Lin Mo was busy during the days of waiting for the paper crane. He thought that if a small paper crane could fly, then if he folded a big paper crane, wouldn't it be able to take him flying with it?

Just thinking about that scene makes me feel excited and thrilled.

Isn't this a private plane? But the big paper crane needs more and bigger paper. Lin Mo thought about it and found that this approach seemed wrong.

"The paper crane can change on its own. I have to make it grow to that size, not fold it that big."

Lin Mo tried several times, but the results were not satisfactory.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Lin Mo asked who it was, and the fat man's voice came from outside the door.

This guy has been very busy lately, so Lin Mo gave him the job of patrolling everywhere. The fat man worked very hard and he didn't notice what this guy was busy with these days.

The door opened and the fat man walked in.

"Brother Lin, are you busy?" The fat man was very familiar with Lin Mo, so he didn't hesitate to come in and find a place to sit.

Following the fat man in came a ghost.

This ghost was the one that Lin Mo brought back from the ancient county town.

After coming back, the other party somehow followed the fat man.

Lin Mo didn't know why either.

But just follow him, it can also help the fat guy build up his courage.

At first, the fat man was not happy and had a sad face. Lin Mo told him, "I can't do anything. This ghost has a strong personality and is a hedgehog. You can't hit it. You can scold it, but it won't talk back. What's the point of scolding it? As long as you don't hit it, then this ghost is harmless."

The fat man had no choice but to accept it.

He had no choice but to accept it. The ghost was a stubborn donkey. It would follow whoever he was told to follow, and no one, even the Lord, could stop it.

Later, I don’t know what came to his mind, but the fat guy actually liked it.

Lin Mo thought about it and roughly guessed what the fat man was thinking.

It's just for showing off.

Just imagine that you are out for a walk in a nightmare world, and there is a scary ghost following you, while the fat guy is nonchalant and says that this is his subordinate and bodyguard.

How cool is that?

How face-saving?

Lin Mo had often used this shameless trick before, and the fat guy had learned the true skills from it.

Generally speaking, when encountering an ordinary nightmare, the terrifying aura of the ghost behind you is enough to scare the other party.

The same goes for meeting people.

So the fat guy went from not accepting it at first, to liking it later, and finally becoming unable to leave it. The transformation was so smooth.

Lin Mo asked the fat man if there was anything wrong.

"Nothing much, I just came to take a look and ask you a question." The fat man seemed nonchalant, but Lin Mo knew him. If there was nothing wrong, he would definitely not come over and knock on the door.

"What do you want to ask?" Lin Mo asked him.

"That's right, this ghost, do you think there will come a day when it no longer likes me and will leave me?"

The fat man's expression at this moment was like a man in love, asking others whether his girlfriend would betray him.

"How would I know? It didn't even inform me when it left me and went with you that day." Lin Mo smiled. He could see that the fat man was addicted.

There are so many benefits to having such a powerful, eerie, yet harmless ghost following you.

The fat man had tasted the sweetness of the ghost and began to worry about the consequences. He was afraid that one day the ghost would get tired of him and abandon him, so he came to ask.

But just like Lin Mo said, he didn't understand this matter and couldn't help.

The fat man was obviously a little flustered.

"This guy doesn't talk, and I don't know what he likes."

Lin Mo didn't have time to chat about these things with the fat man, he still had to study the art of making paper figures.

The large paper crane was just an immature idea of ​​his. It didn't matter if it didn't succeed. Even if the paper crane technique had been successfully experimented with before, it actually didn't help in improving combat power.

What Lin Mo wants now is the 'knife'.

A sharp knife.

A sword that can kill all enemies and is invincible.

He has made many paper figures for this purpose.

All over the house, everywhere.

The fat man also noticed it now. There were more than a dozen of them on the table and on the chairs next to it.

"Damn it, Brother Lin, your room is a little weird. Why do I feel like these little paper people are staring at me?" the fat man said at this time.

The houses in the nightmare world are all a little dark and have an evil quality.

The same goes for Lin Mo's room.

It seems that there is a cold wind that inadvertently touches your heartstrings. When you look for the source of the wind, you can't find any trace, which makes you feel fear and uneasiness.

This is how Fatty feels now.

Lin Mo was sitting on the ground, fiddling with a paper man in his hand. After thinking for a while, he picked up another paper man from the side and put the two paper men together.

