"Are these two things yours?" Yang Ke was shocked when he saw Lin Mo put the strange tablet into the strange cardboard box.

When Yang Ke suddenly saw a cardboard box in his yard, he was very scared and panicked.

He didn't know who this thing belonged to, let alone how it got in.

It was as if the cardboard box had always been there.

Yang Ke has a relatively calm temperament. He observes things first. He knows that it is not advisable to panic or talk too much.

So he initially judged that this cardboard box should be some unknown "weird" thing.

Of course, he also thought that the cardboard box might belong to Chen Bing, or to Lin Mo who came in later, but he felt that the possibility was not high.

Who knew that reality would soon prove that this unlikely possibility was actually true.

Lin Mo told Yang Ke that these two were not "things".

"One is my good friend, and the other is also my good friend." Lin Mo touched the cardboard box. Although he had not communicated with the cardboard box yet, this thing helped him a lot.

It’s no exaggeration to say that we are good friends.

Of course, Lin Mo is not particularly clear about the purpose of the cardboard box now, but it doesn’t matter, this matter will be figured out sooner or later.

At this stage, Lin Mo used the cardboard box as a storage box, and it would be right to put Lin Nan's tablet in it first.

This time, Lin Mo and Chen Bing had three goals.

Lin Nan, the missing expert, and the situation in Guimen Village.

So far, the missing experts are all gone and there is no way to rescue them; Lin Nan found it, although it is just a tablet, but the other party's consciousness must be deposited on this tablet, so he will take it back first; the last one is to thoroughly investigate Guimen Village, which is relatively the most difficult thing.

Because the situation in Guimen Village is very special.

This is a village blocked by a very strong resentment. People can only enter but not leave. The source of all the weirdness and horror in the village is related to the unjust case of drowning in the river a hundred years ago.

Lin Mo has learned a lot from Lao Ba, the evil spirit that Xiao Hu devoured, but it is still not enough.

Yang Ke in front of him is undoubtedly a very good source of information.

If they really understand the situation in Guimen Village, then Lin Mo and Chen Bing’s mission will be accomplished.

"Captain Yang, come, let's talk!" Lin Mo greeted Yang Ke. When asking for advice from others, of course one has to be respectful. There is nothing wrong with calling him Captain Yang.

Although the other party was only the leader of the village security team, he was still an official of some rank.

Yang Ke is not stupid. He has been in Guimen Village for a hundred years. According to his age, he is already over a hundred years old. As the saying goes, old people become wise...

"Do you want to know about the situation in the village?" Yang Ke asked.

Lin Mo nodded.

"Promise me one thing and I'll tell you." Yang Ke directly negotiated the terms.

"What's the matter?" Chen Bing was also sitting nearby. He guessed that Yang Ke wanted them to take him out of the village. After all, they already knew that Yang Ke was trapped here forever.

No one can stand this kind of torture.

"Help me kill that group of tomb robbers!" Yang Ke said gritting his teeth.

Chen Bing was a little surprised. He had never been to Carpenter Zhang's house, so he didn't know much about the situation there or the tomb robbers mentioned by Yang Ke. But Lin Mo knew, and even knew what evil things the tomb robbers had done.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words and directly called Xiaohu out, asking it to spit out the evil ghost Lao Ba.

"Captain Yang, look, I have already killed the eighth tomb robber and made him into an accomplice. I have already made enemies with that gang of tomb robbers. Even if you don't tell me, I will fight them to the death."

Lin Mo's trick really worked.

When Yang Ke saw the evil accomplice Lao Ba, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, okay, I've waited for so many years, and this time I finally got the chance." Mainly because Yang Ke also realized that both Lin Mo and Chen Bing were not ordinary people and their methods were extremely high.

Especially Lin Mo, who was able to survive the three-day death curse. Although in his opinion, luck was the main reason, sometimes luck is also a part of strength.

"Okay, I'll tell you about what happened in this village. I haven't been able to talk to anyone these years, and I've been feeling depressed for a long time."

Yang Ke then began to tell the story.

