Daying Country, Kengdun City.

The pollution caused by industrial development is extremely serious. It is foggy outside from morning to night. Today, the Taihe Daily said that the place where they live can be called the "Fog City".

"Fog City, very descriptive, but these people can only complain. They don't know that this is an inevitable stage of development. They don't understand anything. A group of mud-legged people came to the big city and thought that they were civilized people because they wore decent clothes, drank milk, ate bread, and picked up pens. But in fact, they are just garbage in this society and will be swept into the trash can sooner or later."

A middle-aged gentleman with a serious expression.

He is educating his daughter.

My daughter is only in her teens, but she looks very thin. She is painting with a paintbrush, but because she has not eaten for a long time, the weakness caused by hunger and the craving for food in her stomach make it difficult for her to concentrate.

"Sophia, you need to concentrate. You didn't do well before, so I'm punishing you by not letting you eat for a day. You can only eat if you meet my requirements."

The father hit the girl on the back with the stick in his hand.

The pain made her body twitch, and as a result, her paintbrush accidentally messed up the painting she had just finished.

"You are useless. Sophia, you are distracted again. I have told you many times that when you are doing something, you must concentrate all your energy. Now, redraw it immediately. You can't go anywhere until you finish it."

In the studio next to the garden, scolding sounds could be heard from time to time.

It was not until very late that Sophia had anything to eat.

But to punish her for her mistake today, she only had a small bite of dinner.

She licked the plate clean.

But even so, I still feel hungry.

What’s interesting is that if you don’t eat for a long time and become too hungry, you will just feel weak and powerless, and the feeling of hunger will not be obvious.

But what I’m afraid of is this, being hungry for a period of time and then eating a little bit.

You won’t die from hunger, but feeling hungry for a long time is definitely a huge torture.

Sophia felt that her father was an indelible nightmare to her, a horrible curse that made people fall into despair and pain.

The only thing she remembers most vividly about her growing up process is satisfying her hunger. Apart from that, it is the slight sense of satisfaction she felt after eating.

Sophia is a strong girl.

She would find ways to relieve her emotions with other things.

For example, she likes small animals.

There is a small ranch behind the estate with many cows. When she has nothing to do, she will go to the cowshed and talk to the cows.

This was a rare moment of relaxation for her.

And she liked talking to these cows, because they never got angry with her, nor showed impatience, nor were they two-faced or made false promises.

But this happiness did not last long.

One day her father discovered her little secret.

Then that was the first time she ate so much.

Her father killed her favorite heifer in front of her and made her eat the cut pieces of meat.

The cow's head was placed on the dining table.

Sophia will never forget that scene.

She ate the beef with tears in her eyes.

At that moment, her heart was like raw meat on a plate, which she chewed and swallowed.

The strange thing is that even though she ate a lot of meat, she still didn't feel full.

No, her stomach was full, but she still felt hungry.

And this feeling of hunger was a hundred times stronger than when she was hungriest.

When a person endures what he cannot bear, the final result is either destruction or madness.

Sophia became the latter.

In her adult year, her father disappeared.

Young Sophia inherited everything from her father.

Including the manor and everything here.

Later, she married a businessman and gave birth to a child.

It seems that the painful memories in my memory have slowly disappeared with the passage of time, just like being covered by the sand on the beach.

It is flat and no different from the surrounding beaches.

But if you encounter big waves that break away the sand on the surface, you will find something underneath that is so horrifying that it will make you despair.

…

Lin Mo found that the gourmet was holding the bitten apple, motionless, with a strange expression on his face.

The cow's head is already weird enough, and if the cow's expression is even weirder, it would be the weirdest of the weird.

Lin Mo looked at the motionless gourmet, then at the apple in her hand, and finally at the strange painting.

The portrait in the painting is out of view, so there is only the background.

The current situation is very strange.

At this time, most people's minds would go blank and they wouldn't know what to do.

After all, Lin Mo had experienced a lot, so he immediately deduced several possibilities.

The most likely possibility is that the gourmet found something from the bitten apple.

It should be memory.

Lin Mo remembered his brother saying that some nightmares were so terrifying that even the nightmares themselves could not bear it.

So these nightmares often do some incredible things.

For example, they may hide some of the more horrifying and dark things within themselves, or their vital points and things they regard as treasures.

At this time, the gourmet who had been silent suddenly spoke.

“I remember now!”

Lin Mo was stunned and asked what you remembered.

"I remember everything. Everything."

Lin Mo asked, "What did you remember? Just tell me."

While speaking, Lin Mo looked at the exit.

No, to get to the exit, you have to pass the gourmet.

So he began to look for other routes to escape.

That’s right, Lin Mo was ready to run away.

He sensed danger.

And this danger comes precisely from gourmets.

I didn't expect that the seemingly honest and simple gourmet would actually be the final boss?

If that's the case, that's bad.

Lin Mo had seen with his own eyes how terrifying this gourmet was. He easily suppressed Sister Yue, and he thought it would be a piece of cake for him to pin him to the ground.

All we can do now is delay it as much as possible.

As for what happened, Lin Mo didn't know, but it was definitely related to the apple.

