"Brother Mo, what you mean is that your classmate was infected with nightmares and was taken back by her family, but she committed suicide when her family wasn't paying attention?"
Lin Mo nodded.
"At present, that seems to be the case."
The fat man also knew that if he was infected with nightmares, he would directly enter the nightmare world after death in the real world.
The difference between them and living people is that they can never wake up in the real world.
"That's not right. If you want to commit suicide, why hang yourself? That's so uncomfortable. Wouldn't it be better to buy a bottle of sleeping pills and swallow them? Or jump off a building. Even though it's a little scary at the moment, the effect will be immediate and you won't have to suffer."
The fat man now raised his question.
In his opinion, hanging oneself would not kill someone immediately. It would take at least one or two minutes for consciousness to fade away and for the person to die. This was neither comfortable nor efficient.
"As for the motive and manner of death, it's useless for others to guess. It's better to find a chance to ask Mo Wenting in person." Lin Mo said at this time.
The fat guy understood immediately.
"Brother Mo, whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
Lin Mo told Fatty not to be in a hurry about entering the dream, but to stroll around Xigou Village first, demarcate the polluted area specifically, get a feel for the situation here, and then make plans.
The fat man said that made sense.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt something strange.
He looked up.
He just happened to see a woman looking at him from a window on the second floor of the Mo family's building.
Because of the distance and the darkness in the window, he couldn't see clearly, but Lin Mo could still recognize that the woman in the window seemed to be Mo Wenting.
Mo Wenting looked very similar to when he was checking the information, but at this moment, Mo Wenting looked more like the terrible one described by Liu Jia and Wang Xiaoli.
He was extremely thin, with messy hair, pale and bloodless skin and bulging eyes.
It meets most people's fantasies about sinister and evil ghosts in horror movies.
The fat man noticed Lin Mo's gaze at this time, raised his head and glanced at him, shuddered, and uttered "Fuck" out loud.
The next moment, Mo Wenting in the window stepped back and disappeared.
It is also possible that he is still hiding in the darkness, spying on the two people downstairs.
Although the sun was shining brightly, the fat man said he still felt cold.
"Brother Mo, wasn't that woman the one you showed me just now..."
"Yes, it should be her."
"But isn't Mo Wenting dead? She died five years ago. Is that a person or a ghost in the window? Didn't you say that there can't be ghosts in the real world? That person must be a human. But how can a dead person come back to life?"
Lin Mo nodded, then thought of something and murmured, "Who said that if you are dead, you can't be resurrected?"
He said this from the heart.
Because he himself actually died five years ago.
Dad said he had seen his own body, which was completely cold, but in the end, he came back to life after a night. If he could survive, why couldn't Mo Wenting?
"That is to say, what Mo Lianggu said about his daughter being fine is true!" Lin Mo pondered in his heart, because he saw it clearly just now, and the fat man also saw it, so this must be true.
Unless the Mo family has another daughter who looks exactly like Mo Wenting, such a bizarre thing would not be possible.
The fat guy had no idea what was going on at the moment. He was still pondering Lin Mo's words that once you die, you cannot be resurrected.
"Brother Mo, do you mean that Mo Wenting is not dead at all?"
The fat guy has a good imagination. What’s more, from a conspiracy theory perspective, this possibility does exist.
But it doesn't make sense.
Other people fake their deaths for some practical benefit, but there is no need for Mo Wenting to do so.
But Lin Mo didn't tell the fat man too much detail.
"So what should we do now? Should we rush in and get everything clear? I have weapons in my car. As long as you, Brother Mo, give the order, I, Fatty, will be the vanguard!"
The fat guy had an expression that said, "I have no problem fighting."
This is the same idea that Lin Mo had.
There were indeed a lot of controlled knives in the fat man's car, and Lin Mo also had a gun. If they wanted to use force, Mo Lianggu in the house would definitely not be able to stop them.
Originally, Lin Mo planned to wait and find out the situation first.
But now things have changed.
So, plans must also change.
Lin Mo took out his gun without saying a word. Seeing this, the fat man chuckled and pulled out a samurai sword from the car, saying that he bought it at a discount online. It was made of 100-layer steel, hardened and sharpened, and it was very impressive.
The gate was not closed, so Lin Mo and the fat man rushed in immediately.
A two-story building like this one built in the village usually has only one entrance and exit. Lin Mo pushed the door and walked in.
Mo Lianggu was talking to his wife in the room. When he saw Lin Mo and the fat man coming back, he was stunned at first, and then he was about to pick up a knife.
"Let's see who dares to move." The fat man glared and chopped the coffee table with a knife. It's no wonder that this reckless attitude really scared Mo Lianggu.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party saw the gun in Lin Mo's hand.
"Fatty, you stay on the first floor."
Lin Mo gave instructions and immediately rushed to the second floor.
There is only one exit here, and Mo Wenting on the second floor has no way to escape.
