Lin Mo was speechless.

But Zhang had already handed the child over, so she had no choice but to accept it. Zhang's resentment had finally dissipated and she was a little more normal. Lin Mo thought about not provoking her anymore.

After taking the child and looking at it, I found that the appearance of this ghost baby was really different from that of a normal baby. Not only was its skin color slightly purple, but even its pupils were a very strange pure black.

Like an abyss.

Anyway, she looks ugly! But if you look at her for a long time, you will find that she is ugly.

"dad!"

The ugly and kissy ghost baby hugged Lin Mo and kissed him continuously.

“Dad, Dad…”

Lin Mo had no way to reason with the little brat and ask it to stop barking, but the little guy barked even louder.

"I came to Guimen Village and experienced life and death, and it was extremely dangerous. Who would have thought that in the end, I would become a father?" Lin Mo really didn't expect it to be like this.

But it seems normal when you think about it.

The ghost baby must have been possessed by the second in command using some secret technique when it was in the female corpse's womb, until it was forcibly pulled out by Lin Mo and Xiaohu.

At that time, Lin Mo was in a drug-induced state and had no intention of thinking. Now that he has calmed down, Lin Mo knows that the reason he was able to pull out the second in command was not just because of his great strength.

It's not because of the umbilical cord.

Of course, the umbilical cord is important, but what is more important is the light of the red lantern.

These are Lin Mo's subsequent recollections and analysis, and his speculations. We don't know whether they are true or not, but at least there is a direction.

Anyway, the second in command was killed, and after that, the ghost baby regained its original consciousness, and the first man it saw was himself.

So, the ghost baby regarded Lin Mo as his father.

The ghost baby is of course very special, not only because of its terrifying aura and weird appearance, but also because this little thing called "dad" not long after it was born.

Most babies have this ability.

At this time, the surviving villagers in the surrounding area also gathered from all directions.

Unconsciously, the thick gray fog that had lingered in Guimen Village had dissipated a lot. Although it was still there, it was not as eerie and terrifying as before.

The village at this time was much brighter than before.

Tomb robbers are the most hated beings by all the villagers. This time they got what they wanted and took revenge, so naturally, most of their resentment dissipated.

"Yan Ke!"

At this time, an old man above shouted at Yang Ke.

Yang Ke looked up and called out, "Uncle?"

Then he reacted and said in surprise: "Uncle, do you remember who I am?"

Obviously, Yang Ke had met Old Li before, but at that time, Old Li couldn't remember his nephew most of the time.

Even if he met someone like that, Old Li would either wander around the village like a zombie, or attack like a madman under the influence of resentment.

In fact, it’s not just Old Li, most of the villagers in the village are the same.

Hatred and resentment are the source of their power, but at the same time, they are also shackles that bind their actions and even their thoughts.

When Lin Mo met Old Li under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village before, the other party happened to be slightly sober. If he had met him at another time, the other party would have attacked without hesitation.

Seeing these villagers, Zhang's eyes became sharp again.

Resentment gathers.

Apparently, she was beaten half to death, and the second in command, who pretended to be Carpenter Zhang, said that she had committed adultery, and many people in the village believed it.

In other words, from her perspective, many villagers were actually accomplices in her death.

Lin Mo naturally noticed this as well.

He walked over and handed the ghost baby to Zhang, wiped the saliva off his face, and then clapped his hands.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Many villagers looked over.

Who in Guimen Village doesn't know Lin Mo now? This guy not only set fire to their stage, but also scolded everyone. He is quite famous.

Even the children recognized him.

Lin Mo told the whole truth of what happened back then.

"So, you have wronged Aunt Zhang. She was also killed by this group of tomb robbers. By the way, come here, you, come here." At this time, Lin Mo noticed that among the crowd stood the wronged soul who was beaten to death with sticks. His eyes immediately lit up and he pointed at the other party.

The nightmare still wanted to hide, but Lin Mo said, "Don't hide anymore. Come out and clarify now to give you justice."

The nightmare thought for a moment and walked down.

