If it weren’t for the experience in that memory flashback, Lin Mo would definitely not have been able to find this small medicine bottle.

The clothes and sundries down here have all rotted into a paste. Who would rummage through this sticky stuff?

Those ghosts were all crew members on the ship, and one of them must be the blonde foreign girl, Sivir. But what was she planning to do by guiding him to find this small bottle of medicine? Was it out of kindness or malice?

At this time, Lin Mo needs to make a judgment on his own.

At this moment, he looked out from the vent of the locker, and the ghosts outside had disappeared.

Lin Mo pushed open the locker and swam out.

Then, according to the scene recalled in the previous memory, he swam towards the direction of Laboratory No. 3. When he arrived there, he found that the hatch was closed, as if it had never been opened at all.

Looking through the rusty iron door, Lin Mo felt that there was some danger hidden behind it.

It may be related to Subject 418.

Lin Mo now also wants to figure out some secrets of Subject No. 418, because the scientists here created Subject No. 418 mainly for the purpose of controlling the Sea of ​​Fear.

But I don't know why it failed.

From the data that has been obtained, Subject No. 418 appeared in human form, or in other words, this special spiritual creature was cultivated from the human body.

Later, for some reason, Subject No. 418 separated from the human body and began to control the crew on the ship, eventually causing this terrible disaster.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand, and several cursed iron chains immediately extended from his sleeves. The chains were like flexible and powerful tentacles, and they opened the tightly closed hatch in the blink of an eye.

The dull sound caused bubbles to surge, and then several rotten corpses floated out.

It seems that these people died at the door, so they floated out as soon as the door opened.

As expected, they were all researchers from Laboratory No. 3 that Lin Mo had met before.

And Kant, the father of the little Pamir girl, should also be here.

Lin Mo thought about tying up a few zombies with chains. There were only seven or eight of them. At worst, he could take them all out and let Pamir identify them himself.

These chains extended from behind Lin Mo, like his tail.

Speaking of which, ever since he combined with Xiaoyu to deal with Jane's original body last time, Lin Mo found that the communication between him and Xiaoyu became smoother.

There is no need to even call Xiaoyu out separately. He can communicate with Xiaoyu with just a thought, and Lin Mo can also use some of Xiaoyu's abilities.

The reverse should also be true.

In other words, Xiaoyu should also be able to use some of Lin Mo's curse power.

These cursed chains are controlled by Lin Mo. They are actually like extended hands, but with greater strength and flexibility.

This is Laboratory No. 3.

Lin Mo searched here and found a total of seven bodies.

Kant should be included here.

However, Lin Mo soon discovered that he remembered in his memory recall that there were a total of eight people including himself, which means that there was still one body missing.

Subconsciously, Lin Mo thought that Bob was missing.

The other party was the first person in the laboratory to be controlled by 418.

In the memory recall, he was killed by himself, but in reality, the other party must have successfully killed everyone else in the laboratory.

At this moment, there were seven corpses tied to a cursed chain behind Lin Mo, like a bunch of floating grapes.

All these have to be taken out.

There were still some documents on the table, some of which had turned into paste, but some had been preserved because they were written on special paper. Lin Mo went over to take a look.

I found that they were all research reports about 418.

Similar to a log.

"…418 is not perfect. Its spiritual power can only reach its peak for four hours a day. During the rest of the time, it will decay. When it is at its weakest, 418 will automatically fall into a deep sleep. Only at this time will its spiritual power disappear."

"…completed the sixteenth spiritual connection with the Sea of ​​Fear. 418 said that there are other beings trying to control the Sea of ​​Fear, but this is not credible. The possibility of high-level spiritual creatures appearing under natural conditions is very small, only one in a million."

"…418 seems to have communicated with other spiritual beings. It has hidden this description, but the monitoring equipment has recorded those unusual mental fluctuations. This needs to be reported to the superiors. 418 is becoming uncontrollable."

"…We have completed the research on the drug NZT-47. If 418 is given this drug, its mental strength can be increased tenfold in a short period of time. Perhaps, this will allow it to completely control the Sea of ​​Fear. However, all this can only be done after completing a safety assessment of 418."

"418 seems to be hiding more things. It seems to know everything about the outside world. Has it already infiltrated?"

This is the last part of the log.

From these contents, Lin Mo understood some key information.

418 was in a 'dormant' state for a long period of time during the day, and this experimental subject seemed to be very sinister and knew how to hide. Also, the other party did not take NZT-47.

From memory recall, 418 seemed to want the NZT-47.

Another thing is the drug NZT-47, which does not cure all problems once taken. It is just a drug that can enhance mental strength in a short period of time.

Once the effect of the medicine wears off, it will return to its original form.

However, there is no mention of the side effects of this medicine.

So even though Lin Mo had a small bottle in his hand, he didn't plan to use it on himself for the time being to be on the safe side.

"I didn't meet 418 after I entered the Explorer. Maybe I came at the wrong time. It happened to be the time when the other party was sleeping."

Lin Mo analyzed it.

