Lin Mo and Chen Bing were both veterans. They looked at each other and immediately squatted down, each getting ready to take action.
As the gong sounded closer, you could vaguely see a tall figure beating the gong on a red light tower, walking towards it.
A putrid stench filled with malice spread across the distance, making people suffocate.
"So bad luck? I met the big boss as soon as I came in..."
Lin Mo muttered.
Anyway, the tall figure not far away is very difficult to mess with and gives people a strong sense of oppression.
That feeling seems much stronger than that of a butcher.
At this moment, the tall figure seemed to notice something, and slowly turned his head. There was a creaking and rubbing sound, which made people's teeth itch.
Lin Mo and Chen Bing secretly thought that something was wrong.
It seems that it has been discovered.
But at this moment, a cockcrow suddenly came from the distance, and the tall figure shook and left at an incredible speed.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Where did the cock crow come from?"
Lin Mo felt that something strange had happened as soon as he came in.
Not to mention what the tall figure is, just the sound of the cock crow is very sudden and strange. This place is so scary, where does the chicken come from? Besides, even if there are chickens, it is extremely dark here now, and there is no daylight.
, what does the chicken crow like?
Chen Bing also frowned, obviously confused.
Crow Probing has a weakness.
That is, you can only observe but cannot hear the sounds inside, so even if there is a chicken crow, it is impossible for the crow to hear it.
"This place is not safe. Get out of here first!" Chen Bing was sure that the tall figure just now spotted the two of them. If it hadn't been for the sudden sound of a chicken crow, that thing would have already come over.
So I definitely can't stay here any longer.
It would be bad if that thing tried to counterattack.
Lin Mo thought so too.
The two immediately walked forward, and soon they saw a village.
There is a wooden archway at the entrance of the village. There is no writing on it, but there are two red light towers hanging on it. It looks quite festive.
Lin Mo has a special feeling for lanterns.
For example, he once saw the lantern monster in Luyuan Community, which was really scary; and the folk artist Xi Wenjun was very good at making human skin lanterns, and Lin Mo was also impressed.
In short, as long as he touches the lantern, it feels like nothing good has happened to him.
Lin Mo and Chen Bing heard the sound of water flowing and thumping sounds at this time.
The two of them followed the sound and passed through the wooden archway. They saw a small river in a low-lying area in front of them. The small river was only more than ten feet wide. At this moment, a woman was washing clothes by the river, using that kind of wood.
Beat the clothes mixed with soap locust with a mallet.
At first, I thought this place was a paradise, but it turned out that what the woman was beating was not some clothes, but a piece of human skin.
While washing, he muttered: "Dad, I've washed these clothes of yours for you. Look, how clean they are. Don't say that I didn't wash them for you then..."
Lin Mo felt that this human skin was the child's father.
At this moment, the woman seemed to feel that someone was watching her. She immediately raised her head and saw Lin Mo and Chen Bing over there.
Their eyes met for a moment, and the woman asked: "Looking at your appearance, are you from a foreign country?"
Lin Mo and Chen Bing both nodded.
One trick to deal with nightmares is that if the other person is acting out, if the other person doesn't expose it and continues to act, then you don't want to expose it either, and you should cooperate.
Because sometimes, these nightmares are not actually acting.
For them, the bizarre things you may have experienced may seem normal to them, but if exposed, they may turn against you directly.
"The two of us are lost. We don't know how we ended up here!" Chen Bing's answer obviously belonged to the kind mentioned in the textbook.
Lin Mo remembered that it was in the textbooks of the General Administration.
The prerequisite question is, if you encounter a nightmare and ask where you come from, and other such questions, you can answer it with this sentence.
"Where are you going?" the woman asked again. Looking at her at this time, if it weren't for the human skin in the other person's hand, she would indeed look like an ordinary village woman.
His skin is dark yellow and rough, his body is strong, and he speaks with a loud voice.
"Let's go to Guimen Village!" Lin Mo picked up the conversation at this time and started to make nonsense: "We heard that the carpenter in the village is very good at craftsmanship, and we want to find him to build furniture."
Of course, Lin Mo is not lying.
He and Chen Bing had just noticed that from the style of the wooden archway and the woman's dress, it should be from more than a hundred years ago.
This place once existed, but it was a hundred years ago. At that time, the villages basically had people from specific industries.
At least every village has carpenters and butchers.
This is closely related to life.
Moreover, Lin Mo was very observant. The wooden archway just now was of good workmanship, and there was a wooden bridge in front of it. There were probably carpenters in this village.
So saying this will definitely not arouse any suspicion.
Chen Bing secretly gave Lin Mo a thumbs up, thinking that Lin Mo answered the question quite well.
"You are looking for Carpenter Zhang, but you came at the wrong time. Something happened at his family. Recently, he probably won't be able to work anymore."
Lin Mo was just talking nonsense just now, but he didn't expect that it triggered the 'hidden plot'.
Anyway, now I can only follow what this weird village woman says.
So Lin Mo asked curiously: "What happened to Carpenter Zhang's family? We don't know."
When Lin Mo asked this question, the village woman's expression immediately became exciting. It was obvious that whether it was a hundred years ago or a hundred years later, this type of people liked to read jokes and gossip.
At that moment, the village woman came over carrying a mallet and human skin, and whispered: "Let me tell you, Carpenter Zhang was just imprisoned in a pig cage for stealing a man. The man she stole was beaten to death with a stick just yesterday.
.Tell me, if such a big thing happened to Carpenter Zhang’s family, can he provide work for you?”
From a close distance, you can see that the skin and flesh on the village woman's face is rotten. As soon as she speaks, a stench hits her face.
However, Lin Mo and Chen Bing had to endure it and not show it.
"Is this happening?" Lin Mo looked surprised.
"No, Carpenter Zhang's wife usually looks dignified, but unexpectedly she is also a bitch. She really knows people but doesn't know what they know... So, you came at the wrong time."
"That's okay, let's go and ask. After all, we came all the way, so we can't just go back without seeing anyone, right." Lin Mo showed a look of surprise and regret. I have to say that his acting skills are okay.
If it were Chen Bing, he would never be able to act that realistically.
"That makes sense, then you go ahead, but don't mention what I just said. Even if you let it slip, don't say it was me who said it. Carpenter Zhang, despite his usually honest and ruthless nature,
Get up, you dare to kill someone." After the village woman finished speaking, she returned to the river and continued to beat the human skin.
If you look carefully, you can see a knife stuck in the back of her neck.
"Daddy, I will definitely clean you up..."
Done!
Lin Mo and Chen Bing looked at each other and walked into the village one after the other.
Some clues about this place can probably be seen from the village woman washing clothes by the river at the entrance of the village. The village woman does not seem to remember that they are dead.
In other words, I don't know that this is a nightmare world.
It feels like an obsession nightmare, repeating specific things based on a small number of specific memories. Of course, we still have to go into the village to continue to investigate.