"Look, there's him too. He was also wanted, but in the end, he lost his life because of a word from those bad guys. He was beaten to death. Anyone who did that back then, please stand up. Also, those who helped to drown Aunt Zhang, please stand up too."

No one moved.

Lin Mo immediately started to scold: "What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did? You don't want to come out, right? Fine, then I will definitely help them both and kill you both later."

This time, there was movement in the crowd.

Finally, a man was pushed out by two villagers nearby.

“He was involved.”

"Okay, who else is there? Come out now. If anyone else knows about this, you can report it. There will be a reward for reporting..."

At this moment, more than a dozen people were pushed out of the crowd.

These dozen people, young and old, were trembling with fear at the moment.

Lin Mo scolded them.

The scolding was very ugly. Even someone who had died once was made red in the face by Lin Mo's scolding.

One of the younger villagers couldn't bear it any longer, and he fell to his knees, kowtowing to Zhang and the man who had been beaten to death.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed the lies of the evil man. Since I have done something wrong, I will accept the punishment. You can kill me or chop me up, I, Zhang Ergou, will never hate you."

Someone took the lead, and the others also knelt on the ground, kowtowed and admitted their mistakes.

Lin Mo looked back at this time.

Zhang was trembling all over.

I don't know whether I was angry or excited.

The same thing happened to the man who was beaten to death with sticks.

To die with a stigma on one's shoulders, this kind of resentment cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Lin Mo also knew.

He just made an attempt to see if he could help solve the problem of Guimen Village.

If it can be solved, that’s the best. If not, that’s okay too.

Among them is Yang Ke’s uncle, Old Li.

At this time, Old Li knelt on the ground and sincerely confessed, crying with snot and tears.

In the end, Zhang did not go up and kill all those dozen people.

But she didn't say anything either.

Instead, he walked up with the ghost baby in his arms and entered a room inside.

The man who was beaten to death also chose not to seek revenge.

In his opinion, he and many villagers had the same enemy. Now that all the enemies had been killed, his wish was fulfilled. As for these villagers, they were just deceived. What would it matter if they were killed? Of course, what was more important was that Lin Mo was watching from the side.

He and Zhang were both aware of Lin Mo's plan. Since the other party took the initiative to get involved, he must want to resolve this feud.

Since he couldn't afford to offend Lin Mo, he could only give him face.

So even if you don’t want to let it go, you have to let it go.

Even Zhang didn't pursue the matter. Even if he wanted to rush over and kill all the villagers, he probably couldn't do it.

So this resentment has to be dissipated.

Lin Mo did have the intention of helping the villagers of Guimen Village and the Zhang family resolve their feud.

After all, the main culprit has been killed, so there is no need to continue fighting and killing. Just consider it as helping Yang Ke a small favor.

But we can't let these villagers who did wrong get away with it so easily.

Lin Mo told them directly that this matter was not over today.

"You must gain Aunt Zhang's forgiveness, no matter how long it takes, no matter what means you use, otherwise..." Lin Mo didn't say the rest.

Zhang is no ordinary resentful nightmare.

She was willing to let these villagers go now because she had just killed the second in command and it gave her some face at the same time.

But that doesn't mean she really let it go.

If she can't resolve her resentment, she will have to kill these villagers sooner or later.

If that's the case, Lin Mo can't do anything about it.

After all, one has to bear the consequences of what he has done, and he can only coordinate to this extent. No matter what, this is someone else's business, and it is not appropriate for him to persuade them to kill or reconcile.

"There are outsiders entering the village!"

At this time, a child hanging on the tree above shouted.

Many villagers looked outside the village, then moved and walked in that direction.

Lin Mo's heart moved.

The only ones who can come in at this time are colleagues from the general administration, probably Professor Xie and others.

They came in, they must have come to save me.

Lin Mo immediately put Xiaoyu and Xiaohu away and ran over.

Under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village, Professor Xie and his team looked at Guimen Village in the mist with caution.

Chen Bing said something at this time.

Professor Xie waved his hand.

