The floor is covered with thick carpets, the lights on the ceiling are beautiful, and there is a luxurious atmosphere.

That’s not the point. The point is that the corridor is full of people.

There are all kinds of people, men, women, young and old, and the same thing is that they all have no mouths, just like a painting where the mouths of the characters have been erased by erasers.

Lin Mo couldn't laugh at them because he was in the same situation now.

What surprised Lin Mo was that there were so many people in the corridor, all looking at him. The normal routine should not be to lay the groundwork first, then gradually go deeper and deeper, and finally lead to the climax.

What does it mean to use a big move at the beginning? Lin Mo stared at the crowd in the corridor. He wanted to ask, "What are you looking at?"

But unfortunately, he had no mouth and could not ask.

He couldn't even make a humming sound.

In addition, Lin Mo also found that everyone on the boat was extremely thin. Later he thought that this was normal. Without a mouth, they could not eat. If they did not eat, they would become thinner.

And this is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully.

If you don't eat, even if it's a nightmare, what will happen in the end? Will you starve to death? Some will definitely starve to death, but some won't. After all, nightmares are different from living people. Even if they have bodies, they are flesh and blood in the nightmare world, and their endurance is stronger. In addition, nightmares like Xiaoyu belong to the "evil spirit" series, so they don't need to eat.

Fear is their food.

Just as I was daydreaming, a tall and thin man walked over from the crowd, holding a string of shackles connected by iron chains. Several pairs of shackles were already used to lock up several people, and they were being dragged over at this moment.

Zhang Xu was among them, and not only him, but also the ghosts on the fishing boat before.

Basically, no one escaped.

But Doudou wasn't there.

Doudou is much stronger than these ghosts, so it’s no surprise that he can run away.

Zhang Xu had shackles around his neck. When he saw Lin Mo, he wanted to speak, but couldn't. He could only glare at Lin Mo, apparently telling him to run away.

Lin Mo glanced at Zhang Xu, then glanced at the tall and thin man.

The opponent is very strong.

If it were a being beyond A-level, in the past, Lin Mo would definitely have escaped.

There is no need to confront the other party head-on.

But after his arms grew bigger and his fists became stronger, Lin Mo ran away less often.

In his words, if the criminals met him, it would definitely not be him who was pinned on the table.

The tall, thin man was obviously trying to arrest someone.

Catch the newcomers who have just come on board.

At this moment, seeing Lin Mo and the green ghost holding the child behind him, he raised his hand and swung it, and two iron chains and shackles flew over like spirit snakes.

Lin Mo raised his hand and moved it aside.

The female ghost behind did not dare to touch the shackles and could only avoid them in embarrassment.

It feels like there is some kind of curse on the shackles that can suppress nightmares.

The opponent swung again, and the two shackles attacked again.

This time, there was a faint light emanating from it.

The female ghost had no way to escape this time. With a click, she was locked up. Her body went limp and she sat on the ground with fear and pleading in her eyes.

This time, Lin Mo reached out and grabbed the handcuffs.

It seemed as if there were countless sharp spikes on the shackles, which were extremely painful when touched.

However, in the eyes of Lin Mo, who has the Iron Curse, this level of curse attack can be almost ignored. In addition, there is a burning sensation on it, but Lin Mo is also immune to it.

Seeing that Lin Mo was unmoved, the tall and thin man flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lin Mo. He raised his hand and stretched out his dry and stiff palm to pinch Lin Mo's neck.

The opponent's attack was extremely fast and Lin Mo couldn't dodge at all, and was strangled.

But he didn't suffer any loss.

He also grabbed the tall and thin man's neck.

As long as it is an attacking curse, blast it away.

There was pain in the tall and thin man's eyes. Lin Mo felt that if he had a mouth, he would definitely scream like a frightened girl.

The next moment, the other party's hand that was pinching Lin Mo's neck had turned into a pair of shackles.

"If I'm caught by this guy, what specific part of my body will be locked?"

Such a thought flashed through Lin Mo's mind.

He moved very quickly, drew out his sickle and chopped the man on the head.

With a puff.

The tall and thin man was split in half from the head down.

From the moment the opponent flashed over to attack to the moment he was chopped into two by Lin Mo, the entire process took just a blink of an eye. The two fought several times before the winner was finally decided.

When the tall and thin man died, the chains in his hands all rotted and then disintegrated into gray sand.

The same went for the other person's body. There was no blood, and the two halves of the body also turned into two piles of sand.

When I looked up again, all the people in the corridor had run away.

Now Lin Mo finally understood.

It turns out that these guys were just spectators who came to watch the fun. They gathered around when there was something exciting to watch, but when they realized that there was nothing exciting anymore and that they might get themselves involved, they ran away as fast as they could.

Zhang Xu and the ghost on the fishing boat all came over now.

These ghosts are not stupid.

Whether they like it or not, they can only follow Lin Mo now, otherwise they will inevitably be caught in the strange reckoning on the Silence.

At this moment, eyes big and small were all staring at Lin Mo.

Waiting for his instructions.

