Chapter five hundred and fortieth they are not them anymore
Professor Xie said something to Lin Mo and hung up the phone.
Obviously something really urgent happened over there.
Although Lin Mo was curious, he couldn't disturb Professor Xie's work. Besides, the matter involving the copper gate was definitely confidential and was not within Lin Mo's scope of authority. It was better not to pry around yet.
Regarding the bronze gate, Lin Mo had long known that there couldn't be only one.
Based on various information he had received before, he deduced that the bronze gate represented death and chaos, and was related to the invasion of nightmares. Lin Mo even deduced that when the bronze gate opened, it was the beginning of a full-scale invasion of the nightmare world.
Recuperation is still leisurely.
Lin Mo looked through the remaining research results of Academician Li, trying to find clues about recasting spiritual items, and Lin Mo himself also evaluated his own spiritual power level.
Unfortunately, it may just barely reach the level 2 threshold.
After all, Lin Mo still has no way to split off a powerful sub-personality on his own, let alone rely on mental power to change his body and strength.
At present, at best, you can be immune to some mental control through bewitchment and mental power.
That's all.
If the paper bag head is still there, then Lin Mo's mental strength will increase with the paper bag head, reaching close to the third level standard.
Lin Mo was very leisurely for the next whole day.
Read information, watch TV, and surf the Internet.
When I was getting ready to play some games in the evening, the phone rang.
Professor Xie called.
Lin Mo picked up immediately.
He had been waiting for a day. Although he did not take the initiative to contact Professor Xie, it was because he knew that the other party must be busy and was embarrassed to disturb him, but this did not mean that Lin Mo did not want to know what happened to the opened copper door.
There are several possibilities for Professor Xie to take the initiative to call.
One is to have a chat with yourself after the matter is resolved.
Another way is to ask yourself for help if the problem is not solved.
After the call was connected, Professor Xie's voice came over.
"Lin Mo, how is your recovery?"
Usually when asked this question, the subtext is that there is work to be arranged.
Lin Mo said that he was recovering well. He ate four meals a day, not including a late night snack and snacks such as yogurt.
Professor Xie was silent for a while, and then said: "Lin Mo, your recuperation has come to an end for the time being. Come to the General Administration for a meeting first."
Lin Mo agreed.
Unless the situation is urgent, Professor Xie will not expose himself as a patient.
"See you later."
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door. It was the special service officer who came to pick up Lin Mo.
Lin Mo threw away the handle, changed into clothes and left.
When leaving, he shook hands with the medical staff who had taken care of him in the past two days and said goodbye, especially the beautiful female nurse. Lin Mo grabbed each other's hand and thanked him several times.
I went downstairs and got in the car. The driver was a man in military uniform. He was serious and silent on the road. The car was going very fast.
We arrived downstairs at the headquarters in a few minutes.
By the time Lin Mo sat in the conference room, less than fifteen minutes had passed since Professor Xie called him.
Extremely efficient.
There are many people in the conference room.
In addition to Professor Xie, there are also several senior leaders of the General Administration.
Crow, the second person in charge of the expert team, is also there.
In fact, Crow, the second person in charge, has the highest position among experts, because the number one person in charge is not an expert, but the deputy director of the General Administration and the leader of the expert team.
The level of the meeting was quite high.
Lin Mo originally thought that his level was the lowest, but he discovered several other familiar faces.
Shen He and Xiao He (captains of the combat team, appear in Chapter 150: The Prison of the Two-Dimensional Nightmare).
Lin Mo nodded towards these two people, and Shen He and Xiao He also nodded in response.
This is a serious occasion and we certainly can't say much. We can discuss it in private later.
The meeting begins.
The director of the General Administration read out the principles of discipline and confidentiality. This is the process, and then went directly to the topic.
Sure enough, it was about a copper door being opened.
The Tongmen is also a secret in the General Administration.
Moreover, the Academy of Sciences has been conducting research on Tongmen for a long time, and it has been quite fruitful. Academician Li, who died (disappeared) in the line of duty before, is one of the scholars responsible for studying Tongmen.
