What he said made a lot of sense …
Gu Jun focused his mind. He could not figure out what to do with his past but this temptation was definitely not a good thing.
"Changing the past will cause a butterfly effect … I have no regrets but what about others? Why should I define it …?
Furthermore, how can I be considered to have no regrets? Changing again and again, wallowing in the past will only lead to living in the past … "
Gu Jun pressed on his head to focus on the cat's meowing. The voice was like a beacon, a rope that could lead him out of the maze. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Dirty-minded Yu! If you can hear me, grab me and drag me back! "
Meow! Suddenly, he felt a pain on his face. The illusion in front of him seemed to have been cut apart, and the confused voice gradually faded away.
Suddenly, a multi-colored cat reappeared in front of him. He couldn't help but press his right cheek. "Why did you go to my face …"
The cat who had just landed was still raising its paws. Perhaps it was because its head was too hard.
"You could have grabbed my palm." After what happened earlier, Gu Jun seemed to understand her better. "I've been disfigured, you've suffered a loss too."
The cat looked at its paws. There was no blood, it was fine.
Gu Jun said as he looked around. Yu Chi and Keziah Mason were still there.
"Captain Gu, there's an illusion …" Yu Chi gasped. "It's trying to trap us in the past …"
"I'm fine." Keziah Mason's expression was strange, stranger than before. If she was a normal girl, it would be impossible for her to survive until now.
The multi-colored cat made a hand gesture, indicating that there was still half an hour left on the countdown timer. They had spent more time in the illusion than they felt.
The three of them and the cat rested for a while before continuing their journey. The symbols on the concrete walls became fewer and simpler, with the exception of the Insect Oracle Bone Script. Gradually, there were only dots, straight lines, and circles. That was how the rock paintings of ancient humans started.
Then they passed through the Paleolithic Age. There were no more symbols on the wall, not even the Oracle Bone Script.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a strange colorful light. It was an exit.
Did the Locust God worshippers know of their arrival? Were they just ahead?
"Let me lead the way." The multi-colored cat meowed and walked over quickly. At this point, they had no other choice.
"Be careful!" Gu Jun now believed she was Dirty-minded Yu. His heart squeezed. "Yell if you need anything."
The cat disappeared into the light. In less than 3 seconds, it returned. She waved her paw. "There's no one, there's nothing. This is a strange space, I see many things …"
She said a lot but Gu Jun had no idea whether he heard her or not. "Come, let's go together."
He purposely placed Keziah Mason between him and Yu Chi. He held the sharp Carlot Scalpel in his hand, it was one of his few weapons.
The three came before the light and took a step forward.
Just this step but Gu Jun felt like he had arrived at another place. The light converged to form chaos and they stood in the middle of it.
Other than this entrance, there were no other buildings or decorations. There was only a river of light. It seemed to reach hundreds of thousands of miles underground but at the same time, it reached into the sky. The soft chanting continued to echo in the surroundings.
Gu Jun looked here and there. He frowned. There appeared to be many people here but they were nowhere to be seen …
"The source." Yu Chi grumbled. His mind was a mess. "The source of human civilization, the source of time, the source …"
Keziah Mason looked around as well. Her eyes darted here and there as her expression changed.
"Dirty-minded Yu, do you see anything?" Gu Jun did not see. Did they see the same thing or different things?
"No." Wu Shiyu shook his head. "But I saw some phantoms earlier. There are many locusts in Mo Bei at the Phecda World."
'Is there a need to control them? ' This thought crossed Gu Jun's mind. He was reminded of the temptation earlier, the so-called control of time and space …
Could this place be a time machine like the one the Yith had?
He did not think this kind of technology was unique to the Yith. This was because this world was too complicated. This could only mean that this kind of technology existed. Then there might be other forces that could do it.
If the Locust God could do it as well, if that was the case …
Gu Jun's head throbbed. It was as if the information around him rushed into his mind. If this space was different from the Yith's time machine and it was related to time and space … If the Locust God believers were indeed here but not now but in a different time …
"The Locust God believers might be here in another time and space." He said as he looked around, "Another dimension. This is also a place where time and space overlap. "
"Oh, that does sound like it." Wu Shiyu suddenly understood. "And I can see the overlapping of time and space."
"A spell chanted in another time and space?" The more Yu Chi thought about it, the more confused he became. "This ritual is related to time and space … What exactly is the sacrifice?"
Sacrifice the cultists themselves? Or a batch of Locust Sickness victims?
Gu Jun was reminded of the barren wasteland of the Wasteland World. Then he was reminded of Pnakotus City. It was not a wasteland but it was dead silent.
Or a sacrifice, a civilization? A race?
The Locust God, what kind of power did the Angel City worship have …
The more Gu Jun looked at the emptiness around him, the more panicked he became. Suddenly, a strange feeling of discomfort washed over him.
Emptiness, there was nothing. It was the chaos before the Big Bang.
Locusts could consume everything. Then did this include different time and space?
For a civilization or race, consuming its present was not enough to erase all traces of the civilization or race.
It was not only nibbling away at its present, but also its future and its past.
It would consume all traces of time and space until nothing was left.
"They are sacrificing human civilization." Gu Jun suddenly said, "They are no longer humans. The Locust God believers, Flying Locust, they look like humans but they are actually insects, locusts. They live inside human bodies but they can also take over other life forms."
His heart chilled. Even Yu Chi's expression shifted.
Due to the information brought by Wu Shiyu, they had some understanding of the Locust Sickness. Headmaster Chui, parasites, self-destruction.
Before this, Gu Jun had always thought the Angel City was inhabited by humans. The Flying Locust were humans but they belonged to a different faction from the rebel army.
But they were not humans.
After they consumed and sacrificed the human civilization, they would move on to the next civilization.
That was the life cycle of the parasite, from one host to the next.
And that was the locust.
