Chapter 542 They Are Not Themselves Anymore



Professor Xie said something to Lin Mo and then hung up the phone.

Obviously something urgent had happened over there.

Although Lin Mo was curious, he didn't want to disturb Professor Xie's work. Besides, matters involving the bronze door were definitely confidential and not within Lin Mo's scope of authority, so he decided not to ask around.

As for the bronze door, Lin Mo already knew that there couldn't be just one.

Based on the various information he had obtained before, he inferred that the bronze door represented death and chaos, and was related to the nightmare invasion. Lin Mo even inferred that when the bronze door was opened, it would be the beginning of a full-scale invasion of the nightmare world.

Recuperation is still leisurely.

Lin Mo looked through the remaining research results of Academician Li, trying to find clues about recasting spiritual items, and Lin Mo also evaluated his own level of spiritual power.

Unfortunately, it may just barely reach the level 2 threshold.

After all, Lin Mo has no way to split out a powerful secondary personality for himself, let alone rely on mental power to change his shape and strength.

At present, the best that can be done is to become immune to some mental control through bewitching and mental power.

That's all.

If the paper bag head was still there, then Lin Mo's mental strength wearing the paper bag head would increase rapidly and reach a level close to the third level standard.

Lin Mo was very relaxed for the whole day.

Read some information, watch TV, and surf the Internet.

When I was about to play a game in the evening, the phone rang.

Professor Xie called.

Lin Mo picked up the phone immediately.

He had been waiting for a whole day. Although he did not take the initiative to contact Professor Xie, it was because he knew that the other party must be very busy and he did not want to disturb him. But this did not mean that Lin Mo did not want to know what happened behind the opened bronze door.

There are several possibilities as to why Professor Xie called me.

One is to have a chat with yourself after the problem is solved.

Another situation is when the problem is not solved and you ask for help from yourself.

After the call was connected, Professor Xie's voice came through.

"Lin Mo, how is your recovery?"

Generally speaking, when people ask this question, the subtext is that there is work to be arranged.

Lin Mo said that he had recovered well and was eating four meals a day, not including a midnight snack and yogurt snacks.

Professor Xie was silent for a while, then he said, "Lin Mo, your recuperation has come to an end for the time being. Come to the General Administration for a meeting first."

Lin Mo agreed.

If the situation wasn't urgent, Professor Xie wouldn't have pulled himself out as a patient.

"See you later."

After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door. It was the special agent who came to pick up Lin Mo.

Lin Mo threw away the handle, changed his clothes and left.

When he left, he shook hands and said goodbye to the medical staff who had taken care of him for the past two days, especially the beautiful female nurse. Lin Mo held her hand and thanked her several times.

I went downstairs and got in the car. The driver was in a military uniform. He looked serious and didn't say a word on the road. The car was driving very fast.

It took only a few minutes to reach the headquarters building.

By the time Lin Mo sat down in the conference room, less than fifteen minutes had passed since Professor Xie called him.

Extremely efficient.

There were quite a few people in the conference room.

In addition to Professor Xie, there are several senior leaders of the General Administration.

The second-in-command of the expert group, Crow, was also there.

In fact, the No. 2 person in charge, Crow, is the highest-ranking expert, because the No. 1 person in charge is not an expert, but the deputy director of the General Administration and the leader of the expert group.

The meeting level is quite high.

Lin Mo originally thought that his level was the lowest, but he discovered several other familiar faces.

Shen He and Xiao He (captain of the combat team, who appeared in the prison of the two-dimensional nightmare in Chapter 150).

Lin Mo nodded at the two of them, and Shen He and Xiao He also nodded in response.

We certainly can't say too much in this serious occasion, we can discuss it in private later.

The meeting begins.

The director of the General Administration read out the principles of discipline and confidentiality, which was the procedure, and then went straight to the point.

It turned out to be about a bronze door being opened.

The bronze door is also a secret in the General Administration.

Moreover, the Academy of Sciences has been conducting research on bronze doors for a long time and has achieved considerable results. Academician Li, who died (missing) before, was one of the scholars responsible for the research on bronze doors.

