What is taboo?
That is what is defined as something that cannot be done. Sometimes, it is the constraints of morality, discipline and law; sometimes, it is the danger that one is aware of and will inevitably face.
For example, poison is poisonous and will kill you if you eat it.
Poison is a taboo.
Can't eat.
Because if you eat it you will be poisoned to death.
Knives can hurt or even kill people, so don't stab yourself or others with a knife.
For example, you cannot point a gun at others.
These are all taboos.
Why is this file from the General Administration classified as "taboo"?
This is because according to the assessment and recommendations of the General Administration, it is best that no one ever looks at this thing again, and no one ever tries to explore the secrets within it.
Because it's too dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
All of the above words were said by Professor Xie.
Lin Mo was annoyed by what he heard, so he asked, "If it's so dangerous, why not just destroy it?" Professor Xie shook his head.
"Everything has its good and bad sides. This forbidden thing may come in handy sometimes. If it is destroyed, what if it is needed in the future? Isn't that a loss? Besides, the current taboo may be solved in the future."
When Lin Mo heard this, he felt that the leader was worthy of being a leader and his perspective was high.
"If it were me, I would just burn it. It would be useless to regret it then. As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be undone." Lin Mo was so decisive in doing things.
Professor Xie didn't have time to chat with Lin Mo.
"This time it concerns your own life and death, so I am making an exception. Fortunately, the director also values you very much and knows that your life is in danger, so he signed to let you see this. But whether you want to go to this place or not is up to you. In addition, the General Administration cannot provide you with personnel assistance, but there is no problem with logistical supplies."
Lin Mo also understood this.
It has been listed as a taboo by the General Administration, so the dangerousness of this place can be seen from the archives.
Generally speaking, people from the expert group would just go there to deliver their food.
There are only three special experts who can help.
But the three special experts are all treasures in the General Administration. If it is a mission related to everyone's life and death, it is worthwhile to send them out. Just because of Lin Mo's life, the General Administration is estimated to be willing, and Lin Mo is embarrassed.
"Yes, you must be embarrassed, so the General Administration will not provide you with any staff assistance." Professor Xie said.
"Does it make sense that I'm embarrassed?"
Lin Mo was too lazy to argue about this matter, as he was aware of the difficulties faced by the General Administration.
Among the three special experts, Lin Nan is still in the recovery period and cannot be dispatched.
There are only two left, and there are so many crisis situations to deal with every day, and the nightmare has already invaded in an all-out manner. At this critical time, the other two special experts must not be moved.
Those are the two magic weapons that stabilize the sea.
Others in the General Administration? Lin Mo was not bragging, except for the three special experts, there were almost no others who could be compared with him.
Of course, he didn't have to go this time.
If he really must die, then he would not go, because he already has the 'Cat God' curse in his hand. Although it is not as good as the undead, it is enough.
Lin Mo wanted to think about it more. If he wanted to think about it, he needed more clues. He asked Professor Xie, did Lin Nan really not remember the process of obtaining the "Undead" curse? Professor Xie nodded.
"When Lin Nan came back, he was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul. Later, the General Administration arranged many experts to investigate, but in the end, none of them came back. The General Administration really knew nothing about the situation in that place."
"I see!"
I have understood everything I need to know. It is great that Professor Xie can help me so much.
Lin Mo also needs to consider whether to go.
He also has a special residence in Qianlong Security Bureau. In the room, Lin Mo closed the door and opened the cardboard box.
Dad crawled out from inside.
Lin Mo explained the situation.
He couldn't handle this matter alone, so he had to discuss it with his father.
After listening to this, the old man chuckled and said, "I suggest you go and have a look."
"Dangerous? What's not dangerous? We can't stop moving forward just because of a little danger. As I said before, the Cat God Curse has disadvantages. Although the disadvantages are not as big as seven lives, they still exist. If there is a better choice, we must strive for it. After all, once you are stained with this curse, it is impossible to get rid of it. It will be a lifelong thing."
Lin Mo agreed with what his father said.
This time, my father went with me and I didn’t bring any other burdens.
This way it's hard for anything to go wrong.
Even if Yuan Xiuqing came, they could still compete with each other.
So I decided to go to the place where the taboo archives were recorded.
The information in the archives is actually relatively detailed.
The place they were going to was difficult to enter, and the archives recorded the method of entering that place.
The specific location is in a small county town around Luoyan City.
