Chapter 1033 The Street of Horror Survival Guide [5000 monthly ticket]
In this small room, a group of men gathered together and chatted quietly.
In Lin Mo's opinion, this place is like a refuge.
Although it is very dangerous and scary, the men here are quite optimistic.
Lin Mo has read Lu Zhaowen's information.
The other party is Zhang Yun’s boyfriend.
She's the female college student who thinks she's smart and doesn't do anything, but in fact she's been stripped naked.
Regarding this matter, Lin Mo did not tell Lu Zhaowen because he was afraid of hurting this guy.
Being betrayed by your girlfriend, I believe no one would be in a good mood.
In any case, the men in the room are at least not completely dead yet. Their bodies are dead in the real world, but at least they are still alive in the nightmare world.
"It's better to be dead than alive in this hellish place."
Lu Zhaowen said something at this time.
After learning that brothers Lin Mo and Lin Yuan came specifically to look for them, Lu Zhaowen and the others were very happy, but they obviously also knew the reality and the situation here.
"This place, once you enter, don't even think about leaving."
A man next to me said something.
The other person is older, maybe he has various experiences, he has experienced a lot, and there is a sparkle in his eyes.
The least among these people have been missing for several days, and the longest have been four, five, seven or eight days. Being able to survive here for so long is obviously a result of hard work.
In other words, only suffering can make people grow.
Especially men.
Sometimes this kind of growth only takes one night to complete a person's transformation.
Brother's luck was obviously better. As soon as he came in, he met Lu Zhaowen and the others. Lin Mo was different. He rushed into one of the scariest forbidden places in Terror Street, the tailor shop, without knowing anything.
But fortunately, he came out alive.
Lu Zhaowen said that Lin Mo was the first person to come out of the clothing store alive so far.
This is not nonsense.
No one who went in before came out.
Of course, Lu Zhaowen also helped in this matter. He made a device outside, used a rope to pull an iron basin supported by a stick, ran to a safe location, pulled it, and then hid.
The noise created in this way will lure the scary old woman out.
"Remember, never go to a clothing store again. In fact, not only clothing stores, but many places in Terror Street are not allowed to go. If you go, you will definitely die. This is a lesson learned in blood."
Lu Zhaowen said.
Although they only stayed in Terror Street for seven or eight days, they had already compiled a set of survival guidelines.
It's called the Scary Street Survival Guide.
On a simple map, there are streets and alleys drawn with tic characters, marking some shops that have been identified, but not many of them are well marked. Most of them are marked with question marks, accounting for more than 80% of them.
In other words, Lu Zhaowen and the others knew about this horror street, but not much. At most, they only knew about 10% to 20%.
But he definitely knows more than Lin Mo and Lin Yuan who just arrived.
For example, this small room is one of the few 'safe rooms' in the horror house.
Why is there a concept of safe house?
Because every twelve hours, there will be a residents' parade in this place, and all kinds of ghosts and scary things here will come out.
If there is no safe house, the consequences can be imagined.
Some people say that you can take advantage of other safe times to run away.
Lu Zhaowen and others tried.
They couldn't run out at all. No matter how they ran, they would eventually encounter the weird white mist, sending them back to this terrible place.
If you run, you can't run, and if you fight, you can't even fight. You can only live in fear.
This is what Scary Street is like.
For Lin Mo and others, there has been great progress because they have found the missing victim.
Perhaps, the real secret about Bingcheng's disappearance will soon come to light.
Lin Mo asked them one by one if they knew how they got here.
They didn't even know the result. They discussed it with each other after they came to this place, but they didn't know it. They just came here out of nowhere.
And several of them remained unclear until their death.
Lin Mo and Lin Yuan looked at each other.
I thought it was better not to tell them the truth, otherwise it would be so sad to let these people know that it was the female family members and friends they considered very close who sacrificed them.
Lin Mo couldn't rub salt into the wound, especially for these honest people.
Lu Zhaowen and others are very curious about the ready-made clothing store.
Because I have never been inside, I only know that it is extremely dangerous inside, and you can't get out if you go in. However, the more this happens, the more curious you become.
Lin Mo had been there before, so he asked Lin Mo about it.
