When Gu Jun finished reading the three pages, the sky was already dark. The illusion of the church that the diary triggered appeared before his eyes …
The people, the headless bodies, and the skeletons were all kneeling on the ground, worshipping the ceiling of the church.
Was it in this very church that Rebdi Payani was reunited with his family, his lovers, and his friends?
But the presence above the church … was definitely not the Goddess of Life …
"May you all rest in peace." Gu Jun mumbled to himself. As he felt sorry for them, he arranged the new information. "This is another civilization, perhaps an ancient civilization from Earth, or a civilization from another planet or dimension."
Before this, Gu Jun leaned toward the latter, but now he felt like the former was a possibility as well.
Because this civilization also had a year of twelve months, and each month appeared to be thirty days long. This was the result of the same climate change on the planet.
Furthermore, the human body structure and functions of the foreign people should be similar to homo sapiens, or perhaps even the same? Otherwise, their medicine would not be effective on him. Not only him, it was effective on other human tumors as well. This was confirmed by the naked mice used in the foreign medicine experiment.
The system mission reward was' human brainstem tumor-targeting drug ', and the host's information categorized him as' human - homo sapiens'.
With these two points in mind, Gu Jun had a new idea. "This medicine is effective on all 'human' creatures. Regardless of whether the foreign people are homo sapiens or not, they are all human beings. Oh right … there is also 'Carlott College'. "
According to the diary, Carlott College was the most prestigious medical school in that country.
The reward for difficult missions would occasionally be medical instruments like 'Carlop Brand scalpel' or 'Carlop Brand dissecting scissors'. These two Carlop were probably the same thing, and the scalpel and scissors were products of that civilization as well.
However, there was one thing that confused Gu Jun.
First, from the fact that Payani and Linda maintained contact through 'letters', it could be deduced that this civilization did not have things like phones, mobile phones, or internet. They had not yet reached the information technology revolution. Otherwise, with the relationship between the two of them, not to mention talking on the phone every day, they would also send WeChat messages, unless "Letters" was the name of an app.
This civilization probably hadn't reached the electrical revolution yet, but they had some "cold machines."
Furthermore, it was the "Empire". Payani had written that Rita was not of noble birth. She was the daughter of a blacksmith. It seemed that there was still a strong sense of feudal class consciousness.
Judging from Payani's constant mention of the Life Goddess, it was likely a god worshiped by this empire. There was also the "messenger of the goddess" and the "profound meaning of life" that he mentioned. Religion occupied a very important position in this civilization.
This was what puzzled Gu Jun. Using the development of homo sapiens as a reference, it was impossible for such a civilization to have advanced medical technology, but …
They already have a targeted drug for medulloblastoma! The homo sapiens could only wait for death.
"This civilization is behind us in some aspects … but in some aspects, such as medicine, they may be much more advanced than us."
Gu Jun repeatedly flipped through the three pages of the diary as he pondered.
Was it due to their religious belief that this civilization developed a different technology tree?
They worshiped medicine the most. They kept researching medicine and perfecting the technology in this field. From the anatomical map and the information about viruses and parasites in the diary, they had mastered the modern medicine of homo sapiens. Even cancer was no longer a problem for them.
"I wonder how far the medical technology of the foreign civilization has progressed, and how did they develop it?"
As a medical student, Gu Jun knew that the development of modern medicine could not be separated from those high-precision instruments. Without a microscope, how were they supposed to observe bacteria? And the development of these instruments could not be separated from the support of technology. What was the 'technology' of the foreign civilization?
"Wait a minute …" It suddenly occurred to him that there was a need for comparison.
He had been thinking about what the foreign civilization did not have, but he had not considered what the homo sapiens did not have.
The reason the homo sapiens were able to develop like this was because 'technology is the number one productive force'. It was not that the homo sapiens wanted to develop like this from the beginning, but it was because of the emergence of steam, electricity, and information technology.
Why did these technologies not emerge victorious in the foreign civilization? What was the technology that emerged victorious? Could it still be magic?
Magic? Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he leaped into the air …
After witnessing the power of the system, he did not doubt the existence of other strange forces in this world.
There was a truth behind all the strange things, but humans could not even understand what was going on with the double-slit experiment, so how could they talk about the nature of the universe?
"Could this be the thing that the Afterlife Cult is searching for?"
When Gu Jun reached this point, he could not help but pace around the balcony. He felt there was something indescribable in the darkness of the night, something that had existed since time immemorial.
Was the Afterlife Cult trying to obtain the knowledge and technology that the homo sapiens did not have?
The cure for cancer or the method to prolong life, were they not things that people would go crazy over?
"Could it be the medical technology of the foreign civilization that my mother is so passionate about?" Gu Jun grumbled. His mother's passionate gaze when she looked at the foreign civilization still stung him …
But now that he thought about it, he felt much better. If it was related to deciphering those advanced technologies, he would also be passionate about it.
"Perhaps the Afterlife Cult came into contact with or even possessed some ancient books in the foreign language, but they could not understand them at all, and they had no way of deciphering them. Then … the Afterlife Cult started some research. My parents were involved in it, and it led to my understanding of the foreign language … I had to scribble the names of the objects on the blueprints to decipher them … "
Gu Jun organized and speculated on these clues. "I appear to be some kind of medium between the two civilizations, responsible for bringing the things of the foreign civilization over …"
Medium? A tool to store and transmit information.
"Medium, huh." Gu Jun took a long, deep breath. He connected the dots, but his heart was even more confused.
It was the foreign language when he was an infant, and now it was this system. Was the system not an even more powerful medium?
The blueprints and the diary were all information, but the medicine and the equipment were physical objects.
"Hands of Dexterity …" Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Could these 'abilities' be the 'magic' of the foreign civilization?
Or were they the 'medical skills' that Carlop's medical students studied?
It was because of these magical skills that made up for their lack of technology. These skills and abilities were even more useful in the medical field than homo sapiens' technology …
"Am I some kind of medium, or the afterlife of some foreign civilization?" Gu Jun shook his head self-deprecatingly. "Compared to Lenton, I am more like Payani, other than the fact that I'm a playboy."
He didn't think too much about it. It was fine if he thought about it. Even if he did, he could not figure it out. This kind of mysticism was completely beyond his knowledge.
He should focus on the medium. What did the Afterlife Cult do to make him become like this?
And did the Afterlife Cult know that they had succeeded? Why did they give him freedom all these years instead of locking him up in a dark room and giving him 5 million to spend?
How did the Afterlife Cult come into contact with the foreign civilization? What did they already possess?
How much did Phecda know about all this?
And that monster … what was its origin? What kind of power made them appear on Earth?
Were they related to the 'hemoptysis'? Would hemoptysis one day … descend and ravage the homo sapiens?
In comparison, the Banyan Malformation Disease that could be cured by amputation was like a child's cold and fever.
The foreign civilization that was so advanced in medical science had been destroyed by hemoptysis. If hemoptysis descended on this world, would it be the end of the world?
The cold wind blew, and Gu Jun's heart chilled. There were too many new questions roiling in his mind.
"I need to find a way to trigger the illusion in that black and white picture. I need more information to solve these mysteries."
