Because if it was just the Xinghua Hotel itself, it would be unlikely to have this ability. A hotel that has existed for a maximum of thirty or forty years cannot go back in time to a hundred years ago.

Just like a person's memory, it can only start from childhood and it is impossible for him to recall even his grandfather's memory.

Even in a weird place like the nightmare world, which defies common sense, something that violates basic logic cannot happen.

So the problem is unlikely to be with the hotel itself, but something else.

What will it be?

Before, Lin Mo and his brother checked into the hotel according to the normal routine, stayed in the room, and did not go out again.

So if anything happened outside at that time, they would not know.

"Brother, I don't think it was something that had been in the hotel before. Think about it, if it had always been there, it would be impossible for there to be no problems with the time travel so many times before."

"You mean, this time something entered the hotel and caused all this to happen?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

“That makes sense.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Mo was very happy when he heard this. After all, he got the recognition from his elder brother.

"But this matter has nothing to do with us. As I said before, if it does not threaten our safety, we should not get involved in other matters. Let's see if this time travel can end by itself. When everything returns to normal, we can go out. After all, we are bringing our mother with us this time."

"That's what I thought."

At this time, the two brothers looked at their mother in the bathtub and the young mother who was tied up by them, and decided to mind their own business and not cause trouble.

As for those damn Japanese soldiers, with Lao Hu taking action, there shouldn't be any problem.

The elder brother has great confidence in Lao Hu, so Lin Mo also thinks that there will be no problem with Lao Hu.

Just stay in the room and wait quietly for this unexpected weirdness to fade away on its own.

This is the plan for both of them.

But the problem is that plans are plans and reality is reality.

Sometimes, even if you don't cause trouble, you can't stop others from causing trouble for you.

At this time, there was a noise coming from outside the door. At first, the two didn't care. Whether it was a quarrel or a fight, it had nothing to do with them.

But as the noise grew louder, someone finally banged on the door.

"Open the door, open it quickly."

The elder brother didn't move. Lin Mo knew that he had to do the job of opening the door himself.

Standing up and straightening his clothes, Lin Mo touched the knife hanging on his waist, walked over and opened the door.

There were two men standing outside, dressed in black coats and black pants, with fierce looks on their faces. They were dressed in a very standard way, like the gangsters and scoundrels in the old society of the last century.

This kind of person is a gangster in his own territory, and a traitor and a running dog in an area occupied by bad guys.

"What do you do?"

The two men in black coats rushed in and looked around.

Lin Mo asked what you do.

"What are you doing? Are you blind?" A short man lifted one side of his coat, revealing the holster at his waist.

That old-fashioned leather holster with a gun inserted in it. Although only the gun handle can be seen, the murderous aura can still be felt from the cold texture of the black metal.

Lin Mo estimated that, if nothing unexpected happened, the other party was 100% a running dog traitor.

Lao Xiao ran in at this time and acted as a peacemaker. After what Lao Xiao said, Lin Mo understood.

Some armed forces from outside sneaked into the city and killed a Japanese commander. Now they are searching the whole city and the situation is in chaos.

Hotels and inns like this are the main targets of search.

Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible for members of a legitimate armed team to hide in such a place, but this does not hinder the search. For these traitors below, the search means it is time to make money.

Every time there is a search, regardless of whether the target person can be found, at least everyone can make a profit.

Therefore, the people below are looking forward to more such searches, as by then they will become rich and live a luxurious life in the near future.

The two detective team members narrowed their eyes and stared at the people in the room.

"Is there anyone in the bed?"

One person said something.

There was indeed someone on the bed.

The bathtub and the younger version of Mom are both on it.

One is a strange fish, and the other is a tied-up young woman. It would be difficult to deal with either of them if they were exposed.

So the brother had already hidden them all under the sheets.

If this is lifted up, the secret will be exposed.

Lin Mo didn't like the two traitors, so he was too lazy to explain.

