Lin Mo always listens to other people's advice.

In the past, Fatty often grumbled that he should listen to people's advice and eat enough. Lin Mo asked Fatty who said such a philosophical word, and Fatty said it was his grandmother.

Lin Mo felt that what the old man said was right.

So he immediately gave up the idea of ​​exploring the mirror.

Calculating the time, three days have passed since he boarded the Glutton, and he has also slept for three consecutive days in the real world.

Since Nie Hong said that once on board the Glutton, he would still be on this ship when he entered his dream again, there was no need for Lin Mo to stay on this ship.

He said something to Nie Hong, then took out a bean and ate it.

In an instant, Lin Mo escaped successfully.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still in the luxurious five-star hotel in Whale City.

Lin Mo booked a room here for at least a month, and requested that the room not be cleaned, so he had been lying here quite comfortably by himself for the past three days.

First, I pulled out a needle stuck in my arm.

The needle end is connected to a portable nutrition machine.

It can be plugged in and also has its own battery that can run for several months. It contains nutrient solution to maintain human functions, which is specially made and is naturally the research result of the Academy of Sciences.

It was specially developed for the members of the expert group of the General Administration.

Sometimes you need to enter a dream to perform a task, which may take several days or even more than ten days. This naturally requires some special equipment to maintain the body.

You won’t starve to death.

Lin Mo ordered some food, ate something, and took a good bath.

Only an hour had passed.

Lin Mo didn't plan to enter the dreamland immediately. He thought about it, turned on his computer, wrote an email about what he currently knew about the Glutton, and sent it to Professor Xie.

After all, he was here on a business trip this time.

To Lin Mo's surprise, his phone rang shortly after he sent the email.

Professor Xie called.

After the call was connected, the first question the other party asked was: "Which ship did you board?"

After getting Lin Mo's affirmative answer, Professor Xie said that he had taken some time in the past two days to look up information from abroad and found some information about the ship.

"It is said that our foreign colleagues discovered this strange black ship six months ago. They sent people to board it, and then they were never contacted again."

There was a hint of worry in Professor Xie's tone.

Since we know nothing about this Glutton, it's normal to be worried.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, felt quite adapted to the situation after staying on the boat for a few days. The boat was big and spacious, and he had good friends to keep him company, which made him feel good.

Most importantly, Lin Mo likes the setting of 'devouring the sword spirit'.

He is a game fanatic. His favorite thing is to fight monsters and level up. He also keeps breaking swords and devouring sword spirits. This not only strengthens his tiger bone sickle, but also allows him to obtain a corresponding part of his memory.

So when it comes to understanding that ship, Lin Mo now has a lot of say.

"I guess those foreign counterparts have been brought to the table." Lin Mo joked.

"Bring it to the table?" Professor Xie didn't understand.

Lin Mo explained the situation.

For example, the livestock area, the slaughterhouse, the spacious kitchen on the ship and the various delicious foods.

Professor Xie was surprised after hearing this.

"Sure enough, I knew it!" Professor Xie was obviously very excited about this discovery, as if Lin Mo's discovery confirmed some of his guesses.

"We have known for a long time that the nightmare world has existed, and now it has been proven that some nightmares already have a certain social class. Although this structure is very special, it is generally similar to that of humans."

Lin Mo actually realized this a long time ago.

Xi Wenjun’s old house, Black Sheep Mansion, and Guimen Village.

These are real things and real people that existed in history.

The specific things involved were too broad, and Lin Mo was not a specialized researcher, so he was too lazy to explore. He informed Professor Xie of the news, intending to let Professor Xie and his team conduct further analysis and research.

Moreover, Professor Xie and his colleagues have a wide range of sources of information, even having connections with their counterparts abroad.

Speaking of which, the Glutton seemed to stop at various ports around the world, so naturally people from other places had boarded the ship.

Lin Mo felt that at least some of them got off the ship alive.

