Lin Mo has always been direct in doing things.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. He has analyzed the current situation. This area is inhabited by hanged ghosts. Moreover, Lin Mo knows that hanged ghosts are the second most threatening thing here.
The first one on the list is that noose.
This kind of noose is elusive and may be around your neck at any time.
Lin Mo was not exaggerating. He had just opened his ghost eyes and observed for a while. Even though it seemed calm here, he just needed to avoid those hanged ghosts.
In fact, this is not the case at all.
In this place, there are countless nooses floating around, like moths at night, floating aimlessly in the air. The most troublesome thing is that these ghost things are invisible.
In other words, it is impossible to see it with the naked eye. Lin Mo had noticed something was wrong before, so he used his ghost eyes to take a look and only then did he discover the clue.
When I shared this situation with Nie Hong, the latter was also very surprised.
She didn't even notice.
Now her eyes are not as good as the ghost eyes in terms of detection ability.
The reason why Nie Hong is fine until now is because she is careful enough and has been hiding under the bunker, so even if there is a noose, as long as she doesn't touch it, she will be fine.
Because of those invisible nooses, it is unwise to stay outside now, because Lin Mo saw that some invisible nooses actually began to drill into some hidden corners like snakes to explore, and even some narrow gaps could be drilled into by these nooses.
This worry is not unnecessary.
Because the next moment, Lin Mo heard a scream.
In the gap of a house not far away, a man was put around the neck by a noose and was pulled into the air.
She was a slightly plump white woman. She was holding the rope with both hands and her legs were shaking constantly, but it was of no avail. In the end, she was strangled to death.
He became a member of the hanged ghost army.
Obviously, there are still some survivors hiding here, but as time goes by, it is highly likely that these survivors will be found and killed one by one.
It can be said that this place is a truly dangerous place.
Next, Nie Hong led the way, and Lin Mo followed behind. The two of them bent over and walked along the corner wall like two cats, and reached the side of the old house.
I can't get in through the main entrance.
The main thing is that there are several hanged ghosts floating over there at the moment.
If you accidentally touch each other or make a noise, it will be a huge mess. You can imagine the scene after poking a hornet's nest. It would be even more exciting than that.
It will definitely be troublesome then.
So Lin Mo and Nie Hong chose to climb in through the window next to them.
Fortunately, they are not ordinary people. Their physique and strength allow them to easily climb into the window, which is open, which is why they chose to enter here.
After entering, there was a bedroom with the door closed, but I didn't find any danger.
Lin Mo poked Nie Hong, pointed at the window, and then pointed at his eyes.
Nie Hong understood and immediately hid behind the window to be on guard.
Lin Mo reached for the door.
He had to open the door before he could go out.
Normally, opening the door is not a big deal, you can just kick it, but in this situation it is not possible because you cannot make any noise, so you have to be extra careful when opening the door.
Lin Mo first observed the door and found that it was not locked but ajar.
This is a good thing.
If it is locked, there is no way to get it. Whether you open the door normally or break it in by force, it will inevitably make noise.
Lin Mo tried to pull it.
There was some sound, and he stopped immediately, then slowed down his movements.
Fortunately, this tiny sound was very weak, and even the hanged ghost with highly developed hearing ability did not notice it.
It took Lin Mo several minutes to open the door.
Eventually the angle opened up enough for him to get out.
That's enough.
If you continue to pull and a creaking sound is heard, that's it.
As long as I can go out.
Lin Mo waved at Nie Hong.
At that moment, the two of them walked out of the bedroom one after the other.
Outside was a dark corridor.
It was a mess. I don't know how long it had been since anyone had lived there. There were some things scattered on the ground, making it look extremely cluttered.
Lin Mo took a look and gestured to Nie Hong, asking her whether the butcher had really come in and why there was no sound at all.
Nie Hong said that the butcher was not a fool either.
Knowing that no sound can be made, it will definitely be quiet.
In fact, Lin Mo was worried that something might happen to the butcher.