"Nine hours ago, the bronze door of the research room at the 4th base opened automatically, and then the 4th base lost contact. After sending an elite team to investigate, the elite team also lost contact. Currently, the 4th base has been completely isolated from the outside world. We decided to send a second team to explore, but because of the previous experience, we called everyone here and want to hear everyone's opinions."

The director was brief and to the point.

It can be seen that as the director of the General Administration, his face is full of fatigue. He is in his fifties, but looks ten years older than his actual age.

During this period, only those who have been in the position can understand how heavy the burden on the shoulders of the Director of the General Administration is.

Lin Mo didn't know much about the situation and was not in a position to speak. At this time, Crow, as the second person in charge of the expert group, spoke up: "Director, sending a second group of personnel in is too risky, and we have to consider what to do if the second group of personnel also loses contact. In this case, losing contact is more likely to be dangerous than good."

The term used for missing persons is “lost contact”.

In other words, the personnel's bodies are still alive, proving that they are not dead.

But I just can’t get in touch.

The current 4th base is like an abyss that can only be entered but not exited, and is difficult to explore.

"If the second group of personnel also loses contact, we can only temporarily close the 4th base. At this juncture, abandoning the 4th base is the only option." The director had a painful expression when he said this.

This decision is not easy to make.

Because giving up means not only giving up a base, but also the people inside it.

There are more than a hundred permanent personnel in the Fourth Base, plus the elite team that has already entered. They are all the best of the best. Giving up on them like this would be like cutting one's flesh with a knife.

But sometimes, decisions have to be made.

In fact, according to the current situation, there is no need to send a second group of people in, and it can be closed directly.

But in this case, the chief made the decision alone.

Explore again.

Because exploration means there is still a possibility for the people inside to be rescued and get out. If we give up and close it directly, there will be no possibility at all.

Of course, the price was that the lives of the second group of people were at stake, as well as his own future and official position.

Because the decision is made by the director alone, if something goes wrong, he must take all the responsibility. For this reason, the director is a responsible person.

When Lin Mo heard this, he looked at Shen He and Xiao He.

They saw through each other.

Originally, they were not qualified to attend this kind of meeting, but they were called here, probably because they had been selected as the second group of investigators.

If you agree to go, it would be like putting your head on your belt. Given the current dangerous situation of the 4th Base, there is simply no way back.

Including Lin Mo, Shen He and Xiao He, they are all veteran experts. There is no way they are unaware of the dangers here.

The crow also knows this.

He put forward his request, and then said: "If you three have any opinions, you can raise them. If you can't go, I can replace you."

Neither Shen He nor Xiao He said anything.

They knew very well that at times like this, someone had to step up, and since they were chosen by the higher-ups, they were deemed to be the most suitable.

Quitting is definitely not an option.

Lin Mo thought about it and said that he had something to say.

"Is Wang Zixin a member of the elite team? Is she one of the missing persons?"

The Wang Zixin that Lin Mo asked about was the cat's name.

Fatty had said before that Maomao was in the Security Bureau’s elite team, and the first group of people who disappeared this time happened to be from the elite team, so he wanted to confirm one thing.

The crow nodded.

Lin Mo remained silent.

He had one more reason to go, whether it was for the bronze gate itself or because of his good friend, he had to make the trip.

"Okay, since you have no objection, then this matter is settled." Crow said: "In addition to the three of you, the General Administration will also send a special expert to lead the team."

Shen He and Xiao He both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there would be a special expert leading the team.

Obviously, in the real combat sequence of the General Administration, special experts are definitely the best of the best. With the presence of the best this time, the chances of success will be greater.

As to which special expert it was, it was not made clear at the meeting.

Lin Mo hoped it was Lin Nan.

Because he is most familiar with Lin Nan, and he hasn't seen him for such a long time, he misses this kid very much.

It was only after the meeting that the three of them learned from the explanations of Crow and Professor Xie that the special expert leading the team this time was not Lin Nan.

A little disappointed.

There are three special experts in the General Administration.

Lin Nan is one of them. The other two also appeared in the previous Guimen Village incident. One is the military soul and the other is the ghost king.