Simply put, they really don't want to cause trouble, but if they are bullied, they definitely won't tolerate it.

So at this moment, Lin Mo was already thinking about how to kill these two traitors and then how to deal with their bodies.

Should it be hidden, eaten by ghosts, or thrown directly into the mirror world?

That place is a perfect place to dump bodies.

The two traitors, totally unaware that Lin Mo had already decided to kill him, were still arrogant and insisted on going over to lift the quilt to take a look.

At this time, a Japanese soldier saw the knife hidden behind Lin Mo and immediately asked what it was.

Lin Mo said it was a knife.

The Japanese soldier was stunned and was about to draw his gun, but for Lin Mo, drawing a gun was not as fast as drawing a sword at a distance of only three or two steps.

Besides, Lin Mo had practiced the sword-drawing technique before.

With a flash of the knife, the Japanese devil's head rolled to the ground.

The other traitor wanted to shout, but the guy over there had already pounced on him and gave him a 180-degree cervical surgery.

"Brother, your technique is on par with Old White's."

“I’ve practiced this before.”

Then the two brothers looked at Lao Xiao.

Old Xiao was already terrified, mainly because the Lin brothers acted too quickly, without any signs. It had only been two or three seconds from the start to now.

I wanted to run, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move at all.

At this time, Lin Mo wiped the knife and asked Guiying to deal with the body. He held the knife in one hand and hugged Lao Xiao with the other hand while talking.

"Old Xiao, I think you are quite honest and a good person. Just now we were troubled by these two guys, and you took the initiative to rescue us. Just for this, don't worry, we definitely can't kill you."

This was true and the tone was gentle, but it still gave people great fear and shock when they heard it.

Lao Xiao's lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but no words came out.

"Originally, we were planning to stay quietly in the house, but now, you see, this is really not what we expected. There is no way, not everything can go as we wish, this is life."

As he spoke, Lin Mo pulled Lao Xiao to the window.

"There's something I want to know. What is this place?" Lin Mo asked.

At this time, Lao Xiao finally found his tongue and replied stutteringly, "This is City N."

Lin Mo nodded.

He had already known it from the newspaper and just wanted to confirm it.

In fact, he has been observing Lao Xiao.

Lao Xiao is obviously a dead man.

But the other party didn't seem to remember these.

And everyone met here was dead, including the mother and son who were killed before, the Japanese soldiers, and the traitors who came up to search just now.

This is a world of the dead.

So Lin Mote was curious, did Lao Xiao and the others know that they were dead?

In fact, the verification method is simple, just ask directly.

"I'm going to go out for a moment."

The elder brother said something at this time.

Lin Mo nodded.

"Go early and come back early."

The brother went out to deal with the other traitors in the hotel.

After all, if we kill these two, we can't let the others go. Otherwise, the problem will be discovered sooner or later. In this case, we might as well take the initiative.

Although there was no discussion, Lin Mo and Lin Yuan both knew what to do next and what the other was thinking.

It's all tacitly understood.

"Old Xiao, do you still remember how you died?"

Lin Mo suddenly asked.

Old Xiao was stunned.

Lin Mo was observing carefully, because some ghosts didn't know that they were dead. If this was pointed out at this time, they would immediately recall the past, then reveal their deathly appearance, showing horrible resentment and malice, and in all likelihood would immediately attack the people around them.

But Lao Xiao’s performance is obviously different.

He was still a little at a loss, with confusion in his eyes.

"How did you die? I've never died before."

"You really don't remember?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, good man, please let me go, okay? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about you and that good man killing someone. Those people in the detective team deserve to be killed. I have hated them for a long time, but I just can't afford to offend them."

Lin Mo looked carefully at Lao Xiao, who had a sincere face, and then let him go.

“That’s interesting.”

Lin Mo found this place very special. Although the previous test did not make Lao Xiao reveal his ghost appearance and recover his memory, it only made it clear how weird this place was.

Obviously, memory recall is more likely here.