Lin Mo also told the truth.
It is said that it is a pretty ordinary-looking clothing shop. There are many clothes and many mannequins, but the clothes there are all made by people.
Hearing this, Lu Zhaowen and the others were thinking, how does this person make clothes?
"There used to be a big brother named Huang Wenbin. When he first came here, Huang took good care of us and even saved me. Later he passed by the clothing store and saw a dress and said he wanted to give it to his daughter.
He took it back, went in, and then never came out again. Could it be that he was also made into clothes?"
Lu Zhaowen sighed repeatedly when he thought of the past.
He keeps talking about how good this big brother is and how he takes care of people. Unfortunately, good people don't live long.
Lin Mo saw that he missed Huang Wenbin so much, so he took out Huang Wenbin's human skin from his arms and handed it over.
"This is your Brother Huang. Although he has not been made into clothes yet, there is only a layer of skin left. But he can hear you when you speak, and he can also give you expressions to respond. If the key doesn't work, you can try it."
This was all out of good intentions, but Lu Zhaowen was frightened when he saw the human skin, especially the spread out facial features on the human skin, which made his hair stand on end and he backed away repeatedly.
No words were spoken for a long time.
Lin Mo thought that the other party didn't recognize it, so he found a ball and put a human skin on it, saying that it would be much better to see it this way, at least Huang Wenbin's facial contour could be seen.
This set of operations obviously had a significant effect. Anyway, Lin Mo found that no one dared to talk to him anymore, and they also tried to stay away and avoid him.
How can this be a good thing and create a sense of distance?
As God testifies, Lin Mo did it entirely out of good intentions.
However, when I thought about it later, for him, it was already a commonplace and not surprising thing, but for ordinary people, it might still be a bit heavy-tasting and the impact would be too great.
You have to give them some time to buffer and adapt.
Anyway, in this moment, Lin Mo established his dominant position in the current small team.
The few people in this room now are the only remaining missing people. Some people have never been out since they hid here. Although they all look optimistic, in fact, they are all desperate.
Maybe in their eyes, they will have to die miserably in such a horrible place sooner or later.
Lin Mo felt that he should cheer everyone up, so he said that he came here this time to rescue you. As long as everyone cooperates, you can leave safely when he understands the situation of this horror street and finds a way out.
Not to mention, the people in the room were in a better mood.
You may think that since Lin Mo is so perverted, he must have some abilities. After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive in a clothing store for such a long time.
And they said that they were experts from the Security Bureau, and maybe they could really take them out of this horrible place.
Although Lu Zhaowen said that there is no way to leave this horror street.
But Lin Mo still planned to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Lu Zhaowen said.
The middle-aged man in his forties next to him also nodded and said that he would go too and could help if needed.
Others will not go.
There are too many people dispatched, and the target is too big. If something terrible is provoked, the gain will outweigh the loss.
So Lin Mo and his brother, together with Lu Zhaowen and the middle-aged man named Lao Guo, opened the door and walked out.
There was still some sense of security in the house just now, but on the street, the sense of security was gone.
Both Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo were experienced. They leaned against the corner, bent down, lowered their bodies, and walked without making any sound.
Lin Mo and Lin Yuan also followed the same example.
Next they tried to walk in one direction, but after passing an intersection and continuing a hundred meters forward, they encountered white fog.
The white mist enveloped them, and when it dispersed, they were still standing in the center of the street.
It's probably the center of the 'tic-tac-toe' street.
Lu Zhaowen said that every time he was brought back by Bai Wu, he would appear here in most cases, just like a character refresh point.
Of course, there are exceptions. There will also be refresh points in the other four directions of Ting Tac Street.
Lin Mo and his brother got separated before because they entered two different refresh points.
Now Lin Mo and Lin Yuan have tried it personally, and they really can't get out of this place.
As long as you reach the border of Terror Street and encounter the white fog, you will definitely be sent back.
Lu Zhaowen said that the most they tried was dozens of times, but they all failed, so they knew it was impossible to get out of this place.
Lin Mo thought for a while and said that they still knew too little about this horror street.
Maybe I need to leave here, not just through the street.
They couldn't get out before because they didn't find the right exit.