"This place is quite close to our home." said Dad.
indeed.
Before Lin Mo came to Houniao City to develop, that is, when his father was still alive, they had always lived in Luoyan City. Lin Mo grew up in Luoyan City. Although he had not been to the surrounding counties much, it was relatively close after all.
There is a sense of intimacy.
Lin Mo returned to the real world and booked a ticket directly. When he arrived at the small county town, the sky had just begun to darken. If one looked carefully, one could still see the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon.
Time is running out.
There were less than two days left before the three-day deadline. Fortunately, with Cat God as his backup, Lin Mo felt more confident.
If all else fails, choose Cat God.
It's okay to be a little bit down, it's no big deal.
Lin Mo did not waste any time. He followed the instructions in the file and first found a place to live near a polluted area in this small county town.
Because of the nightmare crisis, small towns like this have become extremely depressed. There are few people on the streets during the day, and after dark, there is no one at all.
After checking into the room and locking the door, Lin Mo washed his face first. Then he lay on the bed, connected the body monitoring equipment, and fell asleep directly.
The priority of dream entry position is as follows.
If you were in the same polluted area before, then if you fall asleep here you will be in the place where you woke up last time.
If it is not the same polluted area, or even the same region, the dream will appear in the nearest polluted area.
Lin Mo opened his eyes and found himself standing on the street.
This is the edge of the county's polluted area, less than one kilometer away from where Lin Mo sleeps.
After letting Dad out, the father and son looked around.
"I've been here before." Dad looked at a road sign, pointed and said, "I had a friend who lived here before, and I came here to drink with him. Now, so many years have passed. Time flies."
When I get older, I like to reminisce about the past and feel sentimental.
It was Lin Mo’s first time here. He walked to the side of the road and found a dilapidated bus stop.
This bus stop sign looks very old, as if it was made decades ago. There is no shelter from the wind and rain where you wait for the bus. It is just a bus stop sign on the side of the road.
The General Administration's taboo file says that to enter 'that' place, you need to wait for a minibus here.
Of course not just waiting.
No matter how long you wait, the car will never come.
There has to be a special method.
That is to find a real nightmare to wait for the bus with.
This matter may be a little difficult for others, but for Lin Mo, his father is already there.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a tattered minibus drove over from a distance.
Even Lin Mo had only seen this kind of old vehicle on TV.
The car stopped, the door opened, and a gloomy man stuck his head out.
"Let's go to the county town, the west gate, the guesthouse, shall we?"
“Go, go!”
Lin Mo and Dad got into the car one after another.
The minibuses in the past were not as spacious and bright as the buses today. They were small and crowded, and even with the windows open, the smell in the car was stuffy and stuffy. Besides the smell of gasoline, there was also the smell of feet and body odor.
After getting in the car, my dad said he missed this feeling a lot.
"At that time, when your mother and I went out, we often took the minibus, ah..."
Dad muttered something and said nothing more.
He rarely mentioned Lin Mo's mother in front of Lin Mo.
Lin Mo also knew that his mother passed away early, saying that she died after he was born. To be honest, Lin Mo had never met his mother, so he didn't have any special feelings for her. His father didn't mention it, and Lin Mo didn't want to mention it either, for fear of making his father sad.
This time, Dad actually brought it up on his own initiative, and it seemed to have really brought back memories of the past.
The door closed and the minibus continued to move forward unsteadily.
This car has no comfort at all and seems a little crooked.
The man collecting the fees stretched out his hand in the darkness to ask for money.
Lin Mo was ready for this.
The money was obtained from the General Administration. It was also the old version of money. Lin Mo remembered using it when he was a child.
It's not common nowadays.
Especially in the nightmare world, it has never been seen before. If it weren't for the help from the General Administration, Lin Mo wouldn't even be able to pay for the fare for this car.
It's the details.
With the General Administration's taboo files, those problems are no longer a problem for Lin Mo.
After receiving the money, the eldest brother was very happy and let the Lin father and son do whatever they wanted.
The minibus is very small and can only seat about a dozen people at most.
If it is rush hour, there is no place to stand. It is really crowded, like sardines in a can. Even if you faint from lack of oxygen, you can't fall down.
But this car is not that crowded.
But it’s not empty either.
After a quick glance, I saw that there were already quite a few 'passengers'.
"Are you two together? Where are you getting off?" the toll collector asked in the dark.
Lin Mo said he was at Xinghua Hotel.
