Chapter 417: The Infinite Loop of Guimen Village [5000 chapters for a monthly ticket]
"Are these two things yours?" Yang Ke was shocked when he saw Lin Mo put the weird tablet into the weird cardboard box.
When Meng Buding saw an extra cardboard box in his yard, Yang Ke was very scared and panicked.
He didn't know who this thing belonged to, let alone how he got in.
It's as if the cardboard box was already there.
Yang Ke has a relatively calm temperament. He observes in advance when encountering situations and knows that it is not advisable to panic when encountering problems, nor is it advisable to talk too much.
So he initially judged that the cardboard box should be some kind of unknown 'weird' thing.
Of course, he also thought that the cardboard box might belong to Chen Bing or Lin Mo who came in later, but he felt that the possibility was unlikely.
Who knew, reality soon proved that this unlikely possibility was actually true.
Lin Mo told Yang Ke that these two are not 'toys'.
"One is my good friend, and the other is also my good friend." Lin Mo touched the cardboard box. Although he had not communicated with the cardboard box yet, this thing helped him a lot.
To say they are good friends is an understatement.
Of course, Lin Mo is not particularly clear about the purpose of the cardboard box yet, but it doesn't matter, this matter will be clarified sooner or later.
At this stage, Lin Mo regards the cardboard box as a storage box, so it is definitely right to put Lin Nan's tablet in it first.
This time Lin Mo and Chen Bing had three goals.
Lin Nan, the missing expert, the situation in Guimen Village.
So far, the missing experts are all dead and there is no way to rescue them; Lin Nan has found it. Although it is just a tablet, the other party's consciousness must be stored in this tablet, so take it back first; the last one is to thoroughly investigate Guimen Village
, this matter is relatively the most difficult.
Because the situation in Guimen Village is very special.
This is a village blocked by a very powerful resentment, which can only be entered but not exited. The source of all the weirdness and terror in the village is related to the unjust case of Shen He a hundred years ago.
Lin Mo already understood a lot through the evil spirit Lao Ba whom Xiao Hu devoured, but it was not enough.
The Yang Ke in front of me is undoubtedly a very good source of information.
Once they really figured out the situation in Guimen Village, Lin Mo and Chen Bing's mission could be considered completed.
"Captain Yang, come here, let's talk!" Lin Mo greeted Yang Ke and asked others for advice. Of course, he had to be respectful. There is nothing wrong with calling him Commander Yang.
Although the other party is only the leader of the village security team, he is also an official.
Yang Ke is not stupid. He has been in Guimen Village for a hundred years. In terms of age, he is already over a hundred years old. It is said that people become better with age...
"Do you want to inquire about the situation in the village?" Yang Ke asked.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Promise me something and I'll tell you." Yang Ke negotiated the terms directly.
"What's going on?" Chen Bing was also sitting next to him. He guessed that Yang Ke wanted them to take him out of this village. After all, he already knew that Yang Ke was trapped here forever.
No one else would be able to endure this kind of torture.
"Help me destroy that group of tomb robbers!" Yang Ke said through gritted teeth at this time.
Chen Bing was a little surprised. He had never been to Zhang Carpenter's house, so he didn't know much about the situation there and the tomb robbers mentioned by Yang Ke. But Lin Mo knew, and even knew what evil things the tomb robbers had done.
Lin Mo didn't waste any time and directly called Xiao Hu out and made him spit out the evil spirit.
"Captain Yang, look, I have killed the eighth among the tomb robbers and made him into a ghost. Now I am already at odds with those tomb robbers. If you don't tell me, I will have to fight with them."
Fight to the death."
Lin Mo's move really worked.
Yang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the evil spirit Lao Ba.
"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for so many years, and this time I finally got the chance." Mainly because Yang Ke also saw that neither Lin Mo nor Chen Bing were ordinary people, and they had extremely high methods.
Especially Lin Mo, the opponent was able to survive three days and four spells. Although in his opinion, luck was the main reason, but sometimes, luck was also a part of strength.
"Okay, I will tell you about the things in this village. Over the years, I have not been able to talk to others. I have long been depressed."
