Chapter 419 The Endless Cycle in Guimen Village [5000 Big Chapter, Please Vote for Me]
"Are these two things yours?" Yang Ke was shocked when he saw Lin Mo put the weird tablet into the weird cardboard box.
When Meng Buding saw an extra cardboard box in his yard before, Yang Ke was very scared and panicked.
He didn't know who this thing belonged to, let alone how it got in.
It was as if the cardboard box was already there.
Yang Ke has a relatively calm temperament. He observes things beforehand and knows that it is not advisable to panic when something happens, nor is it advisable to talk too much.
So he initially judged that the cardboard box should be some kind of unknown 'weird' thing.
Of course, he also thought that the cardboard box might belong to Chen Bing or Lin Mo who came in later, but he thought it was unlikely.
Who knew, reality soon proved that this unlikely possibility was actually true.
Lin Mo told Yang Ke that these two were not ‘things’.
"One is my good friend, and the other is also my good friend." Lin Mo touched the cardboard box. Although he had not communicated with the cardboard box yet, this thing helped him a lot.
To say they are good friends is an understatement.
Of course, Lin Mo is not particularly clear about the purpose of the cardboard box yet, but it doesn't matter, this matter will be clarified sooner or later.
At this stage, Lin Mo regarded the cardboard box as a storage box, so it was definitely right to put Lin Nan's tablet in it first.
This time Lin Mo and Chen Bing had three goals.
Lin Nan, the missing expert, and the situation in Guimen Village.
So far, the missing experts are all dead and there is no way to rescue them; Lin Nan has found it. Although it is just a tablet, the other party's consciousness must be stored in this tablet, so take it back first; the last one is to thoroughly investigate Guimen Village , this matter is relatively the most difficult.
Because the situation in Guimen Village is very special.
This is a village blocked by very powerful resentment, which can only be entered but not exited. The source of all the weirdness and terror in the village is related to the unjust case of Shen He a hundred years ago.
Lin Mo already understood a lot through the evil spirit Lao Ba whom Xiaohu had devoured, but it was not enough.
The Yang Ke in front of him is undoubtedly a very good source of information.
Once they really figured out the situation in Guimen Village, Lin Mo and Chen Bing's mission was completed.
"Captain Yang, come here, let's talk!" Lin Mo greeted Yang Ke and asked others for advice. Of course, he had to be respectful. There was nothing wrong with calling him Commander Yang.
Although the other party is only the leader of the village security team, he is also an official.
Yang Ke is not stupid. He has been in Guimen Village for a hundred years. In terms of age, he is already over a hundred years old. It is said that people become better with age...
"You want to inquire about the situation in the village?" Yang Ke asked.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Promise me something and I'll tell you." Yang Ke negotiated the terms directly.
"What's going on?" Chen Bing was also sitting next to him. He guessed that Yang Ke wanted them to take him out of this village. After all, he already knew that Yang Ke was trapped here forever.
No one else would be able to bear this kind of torture.
"Help me destroy that group of tomb robbers!" Yang Ke said through gritted teeth at this time.
Chen Bing was a little surprised. He had never been to Zhang Carpenter's house, so he didn't know much about the situation there and the tomb robber Yang Ke mentioned. But Lin Mo knew, and even knew what evil things the tomb robbers had done.
Lin Mo didn't waste any time and called Xiaohu out directly, asking him to spit out the evil spirit.
"Captain Yang, look, I have killed the eighth among the tomb robbers and made him into a ghost. I have already formed a quarrel with those tomb robbers. If you don't tell me, I will have to fight with them." Fight to the death."
Lin Mo's move really worked.
Yang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the evil spirit Lao Ba.
"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for so many years, and this time I finally got the chance." Mainly because Yang Ke also saw that neither Lin Mo nor Chen Bing were ordinary people, and their methods were extremely high.
Especially Lin Mo, the opponent was able to survive the three-day death curse. Although in his opinion, luck was the main reason, but sometimes, luck was also a part of strength.
"Okay, I will tell you about the things in this village. Over the years, I have been unable to talk to others. I have long been depressed."