"Okay, I'll call you when we get there."
Lin Mo and his father walked to the back and sat down in two empty seats.
The car windows were extremely dirty and I couldn't see the scenery outside at all. In addition, it was dark in the car and no one was talking. The only sounds I could hear were the engine sound that was about to fall apart and the noise from the road.
Lin Mo looked at a passenger next to him at this time.
The other person was dressed in a very retro style, with a grey top, black pants, and cloth shoes.
On tiptoe.
He exudes a gloomy aura.
Perhaps he felt that Lin Mo was looking at him, so he twisted his neck and looked at Lin Mo.
He had an unshaven beard, a sullen face and cold eyes.
It's an evil ghost.
Seeing the other party's unfriendly look, Lin Mo asked in a low voice: "Brother, you have been standing on tiptoe, don't your legs feel tired?"
At this time, the other person's throat made a gurgling sound, like the sound of countless bubbles bursting.
It looks like he wants to talk.
At this time, Dad hit Lin Mo on the forehead.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
After scolding his son, the father said to the man, "I'm sorry, my son is asking nonsense questions and can't speak, just ignore him."
The man glanced at his father, and seemed to think for a moment with his gloomy face. Then he nodded and slowly turned his head back.
Dad and Lin Mo said, this ghost is quite fierce, why the hell are you provoking it for no reason.
Lin Mo said that it was quite boring on the road, so why not chat? Maybe he could get some other intelligence clues. At worst, he could make friends.
His son's ways are rather wild, and even he, as a father, can hardly control him.
"Anyway, be honest, don't cause trouble, it's better to be safe." Dad shared his life experience.
Maybe because she talked too much and was a bit too talkative, the head of a girl in front of her who was hugging a basket turned towards her with a creaky sound.
He turned his head 180 degrees without moving his body, just his head.
"Brother, can you be quiet? My son is asleep, don't wake him up."
When the father looked over, he saw that the other person seemed to be holding a swaddling cloth in his arms, but the little hands that emerged from the swaddling cloth were rotten and blackened.
"Excuse me."
Dad apologized.
Lin Mo covered his mouth and laughed foolishly.
The minibus stopped twice, but no one got off.
There were people who got on the bus.
An old lady with a very long neck got on the bus with a cane.
But there were no seats left on the bus.
The old lady looked around the carriage with a grim look in her eyes. Although she didn't say anything, she obviously wanted others to give her a seat.
But no one was willing to give up their seat.
Lin Mo didn't give in either.
The main thing is that this old lady is extremely malicious and obviously has no good intentions. Her malice is so strong that if you pay attention to her, you might get entangled by her instead.
It’s better not to pay attention to it.
Dad meant the same thing.
The old lady with a long neck was not very happy. She looked at them one by one, but nothing happened in the end.
All I can do is stand there honestly.
Because she found that there was no good person on the minibus.
Can't afford to offend.
The car drove for a while and then stopped.
"Dead Corner Square, is anyone getting off?"
There was no movement in the carriage.
"No one is getting off. Come on, get on the bus? We're going to the county town, the west gate, the guesthouse. Do you want to get on?"
The cashier waved to the outside.
Apparently there was a new passenger.
Soon, a person was pulled up by the toll collector.
As soon as this person got on the bus, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even Lin Mo took a look.
"Strange, there are actually living people?"
Lin Mo muttered.
He himself forgot that he is also a living person.
However, Lin Mo's death was near, and there was no trace of life left on his body. In addition, he was suppressed by the jade ring given by Yu Ning, so he looked no different from a dead person.
In the eyes of other passengers on the bus, he might still be a rather powerful ghost.
Dad just took a look and shook his head.
No matter who the other person is, if he doesn't have the skills, it will be difficult to get off the minibus alive.
The person who was dragged into the car in a daze was a young man.
He looks to be in his twenties.
This guy probably hasn't realized what's going on yet and is still mumbling.
"Why is this bus so shabby? Damn it! I must have gotten on a ghost bus. Maybe everyone on this bus died in a car accident. No, I have to get off quickly."
After saying that, get off the car.
The toll collector got angry and grabbed the other person by the collar.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Whose child is this? You are talking nonsense."
The guy who collects the fees started to criticize.
This is not the fault of the toll collector.
Lin Mo knew that the other party was obsessed with the car, and the other party didn't know that he was dead. In the eyes of this big brother, everything was normal. He chartered a car and went on the road, charging fees to make money, day after day, year after year.