He didn't believe that a horrific spiritual nightmare like 418 would disappear on its own in a year of shipwreck.

The other party is most likely still here.

As for those ghosts before, they might have taken advantage of the time when 418 was sleeping to come out and do something. Perhaps, they discovered my arrival, observed secretly, and thought that I was pretty good and had potential, so they let me get the NZT-47.

Then there are several possible things that could happen next.

Left by himself.

Nothing happened, everything is still the same.

No one suffered losses.

Another possibility is that I continue to explore here, and when 418 wakes up, he discovers the intruder, and then takes action and kills me.

But he might not be killed immediately, so he has to resist, and maybe he can kill 418.

By the way, 418 is a spiritual nightmare, and its perception ability must be very strong. If it finds that it is not easy to deal with, it may not take the initiative to attack.

“So, this is when the value of NZT-47 is reflected.”

Lin Mo suddenly had an idea. If 418 found that the NZT-47 it had been looking for was on him, then out of greed and desire, it would most likely take the risk.

This will inevitably lead to conflicts, even life-and-death struggles.

Of course, there is another possibility, that I was just a fool and drank NZT-47 directly.

However, this will still trigger a 418 attack.

In the eyes of those ghosts, even if the possibility of killing 418 is only one in ten, it will definitely be a good thing for them as long as they can succeed.

Because they may have always been controlled by 418, or even been sealed here and unable to gain freedom.

These are some of the guesses that Lin Mo has made based on the clues discovered so far.

Maybe not.

But it is also possible that one of them is the truth.

Take these materials out together.

Lin Mo thought it over and decided that those ghosts were unnecessary because he would come back after completing his mission for Pamir.

The reason is very simple. This time Lin Mo wants to take the Glutton away. To do this, he will definitely come into contact with the Sea of ​​Fear, and a conflict is highly likely.

Lin Mo had no preparation or rehearsal for this.

Because he knew almost nothing about the Sea of ​​Fear.

Now we have discovered clues about the Sea of ​​Fear on the Explorer, and even found the spirit body Nightmare No. 418 who can theoretically control the Sea of ​​Fear. Of course, we need to get to know it better, and it would be best to have some friendly and in-depth communication with No. 418 in person.

This kind of opportunity must not be missed.

So those ghosts were a bit too clever for their own good. Even if they didn't do this, even if 418 didn't come to find Lin Mo, Lin Mo would still go find it.

Lin Mo planned to go out and report to the little girl Pamir first.

He was dragging the seven corpses and preparing to swim out, but at this moment he felt the chain being pulled.

Looking back, he saw seven corpses grabbing the table railings or something, and each of them was looking at Lin Mo in a very strange posture.

Even though the corpse's eyeballs were eaten by fish and shrimp and had become hollow, Lin Mo could still see that they were looking at him at this moment.

What does this mean? Still not willing to leave? No.

These corpses are controlled by some force.

418 is awake?

Lin Mo realized this immediately.

Lin Mo adjusted his mentality and began to look around. Suddenly, a face suddenly appeared from the side. It was also a corpse, but it was not rotten at all, especially the pair of eyes with a faint light.

Just one glance at it gives you the illusion of being deeply immersed in it.

Bang! Lin Mo then felt someone push him.

He took a few steps back and sat down on a sofa.

The surrounding environment has changed. It is no longer a shipwreck on the seabed, but should be some spiritual realm.

This is a living room with a sofa and a TV. It feels very homey.

Lin Mo looked around and felt that the environment here was very familiar. The next moment, his eyes widened and his nose suddenly felt a little sour.

"Isn't this...home?"

Lin Mo muttered.

He immediately stood up and walked towards the back corridor, glancing at the kitchen.

There's no one inside.

Feeling a little disappointed, he ran upstairs quickly and looked in every room.

Also empty.

When he went downstairs, he sighed and looked indescribably depressed. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. His eyes were unfocused and a little dazed. No one knew what he was thinking about.

The next moment, the door was opened and someone walked in from outside.

Lin Mo raised his head and took a closer look, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but after he saw that the person who came was not any of the three people he thought, his face was suddenly filled with disappointment again.

"You look a little unhappy." There was a hint of ferocity in the eyes of the man who came in, the kind of look that a hungry wolf looks at a little lamb, as if he had the confidence that everything was under his control, and the sense of superiority of a strong man facing the weak.

These emotions are mixed in each other's eyes.

This shows that this is a very complex and dangerous person.

The man was going to come over and sit on the sofa opposite, but as soon as he approached, Lin Mo said, "Stop, who the hell let you in? You're going to sit on this sofa, do you know who sits on this sofa? Get out of the way."

The other party was stunned by the scolding.

Perhaps in the past, no one dared to be so disrespectful to it in the spiritual realm.

Others would have been numbed by fear after experiencing all this and would be manipulated by it at will.

"You are very brave, but this will not change the outcome of this matter." It remained calm.

In fact, it can pounce on the opponent and kill him immediately, and then completely control the person's body.

