People in this strange foggy city like to wear dark-colored clothes.

Maybe they like this dark gothic style.

Lin Mo also follows the local customs.

He wore a gas mask, then found a top hat and put it on his head, and put on a black windbreaker.

Well, the fog has a ripper-like tone.

After listening at the door and finding nothing unusual, Lin Mo pushed the door open and went out.

There was still thick smog outside, but without the echo of the bells, there was no longer the kind of oppressive and suffocating feeling of fear.

Although it was also very scary at this time, Lin Mo felt that it was already very good.

Lin Mo didn't run around all the way here, he remembered the route.

Now we are going back along the same route.

Soon they arrived at the house where Xi Wenjun was accommodated.

Lin Mo found that the door was wide open.

When he saw this, his heart skipped a beat.

Go in and take a look.

As expected, there was no one there.

Xi Wenjun is missing.

To be honest, Lin Mo had expected this situation.

After all, it is impossible to stop Xi Wenjun with just a few doors.

I just don’t know whether Xi Wenjun went out on her own or was abducted by something.

Lin Mo hopes it is the former.

Because this way, at least there is a chance that I can come back again.

Lin Mo did not hesitate. He immediately went to the sewer to see if Xiaoyu was still there.

Now Sister Yue is missing and Xi Wenjun is also lost. If Xiaoyu were still alive, Lin Mo could still accept it, because at least he would have a companion.

Good luck.

The entrance manhole cover to the sewer was intact.

This means that nothing goes down and nothing comes out.

Lin Mo opened the lid and jumped in.

The situation in the sewers was a bit messy and many things were damaged.

This is normal.

Xiaoyu was driven crazy by the bell, so it's not surprising that she destroyed some things.

"Xiaoyu?"

Lin Mo shouted.

It was quiet in the sewer and no one responded.

Lin Mo began to search, shouting as he searched.

At first Lin Mo was confident, but soon he discovered that Xiaoyu didn't seem to be here.

Because he discovered that the sewers were actually interconnected. Some places had been blocked by iron fences before, but now they were destroyed, opening up the passages.

In this way, Xiaoyu might have passed through here and reached other places.

After confirming this, Lin Mo sat on the steps next to him, looking helpless.

"Each of these makes me worry."

Who would have thought that he would lose all three of them.

The missing person paper crane doesn't work very well here.

What to do now? Fortunately, Lin Mo has established a symbiotic curse with Xiaoyu, Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun.

In other words, if anything happened to the three of them, I would be able to sense it.

In addition, if they are within a certain range, they can sense each other.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much.

Find someone.

We have to hurry up.

Because there was not much time left until the next bell rang, Lin Mo looked at the hands on the pocket watch and estimated that it would only be ten hours.

And Lin Mo also thought of another troublesome matter.

If the bells in the third level of dreamland are periodic, then wouldn't Xiaoyu and the others go berserk every once in a while? This is definitely not possible.

I found it this time, but what about next time? We have to find a solution.

Or should we leave the third level of dreams and return to Horror Street?

This is an option, but Lin Mo doesn't want to go back like this unless it is absolutely necessary.

He remembered the purpose of coming to the third level of dreams.

Improve your strength.

He definitely couldn't just go back like this until this matter was done.

There are too many worries, Lin Mo can't think about them, he can only take one step at a time.

Lin Mo walked forward along the new passage opened in the sewer.

He planned to find Xiaoyu first.

It’s not because he and Xiaoyu have the best relationship, but because Xiaoyu’s abilities are very useful.

Mirror divination is amazing.

If we find Xiaoyu, and use the mirror to tell fortunes, then we can know who to look for next. So, we can find Xiaoyu first, and it will be the right thing to do.

Besides, Lin Mo felt that it was safer to move in the sewer than outside.

What could be in the sewer? Nothing more than some rats, bugs, and at best some scary corpses and evil spirits.

Lin Mo can handle all of these.

But it would be different if something appeared outside.

Just like the Fog City Ripper we encountered yesterday.

Lin Mo was no match for him. When he met him, he could only passively take the beating.

There are even more terrifying carriages.

Once discovered, there is no chance of survival, even the curse of the undead will be of no use.

Some pain and torture are far more terrible than simple death.

The newly opened sewer was like a new map. Lin Mo went forward and discovered many horrible corpses.

