The intermittent voice gradually faded away, returning to silence.
The dream of the City of Dusk dissolved into a fleeting illusion. He was surrounded by darkness. Suddenly, Gu Jun felt himself waking up. Other voices approached him. They were also human voices, but they carried with them a sense of anxiety that he was already familiar with.
"In this situation, we have to try anything. Shi Yu, since you can't wake Captain Gu up with a kiss, it means that the love pillar is useless. It's time to try family and friendship. Captain Gu has many friends, but only I have a mental pillar that connects to him, and there are two of them … "
"Oh, you want to kiss him, right?"
"Kiss is the last option. I want to give him a hug first and then call out to him. In any case, there needs to be some physical contact, that will strengthen the connection."
"We'll leave it to fate, but I really feel like he's just too tired to wake up."
"It's been 26 hours already! Even if Captain Gu's vital signs are stable and his electroencephalogram shows that he's asleep … no matter what, it's not normal for him to sleep for so long. "
"Actually, I've looked into it before. The Guinness World Record for the length of natural sleep is 47 hours, almost two whole days. Therefore, I can sleep for a whole day, but now he's sleeping for 26 hours. That's understandable. "
Gu Jun heard these words in his drowsy state, but he already knew who was talking.
Before he opened his eyes, his lips grumbled, "But have you considered the fact that you're not a normal person to begin with …"
"You're right. Hmm? "
Gu Jun opened his eyes and the first thing that entered his sight was not Wu Siyu but the bearded Yu Chi. The large face above him quickly turned from shock to ecstasy. "You're awake! You're awake! Captain Gu, Captain Gu! Can you see me? Can you recognize me? "
The commotion attracted the attention of Uncle Dan and the rest of the medical staff. They surrounded Gu Jun's bed and started to inspect him with joy.
At that moment, Wu Shiyu poked his head out to glance at Gu Jun. "It's good that you're awake. Then it's my turn to sleep."
"Everyone, I'm fine. I'm in great shape." Gu Jun said as he accepted Uncle Dan's examination. He kept his eyes on his surroundings. This was an intensive care unit. It should be the medical building at the southern base of the Eastern State. In fact, he could even smell the fresh scent of a baby black goat's leg in the air.
He wasn't lying. He wasn't saying those words to comfort the bystanders. He was truly at full health.
After the Baptism of Light in the City of Dusk, it would be an exaggeration to say that he had been reborn, but regardless of whether it was his physical strength or mental state, they were all better than before.
Some of the symptoms of neurasthenia caused by long-term mental stress, such as tightness of the scalp and swelling of the temples, were also renewed. His nerve cells must have been somewhat repaired. He felt like he had returned to his youth before he prepared for the college entrance examination. His nerves had never been destroyed, but he felt like he had been reborn after being destroyed.
"No problem, no problem at all." After a round of inspection, Uncle Dan could see how strong Gu Jun was. He said with joy, "Ah Jun, you found something?"
"Yes, it's a lot." Gu Jun nodded and sat up. He looked at Yu Chi and the rest who were waiting for him. "We're going to be busy again."
The Abnormal Infant Disease was confirmed.
Gu Jun recorded down the information given by the City of Dusk. He did not leave out a single word or sentence. The information was sent to the various teams for analysis through the headquarters' command central to come up with the corresponding solution.
The first point could be clearly understood. There was another layer of seriousness, but it also allowed them to see the direction of solving the problem.
That was the reappearance of the channel between the Eastern State and the foreign world. The Special Mobile Force, investigators, and Zoogs were mobilized. More people and Zoogs rushed over from other places. They had to find this channel as soon as possible. Only then would they have the chance to find the baby black goat and cut off the connection with the abnormal infant.
Secondly, they had some clues about the transmission mechanism of the Abnormal Infant Disease.
"Do not let them witness the image of Shub Nicholas and her incarnation."
This passage was probably referring to the method of transmission. Those infected women might have seen or heard about the Black Goats of the Forest.
The medical team did some more random investigation. There were more than a thousand cases. The investigators hid their goal and used psychological methods to get the pregnant women to draw the image that they thought was the strangest. The result showed that all of them were able to draw Shub Nicholas.
Some were abstract lines that looked like goat horns; some were a patch of twisted flesh in the sky; some were tentacles with gaping maws …
This was not the only image that they thought was strange, but they all had this image.
For this image to be so easily drawn out from their subconscious, it undoubtedly meant that this power was still active and connected to their minds.
The team continued to investigate. Some of them had read about the giant sandstorm at Northern Mo Bei on the internet.
The disaster gave birth to many urban legends, 'The Forest of Flesh and Blood in the Sky' was one of them. At the time, many people at Northern Mo Bei had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Furthermore, it was hard to tell how much of the information was naturally shared by the public and how much was purposely spread by evil people.
There were some complete portraits of Shub-Niggurath on the Internet before, but they were quickly blocked and deleted.
However, the deletion was slower than the spread. Through this method, these cases were connected to the power of the Goddess of Dark Life.
However, the abnormal birth rate at Northern Mo Bei was not higher than other places. Perhaps this meant that the dark power had spread evenly across both Mysterium and Phecda.
'Difficult to avoid 'probably meant' difficult to prevent the spread of the pathogen '…
The transmission of the Abnormal Infant Disease was harder to control than Nightmare Illness because the pathogen of Nightmare Illness was a story with many elements. Even if one knew about one of the elements but did not know about Old Dog Uncle or the number that Old Dog Uncle could name, it would not be easy to be infected.
However, just like how Nyarlathotep was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, the image of Shub Nicholas had always existed in different cultures.
It did not have to be complete, but there would be bits and pieces, like the horns of a goat, the scary tentacles … or even the Tai Sui.
The team had done many analyses and hypotheses on the creature attached to the cave wall of the black goat cub. One of the hypotheses was that it was similar to the Tai Sui recorded in the ancient books. It had an endless shape and texture, and it would regenerate on its own after being cut, just like the leg of the goat.
These elements were all over the world. Images, images, images … they could not be completely controlled.
They could not tell the world not to come into contact with these images, that would be exposing the world's pregnant women to them.
The control could only be carried out in the dark to reduce the appearance of these images. They also informed the pregnant women to reduce their time online, watching videos, playing games, reading, and so on. This was because there was a rare wave of space radiation passing through Earth recently, and it was harmful to the pregnant women and the baby.
In the day that Gu Jun was unconscious, the two Earths had a new birth of more than 50,000 abnormal babies, and the total number was close to one million.
Before the channel was found and the problem was completely solved, the two worlds still had to hope that the medical technology that Gu Jun obtained from the mission reward could really alleviate the situation.
