Chapter 746 There is no harm in being cautious [5700 chapters ask for a monthly ticket]
Expert Zhou heard Lin Mo's words, thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "No way, it hasn't been long since they were caught, and they have never come into contact with anyone outside. In terms of time and possibility, there is no
There will be pre-set traps, which cannot be justified logically, and there is no time to prepare.”
In fact, expert Zhou's inference is not wrong, and is even correct.
If it were a normal situation, Lin Mo might think so too.
But Lin Mo always remembered the prophecy he got from the clown fortune teller in the Death Chamber game.
That prophecy showed that his trip to the Whale City would definitely not be easy, and it made it very clear that danger often arrived inadvertently.
Therefore, Lin Mo has been extremely cautious in handling matters since he came to Yanwhale City, and once he finds something wrong, he will take action immediately.
This is the reason why he used his power to target Fu Chong.
No matter what, first pull the opponent down.
If the other party secretly does something bad in the future, the destructive power will be extremely strong.
It's always right to strike first.
Lin Mo used a trick when interrogating five dummies this time, and the five dummies seemed to take the bait.
And one of them even confessed.
If it were a normal situation, even if Lin Mo had doubts, he would first go to the place where the dummy said it was to test whether it was true or not.
But based on that prophecy, and based on the principle of being cautious and not taking action, taking action is the ultimate move, Lin Mo preconceived the idea that this was a trap set by the opponent.
Because the other party entered the trap so smoothly, it was as smooth as if it had been rehearsed in advance.
Of course Lin Mo was suspicious.
"First investigate the address mentioned by the dummy, and then take the five dummies there respectively. By the way, I looked through the list of experts from the Swallowing Whale City Security Bureau before and found that there is a candidate expert whose ability is very suitable for this mission.
Take that person with you."
Expert Zhou asked which one?
"It seems that the person named Lu is the one who can control other people's actions in a short period of time."
As soon as Lin Mo explained it, Expert Zhou understood.
"You're talking about Lu Xian. That guy is indeed quite special. However, the branch's evaluation of him is that he is 'in danger of losing control at any time', so he is still only a candidate expert and is rarely allowed to perform tasks. Team Leader Lin
, are you sure you want to take him with you?"
"Sure, and don't worry, with me here, he can't lose control."
Soon, Lin Mo met the candidate expert he was going to take with him on the mission.
This is an uncle-level figure.
With his unkempt beard and messy hair, he feels like he is almost forty years old.
But Lin Mo had read the other party's information and found that he was only twenty-eight.
"You look so anxious." Lin Mo couldn't help but say.
"Team Leader Lin was joking. I'm too lazy to cut my hair and shave my beard. If I tidy up, I'm quite young." Lu Xian doesn't have stage fright. It's obvious that he has a good personality.
On the other side, Expert Zhou also arranged for five teams to escort five dummies to that address.
Lin Mo specifically told them to make the five dummies think they were brought there alone.
Because it is easier to defeat them individually in most cases than to deal with enemies in a group.
In the car, Lin Mo got the investigation results about that address.
"It is an old city. It has not received any development dividends in the past. The surrounding areas have been demolished, and only this area is left. I heard that in the early years, developers also took a fancy to this area and wanted to demolish it.
We were building a commercial center, but the night before, demolition workers died inexplicably inside."
"You think, if someone dies, it will be unlucky to open the door. Especially for business people, this is the most important thing, so the developer just withdrew."
"Later, some people said that there was a lot of yin in the old city, and the feng shui of this place was not good. In addition, people died, so no one cared about it. So you see, there are high-rise buildings all around, and this is a place like this.
It’s still a shabby street.”
Next to him, expert Zhou pointed to the front and explained to Lin Mo.
With the information in hand, Lin Mo also had a preliminary understanding of this place.
It's daytime now. During the day, people come out of the safe area to work and have fun. There are also people living in this old building.
But because of the action, Lin Mo asked Expert Zhou to evacuate all the residents in this area in advance.
Interestingly, the address mentioned by the dummy, the old building with the specific house number, is unoccupied.
The reason is that I am too old.
It has become a dilapidated building, so no one has lived in it for a long time.
But it is often places like this where all kinds of horrific urban legends are born.
According to the terrifying urban legend, after a nightmare strikes, a corresponding nightmare will be born, and this kind of nightmare is extremely powerful.
Lin Mo had encountered a similar situation before.
Isn’t Zhou Li, the murderer he met in Migratory Bird City, a living example?