Of course, Lin Mo couldn’t be sure at the moment whether the woman was Mo Wenting, but no matter what, he had to subdue her first.
In the real world, the gun in your hand is the most powerful force.
After rushing up to the second floor in a few steps, Lin Mo saw a room at a glance. There were many stickers on the door of the room, and there was a very old class schedule.
It should be from junior high school.
Obviously, this room belongs to Mo Wenting.
Lin Mo first looked at the other rooms. Their doors were open, but no one was inside. And it was not the room with the window that Lin Mo saw below.
All that was left was this room with its door closed.
Can’t open it?
Locked.
But this did not pose a problem for Lin Mo. He was very skilled in violent unlocking. He pushed hard and the door opened with a click.
It can be seen from inside that it is a girl's room.
Thick curtains were hung.
In addition to a bed and a study table, there is also a shabby bookcase.
There are some old stuffed toys on the bed, and the wall in front of the study desk is covered with various award certificates.
Judging from the name of the certificate, this is Mo Wenting's room.
Or rather, it used to be her room.
There was no one in the room.
Lin Mo looked around, walked to the window, opened the thick curtains a little and looked out.
Light comes in from outside.
“It’s right here!”
Lin Mo was certain that the 'Mo Wenting' that he and Fatty had seen on the first floor just now appeared in this window. There was no mistake about the angle and the style of the curtains.
But it is certain that there is no one in this room.
Lin Mo did not relax his vigilance at this moment, because no one could be sure that there were no Tibetans in the house.
He began to investigate carefully.
Not in the closet, not anywhere else.
The room wasn’t big, and in fact could be seen in one glance, so there really wasn’t any place to hide.
This made Lin Mo fall into deep thought.
Was what he saw just now a person or an illusion?
It obviously couldn't be an illusion.
Because the fat guy also saw it, it is impossible for both of them to have hallucinations at the same time.
There must have been someone here just now, but they just left.
At this time, Lin Mo noticed a small notebook on the study table.
It is a very ordinary exercise book with a blue cover and white paper inside, used for recording and doing calculations. When I was in school, everyone had to buy several of them. Sometimes, if I learned a lot, I could finish one in a week.
Lin Mo walked over, picked it up and opened it to take a look.
Just one glance made his heart excited.
Except for the first two pages which were math problems, the rest of the pages were mazes drawn with oil pens. Although Lin Mo had heard about Mo Wenting's notebook from Liu Jia and Wang Xiaoli, he was still shocked when he actually saw it.
The style of painting is simply a little crazy.
Except for the lines and grids of the maze, the rest of the place was covered with oil pen, and it was the kind of large-line graffiti, which had an inexplicable weirdness.
Before, both Liu Jia and Wang Xiaoli had only glanced at it and did not look carefully at the contents of the book. Now, Lin Mo looked at it carefully.
In addition to the maze, there are many ghosts drawn on it with lines.
As for why Lin Mo could tell it was a ghost at first glance, it was mainly because the image was too vivid.
The ferocious expression and the non-human appearance are something that anyone with eyes can tell.
Lin Mo simply flipped through the pages and found that the last few dozen pages were all mazes, but they actually did not look the same. They should be "maps" of different areas.
There is no doubt that this is Mo Wenting's little notebook.
What Lin Mo didn't expect was that it was so easy to find. What he didn't expect was that the book was actually placed in the open, as if it was waiting for him to take it.
This matter is getting more and more weird.
Lin Mo is a man with many thoughts in his mind. He couldn't help but wonder if he had fallen into a trap.
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
Just as he and Fatty were about to leave, a figure who looked like Mo Wenting appeared on the second floor and led him to the second floor. Then, he naturally found the small notebook that he listed as one of the three keys.
It went so smoothly.
It was so smooth that it seemed unreal.
According to Lin Mo's original idea, if he wanted to get this little notebook, he would have to go through many difficulties and rely on clues to finally find the clues. He would have to go through many hardships before he could achieve his wish.
But who would have thought that the fat man had got the things in less than an hour after parking the car.
Could it be that someone wants me to find this notebook as soon as possible?
In addition, Lin Mo suddenly remembered something.
He searched most of the house, but there was one place he missed.
This place is under the bed.
"But that's impossible. Who would hide in a place that is so easy to think of?"
Lin Mo muttered, squatted down and looked down.
Suddenly, he saw something under the bed.
It was an old, worn-out suitcase.
Lin Mo had a preset goal for the worn-out suitcase, which was also one of the three key points in the Mo Wenting incident.
So when Lin Mo saw the worn-out suitcase under the bed, he immediately thought of the suitcase that Wang Xiaoli mentioned that Mo Wenting had brought to school.
"It can't be such a coincidence that I can kill two birds with one stone today and have double happiness?" Lin Mo walked under the bed and reached for the worn suitcase.
At this moment, a shrill scream came from the fat man downstairs.
