Waves of gray mist floated by, sometimes thick and light, and the red lanterns emitted a strange red light. At close range, it gave people an indescribable feeling of strangeness and oppression.
Especially the face looking down from above can amplify people's fear infinitely.
Even the most courageous people will scream in fear and go blank when they see this scene.
Lin Mo didn't even blink.
At this time, Lin Mo was planning to take action.
When it was time to take action, Lin Mo never gave up.
But he soon discovered a problem. The other party seemed... as if... maybe, he was blind.
Firstly, the opponent's eyes were foggy, with no pupils, let alone any focus. Secondly, if this monster had eyesight, he would have already seen Lin Mo at this time.
But it turned its head sideways and listened with a pair of huge and weird ears.
Judging from his posture, he is really like a blind man.
Because of this, Lin Mo resisted and did not take action.
Below me was the sound of a stream flowing.
This sound seemed to affect the monster. It listened for a while and found nothing else. Lin Mo originally thought that the other party would leave.
But what the monster did next surprised Lin Mo.
The opponent actually stretched out his deformed fingers, grabbed the bulge under the bridge, then flipped it over and swung down.
This action was exactly the same as Lin Mo's just now.
In order to prevent the other party from touching him, Lin Mo could only quietly move to the side.
The scene at this time was very strange.
Lin Mo was hanging under the bridge, and so was this tall monster.
However, the opponent's hands and feet are long, and he can hang it with one arm. The other hand is holding the blood-red lantern.
Lin Mo suddenly felt very inconsistent.
A monster like a blind man is carrying a lantern for lighting. Isn't this unnecessary? There is something wrong with this monster's brain?
Or is there another reason?
And why is this guy learning to roll down on his own? Is he also hiding?
The current scene was very exciting. Lin Mo was only a foot or two away from the monster and could touch it with his bare hands. If someone saw them at this time, those who didn't know the situation would think they were the two brothers.
Lin Mo was motionless now, and the sound of running water confused other sounds. Even the monster was so close that the monster did not notice Lin Mo.
By the way, the weird smile on this monster's face is completely a subconscious behavior.
It's like my face is itchy and I want to grin unconsciously.
In this situation, if the enemy can't move, I can only wear it out first. The main thing is that this monster is very powerful. If we really fight, Lin Mo has no chance of winning now. After all, Xiaoyu and Xiaohu are both injured, so they won't fight if they can.
At worst, it will be wasted.
At this time, the monster carrying the lantern jumped down, and then slowly walked forward along the creek.
Lin Mo's heart moved, and he quietly jumped down and followed.
The sound of footsteps was masked by the sound of water, so Lin Mo chose to follow him, otherwise, he would not take the risk.
Mainly because Lin Mo was curious and wanted to follow this monster to see where it was going.
If the opponent leaves the scope of the stream, Lin Mo will not follow him.
Without the sound of water flowing, there is a high probability that he will be found.
The monster moved forward along the stream and soon got into a hole.
Lin Mo took a look and saw that this was a naturally formed hole. When water goes in, it may flow out from another place. The hole is not big, but it is more than enough for people to get in.
Seeing the red light inside disappearing, Lin Mo hesitated whether to go in or not.
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly noticed that the fog around him had become much lighter.
Not only the surroundings, Lin Mo looked up and saw that the gray fog in the entire Guimen Village was dissipating at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Mo was stunned.
He has never encountered this before.
This gray mist is strange, it is a kind of resentment in itself, and it is not a good thing.
Logically speaking, it is a good thing that the fog has dissipated.
But at this moment, Lin Mo felt his eyelids twitching, and he felt unprecedented vigilance in his heart.
It felt like something big was going to happen.
The next moment, a piercing scream came from the distance.
"I hate it!"
Lin Mo immediately covered his ears.
At that moment, his head seemed to have been hit hard by something, and he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the curse in Lin Mo's body was automatically triggered, seemingly fighting against this terrifying sound.
Lin Mo didn't dare to hesitate anymore and immediately got into the cave.
The space inside is not big, only five or six square meters at most. Because the space is small, it is very brightly shrouded in red lights. The tall figure from before is squatting inside now, covering his ears with his hands.
It seems that it is also afraid of that strange cry.
Lin Mo's head was feeling dizzy now, that sound was too terrifying.
