Lin Mo is very strong, and with the blessing of the curse, ordinary ghosts and monsters can't defeat him.

A big man is pressing down a ghost. This scene must be very gorgeous. Unfortunately, no one can see it. This is the case in the dark dimension. This is a world without light.

Can only rely on touch.

Because he was not afraid of being seen, Lin Mo did not feel embarrassed at all.

At this moment, the cold corpse beneath him began to tremble.

Maybe it's fear.

I feel like Lin Mo will do something terrible to it.

Lin Mo changed his posture, stood up, pressed the other person's neck with one hand, and lowered his head and said, "I told you not to be afraid. Why are you shaking so hard? Can you understand what I say? If you can, reach out and pat me. If you can't, don't pat me."

First of all, you have to make sure whether the corpse can speak. If it is a brainless monster that cannot speak, then there is no need to keep it and just kill it.

If they could communicate, Lin Mo planned to find out some things.

For example, what is this place?

For example, how to get out.

After waiting for a while, the other party reached out and patted Lin Mo's arm twice.

Good luck.

Meet someone you can communicate with.

Lin Mo asked it if it could speak.

Then, a gurgling sound was heard from the corpse's throat. It was probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time and had become rusty. After a while, the sound was heard from the other party's throat.

"No, don't eat me!"

Lin Mo understood.

Just make the volume a little lower and listen from closer.

Lin Mo knew about ghosts eating ghosts. He had heard it more than once when he was in the ghost town. Moreover, every time Xiaoyu transformed, it was because she swallowed the ghosts that could cause her transformation.

If nightmares and ghosts are regarded as creatures of the dark world, then devouring each other is a way for them to "evolve" and survive.

Animals in nature, including humans, need to eat to survive; the same is true for creatures in the dark world.

This is a special ecosystem, a way of survival, which may contain some disciplines and theories that can be explored, but Lin Mo is not a biologist, so this is not what he cares about.

"Don't worry, I'm a very picky eater. I won't eat stuff like you." Lin Mo transformed himself into a terrifying ghost king-level being.

Sure enough, after saying this, the other party seemed to be relieved.

"Then why did you arrest me?" This was the second sentence the other party said.

This sentence was clearer than the previous one, but the voice was still small, hoarse, and the tone was inaccurate. Lin Mo listened carefully and analyzed it before he understood what the other party meant.

"I want to ask you something." Lin Mo didn't intend to beat around the bush. It was his character to speak directly when he had something to say: "Where is this place?"

The corpse might not have expected Lin Mo to ask such a question.

It paused for three or five seconds before making a hoarse sound.

"maze!"

The communication with the corpse was not smooth. After all, it was not a human being, and its speaking ability was about the same as that of a two-year-old child. No matter how stumbling and falling, Lin Mo roughly figured out what was going on.

This dark place is called the 'maze'.

Since it is a maze, it is of course difficult to get out. Let's call this corpse the streaker.

The name was chosen by Lin Mo without asking for the other party's opinion.

Who told it not to wear clothes?

The naked man said that he had been trapped here for a long time and was very desperate and scared. There was no hope at all. In short, all the negative emotions could be heard from his words.

Lin Mo said, "Since you are so desperate, so scared, and have no hope, why don't you just die?" The naked man remained silent.

Lin Mo felt that he was asking the right question.

If he was really desperate, then when he was pinned down by me just now, he would not have said "Don't eat me", but would have said "Eat me".

You see, the difference of one word can lead to a world of difference in meaning.

Maybe because Lin Mo exposed his true intentions and he felt a little embarrassed, the naked man remained silent for a long time.

Lin Mo didn't have the time to waste with it, so he slapped it in the face. Now, the naked man started talking again.

It said it was not afraid of death because it was already dead.

"I do feel despair, fear and helplessness are tormenting me all the time. I can completely perish, but before I completely perish, I still have to do one thing."

"What's the matter?" Lin Mo asked.

"I seem to have forgotten something very important. This thing is more important than my life. I must remember it. And I know that this memory is hidden in the maze. I have to find it. If I don't find it, I don't want to die completely."

The streaking man said this very seriously.

Even the pronunciation is much more standard than before.

From this point of view, the other party does not seem to be lying, and why does this situation of the other party feel so familiar?

