The Academy of Sciences is the Academy of Sciences. Even in the nightmare world, the laboratories are brightly lit.

Because it was bright, it was easy to spot the cardboard box not far away.

The cardboard box is square and looks like the outer packaging of some electrical appliance.

Academician Chen and Researcher Wu didn't understand what this thing was, but Lin Mo did.

“This is…”

Before he could finish, the anxious Researcher Wu reached out and pressed a red button on the table next to him.

Instantly, alarm bells rang.

Footsteps were heard all around, and not only that, several nightmares with metal coils around their necks pushed out from several black metal doors.

It looks like this should be the hidden defense force of the laboratory.

These nightmares quickly surrounded the cardboard box.

At the same time, a mechanical broadcast sounded.

"Alarm, unknown nightmare detected, researchers please evacuate immediately, repeat..."

Security personnel rushed into the laboratory and protected Academician Chen first. Researcher Wu was the second-order protection target, and Lin Mo could only be ranked third.

However, when the security guard came over, Lin Mo signaled them not to move, and then walked straight towards the cardboard box amid the alarm.

"Expert Lin, it's dangerous, come back quickly." Researcher Wu hid behind the security personnel and shouted nervously.

Although he is arrogant, he is also a good person. Seeing Lin Mo actually trying to commit suicide by facing the unknown nightmare, his heart was in his throat.

However, Academician Chen saw Lin Mo's relaxed demeanor and seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure, so he did not say anything.

Lin Mo walked to the cardboard box and patted it.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to mention this just now. This is my suitcase. Don't be nervous, it's just a misunderstanding, let's just clear it up."

"suitcase?"

Researcher Wu’s eyes widened.

At this time, the supervisor in charge of security reported to Academician Chen through the communicator, saying that Lin Mo did mention a suitcase among the personal belongings registered when he entered the Academy of Sciences.

It was just that the other person was carrying a backpack at the time, so I thought he was referring to that.

"Expert Lin, is this paper box yours?" Academician Chen asked again.

Lin Mo nodded, confirming that this thing was his.

Academician Chen nodded, and then asked the security director of the Academy of Sciences to cancel the alarm.

The alarm stopped.

Lin Mo over there looked embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I didn't explain it to you right away, causing everyone to be alarmed."

Academician Chen and Researcher Wu came over to take a look.

"Expert Lin, I understand what you just said. I just don't understand how you brought this cardboard box in. You can't even hold this thing." Researcher Wu focused on the key point.

The point here is not whether Lin Mo should have this box, or whether this cardboard box belongs to Lin Mo, but how the other party got this thing in.

"Actually, it followed me in!" Lin Mo told the truth.

"You followed me in by yourself?"

"Yes, it followed in on its own."

"Impossible!" Researcher Wu's first reaction was disbelief: "The Academy's defense level is very high. It's impossible for this cardboard box to enter from the outside by itself."

Lin Mo didn't know how to explain to the other party.

He didn't understand what special technology the Academy of Sciences used, but the reality was that the cardboard box followed him in, just as strange as when he first saw it.

At this moment, the lid of the cardboard box opened by itself, and the poor ghost stuck his head out, looked around, and then asked Lin Mo: "Brother, are we home yet?"

Before Lin Mo could say anything, Hammer Brother popped his head out and said, "Are we home yet? Then I'm coming out. It's too crowded in here. I need to get some fresh air."

Lin Mo went up and stuffed the two guys back.

"I'm not home yet, come in quickly."

After stuffing it in, Lin Mo closed the carton and said to Researcher Wu and Academician Chen: "These are my two friends. Don't worry, it's under control and there's no danger."

…

Inside the Academy of Sciences' Level 5 security room.

Lin Mo sat on the chair somewhat helplessly, with the cardboard box next to him.

For safety reasons, Lin Mo plans to assist Academician Chen and his team in their next work in this room.

Through a layer of glass made of special material, Lin Mo and researchers in another room discussed the characteristics of the smiley face and proposed corresponding defense and healing methods.

Of course, the Academy of Sciences was not guarding against Lin Mo, but was mainly guarding against the cardboard box.

This thing is so weird.

Previously, they tried to seal the paper box with a special metal box.

But failed.

Wherever Lin Mo went, this thing would always appear not far away when people couldn't notice it.

Level 4 isolation rooms were also used.

It's no use.

Not to mention Researcher Wu, even Academician Chen got carried away.