This time, the team is led by the military spirit.

It's that nightmare in the old military uniform.

Time was short and the mission was heavy, so this time they boarded the plane immediately and headed for the 4th base.

On the plane, Shen He and Xiao He shared what they knew about the Military Soul.

"The General Administration actually let Junhun lead the team this time. It seems that they really take it very seriously."

"Is the military soul very strong?" Lin Mo knew little about this special expert.

"More than strong."

The one who spoke was Xiao He.

Obviously, Xiao He knew more about this special expert, Junhun.

Next is Xiao He’s story.

He said that the birth of this special expert, Military Soul, was very special.

“The military spirit was not born in the country.”

This one sentence aroused Lin Mo's curiosity.

"It was about eight months ago. At that time, nightmare invasions were still small incidents. One of our colleagues in the Pheasant Country happened to hear about a horrific incident that happened in the Pheasant Country."

The horrific incident in Pheasant Country? Lin Mo and Shen He were both laughing. Obviously, in their eyes, this small neighboring country was not a good thing, and the people in it were all perverted.

Take movies for example. The movies produced in the Wild Chicken Country are extremely eerie and scary.

Therefore, there must be a lot of terrorist incidents happening in the Wild Chicken Country.

"Normally, the places where horror incidents occur are places that have some horror stories themselves, because after the nightmare invades, it will amplify the fear of human beings, create the things they fear in their hearts, and give birth to corresponding nightmares. But the place where this horror incident happened is the shrine that they are proud of."

At this time, Shen He interrupted: "Could it be the XX Shrine?"

"Yes, it is the XX Shrine." Xiao He also had a smile on his face.

After the most sacred place in the Pheasant Kingdom was invaded by nightmares, a large number of nightmares were born here. The Pheasant Kingdom officials once blocked the news and did everything possible to maintain the situation.

Moreover, foreign aid from the White Eagle Country was invited to control it.

But I couldn't control it.

The situation was once out of control.

In just one night, more than a dozen priests in the shrine and political and business leaders who happened to come to worship and stay overnight died.

After investigation, it was found that all the people were killed by the same nightmare.

Moreover, this nightmare not only killed the people from the Wild Chicken Country, but also killed other nightmares.

After hearing this, Lin Mo had roughly guessed what was going on.

"This nightmare is the military soul." Xiao He gave a definite answer.

Needless to say, some of the people who visited the shrine had a guilty conscience, and it seemed that the fear caused by their past memories had remained for decades, but before that it only tortured them on the mental and memory levels.

After the nightmare invasion, this fear in memory became reality in the nightmare world.

"For two whole months, no one from the Pheasant Country dared to enter the shrine. Once they entered, they would be infected with nightmares. Once infected with nightmares, no matter where they fell asleep, they would be killed, without exception."

"Later, the Pheasant Country was completely out of options and contacted us secretly. That's when we found a way to bring the General Soul back."

The experience was magical enough.

Lin Mo suddenly realized at this time. No wonder that special expert was called Military Soul, no wonder he wore the kind of coarse cloth military uniform that should almost be placed in a museum, and no wonder he was so strong.

As the saying goes, live as a hero and die as a heroic ghost!

The soul of the army is the ghost hero.

The plane landed at an open-air airport outside the fourth base, where several vehicles were already waiting.

In one of the cars, there was a metal box.

Lin Mo had seen a similar metal box before.

When they first met Lin Nan, the staff from the General Administration brought Lin Nan here in this kind of metal box.

Needless to say, this metal box contains the military soul.

The next step is to arrange the tasks and clarify the objectives of this operation.

Interestingly, this time Lin Mo joined the operation not as an expert from the General Administration, but as a level 5 researcher at the Academy of Sciences.

Because the opened bronze door is in the research room inside the base.

If possible, Lin Mo needs to bring back some information and observe and test the bronze door.

The vehicle carried everyone to the 4th base, where the staff were ready. Shen He carried the communication equipment that could connect to the outside world, and Xiao He was responsible for leading the way. He had already memorized the structure and terrain of the 4th base.

Special expert military souls are naturally responsible for combat.