This kind of thing has been done frequently in the past.

Very skilled.

But he felt that it was meaningless, just like the Japanese invaders invading the village, which was a complete lack of manners.

It feels like it has great quality.

Generally, they have to chat and get to know each other well, and then slowly show their terrifying side, admiring the other person's facial features distorted by fear, and finally start to kill when the other person cries or begs for mercy.

This will give it a sense of accomplishment and make it feel like a great artist.

The other party's behavior just now might be because he doesn't know how powerful he is.

This is actually quite fun.

It had made up its mind and decided not to tell the other party for the time being. This way, when it killed the man later, it would be able to see the other party's change from pride to fear and despair.

This reversal is a refreshing thing for it.

To use a proverb from an Eastern country, this is called "pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."

"Okay, then don't sit down. Having said that, I have entered the spiritual world of many people, and most of them are blank or desolate. Your place is quite different. There is actually a small house, but the decoration is a bit old-fashioned." It had plenty of time to chat.

A whole day in the spiritual realm is equivalent to a second outside.

In the past, it would torture a person to the point of collapse, usually for two to three days, and for some extreme cases, it would take three to five days.

He had made up his mind that he would make the man in front of him suffer for five days at least.

Lin Mo on the opposite side ignored what it said.

In Lin Mo's opinion, none of this matters.

The person who came in front of him looked exactly like Bob in the memory flashback.

And the other party can enter into one's spiritual realm.

Therefore, the identity of the other party is about to be revealed.

"Are you 418?" Lin Mo asked directly.

Bob on the other side was stunned for a moment, then showed a trace of displeasure: "It's Psycho-mutant No. 418, you country bumpkin."

"Okay 418, let me ask you, when you came here, did you plan to chat with me first, or did you plan to take action first?"

Lin Mo is in a bad mood now.

This familiar two-story cottage reminded him of some things in the past. A family of four once lived here: a loving couple, a handsome son, and a lively daughter.

But now, things have changed.

Bob, also known as 418, showed a murderous look on his face at this time.

"You really don't know how to chat. Fortunately, I don't mind. Let me ask you..."

"Let me ask you first." Lin Mo stretched out his hand to stop the other party.

"You, ask me? What do you want to ask?" 418 was a little curious.

"I understand that you went on a killing spree on the Explorer, but why did you sink the ship? It doesn't seem like it would do you any good." Lin Mo asked a question that was on his mind.

418 was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect Lin Mo to ask such a question.

"I didn't sink the boat." At this time, a trace of anger flashed across 418's face, but it didn't seem like it wanted Lin Mo to notice it, so this emotion only flashed by and was then hidden.

"You didn't sink it? Could it be that some of the crew members were not under your control and sank the ship themselves, thus trapping you at the bottom of the sea?"

"Haha, just those trash? Killing them is as easy as crushing an ant. They don't even stand a chance."

"I see. If it's not you, nor the crew members, it can only be an external existence. Let me think, is it the Sea of ​​Fear?" Lin Mo's mind was working quickly at this moment. He just sorted out the powerful existences related to this matter, and then found one that could do this.

This time, 418 narrowed his eyes, then showed a mocking expression.

And it actually laughed out loud.

It seemed that what Lin Mo said just now was very ridiculous.

Lin Mo was not angry either.

He knew very little about the Sea of ​​Fear and was mentally prepared to make mistakes.

After laughing for a while, 418 told Lin Mo that the Sea of ​​Fear is not a single entity as you imagine.

"It is an incomprehensible existence. Those ridiculous guys expect me to control it. Is this a joke? It's simply ignorant. From the beginning, I have never controlled the Sea of ​​Fear. Instead, they are controlling me. That's not right. Strictly speaking, I am now also a part of the Sea of ​​Fear."

418 showed a strange and sinister smile.

But it was disappointed, as Lin Mo on the opposite side did not show any expression of shock or fear.

On the contrary, he lowered his head and started thinking.

"What are you doing?" 418 asked.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand to interrupt its question, as if its voice would interrupt his thoughts.

"You bastard, I'm starting to lose my patience." 418 was a little angry. It was the one in control and it was he who should be the one to decide how to play the cat and mouse game.

But now it finds that it has been led by the nose from the very beginning.

As a confident nightmare that thinks it is a superior being, this is a complete humiliation.

It changed its mind.

It wanted to teach the man opposite it a lesson immediately.

Perhaps this way, the other party could understand how terrifying he really is.

"In the spiritual realm, I am invincible." 418 sneered and stretched out his hand to Lin Mo.

He wanted to use his mental power to lock the other party.

This way, no matter what it does next, the opponent will not be able to resist.

It's like dealing with a fish tied to a chopping board.

418 produced a sharp knife and walked towards the person opposite with a grin. It deliberately shook the knife in its hand, and after getting closer, it stabbed the opponent's arm.

The man opposite cursed impatiently when he saw this, then reached out his hand like lightning and grabbed 418's wrist, snatched the knife, and then pierced 418's foot with one knife, nailing it to the floor.