It is undeniable that the Butcher is very powerful. In a one-on-one fight, the Butcher is not afraid of anyone. He can even rely on his bravery to exchange one-on-one with the opponent to the extreme.
That’s what happened when we dealt with the nightmare tiger.
But the monsters here are different.
They were fighting in a group.
Hundreds of hanged men rushed forward and no one could stop them.
At this moment, Lin Mo reached out and pressed Nie Hong's head into his arms.
Nie Hong did not resist. She knew very well that Lin Mo must have discovered something.
Sure enough, when Nie Hong looked back, she seemed to see a shadow moving past the place where her head was just now.
It's a murder noose.
This thing was just like a fish, swimming silently. At a close distance, Nie Hong could only barely see a shadow. Only Lin Mo's ghost eyes could see it clearly.
Apparently there was a noose in the house, too.
This is not a good thing.
Next, the two of them were more careful and slowly explored the room.
When they arrived at the living room, Lin Mo and Nie Hong saw three hanged ghosts floating there.
It looks like a family of three.
I guess he was hiding at home before, but was found by the murderer's lasso and eventually died.
It's quite miserable.
There was also a child who looked seven or eight years old.
But there is no way, this is reality. Under the invasion of nightmares, anything terrible can happen.
Even someone as strong as Lin Mo had to be very quiet and not make any noise at this time.
As long as there is no sound, these hanged men seem to be in a kind of "sleep", just floating aimlessly with the noose, like a balloon with little air, up and down, and sometimes, their feet will drag on the ground.
After making a sound, it attracts other hanged ghosts, but if nothing else is discovered, these hanged ghosts will continue to close their eyes and begin to sleep.
You know what, this scene is really creepy.
Lin Mo was fine, but Nie Hong was already showing a worried look.
She also wondered if the butcher had been killed.
Fortunately, there was no butcher among the hanged people they found in the house, which was a blessing in disguise.
This kind of house is very large, a standard residence for the middle class in White Eagle Country, with two floors above ground and one floor underground. The area is not small, and it would take time to go through it all.
Fortunately, after Lin Mo and Nie Hong came in, the knives on their bodies reacted immediately.
The butcher had a knife in his hand, and he came in this time to find a knife hidden here. Nie Hong made a big gesture to Lin Mo, which meant that the knife here was most likely the one the butcher was looking for.
Lin Mo nodded.
In that case, there's no need to look around here. Just follow the scent of the knife.
And the smell of the knife came from the basement.
Carefully passing through several hanged ghosts, Lin Mo and Nie Hong entered the entrance to the basement. The dark stairs led down, and they had to be very careful when stepping on the wooden stairs, otherwise they would make a creaking sound.
Lin Mo reached out and touched the walls on both sides.
Made of red bricks and cement, it is cold and a little damp, but absolutely solid.
This is a nice place.
Lin Mo's first reaction was that if he accidentally attracted those hanged ghosts, this place could be used to block the attack, because the place was small enough and only two hanged ghosts could squeeze in at most at a time, so only one person was needed to guard the place.
Continuing down and turning left, Lin Mo found that Nie Hong in front had stopped.
Lin Mo squatted down and took a look.
He saw the butcher.
At this moment, the butcher was standing at the entrance holding a samurai sword.
There was also a man standing opposite the butcher.
This man was tall and strong, with most of his body hidden in the darkness, but the knife in his hand was particularly conspicuous.
The knife was covered in rust, about a palm wide, with a blade more than two feet long, slightly curved, and sharp, with blood dripping continuously. But the strange thing was that when the blood dripped into the air, it would atomize and turn into blood-colored mist, which was sucked back into the knife.
The cycle repeats itself.
The knife was a good one, with a strong murderous aura on it. Lin Mo had never seen such a vicious knife before. The man holding the knife was also unusual, with a strong aura of gluttony curse on him. Looking closely, he had a white evil ghost mask with sharp horns on his face. Most importantly, his aura was very similar to that of the butcher.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you close your eyes, it is difficult to distinguish two people based on their breath alone.