"Nine hours ago, the copper door in the research room of the 4th base opened automatically. Then the 4th base lost contact. After dispatching an elite team to investigate, the elite team also lost contact. At present, the 4th base has completely lost contact with the outside world. Because of the isolation, we decided to send a second group of personnel to investigate, but because we have learned from the past, we called everyone over and wanted to hear everyone's opinions."
The director spoke concisely and to the point and got straight to the point.
It can be seen that as the director of the General Administration, his face is full of fatigue. He is in his fifties and looks ten years older than his actual age.
During this period, the burden placed on the shoulders of the director of the General Administration is heavy, which can only be understood by being in his position.
Lin Mo didn't know much about the situation and couldn't speak. At this time, Wu Wu, as the second person in charge of the expert team, said: "Director, sending the second group of personnel in is too risky, and we must consider what happens if the second group of personnel enters. What should I do if I also lose contact? Losing contact in this situation is a disaster."
For missing persons, the word "lost contact" is used.
In other words, the person's body is still alive, proving that they are not dead.
But I just can't get in touch.
The current 4th base is simply like an abyss that can only be entered but cannot be exited, and it is difficult to explore.
"If the second group of personnel also loses contact, we can only temporarily close the 4th base. At this juncture, abandoning the 4th base is the only option." The director said this with a somewhat painful expression.
This decision was not easy to make.
Because giving up means not only giving up a base, but also the people inside.
There are more than a hundred permanent personnel in the fourth base, plus the elite teams that have already entered, they are all talents among talents. Just giving up like this is like cutting flesh on the body with a knife.
But sometimes, decisions have to be made.
In fact, judging from the current situation, there is no need to send a second group of personnel to enter, and it can be closed directly.
But in this matter, the director made the decision alone.
Explore again.
Because exploration means that the people inside still have the possibility of being rescued and coming out. If you give up and directly seal it, then there will be no possibility at all.
Of course, the cost is that the lives of the second group of people are blocked, and his own future and reputation are blocked.
Because the decision is made by the director alone, if something goes wrong, he must bear all the responsibilities. For this reason, the director is a responsible person.
When Lin Mo heard this, he looked at each other with Shen He and Xiao He.
They both saw it.
Originally, they were not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, but they were called here probably because they had been selected as the second group of investigators.
If you agree to go, it will be like putting your head in your belt. According to the current dangerous level of the 4th base, you will simply go and never return.
Including Lin Mo, Shen He and Xiao Hena are all veteran experts. It is impossible for them not to know the dangers involved.
The crow also knows this.
He put forward the request and then said: "If you three have any opinions, you can raise them. If you can't go, I can replace you."
Neither Shen He nor Xiao He said a word.
They knew very well that at times like this, someone had to step up. Since the higher-ups selected them, they were deemed to be the most suitable.
It's definitely not possible to quit.
Lin Mo thought for a while and then expressed that he had something to say.
"Is Wang Zixin a member of the elite team? Is she one of the missing persons?"
Lin Mo asked Wang Zixin the name of the cat.
Fatty said before that Maomao was in the elite team of the Security Bureau, and the first group of people who disappeared this time happened to be from the elite team, so he wanted to be sure.
Crow nodded.
Lin Mo didn't say anything either.
He had one more reason to go, whether it was the Tongmen itself or because of his friends, he had to go on this errand.
"Okay, since you have no objections, then this matter is settled." Crow said: "In addition to the three of you, the General Administration will also send a special expert to lead the team."
Shen He and Xiao He were relieved when they heard that a special expert was leading the team.
Obviously, in the real battle sequence of the General Administration, the special experts are definitely the big ones. With the big ones here this time, the chance of success will be greater.
As for which special expert it was, it was not clear at the meeting.
Lin Mo hoped it was Lin Nan.
Because he is the most familiar with Lin Nan, and they haven't seen each other for such a long time, so he misses this child.
It was only when the meeting ended that the three of them realized that the special expert leading the team this time was not Lin Nan after explanations from Crow Crow and Professor Xie.
A little disappointed.
There are three special experts in the General Administration.
Lin Nan is one of them. The other two have also appeared in the previous Guimen Village incident. One is a military spirit and the other is a ghost king.
This time it was the military spirit who led the team.
It's that nightmare in the old-fashioned military uniform.