Yang Ke began to tell next.
Lin Mo already knew a lot of the content, such as the tomb robbers who entered the village a hundred years ago, and the story of Zhang Carpenter colluding with the tomb robbers, killing his wife and sinking her into the river.
At this time, Lin Mo told Yang Ke that the real Carpenter Zhang had been killed long ago, and the one you mentioned was the second in command of the tomb robbers in disguise.
Hearing this, Yang Ke was stunned and even more angry.
"I just said, Carpenter Zhang is a simple man, how could he do such a thing? It turns out that all the problems lie with that group of tomb robbers. These bastards, I can't wait to eat their meat and drink their wine Blood, if it weren’t for them, our village wouldn’t have turned into this hell on earth.”
Next, Yang Ke said a lot of things, some of which Lin Mo knew, and some of which he didn't know either.
This includes why Guimen Village turned into the terrifying state it is now.
"At the beginning, many villagers remained normal. Except for a few people who were killed by the gang of tomb robbers, no one knew what happened, including me."
"I was not in the village the day Carpenter Zhang's wife was drowned in the river. I came back the next night, but something had happened. After I came back, the village was so quiet that even the dogs didn't bark. I later found out that everyone was dead. Well, I was also attacked by someone. After falling down, I found myself in this place..."
Yang Ke looked up at the village that had been shrouded in gray fog again, and shook his head: "Although this looks like Guimen Village, I know that it is not. This is the underworld, and this is hell."
Lin Mo knew that for some reason at that time, someone in the village was driven mad by the pollution source and became extremely murderous. Yang Ke must have been accidentally poisoned.
But then Yang Ke told Lin Mo that the person who attacked him was not the crazy villagers, but 'Carpenter Zhang'.
The real Carpenter Zhang is dead.
The Zhang Carpenter Yang Ke mentioned was the second in command of the tomb robber gang.
Lin Mo suddenly realized something was wrong.
If according to what Yang Ke said, the second master was still able to sneak attack others at that time, it means that the other party could definitely fly away with the treasure found in the cemetery.
Then why are you trapped in Guimen Village again?
What's going on?
There must be something wrong.
Yang Ke went on to say that he experienced many dangers after waking up in the nightmare world, but he was lucky and hid in the village ancestral hall during the first three-day death curse.
Those tablets protected him.
"The so-called three-day death curse refers to Mrs. Zhang who was sunk into the river. She was so resentful that she would go crazy every three days. Every time she went crazy, unless it was the villagers who were infected by her resentment, other villagers would be affected by her. Kill, no one will be spared.”
"There have been many outsiders over the years. Some of them were contaminated by resentment and became one of those monsters. Most of them were killed."
Chen Bing said at this time: "People who were killed by innocent people naturally have grievances. Over the past hundred years, the grievances here have accumulated more and more, which will form this gray mist. I really can't imagine that it will take such a long time." How many people have died here over time?”
What Chen Bing said is also true.
Moreover, the number is extremely difficult to count.
After all, the time span is too long. In a hundred years, especially during the most stormy years of China, it was almost normal for people to die.
Maybe there are people who have fled and died here in a steady stream. The number could be hundreds or thousands.
The result is that the more people die, the greater the resentment.
It finally became what it is today.
"Zhang's grievances were too great. She wanted revenge, but she couldn't get into Carpenter Zhang's house. There was something more terrifying in that yard. I saw it once a long time ago. Zhang had a fight with that monster and suffered a big loss. One point was wiped out. No, it wasn’t almost, it was probably because the other party showed mercy, that’s why Zhang ran away.”
Yang Ke said another shocking thing.
Lin Mo asked Yang Ke if the terrifying existence in Zhang Carpenter's house was the corpse of his mother and daughter.
Yang Ke nodded: "It was a female corpse with a big belly. I was looking at it from a distance. Her legs were like lead. They couldn't move. It was really scary."
Lin Mo frowned.
The corpses of mother and daughter could kill Zhang, but they let her go on purpose. What kind of drama is this?
