What comes into view is a narrow corridor, and on both sides are cells that look like prison cells.
There are eight sturdy cells in total.
The second floor of the basement was dark, dirty, and filled with a foul odor.
That was the smell of a rotting corpse.
Even wearing a protective mask is useless.
One member of the action team couldn't stand it anymore and ran out to vomit.
Even Team Leader Liu was trying to suppress the churning in his stomach.
In the nightmare world, Lin Mo was no longer surprised by this smell, so his reaction was the most indifferent.
A body was found in the first cell.
It should be an old man, tied to an operating table, and all around him were various hand-painted pictures. Lin Mo recognized it at a glance.
The figure depicted in the painting is the ghost in the wedding dress.
The painting style is also weird.
Different angles show the appearance of the female ghost in all directions, as well as her skinning method and the terrifying haunted house.
It's like forcing the person on the bed to watch.
The cell door is locked and I can't get in for the time being.
Lin Mo looked at the old man who had obviously been dead for several days, and a guess came to his mind. He immediately walked towards other cells.
Except for two empty cells, the other five cells were occupied.
There were two places where old people were also imprisoned. Their deaths were horrific and their expressions were as if they had really seen a ghost, with their eyes almost popping out.
Similarly, the bodies of the two old men were surrounded by portraits of the female ghost in wedding dresses.
As for the other three people, they were not that old, and the difference was that there were no pictures hanging in their cells. But each of these three people was covered with scars, and it was obvious that they had been subjected to inhuman abuse.
It was probably the first time that Team Leader Liu had seen such a scene, and he was so shocked that he was speechless.
The most important thing is that this place is too weird. Why do they have to lock people up and do these things
Team leader Liu didn't know, but Lin Mo had a guess.
The action team members found a bunch of keys hidden in the basement. They took them down and tried them one by one, and they opened the door.
At this time, Lin Mo suddenly said: "Everyone get out, I suspect there are pollutants here."
Everyone else shuddered.
Team leader Liu reacted and immediately ordered everyone to stand by outside.
"Expert Lin, I'll accompany you." Team Leader Liu walked over with a hint of determination in his tone.
Lin Mo knew that Team Leader Liu had long wanted to apply for the expert training program, but the Security Bureau had not approved it. However, if someone accidentally came into contact with pollutants during a mission and was marked with a nightmare, then it would be a done deal.
Lin Mo glanced at the other party and said, "Team Leader Liu, are you really ready? Don't get me wrong, I just want to tell you that being able to have a good night's sleep is already a luxury for people like us. If you are really willing to give up everything and are ready to face the fear in your heart, then I won't stop you. Otherwise, I suggest you wait outside."
Team leader Liu and Lin Mo looked at each other.
After thinking for a moment, he turned and left.
As the leader of the Security Bureau's operations team, he also has some authority and knows a lot about the nightmare world.
He was naturally aware of the mortality rate after entering the nightmare world.
Even for the elites carefully selected by the Security Bureau, the mortality rate on first contact is over 70 percent.
In fact, only one in ten people can survive the first three nightmare encounters. Anyone who can survive more than three times has basically found a survival method that suits them.
Of course, even so, it cannot be said to be completely safe.
Sometimes, even some experienced and senior experts die unexpectedly.
Just as Lin Mo said, people who are marked with nightmares will never have a peaceful sleep again, because every time they fall asleep, it is equivalent to playing a game with the god of death, and every time they fall asleep, there is a possibility that they will never wake up again.
Once, Team Leader Liu thought he was well prepared, but the more he understood the nightmare world, the more he realized that the previous preparations were actually not enough.
Team leader Liu retreated outside, and Lin Mo was the only one left on the second floor of the basement.
He walked into the first cell.
I couldn't see it clearly from outside before, but after I came in, I found that there was a small screen installed above the bed, about ten inches in size, but it was off at the moment.
If nothing unexpected happens, the horror video should have been playing on this screen before.
Video is the source of pollution.
Lin Mo continued to look at the pictures hanging around the bed, each of which was vivid. In addition, there were some printed papers with the same content as the diary that Lin Mo found before.
A strange story about a ghost girl in a wedding dress.