Whose memory is it? Lin Mo suddenly realized something at this time.

Their appearance here might not be accidental, so their original idea of ​​minding their own business and staying in the house honestly was problematic in itself.

This is indeed the case. If nothing else, trouble will come to you.

Just as I was thinking about it, a gunshot was suddenly heard.

This broke Lin Mo's train of thought.

It also made him frown.

After Lin Mo gave some instructions, Xiaoyu appeared beside the bed. As for Lin Mo himself, he had already rushed out the door.

There are gunshots here, most likely coming from my brother's side.

The elder brother didn't have a gun, so it could only be those people from the detective team. Although Lin Mo knew that the elder brother was very capable, the guns in the nightmare world might not be able to hurt him.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

That was his own brother. Lin Mo would not let the shooter go even if he got a little scratched.

He was very fast and found his brother upstairs.

There were several bodies lying on the ground.

They are all detectives wearing black coats.

The way they died was similar, their necks were broken.

Obviously, the brother's hobbies are similar to Lao Bai's, and they can form a good pair.

The brother stood there, staring at a room.

He had a gunshot wound in his arm.

Lin Mo ran over to take a look, luckily it was just a scratch.

"Brother, be careful. The guns here can kill people."

Lin Yuan said with a serious expression.

At first glance, this statement definitely seems problematic. Aren’t guns used to kill people?

But in fact, in the nightmare world, the deterrent power and lethality of weapons such as guns are far less than in the real world.

Because most nightmares are not afraid of gunfire.

Unless he's a serial killer.

And he's just a low-end murderer. The higher-end ones are crazy and have some curses. Even if his body is beaten into a sieve, he can still come and break your neck.

Most of the time, guns in the nightmare world are only used to intimidate ordinary people.

The elder brother naturally knew this, so his reminder at this time was obviously saying that the guns here were different.

There weren't many guests here, and at this moment a few of them were looking at the two Lin brothers in horror in the corridor.

"Go back to your rooms."

Lin Mo waved his hand.

These people ran back and closed the door as if they had been pardoned.

Now it's quiet.

At the same time, the brother turned his head to look at the window over there, and a dark shadow climbed up, broke through the window and got in.

It’s Lao Hu.

My brother asked Lao Hu to deal with those Japanese soldiers before, and they should have been dealt with by now.

But Lao Hu looks a bit miserable.

He was shot several times and was bleeding profusely.

You have to know that a nightmare of Lao Hu's level cannot be hurt by guns.

But now it was not only injured, but also seriously injured.

Obviously this fits with what my brother said before.

"First, collect all the guns on the ground."

Lin Mo knew that perhaps because of the special rules here, the power of firearms here was so great. Now that he knew this, he had to be on guard and careful.

And if it's powerful, you can put it away and use it on your side.

These detective team members all used pistols, seven of them, plus the two before, a total of nine pistols. The bullets were not counted and there was no time to count them at the moment.

Because my brother said there was something wrong with the room on the third floor.

Lin Mo also noticed the problem without his brother telling him.

Although the door was closed, an extremely strong obsession still seeped out from the crack.

Lin Mo has come across many obsessions.

From the initial old Chinese doctor and the delivery boy to the later obsession nightmare, I have encountered at least a dozen types. Of course, the degree of obsession is different, but obsession has one thing in common.

That is stronger than other nightmares.

And much stronger.

"There is an obsession here." Lin Mo said.

The brother nodded.

"Go in and take a look?"

"OK."

Lin Mo walked over and knocked on the door.

There are also special methods to deal with obsession. The first step is to find out what caused the other person's obsession.

Some do it to cure illness; some do it to make money by delivering food; some do it to wait for someone to come home. In short, it is all an obsession caused by something.

The degree of desire for this thing determines the strength of the obsession.

Therefore, the best way to deal with obsessions is to satisfy them.

For example, if someone wants to be treated for an illness, let it be treated; if someone is delivering food, cooperate with them to pick up and deliver the food; if someone is waiting for someone, help them find that person.