If it was done intentionally, it must have a purpose.
Thinking of the fact that the second boss insisted on staying here despite being able to fly away with his treasure, Lin Mo felt like he had grasped something key.
"By the way, what's going on with the theater in the village?"
Chen Bing asked.
This is also a point that Lin Mo is more curious about.
Yang Ke said that there was a stage in the village itself, but it was a time of war and chaos, and there were not many places to sing throughout the year. As for the troupe who sang "The Injustice of Dou E", Yang Ke didn't know much about it.
But no matter how little he knew, he still knew more than Lin Mo and Chen Bing.
"The troupe has a strange origin. It came the day before and is related to the group of tomb robbers. Every time it sings an opera, it will attract all the villagers and monsters. I once saw that at the end of the play, the characters in the play were beheaded. After the villain is eliminated, the villagers' resentment will dissipate somewhat. I suspect that the role of this troupe is to stabilize the situation, like a weight to adjust the balance."
Yang Ke's analysis is very reliable, and the metaphor is also very appropriate.
Lin Mo thought it made sense.
If the current situation in Guimen Village is what the group of tomb robbers want to see, then everything will be explained.
Of course, not all tomb robbers may know this, at least Lao Ba does not.
Lin Mo analyzed that the manipulator behind this incident should be the second boss pretending to be Carpenter Zhang. It is even possible that other tomb robbers were kept in the dark by him.
The situation is now relatively clear. From Lin Mo's own observations, plus the information told by Negi Laoba and Yang Ke, the secrets of Guimen Village have slowly emerged.
Guimen Village has been trapped in a seemingly endless 'dead cycle' since a hundred years ago.
The most terrifying resentment of the Zhang family is so high that it cannot be resolved even if it takes a hundred years, and it is getting worse. Coupled with some other powerful nightmares, it can be said that except when singing opera, the village is extremely dangerous.
Although a troupe sang "The Injustice of Dou E" to balance the grievances, it was only a slight balance, delaying the cycle of these nightmares to three days.
That's why Guimen Village has the saying "Three-day Death Curse", which means that even if you are lucky and come in on the first day, you will die on the third day.
Lin Mo has experienced it personally, so he knows how terrifying the three-day death curse is.
If it weren't for the light of the red lantern that could block those nightmares, Lin Mo would have fallen into trouble. No matter how powerful he was, it would be useless.
With the grievances accumulated for a hundred years, he must not be on the same level as others.
After the three-day death curse struck, there were another three days of silence, singing opera and listening to music. Finally, resentment accumulated and broke out again.
What goes around comes around.
This is an endless loop.
If this is the case, it's not bad, because this kind of relatively balanced dead cycle has been formed within Guimen Village and has been maintained for a hundred years. Then there is a high probability that it will continue like this in the future.
Therefore, Qianlong City should not be affected.
But is that really what happened?
Lin Mo was very skeptical.
Because he felt that the secrets hidden in Guimen Village had not been fully unearthed by him.
At least he didn't know the details about the tomb-robbing gang in Zhang Carpenter's house and the corpses of his mother and daughter.
Judging from the troupe's replaceable face, the troupe and the second boss are inseparable, and the second boss is the manipulator behind the whole thing. In all likelihood, the other party is playing a big game.
Lin Mo wanted to find out the inside story of this matter.
Chen Bing came over at this time and whispered: "Lin Mo, the situation has been figured out. Lin Nan's consciousness has also been found. Our mission is completed."
The implication is that they need to leave.
If they wait another day, Professor Xie outside will ask Granny Hongxian to drag them out.
Of course, you have to hide it in a cardboard box in advance.
Lin Mo nodded.
This was a plan they had made a long time ago, and there was definitely no problem. However, there was still more than a day left before the evacuation, and this time obviously could not be wasted.
It would be best if we could get rid of that group of tomb robbers.
After all, this matter was also promised to Yang Ke.
Lin Mo asked Yang Ke if he had any plan or good way to deal with that group of tomb robbers since he had been here for so long.
Yang Ke said no.
"If I had my way, I wouldn't be able to wait until now."