"The exploration of Guimen Village is of great significance. It is related to the Qianlong Safe Zone. Lin Mo is also in it. I borrowed him from the Academy of Sciences from Lao Zheng and Lao Chen. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to explain it. In addition, Lin Nan is also in it..."

Professor Xie holds an important position in the General Administration.

But just now, they found that the fog in the Tunmen area had dissipated a lot, and the detection equipment could already detect the situation inside, and even could see the Guimen Village looming inside from a long distance.

Obviously, something huge had happened inside.

At present, the situation seems to be developing in a positive direction. In addition, the two special experts transferred from the General Administration have also arrived, so Professor Xie decided to enter Guimen Village for investigation.

Outside, there are crows.

Each of them was tied with a red thread from Grandma Hongxian, so that they could escape even if they encountered danger.

Chen Bing had previously verified that even if one encountered a closed ghost domain, the red line could still lead people through it and escape. It was for this reason that Professor Xie came.

One more thing.

Two special experts in front.

A man wearing an old military uniform, serious and with a special aura, looking like a sharp sword.

The other one was wearing a bright red robe, but had a face full of black beard, a sword hanging from his waist, and was riding a donkey, sleeping soundly on its back.

Others may not know, but Professor Xie knows that among the special experts in the General Administration, these two are the most powerful.

No doubt about it.

It is also because the Qianlong Safe Zone is too important that the General Administration made an exception and urgently deployed these two people here.

Professor Xie followed along because of these two special experts.

With them around, at least safety is guaranteed.

At this moment, the uniformed expert in front stopped and the donkey next to him also snorted.

Professor Xie and others also stopped.

A strange wind blew over and the mist floated.

When the fog slowly dissipated, everyone realized that they were surrounded.

Nearly one hundred to two hundred resentful villagers surrounded them.

This scene is rare.

The several members of the expert group who accompanied them were dumbfounded.

Especially when he saw that among the many villagers, there were several monsters with extremely terrifying auras, one whose body seemed to be broken into hundreds of pieces, but were still connected by blood.

There was another one, a bloody monster that looked like it had been beaten to death.

The other villagers also looked gloomy and were staring at them with unfriendly eyes and bad intentions.

The uniformed expert in front was unmoved, and the bearded man on the donkey's back didn't even wake up. The donkey just stared at the villagers around it, then lowered its head and took a bite of the grass on the ground and chewed it calmly.

Chen Bing knew these villagers. He stepped forward and asked, "Where's Lin Mo?"

When questioning, Chen Bing felt nervous.

I thought to myself, will Lin Mo be in trouble? "It's you!" Old Li recognized Chen Bing among the villagers and smiled grimly: "Mr. Lin is doing well. He helped us get revenge and killed that group of tomb robbers. He is a good man, and good people are rewarded. Now he has a big fat son..."

"Yes, we all saw it, he has a son." The auntie with a knife stuck in her neck also echoed.

Chen Bing was stunned.

What the hell is going on? Lin Mo is a single guy, where did his son come from? At this moment, Lin Mo also squeezed through the crowd.

"Make way, make way!"

Lin Mo couldn't squeeze through the middle, so he got angry and yelled.

Many villagers were so scared that they immediately made way.

Seeing this scene, Professor Xie's eyes lit up.

"Professor Xie, why are you here too?" Lin Mo thought Chen Bing would bring people back, but he didn't expect Professor Xie to come in directly.

Quite touching.

Professor Xie is old and holds a high position of power. He is willing to risk his life to save him, which is a great favor.

Professor Xie explained the situation outside in just a few words, and then asked Lin Mo about the situation inside.

Lin Mo mentioned everything except the Demonic Soup.

Although it was an understatement, Professor Xie knew that the situation at that time was definitely quite dangerous. There was a ghost fetus that had absorbed a hundred years of resentment, and there was also a second-in-command plotting behind the scenes. If he made a wrong move, he could be doomed.

But now, Lin Mo seems to have solved everything.

This is definitely a pleasant surprise.

"Where is the lantern?" Professor Xie asked.

Lin Mo did not mention the Demonic Soup, so naturally he had to attribute this victory to something else, so the Red Lantern became the best scapegoat.

