Professor Xie began to formulate Plan B, while Lin Mo dealt with Xiaoyu.

She's too clingy now.

She pestered, forced, deceived and coaxed Lin Mo to call her sister.

Lin Mo thought that the Demonic Soup should be called the Personality Reversal Soup. Xiaoyu used to be so reserved, how come she became like this after drinking the soup? But it must be said that her strength has really improved.

This is in the house. If it is in an open space, Xiaoyu's black skirt can spread to a range of fifty or sixty meters around. Wherever the black skirt goes, it is within Xiaoyu's attack range. In an instant, the black skirt can turn into cursed chains and crush the enemy.

So, although the Demonic Soup has disadvantages, its advantages are also obvious.

Improve Nightmare's combat power in a short period of time.

Even the rabbit before, after drinking a mouthful of the magic soup, insisted on shouting for revenge.

How dare it be so presumptuous if it has no strength?

As for the changes in personality, it may be that the demon soup has the ability to show another side of a person or nightmare.

Fortunately, it lasted less than an hour, and after that, Xiaoyu instantly returned to normal.

She found herself hugging Lin Mo like an octopus. She was stunned for a long time, and the next moment, there was a whoosh and she disappeared without a trace. She must have returned to the pencil.

Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next he will go to the Tuanmen District, so he must be fully prepared.

The Demonic Soup needs to be remixed. Although Xiaoyu's temperament changed drastically after drinking it, he would not care about that much when the situation became critical. Compared to losing his life, it was nothing to let Xiaoyu take advantage.

Just be patient and it will pass.

To survive, it's not shameful!

In addition to making some magic soup, you also have to consider special circumstances. For example, after entering the Pig Gate area, you will most likely be affected by the more powerful "cage" curse, and you will definitely not be able to escape from it.

It will be useless to guess at the time that 'Escape Bean'.

So we still have to convince the cardboard box.

But things have to be done one by one, Lin Mo hurried to prepare the medicine first.

Fortunately, after the previous preparations, all the ingredients were ready, and it only took him more than an hour to prepare three servings of Demon-revealing Soup.

Pack them in three bottles respectively.

The next step is to convince the cardboard box to cooperate with you.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked. The cardboard box was in a corner not far away, so quiet that it seemed as if it had been there for a long time.

Walking over, Lin Mo opened the lid and got in.

"Brother, why did you come in too?" The rabbit's surprised voice came from the box.

"Shut the fuck up, I haven't settled the old score with you yet." Lin Mo cursed.

"Haven't you already beaten me?" The rabbit was unconvinced.

"It was Xiaoyu who beat me up. I didn't do anything!"

“…”

Speaking of which, Lin Mo really had something to ask the rabbit. After all, the rabbit had been left in a cardboard box by Little Red Skirt before, and had stayed in it for the longest time for more than ten days.

Over such a long period of time, it is possible that it has communicated with the cardboard box.

After all, Lin Mo had tested it before and found that there was no way to communicate with the cardboard box outside.

So the only way is to actually enter the cardboard box.

"Rabbit, I want to ask you something."

"I can't take a beating, really, I can't take a beating!"

"I'm not asking you this. Did you hear any sounds while you were in the cardboard box? Or did anyone chat with you..."

"Yes, I have talked to it before, but this sound doesn't come out often, so you have to rely on luck."

As long as there is, it's fine.

Lin Mo decided that he had to try it himself. He asked the rabbit some more details and then waited in the cardboard box.

As a result, after several hours, not a single fart came.

There is only loneliness in the cardboard box.

Lin Mo had no choice but to come out first.

Just at this time, Professor Xie contacted him and asked him to come over to discuss something.

It should be about going to Tuanmen District.

Lin Mo took the goodies out and went to Professor Xie's office again. This time, there were two more people in the room.

There are acquaintances.

Captain Chen Bing of the General Administration’s expert group’s scout team.