"It's your illusion, I don't think so." Lin Mo didn't even raise his head. He suddenly had an inspiration and wondered if some strange reaction would occur if he connected several paper figures together.

This is very worth looking forward to.

So now Lin Mo has no time to deal with the fat man. He is concentrating on his research, and no one can distract him when inspiration strikes.

When the fat man saw that there was no point in staying here, he said, "Brother Lin, you go ahead and do your work. Ghost and I will leave first."

Lin Mo said you can go by yourself and I won’t see you off.

"Remember to close the door for me."

"Okay."

The fat man and the ghost went out and closed the door.

"Brother Lin is busy too, but his whole room is filled with little paper dolls, which is creepy. Doesn't he feel scary at all?" the fat man muttered.

The fat man who walked out didn't notice at all that a small paper man had appeared under his butt at some point.

Outside is the internal road of the ancient county town of Xiyan City.

It is said that renovation has already begun here, and some useless buildings have been renovated, but all this work is done in the real world.

The fat man has asked someone to buy several houses here.

Half of these houses were bought by him for Lin Mo.

The fat man’s financial management idea is that he wants to get some real estate in safe zones in various places.

Even if it's a little more expensive, it doesn't matter.

This is called investing.

In Fatty's opinion, large-scale safe zones will definitely be the most important gathering places in the future, even if they are only effective in the nightmare world. But he is very clear that as time goes by, people in the real world will live and study closer to the safe zones.

This is an inevitable law.

At present, ordinary people have nowhere to buy properties and qualifications in similar safe zones, but in the future, it will most likely be relaxed. For example, safe zones can accommodate people to take refuge.

That's fine.

Free of charge.

This is what the authorities should do.

But even in the safe zone, there is a distinction between comfort and discomfort. Some people can sit comfortably in the house, while others can only stroll outside or sit on the floor.

At this moment, the streets inside the ancient county town are already crowded with people, and it is only a little after nine o'clock in the evening. If it is in the early morning, there will be even more people here.

The fat man put his hands behind his back, walked with a swung step, and walked out with an arrogant attitude.

But no one dared to intervene, and everyone avoided him.

Because there was a ghost following the fat man.

Previously, because of the fat man wandering around, there was a riot in the ancient county town. It was because everyone saw a ghost, screamed in fear and ran away.

This incident even alarmed Lin Mo and the mayor of Xiyan City.

Some people feel that nightmares should not be allowed to walk in safe zones.

This will scare people.

But some people think, what era is this?

The nightmare is over, why be so pretentious? You must adapt to what you need to adapt to, and never indulge certain people anymore.

There was quite a heated debate on this matter, and there was no consensus. In the end, Lin Mo expressed his opinion.

His opinion was clear.

Allows Controllable Nightmares to make appearances.

The reason is simple.

Times have changed.

He suggested that elementary schools should be taught more about nightmares. Some adults are too sensitive and still want to live in the old-fashioned way. How can they adapt to the new era? There are nightmares everywhere. How can we avoid them? If we don’t teach and adapt to controllable nightmares, do we have to find those uncontrollable nightmares? In a word, this matter was finalized.

Of course some people would not accept this, but Lin Mo didn't care.

This matter is also the guideline of the General Administration, but it was not decided by Lin Mo. At this critical moment, the local authorities have nothing to say and must obey.

Therefore, with the implementation and publicity from top to bottom, there will be no more disturbances like before when Fatty goes out again. Of course, all controllable nightmares in the safe zone must be registered and filed.

This is also to be on the safe side, as any unrecorded nightmares will be cleared by the security team.

These are rules and policies that did not exist in the past.

When it first came out, many people were not used to it.

But if they really adapt, it is also quite fast. In just a few days, the people in the safe zone have already adapted. New departments have been established one by one, and new industries have also emerged in the context of the nightmare world.

Times are changing and society is transforming.

At this moment, the fat man strolled to the outside of the ancient county town and successfully walked out of the city gate. Looking out, it was dark and he could not see anything.

But the fat man knew that from here straight out, three kilometers deep, the workers in the real world were building a separation wall with simple partitions.

Although it is called a simple isolation board, it is actually a sturdy steel plate with a height of four and a half meters. It surrounds the city in a circle with a radius of three kilometers from the city wall of the ancient county town.

It is said that the construction is not difficult because there are houses around. We only need to use the houses to block the houses and the streets to form a closed isolation loop.

