The night deepens.
The car was on the way back to the migratory bird base.
The driver drove quietly while Lin Mo looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Sometimes, a man's intuition may be even stronger than a woman's." Lin Mo muttered to himself at this time.
Before, he just exchanged a glance with Mr. Chu, and the other party could tell from his eyes that he was lying.
Similarly, when I suddenly got excited and asked a question before leaving, I could clearly see the change in the other person's eyes after hearing it. Although he didn't say anything in the end, I could tell that he was greatly shocked.
In fact, Lin Mo and the driver were driven out by Chu's mother.
Because from a normal person's perspective, Lin Mo was obviously there to cause trouble.
Not only does he lie and cheat, but he is also rubbing salt into other people's wounds. Who can tolerate that
But Lin Mo couldn't tell them directly.
I can't tell them that I saw their daughter in a nightmare world, and that their originally beautiful and kind daughter turned into a horrible evil spirit.
Then, they might go crazy.
Before leaving, Lin Mo left his phone number with them, but he felt that it was unlikely that Mr. and Mrs. Chu would call him.
It's getting dark.
Lin Mo plans to help Maomao get rid of the hide-and-seek evil ghost tonight, but he doesn't know whether he can succeed or not.
Give it a try.
Just treat it as a practice.
After what happened that day, Lin Mo knew very well that becoming a member of the Security Bureau's expert group would bring far more benefits than disadvantages to him at the moment.
In this case, we must take the initiative to improve our business capabilities in this area.
This time when entering the nightmare world, he may not encounter the pale ghost again, so Lin Mo needs other means to protect himself.
Therefore, the top priority tonight is to persuade the Pen Fairy Chu Yu.
Let her help herself.
Lin Mo is confident about what he has currently mastered. Although it is not 100% certain, it is more than 50%.
After returning to the migratory bird base, Lin Mo went to look for Maomao first.
The latter has begun to accept reality and behaves much calmer than before.
She also painted several paintings specifically for the occasion.
It was the appearance of the room she was in in the nightmare world.
Including that split-head ghost.
"Are you studying fine arts?" Lin Mo was a little surprised as he looked at the vivid sketches.
"Yes, academic, professional." Maomao added: "My original dream was to become an outstanding original painting designer in China, but now it seems that I may not live to see that time."
Maomao already has a clear understanding of the fate he will face next.
She was able to accept the reality relatively calmly and her mentality was strong. In fact, among the residents who were brought here in the same group, many had already collapsed.
After all, being told that as soon as they fall asleep they will enter a nightmare world and have to find ways to survive is hard for anyone to accept.
The peaceful and comfortable days are gone forever.
Lin Mo carefully wrote down the contents of Maomao's painting.
Maomao drew the sketch of the split-head ghost in great detail, and just as she had described before, this was a ghost with its head smashed into pieces.
Blood, brain matter and broken bones form the main structure of this picture.
Lin Mo felt that this ghost should not have much fighting power.
Apart from the split-headed ghost, the most valuable thing here is a painting of a window. Looking out of the window, you can see the vague outline of a building.
Although it was just an outline, Lin Mo thought it was very similar to the building he was in.
If they are the same one, then it means that the place where the cat is is facing the building where Lin Mo is. In this way, the scope is greatly narrowed.
At this time, the cat rubbed its eyes and couldn't help yawning.
Yesterday she couldn't help but sleep for a while, and then was discovered and woken up. She may have slept for less than an hour.
In this situation, the cat is physically and mentally exhausted.
Lin Mo had to hurry up.
"You hold on for another night. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will wake up before three in the morning. We can discuss countermeasures then."
Maomao nodded. At this time, she could only choose to trust Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's plan was also very simple. This time he had to find a way to deal with "Chu Yu" first. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he had to meet the split-headed ghost who was playing hide-and-seek.
The first choice is to kill the opponent; the second best is to lure this thing away; if that doesn’t work, find a way to figure out the pattern of this split-head ghost and then tell the cat.
