The place Lin Mo was going to was Guimen Village.

The place where he was was relatively close to Guimen Village, and since he was already here, how could he not go back and take a look? After all, Lin Mo was the village chief of Guimen Village.

Thinking back, the last time I dealt with the Guimen Village incident was a few months ago, but it feels like a long time ago.

Drive there.

Because Guimen Village was recorded as a "dangerous place" in the archives, a special sentry post was set up on the outskirts to monitor the situation in Guimen Village.

Occasionally, experts from the General Administration who are stationed here will come into the village to investigate the situation.

Of course, except for special experts, anyone who wants to enter Guimen Village will be nervous and trembling with fear.

There's no way, this village is too scary.

Not to mention that there is not a single living person, there are all kinds of horrible evil spirits and ghosts everywhere. Anyway, going there is a great test of one's courage.

Therefore, generally speaking, unless there is something important, the staff from the General Administration stationed outside the village will not go in.

Although they are terrifying, the many ghosts and nightmares in Guimen Village are very well-behaved. They will never step out of the village, nor will they attack the expert team members from the General Administration who come to investigate.

Threatening is a common occurrence.

But this kind of thing will not endanger your life.

So over time, the sentry at Guimen Village began to transition from senior expert group members to half senior experts and half new experts, and even some reserve experts came to gain experience.

The so-called experience is to train your courage.

Guimen Village is an excellent location. It is scary, but there is no real danger. If it were not for the approval from above, some senior experts would like to build this place into a training base.

Today, a group of new and reserve experts came to gain experience and were about to enter the village to broaden their horizons.

The pre-training meeting was held in a real-world conference room.

A number of temporary buildings have been built outside Guimen Village, including not only wooden houses but also several dark green marching tents.

Electricity and communications were repaired several months ago, and it is no exaggeration to say that this place is a base.

"Okay, is everyone clear about the rules and precautions?" said a senior expert on the stage.

Below, more than 30 new and candidate experts all replied in unison: "Understood!"

"Well, go to your respective dormitories and fall asleep. Gather at the gate in five minutes and enter Guimen Village."

"yes!"

Many new and prospective experts are excited.

They were all the best selected from among the numerous candidates in Qianlong City, and a saying had long been circulating in their circle.

To see whether you are an elite among experts, it depends on whether you have the opportunity to go to Guimen Village for training.

Only those who can go are talents valued by the higher-ups.

So at this moment, they only have anticipation and pride in their hearts.

Of course some people were nervous.

After all, Guimen Village is very close to Qianlong City, and some of the horrific incidents that happened here have been spread out to some extent. After some people added fuel to the fire, it is inevitable that this place will be described as extremely weird.

If someone has never been here, after being exposed to so many rumors, they will always have their own fantasies about this mysterious place.

When someone is nervous, there are bound to be people who don't take it seriously.

And there are many people who disagree.

These thirty people gathered in the dream with various feelings, and then followed the three senior experts into the territory of Guimen Village.

Not long after they left, Lin Mo drove up.

He came to Guimen Village simply to reminisce with old friends and to see his cheap godson. If possible, he would take the ghost baby away.

The reason is simple. After experiencing some of the previous events, Lin Mo urgently needs to improve his combat effectiveness.

Studying the art of making paper figures is just one of his ways to improve his own strength.

After that, he had to complete the curse sequence on his own yellow paper.

But that alone is not enough.

External forces also need to be strengthened.

Xiaoyu is undergoing her fourth transformation. After waking up, her strength will surely be improved. Moreover, Lin Mo has also brought Sister Yue out this time. If possible, Lin Mo hopes to keep her abducted for a while longer.

But Sister Yue has a strong personality and is not very obedient.

When it comes to obedience, children are of course the most obedient.

So Lin Mo thought of the ghost baby in Guimen Village. He had adopted him as his godson at that time. Now that his godfather needed help, of course as a godson he had to help.

So Lin Mo came.

