It was a little after five in the morning and the sky outside was already starting to get light.
An old man next to him was listening to the play on the radio and slapping his thigh hard.
The sound of snapping echoed throughout the hall.
The old man had no choice. If he didn't take the photo, he might fall asleep on the spot. Others also had bloodshot eyes and were breathing heavily, using various methods to stay awake.
After much consideration, Lin Mo decided to tell the police about what happened in his dream. The first time, Lin Mo himself couldn't be sure whether the dream was true, but after the second time, he could confirm some of his guesses.
And the authorities must know something, so maybe we can take this opportunity to find out some information.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo stood up with the newspaper and walked to a policeman in front.
"Comrade police, I have important news to report."
A face full of mystery.
The policeman was also very sleepy, but his endurance was obviously stronger. At this time, he glanced at Lin Mo with some impatience.
"What are you going to report?"
After saying that, he yawned.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and whispered, "I just had a nightmare."
The young policeman was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted after a while, and immediately frowned: "You fell asleep just now?"
Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, I was so sleepy that I couldn't help it."
"Okay, come with me." The young policeman led the way and Lin Mo followed behind.
Judging from the other party's reaction, Lin Mo was certain that the young policeman's leader had given instructions, but even Lin Mo did not expect the other party's reaction to be so big.
After a while, Lin Mo was brought in from a temporary tent outside.
After Lin Mo entered, he was stunned.
There were already more than a dozen people inside, both men and women, and they all looked terrified when they saw Lin Mo come in.
Lin Mo could see that these people were not afraid of him, but were nervous. Any slight disturbance around them would cause them to react extremely strongly.
Moreover, some of them looked pale and were shaking.
It was like having experienced a severe shock.
"You rest here for a while." The young policeman said to Lin Mo and pointed to an empty seat over there.
Lin Mo sat down obediently.
But he seemed out of place among the frightened people around him.
There were already two policemen guarding the tent.
They had been observing Lin Mo since he came in. Both of them had frowns on their faces. Later, they couldn't help it and pulled the young policeman who brought Lin Mo here aside.
"Xiao Lu, what's going on with this guy?" asked an older policeman.
The young policeman was stunned: "Didn't Captain Liu say that we should bring here all those who accidentally fell asleep and woke up?"
"He fell asleep? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"No, he said so himself."
"Xiao Lu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're still too young." The older police officer shook his head and pouted, meaning for the young policeman to look at the other people in the room.
"See? That's the right reaction for them. And what Captain Liu said, have you forgotten? After experiencing nightmares and narrowly escaping death, those who survived are lucky. Even those who survived were terrified and most of them are not mentally normal. How could they be so calm? Look at his complexion, he looks better than you."
After he said this, the young policeman suddenly understood.
Compared to others, that person is indeed 'too normal'.
Thinking that Team Leader Liu has a bad temper, it would be a big loss if he got scolded because of this matter.
"I'll go ask him." The young policeman walked over.
Calling Lin Mo aside, the young policeman said with a sullen face: "What's your name?"
"Lin Mo, Shuang Mulin, the silent Mo." Lin Mo had a smile on his face, and the young policeman saw that there was indeed something wrong. The others were nervous and shaking all over, but this guy was so good that he could actually laugh at this time.
"Do you know the consequences of lying to the police?" the young policeman asked with a stern face.
Lin Mo didn't understand and looked innocent.
"Tell me, were you asleep?"
"I really fell asleep. I just wanted to tell you about the dream..." Lin Mo also heard that the other party didn't seem to believe what he said.
Before the young policeman could say anything, a middle-aged policeman came over and said coldly, "Think carefully. If you talk nonsense in this situation, you will be held responsible."
A pair of eyes with experience, as if they can see through everything.
Is Lin Mo the kind of person who can be fooled
joke.
He realized that these people didn't seem to believe what he said at all. He thought about it and decided to get straight to the point.
"In my dream, I saw a murderer who was executed two months ago. This incident was reported in newspapers and news. The man's name was Zhou Li..."
As he spoke, Lin Mo unfolded the newspaper he brought and pointed to the photo on it.
No one expected that this would actually stir up a hornet's nest.
The person closest to him saw the photo in the newspaper and immediately let out a scream.
"Yes, it's him..."
Fear seemed to be contagious. After seeing the photo of the skinny man in the newspaper, many of the survivors became even more frightened and terrified.
Some people were breathing rapidly, and one woman was so scared that she collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
Lin Mo and the three policemen were stunned and the situation was out of control for a while.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
At this time, a few people walked in from outside. The three policemen saw them and immediately stepped forward.