Lin Mo already knew a lot of things, such as the tomb robbers who entered the village a hundred years ago, and the carpenter Zhang who colluded with the tomb robbers, killed his wife and drowned her in the river.

At this time Lin Mo told Yang Ke that the real Carpenter Zhang had been killed long ago, and the one you were talking about was the second in command of the tomb robbers in disguise.

Hearing this, Yang Ke was stunned and became even more furious.

"I was wondering, how could Carpenter Zhang, a simple man, do such a thing? It turns out that all the problems are caused by that group of tomb robbers. I wish I could eat their flesh and drink their blood. If it weren't for them, our village wouldn't have become this hell on earth."

Then Yang Ke said a lot of things, some of which Lin Mo knew, but some of which he didn't know.

This includes why Guimen Village has become its current horrible appearance.

"At first, many villagers were able to remain normal. Except for a few who were killed by the tomb robbers, no one knew what had happened, including me."

"I was not in the village on the day when Carpenter Zhang's wife was drowned. I returned the next night, but something had already happened. When I returned, the village was terribly quiet, even the dogs were not barking. Later I learned that everyone was dead, and I was also ambushed. After I fell down, I found myself in this place..."

Yang Ke looked up at the village that was once again wrapped in gray fog and shook his head: "Although this looks like Guimen Village, I know that this is not it. This is the underworld. This is hell."

Lin Mo knew that someone in the village had been driven crazy by the pollution source for some reason and had become extremely murderous. Yang Ke must have been accidentally killed.

But then Yang Ke told Lin Mo that the one who attacked him was not a crazy villager, but "Carpenter Zhang".

The real Carpenter Zhang is dead.

The carpenter Zhang that Yang Ke mentioned was the second in command of the tomb-robbing gang.

Lin Mo suddenly realized something was wrong.

If what Yang Ke said was true, the second in command was still able to launch a sneak attack on others at that time, which means that the other party could definitely escape with the treasures found in the cemetery.

Then why are we trapped in Guimen Village again? What is going on?

There must be a problem.

Yang Ke went on to say that after he woke up from the nightmare world, he experienced a lot of dangers, but he was lucky. During the first three-day death curse, he hid in the village ancestral hall.

Those tablets protected him.

"The so-called three-day death curse is from Zhang who was drowned in the river. She is filled with too much resentment and will go crazy every three days. Every time she goes crazy, she will kill all the villagers who are infected by her resentment. No one is spared."

"Over the years, there have been many outsiders who came here. Some of them were infected by resentment and became one of those monsters, while many more were killed."

Chen Bing said at this time: "People who were killed innocently naturally have resentment. Over the past hundred years, the resentment here has accumulated more and more, forming this gray fog. I can't imagine how many people have died here in such a long time."

What Chen Bing said is also true.

Moreover, the number is extremely difficult to count.

After all, the time span is too long. In a hundred years, especially during the most turbulent years for China, it is normal for people to die.

Perhaps there were refugees who died here one after another, the number could be hundreds, or even thousands.

The result is that the more people die, the greater the resentment.

Eventually it became what it is today.

"Zhang was too resentful and wanted revenge, but she couldn't enter Carpenter Zhang's house. There was something even more terrifying in that yard. I saw it once a long time ago. Zhang fought with that monster and suffered a great loss. She was almost killed. No, it wasn't almost killed. It should be that the other party showed mercy, so Zhang ran away."

Yang Ke said another shocking thing.

Lin Mo asked Yang Ke whether the terrifying existence in Carpenter Zhang's house was the corpse of a mother and daughter.

Yang Ke nodded. "It was a female corpse with a big belly. I was watching from a distance. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead. She couldn't move at all. It was really horrible."

Lin Mo frowned.

The mother and daughter corpses could kill Zhang, but they deliberately let them go. What kind of drama is this?

If it was done intentionally, there must be a purpose.

Thinking about the fact that the second in command could have taken the treasure and fled far away, but insisted on staying here, Lin Mo felt that he seemed to have grasped something key.

"By the way, what's the matter with the stage in the village?"

Chen Bing asked.

