Chapter 794 ‘It’ Is Calling Me [5000 Monthly Vote Please]
As the saying goes, the alarm bell always rings. The sound of the bell has a warning function, just like the current alarm.
Many people get panicked for no reason when they hear sirens.
It's the same thing when I hear the bell ringing now.
In the room, Liu Gang pointed to his ear with a horrified expression. Does that mean you all heard it?
Lin Mo nodded.
He listened carefully and immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Not surprisingly, the bell was rung in the nightmare world.
After falling asleep, the sound of the bell was indeed clearer. Before, it seemed to be separated by several layers of paper, and the sound was still a bit dull, but now, it is much clearer.
Taking out Liu Jia's doll, Lin Mo didn't need to say anything. Liu Jia, who heard the bell, had already burst the cloth and cotton and appeared with scissors.
She looked around with her eyes wide open.
"Ghost clock!"
Liu Jia is most familiar with ghost clocks.
She guarded the Ghost Pavilion for several years, ringing the bell every day.
It can be said that no one is more familiar with the ghost clock than her.
Since Liu Jia said it was a ghost clock, it must be.
"It's calling me!"
After saying that, Liu Jia immediately walked out, and Lin Mo hurriedly followed.
He also wanted to take a look.
The bells are melodious, and you can hear them no matter how big or small you are in Wo Niu Market.
But when it comes to where the sound comes from, no one can tell. It feels like the bell is everywhere. If you want to find the source of the sound, you can only try your luck.
But Liu Jia is not running around.
She seemed to know a certain method. After leaving the house, she ran in a certain direction with a very clear purpose.
She ran very fast.
If Lin Mo didn't have black leather shoes, he might not be able to catch up.
After running a long distance, Liu Jia suddenly stopped and then crashed into a wall next to him.
Lin Mo thought she was crazy at first.
After all, who has nothing to do but hit the wall? But when Liu Jia rushed directly into the wall, Lin Mo reacted.
This wall is fake.
He followed suit and rushed in.
For a moment, it was like passing through a barrier like a water film.
Looking again, the surroundings are overflowing with light, mapping the entire space in an unrealistic way, and all the sources of light are emanating from a bronze bell in front.
"Ghost clock!"
Lin Mo's eyes lit up after seeing it.
It really is.
He had seen imitations similar to the Ghost Clock in the mirror world of the Ghost Pavilion, so he could recognize them.
At this moment, a man is ringing the bell over there.
This is a young man, dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a piece of wood and tapping regularly.
But as Liu Jia approached, the man ringing the bell immediately stopped, smiled at Liu Jia, dropped the wood, and stumbled out.
It's like losing one's soul, and it's like completing some kind of work and retiring with success.
Lin Mo walked to Liu Jia and asked what was going on.
"The ghost clock is not something that ordinary people can ring. If an ordinary person rings it once, it will damage and disrupt their original spirit and memory, and they will directly become crazy."
Hearing this, Lin Mo naturally thought of the six lunatics from before.
It turns out that they were the ones who rang the bell six times before.
The man who left just now was the seventh.
At this moment, the ghost clock is hanging in the air, emitting soft light, and these lights are like randomly drawn lines, bending and spreading in a certain arc.
There seems to be an illusion of a miracle coming.
"Why do they ring the bell?" Lin Mo asked again. Liu Jia can only answer these questions because she is the person who knows the ghost clock best.
Liu Jia shook his head: "It's not that they wanted to ring the bell, but the ghost clock asked them to ring it. The ghost clock is asking for help."
"Help?"
Lin Mo didn't quite understand.
The meaning of asking for help means that something is threatening the safety of the ghost clock; or it is for people to discover its existence. Of course, there may be both possibilities.
At this moment, Liu Jia had walked closer, reached out and pressed on the ghost clock, and then closed his eyes.
Buzz!
At this moment, the ghost clock made a completely different buzzing sound than before, and it seemed to be vibrating.
Lin Mo also wanted to get closer, but he found that there seemed to be an invisible wall around the ghost clock, isolating him.
It seems that Gui Zhong only recognizes Liu Jia.
At this moment, one person and one clock seem to be communicating, spiritually, neither heard nor seen.
