Chapter 100: Origin
Xue Ba handed the things wrapped in clean gauze in his hand to Gu Jun, "That's it, five pieces of paper that seem to be parchment, with different texts on them." β
Gu Jun took it and carefully untied the gauze, and suddenly saw a small stack of yellowish ancient paper inside.
This is the paper of the otherworld, and the material of Langton's atlas and Peyani's diary is like this, like parchment, but not necessarily.
His thumb rubbed lightly on the paper, and there was a strange touch, as if he had touched something familiar for a long time, just like when he held Carlopp's scalpel, something from a different world. The scalpel had been left in the rubble, but had now been found and placed back in the team's medical kit.
At that time, only Xue Ba in the whole team could still notice that he was holding the scalpel in his hand when he cast the spell.
Gu Jun explained that it was because of it that he triggered some new implicit memories, and he broke free from the spell confinement.
"Look at what's written on it?" Xue Ba asked, "If you feel unwell in your body, stop immediately." Otherwise, let Uncle Dan see it, and he will talk about me again. Xue Ba was a little helpless, not because he didn't consider Gu Jun's safety, but because he couldn't find an exit, the whole team had to sacrifice.
"Are they spells?" Lin Mo next to him was eagerly looking forward to it again, and he was really eager to understand this field.
The others were still cleaning up the battlefield, and Lou Xiaoning, who was still under surveillance, could only watch Uncle Dan and Zhang Huo's dissection over there depressedly.
"It shouldn't be......" Gu Jun felt that it was not after a cursory glance at the content of the first page, "It seems to be information about the banyan tree." β
The paper was extremely old, complete but mushy in writing, apparently not written by the people of the Afterlife, but somehow fell into their hands.
Gu Jun now has more than 1,500 foreign words, enough to read the content on the paper, and he reads them softly in Chinese while reading them carefully.
Written on the paper are scattered sentences, like a travelogue caprice. Sentences don't seem to be connected to each other, but they are talking about the same thing. There is a sense of confusion and arrogance in the handwriting, and the person who wrote these words must be very old.
[There are only banyan trees and stones in this city, especially the one in the center of the city. γ
Banyan tree, this is naturally a translation, Gu Jun felt that the word should be translated like this, because it refers to this kind of giant tree with twisted branches around the altar.
After hearing this first sentence, Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder: "This city refers to the high-walled space?" The banyan tree in the center of the city refers to the dead wood? β
"I'm afraid so." Gu Jun nodded thoughtfully. Xue Ba reprimanded Lin Mo: "Don't interrupt yet, let Ah Jun speak." Gu Jun continued to think lightly.
[The stone path was full of blood, and it didn't finish for four days and four nights.
Do trees cough? Do trees have blood?
I saw that in the place where the goddess of life gave birth to life, the piled up corpses merged into a new life.
The altar was in ruins, and the people who escaped first and blocked it did not escape death.
There are many famous Carlop House personalities who have held coming-of-age ceremonies here. Hawk City has always been a place of medical talent. γ
"Carlop Academy?" This time, it was Xue Ba who interrupted himself, because he remembered another thing, "Didn't you say that scalpel was marked with Carlopp?" β
"It should be the same meaning......" Gu Jun frowned, the tone of the paper looking at the disaster did not seem to be the slightest bit sad and regretful, the more he read a sentence, the more ominous a sense of foreboding felt in his heart.
[Hawk City is the most famous place for medicine in addition to the national capital. Everyone says that the goddess of life is under the earth here.
The stones of Hawke City are always valued, and the banyan trees are always looked down upon.
Why can't people be like the banyan tree?
How about a disease related to the banyan tree, like the new life formed by that pile of corpses? There's magnificence in there.
It must be fun to create a disease here.
A new form of life.
Will it be painful? Life is born without suffering. γ
Reading this softly, Gu Jun stopped, his face turned a little pale, "Create a disease."
Xue Ba's muscles bulged, Lin Mo helped his glasses, and the faces of both of them sank, is it a ficus disease, is this disease artificially created......
Creating diseases is not a strange thing, and in the history of warfare of Earth civilization, there have been records of plagues inflicted on enemies in both the East and the West in ancient times.
In modern times, there is also the concept of biochemical virus warfare.
It's just that...... How can such a strange disease be created?
But Gu Jun had already been mentally prepared, because he had seen the illusion of sacrificing to the banyan tree, and he was nervous about something in his heart, and continued to watch......
[If the stale does not pass, the new will not come.]
Viruses need to cause mutations, and change can bring vitality.
There are many large banyan trees around the altar, they have existed for thousands of years, and it is time for a little change.
They say that disease is bad. Ignorant and inferior thoughts.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, if we do not accept the disease, how can we explore the mystery of life?
It's only fair that humans can grow by devouring other lives, and that other lives can also grow by devouring humans. γ
Gu Jun read this sentence, his back felt a little cold, and there was always a sense of familiarity in these words......
What made him even more dazed was that it seemed that from a certain point of view, there was a truth to these words.
Now, such a thing is very simple to me.
This is my disease, and I want to sit in the banyan tree and admire.
And he removed all their limbs and put in the branches and leaves of the banyan tree.
This disease is so good.
These banyan trees can allow different worlds to see the same light.
The virus has been laid, and the disease brings suffering, but only pain can create, and only destruction can be reborn.
I created the light. γ
"......" Gu Jun looked at the name of the place where the fourth page of the paper was signed, his face became even worse, and he sank, but in fact, he should have thought of this a long time ago.
The people of the Afterlife offered sacrifices to the banyan tree and put him in the cave of the banyan tree in order to call on the demons......
Gu Jun pressed his aching head, remembering that when he first saw the alien banyan tree in the gymnasium, he felt a strange beauty...... He saw some elaborate designs, a species that could become an ecosystem in its own right, a grandeur, a tower of Babel built on ruins......
"Ah Jun? Ah Jun? Xue Ba saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" Lin Mo hurriedly said: "Captain, call Uncle Dan quickly." β
Gu Jun looked at the gloomy and twisted giant trees around him, and only felt a blank of ashes.
He looked at the name on the paper again:
γSon of Doomγ
