Chapter 447: Hanging the Red Lanterns High



The power of the gluttony curse allowed Lin Mo and Nie Hong to recover quickly.

The price is hunger.

Very hungry.

In the darkness, both of their eyes were glowing green.

The rabbit looked around but couldn't find the cardboard box. Its heart sank and it was filled with despair. Its desire to survive made it try to reduce its presence as much as possible.

If these two people get so hungry that they eat themselves, there will be no way to complain.

"Get something to eat?" asked a female voice with a slightly thirsty tone.

"Okay!" The man's voice also carried a hint of desire.

The next moment, two pairs of green lights began to move quickly in the darkness, like two hungry wolves, and the rabbit held the belt of one of them and drifted with the flow.

"Is there anything eatable here?" the man's voice sounded again.

"Yes, I've been here before. There's a kind of strange horse here. Although it's a little unpalatable, it can fill your stomach and has no side effects." The woman's voice was hurried.

I guess he couldn't help it.

"Quick, quick, where is it? Take me there."

"Don't rush me. I'm more anxious than you. There's a blackthorn forest ahead. It's in the forest."

The next moment, the two rushed into a dark and twisted woodland.

After a moment, I remembered the roar of some horse-like creature. From the sound, I could tell that it was surprise at first, then anger, then fear, and finally begging for mercy.

In the woods now.

Lin Mo and Nie Hong sat opposite each other, one holding a horse leg in his hand and the other holding a horse heart, eating with relish.

“It tastes just average.”

"I told you, it tastes terrible, but the good thing is that there's no other mess, no curse, no toxins."

A strange horse with a pitch-black body was lying on the ground. There seemed to be fire in its eyes, but it was extinguished at this time. The strange horse had been dismembered and was deader than dead.

I’m full.

Actually, it can’t be considered full.

Under the curse of gluttony, there is no such thing as a feeling of fullness. If you don't control yourself, the end result will be death from overeating.

Lin Mo and Nie Hong naturally would not do such a stupid thing.

They each understand their own limitations.

Stop when you have almost finished eating.

Even if the hunger is still there.

But that is an illusion brought about by the gluttony curse, just like the gluttony curse will make you think that the meat of the pig-headed monster is very delicious. If you really believe it and eat it, then you will be the next pig-headed monster.

"Do you really want to find that woman?" Nie Hong's voice returned to its original calm and lazy tone, and she threw the remaining piece of meat in her hand to the ground.

The 'woman' Nie Hong mentioned was Xi Wenjun.

It can be seen that she is very afraid of the other party.

Obviously don't want to see each other again.

"I have to say something to you about this. You shouldn't be so negative. My friends are your friends, right?" Lin Mo wiped his mouth and said, "Xi Wenjun is actually quite reasonable. She always follows the rules, and her craftsmanship is pretty good. The lanterns she makes are very beautiful."

Speaking of lanterns, the lantern that Lin Mo got from Guimen Village was borrowed by Professor Xie for research, otherwise it would be suitable to walk around with a lantern here.

"Anyway, I don't really want to see her." Nie Hong was stubborn. It was obvious that she had a deep psychological trauma towards Xi Wenjun.

Speaking of which, Lin Mo didn't know what happened last time. Now that he had eaten and rested, it was a good time to ask.

Nie Hong said that the last time she looked in the mirror on the boat, she saw a woman wearing a red wedding dress in the mirror.

There was a solemn look in her eyes.

"The other party was also humming a weird song."

When Lin Mo heard this, he nodded: "It must be her. Go on, what happened next?"

"Yes, I was the first to attack, but she suddenly walked out of the mirror. If it were you, you would also think that she was up to no good."

Nie Hong's eyes were slightly evasive.

"Lost the fight?"

Lin Mo asked.

Nie Hong didn't say anything this time.

It is accepted by default.

But Nie Hong thought about it and probably felt that she had to say something, so she added: "Although I lost, she didn't gain any advantage either."

Lin Mo didn't believe this.

He had personally experienced Xi Wenjun's abilities. Xiaoyu tried his best but failed to stop the opponent. If he had not discovered the secret in the red box and had good luck in resolving the crisis, he would have been turned into a lantern by Xi Wenjun.

But Nie Hong is not bad either. She lost but she was not skinned. She is already very strong.

Nie Hong continued her story at this time.

"Later, your friend caused a big incident on the Glutton. She actually invaded the captain's area and seemed to have fought with the captain."

