Chapter Twenty-Six: The Howl of the Dead

At this moment, Gu Jun was in an iron cage, standing next to the human body tree.

He was not without psychological pressure, the feeling of confinement caused by the iron cage and the huge feeling of the human tree were compressing the nerves in his whole body, making him want to take a deep breath.

But Gu Jun didn't, it was definitely a bad idea to take a deep breath inside the cage, and he already felt like he had fallen into a formalin pool when he breathed lightly.

Professor Qin was staring at them, and Gu Jun knew that he couldn't be cowardly, so he continued to carefully observe the human tree in front of him. The skin of these twisted corpses had a black liquid that was more obvious than that of the general teacher, patches the color of dead trees, without corpse spots, but definitely the most strange and filthy skin he had ever seen.

But he thought that if the strange form was alive, and the black liquid circulated back and forth like a river, it would be a very vigorous scene.

Gu Jun looked at one of the heads on the "main trunk of the tree" again, and those unsparked eyes were almost at eye level with him.

Or should I say, eyeballs.

The cornea of the eyeball is so cloudy that it is impossible to see the pupil.

He felt something staring at him from the dark abyss through these eyeballs.

"......" Gu Jun suddenly had an urge in his heart, and then it became stronger and stronger, wanting to reach out and touch this human body tree......

Seeing that Gu Jun slowly raised his hand, the students from the surrounding schools were very worried, what is this guy going to do?

At this moment, Gu Jun's eyes suddenly seemed to come to life, he wasn't sure if the pupils he saw were hallucinations, but he clearly saw that the mouth of this head was opening slightly, and suddenly there was a hissing sound!

It is not a sound caused by the airflow that vibrates the vocal cords, but a sound that is sounded by the friction and squeezing of the vocal organs, such as the vocal cords, throat, mouth, and nasal cavity.

Hoarse, low, but recognizable: "Help, save me......"

Gu Jun's heart was suffocated, his hand raised in mid-air trembled, and he was almost about to take a few steps back, but he endured this instinctive panic. He couldn't help it, because he had only heard this voice yesterday, and it was in that call to Gurong Village......

But suddenly, the other heads on the human tree also moved, and a dozen or so faces that had long since died erupted into a frenzied and ugly wail: "I, I'm not dead......" "Ah, no! "It hurts......" "Help me!" "Why ......"

All the howls rushed into his ears like a storm, and Gu Jun's body stiffened a little uncontrollably.

The other end of the phone yesterday...... Is there really only one villager?

"Ah!!h The seats around the arena immediately erupted in chaotic screams, many students collapsed in their seats, many students jumped in fright, and part of their minds were forever consumed by this scene, waiting to wake up from a nightmare.

The jury looked around, the scared students were kicked out, maybe they would become tenacious after getting used to it, but the department didn't need them for the time being, and hopefully the situation would never be so bad that they would need it. After such a round of screening, less than one-tenth of the students are still eligible for selection.

As for the teachers and professors, although they can still be calm, they are not in the department's consideration in the first place.

Because what the sector needs is young people, and young people have enough plasticity. And many ordinary positions also need these teachers to teach.

Professor Qin had been looking at Gu Jun, paying attention to his every move.

At this time, the entire human tree suddenly emitted a sharp and piercing sound that was more than ten times more than 10 times sharper!

This howl from hell seemed to melt the entire gymnasium to pieces.

"Ghost, ghost......" More students were stupefied, and a few even broke down and cried.

When some animals see a tiger, even if they have never seen a tiger before, even if it is a fake ragdoll tiger, they will be very scared, panic and just want to run away, which is the fear engraved in the genes. Now the sound is the tiger, and the human beings are those animals, and the people can't understand it, they just know that they are panicked and scared.

"Whew." Gu Jun still took a deep breath and adjusted his breath to not let the instinctive fear knock him down.

However, the conscious mind thinks so, but the subconscious mind is obviously not, his body is stiff, and he can't move a little...... What to do?

