Chapter 354: Signal or Illusion
Translator: Lonelytree
Inside the quiet bedroom, cold sweat slid down Gu Jun’s forehead The headache intensified as a voice drifted towards hih the darkness It was staticky like it came out from an old-fashi+oned radio It was intermittent It was a firm male Chinese voice and it uttered evenly, “If you can hear us… We are… innocent…” No matter how hard Gu Jun tried to focus, he could not hear any to converse with hinal and he was the only one who could tune into it
“If you can…” The pain reached Gu Jun’s threshold and the voice faded away His eyes flew open and Gu Jun took gasping breaths He was exposed to strange voices in his head many times in the past, soh the medium of spell or ritual but this time, it felt very unique… His nal ‘But who’d broadcast so like this? What would be the purpose?’
Gu Jun dissected the single sentence
For one, ‘if you can’ suggested that the other party considered the possibility Gu Jun could not hear him; the broadcast would not be picked up by anyone
For te’ anization And it was froe used was Chinese
For three, ‘innocent’ signified that the broadcaster wished to persuade the listeners that they were on the sanal was received by Gu Jun, it was safe to assume that these people meddle in the supernatural as well It was the only reason to warn the listeners of their stance A normal radio channel would not preface their broadcast with such warning Of course, this could very well be a trap for the listeners to think this way
Gu Jun looked around hi back at him ‘Innocent?’ He had very serious doubts about that Gu Jun was not sure he was the only recipient or not, but how anizations within the country could acco like this? It was beyond Phecda and even FBM He and Dirty-minded Yu successfully transmitted pictures before but it was not even close to the level of so like this If they were really innocent, with such powerful resources, why didn’t they show theic incidents? Both FBM and GOA were public organizations now, they could be easily reached
Gu Jun frowned as another possibility entered his mind ‘Could it be a transmission from the future or the past? No, it does not feel like it… Or it’s froain, I probably shouldn’t think too ain… It does sound like their modus operandi After all, they stressed that they were innocent and they only wanted to help usher in a new era’
“Who are you?” Gu Jun stood up and asked the emptiness around him He checked for ripples in the air “Innocent? But innocence is subjective Your ht be different from ours” He said as he moved around the room He pulled out the drawers and opened the dressers All the while, he maintained this one-sided conversation “Are you the R’yleh Cult? I know soht have sacrificed the in so to summon Cthulhu with that sha Erde, is that you? You’re not dead, are you?”
These thoughts gripped Gu Jun’s brain and squeezed on it His heart skipped a beat as his ered hiht of the supernatural could weaken hies filtered into hishead stuck on a pike… His heart was lacerated
“Ah!” Gu Jun groaned from pain He vented his frustration at the innocent wooden dresser The dresser shuddered He took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions… PTSD… He ultimately could not accept this condition He was deprived of the ability to even protect the person he loved…
“If you can hear ed back to the bed “No matter if you’re innocent or not, I’et out of ht confused Gu Jun ‘What is their goal? To push h I’m already practically a benched player? Or… was the voice that I heard even real?’ Gu Jun used to be able to identify the authenticity of these voices easily but that ability had deserted hiain, this could be the uniqueness of the broadcast It was extreer like Gu Jun’s other illusions Or all of these were just syndromes of his PTSD…

Gu Jun sat by the bed for a long tih ‘Be thankful, it’s a miracle that you’re still alive You should be dead froo You should be thankful for what you have today I have left Phecda for just one day, it won’t be that easy to revert to nor veterans Whether they suffer from PTSD or not, there will be an adjustment period… I should heed the doctor’s orders and take my medicine and rest’
Gu Jun persuaded hi more than his illusion—after all, research showed that 50 percent of PTSD victi a call and reported the incident, “It could be sonal I worry thistreated it seriously and quickly made an enquiry The result showed that no one other than Gu Jun had reported so similar
“Ah Jun, ill follow up on this and ill update you if there’s anything new” Elder Tong said, “It’s getting late, you should be sleeping”
It was almost dahen Gu Jun ended the call His head was still pulsing He laid down in bed and took deep breaths He forced hio to sleep