Then the information of these people is very important. Maybe various fragmentary clues can eventually piece together the truth about the mysterious ship, the Glutton.

Professor Xie thought the same way without Lin Mo's reminder.

"Lin Mo, you are still on the boat, right?" Professor Xie asked.

"Yes, once you are on that ship, you will appear on the ship again in your next dream."

"Very good, then let's make a deal. You report the news on the ship to me every day. I will help you analyze it, and I will contact my counterparts abroad to try to exchange more clues."

"Once a day? No, that's too frequent. I'm a lazy person. How about three days? We can contact each other once every three days."

"Okay, but you have to be careful. Turn on the life detector and the locator. If anything happens to you, we will know in time and come to rescue you."

"Okay, this call ends here!"

Lin Mo hung up the phone.

It was obvious that Professor Xie was very worried about him.

Lin Nan might also be involved.

Next, Lin Mo went online and checked the news and information from the past few days.

Although there are quite a few, none of them are what Lin Mo cares about. According to the news, the safety zones in several other major cities are almost completed.

However, if we calculate the total amount, it is still too little for China, a country with vast territory and large population, and it is just a drop in the bucket.

So just a few days ago, the authorities officially announced that they would increase support for individuals, businesses, and social groups to establish small safe zones.

Not only verbal support, but also "technical support" and "interest-free loans" were provided.

Lin Mo doesn't need to worry about this matter, the fat man must have started working on it.

It is said that Fatty started recruiting more talents.

The requirements are very high, and one must be a graduate from a world-renowned university. From this perspective, their Happy Life Company is starting to get on the right track, and Lin Mo is quite pleased.

As for the recent nightmare pollution incidents, they have also increased a lot. This can be felt just from the news and self-media. If you open the statistical table in the internal publication of the General Administration, you can see this upward curve more intuitively.

The growth rate is very scary.

The last page of the inner magazine is a countdown.

The meaning of the countdown is the final arrival of the nightmare world, which means that the whole world is completely invaded by the nightmare world.

At the beginning, there were still more than three hundred days left.

Logically speaking, it should be one day more, one day less.

But this countdown is not like that.

Sometimes, after a day, the number above will decrease by two.

If we rule out the possibility that the guy who made the countdown was too lax in math, then this means that the complete arrival of the nightmare world will be faster than initially estimated.

As for how much faster it will be, it’s hard to say.

Maybe almost a month.

It is also possible that the countdown will be reset in two days.

Time is running out.

Anyone in the Security Bureau who has the authority to see the internal publication will have this thought every time they see the countdown.

So everyone is racing against time.

After searching the news, Lin Mo thought for a while and logged into the internal database of the General Administration.

The query permissions for this database are set very high, and generally, experts from the General Administration do not have the authority to view it.

Lin Mo has.

Because he is now a level 5 researcher at the Academy of Sciences.

According to the division of authority, his authority is higher than Chen Bing's.

The database records the contaminated areas and nightmares that have been discovered and archived.

It is not limited to China.

There will also be some foreign regions and nightmares, but they are definitely not very complete.

Lin Mo checked the map first.

He wanted to find out the Glutton's route.

But it is impossible to figure this out at the moment. There are no marking objects. The fastest we can do is wait a few more days until the ship docks at the next port to find out.

Lin Mo printed out a map, then drew a circle at the location of Whale Swallowing City and marked it as number 14.

This stands for Pier 14.

Then according to the order, the next stop is Pier 15.

"By the way, Nie Hong said that the butcher knife was stolen. The last time we got off the ship, we docked at Pier 18. According to the rule that the ship docks at one place every seven days, it will take about a month to get to Pier 18."

Lin Mo felt that he had to tell the butcher about this.

If the butcher wants to retrieve his knife, Lin Mo will go to help.

If you promise something to others, you must do it.

Lin Mo made up his mind that the next step was to plot the route of the Glutton, which would undoubtedly be a very difficult and arduous task.

