Chapter Seventy-One: The Lost Past

It was very quiet in the barracks, and Gu Jun looked at the TV screen, feeling that the patient in the image was also looking at him.

"It's a simple identification procedure." Captain Wang Ke explained, "The identification people are all 1,024 patients in the camp who have experienced delirium. ”

Identification procedure? Gu Jun knew that this was a criminal investigation method, and the victims and witnesses generally identified the suspects......

"We mixed together 30 photos of people with different body shapes, facial features, and hairstyles, and the psychological team determined that there were no feature hints in them. We also do not give any hints to any patient until we make a identification. ”

Wang Ke also said, "The process of identification is to use the computer to play the thirty photos to the identifier in a random order, and then ask the identifier at the second random playback, is there any person you have seen in a state of delirium?" If you were asked to choose a photo, which one would it be? ”

At this time, in the screen video, the patient's eyes suddenly widened slightly, and he raised his finger and pointed, "It's this person, I've seen this person." ”

The image immediately switched to a camera position, and Gu Jun saw that there was a computer in front of the patient, and the photo stopped on the computer screen was a ID photo of an intern of the Tianji Bureau. It's him, Gu Jun.

"......" Gu Jun inhaled deeply in silence, but he couldn't stretch his heart, he didn't know this patient, he had never seen it.

Without waiting for him to think about it, the image changed to the next patient, and then the next patient...... But the photos that stopped were all the same, Gu Jun.

The people of the investigation team standing around him, cold, sharp, and questioning, all kinds of eyes were glaring at him, as if they were asking him for an explanation.

This may be their psychological offensive, putting pressure on him to be obedient and lenient.

"Doctor Gu, among the 1,024 people who identified it, 751 of them identified you." Captain Wang Ke may be the one who pretends to be red-faced, but his tone is still very calm and objective: "The remaining 206 did not make a choice, and 67 chose others." Of the 751 people who chose you, more than half of the 397 said they remembered seeing you in delirium hallucinations, but couldn't remember anything specific. ”

Cao Yicong, Tang Ziying and others were almost staring at Gu Jun.

They didn't know Gu Jun much privately, and after getting along for a while, they felt that he was quite pleasing to the eye.

However, with a 73 percent agreement, this number is high even in ordinary criminal identification—it may be just a few witnesses and a dozen or so photographs.

But now there are 1,024 identifiers, 30 photos, and 73% unanimously chose the same person.

Gu Jun is not a public figure, and he has not had any news exposure, and he has not even uploaded his photos to the Internet.

The investigation team has already found out these circumstances, so why is this happening? It can only be because of the anomalous power.

"Doctor Gu, we suspect that ......" Wang Ke's broad face was only serious at the moment, "you are what the 'thing in the banyan tree' in the mouth of a patient with banyan disease." ”

"Team King, everyone." Gu Jun whispered, the luck in his heart was completely extinguished by this basin of cold water, and the bone-chilling cold caused a bone-chilling dazedness, "I don't know what's going on, I hope you can give me the truth......"

He looked at this, looked at that, but found that except for Captain Wang Ke, everyone's eyes were still very stern, and they were still putting pressure on him.

This made him suddenly a little angry, I am different from the murderers of the Afterlife!

He thought of Wang Ruoxiang and Zixuan, Zhu Zhudao, Brother Qiang, and Professor Gu......

I think of the hard work in the laboratory, the hard work in the training room, the struggle in the operating room, those joyful laughter, and those falling tears.

The sense of belonging that has been re-established, and the determination to practice medicine that I have finally settled.

"I'm a doctor." Gu Jun stared at his eyes, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Before I came here, I just participated in an operation to remove the larvae of the latent giant worm from the wound of the injured person's right upper limb one by one, and all the trophozoites, cysts, and oocysts had to be cleaned up, and everyone did it for thirteen hours. ”

He had seen the brutality of the Afterlife from nightmares, and had some clues from visions and memories, and he did not suspect that the Afterlife Society or even himself had a connection behind this matter.