Yang Ke started to tell next.
Lin Mo already knew a lot of the content, such as the tomb robbers who entered the village a hundred years ago, and the story of Zhang Carpenter colluding with the tomb robbers, killing his wife and sinking her into the river.
At this time, Lin Mo told Yang Ke that the real Carpenter Zhang had been killed long ago, and the one you mentioned was the second-in-command among the tomb robbers in disguise.
Hearing this, Yang Ke was stunned and even more angry.
"I just said, Carpenter Zhang is a simple man, how could he do such a thing? It turns out that all the problems lie with that group of tomb robbers. These bastards, I can't wait to eat their meat and drink their wine
Blood, if it weren’t for them, our village wouldn’t have turned into this hell on earth.”
Next, Yang Ke said a lot of things, some of which Lin Mo knew, and some of which he didn't know either.
This includes why Guimen Village has become such a terrifying situation.
"At the beginning, many villagers remained normal. Except for a few people who were killed by the gang of tomb robbers, no one knew what happened, including me."
"I was not in the village the day Carpenter Zhang's wife was drowned in the river. I came back the next night and something happened. After I came back, the village was so quiet that even the dogs didn't bark. Later I found out that everyone was dead.
Well, I was also attacked by someone. After falling down, I found myself in this place..."
Yang Ke looked up at the village that had been shrouded in gray fog again, and shook his head: "Although this looks like Guimen Village, I know that it is not. This is the underworld, and this is hell."
Lin Mo knew that for some reason at that time, someone in the village was driven mad by the pollution source and became extremely murderous. Yang Ke must have been accidentally poisoned.
But then Yang Ke told Lin Mo that the person who attacked him was not the crazy village name, but 'Carpenter Zhang'.
The real Carpenter Zhang is dead.
The Carpenter Zhang that Yang Ke was talking about was the second in command of the tomb robber gang.
Lin Mo suddenly realized something was wrong.
If according to what Yang Ke said, the second boss was still able to sneak attack others at that time, it means that the other party could definitely fly away with the treasure found in the cemetery.
Then why are you trapped in Guimen Village again?
What's going on?
There must be something wrong.
Yang Ke went on to say that he experienced many dangers after waking up in the nightmare world, but he was lucky and hid in the village ancestral hall during the first three-day death curse.
Those tablets protected him.
"The so-called three-day death curse refers to Mrs. Zhang who was sunk into the river. She was so resentful that she would go crazy every three days. Every time she went crazy, unless it was the name of the village that was contaminated by her resentment, the others would be cursed.
She kills and no one is spared."
"There have been many outsiders over the years. Some of them were contaminated by resentment and became one of those monsters. Most of them were killed."
Chen Bing said at this time: "People who were killed by innocent people naturally have grievances. Over the past hundred years, the grievances here have accumulated more and more, which is why this gray mist has formed. I can't imagine that it will take such a long time."
How many people have died here over time?"
What Chen Bing said is also true.
Moreover, the number is extremely difficult to count.
After all, the time span is too long. In a hundred years, especially during the most stormy years of China, it was almost normal for people to die.
Maybe there are people who fled and died here in a steady stream. The number may be hundreds or thousands.
The result is that the more people die, the greater the resentment.
It finally became what it is today.
"Zhang's grievances were too great. She wanted revenge, but she couldn't get into Carpenter Zhang's house. There was something more terrifying in that yard. I saw it once a long time ago. Zhang had a fight with that monster and suffered a big loss.
One point was wiped out. No, it wasn't almost, it should have been that the other party showed mercy, so Zhang ran away."
Yang Ke said another shocking thing.
Lin Mo asked Yang Ke if the terrifying existence in Zhang Carpenter's house was the corpse of his mother and daughter.
Yang Ke nodded: "It's a female corpse with a big belly. I looked at it from a distance. The legs were like lead. They couldn't move. It was really scary."
Lin Mo frowned.
The corpses of mother and daughter were able to kill Zhang, but they let her go on purpose. What kind of drama is this?