Lin Mo is definitely experienced in doing this.

There was no response when I knocked on the door.

Either the people inside didn't want to open it, or they didn't hear it.

Lin Mo thinks the first possibility is more likely.

After thinking for a while, he knocked again and said, "I am Lao Xiao's relative. The person who came to search has left."

Pretending to be Lao Xiao's relative was to gain trust, and saying that the person who had just searched had left was also a guess. The other party did not open the door because he might be afraid of being discovered by the detective team.

Blind guess.

If you guess wrong, try another strategy.

As a result, at this moment, the door clicked and opened.

A pale man showed half of his face from the crack of the open door and looked at Lin Mo warily.

Lin Mo was also looking at the other person.

He was a young man, no more than twenty years old. The paleness on his face was not the result of his appearance, but the kind of paleness that comes from being sick or having lost a lot of blood.

Although he looked weak, his eyes were firm.

Anyway, Lin Mo had never seen such obsession before.

In the past, because obsession had taken over, I could see a certain madness and brutality in their eyes.

But the young man in front of him doesn't.

The most important thing is that I don’t feel any malice from the other party.

Maybe he found out that all the detectives had left.

In fact, the bodies were taken away by his elder brother, so the young man was obviously relieved.

"Are you hurt?"

Lin Mo made small talk, he felt that this obsession might be the key.

Among the many obsessions Lin Mo had seen, whether it was the old Chinese doctor or the delivery boy, or the various obsessions he encountered later, none of them could compare to the one in front of him.

If obsession could be quantified, the old Chinese doctor and the delivery boy would earn at most a few thousand, while the one in front of me would earn at least over 100,000.

It's totally not on the same order of magnitude.

So even though Lin Mo appeared to be very calm, he was actually quite nervous at the moment.

This is definitely a top-level obsession.

If this obsession wanted to do something, Lin Mo felt that nothing could stop it.

"I'm fine. By the way, is there anyone selling cigarettes outside?"

The young man inside the door asked.

It can be seen that the other party is extremely cautious.

While they were talking, the door was half open, revealing only half of their faces.

Although I couldn't sense any malice, I could sense the danger.

It's that feeling of having a gun pointed at your head or a knife at your neck.

It might be that the other party is holding a loaded pistol in his hand, pointing it at your head through the door. If something goes wrong, a hole will be made in your forehead.

Dangerous, but not malicious.

This means that the other party is just protecting themselves. It is a defensive measure and is not directed against any particular person because the other party does not trust anyone.

It is recognized that Lin Mo has good acting skills.

Even when facing danger, he could remain calm and composed, because others couldn't tell his true thoughts.

"I don't know whether the cigarette seller has come or not. I was upstairs just now, so I can go and check for you."

"That's great. If you have any, please tell the other party and tell him that we need to buy Lao Dao brand cigarettes from Room 302 and ask him to deliver them up."

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

Lin Mo turned and left after he finished speaking.

He didn't look back.

The young man in room 302 watched Lin Mo walk down the stairs before closing the door.

At the bottom of the stairs, the older brother had a worried look on his face. Seeing Lin Mo coming down safely, he hurried over to greet him.

Lin Mo said don't talk for now and go downstairs to talk.

When we got to the first floor, the old man said that it was very dangerous just now. He didn't expect that the obsession inside the door was so strong. It was definitely a top-level obsession.

"I suggest you don't get involved with this kind of top-level obsession. If you really get involved, it's hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster." The older brother looked worried.

As a result, Lin Mo shook his head and said it was too late.

"Although this obsession is extremely strong, he does not have any malicious intent. I guess it was this guy who brought us to this memory flashback of a hundred years ago. Only this kind of top-level obsession has this ability."

"What are your plans?"

"First get in touch with him, then get to know him, and see if I can fulfill this obsessive wish. I feel like if I don't help him, there will be a big mess."