Time was tight and the task was heavy, so this time they boarded the plane immediately and headed to the location of the 4th base.
On the plane, Shen He and Xiao He talked about what they knew about the military soul.
"The General Administration actually let the military spirit lead the team this time. It seems that it really takes it very seriously."
"That's right. Originally, Lao Shen and I were not particularly good at fighting. Even if we added Lin Mo, it wouldn't be enough. That's strange. Now I understand that if the military spirit is there, then there will be no problem."
"Is the military spirit very strong?" Lin Mo knew little about this special expert.
"More than just strong."
It was Xiao He who spoke.
Obviously, Xiao He knows more about the special expert Junhun.
Next is Xiao He's narration.
He said that the birth of the special expert Junhun was very special.
"The military spirit was not born in the country."
One sentence aroused Lin Mo's curiosity.
"About eight months ago, when the nightmare invasion was still a small incident, one of our colleagues in Pheasant Country accidentally heard about a terrorist incident that happened in Pheasant Country."
Terror in Pheasant Country?
Lin Mo and Shen He were both laughing. Obviously, in their eyes, this small neighboring country is not a good thing, and the people above it are very perverted.
Let’s talk about movies, the movie about Pheasant Kingdom is very spooky and scary.
So there must be a lot of terrorist incidents happening in Pheasant Country.
"It stands to reason that the places where terrorist incidents occur are places that have some horror stories themselves, because after the invasion of nightmares, it will amplify human fear, create the things they fear in their hearts, and give birth to corresponding nightmares. But this horrific incident The place where it happened is the shrine that they are proud of."
At this time, Shen He interrupted: "Could it be xx Shrine?"
"Yes, it's xx Shrine." Xiao He also had a smile on his face.
After the most sacred place in the Pheasant Kingdom was invaded by nightmares, an extremely large number of nightmares were born here. Pheasant Kingdom officials blocked the news for a time and did everything possible to maintain the situation.
Moreover, foreign aid from the White Eagle Country was invited to control it.
But I couldn't control it.
The situation was once beyond control.
In just one night, more than a dozen priests in the shrine and political and business leaders who happened to come to pay homage and stay overnight died.
Later, after investigation, it was found that all people were killed by the same nightmare.
Moreover, this nightmare not only killed these people from Pheasant Kingdom, but also wiped out other nightmares as well.
When Lin Mo heard this, he roughly guessed what was going on.
"This nightmare is the military soul." Xiao He gave a definite answer.
Needless to say, some of the people who visit the shrine are guilty of committing crimes. It seems that the fear caused by their past memories has been retained for decades, but before, it only tortured them on the mental and memory levels.
After the nightmare invasion, the fear in the memory became reality in the nightmare world.
"For two whole months, no one from the Pheasant Kingdom dared to enter that shrine. Once they entered, they would be infected with nightmares. After being infected with nightmares, no matter where they fell asleep, they would be killed without exception."
"Later, the Pheasant Kingdom was completely out of ideas and contacted us secretly, and then we found a way to bring the general's soul back."
This experience is amazing enough.
Lin Mo suddenly realized at this time, no wonder that special expert is called Military Spirit, no wonder he wears a coarse military uniform that should almost be placed in a museum, no wonder he is so strong.
As the saying goes, if you live as a hero, you will die as a ghost!
The military spirit is the ghost hero.
The plane landed at an open-air airport outside the Fourth Base, where several cars were already waiting.
One of the cars contained a metal box.
Lin Mo had seen similar metal boxes before.
When they first met Lin Nan, the staff from the General Administration used this metal box to bring Lin Nan here.
No need to ask, this metal box contains the military soul.
The next step is to arrange tasks and clarify the goals of this action.
Interestingly, Lin Mo joined the operation this time not as an expert from the General Administration, but as a fifth-level researcher of the Academy of Sciences.
Because the opened copper door is in the research room inside the base.
If possible, Lin Mo needs to bring back some information and observe and test the copper gate at the same time.
The vehicle carried everyone to the 4th base. The staff here were ready. Shen He carried communication equipment that could connect to the outside world. Xiao He was responsible for leading the way. He had completely memorized the structure and terrain of the 4th base.