That's right.

Lin Mo has another plan.

Quite adventurous.

Because the apple was the source of the curse, Lin Mo felt that perhaps, possibly, probably, if he took the initiative, he might be able to snatch the apple away.

Then come into contact with the yellow paper and swallow the source of the curse.

By then, his Glutton's Curse should be able to be upgraded, and his strength will most likely increase, but this takes time and will not be effective immediately.

Even if the results are immediate, it is still unclear whether the person can outperform the gourmet after the improvement.

"You want to run?" the gourmet said at this time with a smile.

As if mocking.

"Can you see this?" Lin Mo asked.

"I'm not stupid." The gourmet said, "Oh, wait a minute."

After saying that, the gourmet took off his head in front of Lin Mo.

It's the cow's head.

A person took off his own head, and the scene was quite shocking.

Fortunately, Lin Mo was able to bear it. Most people would not be able to bear it and would probably die on the spot.

Afterwards, the gourmet waved his hand, and a ghost with a pale body and black eyes walked out of the painting, holding a head.

Beautiful woman's head.

The gourmet took it and pressed the head against her own body.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Sophia, and Gourmet is just another name for me."

"I like painting. It's my only way to relieve my emotions. I've been to the bullpen before, but because of some things, I haven't been there again."

"The bell amplified the dark side of my heart. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I began to throw my dark side into this painting, including my fear, my despair, my pain, my memories, and of course, the curse on me."

"It's like, throwing garbage into the trash can!"

She made a gesture as if she was throwing something.

Next, gourmet Sophia talked about her past and growth experience.

Lin Mo didn't want to listen, but now he could only listen obediently.

What I was thinking about was when the other party would attack me.

"Are you wondering when I will attack you?" Sophia suddenly asked.

This monster is indeed smart and observant.

"Don't worry, our previous agreement is still valid. Although some of my bad memories have come back, it doesn't change my original idea, which is to get this damn curse away from me."

Having said that, Lin Mo pointed at the apple in the other person's hand and said, "Why don't you just give this to me?"

Just trying to ask.

As a result, Sophia smiled and threw the apple over.

Lin Mo quickly caught it.

The other party just gave me the source of the curse?

Lin Mo felt that it was a bit unrealistic. Why did she scare him just now? Could it be that Sophia was born with a bad taste?

That's not right either.

The sense of danger is real. This guy is moody and it would only take a blink of an eye for him to kill me.

It's just a matter of thought.

So you have to behave well and not let the other party have the intention to kill you.

In simple terms, just be a little bit better.

The apple was very fresh, and the bite marks on it looked as if someone had just taken a bite of it.

You can even smell the fragrance of apples amidst the strong smell of the curse.

Sophia nodded on the other side: "This is just one of the sources of the curse. I'll give it to you first, and you need to help me remove all the curses. If you lose one, I will eat you."

This time Sofia showed her fangs.

Boy, that's a bit scary.

Although among all the monsters and ghosts that Lin Mo has seen, Sophia's appearance can definitely be compared with the three beautiful female ghosts around him, and she is even better in some aspects of noble lady and queen temperament.

But it is undeniable that she is really terrible.

It fits the positioning of a super big boss.

"Is there more than one source of the curse?"

Lin Mo muttered to himself.

At this moment he suddenly realized something and asked Sophia, is the curse you are talking about the same type or a different type.

“Some are of the same kind, and some are not.”

"How can that be possible..." Lin Mo was anxious, but as soon as he said a word, he noticed the murderous aura flowing from Sophia.

Lin Mo immediately changed his words.

"I think there's no problem. Don't worry. I'll take care of it."

"very good!"

Sophia smiled.

It is undeniable that she looks really beautiful when she smiles. There is an almost weird charm and temptation in her. No wonder the doctor has been obsessed with her for so long.

Even if I turn into a cow's head, I will never leave you.

But when it comes to the doctor, Lin Mo feels that his death is not worth it.

Sophia was eaten by the weird self-portrait, but she didn't ask a single question from beginning to end. It is conceivable that no matter in the real world or the nightmare world, those who bootlick will not have a good death.

"Then, go look in my trash can and get rid of those nasty curses. Remember, if you can't do it, I will not only eat you, but also the doll waiting for you in the carriage outside, even if she doesn't look delicious."

Sophia threatened.

Can't afford to offend.

Really can't afford to offend.

This Sophia is scarier than a spider.

Fortunately, the other party wants to do things on his own, but with Spider, it is a life-and-death hatred.

"Then how do I get in?" Lin Mo took a look at the painting.

Just after asking the question, Lin Mo felt dazed for a moment, and the next moment, Sophia was already in front of him, very close to him.

You can kiss her just by pouting your lips.

Lin Mo was just about to say that I am not such a casual person, but Sophia pushed him away.

It felt like being hit by a truck.

The whole person flew.

When Lin Mo fell to the ground and looked again, he had already entered Sophia's painting.

The smell of curses here was as strong as coffee with double sugar and milk, mellow and heavy. It was obvious that Sophia had thrown in countless terrible curses.

You really treat this place as a trash can.