Lin Mo spread his hands and walked around.
It's pitch dark here. It doesn't look like a normal place. It should be a special space opened by the ghost clock, hidden within the wall. You can only walk in if you find a special location.
In other words, Ghost Bell is indeed hiding.
Who is it hiding from?
Lin Mo began to speculate at this time.
Previously in the Ghost Pavilion, the Ghost Bell suddenly disappeared. Is it understandable that the other party was taken away by someone, or stolen?
The ghost clock only exists in the nightmare world, and it is not easy to get it from the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs. Judging from the physical location, the abandoned mine in the eastern suburbs of Luoyan City is 500 kilometers north of Woniu City. Did someone drag Gui Zhong all the way here? If so, this person is not simple.
The other party's destination may not be Wo Niu City, he may just be passing by, but Gui Zhong finds an opportunity to escape and hides here.
Maybe he hid it for a long time before tentatively controlling some ordinary people to ring the bell as a warning?
Lin Mo found that it was actually very interesting to speculate on something based on clues, and it was easy to get stuck in it. Just like now, he especially wanted to figure out the secret behind this matter.
Just as Liu Jia and Gui Zhong finished communicating and retreated, Lin Mo came over and explained what he had deduced.
Liu Jia looked very surprised.
She said Lin Mo, you are very powerful, even Xiameng was confused.
"What does it mean to be blind? This is my reasoning. So, someone really stole the ghost clock?"
Liu Jia nodded.
"That person is not simple. He can sneak into the ghost pavilion silently and steal the ghost bell. I can't do this anyway." Liu Jia rarely lamented that he was inferior.
Lin Mo asked her if she knew who did it.
Liu Jia shook his head.
Obviously either Gui Zhong didn't tell her, or Gui Zhong himself didn't know.
Lin Mo was still a little confused about something. He was a man who had to ask questions, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable holding it in.
"Jiajia, this ghost clock is struck with such great fanfare that the sound can be heard throughout Wo Niu City. Isn't it afraid of attracting its captors again?"
"Who says it's not afraid? Gui Zhong just said that it was almost scared to death. It has been living in trepidation during this period. If I don't come back, it really can't resist anymore."
"Did it really say that?" Lin Mo glanced at the big clock and expressed doubt.
"Really, if you don't believe me, ask yourself." After saying that, Liu Jia took Lin Mo's hand, dragged him to the ghost clock, and asked him to put his ear against the big clock.
This time there was no obstacle and it was posted smoothly.
Not to mention, Lin Mo actually heard a voice.
This voice sounded directly from his mind, and his tone was quite crazy.
You're such a loser. If Jiajia hadn't pulled you over, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you, and then I would have greeted you with dirty words.
Because the spray was so sudden, Lin Mo was immediately scolded and confused.
His first reaction was that this ghost clock was really lacking in quality.
Lin Mo is a man who must avenge himself. If someone hits him, he will hit him back; if someone scolds him, he will definitely scold him back even more.
So he yelled at the ghost clock.
Liu Jia said, if you scold it like this, it won’t hear you, so you have to use your mental strength to scold it.
Mental strength?
Me too.
Lin Mo is a serious mental illness. Not only did he receive a period of mental training in a lunatic asylum on the other side of the ocean, but he was also blessed by the 'bewitchment' curse.
At the moment, he stared at the big clock, stuck his chin in his mouth, and began to curse people in the spiritual realm.
This kind of confrontation is obviously more harmonious. At least except for the person involved, other people will not be forced to contaminate their ears.
Liu Jia looked around at this time. She took a dozen steps outside and then stood still.
At this moment, there was a barrier visible to the naked eye in front of her.
It's a bit like a filmed car window glass that allows you to see the outside scene.
At this moment, a figure was standing outside.
The figure was very tall, about two meters tall, and stood motionless.
Liu Jia stared at the other party with squinted eyes.
She knew that if she didn't enter this special space, people outside wouldn't be able to see what was going on inside.
From the outside, only a wall is visible.
Although there was a barrier, Liu Jia could feel the terrifying figure outside. In the past, Liu Jia rarely felt this way.
There are very few people who can scare her in terms of terror.