This is just a preliminary plan, and there will definitely be variables during the implementation process, but for now, Lin Mo can only take it one step at a time.
After setting the alarm, Lin Mo lay directly on the bed.
Maomao next to him was a little nervous. He clenched his hands tightly together and muttered something, as if he was praying for Lin Mo.
At this moment, Lin Mo's cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Lin Mo thought of a possibility and immediately answered the call.
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is it... Lin Mo?"
Lin Mo smiled: "It's me, Uncle Chu."
The person who called was Chu Yu's father.
Apparently, it was the words Lin Mo said before he left that brought a huge shock to the other party. It was like a seed that would blossom and bear fruit sooner or later.
There was silence on the phone afterwards.
Lin Mo was not in a hurry either.
Waiting for each other quietly.
After a long while, Father Chu's voice came from the phone: "What did you mean by the last sentence you said?"
"It means exactly what it says." Lin Mo answered calmly, with a hint of meaning.
"What do you mean by literal meaning? Tell me clearly, what exactly are you going to do?" Father Chu was now in a state of extreme excitement, and he could even vaguely hear Mother Chu's consolation on the other end of the phone.
Lin Mo didn't want to provoke him anymore.
But there is not much more to say.
He has said enough. Chen Bing told him that at this stage everything about the nightmare world is absolutely confidential and must not be disclosed to the public.
If the rules are violated, even the official members of the expert group will be held responsible, not to mention Lin Mo, the substitute.
There was another silence.
Just when Lin Mo thought that the other party had hung up the phone, a trembling voice sounded, and it could be heard that Father Chu was crying.
He spoke the next words in a crying voice.
"If you can hear me, Xiaoyu, Dad wants to say, don't worry about me and your mom, we are doing well. The Green Knight you left behind is now over a foot tall, and it even bloomed a while ago, it's very beautiful; Marshmallow has grown up too, but it missed you too much, so it stayed at home and wouldn't eat anything, so it had to be fostered at your uncle's house; by the way, Dad can also play games... but he's not very good at it."
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, Daddy didn't protect you well. It's Daddy's fault..."
I can't hear the rest of the words clearly.
Hearing these words, Lin Mo was also quite touched. Perhaps, the father had been holding it in for too long, and at this moment he spoke out all his thoughts.
After saying this, Mr. Chu's mood obviously calmed down a lot.
"I was completely bewildered. I actually believed you. I actually thought Xiaoyu could hear it."
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Nothing is absolute in this world. Uncle Chu, it's late. Go to bed early."
After saying that, Lin Mo hung up the phone.
I didn’t expect to have such a big harvest this time.
Lin Mo felt that with Uncle Chu's confession, he had a better chance of convincing the Pen Fairy Chu Yu.
He has a good memory and wrote down almost word for word what the other party said just now.
After lying down, Lin Mo said to the cat beside him: "At three o'clock in the morning, if the alarm rings and I am not awake, find a way to wake me up. If there is any other accident, go find Team Leader Liu and Doctor Song to come over."
Maomao nodded quickly.
Everything was ready, Lin Mo closed his eyes.
After being marked by the nightmare world, Lin Mo discovered one thing.
That means there will no longer be such a thing as insomnia.
He can fall asleep anytime he wants.
In less than a minute, Lin Mo fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I had entered a nightmare world.
Still in the community, I looked at the building not far away. The fire had been extinguished, but the entire building had been burned beyond recognition. Some parts had even collapsed, and it was a mess.
Under the gray fog, there was still some thick smoke coming out of the ruins, and there was a suffocating silence.
Lin Mo had no intention of getting closer.
Who knows what other ghost things have not been burned to death? At least those horrible charred corpses must still be alive.
Last time, if Lin Mo hadn’t had that knife in his hand, he might have been killed by the charred corpse.
If we were to rank the various nightmares we have encountered, the horror and danger of those charred corpses might even be higher than that of the murderer Zhou Li.
Lin Mo knew the purpose of his trip. He first looked down behind him.
The pale ghost disappeared as expected.
