In the nightmare world, Green Garden Residential Area was directly opposite Three Bridges Residential Area.
Lin Mo compared the angle from Mao Mao Hen Dan Da's sketch and locked onto one building.
However, the Green Garden here was somewhat different from the one in the real world. Chen Bing had said that the nightmare world could be seen as a projection of fears from the real world, but there would also be some discrepancies.
The shiny, beautiful apartment buildings in the real world now looked not only different in appearance, but also older and more damaged. Some were even covered with moss that resembled blood vessels, giving them a ghostly appearance. The occasional wandering shadows made this place seem more like the underworld of Yama.
"I wonder if there would be sunlight if we came here during the day?" Lin Mo looked up at the pitch-black sky, muttering to himself.
This was the entrance to Building No. 2.
The original security door looked like it had been smashed open by something, with half of the door panel lying in the weeds not far away.
The weeds here were also strange.
It was impossible to tell what species they were. Not only were they pitch black, but once you got close, some serrated vines would suddenly shoot out from inside, wrapping around your hands and feet, dragging you into the dark grass.
"Why do I feel that this building is even more dangerous than the one I was in before?" Lin Mo said, looking around for something handy to use for self-defense.
However, after searching around, he only found a brick.
It was taken from the edge of a flower bed, and it was because of this that Lin Mo realized how terrifying the black weeds in the flower bed were.
Carrying the brick, Lin Mo entered Building No. 2.
In the real world, Mao Mao Hen Dan Da lived on the tenth floor.
But in the nightmare world, it might not correspond exactly, because in the real world this building had a total of seventeen floors, but in reality, Lin Mo had just counted, and Building No. 2 in the nightmare world only had nine floors.
Nearly half were missing.
This undoubtedly made it difficult for Lin Mo to locate Mao Mao Hen Dan Da's room.
However, from the view outside the window in Mao Mao Hen Dan Da's sketch, it could be determined that it was unlikely to be on a very low floor.
Lin Mo had previously deduced with Mao Mao Hen Dan Da that it was most likely to be on the sixth or seventh floor, between the fifth floor and above, and the eighth floor and below.
Passing through the first floor hallway, Lin Mo began to climb the stairs.
When he reached the second floor, a strange sound came from the hallway.
It sounded a bit like someone chopping meat.
In the middle of the night, someone was actually making dumplings?
Lin Mo wasn't foolish enough to go and look. Mind your own business, he thought, and headed straight for the sixth floor.
In the hallway of the fourth floor, there was a huge black hole in the wall, surrounded by dense black slime. This slime seemed to be alive, constantly writhing and invading the surrounding walls.
It looked like a black hole that could devour everything.
Lin Mo stopped when he reached this point.
Switching the brick from his left hand to his right, Lin Mo lit his lighter and went up the stairs step by step.
As he passed the black hole, Lin Mo turned his head to look. In the faint light of the lighter, he could just make out a pale face.
This face was hiding in the black hole, and probably disliking the light, it shrank back in an instant.
Lin Mo seemed to see that it was like a tangled rope being forcibly stuffed into the black hole, its entire body twisting and deforming terribly.
This thing gave a very uncomfortable feeling, and Lin Mo couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Of course, sympathy aside, if it really came out not knowing what was good for it, Lin Mo would not hesitate to smash the brick in his hand against it.
In the end, the thing in the black hole didn't come out. With a scare but no harm done, Lin Mo safely passed the fourth floor.
When he reached the fifth floor, Lin Mo suddenly heard a low thumping sound.
It was like someone bouncing a ball.
Lin Mo immediately thought of Mao Mao Hen Dan Da's description of the Split-Head Ghost. His heart stirred, and he slipped into the fifth floor.
This floor,
It looked as if it had been hit by a tornado. None of the doors were intact, and broken door panels and furniture were scattered everywhere on the ground.
The thumping sound was not far away. Lin Mo peeked out and saw a person in an extremely strange posture using their head to hit a wall, over and over again.
The wall was already covered in blood.
The reason this person's posture was described as strange was because they were upside down, with their legs hooked onto the wall like a spider. Their head was already split open, with crushed bones and brain matter mixed together.
As it hit the wall, it muttered under its breath.
Lin Mo listened carefully, and it seemed to be saying, "Why can't I find it, why can't I find it?"
"Could it be looking for Mao Mao Hen Dan Da?" Lin Mo mumbled to himself.
He recognized it at a glance - this thing was the Split-Head Ghost that Mao Mao Hen Dan Da had mentioned.
And the level of horror of this ghost thing exceeded Lin Mo's expectations.
He had thought it would only be in a specific area, that is, the old room Mao Mao Hen Dan Da had mentioned, who could have imagined that this thing had actually come out.
Or rather, it wasn't originally the nightmare of that room.
It wasn't even on the same floor.
Lin Mo knew that in the nightmare world's buildings, there should be a nightmare on each floor, but if the nightmares were of equal strength, they wouldn't invade each other's territories.
Just like how the Face Spider wouldn't enter the second floor where the Pale Ghost Shadow was.
And any that could move between floors must be extremely troublesome nightmares.
Like the emaciated man Zhou Li, or that terrifying charred corpse.
The Split-Head Ghost was likely of the same type.
No wonder Xiao Yu said 'don't go'.
Lin Mo's movements could be said to be silent, but the Split-Head Ghost seemed to be even more sensitive.
The next moment, it suddenly stopped hitting the wall, then its head violently turned 180 degrees, a pair of bloodshot, fierce eyes staring at Lin Mo.
In an instant, the Split-Head Ghost 'jumped' over at an extremely fast speed.
In just a breath, it was right in front of him.
This ghost thing seemed to be able to ignore gravity, leaping upwards, its feet stepping on the ceiling, its split head exactly parallel with Lin Mo's line of sight.
The two of them made eye contact.
Indeed, just as Mao Mao Hen Dan Da had said, when this Split-Head Ghost smiled, it was so bizarre that you wanted to beat it up severely just to feel better.
Lin Mo resisted the urge to smash it with the brick.
He knew that against this level of nightmare, if he confronted it head-on, he would absolutely be no match.
Just as the Split-Head Ghost was about to speak, Lin Mo did something that others would absolutely not dare to do.
He spoke first.
"Brother, do you like to play hide-and-seek?"
He directly stole the other's lines.
The Split-Head Ghost opened its mouth, ready to speak, but the words were forcibly swallowed back.
It was at a loss.
Lin Mo pressed on, "Let's play hide-and-seek, you hide, I'll seek."
To be honest, at this moment Lin Mo was slightly nervous.
It had nothing to do with fear, just pure nervousness.
Mainly because he was afraid this Split-Head Ghost wouldn't play by the rules.
Next, Lin Mo and it just stared at each other like this, the Split-Head Ghost's smile frozen, brain matter mixed with blood dripping drop by drop from inside its split skull.
In his nose, he could sense a foul stench in the air.
Finally, the Split-Head Ghost spoke.
"So, you also like to play hide-and-seek. Alright, I'll hide, you seek, but if you can't find me, then it'll be my turn to seek you." After saying this, it retreated at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the darkness of the deep corridor.
