The Apocalypse Begins with a Nightmare

Chapter 17: Not forced at all

Views:

"I volunteered to join the panel."

"It won't be too hard, will it?"

"How could that be? It is my honor to work with Expert Chen."

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing that you have this idea, but let me tell you in advance that my authority can only be used for recommendation. Whether it will work in the end still needs to be reviewed by the Security Bureau. However, it shouldn't be a big problem. We are extremely short of talents in this field right now, so you have a great chance."

After saying that, Chen Bing stood up.

Lin Mo also quickly stood up.

"I've written down your phone number and will contact you when I have news."

"Excuse me, Expert Chen."

Lin Mo smiled and stood up to say goodbye.

When he got outside, the smile on Lin Mo's face collapsed and turned into a bitter face.

He just agreed to join the Security Bureau.

It’s not that Lin Mo suddenly changed his mind, but he had no choice, he was forced.

Because if you don't join, the result will be isolation like the other residents who were brought here.

Lin Mo definitely knew much more about nightmare events than others. For example, he learned from Chen Bing that anyone who entered the nightmare world once would never be able to escape from it.

It's like being haunted by some evil spirit.

As long as you fall asleep, you will inevitably enter the world of nightmares.

Because of this, those residents who couldn't help falling asleep and entered the nightmare world were actually unable to escape the nightmare world. The Security Bureau brought them back, saying it was for treatment, but in fact it was a certain degree of isolation.

According to Chen Bing, the fate of these people is already determined.

Most people have no choice but to die.

After all, not everyone can become an "expert" and survive nightmares again and again.

Moreover, even if experts came to rescue, it would be useless because it is impossible to mobilize expert teams to rescue ordinary people every time, especially when the number is so large.

Basically, they can only rely on themselves.

In this matter, we have to return to the original law of survival of the fittest.

This is also a way to create "experts".

Just like Chen Bing, he was accidentally involved in the nightmare incident seven months ago, survived with his own abilities, and was then recruited into the Security Bureau's expert group.

If Lin Mo doesn't join, he won't be able to act freely.

In this case, is there still a need to choose

Outside the room, Team Leader Liu had been waiting for quite a while. Lin Mo knew that it was Chen Bing who called him over to help him get a temporary work permit.

After all, Lin Mo is now a substitute member of the expert group.

Team leader Liu was very efficient. In less than ten minutes, he filled out the form, entered it into the system, and Lin Mo received a brand new certificate.

"This is a certificate from the Special Security Bureau. With this, you can enter and exit the Security Bureau's office. In addition, the local police systems and even the military system have the right to deploy in special circumstances. However, if you really want to mobilize the military, you need to notify the General Administration for record."

Lin Mo was obviously frightened.

The right to mobilize the police and the army

That’s quite impressive.

However, I always feel that this process is a bit too hasty.

Perhaps seeing Lin Mo's confusion, Team Leader Liu said, "Mr. Lin, you are new to this and don't understand the situation. The authority of the expert group is much greater than you think. One of them is the recruitment privilege. In fact, those who can join the Security Bureau are elites selected from hundreds or thousands of people. Your situation is indeed a special case."

Lin Mo nodded.

However, he felt that there seemed to be a hint of resentment in Team Leader Liu's words.

It turns out that the identities of the alternate members of the expert group are indeed extraordinary.

Lin Mo could access more "confidential" information about the nightmare incident. Team leader Liu took him to an archive room, which was also what Chen Bing had instructed him to do.

An hour later.

Lin Mo put down the stack of information in his hand, and he had a deeper understanding of the nightmare incident.

As of now, from the time the first nightmare incident occurred to the present, the situation not only in China but also in the world has been gradually deteriorating. As time goes by, the number of nightmare events has almost doubled.

According to the index forecast given by data analysts, if the current situation continues to grow, more than half of the world's regions will be caught up in nightmare events in a year.

The death toll may reach hundreds of millions by then.

This is no joke. There may be some places that can be spared, but public opinion at that time will be impossible to control.

And this is the beginning of the end of mankind.

"No wonder Chen Bing has such high authority. At present, only the experts can deal with the spread of nightmares." Lin Mo understood.

He realized that his previous idea of keeping out of trouble was too naive.

When the doomsday really comes, if you are still an ordinary person, the final result can only be to be ravaged by fate.

Figured it out.

Lin Mo pushed the door open and went out to find Chen Bing.

The reason why the expert group can move freely in and out of the nightmare world and solve some nightmare pollution source incidents is that they must have some special abilities.

As a professional gamer, Lin Mo knows this very well.

So he wanted to ask the other party how to strengthen his own methods.

What he didn't expect was that Chen Bing left.

Just half an hour ago.

"The General Administration has a new mission, so Expert Chen left on a special plane. But when he left, he said, 'If you have any questions, you can ask me.'"

The one who spoke was Dr. Song, who looked like a cold queen. She was wearing a white coat, her hair was tied up, and she wore glasses. She had fair skin and a very tall figure, and a pair of high heels showed off her tall figure to the fullest.

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Song Qian. I work for the General Administration's Academy of Sciences. I specialize in studying nightmares. I have a PhD in psychiatry and virology."

After saying that, he reached out his hand.

Lin Mo looked at the other person's shiny white hand, then reached out and shook hands with the other person.

Looking at the ordinary Lin Mo in front of her, Song Qian felt sorry for Team Leader Liu.

You know, Team Leader Liu is an elite among the special police, impeccable in every aspect, but his applications for tests were rejected several times.

And how could Lin Mo achieve success overnight

He actually got the recommendation of expert Chen, and even used his recruiting privileges to recruit the other party into the reserve expert group.

This is a joke.

But that was the fact, and it was useless for her to feel dissatisfied.

Next, she explained nightmares from a very professional perspective.

"Based on current research results, nightmares are the projection of human fears into the nightmare world." Song Qian gave an analogy: "For example, if a person is afraid of insects, then his nightmares are likely to be some scary insects... If a person is afraid of ghosts, then his nightmares are all kinds of scary ghosts..."

Lin Mo nodded.

He has seen both insects and ghosts.

"Then, what about the murderer?" Lin Mo asked.

"It's the same." Song Qian took out a piece of material at this time: "But this one is a little special. In the cases I have come across, some nightmare killers are imagined out of thin air, and some exist in reality. Especially some victims who have experienced real homicides, because of psychological trauma, they often form psychological fears, so similar nightmares will occur in the nightmare world."

"For example, Zhou Li in the nightmare world is just a projection of fear in the hearts of the survivors of the murder case. He is not the real Zhou Li. The real Zhou Li has died long ago."

After Song Qian finished speaking, Lin Mo nodded.

"Then, is it possible that the dead people become nightmares in the nightmare world because of the fear of others?" Lin Mo asked this because he thought of Zhou Li, the skinny man's last look at him.

That look is so real.

Lin Mo could even understand what the other person was thinking at that time.

In addition, the blood-stained diary that Lin Mo obtained contained the diaries of Hu Lingling and the Pen Fairy 'Chu'. If it was only about Hu Lingling, it would be understandable, but in the diary, there was clearly also the diary of the Pen Fairy 'Chu'.

How do you explain this
