Gu Jun had no idea what kind of negotiation Yu Chi had with Mysterium. Perhaps it was to reason with him, perhaps he lost his temper or something else altogether.
Yu Chi said he did not reveal any of those secrets but due to his previous reputation, Mysterium still cooperated. They sent Feng Peiqian to lead the team to fulfill their needs and to guard against Gu Jun.
There were no Deep Ones in this world so Gu Jun could confirm that the Deep Ones were inseparable from the Dagon Esoteric Cult.
The cultists from Land of Mu who worshipped Gattanotoa, even though they were related to the ocean, they would not turn into Deep Ones.
There were also zombies in this world and there were legends about them. Obviously, these strange creatures had existed here for a long time. The difference was the zombies from Phecda World could travel to Dreamlands but the zombies from Mysterium World could not because they did not have the ability to leave their soul.
Because of that, it was hard for Phecda to capture a zombie alive. Be it Chen Defa or the zombies that Phecda captured after a series of battles when they destroyed the Lai Sheng Cult's contact points, all of them turned into corpses.
However, Mysterium was different. There were several zombies trapped inside the cages that trapped the abnormal creatures.
Now, 3 of the zombies were trapped inside a large iron cage. Feng Peiqian led a team to transport them to the peak of Peach Mountain. The mountain had been cordoned off by Mysterium. There was not a single visitor or manager. Due to Yu Chi's request, the number of Mysterium members was minimized.
The 3 zombies were handcuffed and shackled. Their mouths were sealed shut by electric muzzles. This made them more controllable but it also made their hunched bodies even weirder. Their wrinkled skin glowed under the night sky like will-o '-the-wisps.
"Captain Yu, looks like we're on the right track."
At the top of the mountain, Gu Jun and Yu Chi had finished setting up. Similar to the scene on the day of their success, there were digital cameras, old-fashioned tape recorders, and more pictures that surrounded them and the zombie cages.
Gu Jun narrowed his eyes. Looking at these strange ghouls, he began to feel a little agitated.
However, his body was not stiff, and he did not have the avoidance symptoms of PTSD. He seemed to have recovered.
This situation also happened to Yu China. In the past, he didn't have his whole body stiff, but he didn't have a good performance either. He would lose control and scream. But at that moment, Yu Chi stood firm and said, "Yes, we're on the right track …"
Feng Peiqian and the other five members of Mysterium were standing far away, outside the circle of paintings. They were all shocked.
They had been worried, not knowing what Captain Yu was up to. They had no idea if 'Gu Jun' was working with the zombies to break into the prison. Their biggest worry was whether Captain Yu's body could take it.
If he had to face three ghouls at once, he might need to be rescued.
In fact, a team of medical colleagues was on standby not far from the top of the mountain. They could rush over to save people at any time.
"Captain Yu, you …" Feng Peiqian was surprised but also confused. "You've recovered?"
"Have I …" Yu Chi looked at his limbs and scratched his head. "Yes, I'm much better. But I'm too normal. This is still too normal."
Feng Peiqian was confused and so was the rest of the team. Why would there be such a change? Their eyes naturally turned to Gu Jun with suspicion.
It appeared that after this guy's sudden appearance, Captain Yu had done more inexplicable things over the past week.
But for some reason, it was effective … Was this considered good or bad?
Gu Jun ignored their stares. In any case, he was feeling great. His brain was still congested and his blood flow was rising rapidly. However, the various brain regions had reached a new equilibrium. His heart pounded vigorously and the feeling of a strong heart had returned.
Even his own hands, the pair of Hands of Dexterity, every muscle, every nerve, and every blood vessel, the exquisite sense of control had returned.
It was not just a return but a whole new state.
If he went for the mental power assessment now, perhaps the value would exceed 100.
If he was still at the Phecda World, he could return to Phecda by now.
"This is still too normal …" Yu Chi scratched his beard in distress. "Are there not enough ghouls? Ah, Qianpei, quick, open their masks! Yes, they didn't speak, but their words can make people go crazy. Let them speak, hurry up … "
The metal masks were electrically operated, they did not need to be physically opened, they only needed to press a small button on the remote.
Gu Jun agreed. "I hope you haven't pulled out all their teeth."
Without teeth, a ghoul was like a milk tea without pearls, a coke without ice, they were soulless.
"Now you're not so dumb." Feng Peiqian said with a smile. "Pay attention to your persona." Before this, the guy's persona was a homeless man who only knew how to smile.
"Erm." Gu Jun once again flashed the silly smile that he had become so familiar with.
But what he got in return was a more hostile glare from Feng Peiqian, Chen Ziyuan and the rest. This was the same smile that hung on the big bad wolf's face when he went to knock on the door to ask Little Red Riding Hood to open the door. They wanted to say, 'Like hell I'll believe you.'
At the same time, the few ghouls hissed madly. One of them even slammed into the iron cage, creating a clanging sound.
That was to draw everyone's attention back. They had intelligence, human intelligence. They could understand what Gu Jun was saying. They wanted to remove the masks as soon as possible.
"Peiqian!" Yu Chi called out. He was the only one who was as anxious as a zombie.