Just like last time, as long as Lin Mo wakes up in the real world, he will disappear from the nightmare world, and the pale ghost will leave on its own because it cannot possess him.
To be honest, Lin Mo was a little uncomfortable without the pale ghost.
Moreover, if the pale ghost is there, it will be easier to persuade the Pen Fairy 'Chu Yu' without worrying that she will suddenly turn hostile and attack, which will provide an extra insurance.
At this moment, Lin Mo heard footsteps in the darkness around him.
Faintly, you can hear some whispers and roars.
Lin Mo knew that this was a nightmare wandering outside. According to Chen Bing, pollution sources would trigger nightmare events, and everyone who entered the nightmare world would bring a nightmare formed by their fear.
It is said that this time more than a hundred people were drawn into the nightmare world, and correspondingly, an equal number of nightmares existed.
Lin Mo knew that his current situation was very dangerous.
The reason why he was able to move freely before was largely due to the pale ghost.
Now that the pale ghost is gone, Lin Mo can only rely on himself.
The footsteps around were getting closer and closer, and the darkness that followed gradually swallowed up the surrounding space, like a reef eroded by sea water. Lin Mo's safe space was constantly being compressed.
Lin Mo calmly took out the lighter he had snatched from the charred corpse, then exerted force with his fingers and lit a small flame.
The light instantly tore through the darkness.
At that moment, Lin Mo saw more than a dozen terrifying monsters around him. Some had more than a dozen eyes and sharp teeth; some were like soft-bodied animals, walking on human skulls; and some held sharp knives and wore pale bone masks.
They are already close at hand.
However, under the light of the flames, these nightmares were immediately frightened and scattered away.
But they didn't leave. Instead, they wandered a few meters away, watching and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
In addition to starting a fire, another use of a lighter is to dispel darkness and to a certain extent deter nightmares.
But its deterrent power is obviously not as strong as that of the pale ghost.
A normal person would have panicked in this situation, but Lin Mo calmly took out a pencil and a blood-stained diary. The diary in particular was filled with a very strong resentment that also had the power to shock nightmares.
Lin Mo planned to summon the Pen Fairy Chu Yu immediately.
If she insisted on writing him to death, then she would have to overturn the table. However, Lin Mo felt that there was still a great possibility that he and the other party could reach an agreement.
If there is no table, sit on the floor, put your diary on the floor, grab a pencil, stretch your arm out, and place the tip of the pen on the paper.
Lin Mo still held the lighter in his other hand.
If the fire cannot be extinguished, the nightmares around may still rush up.
Close your eyes and begin to call.
"Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, are you there?"
This time, just after asking the question, Lin Mo suddenly felt his hand being tightly grasped by a small hand.
Ice cold.
This time it came quickly, but the problem was that the hand seemed to be reaching out from behind him.
Lin Mo opened his eyes and saw that it was true.
The Pen Fairy was actually behind him. One hand reached out to grab his hand, and the other hand grabbed Lin Mo's hand holding the lighter.
Two legs, wrapped around the waist.
She lay on top of Lin Mo.
A huge force was transmitted from his wrist, and Lin Mo broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.
The lighter fell to the ground and the flame went out.
"Why don't you play by the rules?"
Lin Mo didn't expect that this time the Pen Fairy would appear in this way.
Are you afraid that you will run away
Now she was completely pressed against Lin Mo's back, and the chilliness she exuded was no less than that of the pale ghost.
The long black hair stained with blood fell down and landed on Lin Mo's head and face. It was estimated that if Lin Mo raised his head now, he would be able to look her in a friendly manner.
Lin Mo looked up curiously.
As expected, what he saw was a face covered in blood, face to face with Lin Mo. The other person's eyes were pale, and he stared at Lin Mo with suffocating malice.
There was something wrong with the Pen Fairy's aura now. His resentment and malice were even stronger, and the smell of blood was even more pungent.
We can't delay any longer.
Lin Mo stared into the other person's eyes and immediately said, "Xiao Yu, your parents asked me to bring you a message."
