In an instant, the nightmare felt a huge pressure and danger coming towards him.

It's like standing on the railway tracks and looking at the oncoming train.

The little bit of malice in it was instantly crushed by this momentum.

In terms of reaction, this nightmare was also very quick. It loosened its hands and immediately raised its octopus-like claws.

It means I'm loose.

You can't do that again.

Walking closer, Lin Mo first glanced at Tao Xuan who was lying there.

The child was still a little confused, but he seemed to be fine.

The anger in his heart subsided a little. If this nightmare had moved a little slower, or if anything happened to Tao Xuan, Lin Mo would have chopped him with his knife.

He looked at the nightmare again.

Logically speaking, the other party had plenty of opportunities to kill Tao Xuan before, but he didn't do it. Lin Mo was very curious about what this nightmare was going to do.

At this time Liu Gang also entered this place.

He had also seen it just now. After Lin Mo walked over with the knife in his hand, the nightmare that was so terrifying in his eyes and that no one dared to provoke him immediately became timid.

"Coward!"

Liu Gang couldn't help but curse in his heart, thinking back to before, when he came in, he begged the other party to let Tao Xuan go, but this nightmare didn't even look at him straight in the eye.

Comparing the before and after, the gap is too big.

Liu Gang also walked over at this time and just happened to hear the nightmare man explaining the problem on his own initiative.

It was like a wandering nightmare that found a nice place to stay, so it stayed.

As for why it haunted Tao Xuan, it was because it liked children.

"I have killed many people, men and women, but never a child."

These are the original words of Octopus Nightmare.

It didn't want Tao Xuan to wake up because it felt lonely and wanted a child to accompany it.

Liu Gang's scalp tingled after hearing this. It was obvious that this nightmare was indeed very ferocious. Under normal circumstances, it should be killed.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lin Mo's tone was a little excited: "Do you like children?"

Octopus Nightmare nodded hastily.

"Great!" Lin Mo said, "Where I live, there are many children, and there is no one to look after them on weekdays. I have been worrying about this matter. I think you are good at taking care of children. How about this, you follow me, and next time I will take you back, I will set up a kindergarten, and you will be the principal of the kindergarten."

Liu Gang was stunned.

What surprised him even more was that the octopus nightmare actually nodded and agreed.

Liu Gang felt like he had walked into the wrong set. This should be the part where they were exorcising demons and monsters. He had even drawn his knife, thinking about defending justice with Expert Lin and getting rid of this vicious nightmare.

Even, prepared to sacrifice.

As a result, it turned into a recruitment program without anyone noticing.

This nightmare suddenly transformed into Expert Lin's man.

The situation changed too quickly and too magically. Liu Gang could hardly accept it and his mind was as chaotic as a car accident scene.

"But words are not enough. You should make a written agreement, Xiaoyu. You should ask him to write an agreement and swear an oath. If he violates the agreement, the oath and curse will teach him a lesson!"

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Xiaoyu appeared and handed a paper and pen to the nightmare opposite.

Liu Gang is now completely convinced.

Is this the senior expert from the General Administration’s expert group?

It's amazing. The nightmare that is usually ferocious is like a child who has made a mistake in front of Expert Lin. He stands properly and can be manipulated at will. And Expert Lin's female secretary, wearing a black dress, is so cool.

While he was swearing a poisonous oath, Lin Mo first woke Tao Xuan up in his dream.

The child opened his eyes dazedly, glanced at Lin Mo, and then looked at the nightmare over there.

He didn't show any sign of panic.

Lin Mo pointed at the nightmare and asked, "Do you know him?"

Tao Xuan nodded: "It said it was lonely and asked me to play with it."

Lin Mo nodded. Apparently, the nightmare he had before was not a lie.

This is indeed the case. It has been more than twenty-four hours since last night. If it had been any other nightmare that really wanted to kill people, Tao Xuan would have died countless times.

Therefore, the fact that Lin Mo didn't kill it was also the result of its own good deeds.

The oath was taken and the signature was signed.

Under Xiaoyu's control, this agreement turned into a thin iron chain snake and drilled into the body of this octopus nightmare.

All done! "Will it possess me?" Lin Mo asked the octopus nightmare.

The latter said yes, as long as there was water.

Lin Mo looked around and found a bottle of mineral water projected from the real world on the table over there.

"Give me one, let me see it!" Lin Mo unscrewed the lid and handed it to Octopus Nightmare.

This guy is really good. He put the mineral water bottle on the ground and then drilled into the tiny bottle cap.

It really got in.

But the water in the bottle also turned completely black.

There was a chill and horror about it.

Lin Mo picked it up and screwed the lid on. That was it. He could carry it with him.

He reached out and checked the time.