"Expert Lin, you work in the Security Bureau. You must have seen a lot of weird things like this. If it were you, how would you solve the current problem?"
Lu Zhaowen asked.
Lin Mo said that others didn't know, but if it were him, he would choose the simplest and most direct method.
"What can I do?" Lu Zhaowen's curiosity was piqued.
"Ask the locals directly." Lin Mo said matter-of-factly: "It's like when you arrive in a strange city, you're lost, and you don't know how to get to a certain destination. The first step is to ask for directions.
"
Lu Zhaowen thought about it and realized that this sounded a bit absurd. The problem was that the locals here seemed to be weird monsters, right?
"What happened to the monsters? What happened to the ghosts?" Lin Mo asked back: "You can't generalize. Just because you were attacked by an old woman in a clothes store, you can't think that all the ghosts here are bad. Remember, ghosts
Among them, there are also those who are willing to help others. On the other hand, humans are sometimes scarier than ghosts."
Lin Mo said in his heart at this time, I am not talking nonsense.
Sometimes people are indeed scarier than ghosts.
Otherwise, how do you think you ended up in this hellish place? You were not 'sacrificially sacrificed' by the people around you.
Thinking of sacrifice, Lin Mo asked Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo if they had heard of the word "sacrifice" here, or something similar.
Sacrifice is usually related to mysterious events, or religious or superstitious activities.
Lu Zhaowen shook his head, obviously not sure. Lao Guo thought for a while and said that he knew that there was an extremely ancient Taoist temple in Horror Street. It was not big, and there were incense and the sound of chanting sutras inside, but he did not dare to go in.
When Lao Guo said this, Lu Zhaowen also remembered it and said that there was indeed such a place.
"That place is very weird. Let alone go in, we don't even dare to get close."
The reason why they think that place is weird is also very simple.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
In such a scary place as Terror Street, there is actually a Taoist temple, with incense floating out of it and people chanting sutras. You can tell with your toes that there must be something wrong.
Only a fool would get closer and look.
After all, in a place where even a shop for buying clothes has become a scene of horror, a strange Taoist temple will not be simple.
"You are doing the right thing. Don't go to places that feel wrong. Most people die from their own curiosity. As long as they can control their curiosity, they are considered mature."
Hearing Lin Mo's praise, Lu Zhaowen was a little happy, and Lao Guo nodded repeatedly.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look now."
Lin Mo turned around and said this.
"Aren't you going? Expert Lin, what are you going to do?" Lu Zhaowen was puzzled.
"I'm curious." Lin Mo replied.
"..."
Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo were speechless for a moment.
Lin Mo said at this time that everyone has this curiosity. Ordinary people have to control curiosity, but capable people don't need to.
"For example, I have the ability to deal with various emergencies, so I can go. Besides, we have to leave this place eventually. Maybe that weird Taoist temple is the key."
This is certainly true.
Or because of the ‘sacrifice’ thing.
From the memories of Zhang Yun and others, we can see the importance of 'sacrifice'. This is the last test of the pastoral party. They will send the information of the person who wants to sacrifice to the group leader.
The sacrifice is made by the group leader.
Of course, it’s still unknown how the group owner actually operates, but it doesn’t matter.
Now that Lu Zhaowen and other surviving victims have been found, it shows that this 'Terror Street' is the most critical place. Lin Mo is almost certain that the answer he wants lies in this Terror Street.
To be honest, even if I ask him to leave now, he won't leave.
Lin Mo will not leave until this matter comes to light.
Lin Mo felt that the 'group leader' he discovered before was not the real mastermind, but just a scapegoat. Lin Mo wanted to know who the real mastermind behind this incident was.
He is not very demanding either.
Just find the opponent and kill him.
Reasonable and legal.
At this time, Lao Guo took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it. He said that there was only more than half an hour left before the monster parade every twelve hours.
"To be on the safe side, let's go to the safe house first and wait until this wave of monsters has passed and then come out with plenty of time. Otherwise, time is too tight now. If we encounter any trouble along the way and delay the time, it will be bad.
"
Lao Guo is in his forties. He is very experienced in speaking and doing things, and he focuses on being prudent.