Except for Lin Mo’s old brother Lin Yuan.
Then, there was this figure outside the barrier.
Liu Jia suddenly became nervous.
She clutched the scissors tightly. If the other party found the entrance here and wanted to come in, she would have to attack first.
Liu Jia even suspected that this figure was the one who stole the ghost clock here.
In just a few seconds, she felt like ten minutes had passed.
The figure outside slowly walked away, seemingly looking for something. Liu Jia estimated that if the other person was the person who stole the ghost clock, then what he was looking for must be the ghost clock.
"We can't stay here any longer, otherwise we will be found sooner or later." Liu Jia came back, only to see Lin Mo listless and a little wilted.
When I asked, I found out that I lost the fight.
Liu Jia advised him to be more open-minded. It's not a big deal if you can't scold the other party. Besides, what you lost was only one breath, so why bother to be as experienced as this thing.
Lin Mo waved his hand: "You don't understand."
After saying that, he turned to communicate with Gui Zhong mentally, and probably started to say harsh words, such as "wait" and so on.
After the incident, Liu Jia asked him what he said. Lin Mo said that he asked the ghost clock to wait, and he would scold it bloody next time.
Liu Jia told what happened to the figure just now.
"Why didn't that figure come in?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"How can it be so easy?" Liu Jia smiled: "There is only one entrance here, and this entrance can be changed at will according to some special means. It will not stay in one place forever. Only those who understand some principles of formations can find the entrance. "
Lin Mo glanced behind Liu Jia, pointed, and said that he must understand.
Just now, a tall and thin figure walked in from outside.
The moment the other party came in, the ghost clock made a buzzing sound. It seemed that he was so frightened that this special hiding space began to fall into pieces.
Liu Jia looked back and her pupils shrank to the size of needle eyes.
The tall and thin figure has dark skin. He should be of South Asian ethnicity. He is a bit like an ascetic over there. He is the kind of person who wears rags and doesn’t take a shower all year round. He likes to smear ashes on his body and do some performance art that ordinary people can’t understand. .
"Still a foreign friend?" Lin Mo muttered.
Although he said it very casually, Lin Mo also knew that the other party had bad intentions. Looking at the cowardly appearance of the ghost clock, he knew that this person should have stolen it.
That is the enemy.
Lin Mo took out the tiger bone sickle and stared at the opponent.
At the same time, be prepared to call out Xiaoyu and Sister Yue at any time for a big battle.
The ascetic-like weirdo opposite was also looking at Lin Mo at the moment.
There was actually a hint of fear in his eyes, as well as some other unspeakable emotions. In short, it felt like seeing an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Lin, when did you come back?" the ascetic said, his accent, standard Mandarin, very authentic.
If you close your eyes and listen, you might think it's a radio announcer.
In one sentence, it contains too much information.
Lin Mo responded quickly.
"Did you steal the ghost clock?"
rhetorical question.
In just a few seconds, Lin Mo analyzed the other party's words thoroughly.
The ascetic directly called himself "Lin", and it felt like meeting an acquaintance. But the problem was, Lin Mo was sure that he had never seen him before, and he definitely didn't know him.
That would be a mistake.
But the probability of getting both the appearance and the last name wrong is very small.
In addition, Liu Jia said just now that only people who know some special formations can enter this place. So, if you want to know the so-called formations, you don't even understand them. Liu Jia understood that it was her brother Lin Yuan who taught her, so she naturally connected her brother Lin Yuan with the ascetic monk in front of her.
In addition, the other party recognized the wrong person, so Lin Mo instantly understood that the other party regarded him as his elder brother Lin Yuan.
So he asked back, switching from defense to offense to see if he could get any clues.
"What is stealing? You didn't ask me to get it..." At this point, the ascetic suddenly realized something, then frowned and stared at Lin Mo carefully.
"You are not Lin!"
Revealed.
But it doesn't matter, Lin Mo already knows a lot of secrets from just a few words from the other party.
The other party knows my brother, and may even know where he is, otherwise it would be impossible to say, 'When did you come back?' Also, the other party took the ghost clock because he was entrusted by the elder brother, that is, the elder brother sent him.
This is enough.