When the set time came, Lin Mo in the real world opened his eyes and woke up Liu Gang over there.

Only ten minutes had passed.

This was also the time Lin Mo set for himself. In the opinion of Tao Xin and the others, ten minutes was obviously not enough. At most, it was enough to investigate the situation.

Lin Mo didn't answer directly. He walked over and patted Tao Xuan's face.

“Wake up!”

The next moment, Tao Xuan, who had been comatose for a day and a night, woke up.

Sometimes, facts speak louder than words. Lin Mo doesn't need to say much about this matter. Just look at the effect.

Tao's parents were naturally overjoyed, crying and laughing with excitement.

Lin Mo also understood. Seeing that Mr. Tao was not young anymore, he would certainly treasure the son he had in his old age.

"I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first!"

Lin Mo felt that he had wasted a lot of time.

If he were asked to handle it again, he would set the wake-up time to 5 minutes.

"Expert Lin, thank you, thank you so much. Let me treat you to a meal." Tao Xin hurried over, and it was obvious that she felt relieved.

"Did you forget that I just ate?"

"Oh, sorry, I was too excited just now. Well, I'll buy you some tea."

"Some other time."

Lin Mo had made up his mind to leave. Under normal circumstances, it would be nice to spend some time with a top female star like Tao Xin, but now all he could think about was the person who had disappeared from his memory.

Lin Mo couldn't sleep or eat unless this matter was clarified.

"Okay then. I'll take you there." Tao Xin knew that Lin Mo did have something going on. To be honest, this matter of Lin Mo felt very strange. Among the classmates, there was actually a person whom he didn't know at all. This was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that others said that he had a very good relationship with that person.

If it were her, she would probably not be able to sleep either.

It was very nice of Lin Mo to help her despite his busy schedule.

Tao Xin kept this favor in mind.

From now on, whenever Lin Mo asked her to do something, she would definitely do her best to do it.

Because they didn't drive here, Tao Xin insisted on sending Lin Mo to the Qianlong Safe Zone, and Lin Mo didn't refuse.

In the car, Lin Mo called Chen Bing.

No one answered.

I guess he is on a mission.

After thinking about it, Lin Mo called the Security Bureau bus directly.

That is not a hotline set up for ordinary people. Only members of the General Administration's expert group can call this line. After all, only they can obtain the corresponding number and authority.

This line is dedicated to serving the expert group of the General Administration.

Lin Mo had fought before, but they were all nightmare incidents that were reported to him for handling. He didn't know if he would handle such private matters.

But now Lin Mo can't find anyone else to help.

Looking for Director Xu of the Sanqiao Branch? He has great power in Houniao City, but he is definitely not as efficient as the General Administration in investigating other places.

The call was connected instantly.

Lin Mo felt that there must be someone on duty there 24 hours a day.

"Hello, please identify yourself."

The voice on the line was a female one, pleasant but calm and steady.

Lin Mo read out his expert group number and name, and at the same time, entered the password through his mobile phone.

"Hello, Expert Lin Mo, what can I do for you?"

"I have something I'd like you to help investigate. To be precise, it's a private matter!" Lin Mo was still a little embarrassed.

The reply was quick: "This line is for the experts of the General Administration, including personal matters. Please let me know if you need any help."

Does the General Administration still have this benefit? I didn't notice it before.

Lin Mo organized his words and said that he wanted the General Administration to help investigate the situation of a female student named Liu Jia who was in his high school class.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't ask why, but replied directly: "OK, we will contact you after we have the results of the inquiry. Is there anything else?"

“No more!”

"Okay, have a nice day, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo looked at the bright lights and nightlife outside the car window.

Qianlong City and Tunjing City are the two most dazzling pearls in the north and south of China. Even under the pressure of the nightmare crisis, they still maintain normal operation.

And as long as the safe zone is truly established and a large number of residents are transferred in, these two cities will still be pearls, both now and after the nightmare doomsday comes in the future.

Tao Xin and Lin Mo were chatting on the way.

A few minutes later, the phone rang. Lin Mo looked at the number and answered it.

"Expert Lin, the results of the investigation into your high school classmate Liu Jia are out. Liu Jia, female..." The person on the other end of the phone had obviously investigated Liu Jia's background thoroughly, even knowing the situation of her three generations of ancestors, relatives and friends.

"…Five years ago, Liu Jia went missing after going out. His family reported him to the police, but he has never been found. He is currently listed as a missing person!"

Missing? Lin Mo frowned.

He was thinking that if it didn't work, he would find Liu Jia and ask about the situation in person. How could he ask about it if she was missing? However, the next sentence on the other end of the phone made Lin Mo stunned.

"Expert Lin, you should know about this because you were the one who accompanied Liu Jia's family to call the police."