Zhang Xu couldn't speak, but he could make gestures. After gesturing for a long time, Lin Mo couldn't help but hand him a piece of paper and a pen.

There was no way. Neither of them had learned sign language and couldn't understand what it meant.

Either we say that writing is the most important invention of human society and the cornerstone of human civilization. Without writing, there would be no civilization.

Zhang Xu wrote: "My dad and his friends must be on the boat too. Expert Lin, what should we do now?"

Lin Mo also wrote a line of words.

"Have you seen Doudou?"

"He ran away. The monster you just killed didn't catch up with Doudou."

Lin Mo nodded.

Just as he thought.

The little guy Doudou is a smart guy. He knows that this ship is not simple and that he must not be controlled by the weirdness here, so he ran away.

Lin Mo was not worried either.

Doudou is extremely powerful. How could the ghost baby that the ghost mother of Guimen Village took hundreds of years to give birth to be ordinary?

This is all thanks to Lin Mo's good teaching and guidance, otherwise Doudou's harm would definitely be at the level of destroying a city or a country.

Lin Mo would not go specifically to look for Doudou.

It might be a good idea to let the little one have some fun on the boat.

Besides, it would be easy for Lin Mo to find Doudou.

You can find it by placing a paper crane.

The most urgent thing right now is to find out the situation on the Silence first, and it would be best to capture a few people and ask them.

You also have to be able to read and write.

Walking to the body of the tall and thin man that had turned into sand, Lin Mo searched around.

Except for the clothes, almost all of the other person's body tissues turned into sand. No one knows what this weirdness is.

However, Lin Mo still discovered something from the pile of gray sand.

He saw a corner of a paper.

He grabbed it and pulled it out, and a piece of yellow paper was pulled out from the sand.

Lin Mo was stunned.

He looked carefully at the yellow paper and saw several curse sequences written on it.

2-7-B Silence (Mouthless), 2-8 Shackles, 2-3 Paralysis, 4-1 Burning, 5-2 Thorns, 5-4 Sleepless, 6-3 Sand of Evil Spirits.

There are seven curses in total.

Among these, the mutated curse of the mouthless one is a standard feature on the ship, and I guess everyone has it. Lin Mo has seen some of the other curses before, and they are quite familiar to him.

But there are two I haven't seen.

One is the shackles at 2-8, and the other is the sand of evil spirits at 6-3.

Lin Mo has done a deep study on curses. Curse sequence No. 2 is 'despair' and curse sequence No. 6 is 'hatred'.

It is estimated that the method used by the other party to capture people before was the curse of "shackles".

As for the Sand of Evil Spirits.

The other party's current state of death should be able to explain it.

Nothing can be revealed from the curse alone, but the fact that the other party has yellow paper means that he was once a living person, at least not a 'nightmare body'.

A 'nightmare' that is truly born out of fear cannot be written on yellow paper.

Lin Mo planned to give the newly discovered yellow paper directly to Zhang Xu.

He told Zhang Xu of his plan in writing, and the latter was obviously excited and expressed his willingness.

The method to obtain ownership of the yellow paper is also very simple, just perform a blood sacrifice and then stuff it into the heart.

Zhang Xu learned it as soon as Lin Mo taught him.

When he stuffed the yellow paper into his heart, his whole body began to tremble.

Obviously, he needs to endure great pain.

These curses can hurt people, but the first person to be hurt is the curse owner himself.

Fortunately, Lin Mo has studied it and found that these curses can achieve a "balance" with each other. Although not as good as Lin Mo's balance, he will not be killed by the curse.

Perhaps the curse of the evil spirit sand can neutralize the curse of paralysis, burning and thorns. As for the insomniac, Lin Mo did not study this curse in depth. He only knew that it was a curse that did not require sleep.

What Zhang Xu got was a yellow paper with seven curse sequences written on it. As long as he got used to it, he would be able to ascend to the ranks of masters directly from a rookie.

Naturally, the side effects of this kind of airplane-like ascension take time to get used to.

But they couldn't stay here forever. Lin Mo felt that the weirdness on the ship would definitely come back, so they had to move to another place first.

Let a ghost carry Zhang Xu, and Lin Mo gestured to the ghosts.

Let them follow well.

Now they are a team, they prosper together and perish together.

As for where to run, it was Lin Mo's first time to come to Silence, and he didn't know the layout of this place, so he could only go wherever he went.

At this moment, I reached the end of the corridor and pushed open a door.

Inside is a relatively large circular hall.

But there was no one there at the moment.

The atmosphere was a bit weird. Lin Mo noticed that there were several doors in front of the three directions.

Each door has a different shape.

Some are carved with a crying woman's face, some are carved with a cute little bear's face, some are carved with the moon and stars, and there are also very distorted patterns that are hard to tell what they are.

Lin Mo discovered just now that the Silence has a very "artistic atmosphere", that is, the feeling of the Renaissance era, which can be seen from the patterns of the carpets, the shape of the chandeliers, the oil paintings on the walls and the various sculptures placed in the corners.

