Chapter 187: Zoog

Translator: Lonelytree

Silence, emptiness, chaos…

Does a human have a ness exist? Does it even exist?

In the blurriness, a consciousness was sloakening It could hear the pitter-patter of soht… washed away the darkness slightly Was it the eyes… the eyes…

The consciousness slowly gathered its inated fro The consciousness was like a candle left in the storuished… but at that moment, it appeared to hear a different voice It did not co the chaos…

‘Dirty-minded Jun? Dirty- your will Now is the time to correct their mistake,’ the voice said

‘Dirty-minded Jun? Dead? Will?’ The consciousness percolated on theof these words, and suddenly, more awakened within him Dirty- up, and the chaos was fading away bringing the voice with it

‘Dirty-minded Jun? Salty taste, Gu Jun…’ As the naness, the consciousness was assaulted by waves of pain Following the intense pain came the realization ‘Gu Jun, I am Gu Jun But shouldn’t I be dead already? And that was Wu Siyu’s voice earlier… Shouldn’t she have returned? Did she not return‽’

As panic cut through his thought, other es flashed before his eyes… ‘No, Dirty-minded Yu returned to the real world, I am sure of that’

Gu Jun could only see darkness, complete darkness, but he could sense his presence

‘So, where am I?’

He appeared to be still inside a body, but he could not open his eyes In fact, he could not move even a muscle in his body, but that did not take away fro his body As his consciousness cleared up, more came to him He turned to the system in his mind… However, it appeared like his ht dazed him, and he felt too powerless to switch the system that he could have easily flickered on in the past

‘I don’t even have the mental power left to open the system?’ He could remember rather hazily that his last mental corruption rate was forty-nine percent ‘That is so close to half If I wake up, will the corruption go over half? So, what am I supposed to do now?’

Gu Jun was reminded of the fact that he should have sliced his throat already The piercing pain informed him clearly that he had severed the e and cardiac arrest too

‘So, ahost?’

But he did not feel like it The strange whispering and pitter patter were getting louder, and they sounded strangely familiar

‘Where have I heard them before?’ Gu Jun tried to think, but he did not dare exhaust histi through the jungle on the island He and Wu Siyu had heard this rustling before It sounded like so over the dead leaves, but when they stopped to observe their surroundings, they did not find anything The pitter patter was strangely rhythmic, and it was accompanied by a soft voice that sounded like it was forced out of the throat For souage It felt like so

‘Dirty-minded Yu, are you there?’ He called several times in his heart and tried to form a connection, but it was to no avail She was not in the drea Wu Siyu juh the dimensional crack The voice that he heard earlier was probably a product of his subconscious

‘Is it possible that I was saved by soht to himself Honestly, he was afraid of death like everyone else He had chosen suicide because that appeared to be the only solution to end the nighthtmare Illness was too? And what kind of state was he in? Was everything alright at Eastern State?

He thought for a while as he listened to the strange noises around him

‘Locked-in Syndrome’ The nae to the brain stem, patients would be trapped in the situation that he was currently in Their consciousness was alive, and they could hear just fine They had pain reflexes, but they could not speak or move Because of this, the illness was also dubbed ‘pseudo-coma’ The condition was one of the ed the human medical community There was still no effective treatment for it But now Gu Jun remembered that some of the patients still could move their eyeballs and used this method to communicate with the outside world
