Chapter 125: Food
The tiny storage tank was filled with formalin, and a pile of tattered pieces of human remains soaked inside.
This is a typical body that died after falling from a building, and the story of the falling should be quite high, and the body is already completely dismembered, just barely pieced together into a human body. It seemed to hit the ground with his head, and his skull was shattered and twisted, pulling at the shape only by the already highly shrunken flesh.
Due to the fact that the time of death was still not long and the treatment was timely, the body was not very decomposed, except for the rotten belly and some swelling, everything else was fresh.
This freshness also makes the corpses even more terrifying......
Two vaguely recognizable eyeballs floated above the skull, giving an indescribable chill.
"Hmm......" Although Cai Zixuan had just come out of the dissection room before coming here, he was still shocked by his vision when he looked at this corpse.
Sun Yuheng and Liu Hong also knew that they had dissected relatively intact bodies before, and the hundreds of corpses in this storage room may have been in this kind of sparse and mutilated state......
Blank, still blank. Gu Jun looked at it with a heavy face, but there was a faint light surging in front of him, which was touching the illusion of this blank......
"Gu Jun, how is it?" Wang Ruoxiang frowned and asked, at this time, she also felt that this body was a little inappropriate, but she couldn't figure it out.
"Come on, keep going." Gu Jun put down the cover in his hand with her, walked to the storage tank next to him, and then lifted the cover to open it, and there was a pile of fuzzy flesh and blood in formalin, and various body tissues were stacked chaotically.
Unlike the kinks of people with Ficus sinensis, this is a mess that cannot be reunited after crushing.
The feeling of touching in Gu Jun's heart became stronger, his heart rate was also increasing, and the sound of a thumping and violent heartbeat appeared in his consciousness......
"Next!" He said, and opened another storage slot next to him with Wang Ruoxiang.
The smell of formalin in the storage room grew stronger and more pungent, and storage tanks were opened one by one, revealing a shattered corpse.
Everyone didn't understand what Gu Jun was doing, but there was an indescribable strangeness around them, but they could all feel it vaguely.
"Empty, empty." Gu Jun muttered, looking at the corpses one after another, his heart rate was a little uncomfortable, "These...... It's all empty shells. β
Empty shells? A flash of lightning flashed in his heart, breaking through the fog, and he understood this nothingness even more......
These corpses have no soul, and there is no trace of the soul once inhabited.
Is it because the nervous system of the corpse has all atrophied, and every nerve cell has long since died?
Or is it because of the fall from a great height, with the great pain of liberation that comes with it, everything is shattered like a dream?
Unlike normal corpses, which always have some traces, they are all pure flesh and blood, as if they had never been ...... That's that kind of blankness.
"Ahh As soon as Gu Jun figured it out, his head was aching, and the feeling of touch was gradually condensing into an illusion, but it was not yet an illusion that could be formed.
His connection to the illusion wasn't strong enough...... If it had been before, he wouldn't have been able to grasp these glimpses.
But now, he unhurriedly condensed his mental power, used the technique of extrasensory perception, tried his best to block out his other senses, and focused all his mental power on the "sound" of the illusion, which he seemed to hear...... Thunder.
In an instant, Gu Jun felt that he had drifted away from the body storage room and entered an illusion.
There was a dull thunderclap that sounded, like the sky was collapsing, and his heart couldn't help but shrink in horror.
The night sky was raining heavily, and the loose rotting earth was washed away by the rain, and some fell into a deep pit with the water......
He saw that there was a coffin buried at the bottom of the pit, and the earth had been excavated.
It was an ancient wooden coffin, the wood had rotted in many places, the wood color had become a strange brown black, and there were some inexplicable carvings on the coffin.
Suddenly, with a snap, a hand rested on the coffin from above......
The hand was as thin as bones, the wrinkled skin was covered with clumps of fungus, the withered fingers were connected to the long pointed nails like claws, and the few veins that could be seen outside the plaque on the back of the hand were bursting up, and black blood seemed to flow in the veins.
What kind of biological ...... is this? It doesn't have a cuticle cortex, it's not the kind of heterogeneous that is wreaking havoc in the world of alien literature......
Gu Jun wanted to look at the body to which this hand belonged, but he couldn't see it because of the limited viewing angle, and this anxiety also caused the illusion to shake a little.
Steady, steady. He remembered what Tongye had taught him to calm down, not to try to see a certain picture clearly, but to feel the illusion itself.
To understand chaos is not to organize it so that it is no longer chaotic, chaos is chaos.
Boom, another thunderclap, and some chaotic scenes suddenly churned in his mind.
Crooked street signs, dancing crows, vague inscriptions, fluttering rainstorms, gloomy skies, withered old trees, fallen old tombstones.
This is a cemetery......
As the rain washed away, a grave pit was empty, and the coffin inside was pulled out and placed across the tombstone, and the coffin lid was thrown aside.
Just around the coffin, several strange figures crouched on the coffin, is it human...... It was a humanoid creature with a head, limbs, and torso, and it was hazy, but the strange hand just now undoubtedly belonged to this creature......
Their hands and heads poked into the gloomy coffin, and a voice came out, as if it were ...... The sound of gnawing ......
Suddenly, Gu Jun's head ached again, and he saw an extremely dirty, bad, and chilling scene, the creature's blurred and ugly face came into mind, and it grabbed something rotten with both hands and stuffed it into its mouth, and the rotten liquid dripped from its mouth......
In its hands, there was something silent, cloudy, but seemingly staring straight at him.
It was a rotting eyeball.
This scene burst through his head, and the pain and dizziness immediately overwhelmed him, and he almost screamed!
He had understood what this creature was, and he had understood a lot.
"Gu Jun, Gu Jun!?"
"No, my lips are purple, it seems to be a myocardial infarction, I have to be rescued immediately!"
A nervous voice gradually came again, pulling Gu Jun's spirit back from the nightmarish vision.
"Ah......" Gu Jun took a big breath, and the scene in front of him became clear, only to find that he was already lying on the edge of the body storage tank, so close to the tattered body in the tank, that he could even see the dry blood vessels and nerves on it.
Wang Ruoxiang was helping him and said urgently: "Call someone quickly!" β
Just when Cai Zixuan and the others were about to act urgently, Gu Jun gasped and said, "I'm fine, don't ...... That's what I'm here for......"
He stood up forcefully, and said to the puzzled people: "The specific situation involves confidentiality, I can't say more......"
"Are you sure you're okay?" Wang Ruoxiang only asked, "Let's sit down for a while." β
"No, I have to report to Professor Qin...... You cover these storage slots. β
Gu Jun nodded to them and walked towards the outside of the storage room, his body still shaking a little, but his steps became faster and faster.
Although after seeing this vision, his current mental state has become very poor and empty, but he knows something.
The bodies of people with nightmares are empty shells without any traces of their souls.
He suspected that their souls had been sacrificed to another being. Not to be erased, but to be devoured. Their souls are a kind of food.
They are being called away, and they are calling for something.
These blank, rotting flesh is another kind of food.
Gu Jun had a calm face, ignored the suspicious greeting of the administrator uncle, and walked quickly through the corridor.
He looked at the system panel in his mindβthe abyss quest in the task list that had been there for a long time, but had not had access to the information before.
