Chapter 606 Dead City
All the eyes are seen in ruins.
Gu Jun looked blankly at the ruined city under the terrace, and glanced around and could not see halfway moving figures. The tall figures of the Sunset City Foundation, those who were standing on the street next to the terrace, and the figures who were talking to him... all disappeared.
The once vigorous vitality was replaced by the desolate dead energy, the dead city.
His heart suddenly burst into pain.
What happened?
The steps of failure were slowly lifted up, and Gu Jun walked towards the steps on the fairly intact stone slab on the terrace. In the past, he could not walk down the long stone stairs, and he could not even step one. The closer he got to the steps, the heavier the mental pressure, as if he was about to wake up from his dream.
This time it was different. He walked through the middle of this huge terrace, and the mental pressure he was under was unchanged by dozens of steps.
It’s just that confusion in my heart is more.
When Gu Jun stood on the edge of the steps, it seemed like a cold wind was blowing by, or perhaps it was just him who shuddered.
The city of sunset was destroyed?
But this place...is it a city of sunset?
The yellow light power seemed to be polluted by the dark aura... Could it be that he actually went to another place?
But why the two are so similar, he can see what grand and beautiful buildings the broken walls originally belonged to... Mirror? Reflection?
Of course, Gu Jun was unwilling to incline that the Sunset City was destroyed, but reason was pulling him, reason was saying that it was not like there was a chance of luck...
He stood for a while before finally taking his right foot and landing on the first step he was walking down. His steps were firm and he went down, but the nightmare was not awakened.
The second step, the third step, the fourth step... the nightmare is still there.
He didn't know how he existed here. If it was a dream, why all the scenes were so clear, why the turbid air sucked into his lungs was so real that every pore felt the dead silence here.
Gu Jun walked step by step, and after walking for about an hour, he reached the end of the stone steps, and the street was the next step.
He noticed along the way that the more the stone steps went, the more broken they became. The last hundred or ten steps were full of cracks. Several times he heard the sound of cracking deep under his feet, and the whole stairs were shaking. Soon after, whenever a strong wind blew one day, it would add a pile of broken stones to the ruins.
It was also on the way that he had a new idea.
Time is not straight, the universe is full of various dimensions...
Could it be that this is what it is? The City of Sunset originally exists in the past? The distant past?
The previous connections and help... are all products of the past that spanned time and space, but now, the city of Sunset no longer exists.
Or, the negative choice of life between the City of Sunset and the Black Goat will be inseparable from the relationship. If the earth world interrupts its connection with the latter two, it will also interrupt its connection with the City of Sunset... neither light nor darkness can exist alone...
Will this be the case?
Gu Jun's head was swollen and painful, and too many chaotic thoughts were tangled together, strangling him like a rope. The air became more and more turbid, and the air below had a rotten smell.
He took the last step, left the steps and stood on the city streets that were previously out of reach, but the delicate cobblestones and marble were covered with cracks and dust, and large chunks of broken stones and collapsed stone pillars cut the road ahead, and he had to walk around.
"Is anyone there?"
Gu Jun asked while looking around, saying that the voice was not loud, perhaps because he didn't think there would be any response.
The houses on both sides of the street were once very lively, some were residential houses, some were libraries, and some were taverns... Even if it was not bustling, it was not so desolate and quiet. The fountain that once sprayed with clear spring water was blocked, because no one was taking care of it, but only a pool of dirty dirt; the flower beds that once were full of flowers accumulated another pool of dirty dirt; the once beautiful river accumulated another pool of dirty dirt...
"Is anyone? Is there any..."
Gu Jun walked past the cracked arch bridge and arrived at a wide square. The statues that originally stood around the square were all turned into piles of debris.
He looked at the left, the right, the front, and then the back.
It is no difference from what you see on the terrace, but it is more clear.
All the eyes are seen in ruins.
I don’t know if the strength in my body was taken away by the journey or was swallowed by these loneliness. After Gu Jun sighed a long sigh, he almost couldn’t stand steadily.
He stretched his legs and feet and held his forehead, but all the old injuries on his body were on the verge of, including the broken skull, the scarred face, the broken left fingers, the right calf that had just been healed... I couldn't tell whether it was painful, numb, or both, and he was a little breathless.
The city of sunset...is it destroyed...
Have organizations like Sunset City all such powers been destroyed...
My heart is towards the light, never despair...
Who destroyed the City of Sunset? What organization? What power? When?
Gu Jun clenched his slightly shaking fist and punched him in his heart. If this was a nightmare, then wake up!
But with a loud bang, he did not let him leave here, and the vortex firmly grabbed him.
Just as Gu Jun was about to sit down on a large gravel that was slumped beside him, suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see a black shadow flashing by the pile of statues in front of him. He couldn't care whether this was an illusion. He plucked up his strength and ran over, "Stand! Who is it!"
However, he ran over and saw that it was empty.
The black shadow just now may just be a reflection of a piece of gravel.
But Gu Jun found something else, a split cross symbol was engraved on the ground here.
The split cross symbol... The split cross symbol that has been missing for a long time but has never gone far away...
He seemed to have seen this one, in...Arkham Miskatonik University Library in the world of "The King of Yellows"...
At that time, with the help of three gatekeepers, he broke away from the ceremony of Dr. Armitage, and also escaped from the trap of Nayaratotip, and arrived at the terrace of Sunset City for the first time, and returned to his hometown world.
Why, there is a split cross symbol on the ground here...
There are no symbols carved in other parts of this square and next to other statues.
The more Gu Jun looked at the symbol, the more thoughts he had, was it left for me?
But how could the Sunset City be destroyed? They left a mark on him. Besides, those people didn't know what happened in the end...
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the symbol had a strange attraction.
"Maybe, when different people come here, they will see different marks? The mark left on themselves by the city of sunset?"