In the academy of sciences, the level five security room has the highest level of defense and isolation, so they let Lin Mo in, and in this way, the cardboard box would also go in.

The situation of the smiley face has been discussed.

The Academy of Sciences has also obtained some simulation data and will conduct analysis experiments next, intending to use special sound frequencies and visual hypnosis to defend against possible smiley face attacks.

This work has come to an end.

But for Academician Chen and his colleagues, the real challenge has only just begun.

Outside, Academician Chen glared and said, "Expert Lin, if you come out now, I will immediately close the door of the safe room. I don't believe that this thing can penetrate the level 5 safe room and escape."

Next to him, Researcher Wu also stared with his eyes wide open, ready to record the entire experimental data.

Lin Mo was somewhat helpless: "Academician Chen, there's really no need. There's no need to argue with a broken cardboard box."

"No!" Academician Chen said anxiously, "I must find out whether the Level 5 safe house can prevent strange things from passing through. This is very important. Expert Lin, you must cooperate."

There was not only Academician Chen, but also several old men standing outside, all of them were getting anxious.

Lin Mo could also understand.

Normally, these researchers are all quite conceited, believing that technology and knowledge can solve all problems. Even the powerful Nightmare is just their experimental subject here.

The sudden appearance of this unpredictable cardboard box naturally hit the confidence of these scientists.

Mainly, it’s my belief as a researcher.

They firmly believed that the Level 5 safe house could seal off all strange things. They had done many experiments before and found that even an A-level nightmare would not be able to escape if trapped in a Level 5 safe house.

This place is like an insurmountable prison.

The most important thing for scientific researchers is this kind of belief.

Lin Mo saw that he couldn't persuade them, and knew that if he didn't let this group of scientists have a good time today, he would not be able to leave at all.

"Okay, then you guys try it."

At this time, Lin Mo walked up to the cardboard box and patted the guy.

He whispered, "I beg you, just let them be happy and don't come out for a while, okay?"

The cardboard box didn't respond.

I don’t know whether he agreed or not.

Lin Mo had no choice but to walk to the door and then, under the guidance of the researchers, pass through the first isolation door.

Then came the second and third.

There are five isolation doors in total. At each door, Lin Mo will be irradiated and sprayed with special light and gas to ensure that nothing weird will come out.

"Very good!" Academician Chen asked Lin Mo to go out and go to another level five safe house. This was the safest solution he could think of.

That is to separate Lin Mo and the cardboard box, and then lock them up in two safe houses fifty meters apart.

He wanted to see if this cardboard box could still 'travel' through time.

"I just don't believe it!" Academician Chen's face was full of excitement and determination.

The same goes for the researchers next to them.

They can do this kind of thing without sleeping for five days and five nights, which is more energizing than drinking a hundred cups of coffee.

Lin Mo successfully entered safe house No. 2.

To be honest, Lin Mo had no choice. Academician Chen was obviously driven crazy by the cardboard box before, otherwise he wouldn't be so persistent. Maybe this old man was born in the year of the donkey.

Stubborn! "I hope the cardboard box will listen to my advice..."

Lin Mo had just finished speaking when he felt something. He turned his head and saw that the cardboard box was lying safely next to him.

Lin Mo swallowed the rest of the words and couldn't say anything else.

"Damn, you're also a donkey. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why are you arguing with this bunch of old guys? Can't we just finish this and go home earlier?"

The cardboard box ignored him.

It seems that he intends to fight Academician Chen and others to the end.

Let’s see who is more stubborn! Outside, after discovering that the cardboard box had passed through two level 5 safe houses, Academician Chen’s pen broke.

The old man's stubborn temper also came up.

"Okay, okay!" Academician Chen paced back and forth outside in anger. Not only him, but several other academy students and researchers were also shaking with anger.

"No, even a level 5 safe house can't contain this thing. We have no other choice."

"Bullshit, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by science. Find a way, find a way immediately, and make sure to trap that cardboard box."

"Yes, there must be a way. How about trying a solid magnetic field?"

"Hey, this is a good idea, let's do it!"

A group of researchers started to prepare, while Lin Mo covered his face.

He felt a little tired.

Soon, Academician Chen prepared a new experimental site.

An open platform.

There was a weird circle of wires around it, with exposed metal wires, and there was also a lot of equipment around it.

Lin Mo was quite surprised.