"Captain Liu!"
"Captain Liu, this is what happened..."
After listening to his subordinate's explanation, Team Leader Liu's eyes immediately fixed on Lin Mo.
Then, Team Leader Liu turned around and scolded the three policemen on the spot.
"I have told you many times that the nature of our work is different from before. We cannot rely solely on experience and immediately appease the residents. If something goes wrong, you three will be responsible."
After saying that, Team Leader Liu walked up to Lin Mo.
"Can you lend me a newspaper?"
Very polite attitude.
Lin Mo thought to himself that this was right. Either he was a leader or he had good qualities.
Handing over the newspaper, Team Leader Liu looked at the photo of the skinny man with a serious expression. After a while, he said to Lin Mo, "Let's talk."
The surviving residents here are all nervous and definitely cannot be talked about here.
After getting outside and finding a quiet room, Team Leader Liu called someone to take notes and then began to question people.
Lin Mo narrated calmly.
He had nothing to hide.
But there are also some fabricated contents in it, such as he said that he fell asleep accidentally because of sleepiness. In fact, it was not the case at all, he fell asleep on purpose, and now he is in good spirits.
But Lin Mo still described the situation in the dream in great detail.
Team Leader Liu was fine, but the young female police officer who was in charge of taking notes was gradually frightened by what Lin Mo said and her face turned pale.
Especially Lin Mo's description was vivid and colorful, even with gestures.
If others heard what he said, they would definitely think that Lin Mo was talking nonsense, but the members of Team Leader Liu's team all knew some of the inside story.
Especially when she heard Lin Mo talking about the pale ghost, she felt a cool breeze behind her and turned her head to look nervously.
"Pay attention." Team leader Liu frowned, and the little girl stuck out her tongue in fear.
Lin Mo pretended not to see it and continued talking.
“… And that murderer, he was the worst, he killed the most people… Later, he blocked me in the toilet, it was an emergency, if I hadn’t reacted quickly and rolled to avoid his knife, I would have been killed by him too.” Lin Mo’s narration was very vivid, even Team Leader Liu broke into a sweat when he thought of the scene at that time.
At this time he couldn't help but ask: "But I see you don't seem afraid?"
Lin Mo thought to himself, be more confident and get rid of it.
I'm not afraid at all, okay
Of course, he couldn't say that, as that would seem too arrogant, so Lin Mo used a more euphemistic approach.
"I have always been very courageous."
silence.
Team leader Liu is well-informed and doesn't believe this.
Brave
What are you bragging about!
He had seen truly brave people, but after experiencing the baptism of the nightmare world, they became terrified at the slightest disturbance and became extremely mentally fragile.
He even knew that the Special Security Bureau had conducted special explorations and experiments on that nightmare world, and every time, test subjects would die.
The testers who are selected are truly elite soldiers, but even so, even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will suffer extremely serious psychological trauma.
There are also many who have gone crazy.
The scariest thing is that once you enter the nightmare world, you can never return to normal.
It's like being marked.
Perhaps only death can truly get rid of this nightmare.
If you are not dead and not crazy, you have a chance to become an 'expert'.
Looking at the terms such as murderer, evil spirit, human-faced spider and charred corpse in the notebook, Team Leader Liu felt something magical.
Although he had applied to participate in the Security Bureau's "experiments" several times in a row, he had never been approved. Therefore, he had not experienced the nightmare world and could not judge whether what Lin Mo said was true or false.
But these things will ultimately be identified by 'experts'.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, thank you for your cooperation, you can go back and rest first." After asking all the questions, Team Leader Liu stood up. Although Lin Mo didn't find out anything, he still made his own contribution and was in a good mood.
Looking at Lin Mo's leaving back, Team Leader Liu thought to himself, if what this person said is true, then he is indeed a talented person.
After experiencing a nightmare that can scare a person to death or even drive a person crazy, he can still be so normal, even have such a good mentality, and speak in an organized and logical manner. This alone is not easy.
Thinking about this, Team Leader Liu said to the female police officer next to him, "Collate the contents of other people's stories and send them to Expert Chen immediately."
The policewoman nodded.
"Also, it has been confirmed by the higher-ups that the crisis has been resolved. Everyone should clean up the mess and go back to sleep."
After Team Leader Liu finished speaking, the policewoman looked excited.
"Captain Liu, are you telling the truth?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Great! Expert Chen is really amazing. With him here, this kind of thing will be a piece of cake."
Watching the policewoman walk out excitedly, Liu Jiang sighed.
He knew very well that things were not that simple.