Besides, this lantern has a mysterious origin and extraordinary functions.

Lin Mo took Professor Xie to Carpenter Zhang's house to get the lantern.

As a result, the moment they saw the lantern, the two special experts there reacted.

The man in the old-fashioned military uniform looked over immediately.

Even the big man in red robe and black beard who had been snoring woke up at this moment, staring at the lantern in Lin Mo's hand with his eyes as big as copper bells.

"Where did you get this thing?"

The red-robed man asked.

Lin Mo said that he got it from a villager, but he had lost his memory of that villager and couldn't get any information from him.

"What a good thing, the Resentment-Repelling Lamp, which is specially used to remove resentment. And resentment is the main thing here, no wonder it can destroy that second in command."

After the big man in red robe finished speaking, he changed his posture and lay on the donkey's back and fell asleep again.

The other party is a special expert, and Professor Xie has already told Lin Mo about this.

In Lin Mo's eyes, these two special experts temporarily transferred from the General Administration are very powerful, even more powerful than Lin Nan.

"Lin Mo, I want to take this resentment-repelling lamp back to the Academy of Sciences for research." Professor Xie was not polite and asked for it directly. Lin Mo asked him whether he wanted it or borrowed it.

Last time, Academician Chen borrowed a black mobile phone and later returned it.

I must ask clearly this time.

After all, the Red Lantern was his 'captured' trophy.

Professor Xie was happy.

"It's a loan. Don't worry, I'll return it to you after I finish my research."

"That's fine!"

Lin Mo was also straightforward and handed the red lantern to Professor Xie.

Lin Mo also planned to take the red lantern with him when he went to the Glutton, maybe it could save his life.

After thoroughly understanding the situation in Guimen Village, Professor Xie began to think about how to deal with it. In Professor Xie's mind, the safety of Qianlong Safe Zone comes first.

For the Qianlong safe zone, nearly two hundred resentful villagers are definitely a hidden danger.

Especially when it is so close to Qianlong City.

Either clear it all or move it.

However, after a brief investigation, Professor Xie soon discovered that the real problem might not be these villagers.

These villagers have lived in the village for a hundred years and have long since become one with the place. It is simply unrealistic to try to eliminate them individually.

As long as Guimen Village still exists, these villagers will come back.

As long as the resentment persists, the ghost will never be destroyed.

Besides, if we really did that, the villagers would definitely jump out and fight us to the death.

The ordinary villagers are fine, but the two special experts just said that there are two more terrifying resentful entities in Carpenter Zhang’s house, and they are very difficult to deal with.

Professor Xie knew that the two resentful entities inside should be Zhang and the ghost baby that Lin Mo mentioned.

Zhang is fine, as he has two special experts who can get rid of it if they really need to, but the same cannot be said for the ghost baby.

Regarding this matter, the old military uniform expert shook his head repeatedly, while the red-robed man fell asleep without saying a word.

From this feedback, Professor Xie understood that the issue in Guimen Village could not be resolved with simple and crude methods.

If it cannot be eliminated, the only option is to control it.

Professor Xie already had a plan in mind for this matter.

He found Lin Mo and threw the question out directly.

"My opinion is to clear out Guimen Village!" Professor Xie was shrewd and set a trap for Lin Mo first.

Lin Mo glanced at Professor Xie.

I thought to myself that if you could clear it up, you wouldn’t ask me again.

Lin Mo didn’t know about other things, but the ghost baby was definitely not so easy to kill.

"In fact, there is no need to clear them out. Most of the villagers' resentment has subsided, and many have regained their sanity. They will not pose any threat to the Qianlong Safe Zone."

Lin Mo was telling the truth.

Lin Mo just found out that these villagers cannot leave the village, so there is no need to worry about the villagers running to the Qianlong safe zone.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I think these villagers treat you very well and listen to you. I'll leave the responsibility here to you. It would be best if you can also take on the position of village chief." As soon as Professor Xie opened his mouth, he made all the arrangements for Lin Mo.
