"Who are you?"

I have never seen this number before, but the person on the other end of the phone knows who I am and where I am going. He should be someone who knows me, or possibly a staff member of the General Administration.

So Lin Mo spoke quite politely.

"Remember, don't enter the East Suburb Abandoned Mine, or you will regret it."

After saying this, the other party hung up.

There was a beeping sound coming from the receiver.

Lin Mo looked at the phone. This number was only known to familiar people, or someone from the General Administration knew it. But the other party did not reveal his identity and just said this directly, which was obviously a bit abnormal.

At least explain clearly why you are not allowed to enter the East Suburb Abandoned Mine.

Lin Mo called back immediately.

The call fails and the message says that the number does not exist.

Lin Mo immediately dialed the number of the headquarters.

He told the situation that had just happened and Lin Mo also told him the number. He believed that with the investigation ability of the General Administration, they would be able to find out the origin of this number quickly.

As for the abandoned mine, Lin Mo was not in a hurry to go in.

It's still early now. Besides, Lin Mo has always been cautious in doing things. Maybe the mysterious call was from a leader of the General Administration. As the saying goes, it's better to listen to advice than to eat your fill.

Then don’t go in for now.

It's nice to stroll around and look at the mountains and water.

However, Lin Mo had not been away for two minutes when the headquarters called back.

Tell Lin Mo that no information can be found on this number.

"What do you mean there is no information available?"

Lin Mo didn't quite understand. Isn't it a real-name system now? There should be at least some information about the place of origin, right? As a result, the operator of the General Administration told Lin Mo: "This number doesn't exist at all."

This time Lin Mo understood.

Non-existence means non-existence.

In other words, a non-existent number just called me and warned me not to enter the East Suburb Abandoned Mine.

Isn't this a real-world haunted place ?

"The General Administration has arranged monitoring personnel. If there are any more strange calls like this or similar calls, we can try to track and locate his location in real time."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

This is all we can do now.

Obviously, some unexpected changes had taken place. Lin Mo originally wanted to come to the East Suburb Abandoned Mine to investigate, but he received a mysterious call from a non-existent number.

What should I do now? Go back?

That’s definitely not possible. Now that we’re here, we have to get to the bottom of everything.

Lin Mo thought again, since the phone call didn't allow him to go in, if he insisted on going in, the other party would definitely be angry. If he was angry, he would call again, and in this way, the technicians monitoring the headquarters could lock the other party's location.

If they don't call, it means it's a harassing call, just ignore it.

This is the only thing we can do for now.

Of course, Lin Mo also became more alert. He took out his gun from his clothes.

To be honest, this thing is of no use even though I carry it with me all the time.

It's of no use.

But now it can be used. Lin Mo checked the condition of the gun, removed the magazine and took a look, pulled the slide a few times, and fired a few blanks to make sure there was no malfunction.

The crisp sound of metal collision gives people a sense of security.

Then reload the magazine, pull the slide, load the bullet, and turn on the safety.

This way, when an emergency occurs, you can just pull out your gun, flip the safety, and fire directly.

After putting away his gun, Lin Mo walked into the mining area.

There are tall coal towers here, and many of the buildings look old. They were built at least forty or fifty years ago and are now very dilapidated.

Because it has been abandoned, the glass is broken in many places.

The road ahead was blocked by barbed wire. Lin Mo found a place, pressed it with a wooden board, and climbed over.

Inside, it was quiet.

Let’s take a walk around the office building in front first.

The inside is cleaner than the outside. There are no homeless people coming into this place, so there is nothing special except that there is some dust.

Some of the walls still had award certificates and work records hanging on them, but the paper had turned yellow and was covered in dust.

Lin Mo came out of the building and walked to the back.

This is already a polluted area, and the direction Lin Mo is heading is the direction of the pollution source.

Halfway through the journey, the phone rang again.

In this quiet place, the ringing sound spread and even had an echo.

He answered.

"Didn't I tell you not to come in? Why can't you understand what I'm saying?" The voice on the other end of the phone was anxious.

Hey, he's anxious!

Lin Mo smiled: "I don't even know who you are, why should I listen to you?"

"I'm your fucking uncle!" The person on the other side started swearing.

"I am your uncle!" Lin Mo was also angry and retorted directly.

The person on the other end of the phone was very angry: "Okay, whatever you want, just don't regret it when the time comes."

After saying that, the phone hung up.

"How can you curse at me!" Lin Mo muttered and continued walking forward.

After a while, the phone rang, but this time it was from the headquarters.

After the call was connected, the person who spoke was not the previous operator, but a different person.

"Lin Mo, I'm Academician Chen from the General Administration's Research Institute. We've met before." His voice was steady and you could tell he was an important figure.

I remember.

After Lin Mo got the black phone, the General Administration sent someone to ask for it back.

Of course, for Lin Mo, it is borrowed.

After the research, it needs to be changed.

The person who borrowed the mobile phone at that time was Academician Chen. Chen Bing said that Academician Chen was the second-in-command among the researchers, second only to Professor Xie.

"Hello, Academician Chen, are you planning to return my phone to me?" Lin Mo was afraid that the other party had forgotten, so he took the initiative to remind him.

There was silence for a few seconds.

"That black phone still needs a few days of research. Don't worry, I'll return it to you after the research. I'm talking to you not because of this matter, but it's related. Didn't you just receive two calls from unfamiliar numbers in a row?"

"Yes, I just hung up not long ago."

"What did you say?"

"Say... Hey, aren't you guys monitoring it?"

Lin Mo reacted and asked curiously.

Academician Chen said helplessly: "They didn't hear anything. Later they found out that the call was made from that place, so there was no way to track it."

That place?

Lin Mo thought about it and understood instantly.

"Nightmare world?"

"Yes!" Professor Chen continued, "Now you know why I was alarmed, right? Who is the other party and what did he say?"

Lin Mo did not hide it: "That person did not allow me to enter the East Suburb Abandoned Mine. I did not listen and started to curse. He has no manners at all."

"Lin Mo, please wait for a moment and stay where you are. We will conduct another assessment and investigation on the pollution area of ​​the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs of Luoyan City. Please wait for orders."

"Is it okay for me to take a stroll?"

"It's okay, but be careful. Colleagues from the Security Bureau will be there soon. Before that, don't enter the nightmare world of the mining area."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo's expression became a little serious.

He really didn't expect that the mysterious phone call just now came from the nightmare world.

The question is, who shot him? At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly felt a chill behind him. He immediately turned around and drew his gun in one go.

After all, he had undergone intensive training for more than half a month. Although he was not as skilled as those veterans in using guns, he was still more skilled than ordinary people.

There was no one behind him.

It was extremely quiet all around.

Lin Mo felt something was wrong because it was too quiet. Soon, he realized that it was so quiet here that even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared.

Almost at the same time, Lin Mo felt a fluctuation.

This wave is moving.

“It’s the source of pollution!”

The smell of the pollution source is very special, most of it is things that are projected back from the nightmare world into the real world.

But in most cases, they are dead objects.

Very little can be moved.

The next moment, Lin Mo felt someone suddenly push him from behind. The force was so great that it was like being hit by a bull. Lin Mo immediately stumbled forward.

When I looked up again, the scene around me was different.