"Fine, Captain, if you're conducting some kind of experiment, be prepared." Feng Peiqian knew the consequences. "The ghouls might be able to use spells."
Yu Chi glared at the ghouls. "Other than what they want to summon, don't worry about the other spells. No matter what happens to me and Ah Jun, don't worry about it."
Gu Jun nodded and did not say anything else. The digital camera started to record. He walked over and turned on the recorder.
Rustling white noise suddenly rang out. This sound immediately brought him and Yu Chi's consciousness to another state.
On the other side, Chen Ziyuan and the rest raised the stun guns in their hands. Feng Peiqian pressed the remote. With a click, the masks on the three ghouls popped open.
"Ah …" They opened their canine mouths to reveal blackened fangs. "You shouldn't have done that. You'll pay the price …"
Gu Jun looked at their bloody mouths and listened to their weird screams. His head started to crack with pain. This was the feeling …
"It's coming, it's coming!" Yu Chi was excited. "It's working, it's working!"
Feng Peiqian and the rest looked on with shock. The two walked toward the ghouls' cage. The night breeze blew, and the pictures around them crackled. Feng Peiqian's group felt a chill run down their spine. However, they did not see anything strange. The white noise was still white noise, and the pictures were still pictures.
Captain Yu had reminded them to keep quiet and even banned the use of cell phones. Therefore, they could only communicate through their eyes. What was going on?
However, they still had to focus and resist the strange mental invasion brought by the ghouls.
"If you can hear this signal … we … are the good guys …"
The symbols appeared on the pictures, and the signal was broadcasted from the tape recorder.
Gu Jun frowned. He allowed the agitation brought by the zombie to batter at his mind, turning it into a distorted state. He yelled into the night sky, "I hear you, please respond, please respond."
"We're here!" Yu Chi also yelled like a madman. "We're here!"
Amidst the agitation of the three ghouls and the confusion of Feng Peiqian's group, a voice suddenly appeared. Only Gu Jun and Yu Chi could hear it.
The recorder froze. After a few seconds of white noise, the twisted voice said, "Hello … Time is running out … Can't …"
Gu Jun's spirits were lifted for a moment before they sank again. Not much time? Communication time?! '
He quickly asked, "What should we do now? Tell us! "
Yu Chi had also thought about this possibility. Perhaps this kind of high-dimensional communication consumed more than just "Crazy Energy", but something else as well.
There wasn't much time left. Not every communication connection would be successful. There weren't countless attempts.
"Accept … go …" Even though their mental power was stronger, compared to last time, the voice was more distorted and blurry. "Pnakotus City … Seal … Stone … Pnakotus City … Entrance … Has bound your mind … Accept …"
Sha sha …
The white noise came from the recorder again. The split crosses on the pictures all disappeared.
"Ah!" Gu Jun's head throbbed with pain like he was whacked by a giant hammer. He knew this was the end of the communication.
Just this short connection was enough to make his head explode.
"Pnakotus …" Yu Chi's face alternated between green and red. He gasped for air but he did not manage to finish the sentence. His eyes turned to Gu Jun.
Gu Jun grabbed one of them. The Pnakotus Manuscripts, Pnakotus City.
'Go to Pnakotus City? ' Seal, it's the Ancient Seal, stone, opaline … Gu Jun was suddenly reminded of something. He felt like he understood the broken words better. Pnakotus City! With the opaline from the Ancient Seal, he could find the entrance to Pnakotus City.
The Ancient Seal stone that he brought back from City of Kindle and the Ancient Seal stone that Mysterium unearthed were both made from the opaline from Australia.
Gu Jun suspected this because when he returned from Dreamlands, he was at the western part of Australia.
After the global security situation changed, Australia joined GOA. Therefore, Phecda had more cooperation with them.
One of them was to investigate the place where he and Peacock had just returned from and the small town where Kathlyn had stayed when she was young. However, there was no result. But what if … it was not in that world?
Like Innsmouth, it was in Massachusetts but it was not in the Phecda World.
Pnakotus City was in Australia but it was in the Mysterium World.
"Leader, how are you guys?!" Feng Peiqian asked nervously. Seeing that they were done, she asked, "Can we come over now?" Chen Ziyuan and the others aimed their guns at the three Ghouls, telling them to behave themselves. If they came at them for real, then they would come at them for real.
However, the 6 of them had no idea what just happened. They looked at each other, 'Is that some kind of ritual?'
Actually, Mysterium already had this suspicion because this was a ritual. It had requirements for the location and setup and it required the zombies to provide some kind of dark energy. 'Has Gu Jun ', this guy who looked dumb but was not dumb at all, dragged Captain Yu into the darkness?'
Gu Jun was drenched in cold sweat from the night breeze.'This is the answer? To Pnakotus City? '
Perhaps the 'time is running out' had another meaning, they had to move now.
"Captain Yu, I believe we have to go to Australia." He said.
"Yes, tonight …" Yu Chi was even more anxious than he was. He did not respond to Feng Peiqian. He was still trying to figure out the meaning of the sentence that he heard earlier.
"Shackle your brain."
What shackled their brain? How could they not be shackled? What would happen if they were not shackled?