The next moment, the ascetic suddenly pushed from the air, and Lin Mo and Liu Jia fell backwards.
It felt like being pushed hard by the other person.
The strange thing is that after falling, there is no feeling of landing on the ground, but it actually keeps falling downwards.
At the same time, his vision went dark, as if he was falling into a dark abyss.
Lin Mo heard the sound of iron chains colliding, and then an iron chain quickly fell down and wrapped around his waist.
This time, it stopped falling.
It's a cursed chain.
Then the chain was pulled upwards, and Lin Mo felt that his eyes were dim and bright, and he returned to the previous position.
what happened?
Lin Mo glanced briefly, and saw that the ascetic opposite was still in place, seemingly not moving. On his side, Xiao Yu had already appeared on his own to confront the ascetic.
Liu Jia glanced at Lin Mo and said, "The other party just pushed us into the second level of dreamland. It was Xiaoyu who pulled you out. Otherwise, you would be in trouble."
The second level of dreams?
This was the first time Lin Mo heard about it.
"Jiajia, how did you get out?"
"Me? I crawled out on my own. I've been to the second dreamland before, so I'm familiar with it."
At this moment, Xiaoyu's black skirt had spread to all directions. In addition to Xiaoyu, Sister Yue also broke out of her doll form and walked out of the darkness.
It looks like a war is about to break out.
Lin Mo waved his hand.
He said to the ascetic opposite: "Lin Yuan is my brother, where is he?"
The ascetic smiled and stretched out his hand to push.
This time, it was not Lin Mo and the others who were pushed, but the ghost clock behind them.
Just after hearing a buzzing sound, the ghost clock disappeared.
It's like disappearing into thin air.
The second person to disappear was the ascetic. Black air surged under his feet, and he suddenly sank, as if he accidentally stepped on a deep well without a manhole cover and fell into it.
Walking very fast.
Liu Jia was the first to react. She grabbed the scissors and slashed through the air. She cut a strange opening out of thin air and got right in.
Lin Mo had quick hands and eyes and rushed over immediately, but he was still a step too slow.
The opening made by the scissors is closed directly.
Lin Mo missed it.
"Xiaoyu." Lin Mo shouted, but the latter shook his head, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
"Sister Yue!" Lin Mo looked at Sister Yue, but Sister Yue also shook her head.
"The second level of dreams is more difficult to enter. I don't have the ability."
Lin Mo jumped in anger when he heard this.
What a great opportunity to miss.
That ascetic must know the whereabouts of my brother, but the other party just won't tell him.
Angry!
And Liu Jia, can you die if you take me with you?
However, Lin Mo knew that he really couldn't blame the other party for this matter. The situation was urgent at that time, and Liu Jia also reacted quickly, so that he could catch up. If she had been slower, she would have lost her target.
In that case, how could he have time to greet himself?
But we can’t just let this matter go.
Lin Mo walked back and forth twice. Then he had an idea and hurriedly took out the paper crane and wrote Liu Jia's name.
It might be feasible to let the paper crane track it.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The paper crane flew up, spun around twice, and suddenly disappeared. But then, Lin Mo saw many scraps of paper appearing out of thin air.
The paper crane was smashed into pieces.
It seems that the paper crane cannot enter the second level of dreamland.
Lin Mo found that he really had no choice at the moment.
It feels bad to be powerless.
He could only wait where he was.
Waited for two full days.
In the past two days, Lin Mo had been staying close to each other, but he did not wait for a miracle to happen.
Liu Jia didn't come back either.
He knew there was no point in waiting any longer.
I called Professor Xie and asked about the second level of dreams. Professor Xie was very surprised and said that they had also been researching it recently, but they had not achieved any results yet.
Instead, it explains the meaning of the second level of dreams from a scientific perspective.
"In other words, a dream within a dream is a nested space concept. Theoretically speaking, there is not only a second layer of dreams, but also a third and fourth layer..."
Lin Mo hung up the phone.
He wasn't here for a science lecture.
He needs help.
Go back to Migratory Bird City and look for Dad and the others. Maybe Dad and the neighbors in the community have some ideas.
Of course, this is also a method of treating a dead horse as a living horse, and there is no other way.
