Gray mist drifted by, sometimes thick and sometimes thin. The red lanterns emitted a strange red light, which gave people an indescribable sense of weirdness and oppression at close range.

Especially the face looking down from above, which can infinitely magnify people's fear.

Even if a brave person suddenly saw this scene, he would be frightened and scream, and his brain would go blank.

Lin Mo didn't even blink.

At this time, Lin Mo was about to take action.

When it came time to take action, Lin Mo never backed down.

But he soon discovered a problem. The other party seemed... seemed... perhaps, to be blind.

Firstly, the other party's eyes were foggy, without even pupils, let alone any focus. Secondly, if this monster had vision, it would have seen Lin Mo by now.

But it tilted its head and listened with its huge, strange ears.

Judging from his posture, he is really like a blind person.

It was because of this that Lin Mo resisted taking action.

Beneath me was the sound of a gurgling stream.

This sound seemed to affect the monster. It listened for a long time without discovering anything else. Lin Mo originally thought that the other party would leave.

But the next move made by this monster surprised Lin Mo.

The other party actually stretched out his deformed fingers, grabbed the protrusion under the bridge, then flipped over and swung down.

This action is exactly the same as Lin Mo's just now.

In order to prevent the other person from touching him, Lin Mo could only quietly move to the side.

The scene at this time was very strange.

Lin Mo was hanging under the bridge, and so was the tall monster.

However, the opponent's arms and legs were long, so he could hang on one arm, while the other hand was holding the blood-red lantern.

Lin Mo suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

A blind monster is carrying a lantern for lighting. Isn't this unnecessary? Is this monster mentally ill? Or is there another reason?

And why did this guy learn to roll over, is he hiding too? The scene was very exciting. Lin Mo was only one or two feet away from the monster and could touch it with his hand. If someone saw them at this time, they would think they were brothers.

Lin Mo was now motionless. The sound of flowing water confused other sounds, so much so that even though the monster was so close, it did not notice Lin Mo.

By the way, the weird smile on this monster’s face was a completely subconscious behavior.

It feels like my face is itchy and I can't help but want to grin.

In this situation, I won't move unless the enemy moves. I can only waste time. The main reason is that this monster is very powerful. If they really fight, Lin Mo has no chance of winning. After all, Xiaoyu and Xiaohu are both injured, so he won't fight if he can.

At worst, I'll just wait and see.

At this time, the monster holding the lantern jumped down and slowly moved forward along the stream.

Lin Mo's heart moved, and he quietly jumped down and followed.

The footsteps were covered by the sound of flowing water, so Lin Mo chose to follow. Otherwise, he would not take the risk.

Mainly because Lin Mo was curious, he wanted to follow this monster to see where it was going.

If the other party leaves the stream, Lin Mo will not follow.

Without the sound of running water, he would most likely be discovered.

The monster moved forward along the stream and soon entered a cave.

Lin Mo looked at it and saw that it was a naturally formed hole. If water flowed in, it might flow out from another place. The hole was not big, but it was more than enough for people to get in.

Watching the red light inside moving away, Lin Mo hesitated whether to go in.

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly found that the fog around him had become much thinner.

Not only the surroundings, but when Lin Mo looked up, he saw that the gray fog in the entire Guimen Village was dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Mo was stunned.

He has never encountered this before.

This gray fog is weird and is itself a kind of resentment. It is not a good thing.

In theory, it is a good thing that the fog has dissipated.

But at this moment Lin Mo felt his eyelids twitch, and he felt unprecedented alertness in his heart.

It felt like something big was going to happen.

The next moment, a shrill scream came from a distance.

"I hate it!"

Lin Mo immediately covered his ears.

At that moment, his head seemed to be hit hard by something and he almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, the curse in Lin Mo's body was automatically triggered, as if fighting against this horrible sound.

Lin Mo didn't dare to hesitate any longer and immediately went into the cave.

The space inside was not big, only five or six square meters at most. Because the space was small, it was very bright under the red light. The tall figure from before was squatting inside, covering his ears with his hands.

It seems that it is also afraid of that strange cry.

Lin Mo's head was dizzy now, that sound was too terrifying.

What's even more frightening is that there are all kinds of strange noises coming from outside, screams, cursing, scolding, laughter, and it is extremely chaotic.