Next, Lin Mo searched for the nightmare code name "Countess".

He was just trying it out, without much hope.

But what I didn’t expect was that it was actually found.

"Nightmare code name: Countess, Nightmare of Thousand Birds Land, Rating A+. Birth time, unknown. It comes from a local horror legend that has been circulating for hundreds of years. The cruel Countess hopes to use the blood of virgins to maintain eternal youth. In this monster's castle, there are blood baths and countless corpses."

Just assume it is.

Then the other party should have boarded the Glutton at least nine months ago.

The most important thing is that the Glutton will dock in the Thousand Islands.

This is very important information.

Lin Mo found the location of the Thousand Islands on the map. It was very far away from Whale Swallowing City. He drew a circle on it with a pen and drew a question mark.

Because Lin Mo didn't know what the port number of this place was.

After seeing all this last night, Lin Mo searched for information about the captain again.

Just as he expected.

No data.

After turning off the computer, Lin Mo looked at the time and it was almost time.

He had been away for two hours and it was time to go back.

After setting up the intelligent monitoring equipment and life support system, Lin Mo closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

In room 411, Lin Mo turned his head and found Nie Hong lying next to him.

She stared at Lin Mo with her big, weird eyes.

"Have you seen Xiaorou recently?" Nie Hong asked.

There are actually two consciousnesses in Nie Hong's body.

One is the eldest daughter of the Black Sheep Mansion; the other is Nie Hong, a female college student who was killed by a rich boy. (This part is introduced in the chapter of Black Sheep Mansion) Xiaorou is her sister.

After experiencing the Black Sheep Mansion incident with Lin Mo, he was introduced to work in the Security Bureau.

Currently receiving training at the General Administration.

Lin Mo told Nie Hong about the situation, and the latter nodded: "I really envy you, you have living flesh and blood, and you can see the world of the living."

"There's nothing to envy. I'll arrange for you and Xiaorou to live in my community and build a big house for you." Lin Mo made an invitation.

"Okay, then I will rely on you to support me from now on!" Nie Hong smiled charmingly.

Lin Mo didn't buy her trick.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this woman is gentle, pretty and attractive now, but she can be very scary when she becomes terrifying. Lin Mo still remembers the three rows of sharp fangs in Nie Hong's mouth when they first met.

At this time, Lin Mo heard some noise in the house.

"Is there anyone else?" Lin Mo was still very alert and sat up immediately.

Nie Hong didn't move.

"Your pet, it said itself, is a very cute rabbit. I like it." After Nie Hong said this, Lin Mo knew what was going on.

It's the rabbit in the cardboard box.

"You let it out?"

"Yes, I was bored, so I saw a cardboard box and went to take a look. I found a rabbit inside. It said it was your little brother and told me not to mess around. I thought it was interesting, so I let it out." Nie Hong spread his hands to show that he had done nothing wrong.

Lin Mo was a little surprised.

Nie Hong was actually able to touch the cardboard box.

This cardboard box has a very strange temper. If it is someone you don't like or a nightmare, you can't touch it at all. It will teleport away, just like magnets with like poles repel each other and they can never touch each other.

Unless it wants you to touch it.

"It looks like it likes you very much." Lin Mo said.

Nie Hong didn't understand and thought Lin Mo was talking about the rabbit.

"That rabbit is very rogue." Nie Hong said, but she didn't say what kind of rogue it was.

But at this moment, there was a strange sound outside, and then the rabbit screamed: "Help, help!"

Lin Mo and Nie Hong both reacted quickly.

The two men immediately rushed to the outer room.

The mirror that was originally covered with a thick bloody cloth was unveiled, and the thick cloth fell to the ground, while cracks appeared on the mirror.

The rabbit was just dragged in by a dark shadow.

"I'm dying, I'm dying!" The rabbit was so scared that snot bubbles came out. When he saw Lin Mo, he felt like he saw a savior. However, before he could say anything else, he was pulled into the mirror.