Because the ancient county town is so small that it can't accommodate many people.

The isolation ring constructed is called the inner ring.

In the future, it will be expanded outward by ten kilometers and an outer ring road will be built.

In this way, the inner ring and the outer ring can easily accommodate a million people.

This was not Xiyan City’s idea, but was arranged by the General Administration.

This is called preparing for a rainy day, because no one knows what the situation will be like in the future. Anyway, as of now, in all likelihood, the situation will be worse.

There were also many people outside the ancient county town, and the fat man passed by a park.

This park also has a corresponding reference in the real world. It is a real park with beautiful scenery and an inner lake. The rubber running track around the lake was once a hot spot here, and people often came here to run.

At this moment, the fat man was strolling around the inner lake and accidentally sprained his ankle.

Almost fell into the lake.

“That was a close call!” The fat man was startled. He looked at the lake, which was full of debris, but he could vaguely see his own reflection.

There was someone called Fatty over there, an acquaintance, so Fatty went over.

But he didn't notice that his reflection in the lake didn't move.

The reason was that a small paper man had also fallen onto the lake and suppressed the fat man's projection.

At this time, black smoke emanated from the little paper man, and then it puffed and actually burned, and then slowly sank into the lake.

As a result, the fat man's shadow also blurred and disappeared at this time.

But soon, bubbles began to emerge from the calm and turbid surface of the lake.

And the blisters are increasing.

People around noticed the abnormality on the lake and came closer to take a look. As time went by, more and more people came over to watch the fun.

"What's going on with this lake?"

“I don’t know.”

"Could it be that there is a ghost?"

Many people simply regard nightmares as ghosts, which is obviously wrong. If they have systematically studied the types of nightmares, they will know that ghosts are just one of the many types of nightmares.

Moreover, the category of ghosts itself is divided into many types.

Slowly, the lake calmed down. A brave man came closer to take a closer look. Suddenly, he saw a face under the lake staring at him.

The pair of eyes beneath the lake revealed a frightening coldness.

The man immediately let out a piercing scream.

The security team arrived quickly.

The team was led by a senior member of the Xiyan City Branch's action team.

The current security brigade is divided into three squadrons and fifteen teams.

There's no way. The place is too big and it won't work with too few people.

The team members are all selected elite soldiers and have received special training. The General Administration has previously transported a batch of weapons projected from the real world.

Firearms, knives.

For now, these things can only be used as weapons for the security team.

"Preliminary judgment is that it should be an unregistered nightmare. According to witnesses, this nightmare is hidden in the lake." A team member questioned several witnesses and reported to the captain of the security team.

The latter frowned.

"It shouldn't be like this. We've explored this place before, and there should be nothing in the lake." The captain said, but they were still very rigorous in their work.

Immediately disperse the people around the lake and call for reinforcements.

But the area of ​​this inner lake is not small, and if you want to fully control it, you have to call all fifteen teams over.

But other places also needed manpower, so in the end only two teams were called, with a total of fifteen people.

"Prepare your weapons!"

"How many nightmares do you have?"

"There is only one, Huang Hao from Team Two, he has a controllable nightmare."

"Where's Huang Hao?"

A team member came over, followed by a dog. The dog had fangs in its mouth and exuded a terrifying yin aura. Just looking at it made people shudder.

"Huang Hao, prepare your nightmare."

"Okay." Huang Hao is a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face and a weathered look.

He was selected for the safety team because of this nightmare dog.

"Beibei, be good. Beibei, listen to me. I'll tell you to bite whoever you want to bite. Do you hear me? Don't bite anyone randomly."

Huang Hao started communicating with the nightmare dog Beibei.

It is said that this was Huang Hao's former pet dog, a female Labrador, who died accidentally due to his negligence.

Huang Hao felt extremely guilty about this. No one would have thought that his fear due to the nightmare would bring the pet dog back again.

What is even more unexpected is that even though this pet dog has become a nightmare, it still remembers its owner.

"Report, ready." Huang Hao said.

"Okay, put out the bait."

At the command, a team member took out a sealed bag, tore it open, and threw a mass of flesh and blood emitting a strange fragrance onto the shore.

This is the 'nightmare bait' developed by the General Administration's Science Academy. It is used when it is necessary to lure out some nightmares.

When the bait appeared, Beibei, the nightmare dog beside Huang Hao, couldn't help it and rushed over to eat the piece of meat.
