When Song Qian heard Lin Mo's question, a hint of subtle mockery flashed in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "That's just an illusion. The expert group has conducted a very detailed study on nightmares and concluded that nightmares are just a combination of the dreamer's fear and certain memories."
"There are no real ghosts in this world."
There was a sense of authority and unquestionableness in Song Qian's tone.
Lin Mo smiled and didn't argue with her.
After all, relying solely on the contents of a diary and one's own intuition is not very convincing.
Lin Mo prefers to find the answers himself.
Then he asked about how to strengthen oneself in the nightmare world. Song Qian was surprised after hearing it.
"There are no specific rules for this kind of thing. Experience in reality cannot be applied to the nightmare world. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few members of the expert group. Each expert has his or her own rules of survival. So I can't answer this question."
After saying this, the aloof queen's face was full of doubt.
She doubted Lin Mo's ability even more.
The other party might just be lucky to survive in the nightmare world.
Lin Mo had nothing else to ask.
Although he had learned more about nightmares, he had not received any hints about what he really cared about.
However, Chen Bing had said before that using the power of nightmares to fight nightmares was a hint. The reason why Lin Mo was able to survive was initially because of the deterrent power of the pale ghost.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to pass the level with the human-faced spider.
"Thank you, Dr. Song."
Lin Mo stood up and said goodbye.
Lin Mo could sense that the other party obviously disliked him.
Next, Lin Mo planned to find the answer by himself, but before that, he had to talk to Maomao first.
She is still waiting for herself.
Mao Mao, along with other survivors, was isolated in a special area, and they had been told some basic information about the nightmare world.
The Security Bureau has a complete set of rules and regulations on this point.
Those who have come into contact with the nightmare world can no longer escape from it, so there is no other way but to face it head-on.
The Security Bureau also hopes to produce more "experts" to deal with the nightmare crisis that will gradually explode.
Among the survivors, most will die in the nightmare world, and only those who can truly survive on their own are qualified to become experts.
From the moment you step into the nightmare world, your life has changed.
There's no going back to the past.
When she saw Maomao, her expression was a little dull. When she saw Lin Mo, her eyes regained some spirit.
"Lin Shen, is what they said true?"
Lin Mo nodded.
Maybe because it has collapsed before, the cat’s ability to withstand stress is much stronger now than before.
"So, what should I do?"
Lin Mo sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Learn as much as you can about the nightmare world. Don't underestimate any detail, as it may be a life-saving straw. Also, remember carefully where you are in the nightmare world. I will come to find you when the time comes."
A person's power is limited, and Lin Mo cannot help everyone, but he can still help just one person.
"I'm going out to do something now and will be back later. Remember, stay calm at all times and don't be scared. It's like you're playing a horror game."
Lin Mo shared some of his own experiences.
As for how much the other party can understand, it depends on the cat's luck.
After making an agreement with Maomao, Lin Mo left the Security Bureau.
Just as Chen Bing said, with the work permit of the reserve expert, he had a smooth journey.
There was even a special driver to take him out.
Sitting in the back seat of the black Audi, watching the scenery passing quickly outside the window, steady and quiet, Lin Mo had an unreal feeling.
But then again, the privileges of the expert group are really good.
Lin Mo asked the driver to drive the car to the Sanqiao District Police Station.
Because he wants to investigate an old case.
The driver looked outside and whispered, "Team Leader Liu and the director of the Sanqiao District Police Department are acquaintances. Do you want to tell Team Leader Liu?"
Lin Mo shook his head.
It's just a small matter, so don't bother others.
After entering the hall, Lin Mo directly told the police officer in charge of reception that he wanted to see the director.
"What can I do for you?"
The police officer who received us was very polite.
Lin Mo didn't waste any words and put the certificate on the table.
"Give this to your chief."
When the police officer saw how arrogant this man was, he stopped looking down on him, picked up his ID, looked at it, then turned around and made a phone call.
"Director Xu, there's someone in the hall who wants to see you. Yes, it's a young man. His ID says, Special Security Bureau, alternate member of the expert group, Lin Mo... Oh, you want to come down, okay, okay."
The police officer who was receiving the call put down the phone, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Mo was different from before.
"Please sit down for a moment. Director Xu will be down soon."
Lin Mo nodded.
It seems that this certificate is not only useful within the Security Bureau, but also outside.
This feels very good. I have never received such treatment when I worked here before.
Less than a minute after waiting, a middle-aged policeman ran down.
"Who is Mr. Lin?"
"Yes." After Lin Mo finished speaking, the other party came over and shook his hand enthusiastically: "Welcome Expert Lin to the Sanqiao Branch to guide the work. If you have anything to say, let's go to my office to talk."
Lin Mo nodded.
The driver stayed in the lobby while Lin Mo and Director Xu went up to the office on the third floor.
The other party looked at Lin Mo's work permit carefully, then handed it back with both hands.
"Expert Lin came to see me, there must be something. Just tell me, I will definitely cooperate."
It can be seen that Director Xu knows the Special Security Bureau.
"I want to investigate a case." Lin Mo went straight to the point.
"Murder case?" Director Xu was also a decisive person, with a serious expression on his face.
"It's a murder case, but it may not be a homicide. It should be an accidental death. The deceased is a female student. Her surname is Chu, but I don't know her name. By the way, among the people involved in this case, there is a person named Hu Lingling." Lin Mo told the information in the blood-stained diary.
He came here to investigate this matter.
Hu Lingling is dead.
But Lin Mo felt that the Pen Fairy 'Chu' was not something Hu Lingling imagined.
She might really exist.
Because the pen fairy 'Chu' wrote this in his diary.
Fear opened the door to revenge for her.
The reason why he went to so much trouble to check this was because Lin Mo felt that Chu might be able to be used by him. Chen Bing said that in the nightmare world, no matter how strong a person is, he is just an ant, and nightmare is the real "master" of that world.
The rule of survival in the nightmare world is to borrow the power of nightmares.
Moreover, after reading the diary, Lin Mo felt that Hu Lingling had brought it upon herself, and that the girl "Chu" was really pitiful and innocent.
She died an innocent and tragic death, so it's understandable that she feels angry and resentful, and it's human nature.
Lin Mo wanted to know more about her.
He thought that maybe he could become friends with "Chu". After all, relying on that pale ghost alone was not particularly reliable, so he had to find a new backer.