Isn't this my situation?

Very similar.

They have all lost some of their memories and can't remember them no matter how hard they try.

The streaking man said that his own memories were hidden somewhere in this maze, so where are his own memories?

Lin Mo thought a lot at this moment.

The events of the past were related to Mo Wenting. In fact, the memories that I had lost were not only from Liu Jia, but also partly related to Mo Wenting.

And Mo Wenting is related to this maze.

Could it be that my memories are also hidden here?

At first, you may think this idea is a bit illogical. Operation Pegasus is a whimsical idea. But if you carefully break down and sort out the things that are happening now, you will find that it is not impossible.

The key is to first figure out what this maze is all about.

Unfortunately, the naked man could not give Lin Mo any answer to this question.

"So, you have been wandering and searching in this maze, but found nothing?" Lin Mo asked the naked man at this time.

The latter said yes.

"But I must keep searching, this is the meaning of my existence!"

The words of the streaking man are actually a bit philosophical. If you think about it carefully, the tone can be raised to a higher level. Perhaps some literary young people will like this tone.

Lin Mo disagreed.

But there was no rebuttal.

It's that feeling where you know something is wrong but you just can't put your finger on it.

It was a long time later that Lin Mo thought of a word to answer the doubts in his mind at that time.

That is the theory of Buddhism.

lay down!

It's like there's no end to the sea of ​​suffering, only turning back can save the day.

There is a sense of Zen in it.

But even if Lin Mo remembered these words and told them to the naked man, the other party would most likely not listen.

Most people in this world are suffering without knowing it.

Including Lin Mo himself.

Lin Mo said, since you didn’t find what you wanted, you should have found something else. After all, you have been wandering here for so long, and it is impossible that you have never seen a pig run even if you haven’t eaten pork.

The naked man asked Lin Mo, "What do you mean by these words? I don't understand."

Lin Mo asked him if the maze had always been this dark, and the streaking man said yes.

Lin Mo thought about it and suddenly shook the brick hammer.

The next moment, light appeared.

Lin Mo's hands were empty.

The naked man disappeared, and the area around the light was still empty, as if endless, a world with no end but also no exit.

Lin Mo understood a little.

If this was the maze that Mo Wenting had drawn in her notebook before, then Lin Mo had found out why she had painted the surroundings so dark.

Because this maze only exists in the dark dimension.

If you look further, as long as there is light, you cannot leave the maze, and the only way to leave the maze is to follow the rules of the game here.

That is to say, groping in absolute darkness for a way out.

The worst part is, it's a maze.

For some people who have poor directions, they can't find the way out even with a 150-watt light bulb, let alone in absolute darkness. There is no way to remember the way at all.

So in the end, nine times out of ten you will end up just like the streaker, constantly groping in this maze of despair and terror, over and over again, endlessly.

Even if you have a light source, it's useless.

As long as there is a light source, you will escape from the real 'maze'.

Just like before, Lin Mo was clearly holding down the naked man, but when the fire lit up, the man disappeared.

In fact, it’s not that the other party disappeared.

Instead, he disappeared into that dark maze.

Lin Mo slowly sorted things out. From being completely clueless and blind at the beginning, he now at least knew the general situation and some of the rules within the maze.

And since it is a maze, there must be an exit.

It’s just that it’s quite difficult to find the exit in absolute darkness.

In addition, the characteristic of light source separation made Lin Mo think of another use of it, which is to escape from absolute danger.

This is undoubtedly a very effective way to save lives.

In absolute danger, you can escape danger by lighting the fire.

This is great.

It can obviously give people a strong sense of security.

Coupled with Lin Mo's fearlessness and his status as an advanced game player, he had the confidence to conquer the dark maze.

Blow out the flame.

Lin Mo fell into darkness again.

He felt around but found nothing. He called out softly but got no response.

It looks like the streaker ran away.

This is normal. If I were in your place, I would run away too. Who would be so stupid as to wait here?

However, for Lin Mo, he had already learned everything he needed to know from the streaking man, so there was not much point for him to stay.

Now all Lin Mo can do is continue to explore the surroundings.

He lowered his body, maintaining a posture that allowed him to react immediately to danger, then stretched out his hand and probed forward.