This is also a point that Lin Mo is quite curious about.

Yang Ke said that the opera stage existed in the village, but due to the chaos of war, there were only a few performances throughout the year. As for the troupe that performed "The Injustice of Dou E", Yang Ke did not know much about it.

But even if he knew less, he still knew more than Lin Mo and Chen Bing.

"The origin of that troupe is mysterious. They arrived the day before and are related to the group of tomb robbers. Every time they perform a play, they attract all the villagers and monsters. I have seen that at the end of the play, after the villain in the play was beheaded, the villagers' resentment would dissipate a little. I suspect that the role of this troupe is to stabilize the situation, just like a weight, to adjust the balance."

Yang Ke’s analysis is very reliable and the metaphor is very appropriate.

Lin Mo thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

Of course, not all tomb robbers may know this, at least Lao Ba doesn’t know.

Lin Mo analyzed that the manipulator behind this incident should be the second in command who pretended to be Zhang the Carpenter, and it is even possible that the other tomb robbers were kept in the dark by him.

The situation is now relatively clear. Lin Mo has summarized his own observations, as well as the information provided by the henchman Lao Ba and Yang Ke, and the secrets of Guimen Village have slowly emerged.

Guimen Village has been trapped in a seemingly endless "vicious cycle" since a hundred years ago.

The most terrifying thing is that Zhang's resentment is so strong that even after a hundred years, it cannot be resolved and it is getting worse. Coupled with some other powerful nightmares, it can be said that the village is extremely dangerous except when performing operas.

Although there were opera troupes singing "The Injustice of Dou E" to balance the resentment, it was only a slight balance, delaying the cycle of these nightmare outbreaks to three days.

That's why there is a saying in Guimen Village called the "Three-Day Death Curse". That is to say, even if you are lucky and come in on the first day, you will die on the third day.

Lin Mo had experienced it personally, so he knew very well how terrifying the Three-Day Death Curse was.

If it weren't for the light of the red lantern that could block those nightmares, Lin Mo would have been doomed, no matter how powerful he was.

Considering the resentment that had been accumulated for a hundred years, he was simply not on the same level as others.

After the three-day death curse took effect, there was another three days of silence. Some people sang operas, some people listened to music. Finally, the accumulated resentment broke out again.

Over and over again.

This is a vicious cycle.

If this is the case, it would not be a big deal, because this relatively balanced vicious circle has been formed within Guimen Village and has been maintained for a hundred years, so it will most likely continue like this in the future.

Therefore, Qianlong City should not be affected.

But is this really the case? Lin Mo is very skeptical.

Because he felt that the secrets hidden in Guimen Village had not been fully uncovered by him.

At least he didn't know the details of the tomb-robbing gang in Carpenter Zhang's family and the corpses of the mother and daughter.

Judging from the fact that the troupe can change their faces, the troupe and the second in command are closely related, and the second in command is the mastermind behind the whole thing. In all likelihood, the other party is playing a big game.

Lin Mo really wanted to find out the inside story of this matter.

Chen Bing came over at this time and whispered: "Lin Mo, the situation has been figured out, and Lin Nan's consciousness has also been found. Our mission is accomplished."

The implication was that they had to leave.

Wait one more day, and Professor Xie outside will ask Grandma Hongxian to drag them out.

Of course, you have to hide it in a cardboard box in advance.

Lin Mo nodded.

This was a plan they had made long ago, so there was definitely no problem with it. However, there was still more than a day left before evacuation, so this time obviously could not be wasted.

It would be best if we could get rid of that group of tomb robbers.

After all, this matter was promised to Yang Ke.

Lin Mo asked Yang Ke, "You have been here for such a long time, if you want to deal with that group of tomb robbers, do you have any plans or good ideas?"

Yang Ke said no.

"If I had a way, I wouldn't have waited until now."

Lin Mo and Yang Ke looked at each other for a while before Lin Mo said, "So, you're counting on me to come up with a solution?"

"What do you think?" The expression on Yang Ke's face seemed to be saying, what you said is all bullshit.

"Let me think about it." Lin Mo couldn't think of any good solution at once.

