For these lowly worms, death was a kind of ascension because it was their only chance to glimpse the truth.
After Gu Jun answered Uncle Dan, he stood where he was, and the chill on his face intensified.
"Ah Jun?" Uncle Dan could see that something was wrong with Gu Jun, and he cursed internally. He seemed to have run into some kind of abnormal energy. "Have you lost your mind? Wake up! "
Be it Xue Ba or Lin Mo, who was leaning against the wall, everyone could see that Gu Jun's eyes were losing their liveliness …
At that moment, Gu Jun's soul was like the night breeze, drifting on the ground. It came from nowhere and returned to nowhere. Was it the abyss of the ocean or the stone path of this ancient city? He said hoarsely, "Uncle Dan, I've not done this kind of surgery before. I don't understand …"
"It's okay, just do it. You know the structure of the eye, so you can do it." Uncle Dan called him. "There's no need to disinfect. Put on the gloves and do it now!"
"Uncle Dan …" Gu Jun's eyes flickered. Part of his mind was frozen, and the other part wanted to move, but his body refused to listen to him.
"What are you waiting for?!" Uncle Dan scolded. Whether the kid had lost his soul or was a traitor, he had to pull him over now. "Time is the key to a rescue operation. Don't you understand that? Gu Jun, wake up! Saving lives is more important. You are a doctor! "
Those who wanted to say something were stopped by Xue Ba. Instinct told Xue Ba that only Uncle Dan could persuade Gu Jun.
Of course, Gu Jun did not mean Uncle Dan any harm. Over the past few days, he had been under Uncle Dan's care. He had listened to many jokes and learned many things …
Uncle Dan's scolding caused his heart to twitch. It felt like an icehouse had been set on fire, but the strange pain brought a sense of clarity.
'Why, why did I say 'I don't understand' earlier? '
Gu Jun's head throbbed with pain. Was this revenge on Lou Xiaoning? Was it a pleasure to see her like this and hear everyone's pleading?
Just because they had reason to suspect him, he was going to watch them die, and even … toy with them?
That whisper, this stone path … seemed to be calling out to his evil side, tempting him to fall into darkness …
"So be it!" Uncle Dan knew there was no time to waste. "Huo Huo, use the blepharoplasty device!" There was a blepharoplasty device inside the medic box because eye injuries were common among Special Mobile Force members. Once Uncle Dan got the small iron hook, he turned to Lou Xiaoning. He was going to install the blepharoplasty device on her right eye.
Uncle Dan's face paled. His hands were shaking so badly that he could barely keep up the act. "Ah …"
Xue Ba hurried forward to pull Uncle Dan away. "This is it, do not drag yourself into this!" His words were heavier than the stone steps. But Uncle Dan refused to leave. He insisted, "Yes, as long as we remove this eyeball, we can save it …"
Directly digging out the eyeball to dig out a complete bead was just a technique used in movies and television. The reality was that the eyeball was tightly protected by the eye appendages. It was connected to six extraocular muscles. If they poked around, it would only make a mess. For example, the eyeball would dangle out from the muscles, or half of it would rot inside.
But there was no other way. Xue Ba pushed Uncle Dan away and yelled angrily, "Huo Huo, give me the scalpel. I will remove it!"
Seeing Uncle Dan in pain and the chaos, the ripple of clarity in Gu Jun's mind grew. His old consciousness was surging …
Based on human standards, this was definitely not a holy place.
It had a strange power … It was creating separation, panic, doubt, estrangement, fear … It was creating evil.
It was planning … If everything that had happened since the sixteen of them entered the banyan tree hole had been a plan …
The stone with the spell, the subterrain giant worm, the wind, the red door … Were they all part of the plan?
Along the way, the group had discussed the purpose of this stone path many times … Was it to drag him into the darkness?
"Mr. Gu, we know you better than you know yourself."
The incantation on the stone was black.
The life force of the stone path was also black.
His own consciousness was flickering, and Gu Jun suddenly understood. A boiling anger roared in his heart. He gritted his teeth and ordered the whispers that crawled into his ears, Shut up! I'm going to save Lou Xiaoning's life. I'm a doctor. "
The fire in his heart burned, and at the same time, it suppressed the unknown that was about to break out of its shell …
This was not Rikers, and the place behind the red door was not Lenton's basement.
Even if it was, so what? This was a trap.
Some people, some forces with unknown goals wanted to erase his soul! They wanted the Son of Misfortune to descend.
"Captain Xue, wait … Let me do the surgery."
Gu Jun's voice suddenly rang out. He had recovered most of his normal tone, the human emotion.
"Hmm?" Xue Ba's hand that was about to cut into the eyeball stopped. His forehead was covered in sweat from the influence of the abnormal force.
Xue Ba was confused, and so was the rest. Gu Jun appeared to have returned to normal. Uncle Dan was overjoyed. "Quick, wash your hands and put on the gloves!"
"Coming." Gu Jun poured some mineral water to wash his hands as fast as he could. He put on the mask, mask, and gloves. He rushed over to grab the blepharoplasty and placed it on Lou Xiaoning's bulging right eye. He stared directly into the eye. He was not completely unaffected, but he could endure it …
"Toothed forceps and scissors!" Uncle Dan took over the role of scrub nurse. As he passed two tools to Gu Jun, he said, "Lift up the bulbar conjunctiva near the cornea and make a small incision. Extend the scissors from the incision to below the conjunctiva and use the method of circling around the cornea to cut open the bulbar conjunctiva!"
Gu Jun put on the gloves and accepted the surgical instruments. A sense of familiarity washed over him. It made him focus instantly. No one whispered into his ear could compete with Uncle Dan's command.
The four members were responsible for operating the surgical lamp, but none of them dared to look directly at the surgical site. The others could only look at Gu Jun's shadow. Gu Jun listened to Uncle Dan's instructions. First, he cut open the bulbar conjunctiva, separated the subconjunctiva, and then cut the extraocular muscles …
These tissues were necrotic. Thankfully, they were not twisted like the patients with Malformed Banyan Disease. Lou Xiaoning did not struggle or scream, she merely made that strange noise.
Therefore, even though this was the first time Gu Jun was performing an eyeball removal surgery, every step of the operation was not difficult. After cutting the optic nerve, he used a pair of scissors to pluck out the bloodshot eyeball that was filled with fear. The whole eyeball looked exactly like how one would gouge out an eye in a movie.
"Ah, is it done?" Uncle Dan asked in a hurry. The rest could feel the shadow that loomed over the stone path dissipating.
"It's done." Gu Jun then tossed the strange eyeball to the ground and stomped on it. Instantly, there seemed to be a thud …
The group was stunned. But the shadow seemed to have been shattered, and their surroundings became clearer.
No matter who you are, I am not the same as you. I have never been, not since I was born. '
Gu Jun said internally.