Try not to make any footsteps.

Because in an absolutely dark environment, vision is infinitely compressed, and hearing becomes the best perception ability at this time.

If the footsteps are loud, they can easily be heard by other things.

As the streaking man said before, there are a lot of monsters in this unknown dark maze. Some of them are very dangerous and the possible outcome of encountering them is death.

Lin Mo will not underestimate himself, but he will not be too arrogant either.

His fingers probed forward, and the next moment, he touched the wall.

I touched it again and found that it was indeed a wall. It felt gritty, hard and cold, just like the wall of a dark basement. I could even feel a peculiar dampness.

Lin Mo was leaning against the wall at this moment.

Because he couldn't see anything, he couldn't even imagine the general appearance of the maze in his mind.

At this moment he suddenly remembered something.

Mo Wenting’s little notebook.

The maze she drew crazily five years ago, could it be here? This possibility is very high, and more importantly, the maze that Mo Wenting drew is very clear and definite.

Although it is complicated, there is a way out.

Lin Mo had read that little notebook before.

I have an impression, but it is impossible to remember all the details. Fortunately, Lin Mo has a good memory. Now I recall it carefully to deepen this impression.

It might produce unexpected results.

First, Mo Wenting drew almost an entire book of maze diagrams.

Well, if it was the same maze, she wouldn't have to draw it so many times. In fact, Lin Mo could see that the maze patterns on each piece of paper were different.

Lin Mo was not serious enough to carefully analyze the maze structure on each piece of paper. He did not have that much time at the time. In fact, Lin Mo simply looked at the overall structure.

The overall structure of each page of Mo Wenting's painting is circular.

If Mo Wenting drew the map of the dark maze, then from this point we can see that the structure of the maze is circular and divided into many layers.

It's like a burger with many layers.

Stacked up and down.

Since it is a circle, it has a central axis.

Lin Mo remembered that Mo Wenting used a special method to express the central axis position in the picture.

It's jagged.

Every page is the same.

Does this mean that the wall over there has spikes? At least it is different from the normal wall pattern.

In other words, as long as you touch the specific spiked wall, it means that you have found the central axis of this level of the maze, that is, the center position.

And the exit is right in the center.

At least that was the case with the pictures that Lin Mo looked at.

Although Mo Wenting spent dozens of pages on it and Lin Mo did not finish reading it all, it is a bold guess that the others should be similar and have the same structure.

This conclusion obviously cheered up Lin Mo.

Because this matter is of extraordinary significance.

If you have no idea about the structure of the maze and just walk around randomly, you will end up like a headless fly. Whether you can find the exit depends entirely on luck.

The probability is perhaps only one in a few million.

Just like buying lottery tickets today.

If you want to get out (want to win the lottery), don’t even think about it.

But if you know approximately where the exit is, then it will be different. One is like a headless fly, the other is searching with a purpose, so the results will certainly be different.

Lin Mo immediately began to feel around and then slowly walked forward.

He was moving along the wall.

Just like a mouse in the dark, this is best so as not to get lost.

While groping, Lin Mo would occasionally touch something on the wall.

Sometimes, there may be some marks of varying depths, as if they were forcibly cut by something; sometimes, there may be some sticky liquid with a pungent smell.

Lin Mo felt that these should be some kind of signs.

It means something has been here before.

No matter what it is, it obviously wants to rely on these marks to mark that they have been here. There should be only one purpose, which is to escape from this place.

The naked man said that there were a lot of people in this place, and it seems that he was not lying.

Because just now, Lin Mo heard a very subtle sound of footsteps coming from not far away.

Although I can't see it, I can tell from the subtle footsteps that the other person should be extremely cautious, perhaps walking by feeling the wall on the other side.

Lin Mo didn’t know whether the other party heard him or not. It was possible that he did, because the moment he approached, the other party’s footsteps stopped for a few seconds.

It was eerily quiet for those few seconds.

Perhaps it was because neither side made any move, or perhaps this was an unspoken rule known to everyone in the dark maze. In short, no one launched an attack.

Doubt, test, and wait.

In the end, everything was peaceful and they left.

They didn't know what each other looked like. They might be acquaintances or friends, but at this moment, no one could see each other. Perhaps this encounter was one of countless encounters in the future, or perhaps, there would never be a possibility of meeting again.