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Professor Qin and their calm looks, he definitely didn't expect him to pass this assessment, a bunch of sadists.

"Even if I were to be brought in, there should be no real danger." Gu Jun's mind was racing, calming himself down, digesting and thinking, "And there is a way to deal with it." Why does the human tree suddenly make sounds? What's the difference? Did I walk in, there should be some kind of trigger in there......"

The more fearful you are, the more you can't run away.

Gu Jun thought as he looked again at the cloudy eyes on the human tree, and then at the eyes of the other heads.

Under the pressure of those howls, he felt the slightest change in his eyes, and his pupils became dilated......

Under normal circumstances, the cornea of the human eye will become cloudy due to the loss of moisture after death, and the longer the death time, the more cloudy it will become, until the pupil cannot be seen, which is an irreversible cadaveric phenomenon. Forensic medicine can estimate the time of death based on the degree of corneal opacity.

Even shortly after death, the pupils no longer shrink or dilate as the smooth muscles become relaxed, but only medium-sized.

But now these dead people of the human tree ...... It seems to be alive again.

Did I wake them up? Gu Jun's feeling of wanting to touch the human tree just now came up again, or were they calling me?

Give it a try. He stared, and once again raised his hand and reached out, this time not to pause, but to reach out and close the eyelids of the face. The orbicularis oculi muscle was tense and had an unusually strong force, so much so that he needed to push hard.

As soon as the eyelids are closed, the head quickly calms down.

So that's the case, Gu Jun continued to close his other eyes, and silently said sorry to them: I can't save you, please rest in peace.

"Huh." This is not the scene envisioned by the judges, you look at me, I look at you, there is a surprise.

This kid has this kind of performance for the first time in front of the human tree, calm and rational, it's so rare! This time I may have really picked up a treasure.

As the howling gradually subsided, the students also saw Gu Jun's response clearly, and they were suddenly a little excited, and the surrounding alarms were subsiding...... Everyone gritted their teeth and reorganized their spirits, isn't it just a corpse, there is nothing to be afraid of, the medical dog is fearless!

"Hmm......" Professor Qin watched Gu Jun close the eyes of those heads that he could reach, and the satisfaction in his heart was a little more, he didn't know about medical skills, but this young man's psychological quality was very good, "Classmate Gu, stop, it's okay, you can come out." ”

Squeak, the staff stepped forward to open the cage door.

Gu Jun glanced at the human tree again, and then walked out steadily, and as soon as he left, the heads that had not closed their eyes gradually stopped wailing.

When Gu Jun walked out of the iron cage, the audience suddenly burst into applause...... Many students in major schools spontaneously applauded Gu Jun. Of course, the students of Dongda applauded their own people, and Gu Jun, who walked back to his seat, was like a hero who returned triumphantly.

"Tuhaojun, you are really good this time."

"You're so calm."

Gu Jun returned to his seat in the face of everyone's praise, Professor Gu gave him a thumbs up, Xu Hai, Zhang Haoran and He Yuhan were very excited to worship him, just now they were all frightened, he simply saved their dog's life.

But it wasn't until he sat down in his seat that Gu Jun's nerves relaxed slightly, and the horror and unique beauty of the deformity of the human body tree were still haunted in his heart......

He was still thinking about the meaning of that howling. Maybe it doesn't make sense, maybe it's just that humans don't understand.

"Haojun." Cai Zixuan sighed beside him, "Your walk into the iron cage reminds me of Zhao Zilong walking up the longboard slope." ”

Wang Ruoxiang, who was sitting on the other side of him, patted him and asked, "Actually, did you panic just now?" She noticed that he was still a little nervous, deliberately joking.

"Nope." Gu Jun smiled self-deprecatingly, "But there are two batches of panic." "Thank you, squad leader, I'm fine.

On the other side, Professor Qin did not rush away, and only after the applause of the audience fell, did he explain solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you didn't hit a ghost just now. It was the creature in the cage — let's call it a creature, it was a symptom of its dead state. ”