Outside, the frame was like a window, and Sofia was standing outside with a smile on her face, making a gesture of eating.

Still threatening.

Lin Mo gave her a thumbs up, indicating that he could do it and asked the leader to rest assured.

Lin Mo turned around and started scolding.

To be honest, the scolding was a bit harsh, but can I blame myself? Who told this crazy woman Sophia to do such a thing?

But no matter how much you curse, you still have to get things done.

This was not only because Sophia threatened him, but also because Lin Mo himself needed to strengthen the curse on him.

It was supposed to be a win-win situation, but Sophia turned it into a form of coercion.

How could Lin Mo not agree if she said it nicely? Lin Mo first familiarized himself with the environment. This was a room similar to a studio, except that it was smaller and had nothing in it.

Lin Mo walked over and pushed the door open from the only exit.

Going out and closing the door, Lin Mo found that there was a corridor outside.

But he was in no hurry to explore now.

Let’s swallow up the source of this apple curse first.

Lin Mo took out the yellow paper skillfully and placed the apple on it.

The next moment, the apple sank into the yellow paper as if it had fallen into water.

Waves of cursed aura spread and jumped on the yellow paper.

Lin Mo immediately felt a sense of hunger.

It's quite strong.

Looking at the yellow paper again, there was one more curse in the original sequence.

5-11, hunger! Lin Mo was stunned, feeling that he had miscalculated. Instead of strengthening the existing curse, he added a hunger curse.

It seems like a bit of a loss.

But soon Lin Mo discovered that the words of the hunger curse and the questions of the gluttony curse on the yellow paper were confidently connected.

It was as if someone had drawn a line between the two curses with a bloody pen.

Also drew a circle.

In an instant, Lin Mo felt that his strength was growing like weeds.

The disappointment I had felt before was rekindled at this moment.

“I didn’t expect that these two curses could complement and support each other?”

Lin Mo had indeed not thought of this before.

I feel that this effect is more powerful than directly strengthening a curse.

In an instant, Lin Mo felt that he was able to do it again.

Confidence is back.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo even had the illusion that the curse and horror here were nothing serious.

He glanced at his curse.

Gluttony, 2 types of steel (enhanced), vampire, skinning, heart eating, bone breaking, burning (enhanced), bewitchment, aging, ghost eyes, symbiosis, psychosis, ghost bite, extreme cold, undead, hunger.

There are seventeen curses in total.

There were originally only sixteen curse slots on the yellow paper, but Lin Mo also had the Ring of Greed, which added two more curse slots. But even so, there is only one curse slot left.

Since there are so many kinds of curses here, if possible, Lin Mo will try to find some curses that can strengthen the existing curses.

Similar to the mutual enhancement of 'Hungry' to 'Glutton'.

Put away the yellow paper.

With his confidence boosted, Lin Mo smiled as he looked at the corridor in front of him.

His job was to remove the curse from here, and so he started in this corridor.

Lin Mo could feel that there was a curse in this corridor.

As for how to remove the curse, Lin Mo's idea is to use it yourself if you can, and if you can't use it, try to burn it, and if it can't be burned, take it away.

As long as we take it away from Sophia's dark painting world, the requirement will be met. Once we get outside, we can just throw it somewhere else.

Or find a few damned evil people and put the curse on them.

The corridor is very long, extending to the darkness in front on both sides. The decoration is quite good, with wooden floors and a wooden table with vases on it placed every few steps.

But the bouquet inside had already withered.

There is a scent of curse here, but Lin Mo can't tell what kind of curse it is.

He tried to move forward, looking out of the windows as he passed.

It was pitch black outside.

Try opening the windows.

Failed.

The window seemed to be welded shut and couldn't be opened at all.

Keep going.

The table, flower pots, and windows that I had just touched did not have the scent of the source of the curse.

But Lin Mo could feel that the source of the curse here was very close to him.

It's so close.

But if you look closely, you can't see it. It's like scratching an itch through a shoe. You can't scratch the real itch no matter how hard you try.

After walking for more than ten meters, Lin Mo saw another door to a room. Further ahead, there was still a table, a vase, and a window.

Lin Mo walked to the door of the room, opened it and looked inside.

Then, he was stunned.

Isn’t this the room he just came out of?

Sophia in the picture frame over there was smiling at him.

Close the door quickly.

This woman can't be looked at too much, or she'll get high.

Something is wrong.

"I just walked forward, how could I open the same door again? Could it be that there are two doors in that room?"

Lin Mo talked to himself, but soon he overturned this speculation which had no basis at all.

He had seen that room before. It was very small and had only one door. The distance he walked was at least twenty meters, so there was no possibility of him entering the room again.

Moreover, he took a branch line, and did not turn left, left, left, left, and go in circles.

Lin Mo looked at the withered flowers in the vase, the windows, and the paintings on the wall.

After thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed the vase and continued walking forward.

I walked about another twenty meters and saw the door and the table, but the vase on the table was gone.

"Understood!"

Regarding the curse sequence, after being reminded by many book friends, the missing extreme cold and undead curses have been added. Currently, Lin Mo masters seventeen curses.