It turned out that the original outpost had actually become a garrison, not much different from a regular base.

However, the three senior experts stationed here led the team into the village for training, leaving only a few ordinary staff members. They didn't know Lin Mo's background, but with the credentials from the General Administration, they didn't dare to stop him.

"You mean, Guimen Village has now become a place for training?" Lin Mo was stunned.

The staff over there nodded.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Lin Mo frowned.

I don’t know who came up with this bad idea.

The reason why Guimen Village was safe and sound was because he and Zhang and the others had discussed it, and the villagers didn't want to come out, so they were able to live in peace.

But this does not mean that the name of Guimen Village is easy to explain.

That's a village full of ghosts.

With resentment, malice and hatred, this could lead to big trouble if you are not careful.

Of course, Lin Mo also knew that even if the General Administration went a little too far, the villagers would not really do anything reckless, but a small conflict was still possible.

What Lin Mo was afraid of was that a small conflict would turn into a big one. If there were some ignorant people who fanned the flames, it would be okay if it angered other villagers, but if it angered the Zhang family, then it would be a big problem.

However, these are just Lin Mo's extreme imagination.

He also knew that what he was worried about would only occur in extreme circumstances.

Moreover, this is not the first time that people have been sent in for training, and nothing has happened before. From this point of view, we can see that the expert group of the General Administration also understands the rules and has not violated the villagers' taboos.

"Come on, I'd better do my job first. At worst, I can talk to Professor Xie and the director when I have a chance and ask them to restrain the people below."

When Lin Mo thought of this, he also found a place to fall asleep.

Soon, we passed through the fog and arrived at the entrance of Guimen Village.

It has been a long time since I last came here. When I saw the crooked tree at the entrance of the village, the wooden bridge, the flowing water, and the outlines of the houses in the distance, Lin Mo felt some emotion.

If I count carefully, the last time I came here was more than half a year ago.

"I don't know if you guys missed me."

Just as I was reveling in myself, I suddenly heard a shrill scream from a distance.

"ah!"

"This, this is human skin."

With a plop.

"Ah, Xiao Li was dragged into the river by a ghost, hurry up and save him."

Then, it was chaos.

Lin Mo was stunned after hearing this.

Now I think about it, it should be the person who came in for training before.

From the sound, it seemed like something had happened. Did someone fall into the water? Or was he dragged by a ghost? This shouldn't happen. Lin Mo decided to go over and take a look to make sure nothing really happened.

So he took a few quick steps and saw a large group of people standing beside a small river in front of him. They seemed to be new and reserve experts who came here for training. Some of them were patting their chests, while others were nervously fishing by the river, but no one knew what they were fishing for.

If you look closely, you can see a wooden basin next to a large bluestone by the river, which seems to contain washed clothes.

But looking again, they were not clothes at all, but horrible pieces of human skin.

However, when Lin Mo saw the human skin, he was reminded of the farm lady who used to wash clothes by the river.

Someone noticed Lin Mo.

"Who are you?"

"He's sneaking around. Let's catch him first. Maybe he's in league with the ghost just now."

Several people shouted.

Lin Mo asked if they were substitute experts.

"How do you know?"

Those people were stunned.

At this moment, a person came over there, and after seeing Lin Mo clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Expert Lin, why are you here?"

He immediately ran over to shake hands.

Lin Mo took a look and found that he looked familiar. It seemed that he had participated in the same training session as himself and should have become a senior expert by now.

The other person’s surname seems to be Wu.

Lin Mo forgot his specific name, but he remembered that he had a big mouth and buck teeth, so everyone called him Wu Daya at that time.

After asking carefully, it turned out that the other party was indeed one of the senior experts leading the team.

Because there were two other senior experts, Wu Daya hurried to introduce them.

The students next to me were confused, but some of them reacted quickly.

"Expert Lin, Lin Mo, I remember now, it was him..."

Lin Mo is definitely a celebrity in the General Administration.