The other party is a terrifying perverted murderer. Because he has committed many crimes, many people are afraid of him. Moreover, he will always leave one or two "survivors" alive in the process of committing extremely cruel crimes.
This is not his kindness.
Instead, he planned to keep these people alive to spread terror to him.
The more fear there is of him, the more powerful the nightmare will become in the nightmare world after his death.
This has been confirmed.
Vehicles have entered this old neighborhood from the intersection in front.
Lin Mo looked at the street signs on the side of the road.
Shenjiang Road!
At this time, Lin Mo said to stop.
The driver immediately stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Team Leader Li, what's wrong?" Expert Zhou was puzzled. Lu Xian, who was sitting in front, was also confused because this place was still some distance away from the dilapidated old building.
"Just wait for me."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he opened the car door and walked out.
Then I walked into a small shop on the roadside.
There are all old buildings here, each one looks very old, and some of the ground floors facing the street have been transformed into shops.
But it can be seen that few people come here on weekdays, and it is very deserted.
After the advent of the nightmare era, this kind of real economy has become more difficult to operate. The surrounding merchants have ten stores and nine stores, or they have signs saying "Business Transfer".
The small store Lin Mo entered did not have such a transfer sign.
Of course, this small store is quite special. It is not a cigarette shop, a clothing store, or a convenience store.
It’s a ‘model and figurine shop’.
The storefront is small, with an open sign hanging on the glass door, and there are also some hand-made models.
Men all like this kind of store.
Even if you don't go in, you will take a few more glances when passing by.
Lin Mo came in because he saw a model.
This model is placed in a small display window. It is almost a person tall, wearing two-dimensional clothing, holding a sword in one hand and holding a shield in the other.
It should be a character from a certain game or anime.
When Lin Mo looked at this model, he thought it looked like a wooden dummy, so he got out of the car and came in to take a look.
The store is not big, but because it is filled with various models and figures, it seems crowded and small. You may have to be careful when walking, otherwise it is easy to knock something off.
Behind the front counter, a man was repairing a model figure with his head down, very seriously. Of course, because there is a sensor at the entrance, when someone comes in, an electronic sound of "Welcome" will be emitted, so the other party will also know that a customer has come in.
"You can read whatever you like, it's not expensive."
This boss-like person didn't even raise his head and was still focused on doing his own thing.
Lin Mo took a look and saw that there were too many mannequins here. They were almost all on the floor, on the cabinets, and on the walls. Some of the healing mannequins were okay, and the funny ones were not bad either. But
That kind of horror and weird series is a bit disturbing.
All kinds of zombies, zombies, vampires, and zombies are hung on the wall.
There are also ambient lights on, thanks to the fact that it is daytime. If you saw it suddenly at night, you would definitely be frightened.
Lin Mo walked around in a circle, and finally pointed at the model that was somewhat similar to the wooden dummy and asked: "How much does this cost?"
The boss glanced up, then lowered his head and continued working.
"That one is not for sale, you can look at the other ones."
Not for sale?
Lin Mo is not interested in others either.
And he still had a mission, so he turned around and walked out without looking again.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and I felt a bit warm. It was much colder in that small shop just now than outside.
In the car, Expert Zhou smiled: "Team Leader Lin also likes these two-dimensional elements?"
Lu Xian looked at Lin Mo, his eyes shining: "Team Leader Lin, I like it too, let's talk someday?"
Lin Mo waved his hand.
He got out of the car just now because he wanted to take a look at the model that looked like a wooden dummy, but there was no need to explain this matter so clearly.
The car drove to an intersection ahead and stopped.
"It's that old building. The outer door is locked and it says Dangerous Building." Expert Zhou pointed.
After that, he asked again: "Do you want to arrange for the action team to go in and take a look?"
Lin Mo thought for a moment.
nodded.
Expert Zhou made arrangements immediately. After a while, another car drove over and parked in front. Four action team members got out of the car, cut the outer lock with pliers very quickly, pushed the door open and walked in.
The old building is not big, with three floors in total, plus a basement. The exploration was completed in a short time.
Found nothing.
This is normal, because the dummy confessed that the bronze door was in the nightmare world, so it is not surprising that it was not found in the real world.
At this moment, with the old building as the center and extending outward, all residents within a radius of 100 meters are already in their cars and have begun to be isolated with isolation tapes.
Lin Mo thought for a while and decided to take a look in his dream.
Among the people who fell into the dream were also the action team members, Expert Zhou, Lu Xian, and of course Lin Mo himself.