The Academy of Sciences really has a rich foundation. This is not the real world, this is a nightmare world, and they can actually tinker with so many complicated devices.

It is indeed a national-level academy of sciences. No wonder it is said to be the most confidential of secrets.

"Then what should I do?" Lin Mo had also thought about it. He couldn't persuade them anyway, so he decided not to persuade them. Let them do whatever they want.

"You go up, and the cardboard box will go up with you. Then you come down and we will activate the equipment. A special solid-state magnetic field will be generated here. Its isolation capability will surpass that of a level 5 safe house."

Lin Mo found it a bit mysterious.

He was a little unsure, so he asked if the experiment was safe. He disagreed if it was unsafe.

"It's safe, don't worry."

Academician Chen's confidence returned to his face at this moment. It can be seen that he is very optimistic about this solid-state magnetic field equipment and believes that it can definitely trap the cardboard box.

Lin Mo doesn't care about anything else, as long as it is safe, he will cooperate.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mo said to Academician Chen again: "Mr. Chen, if it doesn't work this time, then forget it. You have a lot of things to do here, and I'm also very busy over there. Let's not waste time, okay?"

Academician Chen glared and said, "It will work this time!"

"Yes, it will work!" Researcher Wu next to him also had a fanatical look on his face, and they began to debug the equipment quickly.

Lin Mo stopped trying to persuade him and walked up.

Soon, the cardboard box appeared next to Lin Mo without anyone noticing.

It seemed that it was also holding back its energy and wanted to fight this group of researchers to the end.

"Okay, come on down."

Academician Chen called out to him from below, and Lin Mo patted the cardboard box without saying a word.

To be honest, he really hoped that the cardboard box would be trapped.

Not only because I want this matter to be over quickly so I can get back to work, but also because, if there is really nothing in the world that can trap a cardboard box, then this thing would be incredible.

Although it doesn't kill anyone and has no ill intentions, it follows you like a shadow and you can't get rid of it.

Lin Mo even suspected that if he were to go to the moon on a spaceship now, this thing would be able to follow him all the way.

"Expert Lin, do you want to go to another room and sit for a while?" Researcher Wu came over and asked.

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, it's not a matter of distance now. I feel like it's fighting with you guys. I can just watch from below."

Researcher Wu nodded and went over to help.

Soon, the device was activated.

A solid magnetic field began to slowly appear, a visible energy ring, and then turned into an energy ball.

It is like a crystal clear glass ball, covering the entire circular platform.

“Okay!”

Academician Chen saw the solid-state magnetic field at full energy and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Not only him, but other professors and researchers are the same.

Solid-state magnetic field is their latest research, which will be used in the defense system of important places in the future. It can ensure the safety of important places and the people inside them under the attack of extremely terrifying nightmares.

So there is absolutely no room for error.

Although Academician Chen and his colleagues looked confident at the moment, they were actually clenching their fists and were extremely nervous.

There was no way. It was impossible not to be nervous. If even the solid-state magnetic field was broken, then their previous research would be unsuccessful. If the solid-state magnetic field could not defend against all nightmare attacks, the entire academy of science would be brought into disgrace.

They were nervous, and Lin Mo was nervous too.

At this moment, Lin Mo clenched his fists and muttered softly.

"Brother Xianzi, just give in. Why bother with each other? Can't we just go home early? Look at you, you've made such a big scene. If they don't let you go home, I won't care about you."

Lin Mo thought again.

No, if this mysterious cardboard box can really pass through this solid magnetic field, then nothing in the world can stop it.

The Academy of Sciences cannot keep it even if it wants to.

"Never mind. It's up to you."

Lin Mo felt that he was worrying for nothing. Maybe the cardboard box wouldn't come out...

Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at the side of the chair. At this moment, the cardboard box was quietly lying less than half a meter away from him, and he could reach it with his hand.

Lin Mo covered his face and was speechless.

A researcher noticed the cardboard box next to Lin Mo and his face looked dejected.

Soon, Academician Chen and his colleagues also discovered it.

They turned off the solid-state magnetic field and found that the cardboard box inside was indeed gone.

For a moment, the laboratory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All the professors and researchers were now staring at the cardboard box, as if it was their mortal enemy.

"Oh no! Are these researchers planning to tear the box apart?" Lin Mo felt the look in their eyes was too scary and he wanted to give them some advice, but then he realized it was all the box's own fault.

If I were in this situation, I would be angry too.