If it was done intentionally, it must have a purpose.
Thinking about how the second boss insisted on staying here despite being able to fly away with his treasure, Lin Mo felt like he had grasped some key.
"By the way, what's going on with the theater in the village?"
Chen Bing asked.
This is also a point that Lin Mo is more curious about.
Yang Ke said that there was a stage in the village itself, but in those days of war and chaos, not many performances could be performed throughout the year. As for the theater troupe that sang "The Injustice of Dou E", Yang Ke didn't know much about it.
But no matter how little he knew, he still knew more than Lin Mo and Chen Bing.
"The troupe has a strange origin. They came here the day before and are related to the group of tomb robbers. Every time they sing, all the villagers and monsters will come over. I once saw that at the end of the play, the characters in the play were beheaded.
After the evildoer is eliminated, the villagers' resentment will dissipate somewhat. I suspect that the role of this troupe is to stabilize the situation, like a weight to adjust the balance."
Yang Ke's analysis is very reliable, and the metaphor is also very appropriate.
Lin Mo thought it made sense.
If the current situation in Guimen Village is what the group of tomb robbers want to see, then everything will be explained.
Of course, not all tomb robbers may know this, at least not Lao Ba.
Lin Mo analyzed that the manipulator behind this incident should be the second boss pretending to be Carpenter Zhang, and it is even possible that other tomb robbers were kept in the dark by him.
The situation is now relatively clear. From Lin Mo's own observations, plus the information told by Negi Laoba and Yang Ke, the secrets of Guimen Village have slowly emerged.
Guimen Village has been trapped in a seemingly endless 'dead cycle' since a hundred years ago.
The most terrifying Zhang family's resentment is so high that it cannot be resolved even after a hundred years, and it is getting worse. Coupled with other powerful nightmares, it can be said that except when singing, the village is extremely dangerous.
Although a troupe sang "The Injustice of Dou E" to balance the grievances, it was only a slight balance, delaying the cycle of these nightmares to three days.
That's why Guimen Village has the saying "Three-day Death Curse", which means that even if you are lucky and come in on the first day, you will die on the third day.
Lin Mo has experienced it personally, so he knows very well how terrifying the three-day death curse is.
If it weren't for the light of the red lantern that could block those nightmares, Lin Mo would have fallen into trouble. No matter how powerful he was, it would be useless.
With the grievances accumulated for a hundred years, he must not be on the same level as others.
After the three-day death curse occurred, there were another three days of silence, singing and singing, and listening to music. Finally, the resentment accumulated and broke out again.
The cycle begins over and over again.
This is an infinite loop.
If this is the case, it is not bad, because this kind of relatively balanced endless cycle has been formed within Guimen Village and has been maintained for a hundred years. Then there is a high probability that it will continue like this in the future.
Therefore, Qianlong City should not be affected.
But is that really the case?
Lin Mo was very skeptical.
Because he felt that the secrets hidden in Guimen Village had not been fully unearthed by him.
At least he didn't know the details about the tomb-robbing gang in Zhang Carpenter's house and the corpses of his mother and daughter.
Judging from the troupe's replaceable face, the troupe and the second boss are inseparable, and the second boss is the manipulator behind the whole thing. In all likelihood, the other party is playing a big game.
Lin Mo wanted to find out the inside story of this matter.
Chen Bing came over at this time and whispered: "Lin Mo, the situation has been figured out. Lin Nan's consciousness has also been found. Our mission is completed."
The implication is that they have to leave.
If they wait another day, Professor Xie outside will ask Granny Hongxian to drag them out.
Of course, you have to hide it in a cardboard box in advance.
Lin Mo nodded.
This was a plan they had made a long time ago, so there was definitely no problem. However, there was still more than a day left before the evacuation, and this time obviously could not be wasted.
It would be best if we could get rid of that group of tomb robbers.
After all, this matter was also promised to Yang Ke.
Lin Mo asked Yang Ke if you had any plans or good ways to deal with that group of tomb robbers since you had been here for so long.
Yang Ke said no.
"If I had my way, I wouldn't be able to wait until now."
