days and was no longer as shy as she used to be. Her apple-cheeks were rosy and her pair of clear and innocent eyes were blinking. She looked at them from one to the other, and she looked healthy and fine. Huili was not a big deal.
When Gu Jun saw this little girl, his head started to throb. 'Is it because of the supernatural …'
"Little Huili, do you know who I am?" He pulled off the mask and asked with a smile.
The child's mother, Song Fang, was shocked and overjoyed. She recognized him, it was Gu Jun! It was the Phecda Hero, Gu Jun, there was even a statue of him outside.
Even though she had no idea what had happened, Song Fang felt like her daughter was saved! As long as it was Gu Jun, there would be no problem.
"That big brother!" Little Huili recognized him as well, "The big brother from the television."
"Yes, I am Gu Jun …" Gu Jun's headache intensified. He took a deep breath and held onto Cai Zixuan to steady himself. The surroundings made him more and more uncomfortable … Perhaps it was his imagination but his voice was heavy. "I'm here, I'm here."
Suddenly, Little Huili's eyes blinked and her face twitched. She let out a violent curse!
But then she leaped into her mother's embrace. She did not know what to do.
Everyone understood that it was her tics … But Prof Peng and Leader Tang still frowned. This was the first time a patient did not scream 'Gu Jun' but cursed — this was a typical symptom of Tourette Syndrome.
Why would she curse in front of Gu Jun?
Was it a coincidence? Or … the dark force behind this had a mental connection with these children?
Therefore, the enemy could even control the voices they made?
When Gu Jun heard this curse, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time exploded. Thinking about the 519 other sick children and the 7 medical workers who had lost their lives to the oak tree, he raised his head and cursed at the people around him, "Scum! Why are you hiding if you're so powerful? Aren't you looking for me? I'm here! "
"Bastards!" Little Huili who was still scared suddenly cursed. She repeated Gu Jun's curse, this was also a typical symptom of Tourette Syndrome, "Bastards, bastards!"
Her face twisted into a grimace. She kept cursing but it sounded like she was laughing at them.
However, the rationality assessment stone on her wrist did not glow red. This was not a mental corruption …
Her mother, Song Fang, was about to cry. Everyone was sad.
At that moment, Gu Jun groaned in pain. He held his head with both of his hands. His muscles tensed up and he was about to fall to the ground. The situation was getting more chaotic. Cai Zixuan and Wu Shiyu quickly helped him out of the room. Sun Yuheng and the rest followed in shock. They finally understood how bad Gu Jun's condition was … Song Fang was stunned.
However, Little Huili's spasms did not stop. She was still making faces and making strange, crazy noises.