Suddenly I heard people say that this bus was a ghost bus and that there was a car accident. Of course I refused to do it.
The young man was so scared that he almost peed his pants and begged to get off the bus.
The toll collector won’t let me.
But the car was not moving and was parked on the side of the road.
The evil spirit in the car also began to become restless.
It was obvious that something was about to happen.
Lin Mo was not afraid of anything else, but he was mainly afraid that the car would not follow the original route, and then he would not be able to reach his destination.
To get to that destination, you have to take this minibus.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Lin Mo glanced at his father, who nodded.
Lin Mo walked over and stuffed a piece of money into the cashier's pocket.
Then he pulled the young man up and explained a few words to the cashier.
The toll collector was a stubborn person. After he got the money and Lin Mo said a few nice words to him, he didn't pursue the matter.
But the other ghosts in the car would not abandon a living person like this.
The resentment, hatred and malice are all directed at the living.
You can understand it that way.
Why should you live while I die? Resentment arises.
Why are you alive and I am dead? I hate you.
Why should you live while I die? I am rushing to the top with malice.
At this moment, they all looked at me fiercely, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became complicated.
Lin Mo thought about pushing this man out of the car.
But that is no different from killing someone directly. There will definitely be a ghost in the car that will follow and kill and eat the person.
It would be better to lend a favor. It would only be a small effort for him, but it could save a life and a family. Thinking of this, he immediately felt noble.
The young man was pulled over and he wanted to resist, but his arms were no match for his thighs.
Most people can't match Lin Mo's strength.
Dealing with this young man is as easy as a bull bullying a hen.
The other party was really scared.
At this time, a ghost suddenly stood up and seemed to want to do something, but Lin Mo reached out and pushed the ghost back.
"Be honest!"
A ghost nearby grabbed the young man, grabbed one of his arms, and refused to let go.
Lin Mo frowned.
"let go!"
This is a warning.
If the other party doesn't appreciate the courtesy, Lin Mo will not be polite.
The ghost shuddered when Lin Mo looked at him, but he said stubbornly: "We are all in the same car, you can't eat alone."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding that Lin Mo wanted to eat alone.
"Yes, young man, you are full of youth and vigor, but can you eat this big person?"
"Yes, yes, everyone who sees it can have a share. Divide it. I want the heart and liver. It's tender and delicious."
"What do you want? This little darling is mine."
"Who do you think you are? If you don't agree, why don't we get off the car and practice?"
"I don't care. I want to eat his tongue. The tongue is the most delicious."
The ghosts in the minibus started chattering at this time.
Lin Mo reached out and touched the knife.
I touched nothing.
"I forgot, my knife is gone!"
This time when he went back, Lin Mo also forgot to ask the butcher for one.
There was no other choice but to hammer the brick out.
Flash.
Whoosh! A flame burst out.
"Shut the fuck up, everyone. I'm going to eat alone today. What's the matter? You guys are still planning to snatch it away, right? Believe it or not, I can beat you all to death by myself."
The momentum is rising.
Lin Mo fought his way out of a sea of blood and corpses, and climbed up step by step from the bottom. If he makes a mistake now, even evil spirits would tremble.
Anyway, all the ghosts in the car were suppressed.
It suddenly became quiet.
"Whoever talks too much will be punished." Lin Mo looked at every ghost viciously.
None of these ghosts dared to look him in the eye.
I cursed in my heart that I was eating alone and that my son would have no anus.
But I only dared to curse in my heart.
Lin Mo dragged the young man back to sit, and an evil ghost next to him tactfully gave up his seat.
I guess if nothing unexpected happens, they will all get off at the next stop.
It was scary in the car.
Dad was very satisfied with Lin Mo's reaction and performance.
"Xiao Mo, it's okay. You can handle it on your own now."
A face full of relief.
Lin Mo just said it was a small scene, and added that he had experienced bigger scenes than this one.
Just blow it anyway.
No tax.
As a result, the next stop was Lin Mo’s destination.
Xinghua Hotel!
get off.
The young man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy when Lin Mo dragged him out of the car.
Lin Mo explained, and the other party stood up half-believingly.
"Can I really leave?"
He asked.
Lin Mo nodded, and then told the other party not to get on any car in the future, otherwise he would not be so lucky next time.
The man nodded quickly and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the hotel in front of him.
He was stunned.
"Isn't this my home?"