Lin Mo and Yang Ke looked at each other. They looked at each other for a while, and then Lin Mo said: "In other words, you expect me to come up with something?"
"What do you think?" The expression on Yang Ke's face seemed to be saying, what the hell you said is all nonsense.
"Let me think about it." Lin Mo couldn't think of any good ideas at once.
It seems simple to eliminate the group of tomb robbers. The most direct way is to rush over and fight with famous swords.
The problem is, I can't beat it.
The corpses of mother and daughter were so terrifying.
Lin Mo's last loss was still fresh in his memory. Xiaoyu's wrist injury and Xiaohu also suffered a loss. He was also lucky at the time and escaped.
Even if Chen Bing and Yang Ke were added this time, from Lin Mo's point of view, he was still no match for the mother and daughter corpses.
That thing is so evil.
It was also for this reason that Yang Ke hated those tomb robbers, but he still couldn't do anything after all these years.
If you can't beat it, this is the biggest flaw.
Chen Bing had never seen the corpses of his mother and daughter, so it was hard for him to say anything at this time.
Lin Mo touched his chin and muttered at this time: "The corpses of mother and daughter are so powerful. It stands to reason that if the group of tomb robbers wanted to leave here, they would have left long ago. Could it be that they didn't want to?"
Immediately, I brought out the arrogant old man and asked him.
"Yes, of course we want to, but we can't break out, and the bodies of the mother and daughter are not completely under control. The second boss said that for now, we can only maintain this balance."
Lao Ba didn't know much, and what he said was the same as what he didn't say.
But it is certain that the second boss lied, and Lao Ba and other tomb robbers may not know it.
At least Lao Ba and the others don't know anything about the troupe.
The second boss didn't tell them, which shows that in the eyes of the second boss, other accomplices may also be pawns.
At this time, Lin Mo still wanted to ask questions, but suddenly, he heard a faint scream.
The sound sounded like a rabbit barking.
Lin Mo rushed out at that moment.
By the way, there is also this rabbit.
Lin Mo had completely forgotten about this guy before, and he only remembered it when he heard the screams.
"The rabbit also experienced the three-day death curse, is it not dead?" Lin Mo thought in his mind while running in the direction of the sound.
He was very fast, and soon he saw a little guy running towards him in front of him.
If you look closely, it's just a rabbit.
This guy was obviously frightened, screaming and running in panic, as if something scary was chasing him.
Seeing Lin Mo, Rabbit trembled and ran over excitedly.
"Brother, help!"
With a bounce, the rabbit dove into Lin Mo's arms, trembling with fear.
From the looks of it, the rabbit was not injured at all except for a little bit of dirt.
At the same time, in the mist ahead, the broken Brother Man staggered over.
Brother Man at this time is completely different from the one he first met.
He seemed to have absorbed something.
If you look carefully, it's A Bin.
Part of A Bin's body has been fused with Brother Man. Countless blood threads pierced A Bin's body, arms, chest, neck, and eyes.
A Bin, who was originally normal, now looks like Brother Man, with ferocious eyes and resentment all over his body.
Behind Lin Mo, Chen Bing and Yang Ke also chased after him.
Yang Ke saw this scene and shook his head: "They have been completely infected with resentment. Move away quickly. Monsters like this will not stop fighting when they encounter people."
As if to confirm Yang Ke's words, Brother Man over there noticed them and rushed towards them with a scream.
In Lin Mo's opinion, the horror of this nightmare in Guimen Village can be ranked in the top four.
In Guimen Village, the most terrifying thing is the corpses of mother, son and daughter. The second one is of course Zhang Carpenter's wife, the third one is the man who was beaten to death with a stick, and Brother Man ranks fourth.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Lin Mo saw a problem. Brother Man's movements were a bit weird, as if something was blocking him.
After all, under normal circumstances, with the strength of a nightmare like Brother Man, if you want to kill the rabbit, the latter will have no chance to escape.
"It's A Bin!"
Lin Mo reacted immediately, and with a thought in his heart, he drew out the tiger bone sickle and rushed over.
