The main reason is that it is not necessary, and besides, Lin Mo is not the kind of person who is accustomed to abusing his power for personal gain.
But this time, he directly used his privileges to call a plane from the General Administration, and after talking to the special expert Zhong Kui on the phone, he immediately went to Qianlong City.
The main reason is that Lin Mo doesn’t want to wait for a moment.
It has been three or four days since I last quit the game.
Lin Mo has been like an ant on hot pan these past few days, feeling extremely anxious. Now that he knows that Zhong Kui is actually the judge of the underworld, he can't wait any longer and heads straight for Qianlong City.
The only one who went with Lin Mo was Xiao 6.
Fatty and Tao Xin are still in Tunjing City. They are just ordinary people and can't help much in this matter.
After landing, Lin Mo did not stop, but he did not go to the headquarters. Instead, he went to an ordinary residence according to the address given by Zhong Kui before. Then he reached out and touched the door frame at the door of the house. Sure enough, he touched a key and opened the door and went in.
"Where is this?" Xiao Liu asked curiously.
There's no one in this room.
The curtains are drawn even in broad daylight.
There was furniture, but it was obviously very new, as if it had been pulled directly from the furniture factory and had never been used.
"My friend's house. Xiao Liu, I'm going to fall asleep soon, so please keep an eye on it for me."
"OK!"
Xiao 6 agreed readily.
Anyway, she realized that Lin Mo kept her by his side and treated her as a guard to look after his health.
However, Xiao 6 thought this job was good and was not opposed to it at all. After all, he had food and drink with Lin Mo, and he also bought himself a mobile phone.
By the way, when Lin Mo falls asleep, she can take out her phone and play games again.
At this time, Lin Mo sat on the brand new sofa and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still in the room.
It’s just that I have already arrived at the nightmare projection of this house.
The brand new furniture in the room now looked as if it had been used for a long time, and the sofa under my butt was also very old.
This is because no one uses it in the real world, but it is used too much in the nightmare world, so there is this contrast.
There was a person sitting on the chair opposite.
It was Zhong Kui with a black beard and a red robe.
"You are really fast. I heard that you were still in Whale City an hour ago. What happened that made you so anxious?"
Zhong Kui's voice was steady.
This is his home.
Few people know that Lin Mo has now become one of these few people.
"It's about my brother's life. Do you think I should be anxious?" Lin Mo said.
"Your brother? Don't lie to me. I've read your information. You don't have any brothers or sisters. You are the only child in your Lin family."
"This is a long story and I really don't have the time now. Thank you for telling me the method to enter the underworld. I'm really anxious." Lin Mo was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
There is a high probability that my brother was caught by the judge. Several days have passed and his life or death is still unknown. It would be strange if Lin Mo was not anxious.
"I can see that you are anxious, but there are some things in this world that cannot be done immediately. And it's not that I won't do it, do you think it's really that easy to enter the underworld?"
After Zhong Kui finished speaking, he took out a pot of wine and two small cups from somewhere and insisted that Lin Mo drink with him.
Lin Mo was not in the mood for that, but he had to rely on Zhong Kui to enter the underworld, so he could only patiently drink the glass.
In fact, just drink it all in one gulp.
"You are too impatient. Tell me the details." Zhong Kui said, "Even if we want to enter the underworld, we have to do it at night. It is broad daylight now and we cannot enter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. He did not hide anything, organized his thoughts, and explained the general situation.
"So that's how it is."
Zhong Kui was also surprised when he heard this, and said that it was amazing that you could actually play games that could reach the underworld.
The game 'Death Chamber' is indeed strange. No one knows the details and secrets of this game. The purpose of Lin Mo setting up a game exploration team is to see if he can find the origin of this game in the game.
"The judge you met should be Lao Cui. He is now in power and very arrogant." Zhong Kui said, and then told Lin Mo about the underworld.
Anyway, it is broad daylight now and there is still plenty of time, so it is necessary to understand the situation in detail.
According to Zhong Kui, there was a "nightmare incident" a long time ago, but it was not called a nightmare at that time. It had different names in different periods.