There is also a 'Crow', the second-in-command of the General Administration's expert group.

Lin Mo had met the other party once before (see Chapter 220 for details, where he appeared in the Marrow Eater incident).

Captain Chen Bing, needless to say, was Lin Mo's old boss and the person who guided Lin Mo to join the safe zone; the other one, 'Crow', was said to be the strongest investigator in the General Administration.

There are nine nightmare crows hidden on its body. They cannot attack others, but no one can attack them either. They can fly anywhere to investigate.

When he saw the crow, Lin Mo knew that what Professor Xie had said before about the Pig Gate restricted area was probably not that simple.

The General Administration should know some of the situations in the Pig Gate area. After all, the crow's detection ability is too strong, and its invulnerability can ignore the "cage" curse.

I actually forgot this before.

Sure enough, Professor Xie smiled when he saw Lin Mo this time, and apologized: "Researcher Lin, due to confidentiality reasons, I couldn't tell you too much about the Tumen restricted area before. There are some confidential information that I can't reveal to you. But this time, if you participate in the operation, of course I can reveal it to you."

Lin Mo knew it would be like this.

He understands too.

Lin Mo said it was okay, Professor Xie nodded, and didn't mention the matter again.

We are all smart people. Originally, Lin Mo had nothing to do with this plan, so it was normal for Professor Xie to have reservations. But if Lin Mo joins in, he must tell everything.

The General Administration is actually more anxious about the Tuanmen restricted area.

After all, it is right around the Qianlong Safe Zone. If such an uncontrollable place is allowed to exist, it will cause great harm to the Qianlong Safe Zone.

So it must be solved.

What Professor Xie said before was only part of the story. The General Administration still has some understanding of the situation within the Tuanmen restricted area. It is not as ignorant as before, like a "black box".

"This is all thanks to Crow. Currently, he is the only one who can truly explore the situation inside the Pig Gate restricted area. It is more appropriate for him to talk about it next." After Professor Xie finished speaking, Crow had already spoken: "I can only observe it as a bystander. No matter what happens inside, I cannot intervene. But for this reason, the cage curse of the Pig Gate area cannot affect my nightmare crow."

"The Tuanmen District is just a plain in the real world. There are no villages, only a few roads. But in the nightmare world, I saw that there is a village there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was surprised.

Because under normal circumstances, the terrain in the nightmare world is similar to that in the real world. The terrain and buildings are all projected from the real world.

It is definitely not normal that there is a wilderness in the real world but a village in the nightmare world.

Lin Mo thought of a possibility.

If there is a village in the nightmare world that does not exist in the real world, there is only one possibility.

There used to be a village there, but it disappeared over time.

In other words, the projected village in the nightmare world may not be from recent years, or even recent decades.

This Lin Mo is experienced.

He knew that the emergence of the nightmare world was definitely not something that happened in the past year, but had existed for a long, long time.

At least the Lin family has had it for more than five generations.

There is also Xi Wenjun’s old house, which does not exist in the real world, but does exist in the mirror world deeper in the nightmare world.

That old house also existed a long time ago.

The mysterious village in the Tuomen District should be the same thing.

The crow continued to narrate.

"The village was shrouded in a layer of gray fog. When I explored, I found people in the village. Unfortunately, my nightmare crow could not get any closer. The gray fog was difficult to penetrate, and in that situation, my losses were huge. But I still saw several members of the expert group who had entered this area before..."

When he said this, the crow paused.

The experts who had previously entered the Tuomen area have been declared dead.

But the crow said he saw them.

That is to say, these experts are dead in the real world, but they are still alive in the nightmare world and are trapped in the mysterious village of Tuanmen District.

Even with Crow's current state of mind, he needed to take a deep breath, which was enough to realize that the scene he saw was absolutely horrifying.

"They were performing on a stage at the entrance of the village..."

Lin Mo imagined the scene in his mind.

