"Why is Father Phil collecting so many curses?"

Lin Mo guessed that Father Phil might be studying the curse sequence like himself.

In addition to these bottles and jars, there is another room here, but it has an iron door with some scary words written on it:

God forbids this!

Who are you bluffing?

Lin Mo decided not to touch the iron door for the time being. What if there was something evil hiding inside? If he opened the door and let it out, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? It would not be too late to find out the situation first and then make the next plan.

Apart from the scary words, there is really no danger here.

Although there are dozens of curse sources, they are all soaked in special glass bottles.

Essentially, this is a form of sequestration.

The curse cannot be revealed.

It's like a bomb with the fuse removed. Although it's dangerous, strictly speaking, it's okay to lie next to it and sleep.

As long as your mental quality is strong enough.

Lin Mo is a man with very strong psychological quality. After checking around and finding no problems, he sat down on the chair here.

The candles are all special and can burn for a long time.

No smoke yet.

Not choking.

There are also many books and notes on the workbench.

Lin Mo flipped through the pages by candlelight.

As a result, Lin Mo was stunned when he saw this.

He frowned and looked carefully, with a strange expression, containing a kind of doubt and confusion, then disbelief, and finally after thinking, he showed a look of sudden realization.

Lin Mo himself did not expect that he would study Father Phil's notes here for more than three hours.

It's the kind of concentration that allows one to focus completely without being disturbed by any external factors.

It's more exciting than reading pornographic books.

The result really surprised Lin Mo.

Anyway, after reading it, Lin Mo's opinion of Father Phil changed 180 degrees.

"He is actually a good man!"

Lin Mo knew that the definition of a person cannot be simply based on good or bad. This is superficial and incomplete, because no matter how good a person is, he or she has an evil nature, and no matter how evil a person is, he or she has a good side.

But Father Phil is definitely a good man, and his good side is even greater.

From the other party's notes, Father Phil has only one goal, which is to eliminate the "evil" of this world.

Moreover, Father Phil had been exposed to the "nightmare invasion" even earlier.

At first he thought it was a demonic possession and called the nightmare a 'demon'.

He exorcises demons with his strong faith and willpower.

Successfully several times.

The result of coming into contact with evil is that you will inevitably be corroded by evil.

Father Phil had already thought of this and anticipated it, so he was also trying to exorcise the evil within himself.

It started with prayer.

Because he felt that since the 'devil' existed, the God he believed in must also exist.

The result was naturally disappointing to him. Countless prayers did not establish any connection with the God in his heart.

At that time, Father Phil realized that God did not exist and he could only rely on himself.

Most clergymen, if they get too deeply into the drama, will most likely collapse or degenerate after discovering that the so-called faith is just a beautiful scam and lie.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more terrible the hatred.

But Father Phil didn't do that.

He still maintains that pure heart.

This is what he wrote in his notes.

"God does not exist, but there is nothing wrong with faith. This is hope, this is dawn, this is a yearning for a better future. I will continue to move forward, rain or shine."

Look at how high their quality is.

For this reason, Lin Mo felt that Father Phil was a good man.

With no one to help him, Father Phil had to save himself.

He set up a kind of insurance for himself.

That is to use the curse.

It can be said that Father Phil is a pioneer in studying the nightmare world.

And there are many achievements.

The other party solved many extremely powerful nightmares in the three-level dream.

The sins on the wall of sin, and behind every piece of paper filled with sins, there is a terrible nightmare. Father Phil's forgiveness and redemption are a powerful weapon to dissolve the nightmare.

He saved many people.

Also killed a lot of terrible nightmares.

But the sin will not disappear just because Nightmare dies, so the sin he carries is increasing.

It's like constantly adding stones to your burden.

Sooner or later it will overwhelm him.

Father Phil knew that one day, once his mind was occupied by sin, he would become an extremely terrifying existence. So he thought of a way to suppress the countless sins in his body by ringing the bell.

But this can only be a relief.

Ultimately he hopes someone will kill him.

As for suicide, Father Phil had never thought about it.

In their teachings, suicide is the greatest sin.

If he really did that, the result would only be more horrific, and the numerous sins would turn him into the most terrifying demon.

The person chosen by Father Phil was Sophia.

When he knew that Sophia was harboring a powerful evil, he knew that the only one who could kill him was Sophia.

He detected the extremely terrifying curse of "regret" in Sophia's heart.

This kind of power can destroy the source of evil.

So he kept guiding Sophia.

Hopefully, after he loses his mind, Sofia can kill him.

End it all once and for all.

And Sophia agreed, and they made an agreement that if Sophia found that the bell no longer rang one day, it would mean that Father Phil had completely lost his mind.

At that time, Sophia needs to kill Father Phil.

Seeing this, Lin Mo felt that Father Phil also wanted to use this spirit of "sacrifice" to elevate himself to a higher level.