"That time was a major incident on the Glutton."

captain?

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

Both the Butcher and Nie Hong said that the biggest taboo on the Glutton is the captain.

Can’t look at it, can’t talk about it.

You have to know that both the Butcher and Nie Hong are extremely powerful nightmares, and they don’t even have the courage to fight against the captain.

Are Butcher and Nie Hong the kind of people who give in easily?

Obviously not.

That can only mean that the captain is really amazing.

Basically defined as a being that cannot be messed with.

How dare Xi Wenjun, the bride, dare to provoke such a fierce woman? However, Xi Wenjun herself is also very fierce, so Lin Mo is not surprised that she really did such a thing.

"And then?"

"That woman must have lost the fight, otherwise, she would be the captain now." Nie Hong spread her hands, her red nails were very conspicuous at this time.

Lin Mo wanted to continue asking, but at this moment, a strange scream came from a distance.

"This voice sounds familiar." Lin Mo felt like he had heard this voice somewhere before.

Soon he remembered.

It's the female monster in the slaughterhouse in the livestock area.

Because I was very impressed by this guy at that time.

"Go and take a look!" Lin Mo rushed over immediately.

"Why don't we not go? It's better to have less trouble than more." The rabbit said weakly.

However, neither Lin Mo nor Nie Hong paid any attention.

"Oh!" The rabbit let out a long sigh. It began to miss the Green Garden Community and Little Red Skirt. Although it was quite scared in Little Red Skirt's hands, it was still much more comfortable than following Lin Mo.

At least you don't have to worry so much.

"I want to go home!" The rabbit started sobbing softly when he thought of the injustice he had suffered.

After filling their stomachs, Lin Mo and Nie Hong ran as fast as two cheetahs. Nie Hong didn't expect that she could run so fast in high heels.

There is an iron gate in front, covered with rust.

Looks familiar too.

"I remember now, isn't this the iron gate of the slaughterhouse?" Lin Mo suddenly realized, yes, this is the mirror area of ​​the slaughterhouse.

There must be a mirror in the slaughterhouse.

Lin Mo was only concerned with finding the butcher at the time. Later, because the female monster was about to come back, he was looking for a hiding place and did not pay attention to the mirror in the slaughterhouse.

Now that I think about it, the butcher must not have come up via the conveyor belt, but for some reason, entered the mirror world.

It's possible that he went in by himself, or more likely that he was dragged in by some monster.

Lin Mo and Nie Hong opened the iron gate and saw light inside. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was indeed the mirror image area of ​​the slaughterhouse.

And inside, the butcher was fighting with the female monster.

It can be seen that the female monster has an absolute advantage. Its size and strength exceed that of the butcher, and its knife is also stronger than the butcher's kitchen knife.

Lin Mo went up to help without saying a word.

When Nie Hong saw Lin Mo got on, she also got on.

It was originally a one-on-one duel.

Now it becomes three against one. If necessary, it can become four against one, five against one, or even six against one.

No matter how strong this female monster is, Lin Mo is not afraid.

I was hiding before because I hadn't been discovered yet. Since it was a 'secret infiltration', I definitely couldn't actively turn it into a 'unparalleled brawl'. Now it's different, the fight has already started, and people's brains are almost beaten out, so there's no need to talk nonsense.

Now it depends on whose fist is harder.

Facing such an enemy, it didn't matter whether Xiaoyu and Xiaohu appeared on the scene, so Lin Mo directly used paper men.

This is called doing it in one step.

Lin Mo has already reached a certain level of proficiency in judging the battle situation.

After the 'female monster' copied from the paper man came on the field, the situation of the battle immediately turned around.

Under the female monster's unwilling and fearful roar, it only resisted for less than a minute before being dismembered.

In the end, the butcher grabbed the opponent's samurai sword and cut off the female monster's head.

He looked at the butcher, who pointed to the huge mirror in front of him and then to several huge black spiders next to it, as if to say, I was also helpless at that time.

Lin Mo understood.

There are a lot of spider webs here.

Even some of the pig head corpses projected in the mirror were wrapped in thick spider silk. Except for a few that had already broken open, the rest were still wriggling, like insect cocoons.

The black spider should be a strange creature in the mirror world. When the butcher was looking for a passage, he accidentally looked into the mirror and was dragged in by the black spider inside.

There were quite a lot of spiders, and the butcher lost the initiative, so he was trapped in the spider silk. Although he spent time struggling to break free, by that time, he estimated that he had already gone up through the conveyor belt.