The underworld was slowly formed in the past.
In other words, this place really exists.
"Before, I was also a judge, in charge of punishing evil, but later something happened and I stopped doing it. I left the underworld and traveled around. Later, I was found by the Security Bureau. I talked to them and found that they were very compatible with my temperament, so I became this special expert. For me, this is just a career, and I may have to change it again after a while."
Zhong Kui sees things very clearly.
Also very sober.
Conservative, but also adaptable to new environments.
To be honest, when Lin Mo first learned that Zhong Kui was one of the special experts, he thought that some extremely immature person had deliberately given him such a name.
Unexpectedly, that person is the real one.
"What's the matter with the real one? Let's not believe in those feudal superstitions. To put it more scientifically, I am just a nightmare that was born earlier. I was lucky enough to control the resentment and malice in my body. It's nothing special."
Zhong Kui said that he really keeps up with the times, does not put on airs, and his character is truly impeccable.
Let’s continue talking about the underworld.
That place is really mysterious. People in the nightmare world will not really disappear after being killed, but will go to the underworld, where they will be rewarded for good and punished for evil. No matter how powerful they were in the past, they can only follow the rules after going there. If they do too many evil things, they will be sentenced and sent to the ghost prison, just like Zhou Li, to be punished and tortured.
Not dead yet.
Because there is the top-level undead curse.
"The curse of the undead actually originated from the underworld. It is not a good thing to be infected with this thing. Once caught by the people below, even if you are innocent, you will become guilty. The guilty person will be punished more severely."
Zhong Kui's nose moved at this moment, and that expression told Lin Mo that he could smell the curse on Lin Mo.
"You and Lin Nan both have the curse of the undead. This thing can protect you, but it is also a trouble. You don't feel it at ordinary times, but if you are going to the underworld, I can say this: once you go, don't even think about coming back. Because carrying the undead but not being punished in the underworld is a taboo. It's like saying that you and Lin Nan are now wanted criminals in the underworld. Let me ask you, if a wanted criminal wanders around the police station, isn't that like lighting a light in the toilet, courting death?"
“So I advise you not to go!”
After going in circles, Zhong Kui finally revealed his true intentions.
It can be seen that he is doing this for Lin Mo's own good.
It is because he knows the horror of the underworld that Zhong Kui uses kind words to persuade people.
After hearing this, Lin Mo was silent for a while, and then asked Zhong Kui, "Did you lie to me just now? Entering the underworld has nothing to do with whether it is dark or not?" Zhong Kui shook his head and said, "I really didn't lie to you about this. It is true that you have to wait until dark, but the other things I said are also true. The underworld is not a place to joke. I just want to say one thing, don't go, especially you, really, someone like you, after going down, you will definitely not come back."
"Thank you." Lin Mo said sincerely, "But my brother is down there, and his life or death is uncertain, so I have to go down no matter what."
Zhong Kui laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you are very brave, I like it, I won't persuade you anymore. I will take you down myself when the time comes. Hey, don't look at me like that, we are colleagues now, you are willing to risk your life to go to the underworld for your elder brother, this friendship is not easy to come by, I can't stand this, so it's okay to help you to the best of my ability."
Lin Mo was overjoyed when he heard this and hurried to thank him.
Zhong Kui said it was a bit early to thank him now, we need to make some plans.
"There are ghost soldiers at the entrance to the underworld. If you go alone, you won't even be able to get through the door and will be arrested. So, I will take you down and pretend to arrest you for questioning. This way, the ghost soldiers won't stop us."
"That's a good idea."
Lin Mo agreed.
"Then, you and I must hurry. Remember, your goal is to find your brother. If your brother is caught by Lao Cui, he should be locked up in the ghost prison. I can go and pick him up directly, and bribe the jailer, and no one will ask about it. This plan will not have any problems and is the safest. If your brother is not caught by Lao Cui, then we will look for him for a while. If we can find him, that's great. If we can't, you must leave with me when the time is up. For other situations, we will deal with them as the time comes, but you must remember to listen to me..."
Lin Mo said, Brother Zhong Kui, your plan is really good, let’s do as you said.