But Lin Mo was also curious why he couldn't be killed in advance.

Since we have decided to sacrifice ourselves, why not do it earlier? I have also discussed this later in my notes.

It turns out Father Phil had tried it, too.

But he discovered that while he had his sanity, he could not be killed.

He also possesses a curse similar to that of the Undead.

At this point, we need to focus on Father Phil’s research on curses.

In Lin Mo's opinion, the other party is definitely a master in this field.

These notes on curse research would be extremely valuable even if they were taken to the Academy of Sciences. After reading them, Lin Mo's cognitive ability and level were improved to a higher level.

I mentioned before how Father Phil suppressed sin.

He used a relatively simple but very effective method.

That's pain.

When people are drowsy, they can pinch themselves to wake up.

Even if you are already asleep, you can wake up instantly if you prick your body with a needle.

This is the blessing of pain on the spirit.

Sometimes, this negative feeling is actually a special stimulant.

Father Phil collected almost all the curses of painful sequences he could find, and then in batches, he bestowed them all upon himself.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but give Father Phil a thumbs up.

He is a ruthless person.

According to the notes, the other party found more than ten types of painful sequence curses.

How painful would it be if all ten kinds of painful curses were bestowed upon you?

The curse balance established by Father Phil uses painful curses to suppress top-level sins.

The balance can be maintained, but the whole process will definitely not be comfortable.

And this kind of pain will always exist. As long as people exist, this kind of pain will not disappear.

How much willpower does this require? So Lin Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with giving the other party a thumbs up.

In fact, when Lin Mo saw this, he realized that the bell ringing was related to Father Phil.

In other words, the real strange bell outside was also rung by Father Phil.

Then why is there Father Phil here? Could it be that there are two Father Phils?

Or is Father Phil here just Sophia's "imagination"?

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and shook his head.

It seems impossible.

The answer to this question was found in the notes that follow.

Father Phil and Sophia created this special 'painting world' together.

They have hidden some beautiful things here.

In other words, this is not the 'trash can' that Sofia mentioned, but a safe.

For example, these research notes and numerous sources of curses, Father Phil hid here, and he also split out a normal self to stay here to continue his research.

However, Father Phil clearly underestimated the horror of the source of evil.

This is how the terrifying Father Phil that Lin Mo had seen before came into being.

According to the notes, Father Phil here only has one-fifth of his original power.

Lin Mo counted on his fingers and took a breath.

In other words, the Father Phil he had met before was just a Father Phil with a broken bone. The problem was that he couldn't even deal with a Father Phil with a broken bone, let alone the real Father Phil.

If you encounter this kind of situation, won't you teach yourself how to behave in every minute?

"But the bell outside is still ringing. In other words, Father Phil outside still has some sanity. In that case, is it possible to communicate?"

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt a glimmer of hope again.

But what if we can communicate?

At this time, the person is sitting there and you can't kill him even if you want to.

Only when the opponent completely loses his mind can he be killed by top regret.

Another thing is that the small table knife, which is the carrier of the highest regret, cannot be touched by himself at all.

"Or else, trick Sofia's son out."

Lin Mo thought that this was feasible.

However, how to operate it still needs to be figured out.

This is basically the only way to do it in the overall situation, and it has been very rewarding, at least we don't have to cross the river by feeling the stones.

The origin of the bell outside was also figured out.

It was used by Father Phil to suppress the source of his own sin.

Lin Mo discovered that the three-layer dream, which was originally a mystery to him, had become clear in many aspects and he could see the essence of it.

This is a good thing.

What made Lin Mo even happier was that here were the curse sources of almost all the painful sequences.

This included several painful curses written on his own yellow paper.

They are '5-1 Skinning', '5-5 Heart-eating', '5-7 Bone-crushing', and '5-9 Extreme Cold'.

These four curses of painful sequence were also acquired by Lin Mo a long time ago, and he has never upgraded them, nor has he had the opportunity to do so.

Now is the chance.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can upgrade all four curses to the next level.

The improvement can be said to be huge.

Each curse source has a number, and the meaning of the number is recorded in detail in the notes.

What Lin Mo has to do is to find the bottles of these four curses according to the interpretation, and then swallow the source of the curse inside.

Soon, the four bottles were found.

The source of the flaying curse is a bloody flaying knife.

Take it out and place it on yellow paper.

The skinning curse was immediately enhanced.

Then Lin Mo followed the same method and upgraded the other three curses as well.

The process was not very comfortable, and it was even very painful for a while. After all, the curse that was being upgraded was of the Pain Sequence, and it was difficult to suppress it during the upgrade.

But the Gourmet Curse neutralizes the imbalance of this curse sequence very well.

When everything calmed down, Lin Mo felt that he was fine again.

It seems that he can overcome any difficulty.

