The hypnotist said that another reason for their offline gatherings was to discuss how to remove the curse on them.
"What curse?" Lin Mo asked.
The hypnotist stretched out his bare wrist and pointed his bitten wrist at Lin Mo's finger.
Lin Mo looked down.
It's a ring.
The membership ring that he was forced to wear when he registered for the Evolution Forum.
Lin Mo knew it was a curse.
However, as long as you do not violate the registration agreement at the time of registration, this curse can almost be ignored for now.
Through the hypnotist, Lin Mo knew that every member would have such a ring, which meant that every member was burdened with the same curse.
"You are a new member, so you don't know the horror of this curse. As time goes by, it will force you to make a sacrifice. The more nightmares it devours, the faster it will awaken. Moreover, it is completely out of your control. Instead, it will gradually control your mind and become your new nightmare."
The hypnotist's expression showed a hint of fear of the unknown.
"The nightmare world is more terrifying than any of us could imagine. There are too many unknowns..."
Lin Mo was not affected by the other party's emotions, but asked: "You don't have any fingers anymore, how are you going to wear the ring in the future?"
The hypnotist's face froze.
"It's not necessarily the ring, that's just a form. The point is the curse. We are discussing how to get rid of it because we know the pros and cons."
Lin Mo came over to take a look at the hypnotist, and sure enough, there was a ring-shaped bulge on this guy's wrist, as if someone had placed a ring under his skin.
Just like the hypnotist said, there's no way to get rid of this thing.
Unless you die.
"Have you discussed it?"
Lin Mo looked curious.
The hypnotist showed a trace of anger and helplessness on his face: "We haven't even discussed this yet, and you're here."
You blame me for this
But the fact seems to be true. If I hadn't broken in, they might still be in a meeting discussing it.
Lin Mo asked about the Evolution Forum again.
The hypnotist told Lin Mo that the Evolution Forum itself was not established by any of them, and no one had ever seen the moderator's 'ghost'.
"The moderator never speaks on his own initiative, but we know that he must not be alive. The forum itself is a ghost. It can transform into a computer and appear in anyone's dream."
Speaking of computers, Lin Mo had long wanted to ask one question.
He untied his backpack and pulled out his laptop.
"I see none of you have brought a computer. Where do you usually keep this thing?"
Lin Mo looked distressed.
It's pretty tiring to carry this computer up and down all day.
Seeing that Lin Mo actually carried this computer with him, the hypnotist was completely stunned, and looked at him as if he was a fool.
"You, don't you know that the ring can summon the computer at any time?"
Lin Mo looked at the hypnotist, and the hypnotist also looked at Lin Mo.
At this moment, Lin Mo had the urge to smash the computer.
"Moreover, even if you smashed this computer, it would still appear intact when you summoned it again. We all wanted to throw it away, but I didn't expect you to carry it with you. You are indeed not an ordinary person."
The hypnotist sighed.
Lin Mo stuffed the computer back into his backpack and put it on again.
That’s the end of this topic.
Of course, Lin Mo had planned that this would be the last time he would carry it.
Let's talk about rings.
Lin Mo has just become a member not long ago, so he needs to be aware of any negative consequences that this ring may bring.
"Not only does it eat nightmares, sometimes it also has to eat living people. That doesn't matter. The point is, when it grows to a certain stage, it will control your thoughts and even completely occupy your body in the end."
The hypnotist obviously had a strong fear of this matter.
To use his subsequent description, it is like a worm parasitizing your body. This worm will constantly absorb your nutrients, and as it grows, it will slowly drill into your brain.
Eventually, it will become your new brain.
"At that time, you will no longer be you, but something else."
The fear on the hypnotist's face was not fake.
It’s no wonder that Lin Mo also felt that this matter was somewhat serious.
"I have tried many methods, but I cannot get rid of this curse. Moreover, it becomes more greedy, powerful and cunning as time goes by."
Lin Mo stared at the hypnotist's face and felt that the other party's words were exaggerated.
Nine times out of ten, you are bluffing yourself.
"How do I communicate with this nightmare?"
Lin Mo asked.
The hypnotist glanced at Lin Mo and asked, "Have you made your first sacrifice?"
Lin Mo nodded.
"Then it has awakened. Logically, you should be able to hear its whispers often..."
“No.”
"Impossible!" The hypnotist didn't believe it at all, and then showed an expression that said, "You want to die, so I'll make your wish come true." "I know a way to make it come true, but you have to be mentally prepared. This nightmare is very scary. Anyone who sees it will be scared. You will never forget it in this life."
It's no wonder that Lin Mo felt a little nervous seeing the hypnotist being so serious.
He nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to see what kind of nightmare was hidden in this ring.
I'm definitely not afraid, but I mainly want to know what kind of nightmare it is that could make those members regard me as a big enemy and a threat.
If it's really that troublesome, we have to plan ahead.
"Okay, but don't regret it." The hypnotist put the bloody arm to his mouth, his lips moved slightly, and no one knew what he said.
The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared from the bulge of the ring in the skin of his wrist, and then a hand stretched out.
It can be seen that the hypnotist is in pain.
This hand is most likely the nightmare hand hidden in the ring.
There are circles of small suction cups on the arms, and inside the suction cups, there are sharp teeth. It is indeed quite surprising. Lin Mo thought to himself, could it be that the octopus has become a spirit
"Put your hand here." said the hypnotist at this time.
Lin Mo glanced at the other person.
It can be seen that the hypnotist no longer dares to play any tricks, so Lin Mo stretched out his hand with the ring.
The hand full of suction cups grabbed the ring on Lin Mo's finger.
The ring emitted a black light at this moment, and the next moment, the arm stretched into it.
It's like entering a dimensional wall.
"It will catch it out." The hypnotist insisted with gritted teeth. It was obviously not an easy task to control the nightmare in the ring.
But in the next moment, a somewhat childish tiger roar was heard, and the octopus-like hand shook violently, and then tried frantically to retract it.
But it was like being bitten by something and couldn't be pulled back.
Lin Mo didn't understand why, he just felt that the tiger's roar sounded so familiar.
The hypnotist was already pale with fear.
Finally, the hand was pulled back, but the palm was gone. Just like the hypnotist, the wrist was empty, but the strange thing was that there was no bleeding from the wound.
The hand quickly retracted and sank into the hypnotist's skin, never to come out again.
At the same time, the black light on Lin Mo's ring became brighter, and then a little tiger emerged from the black light with a palm in its mouth.
Lin Mo rubbed his eyes. Isn't this a giant tiger
No, the giant tiger is not that small.
The hypnotist's eyes almost popped out of his head. He thought for a moment, then came up with something and asked tremblingly, "What nightmare did you sacrifice for the first time?"
