Don’t want to sleep
This request is indeed strange.
"God Lin, when I encountered this situation, I wanted to discuss it with you first. After all, we are all from Migrant Bird City. Tell me, could it be that something serious has really happened? Please analyze it for me so that I can prepare in advance."
Maomao drank a drink and stretched out on the sofa.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "There are too few clues, and there is nothing to analyze. However, at present, if someone really died, it is nothing more than homicide, accident, or natural death. From the video you posted before, it doesn't look like homicide, but it doesn't look like natural death either, so it must be an accident..."
While speaking, Lin Mo remained absolutely calm.
He really didn't feel any fear or nervousness.
"As for what the accident was, the police must know something, but they concealed it from you for fear of causing unnecessary panic. I suggest you follow the advice, lock the door, don't go out, and don't sleep."
Maomao nodded. "I thought so too. But to be honest, more than a dozen people died in my neighborhood all of a sudden, and we don't know the reason yet. I was really scared, so I contacted you. When I played horror games before, I could only get through places after watching your videos and explanations. Master Lin, you are the bravest and most skilled gamer I have ever seen."
"But it happened at this time today in Migrant Bird City, which is close to where you live. Aren't you really afraid?" Maomao asked again in disbelief.
Lin Mo was a little sleepy, and was afraid that she would keep asking him questions, so he said against his will: I'm scared too.
"That's what I said. By the way, Mr. Lin, do you want to play together tonight?" Maomao wrinkled his eyebrows, looking expectant.
Lin Mo shook his head expressionlessly: "If you don't sleep, I still have to sleep. Let's not talk anymore. There should be news about your community tomorrow. Be careful not to fall asleep."
"Okay then, good night." Maomao was a little reluctant.
Lin Mo hung up the video decisively.
At this moment, he remembered the expression of the dead man in the video just now, which was indeed very strange.
"Not allowing residents to go out does make it possible to hunt down criminals, but not allowing them to sleep is a bit strange..." Lin Mo touched his chin out of habit.
After turning off the computer, Lin Mo walked to the window and looked at the night scene outside.
From his angle, he can see Sanqiao Street and the Lvyuan community over there.
The straight-line distance is less than three hundred meters.
Stop thinking about things you can’t figure out, turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Because of work these days, Lin Mo didn't get enough sleep, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
And this time is exactly midnight.
…
Blood, blood everywhere, as if everything was soaked in blood.
The blood quickly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
Lin Mo was looking at the unfamiliar room in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.
"Where is this?"
The house looked like it had been in a fire. The furniture was turned to charcoal, the walls were all blackened, and there was a stench of something burning in the air.
Lin Mo shook his head. He clearly remembered that he was lying on the bed and had just fallen asleep when he came here.
When I walked out of the room, I saw the living room which had also been burned. Looking at the layout of the house, it was definitely not a place where I would live.
Look out the window.
Lin Mo saw the Lvyuan community, which seemed different from what he usually saw, but he couldn't tell what was different.
That's right.
It's distance.
The distance between the two communities was even closer, less than a hundred meters at this moment. It was as if a mysterious force had pulled the two communities together out of thin air.
However, the buildings in the Lvyuan community looked extremely dilapidated, with only a few households having lights on. Looking around, it was pitch black, with the exception of the outlines of some buildings.
That darkness is a bit like the fog of war in the game.
At this moment, a sudden scream from outside broke the silence.
Lin Mo immediately turned around, walked to the door, pushed it open and walked out.
There is a long corridor outside.
There was a light in the distance, but it flickered, making the dim and dilapidated corridor look even more eerie.
Lin Mo's heart was calm, he just observed carefully.
The corridor looked like the corridors from more than a decade ago, and had been baptized by time. There were bloody handprints on the walls, some of which had turned dark brown, and it was unknown how long they had been there, but some were very fresh, as if they had just been printed.
There are also some scratches of varying depths.
Lin Mo walked forward. By now, he was sure that this was not the residential building where he lived, but he was still in pajamas and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
So far, Lin Mo still hasn't figured out the situation.
There was a staircase in front of him. Lin Mo walked over and looked inside, his expression changed slightly.
At the stairs, there was a person lying.
Go over and check it out.
This was a man about thirty years old, already dead, his body covered in blood. The most fatal wound was a knife wound on his neck. Someone had used a sharp weapon to pierce his neck directly from right to left.
In addition, the man's belly was cut open, his internal organs were emptied, and his left ear was cut off.
A real bloody scene, a smell of blood rushed into the nose.
This is more real than any horror game or weird story.
"The murderer hasn't gone far." Lin Mo squatted down to check. The man had just died not long ago, but the scream he heard just now was not from this person.
The time doesn't match.
In other words, there are others here besides yourself.
In addition, Lin Mo discovered something that made him feel that the problem was very serious.
He had seen the deceased.
He is his neighbor, living on the same floor. They always say hello when they meet.
How could my neighbor be killed here in such a cruel way
The neighbor's expression was terrified, and he had obviously experienced extreme shock and pain before his death. Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and reached out to wipe the blood off the other person's face.
The neighbor's distorted and terrified expression before he died was very similar to the expression of the deceased seen in the video before.
"Could it be that that person died in the same way? But the other party did not have any fatal injuries..."
"Maomao said that the police warned her not to sleep. I didn't understand what this sentence meant before. Now I think it may be because it is dangerous only after falling asleep. After falling asleep, people will dream. If they die in a dream, they will also die in reality?"
Lin Mo was squatting beside a disemboweled corpse, thinking. The main reason was that he had fallen asleep and arrived here in an instant, so the only explanation was that he might be dreaming.