But in fact, even if this improvement reaches 100% or 200%, in the terrifying environment of the third dream, it cannot be achieved as in the first dream.

You still have to be careful.

However, if it was in the second level dream, Lin Mo's current strength was enough to move sideways.

Even those horrible nightmares in Horror Street, such as those of Old Shen and the pet shop owner, could be easily suppressed by Lin Mo.

So in terms of strength, he has indeed made great progress.

The last part of Father Phil's notes is about his yearning for a better life.

"This place was created by Sophia and I. I have seen her innocence, her motherly love and her beauty. In order to save this poor child, I built a pure land for her here, a truly beautiful paradise. This is also the last thing I can do, behind that iron door. Unfortunately, I don't have time to complete this work... Finally, don't let Sophia see her as a child. If you do, something terrible will happen."

The last words were very sloppy.

It seemed as if Father Phil had lost control of himself at that moment.

He must have tried his best to write this.

The last word is a warning.

Lin Mo glanced at the iron gate over there.

I know this is the place mentioned in the notes.

But looking at the four words on the door, it doesn’t look like there’s any pure land or paradise inside.

But since Father Phil said there was no dangerous place inside, Lin Mo decided to open it and take a look.

The iron door was heavy, but not locked.

I pulled it open and looked inside, and a cool breeze blew out that didn't belong here.

It was like someone suddenly opened a window in a stuffy sleeper car, or like a warm spring breeze blowing in the cold winter.

Inside the door is a garden.

bright.

Grassy green and floral.

Lin Mo closed the door and opened it again, it was still the same.

This proved that he was not dazzled and it didn't seem like an illusion. After all, at this stage, Lin Mo, who had the triple powerful curses of gourmet, bewitchment and insanity, could hardly be hallucinated by anything.

That's true.

The garden is real, the flowers and plants in it are real, and the sunshine is real.

Lin Mo walked in and took a look.

He understood what Father Phil meant by the Pure Land and Paradise.

But this place is not big, and there are gaps in the ground, which should mean "no time to perfect this work", and this place has not been completed yet.

But even so, this is indeed a good place, and just staying here makes people feel healed.

It turns out that the words 'God has forbidden this place' written on the iron gate was indeed a bluff.

I guess according to Father Phil's original idea, he wanted to put some kind of curse, some kind of power on this iron gate to prevent any evil from entering.

Only in this way can the Pure Land be called the Pure Land.

If evil enters, it will no longer be a pure land.

Lin Mo stayed for a while and came out.

He still has his things to do.

The source of the curse from the other painful sequences in the basement needs to be dealt with.

But he hadn't figured out how to deal with Lin Mo for the time being.

Now most of the threats outside have disappeared, and Lin Mo's strength has been improved again. Even if there are some tough guys, he is confident that he can deal with them.

For example, the father who forced little Sophia in the studio.

Lin Mo made up his mind to kill this guy first.

Back in the studio, Lin Mo didn't need to hide this time. He found Sophia's father and killed him with one knife.

As for some minor curses, they can be easily resolved.

Logically speaking, Lin Mo could have gone out to report by now.

Because most of the things Sofia asked me to do have been completed.

The only thing that cannot be touched is the curse of regret. Lin Mo has no choice. There are also too many sources of curses in the basement, and it is not easy to move them.

But you can discuss this with Sofia and see what the other party plans to do.

But before that, Lin Mo remembered Father Phil's warning in his notes.

Don't let Sophia see her childhood.

Although he didn't know why, Lin Mo decided to avoid this risk.

He planned to find little Sophia and bring her behind the iron door.

Hide.

But Lin Mo had another idea in his mind.

At this stage, Lin Mo felt that there was no need for him to care about Sophia's expression outside the painting world.

We are now strong enough, and if a fight really comes, she may not be able to defeat us.

The eighteen curse sequences are all complete and well balanced. In addition, most of the curses have been strengthened by Lin Mo.

It can be said that Lin Mo is now in full configuration.

Things are different now.

Confidence naturally returned.

Lin Mo even had an impulse to slap Sophia in the face as soon as he got out. If she dared to talk nonsense, he would just fight her. It was hard to tell who would win or lose.

As a result, at this moment, Lin Mo felt something strange. He turned his head and saw someone.

It's the innocent version of little Sophia.

She stood at the door of the studio, looking at Lin Mo at a loss.

I guess she had just finished painting because she was still holding the brush in her hand.

Lin Mo was stunned and was about to speak.

Little Sophia immediately screamed in fright and turned and ran away.

Coincidentally, the direction she ran was the room with the exit frame.

Lin Mo hurriedly chased after him.

As a result, little Sophia saw this and ran even faster.

In a panic, she opened the door of the room and ran in.

"broken!"

Lin Mo didn't know what would happen if little Sophia saw Sophia outside, but because of Father Phil's warning, it shouldn't be a good thing.