Looking at the old building in the nightmare world also felt eerie and eerie. This time Lin Mo did not let the action team members enter.
Instead, have someone bring the dummy over.
He wanted Lu Xian to control one of the dummies to go in and investigate.
Because this place has been determined by Lin Mo to be a trap. Since it is a trap, we must not let our own people enter. It is most suitable to control the dummy to enter.
By the way, let’s also see the dummy’s reaction.
The five dummies were actually a little uneasy from the beginning.
They obviously know this place.
Lin Mo caught the confession dummy in front of Lu Xian.
The dummy wanted to struggle and run, but in Lin Mo's hands, it had no chance.
Lu Xian came over at this time.
On Lu Xian's back, there was a nightmare integrated into it.
I don’t know how they grew up together. Anyway, it looked like one person was riding on another person.
That nightmare was special.
It is made of flesh and blood, but its ten fingers are extremely long, like bamboo poles, with a silk thread hanging in front of each finger.
It's like a puppeteer grafting something that controls wood onto its fingers.
Furthermore, this nightmare's head is actually a mirror.
An oval mirror about the size of your head.
At the beginning, a human face was reflected in the mirror. Lu Xian told Lin Mo that the other person looked like this, but if other targets were controlled, the scene seen by the controlled target could be reflected.
I don’t know about others, but Lin Mo was surprised when he saw this.
Is there such a nightmare?
How is this different from a remote control robot?
The dummy seemed to have seen something and struggled hard, but to no avail. It didn't say anything when Lin Mo asked it, so he let the 'puppet master' on Lu Xian's back control it.
In fact, it was the thin threads on the puppeteer's fingers that suddenly fell and wrapped around the neck and limbs of the dummy.
All of a sudden, the dummy's body began to shake, and then the puppeteer moved his fingers, and the dummy moved forward, taking strange steps.
"Team Leader Lin, the puppeteer cannot control the puppet for more than three minutes, otherwise, I may die." Lu Xian showed a painful expression at this time.
Obviously, using the power of the nightmare on his back is a kind of torture for him.
Three minutes?
That's enough.
The controlled dummy showed a horrified expression, but still walked into the old building without hesitation. Lin Mo looked at the puppeteer's mirror. From the mirror, he could see what the dummy was seeing at the moment.
scene.
It was pitch dark in the old building.
Can't see anything clearly.
So most of the mirrors are dim.
Lin Mo looked at the time and saw that one and a half minutes had passed.
As for Lu Xian, his face was pale now, his legs were shaking, and he was in more pain than before. Seeing this, expert Zhou hurried over to help him, otherwise, he was afraid that Lu Xian would not be able to hold on and fall to the ground.
The opponent's ability is very strong, but compared to it, it is also subject to more restrictions.
I hope I can discover something in the remaining minute.
In the vision in the mirror, a door appeared in front of me.
Lin Mo asked Lu Xian to control the dummy to open the door.
But at this moment, something in the mirror shook and flashed past.
The mirror immediately adjusted its angle, and the next moment, they saw a huge, fat shadow in the dark corridor.
"What is this?" Lin Mo said to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat black figure in the mirror suddenly rushed over.
Then, the black shadow exploded.
It really exploded.
The scene in the mirror disappeared instantly, and the mirror seemed to have been impacted, and actually produced several cracks.
Almost at the same time, the old building in the distance made a loud noise.
The remaining glass above was completely shattered, and even the walls and door frames were lifted up. The scene was just like a bomb explosion.
Lin Mo reacted quickly and immediately pulled Expert Zhou and Lu Xian to hide in an alley.
They were a hundred meters away, but they could still feel the vibrations there, and a lot of debris was flying over them.
It is conceivable that if they had been in that old building at that time, or even just at the door, they would have been affected by the explosion.
Death is certain.
When the vibration disappeared, Lin Mo took a look.
"It's really a trap!"
He was glad that he was cautious this time.
Thanks to the prophecy made by the clown, it turned out that the danger came from the unexpected. According to Lin Mo's previous habits, even if he knew it was a trap, he wouldn't pay special attention to it.
In his mind, a trap means ambushing the enemy in advance, or some kind of sneak attack.
Who would have thought that they would get you a bomber this time.
It's simply an exaggeration.
Needless to say, the dummy controlled by Lu Xian just now triggered a certain attack mechanism, which means that as long as someone enters this old building in the nightmare world, the bomber will rush out and explode himself.
Lin Mo had never seen this kind of nightmare that could self-destruct.
It was a mess outside. There were operational team members lying on the ground and injured, but fortunately they were far away and no one died.
