Crushing Game

Swallowing Whale City is a very interesting place.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous place in China. It has always been in the first echelon. There are many high-rise buildings and high-end atmosphere; but there are also hundreds of years old houses and old streets. When you walk in, you feel like you have traveled through time and space.

.

Of course, that feeling only exists in the real world.

If it were in a nightmare world, the feeling would be slightly different.

It also spans time and space, but it travels from modern horror to modern horror.

It's like traveling between two different horror scenes.

Of course, this is a safe zone, so it is supposed to be safe and there are no nightmares, because the nightmares in the safe zone have long been cleared away.

The policies of various safety zones are very clear.

Unless it is a registered and controllable nightmare, all other nightmares will be cleared.

Each safe zone has a team responsible for patrolling and clearing out nightmares. Most of them are members of the expert team within the branch. Normally, if a nightmare hits them, there is only a dead end.

So although the place is gloomy, it is actually very safe.

It is said that there are often old men playing chess in dark places and old women performing Yangko together in the alley.

But now that we are in a period of special control, it is very quiet here.

For special control, the General Administration has a general outline, and different regions have different rules. For example, in Swallowing Whale City, in the control area, no one, living or dead, is allowed to move across the area.

This is one of them.

Also, living people are not allowed to dream during the control period, because the plague spreads in the nightmare world, so if there is an outbreak, as long as they do not fall asleep, they will not be infected.

The last point is to investigate the abyssal ones.

Because as far as we know so far, abyssal beings cannot be born within living people, only dead people, and they are the kind of dead people who want to end their lives in a nightmare world.

Some people may think that if the living are excluded, then it should not be difficult to sort out the dead in a place like Swallowing Whale.

yes.

This is indeed the case under normal circumstances.

But this time it's different.

One is that there are many dead people in Swallowing Whale City.

It has been several years since the nightmare world was fully invaded. The number of people who have died normally and abnormally in the real world is absolutely astronomical.

And from a certain perspective, the invasion of nightmares gave them a 'second life' to those who should have died and disappeared completely.

Although the nightmare world is a bit scarier and gloomier, it is conscious and can still live in a safe zone and meet living family members in dreams.

It's actually pretty good.

On the contrary, the happiness index of many people has improved during this period.

In other words, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and if there are disadvantages, it must also have advantages.

It’s reflected most vividly now.

The people left here now are all dead.

When Lin Mo came in, it could be seen from the figures flashing past some windows that someone had noticed him.

But Lin Mo didn't care about these residents.

He has only one goal.

That's the source of the special smell.

After walking about three hundred meters, Lin Mo looked up at an apartment.

The original sign of the apartment has been covered by another simple sign, which reads "Sleepless Apartment".

This is an apartment specifically rented to dead people.

Cheap, of course, requires someone to pay the rent for the dead in the real world.

This is very ironic.

When people are alive, they run around and work hard for shelter and three meals a day; even after death, they still can't escape. It's okay if they have family to help them, but if not, they have to 'work' in a nightmare world.

In this way, the boss will pay the rent to these dead people.

As for the living environment in this kind of apartment, Lin Mo has never lived in it and doesn't know much about it, but it is said that it is very bad, worse than a pigeon cage.

The smell is in there.

Lin Mo walked over and opened the door.

The door was locked. Maybe I heard some noise, and there was a figure approaching from inside.

"who?"

"Security Bureau!" Lin Mo took out his ID and shook it.

The tone of the person inside immediately softened.

Regardless of whether it is the real world or the nightmare world, public servants can never be provoked. This is a law and it applies no matter where you go.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Open the door."

The other party was obviously reluctant, but there was nothing he could do. The public couldn't afford to offend anyone, especially those from the Security Bureau, who had the right to kill first and then punish later.

It doesn't matter if you kill people or kill ghosts, it's all the same.

The person inside opened the door.

It had three locks on it, so Lin Mo could knock off the door frame with just one kick.

The doorman was a fat man, his clothes were dirty, and he seemed to have been eating.

There is a desk lamp over there.

Under the dim light, there were several colorful magazines on the table.

The power supply in the nightmare world is relatively precious. After all, it is not as easy to generate electricity as in the real world. To generate electricity here, it also requires nightmare black technology.

Of course, the fat man watching the door is also a dead man.

"Who are the people living in this place?"

Lin Mo asked.

The fat man was a little afraid of Lin Mo, probably because he was suffocated by that special aura.

So to be honest, all the people living here are dead people.

"I know they are dead people, but I am asking, what do they do?"

"Oh, they are all poor homeless people, most of them are relatively young. Some of them work in factories, producing batteries; some of them work in garment factories as textile workers."

These two types of industries are also developing rapidly in the nightmare world, and there are several large nightmare factories in Whale Swallowing City.

Obviously, this is a staff dormitory.

The fat man guarding the door said that under normal circumstances, everyone would go out to work at this moment, but because of the control of the Security Bureau, they are staying in the house now and are not allowed to run around.

"How many people live here?" Lin Mo asked again.

Dead Man Fatty said there were about three hundred people.

Lin Mo nodded, said I would go up and take a look, and then went up the stairs alone.

The fat man guarding the door didn't dare to stop him. After seeing Lin Mo go up, he closed the door again and opened the colored magazines on his chair, reading them with gusto.

Lin Mo walked up the stairs, and when he reached the second floor, he saw two uncles hurriedly closing the chess stall.

When he saw it was Lin Mo, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was that damn fat guy." An old man muttered in a low voice.

An old man next to me asked if we should go down.

"Come on, your veteran skills were all gone in the last game. Now, let me give you a taste of my serial cannons."

"Come on, you are a serial shooter. You really think you are a high-income earner when you pick up a wallet while walking. In this game, let you see what a serial shooter is."

The two old men obviously ignored Lin Mo, and Lin Mo did not disturb the two of them.

It was in this dark place that there were two eerie old men playing chess, which was really weird.

But Limmott understands.

Living people have living entertainment, and dead people also have their own lives.

But Lin Mo remembered that the fat man guarding the door said that most of the people living in this apartment were young people, and they all worked in factories. Why were there still old men?

Lin Mo went over and asked how old you two are.