It seems simple to destroy that group of tomb robbers. The most direct way is to rush over and fight with swords and rob openly.

The problem is, I can’t beat him.

The corpses of the mother and daughter were so horrifying.

Lin Mo still remembers the loss he suffered last time. Xiaoyu's wrist was injured, and Xiaohu was also injured. They were lucky to escape.

This time, even if Chen Bing and Yang Ke were added, in Lin Mo's opinion, they were still no match for the mother and child corpses.

That thing is so weird.

It is for this reason that Yang Ke, even though he hates those tomb robbers, has been unable to do anything about it for so many years.

We can’t win, and that’s our biggest flaw.

Chen Bing had never seen the corpses of a mother and child, so he didn't know what to say at this time.

Lin Mo stroked his chin and muttered at this time: "The mother and daughter corpses are so powerful. Logically, if the group of tomb robbers wanted to leave here, they would have left long ago. Could it be that they don't want to leave?"

He immediately brought out the accomplice Lao Ba and questioned him.

"We want to, of course we want to, but we can't get out, and the mother and daughter corpses are not completely under control. The second in command said that for now, we can only maintain this balance."

Lao Ba doesn’t know much, so it’s the same whether he says it or not.

But what is certain is that the second in command lied, and Lao Ba and the other tomb robbers may not be aware of it.

At least Lao Ba and the others didn’t know about the troupe.

The second in command didn't tell them, which shows that in his eyes, the other accomplices might also be pawns.

At this time, Lin Mo wanted to ask some questions, but suddenly, he vaguely heard a scream.

Judging from the sound, it sounds like a rabbit.

Lin Mo rushed out immediately.

Oh, and there's this rabbit.

Lin Mo had completely forgotten about this guy before, and only remembered him when he heard the screams.

"The rabbit also experienced the three-day death curse, but it didn't die?" Lin Mo wondered as he ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

He was running very fast, and soon he saw a little kid running towards him.

If you look closely, it's a rabbit.

This thing was obviously terrified, screaming and running in panic, as if something scary was chasing it.

Seeing Lin Mo, the rabbit shuddered and ran over excitedly.

“Brother, help!”

With a jump, the rabbit dived into Lin Mo's arms, trembling with fear.

Judging from the rabbit's appearance, it was not injured at all except for a little dirt.

At the same time, in the fog ahead, the shattered Man Ge staggered over.

Brother Man at this time was different from when we first met.

He seemed to have absorbed something.

Looking closely, it was Abin.

Part of Abin's body has merged with Man Ge's, and countless blood threads have pierced Abin's body, arms, chest, neck, and eyes.

The normally normal Abin now looked like Brother Man, with a vicious look in his eyes and full of resentment.

Behind Lin Mo, Chen Bing and Yang Ke also followed.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ke shook his head and said, "They are already completely infected with resentment. Go away quickly. If these monsters meet humans, they will fight to the death."

As if to confirm Yang Ke's words, Brother Man over there discovered them and pounced over with a scream.

In Lin Mo's opinion, this nightmare in Guimen Village is ranked among the top four in terms of its horror.

In Guimen Village, the most terrifying corpse is the mother and daughter corpse. The second is of course Carpenter Zhang’s wife. The third is the man who was beaten to death with sticks. Brother Man is fourth.

"Wait a moment!"

At this time Lin Mo noticed the problem. Man Ge's movements were a little strange, as if something was blocking it.

After all, under normal circumstances, with the nightmare-like strength of Brother Man, it would be difficult for him to kill the rabbit, and the latter would have no chance of escaping.

"It's Abin!"

Lin Mo reacted immediately, and with an idea in his mind, he drew out the tiger bone sickle and rushed forward.

There is only one day left, and I am begging for monthly tickets, hoping to break 2000. I have updated 220,000 words this month. If nothing unexpected happens, I can update 230,000 words by the last day, close to 240,000. Basically, there are additional updates every day, which is 8,000 words.

For Qiezi who can't write all day, this is already a great effort. I would like to take this opportunity to ask for votes! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
