"Doctor Gu, you sure are imaginative."
"Doctor Gu, you sure are imaginative."
The thousands of Cao Yicong before the chilling forest said so at the same time. Their facial muscles were twitching uncontrollably.
Gu Jun studied them and tried to figure out a way to deal with them. He was holding a pistol. He checked that he still had 15 9mm bullets. Even if he could hit every shot, he would not be able to kill all of them. Furthermore, they could regenerate and split into more …
In terms of spells, Gu Jun's mental power was limited. Furthermore, this was the territory of the Black Mountain Goats. Spells were not going to be an easy fight.
However, they did not appear to be trying to harm his physical body or else they would have charged at him and he would have no choice but to turn and run.
For some unknown reason, they still wanted to break his will and pull him into the darkness.
"Doctor Gu." Suddenly, the Cao Yicong retreated back into the forest. "You will see yourself …"
Gu Jun raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched them retreat into the forest. They melted into the shadows of the trees. The cold wind blew past, and they disappeared without a trace.
Silence returned to the swamp and the forest like everything that happened earlier was just an illusion.
He looked around and noticed that Li Liangbin's body had disappeared from the bushes. Returning to the tree, the two dissected bodies with their right upper limbs had also disappeared. The blood stains that were left behind could not be discerned. Gu Jun could not tell if they were real or just an illusion.
The brown forest was dead silent.
He did not plan to walk into the forest. According to Dirty-minded Yu, a backup team had crossed the boundary.
If they came in through the Amniotic Wall, he would have to follow the path back …
But Gu Jun stared at the endless swamp. He had no idea where the path back was. In fact, whether there was a path back or not was a problem.
"I've lost some of my memory. Maybe it's because of the impact of some abnormal energy here …"
Gu Jun was still trying to figure out what to do when the wind picked up. It caused the trees to sway and the swamp to churn. The sound of the wind, the rustling of the trees, the churning of the swamp, poured into his ears. His head was throbbing rapidly, and a doubt became clear. These were the moments of amnesia.
"If I don't hold on, I might wake up in another part of this area and face another attack …"
A powerful force was pulling at him, but he was not unfamiliar with this feeling.
For a moment, Gu Jun wasn't sure if what happened just now was the first impact.
Chen Xing swung his machete down on the bald old man's face … The vines in the forest waved around like tentacles, dragging Cao Yicong away … and hanging Li Liangbin and Wang Yong on a tree …
"My spiritual power is being depleted, and the shadows in my memory are increasing. They are trying to break me …"
Gu Jun gritted his teeth and let out a hoarse roar. No matter how bad his headache was, he still tried his best to resist the huge impact.
Dirty-minded Yu had said that the backup team had arrived, so they must have encountered some danger.
The calamity in the outside world had yet to subside, and there were many things that could not be left as they were …
'I can't fall, I can't fall today!'
At that moment, the power of City of Dusk in his mind was heating up, nourishing his mind. Gu Jun gripped the Carlop scalpel in his right hand and recited the motto of City of Dusk's foundation, "Turn your heart to the light, and never despair."
The ferocious wind turned the whole world upside down.
The dark clouds in the sky blurred, the decaying forest twisted, and a black storm started to form in the swamp.
Gu Jun stood on the muddy ground, but that was only enough to maintain his consciousness. He was unable to stop the force from twisting the space beneath his feet. His whole body spun along with the ground, and he was now on the other side of the ground.
The scene before him was completely different.
It was not rotten soil, and there were no tree roots.
'What is this place …'
The ground was a mixture of brownish yellow and dark red. Gu Jun felt like he was standing on solid ground, but at the same time, he felt liquid flowing under his feet. The trees in the forest seemed to have morphed into something else entirely. Large pipes filled the space around him, they crisscrossed and intersected in an orderly fashion.
The pipes were made from a transparent membrane, and Gu Jun could see what was inside. Black liquid flowed through them.
Gu Jun frowned. He saw a pipe on his left, and inside it, there were human upper limbs flowing with the transparent liquid. They looked like goods on a conveyor belt.
On his right, in another tube, there were many human lower limbs. Each of them was similar in size, and they were the legs of a tall man.
However, there were more than two pipes that transported the limbs. Gu Jun could not see them all, but he could see that the limbs inside each pipe were different.
Some of the pipes had thin upper limbs, they had no muscles, and their joints were bent and deformed.
Some of the pipes had fat lower limbs. They were filled with fat, and the joints of the knees were too heavy to bear.
In some of the tubes, there were fingers on the upper limbs, some with four fingers, and some with five fingers …
But there were also pipes where the fingers were long and beautiful.
'This place …' Gu Jun's mind was hit by another shock. Uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, amniotic fluid … Black Goat uterus, pipes …
It was not just the limbs. He could see more pipes clearly. Various parts of the human body — the abdomen, chest, neck, head, various organ tissues, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys … There was everything, and they were in different shapes. Some of the pipes were filled with blood, type A, type B, type AB …
These pipes extended in all directions, intertwined with each other, and connected at a certain location, just like the blood vessels in the venous network.
Gu Jun looked around, but he could not see the direction or the end.
Vaguely, the sound of a baby crying came from ahead. He carefully followed the sound, and the pistol and scalpel in his hands never relaxed.
In front of him was the intersection of many pipes. They converged into an even larger main pipe. The bodies, limbs, organs, and blood that were transported by the main pipe along with the amniotic fluid merged together to form human bodies. These bodies continued to be transported by the amniotic fluid toward the exit of the main pipe, and they gradually shrank into babies.
The crying came from the babies who disappeared into the black hole at the exit of the main pipe. Some of them were physically strong, and some were born with defects.
Gu Jun watched silently, and his face showed no expression.