"Then be careful." The crow said solemnly.

Professor Xie beside him also patted Lin Mo on the shoulder and said, "I feel bad for asking you to come here when you haven't fully recovered yet, but you are the only one I can think of for the Academy of Sciences."

After that, Professor Xie lowered his voice and said, "There is one more thing. Academician Li was defined as having died in the line of duty, but I know him very well. He cherishes his life very much. Think about it, if he had not made any major discovery, how could he have entered the bronze door without permission?"

Lin Mo understood.

"Professor Xie, you mean..."

"Yes, I have always believed that Academician Li is not dead, he is still inside the bronze door. This time, you help me figure it out. If possible, you must bring Academician Li out. He means a lot to the Academy of Sciences. By the way, aren't you very interested in mental power research recently? Let me tell you, Academician Li is the one who is most immersed in mental power in the Academy of Sciences. If you can rescue him, he can answer all the questions you want to know about mental power."

I have to say, this condition is extremely tempting.

Lin Mo really needs a true professional to guide him.

He nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, if I meet Academician Li, I will definitely bring him out."

"Thank you for your hard work. Be careful."

"OK."

After a brief conversation, the second group of actions began.

The three of them lay on their beds, connected to the monitoring equipment, and then closed their eyes at the same time.

Fell asleep in seconds.

This is already a basic ability possessed by people infected with nightmares.

When they opened their eyes again, Lin Mo and the other two had already entered the nightmare area of ​​the 4th base.

At the side, the special expert Junhun had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Mo took a closer look this time. The opponent's military uniform was tattered, and he had a large sword with a rolled blade on his back, with a piece of red silk tied to the handle.

It looks very bright red.

Just like it was stained red with blood.

"Let's go!"

The figure of Junhun was a little blurry, but he walked with an upright posture.

After knowing the origin of the military soul, even Lin Mo could not get angry in front of this "old man" and he was very honest.

After walking a few steps, Junhun suddenly stopped.

The other party looked around and seemed to have discovered something.

Lin Mo and the other two behind him also felt it.

There seems to be an invisible wall in front.

The military soul took a look, then stepped forward and disappeared in an instant.

This situation was beyond their expectations. It was obvious that they would pass through the invisible wall and enter another place.

"Let me report." Xiao He turned on the communicator and informed Crow and Professor Xie of the situation here.

"Let's go."

After the announcement, the three of them moved forward and passed through the invisible wall.

What surprised Lin Mo and the other two was that they did not seem to have entered another place. This was still the same passage, with no changes at all.

The military spirit is waiting for them ahead.

"Wait a minute, let me try to step back." Shen He took a few steps back, but nothing happened. Apparently the invisible wall was gone.

Later, Shen He discovered that the communicator was malfunctioning.

Unable to communicate with the outside world.

"To some extent, we have lost contact." Shen He sighed. Fortunately, they had spoken to Professor Xie and the others before, and the other party also knew that they were about to enter an invisible wall.

Therefore, this loss of contact was foreseeable, and the mission will not be judged as a failure because of this.

But at this time, Shen He discovered something was wrong.

He was the only one who was talking, while Lin Mo and Xiao He were still standing there, not saying a word.

The military soul also remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little off.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen He was also a veteran. He took a step back and reached back, ready to take out his weapon.

At this moment, the military soul in front came over with a knife in hand. Lin Mo and Xiao He also showed extremely strange smiles and also approached step by step.

At this moment, Shen He's hair stood on end and he ran without even thinking.

In another place, Xiao He was also stunned when he saw three people approaching step by step.

"What are you doing? Are you possessed?"

Although Xiao He is the leader of the combat team, he is better at strategy and planning, and this kind of talent is the most sensitive. At this moment, Xiao He sensed a problem.

There is something wrong with these three companions in front of me.

"They are no longer themselves!" Xiao He made the judgment almost instantly and ran away as well.

He would be crazy to face and fight these three head on.

At this time, Lin Mo looked at the three people who were approaching step by step with strange smiles on their faces, and he did not run.

Instead, he skillfully pulled out the brick hammer.