Just thinking about it, you can tell that the experts who can participate in such an operation are all elite soldiers with strong professional skills and excellent qualities. For them to be able to perform in a strange village, something extremely unusual must have happened there.

Either they were forced to do so, or the actors who performed the opera were no longer their original selves.

This kind of thing is terrifying when you think about it.

"The play they sang seemed to be The Injustice of Dou E. I didn't finish watching it, but at that time, a terrifying resentment rose to the sky. Although it couldn't attack my nightmare crow, it forced the crow out. In short, the village looks very strange. If you really want to go in, you must be mentally prepared."

Crow finished telling about his investigation.

Lin Mo asked if anyone had seen Lin Nan.

The crow thought about it and shook his head.

"Lin Nan's situation is special. The General Administration and the Academy of Sciences both believe that he is dead. Even I think so," said Professor Xie.

Lin Mo also understood that they did not have a pen fairy like Xiaoyu, so everything had to be repeated based on actual conditions, and there had to be evidence to draw conclusions.

The current evidence is that the nightmare riot in Lin Nan's body is the only one that escaped from the Tuanmen village, and the price is the extinction of the original consciousness.

A conscious being may be invisible or even non-existent, so it is not surprising that the crow did not see Lin Nan.

But Lin Mo believed Xiaoyu's investigation more.

"Professor Xie, what are your plans?" Lin Mo asked.

Professor Xie nodded, and Chen Bing stood up and brought someone in from the next room.

Or rather, a nightmare.

This nightmare had a strange and evil smile. It was an old woman with a hunched back. Her skin was covered with wrinkles and lumps of flesh due to aging.

It looks scary.

Of course, no one present would be afraid of such a nightmare.

We have seen all kinds of scenes.

And this nightmare was obviously controlled, with a special collar from the Academy of Sciences around its neck. In its hands, it was holding a ball of red wool.

"Lin Mo, this is a nightmare that the Academy of Sciences captured a while ago, codenamed 'Red Thread Granny'. Don't be fooled by its appearance as an old woman, it is actually very dangerous. The red wool in its hand can stick to anyone, and no matter where the person escapes, it will find him or drag him back and eat him."

"Grandma Hongxian?" Lin Mo went over to take a look.

The old woman stared at Lin Mo with her green eyes, and seemed to be very interested in Lin Mo. However, this old woman with red thread was obviously rational. In the current situation, she couldn't afford to offend anyone in the room.

Just cooperate.

It looked at Lin Mo and said nothing, but saliva was already dripping from the corners of its mouth.

I guess he wants to eat people.

Lin Mo looked at the wool and confirmed that it was not a curse, but simply a piece of wool woven with resentment and malice.

"Professor Xie, are you planning to tie this wool around me?" Lin Mo asked.

Professor Xie nodded: "This is an insurance policy. In addition, because of your participation this time, the General Administration has decided to re-explore the Tuanmen District and rescue the trapped people, so you are not the only one entering the Tuanmen District. After all, you also need help."

Lin Mo glanced at Chen Bing at this time.

Could it be Captain Chen?

"It's me!" Chen Bing took the initiative to say.

"Captain Chen has a special ability. He has a special black area that hides nightmares he can control. You can hide in the black area. If you encounter special circumstances, you and Captain Chen can hide in it." Professor Xie pointed to the cardboard box that had come in at some point and said, "Then the red wool will be tied to you and the cardboard box respectively, so that you can get into the box and pull you out together."

I have to say that Professor Xie’s plan is very good.

Very thoughtful.

Lin Mo couldn't find any fault with it.

The General Administration has always been vigorous and resolute in its actions.

An hour later, in the real world, Lin Mo and Professor Xie had already driven to the Tuenmen District.

This place has long been blocked by the General Administration, and roadblocks have been set up several kilometers apart.

The several roads that pass through this area are also unusable at this time and require detours.

The reason is very simple. There is a pollution source in the Tuomen area. Anyone who enters this area will be contaminated by nightmares.