This is the greatest blessing among misfortunes.
On the other side, an action team member ran over.
This is the person guarding and guarding the other four dummies on the perimeter.
"Report, when the explosion occurred just now, the four dummies really wanted to escape. Following the instructions of Team Leader Lin, we killed three of them and let one of them go."
An action team member said at this moment.
Expert Zhou was stunned.
Also, why didn’t I know about this?
He looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo smiled apologetically: "It was a temporary arrangement. I didn't expect there would be an explosion, but I guessed that if this was a trap, once something happened, they would definitely find a way to escape, so I made some arrangements in advance, and I was afraid that the estimate would be wrong, so
Didn't tell you."
Expert Zhou said with all his heart, I don’t believe it, you just want to keep it secret.
But he wouldn't say this.
Although I felt a little uncomfortable, I admired Lin Mo's way of doing things.
Only this kind of person can solve the dummy crisis.
Being entrusted with important tasks by the General Administration definitely does not depend on luck, but on strength.
"Team Leader Lin, have you arranged for the tracking experts from the action team to follow?" Expert Zhou asked.
This is also very normal.
Deliberately letting one go is just to catch the big fish in the long run.
As a result, Lin Mo shook his head.
"Don't underestimate those dummies. If you follow them, the possibility of being discovered is too high."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't send anyone to follow me!" Lin Mo said straightforwardly and confidently.
Expert Zhou was immediately confused.
He felt like Lin Mo was joking and went through the whole process in his mind.
From the moment the five dummies were captured, a trap was deliberately set up to lock the five of them together. At the same time, surveillance was set up in the cell, and enough guards were arranged in the nightmare world of the cell.
So the five dummies can only discuss secretly in the real world.
But this kind of discussion was actually a deliberate show by the five dummies.
Afterwards, they were interrogated separately and used alienation tactics. It seemed that they were forcing a dummy to betray him. In fact, the other party also used the trick and gave out an address.
Here is the key.
This address has obviously been manipulated a long time ago. If Lin Mo really believed the other party and brought people in, the only outcome would be death.
Of course, expert Zhou didn't know that even if Lin Mo went in and withstood the explosion, he wouldn't die.
Because Lin Mo has an immortal curse.
But expert Zhou didn't know about this, and the dummies probably didn't know either.
Let's talk about this trick. The trap was detonated and the surviving dummies escaped. Lin Mo arranged for people to kill three and let one go. At this point, he already had an absolute advantage.
As long as you follow this running away dummy, you will definitely gain something big.
But Lin Mo actually said that he didn't send anyone to follow him.
Expert Zhou came to this point and began to look at Lin Mo with suspicion.
Lin Mo smiled, he knew what Expert Zhou was thinking.
"Don't think blindly, I am not an accomplice of the dummy!"
Lin Mo said something and then took out a paper crane from his arms.
Expert Zhou blushed when he was guessed, and his attention was quickly attracted to the paper crane in Lin Mo's hand.
"What's this?"
"Paper Crane!"
"I know, I mean, what can this paper crane do?"
"I didn't send anyone to follow the escaped family because there was no need. With this paper crane, no matter where it is, we can find it."
After speaking, Lin Mo wrote a name on the paper crane.
What is written is that the dummy copied the name of a living person.
The dummy's copying ability is so strong that it can even fool paper cranes. Lin Mo has done experiments before, so he is so confident.
After writing the name, Lin Mo tore a few more holes in the wings of the paper crane.
Expert Zhou, like the curious baby, asked why this was happening.
"If I don't tear it apart, we won't be able to catch up with it."
After saying that, he blew on the paper crane.
"Go for it!"
The paper crane flapped its wings and flew forward.
This was the first time Expert Zhou saw him, and he was dumbfounded. The others almost hid, and Lu Xian also wanted to follow, but Lin Mo told him to have a good rest.
Lu Xian's face turned frighteningly pale when he used his control ability before.
"This time, it's enough for me and Expert Zhou to go, and everyone else will stay where they are and be on guard."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he followed the paper crane and walked over.
Expert Zhou followed quickly.
The paper crane didn't fly very fast, but it was flying after all, so the two of them had to jog to keep up.
Lin Mo thought he would have to walk a long way, but he didn't expect that the paper crane just turned two intersections and flew towards a store in front.
Lin Mo was stunned when he saw the store.
Expert Zhou next to him also widened his eyes.
"Hey, Team Leader Lin, isn't this the model shop you got off the car to visit before?"