So, maybe not being allowed to talk on the Silence is a form of "performance art"? The most difficult thing to understand in this world is not geometry or arithmetic, not complex equations, but the mind of an artist.

God knows what these people are thinking about all day long.

It’s okay if it’s normal.

I’m afraid of something abnormal.

The problem is, do you admit it is abnormal? Do you admit it?

Instead of admitting it, they will laugh at you for not understanding aesthetics and not knowing how to discover beauty.

Lin Mo only wants to say five words about this.

Fuck you! At this time, several people ran by quickly.

Also no mouth.

But he looked terrified.

It’s not that they were afraid of Lin Mo and the others, because these people never even looked at Lin Mo and the others from beginning to end.

It was as if something else frightened them.

Lin Mo took a step forward and grabbed one.

Then gesture to the other person.

The other party wanted to struggle but couldn't break free. However, Lin Mo could see that the other party was really anxious.

The man was wearing a suit and his face was pale, as if he was wearing powder. He was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

He was pointing at a place at this time.

Lin Mo looked in the direction the other person's finger was pointing.

I realized that the other person was referring to a clock on the wall.

At this moment, the hour hand on the clock is about to point to twelve o'clock.

And this clock is also different from a normal clock.

The numbers that should have been marked on it to represent the time are replaced by some patterns.

Of course, it does not replace all twelve hours, but only the four time points of 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock.

The pattern at twelve o'clock is a "skull", which is quite scary; the pattern at three o'clock is the shape of a bed; the pattern at six o'clock is a knife and fork; and the pattern at nine o'clock is a chess crown.

At this point, I don’t know what this means.

But it’s almost twelve o’clock now, maybe in less than two minutes. Judging from the expression of the person who was grabbed by Lin Mo and not allowed to leave, if it’s twelve o’clock, something terrible will happen.

But the problem is, I can’t speak, I can’t ask, and I can’t say anything.

The other party looked at the clock and was really anxious.

He gestured to Lin Mo, indicating that they should follow him.

In fact, Lin Mo and other ghosts also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, as if something terrifying was approaching, the kind that was enough to threaten them.

Even Xiaoyu secretly reached out her hand from Lin Mo's sleeve and pulled Lin Mo.

That's meant to be a warning.

This time Lin Mo did not hesitate and immediately followed the man into a door next to him that had stars and moons painted on it.

There was thick cloth inside. After lifting it, Lin Mo felt that the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

He was stunned.

Because this is actually a big theater.

There are seats all around, but most of them are occupied at this moment.

All without mouths, just like them.

The man who led the way hurriedly asked Lin Mo and the others to sit down.

Lin Mo found an empty seat and sat there, and the other ghosts followed suit.

At this time, the person leading the way seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and he was relatively relaxed, but there was still fear in his eyes. He gestured to Lin Mo.

It seems that Lin Mo is being told not to move.

In less than a minute, the light in the theater dimmed, the lights on the stage came on, and the curtain was slowly pulled open.

The next moment, a person appeared on the stage.

Dress up.

The audience began to applaud spontaneously.

The person who appeared in fancy attire had heavy makeup, strange clothes and a wig, so for a moment, Lin Mo couldn't tell whether the person was a man or a woman.

The other party was unable to speak either. He stretched out his hand, made a few gestures, and pointed to a place on the stage.

The other lights over there went out, the spotlight came on, and then a woman appeared with light and graceful steps and began a solo dance.

In Lin Mo's view, this is more like a silent drama.

Show it through dance.

Interestingly, Lin Mo actually understood it.

He swore that he had never watched this kind of art performance before because the ticket price was expensive, too profound, or even boring. But the woman on the stage performed very well and vividly, and even without speaking, he could still understand the story.

At the same time, Lin Mo felt the black cloth behind him being lifted up.

Something entered the theater through the entrance.

At this moment, it was obvious that everyone in the theater was getting nervous.

Everyone put their hands on their legs, tensed their bodies, and stared at the stage.

Waves of chill spread from behind to the front.

Lin Mo sensed danger.

He really wanted to turn his head to see what came in, but Xiaoyu reached out her little hand from under his collar and steady his head, preventing him from looking.

Obviously, if you look at it, it will bring great danger.

Lin Mo could hold it back, but some people couldn't.

It couldn't help but turn its head to take a look at the ghost who followed in the fishing boat, a skinny middle-aged man.

The next moment, it was snatched away from the table by some force. Because of the angle, Lin Mo couldn't see it, but he could hear the noise.

The sound lasted only a second before it stopped abruptly.

After a while, the chill slowly left the theater.

Until this moment, the 'people' in the theater felt relieved.

The female ghost holding the child took a sneak peek and gestured to Lin Mo. Lin Mo understood that the ghost that was captured was definitely doomed.

That was indeed terrifying.

Xiaoyu has already given the warning, there is no way Lin Mo would ignore it.

But compared to the ghost that was captured and the terrifying existence that captured the ghost, Lin Mo was actually more focused on the performance on the stage.

The woman on the stage is telling a strange and terrifying story with silent dance.