When Lin Mo and his team arrived, a temporary tent had already been set up. It was obvious that the General Administration attached great importance to this exploration operation.

This action was also initiated by Professor Xie.

The reason is that Lin Mo is here.

Or to put it more bluntly, Lin Mo's cardboard box is there.

Once you enter the Pig Gate area, you can never get out. Only the special expert Lin Nan has come out, but the price is the loss of his original consciousness.

This is a place you can only enter but not leave.

But Lin Mo's cardboard box is a nightmare item (or a nightmare) that can ignore any obstacles to travel through time. Professor Xie has studied it and found that if you tie a person or a cardboard box with the red string of the Red String Granny, you can definitely bring the person out.

Of course there are risks.

And it's very big.

Both Lin Mo and Chen Bing are extremely important to the General Administration, and it can be said that neither of them can be lost.

But again, the existence of the Tuanmen District directly threatens the Qianlong Security Zone, and this nail must be pulled out.

Entering the tent, there are reclining chairs for people to rest in their dreams, as well as various medical equipment. All preparations have been completed.

Several people fell asleep at the same time.

Lin Mo saw a large area of ​​thin fog in the distance. It looked like a huge ball of solidified gray cotton. Obviously, that place was the boundary.

Going in is equivalent to truly stepping into the Pig Gate area.

At this time, Professor Xie walked over with the security personnel, apparently checking the ruler on the ground.

"Record, the gray fog in the Tuenmen area has spread thirteen meters towards Qianlong City..." Professor Xie was speaking, with a special assistant beside him who was responsible for recording the data.

"In the beginning, the speed of diffusion was only a few centimeters a day, which was almost negligible. But as time went on, the speed of diffusion of this gray fog accelerated. It has only been six hours since the last measurement, and it has spread thirteen meters. According to the simulation and verification data, it is estimated that it will spread to the urban area of ​​Qianlong City in less than half a year."

Everyone on the scene had a serious look on their faces.

Lin Mo also saw that this was no longer a potential threat, but a real threat. The importance of Qianlong City was beyond doubt. If this strange gray fog really entered Qianlong City, it would be really troublesome.

On the other side, Granny Red Line had already thrown out three red lines, which were respectively stuck to Lin Mo, Chen Bing and the cardboard box. Looking at Granny Red Line's expression, she was quite excited, constantly grinding her fangs in her mouth, and her saliva was already flowing.

"Let me remind you again. Once you enter, you will not be able to communicate even with the latest telephone technology. You will not get any support and you will have to rely on yourself for everything. In addition, you must come out within three days, regardless of whether you have any results or not," Professor Xie warned.

Lin Mo and Chen Bing both nodded, and then they walked into the gray fog of the Tuenmen area, one after the other.

Professor Xie looked back at the cardboard box, but it was no longer visible.

He should have followed in.

At this moment, people outside could only see three red threads extending forward.

…

Lin Mo and Chen Bing were less than two meters apart. They looked after each other and moved forward slowly.

The concentration of the gray fog is not high and does not particularly affect the vision. At least you can see clearly within a dozen meters.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Mo stepped on something.

He looked down.

Below, in the rotting grass, lay a stone slab.

“There are words on it!”

Lin Mo and Chen Bing squatted down to check.

"Guimen Village!"

Chen Bing read it and shook his head: "It sounds a bit unlucky."

Lin Mo felt the same way.

When naming, homophony is also very important. If we look at the pronunciation, Guimen and Guimen are only one character different, but the pronunciations are basically similar. Who would choose such an unlucky village name?

The crows did not discover this stone slab during their previous exploration, mainly because most of the stone slab was covered by weeds.

If it had been discovered earlier, we could have looked into the origins of this village.

Maybe we'll find something.

Ding! At this moment, a gong sounded suddenly.

Because it happened so suddenly, Chen Bing was frightened.

Lin Mo frowned and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
