In the distance, the sound of gongs could be heard, accompanied by a sense of danger approaching quickly.

Lin Mo and Chen Bing were both veterans. They looked at each other, then immediately bent down and squatted, each ready to take action.

The sound of the gong got closer, and a tall figure could be vaguely seen holding a red lantern, walking towards this side while beating the gong.

A foul and malicious stench spread from a distance, making people suffocate.

"So bad luck? I just came in and met a big boss..."

Lin Mo muttered.

Anyway, the tall figure not far away is not easy to deal with and gives people a strong sense of oppression.

That feeling seems to be much stronger than that of the butcher.

At this moment, the tall figure seemed to have noticed something and slowly turned his head. A creaking sound of friction was heard, which made people feel itchy.

Lin Mo and Chen Bing secretly thought that something was wrong.

It seems like he was discovered.

But at this moment, a rooster crowed suddenly from the distance, and the tall figure shook and left at an incredible speed.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Where does the rooster crow?"

Lin Mo felt like he encountered something strange as soon as he came in.

Let's not talk about what that tall figure is, just the sound of the rooster crowing is very abrupt and weird. This place is so scary, where did the chicken come from? Besides, even if there is a chicken, it is so dark here now, and it's not even daybreak yet, so why is the chicken crowing?

Chen Bing also frowned, obviously unable to understand.

Raven Probe has a weakness.

That is, it can only observe but cannot hear the sounds inside, so even if there is a rooster crowing, the crow cannot hear it.

"This place is not safe, let's leave here first!" Chen Bing was sure that the tall figure had discovered the two of them. If it weren't for the sudden sound of a chicken crowing, that thing would have already come over.

So I definitely can't stay here any longer.

It would be bad if that thing came back to attack us.

Lin Mo thought so too.

The two of them walked forward immediately, and soon they saw a village.

There is a wooden archway at the entrance of the village. There is no writing on it, but there are two red lanterns hanging on it, which looks quite festive.

Lin Mo has a special feeling for lanterns.

For example, the lantern monster he had seen in the Lvyuan community was really scary; and there was also the folk artist Xi Wenjun, who was very good at making human skin lanterns, and Lin Mo was also deeply impressed by her.

In short, whenever he touches a lantern, it seems like nothing good ever happens to him.

At this time, Lin Mo and Chen Bing heard the sound of flowing water and the sound of banging.

The two followed the sound and passed through the wooden archway. They saw a small river in the low-lying area in front of them. The river was about ten feet wide. At this moment, a woman was washing clothes by the river, beating the clothes mixed with soap nuts with a wooden mallet.

At first I thought this was a paradise, but it turned out that what the woman was beating was not clothes, but a human skin.

While washing, she muttered: "Daddy, I washed your clothes very cleanly. Look, they are so clean. Don't say I didn't wash them clean for you later..."

Lin Mo felt that this piece of human skin might be the 'child's father'.

At this moment, the woman seemed to feel someone was looking at her, and immediately looked up, and saw Lin Mo and Chen Bing over there.

Their eyes met, and the woman asked, "You look unfamiliar. Are you from other places?"

Lin Mo and Chen Bing both nodded.

One trick to deal with nightmares is that if the other person is acting, and if they continue to act without being exposed, then you should not expose them, but cooperate.

Because sometimes, these nightmares aren’t actually acting.

"We two got lost and don't know how we ended up here!" Chen Bing's answer was obviously something from a textbook.

Lin Mo remembered that it was in the General Administration’s textbooks.

The prerequisite question is, if you encounter a nightmare asking you where you came from or similar questions, you can use this sentence to answer.

"Where are you going?" the woman asked again. Looking at her at this time, if it weren't for the human skin in the other party's hand, she really looked like an ordinary village woman.

His skin is dark yellow and rough, he has a strong physique and speaks in a loud voice.

"Let's go to Guimen Village!" Lin Mo took over and started to make up a story: "We heard that the carpenter in the village has good skills, so we want to ask him to make some furniture."

Of course, Lin Mo wasn't lying.

He and Chen Bing had just noticed that, judging from the style of the wooden archway and the woman's clothes, it should be the style from more than a hundred years ago.

This place once existed, but it was only a hundred years ago. At that time, most villages had people from certain industries.

At least there are carpenters and butchers in almost every village.

This is closely related to life.

Moreover, Lin Mo was quite observant. The wooden archway just now was well-made, and there was a wooden bridge in front of it. There were probably carpenters in this village.

So saying this will definitely not arouse suspicion.

Chen Bing secretly gave Lin Mo a thumbs up, thinking that Lin Mo's answer was quite good.

"You are looking for Carpenter Zhang, but you came at the wrong time. Something happened at his home, and he probably won't be working lately."

Lin Mo was just talking nonsense just now, but he didn't expect that it would trigger the 'hidden plot'.

Anyway, I can only go along with what this weird village woman says.

So Lin Mo asked curiously, "What happened to Carpenter Zhang's family? We don't know."

When Lin Mo asked this, the village woman's expression immediately became interesting. Obviously, whether it was a hundred years ago or a hundred years later, this kind of people liked to watch jokes and gossip.

The village woman came over with a club and human skin in her hand and whispered, "I'm telling you, Carpenter Zhang's wife was caught cheating on a man and was put in a pig cage. The man she cheated on was beaten to death yesterday. Tell me, with such a big incident happening in Carpenter Zhang's family, can he still work for you?"

From a close distance, you can see that the flesh on the village woman's face has rotted away, and when she speaks, a foul odor hits you in the face.

But Lin Mo and Chen Bing had to endure it and not show it.

"Is this actually true?" Lin Mo was surprised.

"That's right. Carpenter Zhang's wife looks dignified on weekdays, but I didn't expect she is actually a slut. You can't judge a person by his appearance... So, you came at the wrong time."

"That's okay, let's go and ask. After all, we've come all the way here, we can't just go back without even seeing anyone, right?" Lin Mo showed a look of surprise and regret. It must be said that his acting skills are pretty good.

If it were Chen Bing, he would definitely not be able to act so realistically.

"That makes sense. You can go ahead, but don't mention what I just said. Even if you let it slip, don't say it was me who said it. Carpenter Zhang is a man who, although he appears to be honest on weekdays, can kill people when he gets cruel." After the village woman said this, she returned to the river and continued to beat the human skin.

If you look closely, you can see a knife stuck in the back of her neck.

"My dear father, I will wash you thoroughly..."

Done!

Lin Mo and Chen Bing looked at each other, and then they walked into the village one after the other.

Some clues can be seen from the village women washing clothes by the river at the entrance of the village. They don't seem to remember that they are dead.

Or rather, they don’t know that this is a nightmare world.

It feels like an obsessive nightmare, repeating certain things based on a few specific memories. Of course, we have to go into the village and continue investigating to find out the details.