As for the female monster in the slaughterhouse, she must have discovered something in the mirror, so she took the initiative to enter.

The butcher's body was covered with wounds, some of which were penetrating wounds, but the curse gave him powerful vitality.

I definitely can’t die.

There is no way to escape from the discomfort for a while.

Nie Hong and the butcher are old acquaintances.

However, the butcher had lost too much of his memory, so he only remembered a little. Comparatively speaking, Nie Hong remembered more. She said that the butcher was originally in charge of the slaughterhouse in the livestock area, but later, for some unknown reason, the butcher lost his position as the "master" of the slaughterhouse.

Only the butcher knows this.

But the butcher doesn't care about the slaughterhouse, he only cares about his 'knife'.

Regarding the butcher's "knife", Lin Mo had already learned some information from Nie Hong, and he told it at this time.

After listening to this, the butcher turned around and asked Nie Hong: "When can we arrive at Port 18?"

It can be seen that the butcher will go even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

Without hesitation.

"About twenty days, if nothing unexpected happens." Nie Hong said truthfully.

She glanced at Lin Mo.

She hoped that Lin Mo would not wade into muddy waters. Pier 18 meant an unknown contaminated area, and it was a contaminated area abroad. No one knew what was there.

No one knows what will happen.

Too dangerous.

Anyway, if Lin Mo doesn't go, she definitely won't go.

Even if Lin Mo wanted to go, she would think about it, because the first thing Nie Hong had to do now was to take back her own knife.

Lin Mo came over and patted the butcher's unnaturally broad shoulders.

"Brother Butcher, I've thought about it. You and I will help Miss Hong get her knife back first. Her knife is in the hands of the Countess. If the three of us work together, it should be an easy task. After we get to Pier 18, we will get off the boat and help you get your knife back."

Nie Hong wanted to ask, why do you make decisions for me?

I really want to stab you to death.

But she didn't say that, nor did she do that.

Of course the butcher had no objection.

He suffers from communication disorder, severe introversion and social phobia. Basically, he believes whatever Lin Mo says.

"What do you think?" Lin Mo asked Nie Hong again.

Nie Hong nodded without hesitation.

"That's settled then!"

Lin Mo was very happy.

This time, we found Nie Hong very smoothly. Next, we can help the two of them get the knife back, and get some information and routes about the Glutton in the process. That would be perfect.

Since Lin Mo agreed to help Nie Hong first, this matter must be done with absolute certainty.

Nie Hong was alone and helpless before, so she worked hard to save gold coins and treat others to meals in the hope of getting help from other passengers.

But in Lin Mo's opinion, it was a waste of money.

Even if the other party agrees verbally, when the fight really starts, there is a high probability that he will fail miserably.

At critical moments, it is still your own people who are insured.

With just the three of them, it should be enough, actually. But when doing things, it would be better to be more secure. After all, being 90% sure is not as good as being 100% certain.

So Lin Mo planned to look for Xi Wenjun.

The strength of the wedding dress ghost is obvious to all, and Nie Hong cannot beat her in a one-on-one fight.

Even Lin Mo suspected that Nie Hong was able to save her life not because of how strong she was, but because of other reasons, for example, it was possible that Xi Wenjun would not kill women.

Isn’t there a saying like that?

Women, why do you have to make things difficult for women! The mirror world is huge.

Some places are even twisted and you have no idea where they lead to.

But since Nie Hong said that Xi Wenjun had appeared here several months ago and had a fight with the captain, it means that Xi Wenjun and her old house are still nearby.

One reason is that she failed last time.

So, the next step is to look for a place with a red lantern made of human skin, and then we should be able to find her.

Lin Mo's speculation was obviously correct.

After searching for a few hours, Lin Mo discovered a red light in front of him.

As we got closer, we gradually saw an ancient house.

A row of red lanterns are hung in front of the gate of the house.

The texture of that lantern is very special.

Lin Mo knew that it was human skin.

"Found it, finally found it." Lin Mo was a little excited when he saw the old house again.

Looking back, I was just a weakling with no strength of my own. I relied on Xiaoyu to dare to enter such a dangerous place.

And still get out alive.

It’s not easy.

It's just sheer luck.

The situation is of course different now. Lin Mo feels that he has grown stronger. He is not bragging, but compared to himself when he first met Xi Wenjun, he is now a real master.

A battle-hardened beast; a seasoned hunter.