What excited Lin Mo was that many of the bodies he found died at Xiaoyu's hands.

Lin Mo could confirm this from the wounds and the way of death.

After all, I have been with Xiaoyu for a long time, so I can still recognize her skills.

This made Lin Mo very excited because the direction he was looking for was correct.

But this excitement disappeared when we encountered a three-way intersection ahead.

What I fear most at times like this is the fork in the road.

It's still a three-way intersection.

Obviously Xiaoyu can only choose one of them.

Lin Mo took out a paper crane and wrote Xiaoyu's name on it to see if the paper crane could give him some guidance.

The paper crane flew up, albeit slowly, but Lin Mo still breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the paper crane moves, it means it can be used.

There was little fog in the sewer, so the paper cranes were not affected as much as outside.

It was much easier with the paper crane leading the way. There were some forks in the road ahead, and it would have been almost impossible to find the correct route without the paper crane's guidance.

Soon, the paper crane flew to a passage in front, but there was a lot of haze there, so the paper crane flapped its wings twice and fell to the ground.

The toxins in the smog can apparently corrode the paper crane, rendering it useless.

Lin Mo put on a gas mask and walked into the smog.

After walking for a while, we saw that the area ahead was badly damaged, the ground had collapsed, and we could see directly outside.

After climbing up and looking around, Lin Mo didn't know where to go.

The roads here are well-connected, and Xiaoyu can go anywhere.

Lin Mo had no choice but to search based on his feelings.

However, a few hours later, Lin Mo found that his luck was not very good.

Not only did he fail to find Xiaoyu, but he himself seemed to be lost.

The area I walked through is too large and there are so many alleys here that I can’t remember them all even if I did, not to mention the thick smog and poisonous gas.

He opened his pocket watch and checked the time.

There are only a few hours left until the next bell ringing.

According to the current situation, Lin Mo may not be able to find anyone.

But he also made many discoveries.

After searching around just now, Lin Mo discovered that there were more 'dead people' in this place than he had imagined.

In fact, many houses are inhabited by 'dead people'.

Some of the 'dead' people even retain their previous living habits.

For example, Lin Mo saw someone running.

Running in this top smog day? Yes, Lin Mo was sure he was not mistaken.

And there was more than one person running, some ran slowly, and some ran very fast.

It's obvious that this person's physique is too strong. He runs without a gas mask. He must be a real big shot.

Every time Lin Mo saw this kind of big guy, he would take the initiative to get out of the way.

Judging from their distorted and almost disfigured expressions, it seemed that they wanted Lin Mo to join their dead running circle.

Lin Mo pretended not to see it.

Dare not respond.

Can't afford to offend.

I can only hide.

There are also people walking their dogs.

They were dressed quite gentlemanly, both men and women, all wearing gas masks.

It looked normal, but there was something a little off about the dog they were walking.

Some were skinless and running with blood all over their bodies.

Some have no heads, just their bodies running.

Some of them had been dead for who knows how long, and ended up being dragged away by their owners.

Thinking of the dead people from the Carnivore Association he had encountered before, Lin Mo felt that there was no normal person in this place.

Fortunately, he was also wearing a gas mask and a black windbreaker. From the outside, he blended perfectly into the local crowd. As long as he didn't say anything, there would be no difference from his appearance.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Lin Mo was able to get here smoothly.

At this moment, Lin Mo, who was walking on the road, suddenly heard a clang clang clang sound coming from not far away.

He subconsciously thought it was the ringing of a bell.

But it soon became clear that it was not.

The sound of a real bell is much deeper and duller than this, and the echo is very shocking.

But now the sound is more like the sound of a gong.

It's still a small gong.

Some of the 'pedestrians' on the road did not have any special reaction, but many of them walked in the direction of the sound.

Lin Mo thought about it and followed.

He wanted to see what was going on.

There is a small square in front, not very big, about the size of two basketball courts.

But because of the smog, it feels quite empty.

Quite a few people have gathered here. Looking closely, a man wearing a gas mask is beating a gong on the platform in front.

It really is a small gong.

Lin Mo stood at the back and looked around. When he saw nothing, he was about to leave. But then the person on the stage said that the trial was about to begin.

"This time, we have to put a few outsiders on trial."

Outsiders? Lin Mo stopped immediately.