After the general direction was decided, Lin Mo relaxed a lot.
Started drinking with Zhong Kui.
After all, this guy is one of the special experts of the General Administration. I didn't expect that he didn't even have a snack to go with his wine. He could only make do with peanuts.
There was no result.
Just drink it dry.
Lin Mo stopped drinking after a few cups and started chatting, asking about Zhong Kui's past.
No matter who they are, what they like to talk about most is the things in their past that they are proud of.
We chatted until dark.
During this period, Lin Mo woke up once and explained something to Xiao Liu. After all, this time he had to follow Zhong Kui into the underworld, which might take one day or three to five days, so he had to explain everything.
Xiao 6 had no objection and said that as long as there was food and entertainment, not to mention three or five days, even thirty to fifty days would be no problem.
Lin Mo told Xiao 6 Monkey’s phone number and told him to ask him to bring food if he was hungry, and to find him if he wanted to play anything.
It was already cloudy today, and it started raining outside, making it even more gloomy.
Zhong Kui stopped drinking and was now holding a thick black brush in deep thought, as if he was reminiscing about something.
Seeing Lin Mo coming, he flipped his hand and hid the brush.
Lin Mo said that he was ready and could set off at any time.
"Okay, let's go!" After saying that, he threw a set of blood-stained clothes to Lin Mo and told him to put them on.
This set of clothes looked a bit creepy. It was originally white, but now most of it was stained with blood, exuding a gloomy feeling. When Lin Mo put it on, he felt that all his original aura was suppressed by this bloody clothes.
This is good stuff.
"Or I'll just cover my face, too."
Lin Mo said this, and he suddenly remembered that his brother looked exactly like him. If his brother became a wanted criminal down there, wouldn’t he be easily recognized if he went down there?
It’s safer to cover your face.
Zhong Kui said it was easy.
He took out a square piece of hemp paper, wrote the word "ghost" on it with a brush, and then wrote a random name next to it.
It's a name like Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi.
After writing it, he handed it to Lin Mo.
"Just put it on your face."
This saves a lot of trouble.
Lin Mo looked at the piece of paper, slapped it on his face, and it really stuck. Now others couldn't see Lin Mo's appearance at all.
"This is used to seal ghosts. You are not a ghost, so it is only used to cover your facial features. Okay, now you are wearing the blood-stained clothes of the wronged souls and the ghost seal of hemp paper on your face. This way, no matter who you meet, no one will be suspicious. Let's go and come back quickly."
After Zhong Kui finished speaking, he took out a set of shackles and asked Lin Mo to put them on himself.
But this is actually just a shackle, no lock, Lin Mo can break free with just a little effort.
It's just for show.
Then Zhong Kui stomped his feet and muttered something, the last sentence of which was "Open the Ghost Gate". With a click, a crack appeared on the ground.
It's like a surgical operation, making a wound on the patient's belly.
Grabbing Lin Mo, Zhong Kui jumped down.
After falling for a while, he landed on the ground a moment later and had arrived at another strange space.
It was a desolate place with dust all over the air. Sometimes it felt cold and sometimes it felt hot. In the distance, one could clearly hear wailing and screaming, which was enough to disturb one's mind just by listening to them for a while.
"Let's go. We have to walk a distance to get there."
Zhong Kui said something, then pulled the chain and led the way, while Lin Mo followed behind.
As they walked, Zhong Kui was still whispering some precautions.
According to him, there are many taboos in this place, and it is best not to violate any of them. The problem is that after listening for a while, Lin Mo also felt that there were too many taboos. If he was distracted for a while, he would forget what he said before.
I just don't care about it anymore. Anyway, I'll follow Zhong Kui and he will take care of anything that happens.
After walking for a while, Lin Mo suddenly heard other footsteps around him.
I didn't pay much attention at first, but the footsteps became more and more frequent, as if there was a large group of people following me on both sides, but the dust obscured my vision and I couldn't see clearly what was around me.
Lin Mo couldn't help but ask Zhong Kui.
The latter said just ignore it.