Lin Mo and Yang Ke looked at each other. They looked at each other for a while, and then Lin Mo said, "In other words, you expect me to come up with something?"
"What do you think?" The expression on Yang Ke's face seemed to be saying, what the hell you said is all nonsense.
"Let me think about it." Lin Mo couldn't think of any good ideas at once.
It seems simple to eliminate the group of tomb robbers. The most direct way is to rush over and fight with famous swords.
The problem is, it can't be beaten.
That mother-in-law and daughter corpses were so terrifying.
The loss Lin Mo suffered last time is still fresh in his memory. Xiaoyu's wrist injury and Xiaohu also suffered injuries. It was good luck at that time and he escaped.
This time, even if Chen Bing and Yang Ke were added, from Lin Mo's point of view, he was still no match for the mother and daughter corpses.
That thing is so evil.
It was also for this reason that Yang Ke hated those tomb robbers, but he still couldn't do anything for so many years.
If you can't beat it, this is the biggest flaw.
Chen Bing had never seen the corpses of his mother and daughter, so it was hard for him to say anything at this time.
Lin Mo touched his chin and muttered at this time: "The corpses of mother and daughter are so powerful. It stands to reason that if the group of tomb robbers wanted to leave here, they would have left long ago. Could it be that they didn't want to?"
Immediately, I got the old man out and asked.
"Yes, of course we want to, but we can't break out, and the bodies of the mother and daughter are not completely under control. The second master said that for now, we can only maintain this balance."
Lao Ba didn't know much. What he said was the same as what he didn't say.
But it is certain that the second boss lied, and Lao Ba and other tomb robbers may not know it.
At least Lao Ba and the others don't know about the troupe.
The second master didn't tell them, which shows that in the eyes of the second master, other accomplices may also be pawns.
At this time, Lin Mo still wanted to ask questions, but suddenly, he heard a faint scream.
The sound sounded like a rabbit barking.
Lin Mo rushed out at that moment.
By the way, there's this rabbit.
Lin Mo had completely forgotten about this guy before, and he only remembered it when he heard the screams.
"The rabbit has also experienced the three-day death curse. It is not dead?" Lin Mo thought in his mind while running in the direction of the sound.
He was very fast, and soon he saw a little person running towards him in front of him.
If you look closely, it's just a rabbit.
This guy was obviously frightened, screaming and running in panic, as if something scary was chasing him.
Seeing Lin Mo, Rabbit trembled and ran over excitedly.
"Brother, help!"
With a bounce, the rabbit dove into Lin Mo's arms, trembling with fear.
From the looks of it, the rabbit was not injured at all except for a little bit of dirt.
At the same time, in the fog ahead, the broken Brother Man staggered over.
Brother Man at this time was different from the one he met at the beginning.
He seemed to absorb something.
If you look carefully, it's A Bin.
Part of A Bin's body has been fused with Brother Man. Countless blood threads pierced A Bin's body, arms, chest, neck, and eyes.
A Bin, who was originally normal, now looks like Brother Man, with ferocious eyes and resentment all over his body.
Behind Lin Mo, Chen Bing and Yang Ke also chased after him.
Yang Ke saw this scene and shook his head: "They have been completely contaminated by resentment. Leave quickly. Monsters like this will not stop fighting when they encounter people."
As if to confirm Yang Ke's words, Brother Man over there noticed them and rushed towards them with a scream.
In Lin Mo's opinion, the horror of this nightmare in Guimen Village can be ranked among the top four.
In Guimen Village, the most terrifying thing is the corpse of mother, son and daughter. The second one is of course Zhang Carpenter's wife, the third one is the man who was beaten to death with a stick, and Brother Man ranks fourth.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Lin Mo saw a problem. Brother Man's movements were a bit weird, as if something was blocking him.
After all, under normal circumstances, with the strength of a nightmare like Brother Man, if you want to kill the rabbit, the latter will have no chance to escape.
"It's A Bin!"
Lin Mo reacted immediately, and with a thought in his heart, he drew out the tiger bone sickle and rushed over.
