The dream felt more real. Gu Jun found himself standing on a spacious marble balcony. The beautiful City of Dusk was before him.
The balcony had an eerily carved railing. Beside the railing were exquisite jars. Some were filled with clear water. Gu Jun wondered if it was some kind of fine wine. On the other side of the balcony, there was a staircase made from the same marble material. It seemed to extend endlessly down to the classic city streets below.
The streets were laid out in an orderly fashion. The sides were lined with lush trees, flowerbeds and ivory statues.
There were also high walls, temples, towers, pillars, arched bridges, squares, fountains …
All the beautiful buildings and facilities in the city shone like the sun. It was a soothing sight to behold. Gu Jun wondered how wonderful it would be to walk among them.
"Have I arrived at the City of Dusk …"
Gu Jun tried to move his limbs. He could faintly feel the presence of his limbs. It was stronger than when he was dreaming but it was not as good as physically entering Dreamlands. This also gave him a feeling that he could leap into the air with a single leap.
But when he tried to walk to the staircase and walk down to the city streets, he realized the 10 metres distance had become a chasm.
No matter how he tried, he could not get close to the staircase and he could not leave the balcony.
Furthermore, his sense of reality had weakened. At this rate, he would soon wake up from the dream.
Gu Jun instantly understood that he was not really at the City of Dusk, perhaps he was just seeing a clearer projection.
'Could this be the mission reward of '1 contact with the City of Dusk'? Am I in the middle of a contact? '
The thought made him anxious. Once he panicked, his sense of reality weakened. Gu Jun took a deep breath to calm himself down …
If a person's heart rate, breathing and blood flow increased in the middle of a dream, they would not be able to sleep well. This was why wet dreams always came at the crucial moment.
To make a dream last longer, one had to be calm.
As expected, as his emotions calmed down, that sense of reality rose again.
Gu Jun looked around again. Although he had to stay calm, he had to hurry up. It was not easy to get this chance to contact him. Did the foundation know about his arrival? Or do I need to call again? It was like knocking on the door of a house.
He concentrated and sensed this place. The whole city was full of vitality, but he couldn't see a single person walking on the streets.
"Hey, is anyone there?" In the end, he still roared and shouted at the surroundings, "I'm here, I'm here!"
Although this didn't quite match the tranquility and elegance of the surroundings, it really worked.
He saw ripples on the street under the balcony stairs, and a few blurry figures appeared and disappeared. He could not see their faces clearly, as if they were separated by a layer of dimension. But this feeling was the same feeling he had when he looked at the foundation staff last time.
Gu Jun was shocked. He knew that he had really made contact.
'How are you? 'he cried.
"Gu Jun … Hello …"
The few figures seemed to be unable to walk up to the balcony. They just stayed on the street, separated by this long staircase.
The voice that Gu Jun heard was still the deep and mature male voice that he heard last time. It still sounded like it was coming from an old-fashioned recorder, a little intermittent, and the voice quality was a little hoarse. "I'm glad that you can contact us … Your world is being eroded by darkness … We don't fully understand the situation. It's just the extent of illusion fragments …"
"Then what should we do to stop the abnormal babies from increasing? How do we save them? "Gu Jun asked directly," Is this an epidemic? "
"It can be defined as an epidemic … Your world … Shub-Niggurath's power, evolution …"
After only a few words, the few figures were slightly blurred, and the male voice became more intermittent. Obviously, every word of this information was not easy to convey. Gu Jun already felt a headache listening to it. "… Positive choice, negative choice, tie … It's an abnormal decision …"
There was a big rock that landed in Gu Jun's mind, it was an epidemic.
Over this period of time, the medical teams from both worlds had analyzed hundreds of thousands of cases and done a lot of epidemiological investigations, but they still could not find an obvious transmission mechanism. The infected babies and mothers covered all the population and regions, so the 'Abnormal Baby Disease' was just a hypothesis for now, and there was no effective prevention and control.
Now there seemed to be an answer, but the pathogen, the pathogenesis, and the transmission mechanism were still unknown.
"Even if there is sunlight … there is no way to make the darkness disappear, but … it can stop the abnormal babies …"
The male voice continued, "It's not a brand new one … It has also exploded in other worlds … The power of destruction … Nicholas …"
Gu Jun was excited. The City of Dusk seemed to have the experience of fighting against the abnormal baby disease, but the voice became more and more intermittent. Large chunks of information were missing, and there was even a buzzing sound. He asked urgently, "Then how do we stop it? What is that negative choice voice? What does it have to do with the world of Carlott College? "
"The world of Carlop … a source of Shub-Nicholas, the power that you summoned last time … came from there … The channel that connects both worlds has been … opened … The black goat cub is coming from there … and other … 'negative choices' are … our greatest enemy. Be careful, you have to be careful …"
The voice was intermittent, but some of the words were clear. Gu Jun caught the gist of it.
The black goat cub came to Earth from the foreign world. There was a channel, so it should be at Eastern State. That was why the Eastern State was so strange.
It was also because of this that the black goat cub disappeared so completely, and there were also the suspects. Was there a mutated area where the two worlds overlapped at Eastern State?
Regardless, Eastern State should be the frontier. If the situation was not controlled, it would spread to other places, not just the abnormal babies, but other places as well …
The more Gu Jun listened, the colder his heart became. 'Enemy, to be called the enemy by the City of Dusk …'
"It has the power to open the door … It is more than that … but it is always the negative choice …"
Gu Jun did not quite understand this, but he could not ask. The dream was shaking violently. The streets and buildings were dissolving, and they were rapidly spreading to the balcony. The few figures standing at the edge of the stairs also blurred like ink.
"… Use medical technology … to calm them down … Do not let them see Shub-Nicholas and his incarnation … It's inevitable … Hurry … Kill the black goat cub and cut off the connection …"