The above description is even more absurd and weird, and can even be regarded as a horror novel.
Seeing this, Lin Mo felt that his previous speculation should be correct.
This is a man-made 'nightmare'.
As expected, these old people were all the same, they were found from that remote mountain village. These people had heard about the strange story about the female ghost in the wedding dress since they were young. In fact, the female ghost has been the source of lingering fear in their hearts since they were young.
In order to deepen their memory and sense of fear, some people deliberately let them watch ghost stories, and combined with these hand-painted female ghost patterns, the original horror stories were made more concrete.
In this way, they were infected by pollutants and entered the nightmare world, and naturally the nightmare of the wedding dress ghost was born.
“It turns out that this is where the female ghost came from.”
Lin Mo muttered to himself.
It should be Zhao Xin who did it.
Lin Mo also knew the purpose of the other party's doing this. First, it was to create a horrible nightmare, and then find a way to control the other party and strengthen his power in the nightmare world.
But how does Zhao Xin know so much
Lin Mo had an idea at this time.
It's the Evolution Forum!
It must be the Evolution Forum. Zhao Xin is an old member of the forum. Most likely, he learned all these things from there.
Lin Mo didn’t know anything else, but he was sure of one thing now.
The members of that underworld forum are a bunch of evil, mentally ill, anti-human perverts.
Well, except myself.
Didn't Team Leader Liu say that Zhou Li was also a frequent visitor to that website? Maybe the perverted murderer Zhou Li was also a member of this forum.
At this time, some broken clues began to gradually be connected together.
"When I have time, I will definitely read through the previous posts on that forum."
Lin Mo made up his mind.
Go see the other three bodies.
Two men and one woman.
First look at the woman. She is only wearing dirty underwear. There is almost no intact skin on her body. Her neck is locked with an iron chain. She is already dead.
But it seems that he didn't die for long.
There was a TV screen in her cell, on which the horrific video was playing.
Seeing this, Lin Mo picked up a stool and smashed the screen.
There were many wounds on the woman's body, and it was obvious that she had been imprisoned and tortured for a long time, but she was not killed.
There were no fatal injuries.
It was like dying in a nightmare.
Lin Mo's eyelids jumped and he immediately rushed into another cell. There was a young man in the cell who, like the woman, had died not long ago.
Same TV, same horrific videos, same torture and captivity.
Lin Mo already knew what was going on, and he rushed into the last cell.
There was a middle-aged man here. Lin Mo first smashed the TV that was playing the video to pieces, then went to check on the man to see if he had also died in a nightmare.
As a result, when Lin Mo checked, he found that the man was still alive.
The other person was pretending to be asleep, but at this moment he felt someone touching him and screamed in fear.
"Zhao Xin, please don't kill me. I beg you, please don't kill me. I will give you as much money as you want."
The man screamed and struggled hysterically.
Lin Mo noticed that the other person had his eyes closed, his eyelids were swollen and bleeding.
Are you blind
No wonder he didn’t die, he was blind so he couldn’t see the horror video.
At this time, Team Leader Liu and his team rushed in.
Apparently the man's scream was heard.
"Expert Lin, this is..." Team Leader Liu was also shocked when he saw the man. He was dishevelled, his eyes were bleeding, and his neck was locked with an iron chain. He looked like an evil ghost.
"Save him first." Lin Mo could see that this man had triggered a stress response at this moment and was actually on the verge of death.
But we finally found a living person, and we definitely can't let him die like this.
Team leader Liu also reacted.
Call for help immediately.
Lin Mo doesn't need to worry about the rest. The man will be carried out and immediately sent to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Lin Mo searched the second floor of the basement carefully again.
At the entrance, he found a lot of torture instruments, including rusty spikes, saws, and hammers, all of which were stained with blood. They must have been tools used to torture others.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief only after he walked up from downstairs to the outside of the villa.
Staying in that kind of environment, the whole person will feel extremely depressed.
Team leader Liu said, "I never thought that such evil could happen under this seemingly luxurious villa. Zhao Xin deserves death. Even if he doesn't die, he will be shot."
There was indignation in his tone.
Lin Mo looked up at the night sky and said after a while.
"He might be doing this just to... not die!"