The special expert military soul is naturally responsible for fighting.
"Then be careful." Crow said solemnly.
Next to him, Professor Xie also patted Lin Mo on the shoulder: "I feel bad that I asked you to come here before you have fully recovered, but for this matter, I can only think of you for the candidates here at the Academy of Sciences."
After saying that, Professor Xie lowered his voice and said: "One more thing, the above defines Academician Li as a man who died in the line of duty, but I know Lao Li very well. He is a man who cherishes his life. Think about it, if he hadn't made any major discoveries
, how could he enter the bronze door without permission?"
Lin Mo understood.
"Professor Xie, you mean..."
"Yes, I have always thought that Academician Li is not dead. He is still inside the Tongmen. This time, please help me figure it out. If possible, bring Academician Li out. He is of great significance to the Academy of Sciences. By the way, you haven't been recently.
Are you interested in the study of spiritual power? Let me tell you, the person in the Academy of Sciences who is most deeply immersed in spiritual power is Academician Li. If you can rescue him, he can give you everything you want to know about spiritual power.
You answer."
I have to say that this condition is extremely attractive.
Lin Mo really needs a real professional to guide him.
He nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, if I meet Academician Li, I will definitely bring him out."
"Thank you for your hard work, be careful."
"OK."
After a brief conversation, the second set of actions began.
The three of them each lay on the rest bed, connected to the monitoring equipment, and then closed their eyes at the same time.
Sleep in seconds.
This is already the basic ability possessed by people infected with nightmares.
When they opened their eyes again, Lin Mo and the others had entered the nightmare area of the 4th base.
Next to him, the special expert Military Spirit had been waiting for a long time.
Lin Mo took a closer look this time and saw that the opponent's military uniform was shabby and there was a large curled sword on his back with a piece of red silk tied to the handle.
It looks very bright red.
It's like blood stained red.
"Let's go!"
Junhun's figure is a little blurry, but he walks with an upright posture.
After knowing the origin of the military soul, even Lin Mo couldn't possibly explode in front of this 'old man', because he was honest.
After walking a few steps, Junhun suddenly stopped.
The other party looked around and seemed to find something.
Lin Mo and the other two people also felt it later.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of me.
The military spirit looked at it, then stepped forward and disappeared in an instant.
This situation was beyond their expectation. It was obvious that they would enter another place after passing through the invisible wall.
"Let me report." Xiao He turned on the communicator and informed Wu Wu and Professor Xie of the situation here.
"Let's go."
After the announcement, the three of them moved forward and passed through the invisible wall.
What surprised Lin Mo and the others was that they did not seem to have entered another place. This was still the same passage without any changes.
The military spirit is waiting for them in front.
"Wait a minute, let me try to step back." Shen He took a few steps back, but nothing happened. Apparently the invisible wall was gone.
Later, Shen He discovered that the communicator was malfunctioning.
Unable to communicate with external parties.
"To a certain extent, we have lost contact." Shen He sighed. Fortunately, they had spoken to Professor Xie and the others before, and the other party also knew that they were going to enter an invisible wall.
Therefore, this kind of loss of contact is foreseeable, and this mission will not be judged as a failure because of this.
But at this time, Shen He discovered something was wrong.
He was the only one talking, Lin Mo and Xiao He still stood there, silent.
The military spirit also remained silent.
There's something wrong with the atmosphere.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen He was also a veteran. He took a step back and reached back to get his weapon.
At this time, the army spirit in front came over with a knife. Lin Mo and Xiao He also showed extremely strange smiles and approached step by step.
At this moment, Shen He's hair stood on end, and he ran away without even thinking about it.
In another place, Xiao He was also stunned when he saw the three people approaching step by step.
"What are you doing? Are you possessed?"
Although Xiao He is the leader of the combat team, he is better at strategy and making plans, and this type of talent is the most sensitive. At this moment, Xiao He felt a problem.
There is a problem with these three companions in front of me.
"They are not them anymore!" Xiao He made a judgment almost instantly and ran away as well.
If he were to fight these three head-on, he would be crazy.
At this time, Lin Mo looked at the three people approaching with strange smiles on their faces. He did not run away.
Instead, he skillfully pulled out the brick hammer.
