Lin Mo was quite impressed by this middle-aged man.
Most of the neighbors he met in the nightmare world have either turned into corpses long ago, or like Liu Ying, were frightened to the point of mental breakdown and later died of fear.
And this middle-aged man looked very calm at that time.
If you think about it carefully, this is very abnormal.
Next, Lin Mo discovered that the identity of this middle-aged man was indeed not simple.
Because all the police officers present stood at attention and saluted after seeing the other party. Even the very aloof Doctor Song was extremely respectful in front of the other party.
The next moment, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Mo and raised his hand to say hello.
Lin Mo responded.
The two of them were like old friends, and the people next to them were stunned for a moment.
After that, the middle-aged man turned around and left, while Dr. Song walked over with a strange look on his face.
"Lin Mo, come here."
Lin Mo nodded.
Doctor Song was obviously just passing along a message, and the middle-aged man who really wanted to see him was the one he wanted to see.
"Mao Mao, wait for me."
Lin Mo patted Maomao on the head, probably telling him the most terrifying nightmare in his heart. The latter's mood was obviously much more stable, and he nodded at this moment.
"You come back quickly."
Lin Mo agreed, got up and followed Dr. Song out.
Outside, a middle-aged man was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette. He didn't know if it was Lin Mo's imagination. He felt that this man was lonely and not very gregarious.
"Expert Chen, people are here."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Song."
Dr. Song nodded, then turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Mo a few times, with a strange look in his eyes.
I guess I don't understand why Expert Chen wants to see Lin Mo alone.
Expert Chen and Lin Mo were the only ones left in the corridor.
The former took out a cigarette and gestured, and Lin Mo waved his hand.
Due to the nature of my work, I often have to stay up late. If I continue to smoke, my health will suffer.
"Good habit." Expert Chen smiled, stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, and then said, "We have met in the nightmare world."
"I remember." Lin Mo nodded.
"Introduce yourself, Chen Bing, a member of the expert team of the Special Security Bureau." After Chen Bing finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Mo: "I know you have a lot of questions. Fortunately, I can help you answer these questions today."
Lin Mo did have a lot of doubts, so he followed Chen Bing to a separate office.
"I'll get right to the point." After the middle-aged man sat down, he continued: "About a year ago, the first nightmare incident broke out in a small country in continent M. It is said that it happened after nightfall without any warning.
.It started in a church with a history of 120 years, and then radiated to the surrounding area, spreading to an area as large as four standard football fields."
Chen Bing suddenly started talking.
It was a bit confusing, but Lin Mo could understand it.
"That time, more than a thousand people died. The small country's response strategy was to build a high wall to seal off the contaminated area. Until now, it is an uninhabited zone. But it turns out that this is useless...
"
Chen Bing continued: "Afterwards, nightmare incidents occurred all over the world. In our country, nine months ago, a village in the north was cut off from the outside world overnight. Two days later, police and cadres from surrounding villages came in
Only then did I realize that not one of the 120 people in the village was spared."
Although Lin Mo was not afraid, his brows furrowed when he heard it.
"Similar incidents have occurred every month since then. So far, there have been 22 nightmare incidents in China, not to mention foreign countries."
Lin Mo wanted to ask a question, but Chen Bing waved his hand to indicate that he hadn't finished speaking yet.
"The country has established a special security bureau specifically responsible for such incidents. What is currently known and what I can tell you within my authority is that nightmares are spread through viruses; the power of virus spread is related to the level of the pollution source. It is now known
The pollution sources are divided into three levels. The first-level pollution sources have the weakest threat and transmission ability, and normal protective equipment can isolate the spread; the second-level pollution sources are much more troublesome, somewhat similar to radiation and magnetic fields, and cannot be blocked by isolation means; as for the third-level pollution sources,
Level 1 pollution source... I don’t know, I’ve never seen it.”
"This nightmare incident in Green Garden Community was caused by secondary pollution sources."
"Okay, I'm done. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Chen Bing sat down and took a sip of tea.
Lin Mo listened very carefully just now, so the amount of information Chen Bing said was very large. Most people would have no clue what they heard, but Lin Mo remembered it all and refined it.
What the other party said was about the nightmare world.
Lin Mo summed it up.
The first point is that the nightmare incident that happened in Green Garden Community is not the first time. Similar incidents have happened all over the world in the past year.
The second point is that the country has established a special security bureau specifically for this kind of time. The person in front of me is a member of the security bureau's expert team.
The third point is that nightmares can spread and are divided into levels.
Lin Mo began to summarize his own questions.
With this expert, there is no need to ask Bixian any more.
It would be okay to ask Bi Xian to confirm the answer later.
Lin Mo asked.
"What are those monsters and ghosts?"
"Nightmare." Chen Bing thought for a while and added: "It can be understood as the thing that scares the most in a person's heart. After this person goes to sleep, he will enter the nightmare world. At the same time, his nightmare will also be in that world.
Birth."
Lin Mo nodded. He had already guessed this, and Chen Bing's answer confirmed his guess.
"How did the nightmare world come about?" Lin Mo asked the second question.
Chen Bing shook his head: "I don't know this."
“How big is that world?”
Still shaking his head.
It turns out that experts also have things they don’t know.
"Then, why are you telling me this?" Lin Mo asked the fourth question.
He could naturally see that he was treated differently. Including the Green Garden community, there were more than 20 people who had experienced a nightmare and survived. Why didn't the other party look for others, just himself?
"You are different from others." Expert Chen stared at Lin Mo: "I have seen you, a person who knows how to use the power of nightmares without receiving training. I have read your description of the nightmare world, and you are different from others.
.To put it simply, you are very talented. I intend to introduce you to the Security Bureau, or even directly recruit you to the expert team."
It feels good to be praised, but Lin Mo has no interest in this job.
"I know you are the owner of a game power leveling studio, but you have to know that if you can really join the Security Bureau or even become a member of the expert group, your status will be completely different, and you will get things you could not even imagine in the past.
s things."
At this time, Chen Bing's voice was seductive.
Lin Mo still wasn't very interested.
He didn't doubt Chen Bing's words, but everything in this world was relative.
The more you get, the more you give.
He prefers to live a more leisurely and free life.
Probably sensing Lin Mo's attitude, Chen Bing did not continue to say more on this matter. He thought for a while and said, "Although I have read your description of the nightmare, I want to hear it in person.
What happened in the building."
Lin Mo nodded.
He repeated what he had said to Team Leader Liu before.
Chen Bing listened very carefully, especially about the skinny man 'Zhou Li'. He asked particularly detailed questions. After hearing Lin Mo talk about the strange, completely dismembered corpse in Room 404, Chen Bing's eyes clearly shrank.
.
"That corpse is the source of secondary pollution. It turns out that it was transferred to the neighborhood next door by a nightmare. That's right. No wonder I didn't find it in the Green Garden neighborhood."
Chen Bing said to himself.
Apparently Lin Mo's story helped him answer a lot of questions.
And after hearing that Lin Mo accidentally triggered the scorched corpse and caused the fire, his expression was very wonderful.
"Unexpectedly, the terrifying source of secondary pollution was accidentally destroyed by you in this way."
