When Gu Jun stood at the spot where he stood in the illusion, he had a feeling that this was the place he was in.
The corridor between the books was about 7 metres away from the podium.
But the shadow did not appear, there was no sign of it.
Gu Jun turned back to look but he still could not see the shadow on the ground. Yu Chi was looking at him from afar.
After a pause, Gu Jun moved closer to the podium until he stood next to it. The podium was not that tall, it was like the bed was not as tall as the table. Therefore, even from the side, Gu Jun could see the machine on the podium clearly. It looked like the large glass tubes and the metal rods and tubes.
Perhaps it was due to the close distance but the more he looked, the stranger he felt. It was as if some details were suddenly appearing in his mind …
It was like he was lying inside the glass chamber and his hands were shaking the metal rods …
"Ah …" Gu Jun's head started to throb with pain. His heart tightened and his heart rate rose rapidly.
"Captain Gu?" Yu Chi called, "Are you alright?"
"No, I think I saw something. There's no need to panic …" Gu Jun pressed his palms against his head, but he could not stop the pressure from rising. The strange feeling intensified. Some of the images flickered like illusions. He felt like he could see the intricate parts of the machine turning on each other like gears.
This machine was in good condition, and it could still be used …
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out, and the top of some of the tubes in the machine lit up. In the blink of an eye, the machine became colorful.
Gu Jun's eyes widened. He could already hear Yu Chi's scream, "The machine … the machine is moving! Captain Gu, did you activate it? "
"No, I didn't …" That was Gu Jun's first reaction but he was not sure if he really didn't …
But he really had no idea how the machine started, he just had a strong feeling. "Wait a minute, Captain Yu, watch this!"
The light of the machine became dazzling. Even the inscriptions, curves, and patterns engraved on the pedestal stone were all overflowing with light.
Suddenly, with the platform as the center point, a circular light shield appeared, covering an area with a diameter of ten meters, like a dome.
Gu Jun looked around in a daze. He saw that the space around him was rippling, and everything seemed to be distorting.
Everything seemed different, but everything was still the same.
But suddenly, perhaps in the span of a single frame, Yu Chi suddenly disappeared. He disappeared just like that.
Gu Jun's head felt heavy and the pain in his head intensified. What happened to Captain Yu? No, it was this space, space-time …
He found it hard to sort out his thoughts. A single thought seemed to weigh five hundred kilograms. This wasn't normal. It shouldn't be like this. There was another force …
Shadow, he saw it. He had two shadows, blurred and twisted together. One was him, and the other was the witch. That fellow was still following him. He followed him into the library and followed him all the way here, sticking close to him and lying in ambush. The moment there was an opportunity, he would pounce out like a venomous snake.
This distortion of space and time caused him to be weak, and she was using this to try to take control of his body.
She wanted to consume him, she had been planning to do so all this time.
But it was not a complete failure, perhaps she had succeeded this time …
"But I still found out …" Gu Jun gritted his teeth. Enduring the pain, he focused on resisting and banishing, "Get out!"
The witch did not appear and did not respond. But at that moment, he saw something that startled him.
Between the bookshelves on the other side of the corridor, a figure was walking over. It was a man in an exotic linen outfit. His hair was messy and his face was covered in scars. His skin was a strange and sickly purplish red. His sharp black eyes were filled with confusion.
"It's me, it's me …" Realization suddenly dawned on Gu Jun. "It has always been me."
The shadow, the shadow that he saw at the time, was himself.
The current him existed in the future to the past, and the current him existed in the past to the present.
There was no present, it was a conversation between the future and the past.
"Who are you?" At that moment, the man between the books turned to ask, or more accurately, he was the nightmare man.
Gu Jun remembered this conversation, he knew the nightmare man would ask, "Who are you? Why? Why are you doing this? "
"Who are you? Why?! " The man started to ask. His tone was laced with anger and anxiety. At the time, his mind was still heavily corrupted by the darkness. "Why are you doing this? How can I believe this information is real? Why don't you tell me directly? What do you want me to do? "
Gu Jun opened his mouth to speak but at that moment, the witch exerted force on him. His head felt like it was going to explode and his body started to sway …
He could not help but press his hands on his head. The words that he wanted to say became broken, broken and twisted.
"… Wearing a mask … Not bad … Sweet dream, use sweet dream … Change …"
But wasn't that how it was supposed to be?
The man frowned. Gu Jun knew very well that with every word the man heard, the splitting pain in his head would intensify. Perhaps this was the side effect of this kind of communication that transcended time and space, or perhaps it was because he was experiencing this kind of splitting pain himself.
There was actually only one brain, this conversation could be the implantation of his own thoughts …
"… Phecda Chaos … Secret Talisman … Wearing a mask … Gu Jun …"
The last thing Gu Jun wanted to say was, 'I am Gu Jun' but just as he remembered, that was the only thing that came out.
The witch's power was still roiling inside him, he could not hold on any longer. He wanted to say more to the man but he could not. The transcending time and space contact ended abruptly. The nightmare man disappeared. Gu Jun blinked in pain but Yu Chi was still there.
Perhaps only a few seconds had passed before Yu Chi made his move. He raised the shovel in his right hand, probably intending to smash one of the tubes on the machine.
That was not a proper archeological operation …
"Wait …" Gu Jun hurriedly stopped him. The machine on the table had stopped and the lights went out.
Gu Jun was still recovering from the witch's attack so he stuttered, "Captain Yu, I'm fine … Listen to me first.
"Captain Yu, I'm fine … Listen to me first. This machine can establish a super space conversation … I just talked to my past self … Can we use this machine to establish a more stable connection with the other end of the mysterious signal?"