What's even more frightening is that there are all kinds of strange sounds, screams, curses, scoldings, laughter, and chaos coming from outside.
It seems that the villagers of Guimen Village have come to life at this moment, running and roaring, venting the hatred in their hearts and releasing their resentment wantonly.
Lin Mo insisted on climbing inside, but his whole body was exhausted.
Mainly because he had never encountered this situation before and was completely caught off guard.
The next moment, the woman's voice outside said "I am wronged for dying" directly drained Lin Mo's strength.
Fortunately, he had already gotten in and was sitting on the cave wall, surrounded by soil and tree roots, but Lin Mo couldn't care about it at this time.
He glanced at the tall figure next to him, and also reached out to cover his ears to resist the screams.
At this moment, he and this tall figure actually became a pair of brothers.
That would be fine if it were just the sound.
Lin Mo could clearly feel that danger was approaching at this moment.
"It's weird, how could the ghosts outside know that I'm hiding here?" Lin Mo gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
This is not right!
Something is very wrong!
But now Lin Mo can't do anything. He is so weak that even if something comes close to him, he won't move.
Not only him, but under normal circumstances Xiaoyu will appear to protect him when he senses danger.
But this time, Xiaoyu didn't move either.
This shows that the deafening screams outside also have a great impact on Xiaoyu, who is also a nightmare.
After a while, Lin Mo heard footsteps coming from outside.
Coming!
…
Chen Bing was sitting on the ground with his hands covering his ears, unable to even stand up.
The black spots under his feet had completely retracted into his body at this time, and he couldn't scream no matter what.
At this moment, Guimen Village showed its terror.
"Close your eyes, cover your ears, endure it and it will pass. This is how I have survived these years." Next to Chen Bing, a man with a stubble on his face was lying on the ground, also covering his ears.
Next to this man, a big rooster was walking around, as if the terrifying cries outside could not affect it.
Still full of vigor and high spirits.
Chen Bing wanted to speak, but couldn't.
He was waiting for Lin Mo while observing the situation on the other side of the stage, but suddenly he saw a child who looked very much like Lin Nan walking over.
The situation was special, so Chen Bing left a message to Lin Mo and immediately chased after him.
As a result, no matter how far he walked, the figure in front seemed to be able to maintain a fixed distance from him, making it impossible to catch up.
Later he followed him all the way to this courtyard.
Dozens of black tablets were placed outside the courtyard, surrounding the integrated courtyard. At that time, Chen Bing felt strange and planned to sneak in to investigate. As soon as he entered, the stubble-faced man attacked him.
Of course Chen Bing resisted.
The two fought together, but the outcome was still unclear. The gray fog faded, and this terrifying situation began to appear in the village.
As a result, the two of them couldn't fight anymore, and they were both paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
At this time, the roaring had weakened a bit, and Chen Bing was already sweating profusely.
The bearded man looked at Chen Bing and asked, "Are you a living person who came in from outside?"
Chen Bing nodded.
Also looked at this man.
The other party does not look like a nightmare, but he is full of death energy. He should be the type of person who has died in the real world but lives in a nightmare world.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were with those tomb robbers." The bearded man saw Chen Bing loosening his ears and advised, "If I were you, I would cover my ears again."
"Why?"
"There will be more later. This is just now. Do you think the three-day death curse is a joke?" The bearded man smiled.
Chen Bing's expression changed.
He thought that Lin Mo was still outside.
"It's broken, I still have companions outside..."
"Really? Then he's not as lucky as you, and he's dead." The bearded man shook his head.
"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Bing said, he was very confident in Lin Mo.
"You are 100% dead. In this village, a three-day death curse occurs every three days. It is the result of the resentment and hatred of the entire village of 206 people. No one can bear it. You are not dead.
, because when you enter my yard, there are those tablets blocking them outside, but there is nothing that can block them elsewhere, and you will definitely die."
As soon as Bearded Beard finished speaking, there was another terrifying scream outside.
And there are people outside the courtyard gate.
Quite a few.
There were a lot of footsteps, as if someone was standing outside and wanted to rush in.
Both Chen Bing and Luo Xiu felt pain.
Chen Bing was even more anxious.
According to what Luo Ji said, Lin Mo is still outside, isn't he dead?
Next, the terror in the village lasted for several hours. It was undoubtedly a difficult period for Chen Bing. He wanted to go out to save Lin Mo, but he was powerless and could only cover his ears.