Lin Mo felt that this dark maze took the unknown to its extreme.

Although he was thinking and sighing, Lin Mo still kept his pace and slowly groped forward along the wall. There was a corner in front of him. Lin Mo thought about it and continued to walk along the wall to the left.

Although he had read Mo Wenting's notebook before and had a general idea of ​​the structure of the maze, the passages inside were extremely complicated. Even if he studied it carefully, he might not be able to remember it, not to mention that Lin Mo had only taken a casual glance at it before.

If he had known this earlier, he would definitely have written it down carefully.

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly heard a scream.

Lin Mo stopped immediately.

He subconsciously wanted to use a brick hammer to shake it to check, but thinking of the characteristics of the dark maze, he held back.

Here, light can only allow people to temporarily escape from the dark maze, but at the moment, this is useless.

Judging from the sound, it is not far ahead, maybe only about ten meters away, but because it is dark and there is no vision, this feeling may not be accurate.

The screaming lasted for a few seconds and then stopped abruptly.

The surroundings fell into silence again.

Lin Mo guessed that it must be something in the maze that hunted another thing, and it might be an accidental contact that triggered the fight.

The inevitable result is one side dies and the other side wins.

Lin Mo was not interested in this kind of thing at first, but the screams he heard sounded a bit like a naked man running.

After a while, Lin Mo slowly moved forward.

He was not afraid of fighting with other monsters. Lin Mo had never been afraid of anyone when it came to fighting. The main reason was that he couldn't see anything, so even if he was confident, he still had to be careful.

After walking along the wall for a dozen steps, Lin Mo smelled a foul odor.

That was the smell of dirty blood after a corpse was broken into pieces.

Lin Mo had heard of this before.

He squatted down and touched the ground.

I felt blood.

Continuing forward, I touched the stumps of limbs and arms.

There were only a few limbs left, as if most of the body had been eaten by something. Fortunately, Lin Mo touched the head.

From the protruding mouth and the familiar feel of the crew cut, Lin Mo was almost certain that the person being dismembered on the ground was the naked man.

The streaking man actually has a name.

It told Lin Mo that its name was Tan Tao, and this was the only thing it could remember. This guy searched in the maze for an unknown period of time, saying that he wanted to find its most precious memory.

Unfortunately, he was killed by another evil ghost.

Lin Mo continued to touch, trying to see what else he could touch.

The next moment, he felt a hand on the ground.

It was thick and cold, and the other party immediately reached up and grabbed Lin Mo's wrist.

Then a huge force pulled Lin Mo over.

Even Lin Mo couldn't resist this kind of power. The next moment, it felt like a huge mouth biting Lin Mo's shoulder.

“Oh my god!”

Lin Mo cursed in his heart. The attack came so suddenly that he almost subconsciously used the Iron Curse.

Not only the Iron Curse, but other curses can also be used together through physical contact.

In this situation, no matter what the other party is, it has bad intentions. Lin Mo can even be sure that the thing that attacked him is the monster that killed the naked running man Tan Tao.

The Iron Curse can prevent Lin Mo's body from being easily bitten open by the opponent, and the subsequent curse is enough to cause a certain degree of damage to the opponent.

If you are lucky, you can kill the enemy instantly.

But Lin Mo will not rely on luck.

When he takes action, he always seeks to be cautious.

This pursuit of stability means a saturation attack.

There was no need to use a brick hammer, so Lin Mo just used his hands.

Under the iron curse, his fingers were as hard as steel bars. He clenched his fists and punched forward.

No matter what you hit, keep attacking.

Find the opponent's weaknesses during the attack.

For example, eyes, throat, etc.

Then change your fists to fingers and poke him.

Keep stabbing!

Normally, after Lin Mo's axe attacks, ordinary enemies would kneel down. But this time, the enemy was obviously not ordinary. Without saying a word, the enemy hit Lin Mo's lower abdomen.

Phew!

It's a knife.

Pierced! Lin Mo was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. He cursed, "Fuck you!"

Then he held the other person's head and smashed it to the ground.

Just like smashing a watermelon.

While hitting the target, he muttered in his heart, what kind of knife did the other party use that could actually pierce the steel curse?