Lin Mo thinks it makes sense.
"Okay, let's go back first and wait until the monsters parade around the streets."
To be honest, Lin Mo was also very curious about this monster walking around.
He actually wanted to see how terrifying this monster could be when it paraded through the streets.
But when you first come here, it’s better not to be too radical in doing things, and it’s better to play it safe.
Besides, there are several survivors this time. You can't let them fall into danger just because of your curiosity.
So the four of them started to make their way back home, preparing to meet at the safe house first.
But just after walking for a while, Lao Guo, who was walking in front, stopped.
Lu Zhaowen looked forward and his expression changed wildly.
"It's broken, why did you encounter it!"
"Who did you meet?"
Lin Mo walked over to take a look and found a figure standing on the road ahead.
The other person seemed to be wearing a cleaner's clothes, holding a broom in his hand, and was sweeping the street.
But how do I look at the movements and why do I feel awkward?
It's like a video with crazy frame drops and severe lag, so the cleaner's movements look like they're skipping a beat.
The problem is this is not a video.
The old man took one look and said, don't be nervous, he's just a resentful spirit with obsessions, don't pay attention to him and it'll be fine.
The problem is that the only two people who can really not be nervous at this moment are Lin Mo and Lin Yuan, Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo. They are nervous.
Lin Mo asked his brother if he could go there and ask for directions.
My brother said forget it, it's better not to mess with this kind of evil spirit with obsessions. Not to mention how dangerous it is, but getting entangled in the end is still a troublesome thing.
If we use our hands to attract other strange things, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Lin Mo nodded and said it made sense.
I can only suppress the thought of asking for directions for the time being.
Lu Zhaowen and Lao Guo said that they had encountered this cleaner before.
Fortunately, the other party did not take the initiative to attack them.
Of course, they didn't dare to get close. As soon as they saw this guy, they immediately turned around and walked another way.
At worst, we'll have to take a long detour.
Not a big problem.
They were going to take a detour to avoid the cleaner.
But at this time, when Lao Guo was putting his pocket watch, he accidentally took out a cigarette case from his pocket and dropped it on the ground.
The sound of the cigarette box falling to the ground was very faint.
Lao Guo didn't think much and was about to bend down to get it.
But the next moment, he felt a hand pressing down on his back, and then Lin Mo's voice came.
"Don't move!"
He obviously said it in a lowered voice.
Lao Guo trembled.
He knew something was wrong.
But he still doesn't know what the problem is.
Because he himself also felt the danger.
It was as if he was being stared at by a man-eating tiger, and his hair stood on end.
Soon he discovered that there was an extra pair of feet in front of him.
It's the cleaner's feet.
When did the other party stand in front of me?
Lao Guo's cold sweat flowed directly down his neck.
Because he was bent over now, he couldn't see the cleaner's upper body, but even if he was allowed to see it, he probably wouldn't dare.
He didn't see it clearly, but others did.
Just after he accidentally dropped his cigarette case, the cleaner ran over almost instantly.
The speed was like a video of a person walking ten times faster, stuck, and then quickly moved over.
They saw the cleaner's face.
It was a ferocious face with bulging blood vessels and an angry expression.
The other party's eyes were staring straight at Lao Guo, with malice surging in his body.
Lin Mo was certain that if he and his brother were not here, Lao Guo would already be a dead man.
The brother was about to take action, Lin Mo stretched out his hand to hold the brother down, then he chuckled, bent down, picked up the cigarette case on the ground, then walked over and threw it into the garbage bag carried by the cleaner.
“Protecting the environment starts with me. Don’t worry, we will never litter with confetti, not before and never in the future!”
Lin Mo smiled and said to the cleaner.
Then he would scold Lao Guo later.
Don’t you know how hard it is for cleaners? They work early and stay late just to give us a neat and clean living environment. If everyone throws things away like you, then the cleaners will be too exhausted to clean it up.
"Apologise!" Lin Mo said angrily.
Lao Guo was also smart. He went over and bowed and said sorry, I was wrong.
"I'm telling you, you won't do it next time."
After saying that, Lin Mo smiled at the cleaner: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. Next time he throws something around, I'll just twist his head off."