Lin Mo glanced at Nie Hong.

The latter shook his head innocently: "I didn't tell it about the taboo."

Lin Mo was extremely fast. He took a step forward and reached out to grab it.

But it came back empty-handed.

The cracks on the mirror slowly repaired themselves, as if they had never appeared.

At this moment, the mirror seemed to have nothing unusual.

Can project a human shadow.

Lin Mo looked at the mirror carefully at this time.

It is oval in shape, with a wooden frame, and is beautifully crafted and tastefully made. It can even be considered a work of art.

You can tell at first glance that it's an old thing.

"Based on the rabbit's strength, it may not survive for more than five minutes in there." Nie Hong came over and said something. Seeing that Lin Mo didn't react, she asked, "Are you not going to save your pet?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "That's not my pet!"

"It's up to you. If you don't plan to lock it, cover it with the cloth as soon as possible, otherwise something terrible will happen." Nie Hong made a ghost gesture with his hands.

Lin Mo suddenly remembered something at this time.

"By the way, you said last time that you met Xi Wenjun. Was it in the mirror world?"

"Who is Xi Wenjun?" Nie Hong asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Lin Mo pointed to his forehead.

At this moment, Nie Hong reacted immediately.

"You mean, that woman?" Nie Hong's expression suddenly became very serious.

She nodded.

"good!"

"That's right, I haven't seen Sister Wenjun for a long time, and I miss her very much. If you are free, take me to find her." After saying that, Lin Mo grabbed Nie Hong's hand without further ado.

"I'm not going." Before Nie Hong finished her words, a hand suddenly stretched out from the mirror, grabbed Lin Mo, and pulled Lin Mo in.

And she was pulled by Lin Mo.

So it was like being pulled in by a train, and everyone was pulled in together.

Lin Mo had just observed this mirror.

The projection of myself inside is a ghost.

Although the opponent imitated very well, Lin Mo could still see that the opponent seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to attack. Lin Mo had already made plans, so he was not on guard.

Seeing that the other party was about to take action, he seized the opportunity and pulled Nie Hong in as well.

In an instant, the two entered the mirror world.

A strange laugh was heard in my ears.

"Found it, found the scapegoat, I can finally go out." These eerie words were spoken by the projection of Lin Mo, but soon, it discovered that something was wrong.

This guy who was dragged in by me didn't seem to be afraid.

And the look in his eyes clearly showed a hint of excitement. What the hell was that?

It seems that the other party is quite happy.

What the hell! "Maybe he hasn't reacted yet." The ghost smiled grimly.

They dare not provoke those powerful beings on this ship.

But there are not many powerful ones.

And, they all remember.

They will never take the initiative to provoke others. Apart from that, they can attack anyone, whether it is a strong pig-headed monster or a boatman with some abilities.

Once you are dragged into the mirror world, you can basically just let them manipulate you.

Because here, they have an inherent advantage.

“Darkness, suffocation, shadow bugs. After experiencing all this, no matter how strong you are, you can only kneel down and wail.” The ghost smiled sinisterly, and the next moment, its body turned into darkness, and then instantly swallowed up the surrounding space.

All of a sudden, I fell into absolute darkness.

It was pitch dark.

Moreover, in this darkness, you can't breathe, and there are countless ghost insects biting you.

No one can bear it.

Ten seconds later! Whoosh! A burst of fire tore through the darkness.

The surroundings became brighter under the light of the fire. Looking over there, Lin Mo was pinching a figure's neck.

The one being pinched was the ghost from before.

Lin Mo thought this guy could come up with some new tricks, but he didn't expect it to be just this?

Darkness, Lin Mo not only has ghost eyes, he also has bricks and lighters, so he can create a large flame at any time; suffocation, this vampire curse can be immune; insect bites, learn about the steel curse.

The opponent's three-pronged attack was useless against Lin Mo.

But on the other hand, any curse Lin Mo casts can suppress this ghost.
