“Xiao Jun, we have sos that we need to tell you”
Gu Jun’s wavering consciousness was floating in the darkness A barely discernible fe hie before hi rooe and the potted plants Gu Jun remembered this as the last day he had with his parents before they went out to the sea At the time, he was less than ten After that, he was kicked out of his own hoend, before a person died, they would see the scene that planted the ret in their heart
A very tallhair stood there Their faces were hidden behind a layer of blurriness Gu Jun er version of himself There appeared to be some fear in their oal all along to go searching for kan Subvolcanic Belt, or is there another reason behind it?’
As he re to sail soon We ht need you to stay at a place with other children for some time…”
Gu Jun heard a childish voice say, “Then, how long will you be gone this time, and ill you return?”
“Soon” His mother hesitated He felt that in that moment, he really could feel the sadness in histo leave him behind “You have to focus on your studies and listen to the adults After all, you need to study hard if you want to become a doctor in the future Should you face any trouble in the future, reive up, okay?”
“I know,” the boy answered He huffed angrily and turned to walk away “I’m not as important as that boat anyway”
Gu Jun felt his consciousness being pulled away He trailed behind his younger self, as causing trouble for his parents ere packing up He was banned fro the study He thus found his way into his parent’s bedroom Inside their closet, he found a ball of crumpled paper inside the pocket of a coat He opened it up to see
“Xiao Jun!” His mother’s yelp of surprise appeared frorab the piece of paper away “Go back to your room and play I need to pack the clothes now”
Gu Jun snapped with shock He did not think much of this incident when he was sorizing it as one of the disruptions he had done to stop his parents fro the hypnosis either because, in his mind, all the important stuff was inside the study, which he was banned fro But earlier, he had clearly seen a nautical chart on that piece of paper and soether and written with a black fountain pen The handwriting was rather hasty, and they were repetitions of one strange sentence
[ Ph’nglui lui lui n]
‘This is not the foreign language, so what is it? How do you read it? Is this part of ‘those documents?’ Gu Jun’s mind sharpened from shock and apprehension The pictures that he had drahen he was young, he thought they were part of the foreign language, but Lai Sheng Coe, so ould they need that froood that they could evoke it for spell incantations
The pictures and drawings he had done should have been handed over to the company already ‘Those documents’ could point toward other secrets, probably the real result his parents had gotten from their nautical research
His parents probably belonged to another force inside Lai Sheng Coanization or at least had a different goal from those people in black and red
Yet, whether their goal was good or bad, why they had joined Lai Sheng Company, why the split, and the reason they travelled to the Longkan Subvolcanic Belt…
Theof that sentence and how that was related to the fact he was made the vessel for both the contradictory sides of Landon as the Son of Steel and the Son of Misfortune…
So many questions ricocheted in hisGu Jun choked on the breath and snapped out froe sentence on the paper was still branded before his eyes
“He’s up… He’s up, Uncle Dan Gu Jun is awake!” He could hear Lin Mo’s voice shouting with exciteht of the ruined shrine, and he was lying on top of the stretcher