This is also a butcher.
It’s not because of the brewing atmosphere, but because of the special environment here.
Outside, there are thousands of hanged men and countless strange and terrifying nooses. If you make a big noise, the hanged men and the nooses will rush in first.
That's indiscriminate killing.
Obviously, the butcher and the nightmare wearing the devil mask knew this very well, so they just confronted each other and did not really take action.
These were all Lin Mo's guesses.
It's funny to say that every one of the people present here are murderers and as vicious as ghosts, but at this moment in this place, they are all very obedient, not daring to speak, not even to fart.
There's no way, they are the powerful dragons, and the hanged man and the noose are the local snakes.
Can't afford to offend.
Otherwise, if the whole place exploded, the scene would be horrifying just to think about.
But we can't just waste time like this.
The butcher couldn't let the other party go, but he couldn't take action either. Lin Mo and Nie Hong could wait, but the Glutton couldn't. When they got off the ship, the captain said that they could only dock for three days, which was the limit.
The Glutton will leave in three days, and you will have to wait another three months for the ship to return.
That definitely won't work.
The problem is, if you are afraid of the hanged man and the noose, you won't be able to start the fight even if you wait three months.
It's really frustrating that there is a fight but you can't fight.
At this time, the person opposite also saw Lin Mo and Nie Hong, but he was not panicked at all, and even showed a sarcastic smile.
It seemed that he was sure that the other party would not dare to take action.
This is normal.
Who dares to take action in the Land of Silence? No matter how powerful a nightmare is, it will be defeated if it messes around here. This place is not only a forbidden place for the living, but also a forbidden place for nightmares.
Those hanged men and noose don't care who you are. As long as you make a sound or touch them, they will immediately trigger an attack.
The fact that the other party could walk here from outside is enough to show that he knows the rules of survival here.
Now that I know this, I will never dare to act recklessly.
So even though there are so many of them, you don't have to worry at all.
It's just a confrontation to see who can outlast the other.
If you get mad, just yell and scream. At worst, we'll die together.
Who is afraid of whom!
When it thought of its proudest achievements, its smile became even wider.
The butcher was obviously very angry. The muscles in the hand holding the knife were throbbing, and he was obviously on the verge of a rage.
But the butcher also knew that he couldn't act recklessly at this time.
To be honest, it has no other choice now, and can't think of any other solution, so it can only wait like this.
Later, Lin Mo and Nie Hong looked at each other and saw the current situation.
Nie Hong made a gesture and asked Lin Mo what to do.
Lin Mo looked at the entrance to the basement.
He wondered whether he and Nie Hong could stop the hanged ghosts from rioting.
Logically speaking, it should work.
But those nooses are elusive and difficult to deal with, and they are something that cannot be touched. Once touched, the noose will be immediately put around your neck and hanged to death.
How to block it if it can’t be touched? This is the biggest trouble.
In an instant, the two people who were originally confronting each other now became four. At this moment, the four people had their own thoughts and ideas.
Nie Hong sighed softly. She knew that there was probably no other way.
Because she couldn't figure it out.
No matter how powerful she and Lin Mo are, they cannot resist all the hanged men and noose. Although they are reluctant, they can only be stuck in this stalemate for now.
But the next moment, Lin Mo stood up and walked upwards.
Nie Hong didn't know what Lin Mo was going to do, but she followed subconsciously.
Lin Mo looked around, then found a place to sit down, carefully took out paper and pen from his backpack, and began to draw seriously.
Nie Hong thought to herself, no way.
Brother Lin, you are here to paint, but this is not the time to create.
She waved at Lin Mo, but Lin Mo ignored her and continued to paint seriously.
In the following time, the only sound was the extremely slight sound of the pencil moving on the paper. It was obvious that Lin Mo was also very careful and tried not to make any sound.
So I draw very slowly.
Lin Mo drew an infinite corridor that could trap two-dimensional ghosts.