It seemed as if all the villagers of Guimen Village came alive at this moment, running and shouting, venting their hatred and releasing their resentment.

Lin Mo insisted on crawling inside, but he had no strength left in his body.

The main reason was that he had never encountered such a situation before and was completely caught off guard.

The next moment, the woman's voice outside, "I died unjustly," directly drained Lin Mo's strength.

Fortunately, he had already gotten in and was now sitting against the wall of the cave, surrounded by soil and tree roots, but Lin Mo couldn't care about this at this time.

He glanced at the tall figure next to him, and also covered his ears with his hands to block out the screams.

At this moment, he and the tall figure actually became a pair of brothers in distress.

If it were just the sound it would be fine.

At this moment, Lin Mo could clearly feel that danger was approaching.

"It's strange, how could the ghost outside know that I was hiding here?" Lin Mo gritted his teeth and pondered.

Something's wrong!

Something is wrong!

But now Lin Mo could do nothing. He was powerless all over, and he had no way to deal with anything even if something approached him.

Not only him, under normal circumstances, Xiaoyu would also appear to protect his master if he sensed danger.

But this time, Xiaoyu didn't move.

This shows that the deafening screams outside also have a great impact on Xiaoyu, who is also suffering from nightmares.

After a while, Lin Mo heard footsteps outside.

Here we come!

…

Chen Bing was sitting on the ground at this moment, also covering his ears with his hands, unable to even stand up.

The black spot under his feet had completely retracted into his body at this time, and he couldn't scream no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, Guimen Village showed its horror.

“Close your eyes, cover your ears, and endure it, and it will pass. This is how I got through all these years.” Next to Chen Bing, a bearded man was lying on the ground, also covering his ears.

Next to this man, a big rooster was strolling around, as if the terrifying cries outside had no effect on it.

Chen Bing wanted to speak, but couldn't.

He was waiting for Lin Mo and observing the situation on the stage at the same time, when he suddenly saw a child who looked very much like Lin Nan walking over.

The situation was special, so Chen Bing left a message for Lin Mo and immediately chased after him.

As a result, no matter how fast he walked, the figure in front seemed to maintain a fixed distance from him and he could not catch up at all.

Later he followed all the way to this yard.

There were dozens of black tablets placed outside the yard, surrounding the entire yard. Chen Bing thought it was strange and planned to sneak in to investigate. As soon as he entered, the bearded man attacked him.

Of course Chen Bing resisted.

The two men fought, but before the winner was decided, the gray fog dissipated and a terrifying situation began to appear in the village.

As a result, the two men couldn't fight anymore and both collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

At this time, the roar weakened a little, and Chen Bing was already sweating profusely.

The bearded man looked at Chen Bing and asked, "Are you a living person who came in from outside?"

Chen Bing nodded.

Also looking at this man.

The other person didn't look like a nightmare, but he was full of death. He should be the kind of person who was dead in the real world but living in the nightmare world.

"Sorry, I thought you were in the same group with those tomb robbers." The bearded man saw Chen Bing let go of his ears and advised, "If I were you, I would cover my ears well."

"Why?"

"There's more to come. This is just what happened just now. Do you think the three-day death curse is a joke?" The bearded man smiled.

Chen Bing's expression changed.

He thought of Lin Mo who was still outside.

"It's bad, I have companions outside..."

"Really? Then he's not as lucky as you. He's dead." The bearded man shook his head.

"That's not necessarily true." Chen Bing said. He had great confidence in Lin Mo.

"You are 100% dead. In this village, the Three Day Death Curse appears every three days. It is the resentment and hatred of the 206 people in the village. No one can withstand it. You didn't die because you entered my yard. There are those tablets outside to block them. In other places, there is nothing that can stop them. You will definitely die."

As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, a horrible scream was heard outside again.

And there was someone outside the gate.

Quite a few.

There were a lot of footsteps, as if someone was standing outside and trying to rush in.

Both Chen Bing and the bearded man felt the pain.

Chen Bing was even more anxious.

According to what the bearded man said, Lin Mo was still outside, so he was dead. Then, the terror in the village continued for several hours. It was undoubtedly a difficult time for Chen Bing. He wanted to go out to save Lin Mo, but he was powerless and could only cover his ears.