"This place is very close to the City of the Wrongly Dead. These are all lonely ghosts who died in vain. Just ignore them and everything will be fine."
Lin Mo recalled that Zhong Kui had indeed said just now that one should just walk on this road and ignore everything else. One can look around, but one must never talk to the things around him.
Otherwise, you will inevitably be entangled by it.
"Since ancient times, the evil spirits that died unjustly are the most difficult to deal with, but they are also the most pitiful. If you ignore these things, they will entangle you endlessly. If you pay attention to them, you will be attacked. If you want to kill them, you will suffer misfortune. After all, they are already very miserable."
Zhong Kui sighed, obviously he was helpless with these things.
Lin Mo nodded.
It was fine at first, but as he walked, Lin Mo found that there were several people following him on both sides. They were all weak and hideous, and they were very close to him that he could touch them with his arms outstretched.
"Just ignore it, just ignore it."
Lin Mo remembered Zhong Kui's words and said them to himself.
But soon Lin Mo discovered that if you ignore it, it will pay attention to you.
At first, just watch.
It's the kind of look that's staring at you.
Several wrongfully dead ghosts had ghostly looks on their faces, their eyes wide open, and they walked stiffly while turning their heads to look at Lin Mo.
Ordinary people have long been looked down upon.
Lin Mo acted as if he didn't see it.
Even when there were a few more dead ghosts staring at him later, Lin Mo still ignored them.
Soon these innocent victims began to change their tactics.
"Brother, how did you die?" A male ghost with half of his face cut off by a sharp blade asked while sticking out his blood-red tongue.
Lin Mo held back and didn't reply.
Because Zhong Kui said, once you pay attention to them, there will be no end to it.
So, just ignore it.
"What's your name?" another female ghost asked grimly beside her.
Next, various questions came one after another.
These dead ghosts tried every means to induce Lin Mo to speak, but fortunately, Lin Mo still had some self-control, so no matter what they asked, he just pretended not to hear.
Even if you ask me about death, I won’t respond.
Do whatever you want.
The only person who almost made Lin Mo break down was an old lady with a flower in her hair.
The old lady walked very fast. She looked to be in her eighties, but her legs and feet were extremely fast. She actually kept the same speed as Lin Mo. Then she stretched her neck and asked Lin Mo seriously with an old face with red lips, "Do you want to date?"
At that time, Lin Mo almost couldn't hold it back.
Lin Mo could remain calm even when seeing a ghost that was a hundred times more terrifying than this one, but at that time, Lin Mo only felt his scalp tingling and the hairs on his body stood up.
Most people can't stand this.
Fortunately, Zhong Kui said that as long as you don't talk to these unjustly dead ghosts, they will have no way to attack you.
Since they can't do anything, there's no threat.
On the other hand, if you start a conversation, then things will be bad.
Although Zhong Kui has many tricks, but when he is harassed by these wrongly dead ghosts, taking action is secondary. The main thing is that it is troublesome, a waste of time, and annoying.
Lin Mo recalled all the sad things in his life at this moment, and then he tried not to laugh.
Because Zhong Kui said it and was amused, it could be considered a response to the other party.
You will still be entangled.
I didn’t expect it to be so difficult at the beginning.
This is more torturous than fighting a group of evil spirits.
Finally, a river appeared in front of them with a simple wooden bridge on the river. The two men stepped onto the bridge, and those dead ghosts stopped following them.
Lin Mo looked back at this time, wow, there were so many ghosts behind him, there must be hundreds of them.
"These are pitiful creatures. If you kill them, you will be punished by God."
Zhong Kui said something at this time and then continued on his way.
The next part of the journey will be much quieter, at least there won’t be any old ladies coming over to ask you if you have a boyfriend or not.
After a long time, a city appeared in front of them, with ghost soldiers standing at the gate.
Zhong Kui dragged Lin Mo and walked in at a rapid pace.
Passed successfully.
As a result, after walking a few steps, he heard someone shouting: Holy Lord, please stay.
Hearing this voice, Zhong Kui in front immediately thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Lin Mo, you will act according to circumstances later."
After saying that, a man in a green robe and with a stern face walked over.