The main reason is that he handled too many strange incidents, and he was commended by the General Administration twice, which is an achievement that few people can achieve. It is said that Lin Mo's photos and introduction are hung on the corridor walls of the academy set up by the General Administration.

"This expert Lin doesn't look like the one in the photo," a female student muttered.

“It’s true.”

Not to mention these chattering students, Lin Mo asked Wu Daya and the others and only then did he know what had just happened.

Just as they entered the village, they saw an old lady washing clothes by the river.

The new students were not clear about this, but senior experts like Wu Daya knew that this aunt was a ghost villager in Guimen Village.

That’s perfect. We can start by training the students’ courage here.

So they arranged for a student named Xiao Li to go and ask for directions.

But no one expected that Xiao Li didn't know what he said to the ghost aunt, but he actually angered her. The ghost aunt got angry and jumped into the water, dragging Xiao Li in.

This is what happened.

Lin Mo also understood.

He walked to the river, looked at it, smiled, and then patted the water.

"Widow Liu, what are you doing squatting in the river?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a splash in the water and Widow Liu poked her head out of the water. She looked at Lin Mo with some surprise.

"Village Chief, are you back?"

"Well, I just happened to be passing by, so I came back to take a look." Lin Mo took a look and found that it was indeed the widow Liu who liked to wash human skin.

The other party was holding a person in his hand, but he didn't care about him anymore and threw him onto the shore. As expected, it was Xiao Li who had just made "rude remarks".

At this moment, Xiao Li was already numb with fear.

Not only was he full of water, but he also felt a little bit unconscious.

Fortunately, Widow Liu only gave Xiao Li a slight punishment and did not kill him. If Widow Liu had the intention to kill him, Xiao Li would have died long ago.

Of course, Lin Mo would not pursue this matter with Widow Liu.

Since it is an experience, whether it is good or bad depends on the students' own luck. It's your fault that you have nothing to do and provoke Widow Liu. If you don't provoke Widow Liu, she won't drag you into it.

Who cares about Xiao Li at this moment?

Widow Liu held the basin and ran happily to the village, shouting as she ran: "The village chief is back, everyone come out quickly, the village chief is back."

The sound was so sharp that the whole village could hear it.

Wu Daya and others behind were also confused.

They were obviously unaware that Lin Mo was the village chief of Guimen Village.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Wu Daya felt that this was an opportunity that would allow the students to broaden their horizons to some extent, so he took more than 30 students to Guimen Village.

"Hey, Old Wu, why do I feel something is wrong?" A senior expert said, "We used to come to Guimen Village often, but why does it feel different this time?"

When they came here before, Guimen Village was quiet. They would occasionally encounter some scary villagers, but most of them were too lazy to pay attention to outsiders like them.

So the villagers just did what they were supposed to do, and the whole village was quiet most of the time.

It's like a pool of still water, calm and steady, without any ripples.

But this time when I entered the village, the situation was completely different from before.

It was still water before, but now it is boiling water.

The originally quiet Guimen Village became completely lively at this moment. Of course, this liveliness was only in Lin Mo's eyes. In the eyes of Wu Daya and others, it was terrifying.

Extremely terrifying.

One by one, the terrifying ghost villagers walked out of the houses.

Some of them climbed out of the well, and some came down from the trees.

The people over there are full of resentment, the people over here have vicious faces, there are people with broken arms and legs, hanged people, drowned people, starved people, it's a mess.

The most frightening one was a ghost whose upper body was shattered, like a huge tree crown. The body was broken into pieces of flesh, and blood vessels connected these broken limbs, making it look like a lush tree.

Those who are selected by the General Administration are considered to be brave and elite students with potential.

But with the current situation in Guimen Village, even the elite students can’t withstand it.

Half of the students’ legs were weak, and the other half wanted to leave now.

But it's hard to leave now.

Behind them were all kinds of villagers, completely blocking the road. A group of little ghosts were running around with strange laughter, shouting, "You must be the village chief's friends, why didn't you bring any candy? Why didn't you bring any candy?"