But...... Gu Jun glanced at Wang Ke and Cao Yicong's faces, "Officers, I hate the culprit behind the alien banyan disease as much as you do, I wish I could help you arrest them tonight, but I am responsible for treating the disease and saving people, and I only have this ability." ”

Listening to Gu Jun's solemn words, everyone's eyes softened.

After more than ten hours of surgery, he has never drunk a drop of water, and he is indeed a man.

"Doctor Gu." Wang Ke also softened a little, "We don't suspect that you caused them to get sick, but there is something involved." These suspicions are based on clues and evidence, and this is only one of the facts we know. ”

"What else?" Gu Jun asked.

"Let's do an experiment first, time is tight, Doctor Gu, you will be on the night shift."

At that moment, Wang Ke took the lead and several subordinates took Gu Jun to another small barracks next to it, this is an identification room, there is a transparent glass wall between the front room and the back room, Gu Jun was arranged to sit on a chair in the back room, facing the front room.

"Doctor Gu, next we will let the 1,024 patients, a team of ten people, come in and see you and see if anything will happen."

Wang Ke told him, and then took the team members out of the front room and closed the soundproof door between the two rooms.

"......" Gu Jun could notice the camera in the upper corner of the surroundings, and through the glass window, looking outside, Wang Ke and they stood aside.

Soon, Tang Ziying and another investigator came in with a group of 10 patients, both men and women, young and old, including an old man in a wheelchair, a middle-aged woman with a cane, a young man who was already proficient in the use of a prosthetic leg, and a girl with an empty cuff.

As soon as they saw him, they were all a little excited, panicked and incredulous, how could the figure in the delirium illusion really sit there?

The girl turned white with fright and hurriedly hid behind the adult, but just like that, she still cried out and was taken away by Tang Ziying in advance.

Gu Jun didn't move, his expression didn't change, he just sat quietly, and vaguely heard the whispers of the patients outside to the investigators......

A group of patients went out, another group of patients came in, the panicked and frightened faces continued to grow, and the buzzing sound kept ringing and ringing......

Those faces and that whispering voice were also constantly impacting Gu Jun. His head began to ache, and the hazy and frenzied light and shadow loomed in front of him, a feeling that was no longer unfamiliar to him, could it be the illusion of the black-and-white photograph...... Is it going to be triggered......

"Why is this happening?" Gu Jun's gradually painful head couldn't understand that this was not the scene in the photo at all.

And now...... He was on camera footage and under the noses of investigators, and no abnormality could escape the eyes of these people.

Don't come at this time! He gritted his teeth and resisted the appearance of the vision, but as batches of patients appeared, the chaotic light and shadow became more and more real...... It was as if a whisper was ringing in his ears, getting louder and louder......

Gu Jun couldn't help but press his head fiercely with both hands, but he saw that the faces of each of those patients seemed to have become the same face.

The face of the withered man.

If...... This is the situation that Captain Wang Ke wants? Is that the only way to trigger the illusion of that photo?

"I need the truth, I need the answers...... Check it out......"

As soon as his mind changed painfully, Gu Jun suddenly fell into an illusion, but it was that nightmare again.

The sky was eerily dark, and a huge banyan tree stood there, its thick branches and tangled fibrous roots, as if it had twisted the world.

In that muddy land, hundreds of men in black and a dozen men in red all knelt on the ground, their heads pressed deep against the rancid mud. They were worshipping the great banyan tree, muttering indescribable whispers, like delirium confusion, like fanatical praise.

In the trunk of the big banyan tree, there is a huge cavity in the decaying banyan tree.

Inside the hollow of the tree, a figure sat majestically, a little boy of only a few years old, dressed in a strange costume, and wearing a crown of tangled and woven branches and fibrous roots of a banyan tree, like a king and a god.

The little boy looked down at the kneeers, his childish face expressionless, and his eyes were a color of an abyss, all dark.

The cold voice that resounded through the heavens and the earth was the words that the little boy was saying:

"I am the son of doom, and thou knowest thou art unclean, and thou art foolishness, and thou art lowly......

Gu Jun recognized that this little boy was himself.

Gu Jun, something in the banyan tree.