Finally, the terrifying movement outside disappeared.
Chen Bing wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up at all.
The bearded man was obviously stronger and he slowly got up from the ground.
"I know you want to go out and save people, but you'd better give up. Unless you stay here with me or in Carpenter Zhang's big yard, there is no use hiding anywhere in the village. In the end
They will all be found by crazy resentment and hatred, and will be mercilessly killed by them."
Chen Bing looked at the beard, and he could see that the other party was not lying.
He thought that Lin Mo should have gone to Zhang Carpenter's house, and maybe he could escape the disaster.
But the other person's next words made Chen Bing's heart sink again.
"Either you are lucky. I am a good person and will not deal with you, but the same cannot be said for the group of tomb robbers who are entrenched in Carpenter Zhang's house. Are you thinking that if your companions go to Carpenter Zhang's house, what will happen to them?
Wouldn't he be able to save his life? Let me tell you, if he goes, he will die faster."
"What was outside just now was scary, wasn't it? To tell you the truth, the ancestral tablets here are used to block the monsters outside, but those tomb robbers have something even more terrifying in their hands, so although those who died unjustly and the villagers
I'm full of resentment towards them, but I can't get in at all. It was like this before, it's like this now, and I'm afraid it will be the same in the future... Endless, when will this end?"
There was a hint of reluctance in the bearded man's tone, mixed with helplessness.
Cack!
At this time, the rooster crowed!
When the bearded man saw Chen Bing looking at the rooster, he said: "This is the chicken I raised. On weekdays, things outside are afraid of it, but when the three-day death curse comes, it doesn't work anymore. Don't take advantage of it."
"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Not to mention Chen Bing, even the bearded man was shocked.
He just froze on the spot.
Boom, boom, boom!
The knock on the door sounded again.
The bearded man only realized what he was doing at this moment. He frowned, grabbed a firewood ax from the table next to him, and carried it to the entrance of the courtyard.
Obviously those scary villagers and monsters can't knock on the door.
And with the tablet there, they can't get close to it at all.
Could it be that group of tomb robbers?
That's not right, that group of people didn't dare to come out at all, they only dared to hide in Zhang Carpenter's yard and survive.
But no matter who it is, they have already arrived at the door of the house, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye with the beard.
He took a deep breath and suddenly opened the wooden door.
Outside, there was a young man standing, holding a red lantern in his hand, and behind the young man, there was also a tall monster with long arms and legs, which was extremely weird.
"Lin Mo!" Chen Bing in the yard saw it and shouted excitedly.
The person standing outside the door now, holding a red lantern, was Lin Mo.
Time goes back a few hours.
Lin Mo in the cave heard footsteps outside the cave, and at that time he believed that something from outside would rush in.
Unlike others, Lin Mo still had a backup plan even in this situation.
He shakily took out the diary containing the two-dimensional nightmare.
If the monster outside really comes in, he won't mind releasing the two-dimensional nightmare and fighting the opponent to the death.
At worst, we'll die together.
But what Lin Mo expected did not happen.
Nothing from the outside rushed in.
Lin Mo discovered that it was the red light of the lantern that blocked those monsters.
At that moment, Lin Mo thought about many things clearly. For example, why was this tall figure carrying this red lantern and why was he hiding here.
Like itself, it is also taking refuge.
And Lin Mo was certain that the other party was not the owner of the red lantern. At best, he got it by chance. He found that the red lantern could block those monsters from coming in, so he kept carrying it in his hand.
During the few hours of hiding, Lin Mo was not idle.
He used his own 'bewitch' curse and kept mumbling in the tall figure's ear to confuse him.
To say that he can control such a powerful nightmare through bewitchment is a bit exaggerated, and Lin Mo can't do it at all. But it is still possible to just dispel the other party's malice and bring them closer to each other.
When all the danger outside receded, Lin Mo took the first step, grabbed a lantern and climbed out of the cave.
The tall figure would not attack Lin Mo under the influence of the bewitchment. I thought it would leave on its own, but unexpectedly it kept following Lin Mo.
After that, Lin Mo heard the crowing of roosters.
The distance is very close. When you climb out of the creek, you will see a yard where the roosters crow.
Lin Mo walked in, saw the memorial tablet, and heard the conversations inside, and then knocked on the courtyard door.