This was a bold speculation of his.
There are many things that cannot be explained. If it was a dream, then you would do your thing and I would do mine without interfering with each other. But in this situation, I actually encountered a neighbor who was killed.
Or is it that all this is just a nightmare
But Lin Mo has never had a nightmare since he was a child.
It is impossible for a person who has no sense of fear at all to have nightmares.
But if we assume that this is someone else's nightmare, then it makes sense.
The sharing economy has been popular for several years, but can something like nightmares also be shared
"Let's assume this is a shared dream. I fell asleep, so I came in. The same thing happened to my neighbor, but he was unlucky and was killed..."
"That is to say, there are at least three people in this building right now."
"Me, my neighbor brother, and the murderer." Lin Mo counted on his fingers.
"Also, according to the death incident that occurred in the Green Garden Community and the police's warning, does it mean that if I die in this dream, I will also die in reality?"
Lin Mo took a look at the neighbor brother. He was not weak in physique. He was in his thirties and in the prime of life. Yet he died in such a tragic way, with his chest almost cut open by a knife.
This shows that the murderer is extremely strong.
In addition, the opponent had a knife in his hand, so no matter who he was, he would have no chance of winning if he met him alone and unarmed.
"So, it's like a survival game. The main goal is to survive, which means you can't run into the killer. All you can do is hide and run away."
Lin Mo looked at the dark staircase.
The neighbor brother probably wanted to go downstairs, but unfortunately he met the killer here and was killed.
"I just walked through this floor and didn't meet anyone else. This means the killer is not on this floor. He must have gone up or down."
Just at this moment, a scream was heard from upstairs.
"He's upstairs."
Lin Mo went downstairs without saying anything.
As he was going down, Lin Mo muttered, "It seems that there are quite a few people entering the shared dream."
The screaming continued for a while, then stopped abruptly.
No matter who it is, he will probably end up like the neighbor brother.
It’s not that Lin Mo didn’t think about saving people, but just as he analyzed before, even if he went there, it would be no different from giving away his life.
Go all the way down from the seventh floor to the third floor.
Just at this moment, Lin Mo saw movement at the stairs in front.
In front of us, there seemed to be a layer of black fog, covering the road that we had to pass through. The stairs going down seemed to be swallowed up by the black fog, and only their outlines could be vaguely seen.
The most creepy thing is that there seem to be several people hanging in this layer of black fog, swaying slowly.
Looking closely, it really is a human.
There were both men and women, and it looked like there were seven or eight of them.
A normal person would not dare to go any further after seeing this situation.
But at this time Lin Mo heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.
In all likelihood, it was the killer who came.
So he didn't hesitate and walked straight into the black fog.
It doesn’t matter if the visibility is poor, at most you can just walk slower.
At this time Lin Mo could see clearly that the corpses around him all had hemp ropes tied around their necks. They were all hanged to death. Their deaths were horrible. Some of their cervical vertebrae had been broken, their necks were deformed by the force of the bodies falling, and their tongues were sticking out very long.
This scene is hard to describe.
Lin Mo calmly stretched out his hand and pushed away a pale and purple foot that was blocking his way. There was no other way. He couldn't move forward without pushing it away. There were too many corpses. Even so, he had to bump into this thigh and that foot.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt his leg suddenly grabbed by a hand.
If it were someone else, they would definitely scream in fright at this moment.
But Lin Mo's reaction was extremely calm, he just looked down.
There was a person squatting right next to the stairs.
It's a living person.
The hand that the other person was holding on to was shaking at this moment. It was obvious that he was in extreme fear.
This was a woman, and Lin Mo had also seen her before. She seemed to live on the fourth floor. He would occasionally meet her when he went up and down the stairs. She was pretty, but now, her face was full of tears and pale with fear. She grabbed Lin Mo's trouser legs, and her face was full of pleading.
Lin Mo wanted to ask, but the other party made a gesture to keep quiet.
The implication is that you can't speak.
Lin Mo nodded. Although he didn't know what had happened here, the woman was obviously frightened to the point that her legs were weak and she couldn't walk, so he reached out and helped her up.
The two of them went downstairs in silence and in tacit understanding, but the woman's body was very weak. If Lin Mo hadn't supported her, she probably wouldn't have been able to walk a step.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt his ear a little itchy, as if something had fallen on it. He looked sideways and saw it was a clump of hair.
Almost at the same time, a very strange laugh sounded from behind.
Hearing this voice, the woman in Lin Mo's arms immediately trembled with fear, as if she had been electrified. Looking at her carefully, her eyes were full of fear, and she winked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo noticed that she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, trying not to scream.
Clearly, this is a person trying very hard to overcome his fear.
However, Lin Mo, who had no idea what fear was, turned his head and took a look without saying a word.
Behind him was a female ghost hanged by a hemp rope.
His hair was disheveled, his tongue was sticking out, his eyes were bulging, there were two lines of blood and tears on his face, and he had a weird smile on his face. He looked extremely terrifying.
Anyone seeing this scene would scream in horror.
The female ghost seemed to be waiting for the other party to shout, but Lin Mo's reaction afterwards not only stunned the woman he was supporting, but also stunned the female ghost opposite.
Lin Mo smiled at the female ghost, turned around and supported the shaking woman, slowly went downstairs, then calmly walked to the second floor, leaving the black fog area full of hanged ghosts.
The woman in his arms saw this scene clearly.
She even accidentally caught a glimpse of the astonishment on the face of the scary female ghost, and she actually seemed to be doubting her life.
