Obscure, ancient, and mysterious.
Amidst the howling wind, there was something eerie about it.
This was the language that Xue Ba, Lou Xiaoning, and the rest heard from Gu Jun. He stood inside the black wind and repeated the same sentence over and over again.
However, they did not know that in the one hour that he had been fighting against the wind, Gu Jun had been immersed in the pain of the illusion.
He slowly suppressed the pain and peeled away the fog of confusion. He saw the revelation that had been looming for a long time become brighter and more vibrant.
He understood that in the multitude of universes, there were different rules. There were powers that belonged to the human civilization, and there were powers that belonged to the foreign civilization.
Even though he still had no idea what kind of power that was.
"Stop!" Gu Jun said in the foreign language. His voice was not loud, but it was firm. "Stop!" he repeated, facing the darkness at the end of the tunnel.
Regardless of whether the tunnel was a pile of rocks or a giant beast, he needed to communicate with it. There was no fear, no surprise, just a pure communication between two life forms. In fact, it was the joy of two different life forms meeting each other.
He told it that he did not like this and that it should not be like this.
"Stop!" Gu Jun repeated. "Stop."
Xue Ba and the rest were shocked to see that the black wind seemed to understand Gu Jun's command. It slowly slowed down until it disappeared completely.
Suddenly, the tunnel that was lined with layers of boulders returned to silence. The only sound that could be heard was their heavy breathing and the sound of things falling to the ground.
The stone walls around them were still smooth and clean. The black wind did not leave any trace behind, like it was never there in the first place.
However, the group knew that was not an illusion. When they turned to look at Gu Jun's tall figure hidden in the half-darkness, they were all dumbfounded …
Who was he? Was that witchcraft? Was that the power of the Spirit Child from Lai Sheng Company?
With a whoosh, Lou Xiaoning picked up a Type-95 automatic rifle from the ground and aimed it at Gu Jun. Her right index finger was placed lightly on the trigger.
"Kid, don't move." Her mature face was very serious. "Before you explain it clearly, you are not allowed to say a single word of that language, not even silently."
"Sigh …" Uncle Dan gasped instinctively. He waved his hands nervously. "No, no, no, Miss Lou, please calm down. It was Ah Jun who stopped the strange wind!"
"Uncle Dan, I am not crazy." Lou Xiaoning stared at Gu Jun and purposely made her tone harsh. "Did you not see? Was he the one who made the stone explode? Was he the one who made the wind stop? Was he the one who made the wind come? What was his purpose? If he knows witchcraft, we won't be able to fight back if we don't have guns. "
Of course, she wasn't crazy. She just seized this moment to observe Gu Jun before he settled down. Someone had to do this kind of dirty work.
When a person was suspected of wrongdoing after saving someone's life, there would be anger, confusion, helplessness, and displeasure. If Gu Jun's first reaction was to remain calm, without a trace of displeasure … it did not mean that there was something wrong with him, but he needed to be treated more cautiously.
Even if Gu Jun was displeased, under these circumstances, he needed to be reevaluated.
One should not forget the lesson that the Action Department had learned a few days ago. 444 of their colleagues had died. As for Gu Jun, he was once a Spirit Child.
If Gu Jun was a bad person, she did not think that Gu Jun would simply kill them, or else he could have stopped the wind. The enemy's unknown purpose was more worrying.
"Everyone, calm down!" Lin Mo, who was on the stretcher, said hurriedly, "We can talk this out. Ah Jun just saved my life once. "
"Calm down!" Xue Ba shouted as well. He raised his hand to stop Yang Henan and Zhou Yi from getting involved. As an old partner, Xue Ba understood Lou Xiaoning's thoughts and purpose, but as the leader, he had to calm the other members and Gu Jun. "Xiao Ning, you're too nervous! Ah Jun, you have to explain what happened. "
Blushing, Xue Ba sighed and persuaded, "Ah Jun, Xiaoning doesn't care about people. If I was the one who stopped that gust of wind, she would've pointed her gun at me. Try your best to explain. We are an exploration team that specializes in investigating abnormal energy. Even if you're a ghost, we can accept it. "
"Everyone …" Gu Jun was not surprised by their reaction.
Lou Xiaoning looked like a big, burly woman, and Xue Ba looked like a muscular man, but in reality, both of them were very cautious and smart.
However, he was naturally displeased. He frowned because they were close comrades earlier. This kind of confrontation, even if it was just a test, was displeasing.
"The wind earlier awakened some of my hidden memories, and I have a deeper understanding of the foreign language."
This was the truth, so when Gu Jun spoke, his expression and tone were open. "This language can be combined with other life forces to form a new power. I have no idea whether it will work in our world or not, but in this strange space, it is useful. "
Confusion and contemplation crossed the group's face. Xue Ba frowned and asked, "You mean, the foreign language can be used as a spell?"
"According to our civilization's standard, it is a spell." Gu Jun was also trying to sort out his new thoughts.
"It is different from our language. This language is alive, and it can use the power of other life forces. That was the case with the giant rock with the foreign language. The line of foreign language on the rock was not a normal foreign language but a spell that contained the rock's life force. Therefore, it cannot be photographed or drawn. A lifeless copy will only rot and distort. In fact, you can't even memorize it because you haven't experienced the power of the spell, so you won't be able to remember it. "
The group pondered. Even if there was witchcraft … it had to be some kind of physics unknown to mankind.
"You mean, the rock and the stone path are all alive?" Xue Ba asked.
"In a way," Gu Jun nodded. "Don't think of them as human beings, but everything in the world is alive."
"Kid, did you cast the spell to stop the wind?" Lou Xiaoning still did not let down her guard.
"I did not. That was not a spell. I was just saying 'stop'," Gu Jun answered honestly. "I still think I triggered the mechanism of the spell. The triggering condition seems to be that one has to understand the vitality of the language and be able to sense the life force of the object combined with the spell. Then, one has to recite the spell. Under certain circumstances, it works as well. Perhaps it is because of the brain waves. "
Many members were confused, but Xue Ba understood what he was getting at. "You mean, there are three conditions. One, one has to be able to communicate with the foreign language; two, one has to be able to communicate with the source of the spell; and three, one has to be able to recite the spell. In this way, you successfully triggered the incantation mechanism that was originally set up there. "
"Yes!" Gu Jun's eyes lit up as he nodded. Captain Xue did have a bookworm side to him. He was able to summarize what Gu Jun was trying to say.
This made Gu Jun's mind much clearer.
The unique advantage of the foreign language was that it could use other life forces to form spells and spells.
This was probably something that the human language on Earth did not possess.
Perhaps this was how the foreign civilization managed to develop a high level of medical knowledge despite their backward technological level.
"Guys, I have no idea what that mechanism is. Computer waves? Sound waves? " Gu Jun shook his head. "I only managed to trigger the mechanism. Any person with high spirituality and knowledge of the foreign language could do the same. I have no idea how to create and use the incantations. "
Uncle Dan, Lin Mo, and the rest listened to what Gu Jun said. Even though they were used to dealing with abnormal energy and were inclined to trust him, they still felt that this was very unrealistic.
However, in reality, they had seen it twice.
Lou Xiaoning was still aiming the gun at Gu Jun. Xue Ba was deep in thought.