Isn't he an outsider himself? Xiaoyu and the others are also outsiders.

Could it be that the people who are going to be judged here are Xiaoyu and the others?

Lin Mo naturally couldn't leave.

Not only did he not leave, he also found ways to squeeze forward.

Have to look closer.

"Stay away from me, you bastard, or I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the pigs." A big man was unhappy that Lin Mo squeezed him, and he immediately got angry and let out a low growl.

But when he looked at Lin Mo, he suddenly discovered something, was startled, and immediately hid aside.

Lin Mo found the answer from the other person's mumbling.

"Damn it, they are carnivores. These guys are crazy. It's best not to provoke them."

And I consider myself a carnivore again.

But it's okay this way.

It saves trouble.

Soon, the public trial in the small square began.

Lin Mo looked over carefully.

A man was dragged up on the wooden platform by two strong men wearing gas masks.

It's a man.

Lin Mo was a little disappointed.

But at the same time, I am also grateful.

Because if it was really Xiaoyu and the others who were dragged up, it didn’t seem like a good thing.

The outsider being judged on the stage was already dying. He didn't have a gas mask and was tortured by the smog.

His whole body was covered with blisters.

Lin Mo discovered that this outsider was actually a nightmare.

It should be some kind of murderer's nightmare.

But at this time, he was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Since it is an outsider, it should not be a nightmare born in the third layer of dreams. As far as Lin Mo knows now, the nightmares in the third layer of dreams are very scary.

There was no way he could be caught by these dead men.

"Look at this person. His body is occupied by evil. He is part of the devil. Our place is the result of the devil's destruction. So, we should..."

The man on stage is more like an instigator.

I deliberately paused at this moment, waiting for the person below to speak.

"Burn him!"

"Yes, burn him to death."

Someone took the lead, and then one by one the dead began to become fanatical and shouted angryly.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo saw a metal cross being pushed over.

This thing is like a barbecue grill. Although it has been cleaned, you can still smell the stench of barbecue from the black iron grill.

Apparently, this wasn't the first time this kind of trial had happened, and it wasn't the first time they had burned Nightmares.

Soon, the dying murderer was tied up, and someone piled up wood underneath and set it on fire.

The flames soon rose.

Amidst miserable screams, the murderer was burned to a charred corpse amid cheers and curses.

The hatred was released.

Lin Mo could see that the dead here were controlled by various dark emotions.

Although they are not nightmares, they are almost the same as nightmares.

Even the things they did were more terrifying than nightmares.

The funny thing is that their hatred is completely imaginary.

They think that the reason why this place has become what it is now is because of the devil.

And the outsiders are monsters controlled by the devil.

So they will capture all outsiders, and then execute them directly after a so-called trial.

There is currently only one method of execution.

It's fire.

madman.

They are all a bunch of lunatics.

Lin Mo lost interest.

But you still need to watch it patiently, because the trial has not ended yet, and I don’t know whether Xiaoyu, Yuejie or Xi Wenjun will be in the future.

Lin Mo hoped not.

If not, then I'm just wasting my time here.

For a moment, Lin Mo felt very conflicted, but there was nothing he could do. He could only continue watching, because he had to make sure that Xiaoyu and the others were not among the outsiders being judged.

Soon, the second outsider was pushed up.

It's an old woman.

It's quite scary, and in Lin Mo's opinion, the strength is not weak.

In fact, not much worse than myself.

Can this be caught?

Lin Mo felt that this group of lunatics were not weak. After all, it would be impossible to catch these outsiders without some special skills.

In other words, ordinary dead people in the third level of dreams are more powerful than nightmares in the first level of dreams.

After a while, the nightmare old woman was also burned.

The second time he watched Burning Nightmare, Lin Mo discovered that the fire was a little different.

There was something very strange about staring into the flames.

That is, get closer and then pounce.

Like a moth to a flame?

Lin Mo is not a moth, so what is the problem?

So Lin Mo began to carefully feel this strange impulse.

When burning the third nightmare, Lin Mo finally determined what went wrong.

"It's the Burning Curse!"

After realizing this, Lin Mo fell into new doubts.

Why is the Burning Curse so restless? It feels like it is constantly urging me to get closer to the flame, or even touch it.

There must be a reason.

Or, go over and touch it? (End of this chapter)