Several female students were so scared that they started crying.

They had never seen such a scene before.

Mainly affected by the resentment of the villagers, those with weak minds can easily fall into fear, and they get deeper and deeper and cannot extricate themselves.

In fact, the scariest thing is yet to come.

Crash!

The river water behind was surging. At this moment, all the villagers became quiet and obedient.

A terrifying oppressive force also emerged from the river and swept over.

Suddenly, a terrifying woman appeared by the river, pulling a child who was about two or three years old.

Then it twisted, disappeared, and reappeared at the entrance of the village. It twisted, disappeared again, and finally appeared among the crowd.

The villagers didn't dare to say a word. The three senior experts including Wu Daya and the more than 30 trainees were all frozen. They didn't even dare to look at this woman.

In fact, what is even more terrifying is the two or three-year-old child in the woman's hand.

This is not a child at all; it is the most terrifying evil spirit.

Not only was his body covered in bruises, but his pupils were also pitch black. A student took a curious look at him, then let out a wail and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the fear of death loomed in the hearts of all the students.

Until this moment, they understood the horror of the nightmare world. Many of them had never seen the real horror, but they got the opportunity to become experts of the General Administration and became students through their intelligence, talent and ability.

In the past, they have also experienced some actual combat.

But the nightmare I encountered back then was completely different from the one the women and children are experiencing now.

The fear directly crushed all their previous arrogance and confidence.

But in a way, it might be a good thing.

As the saying goes, only through hardships can one grow.

That’s what Lin Mo thought.

So he remained silent and just watched the group of students collapse among the many villagers.

We can't just ignore it forever.

It's not good to be scared to death.

"Aunt Zhang, long time no see. You look a lot younger than the last time I saw you."

Lin Mo walked over with a smile.

The woman who came out of the river glanced at Lin Mo.

"Why didn't you say hello before coming back?" Zhang said. She usually didn't show up in the village, mainly because the villagers were afraid of her.

Besides, she didn't like that kind of hustle and bustle.

If Lin Mo hadn't come back this time, she wouldn't have come out of the river.

"Doudou, your father is back, why don't you call him dad?" Zhang lowered her head and said to the scary little ghost she was holding.

The purple-covered child looked at Lin Mo, sniffed him first, and then called him "Dad" softly.

“Doudou?” Lin Mo was surprised: “It’s only been a few months since we last met, and you’ve grown so big?”

In fact, Lin Mo had seen this little ghost from the beginning, but he didn't dare to recognize him.

This kid was born a few months ago, and now he looks to be three years old.

What are you eating to grow so fast?

Doudou was obviously very happy to hear Lin Mo's voice. It broke free from Zhang's hand and climbed into Lin Mo's arms in an instant.

It felt like teleportation.

Lin Mo held Dou Dou in his arms and could feel the coldness from the child.

It can be said that Doudou is a natural A+ grade nightmare, and the terrifying resentment and malice gathered in him are the most powerful that Lin Mo has ever seen.

In addition, Lin Mo's vision has also improved. He can feel that Doudou should be a forbidden ghost.

However, he still needs to figure out what the specific taboos are.

"dad!"

"Why!"

"Daddy, sugar!"

"Uh, I almost forgot!"

Lin Mo slapped his forehead. Fortunately, he was prepared. He took out a piece of candy from his arms and put it in Doudou's hand.

The last time he left, Lin Mo promised Doudou that he would bring it some candy when he came back next time.

I didn't expect that the little guy actually remembered it all the time.

"Doudou, I have other gifts."

Lin Mo actually liked this child at this moment. He held Doudou, found his cardboard box, took out the hamster from it, and stuffed it into Doudou's arms.

"I'm giving it to you. Do you like it?"

"like!"

Doudou stared at the hamster with his big dark eyes, and the hamster was so scared that its whole body was twitching, as if it had a cerebral thrombosis.