At this moment, Lin Mo couldn't think of any other way except using the two-dimensional ghost.
When it comes to group lethality, the two-dimensional ghost is second, and no one dares to say it is first.
This kind of dimensionality reduction attack is too terrifying. Any living creature or nightmare that enters the range of the two-dimensional ghost will be crushed into a wall painting or a shadow.
But because the two-dimensional ghost is too dangerous, Lin Mo will never use it if he can avoid it. After all, it is easy to release it, just tear open the paper that imprisoned it, but it would be difficult to trap this guy again.
But this time it must be used, only the two-dimensional ghost can block all the hanged ghosts and noose.
Naturally, Lin Mo had to make adequate preparations before this.
He had to draw at least a few infinite corridor diagrams to confine the two-dimensional ghosts in the same area so that its effectiveness could be truly realized.
In addition, there is one more thing to be wary of.
That is to guard against the two-dimensional ghost from taking the initiative to strike.
But this situation is difficult to prevent.
All we can do now is to make more preparations and take things one step at a time.
Lin Mo was already familiar with drawing the infinite corridor. After all, it was not the first time he had done this. However, since he had to draw a lot this time and needed several copies, it took quite a while.
Fortunately, no one disturbed me.
He can create with peace of mind.
After drawing, Lin Mo calculated the distance, and then placed the infinite corridor on the ground, walls and ceiling at the upper entrance and the lower staircase.
In this way, the two-dimensional ghost's range of activities can be limited to the range of this staircase.
Of course, to be on the safe side, they must stay away at least two meters away, otherwise they might be drawn into the two-dimensional domain of the two-dimensional ghost.
In addition, Lin Mo also carried several sheets of infinite corridor paper with him. Once he lost control, he could use the move of scattering flowers to capture the two-dimensional ghost immediately.
The three people in the basement, Nie Hong, the butcher and the butcher wearing a devil mask, watched Lin Mo busying around.
Especially the butcher who was blocked in the basement, he felt something was wrong.
It seems like something bad is about to happen.
But if you ask me what's wrong, it can't tell me.
Anyway, I had a bad feeling and my right eyelid was twitching wildly.
It wanted to ask, but couldn't speak. It was so curious, like a cat scratching itself.
Nie Hong and the butcher were also curious.
They tilted their heads to watch Lin Mo busying around, wanting to ask something, but seeing how serious Lin Mo was, they didn't dare to disturb him.
After everything was ready, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat down on the stairs, and because he was so casual, the wooden board under his butt creaked.
In an instant, Nie Hong, the butcher and the butcher man were all frightened.
The three of them made the 'hush' gesture almost at the same time.
Lin Mo smiled and said to the butcher: "Hey, you are afraid too? Weren't you very proud just now? Weren't you smiling happily? Come on, smile for me again."
Nie Hong and the butcher were dumbfounded.
But soon, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Nie Hong's eyes.
She knew Lin Mo very well. Since Lin Mo was so confident, he must have a plan to deal with it.
The butcher could have thought of this, too.
But the person on the other side didn't know the situation.
There was fear and confusion beneath its mask.
"Are you crazy?" he said in a very low voice.
"I'm not crazy!" Lin Mo yelled.
The sound was so loud that the butcher broke out in a sweat. "Okay, you're not crazy, I'm the one who's crazy, okay? Big brother, please stop shouting, okay?"
The butcher believed that Lin Mo was a complete lunatic.
Because only a madman could do such a near-suicidal act.
"Are you scared?" Lin Mo asked.
The other party didn't say anything, because at this moment there was a very strange sound coming from above his head. It was very loud and it sounded like all the hanged ghosts had arrived.
"It's over. It's all your fault, you lunatic. We are all finished." There was a sense of despair in the butcher's voice.
Lin Mo stood up and walked to the stairs, taking out a piece of paper from his diary.
"You're done. You're alone. Don't drag us into this." After saying that, Lin Mo patted the butcher on the shoulder and said, "Go, chop that guy and take back your knife!"
