Thump, thump, thump.
A deep throbbing sound came. Gu Jun walked forward step by step. The distance between him and the amniotic wall shortened until it was less than 10 metres away.
The height of the amniotic wall was unknown and its thickness could not be measured. From a closer look, it looked like a thin layer that would break with a single poke but it also felt like there was nothing behind it. Even if the amniotic wall was broken, there was no outside world.
When he was less than 5 metres away, Gu Jun stopped moving. An indescribable smell assaulted his nostrils. It was not a stench or blood.
"Doctor Gu, how is it?" Li Liangbin asked from behind. Wang Yong supported Cao Yicong who was getting more and more uncomfortable.
"That might be the dividing line …" Gu Jun said darkly. He was still trying to feel and think.
Outside the amniotic wall was probably Earth but the dividing line had been twisted. It was different from the two mutated areas at Mo Bei.
Furthermore, the Locust Sickness at Mo Bei was directly related to Nyarlathotep but what he was seeing now was directly related to Shub-Niggurath's power.
The two were different and the way the boundary was twisted would not be the same.
Gu Jun suddenly noticed something poking out from the swamp next to the amniotic wall. It appeared to be a camera, a 360-degree panoramic camera of the driverless car. Gu Jun took a closer look. The camera was scattered, there was no sunken driverless car.
But there should have been a driverless car, sent by Phecda …
He stared at the camera and his head started to throb. Something was roiling inside him.
The more he looked at it, the more it felt like he was connected to the camera. The images that flooded his mind were the images taken when it crossed the boundary.
"Ah …" Gu Jun's headache intensified. The interweaving images were like ropes strangling him.
He had transmigrated many times, from the real world to Dreamlands, from this world to the other world and even to the world of the King in Yellow. But none of his previous transmigrations were like this. Everything seemed to be distorted. Black fog, black liquid, black flesh and blood …
It wasn't just flesh and blood. As the driverless car moved through the air, every component and every molecule was also changing. Everything had a life of its own.
Two different worlds, two different worlds, two different powers.
Intrusion, change, one-way, deformity, distortion …
Gu Jun suddenly took a deep breath, as if he had plunged his head into an ice bucket. He raised his head again, his face covered in cold sweat, his heart anxious.
This was not a passage in the traditional sense. It was a return to the womb at the beginning of life, another womb.
Now that the driverless car had entered, the drones should have entered as well. There were other detection methods as well. Phecda would try them one by one, and it would fail one by one without any results. In the end, the last option would be activated, because Phecda was never short of warriors.
Especially in the face of a disaster that was out of control. Anomalous Infant Disease, Alien Hand Disease, murder cases, mutated areas …
Naturally, there would be teams from Phecda, Mysterium, and GOA trying to cross the border to explore, but without a key or a pass, they would suffer the same fate as the driverless cars. When they crossed the border, they would be torn into pieces, turned into a pile of twisted objects.
Gu Jun looked around at the swamp again. Was this rotten mud actually flesh and blood in the past?
He could not let that kind of sacrifice go to waste …
Several faces crossed his mind. Dirty-minded Yu, Yu Chi and Ah Mei. As a child, she was probably the first to be sent.
But if it was Deng Ximei … Gu Jun thought about it, Ah Mei might be able to cross the border, but the others …
They lacked the connection to the foreign world, both physically and mentally. Even with Deng Ximei in the group, she might not be strong enough. She might be able to reduce the resistance, but it was still not enough. Furthermore, they would either die or be injured, and they would not be able to move at all.
"We need to find a way to notify the outside world." Gu Jun told Cao Yicong and the rest, "We can't just cross the border like that. This time is different from last time."
He shared his perception and judgment with them.
Cao Yicong and Li Liangbin still did not understand the situation but from Gu Jun's tone, they understood the severity and urgency of the situation.
Even during the previous surgery, Gu Jun was able to maintain an abnormal calm throughout the entire process.
"Doctor Gu, what do you plan to do?" Li Liangbin asked, "Can they hear us if we shout from here?"
"I'm afraid not …" Gu Jun did consider that possibility. "But it's worth a try." He could not tell what would work but it was worth a try. He shouted at the amniotic membrane but all he got in return was silence and the faint sound of the amniotic membrane pulsating.
He did not expect this to work and similarly, he did not expect the phone that he took out from his pocket to recover its signal.
However, he had another idea. Perhaps he could really communicate through the two worlds.
It was a telepathic conversation with Wu Shiyu.
"You guys stand guard, I'll try something." Gu Jun told the three investigators. This time he did not explain too much. He turned to face the glowing amniotic membrane wall and closed his eyes. He allowed his mind to enter a special state. He had been practicing this every day for the past few days.
Dirty-minded Yu, be smarter …
"Dirty-minded Yu."
Gu Jun called internally. He thought about Wu Shiyu's face, her voice and the feeling of being with her.
If this was before, they would have connected. Even when Wu Shiyu was asleep, she would respond with an "Oh." Gu Jun had tried this before.
Now there was no response. It felt like he had regressed from the 5G era to the era of dial-up internet. It was blurry, slow, blocked, and uncertain …
He could only try. Gu Jun continued to focus on Dirty-minded Yu. He said slowly in his heart, "Listen, the alley leads to the Palace of Black Goat. The nature of the boundary is different from before. Do not enter it directly. Wearing the protective gear won't help. You'll need a key, a key that has a connection to the foreign world."
He paused. He did not tell them not to try because he could not guarantee that the four of them could handle it.
There were external considerations and difficulties outside. When the time was right, he had to give it a try.
He also did not say what they would bring when they tried to come in, because they would certainly bring as many supplies as they could — food, weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies for field explorations — in this regard, he would also take into account the supplies needed for amputations.
For now, he needed to simplify his message so that Dirty-minded Yu would be able to understand it better. That way, Dirty-minded Yu would not be able to understand him.
"Key, a key that has a connection to the foreign world. Do not enter without a key …"