Finally, the horrific noise outside disappeared.

Chen Bing wanted to get up, but he couldn't do it all at once.

The bearded man was obviously stronger and he slowly got up from the ground.

"I know you want to go out and save people, but you'd better give up on this idea. Unless you stay with me or in Carpenter Zhang's yard, it's useless to hide anywhere else in the village. You will eventually be found by the crazy resentment and hatred, and be ruthlessly killed by them."

Chen Bing looked at the bearded man and he could tell that the other party was not lying.

He thought that Lin Mo should have gone to Carpenter Zhang's house, and maybe he could escape the disaster.

But the other party's next words made Chen Bing's heart sink again.

"You are lucky. I am a good person and will not deal with you. But the group of tomb robbers entrenched in Carpenter Zhang's house are not like that. Do you think that if your companion went to Carpenter Zhang's house, he would be able to save his life? Let me tell you, if he went, he would die faster."

"The things outside were scary, weren't they? To tell you the truth, the ancestral tablets are what keep the monsters out here, but those tomb robbers have even scarier things in their hands. So even though those people who died unjustly and the villagers are full of resentment towards them, they can't get in at all. It was like this before, it's like this now, and I'm afraid it will be the same in the future... It's endless, when will it end?"

There was a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in the bearded man's tone.

Cock, cock, cock! At this moment, the rooster crowed!

The bearded man saw Chen Bing looking at the rooster and said, "This is the chicken I raised. Normally, other things are afraid of it, but it is useless when the three-day death curse comes. Don't try to pick on it."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Not to mention Chen Bing, even the bearded man was startled.

He just stood there in a daze.

Knock, knock, knock! There was another knock on the door.

The bearded man finally reacted at this time. He frowned and grabbed an axe from the table next to him and walked to the gate of the yard.

Obviously those scary villagers and monsters couldn't possibly knock on the door.

And because of the tablet, they can't get close here at all.

Could it be that group of tomb robbers? That's not right. That group of people didn't dare to come out at all. They just hid in Carpenter Zhang's yard and lived there.

But no matter who it is, they have already arrived at the doorstep, and the bearded man cannot just turn a blind eye.

He took a deep breath and opened the wooden door.

Outside, there stood a young man holding a red lantern in his hand, and behind this young man stood a tall monster with long arms and legs, looking extremely weird.

"Lin Mo!" Chen Bing in the yard saw it and shouted excitedly.

The person standing outside the door holding a red lantern was Lin Mo.

Time goes back a few hours.

Lin Mo in the cave heard footsteps outside the cave, and he was sure that something outside would rush in.

Unlike others, Lin Mo still has a backup plan even in this situation.

He tremblingly took out the diary containing the two-dimensional nightmare.

If the monsters outside really come in, he doesn't mind releasing the two-dimensional nightmare and fighting to the death with the other party.

At worst, we can die together.

But what Lin Mo expected did not happen.

Nothing outside rushed in.

Lin Mo discovered that it was the red light of the lantern that blocked the monsters.

At that moment, Lin Mo figured out a lot of things, such as why this tall figure was carrying this red lantern and why he was hiding here.

It, like me, is also seeking refuge.

Moreover, Lin Mo was certain that the other party was not the owner of the red lantern. At most, he obtained it by chance and discovered that the red lantern could block the monsters from coming in, so he kept it in his hand.

Lin Mo was not idle during the few hours of hiding.

He used his own 'bewitching' curse, constantly muttering it in the ear of the tall figure, bewitching the other party.

To say that he could control such a powerful nightmare through bewitching was a bit exaggerated, and Lin Mo couldn't do it at all. But it was still possible to dispel the other party's malice and bring them closer.

Only after all the danger outside had subsided did Lin Mo take the lead, grab the lantern and climb out of the cave.

The tall figure would not attack Lin Mo under the influence of the bewitching spell. Originally, it was thought that it would leave on its own, but unexpectedly, it kept following Lin Mo.

After that, Lin Mo heard the crowing of a rooster.

The distance was very close. When I climbed out of the creek, I saw a yard where the crowing of the rooster came from.

Lin Mo walked closer, saw the tablet, and heard the conversation inside, then he knocked on the gate.
