Chapter 1107 The Beauty Hidden in Despair [5000 Monthly Votes Requested]
"What does this Father Phil do collecting so many curses?"
Lin Mo guessed that Father Phil might be studying the curse sequence just like him.
In addition to these bottles and cans, there is another room here, but it is sealed with an iron door. There are some scary words written on the iron door:
God forbid this!
Who are you bluffing?
Lin Mo decided not to touch the iron door for the time being. If there was something evil hidden inside, if he opened the door and let it out, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
It’s not too late to figure out the situation first before making next plans.
Apart from the scary words, there is really no danger here.
Although there are dozens of sources of curses, they are all soaked in special glass bottles.
Essentially, this is a form of sequestration.
The curse cannot be revealed.
It's like a bomb with the fuse unplugged. Although it's also dangerous, strictly speaking, it's okay to sleep next to it.
As long as the psychological quality is strong enough.
Lin Mo is a person with a very strong psychological quality. After checking around and finding no problems, he sat on the chair here.
Candles are special and can burn for a long time.
No smoke yet.
Not choking.
There are many books and notes on the workbench.
Lin Mo looked through it by candlelight.
After seeing this, Lin Mo was stunned.
Frowning, he looked carefully, with a strange expression, with a kind of doubt and confusion, then disbelief, and finally, after thinking about it, he showed a look of surprise.
Lin Mo himself didn't expect that he would study Father Phil's notes here for more than three hours.
It is the kind of concentration that is full of concentration and free from any external interference.
It's more exciting than reading pornographic books.
The result really surprised Lin Mo.
Anyway, after reading it, Lin Mo's view of Father Phil changed 180 degrees.
"He is actually a good person!"
Lin Mo knows that the definition of a person cannot be purely based on good or bad. It is very superficial and incomplete, because no matter how good a person is, he still has an evil nature, and no matter how evil a person is, he still has a good side.
But Father Phil is definitely a good person, and his good side is even greater.
Judging from the other party's notes, Father Phil has only one purpose, and that is to rid the world of 'sin'.
Moreover, Father Phil had been exposed to the ‘Nightmare Invasion’ much earlier.
At first he thought it was possessed by a demon and called the nightmare a 'demon'.
He exorcises demons with great faith and willpower.
It worked several times.
The result of contact with evil is that it will inevitably be corroded by evil.
Father Phil has already thought of this and expected it, so he is also trying to get rid of the evil in himself.
It started with prayer.
Because he felt that since ‘demons’ existed, then the God he believed in must also exist.
The result was naturally disappointing to him. Countless prayers failed to have any connection with the God in his heart.
At that time, Father Phil realized that God did not exist and that he could only rely on himself.
Ordinary clergymen, if they get too involved in the drama, will most likely collapse or surrender themselves after discovering that their so-called faith is just a beautiful scam and lie.
As the saying goes, how deep the love is, how cruel the hatred is.
But Father Phil didn't do that.
He still maintained that pure heart.
In his notes, he wrote this.
"God does not exist, but my faith is not wrong. This is hope, dawn, and yearning for beauty. I will continue to move forward, rain or shine."
Look at how high his quality is.
Just for this reason, Lin Mo felt that Father Phil was a good man.
With no one to help him, Father Phil has no choice but to save himself.
He created a kind of insurance for himself.
That's taking advantage of the curse.
It can be said that Father Phil is a pioneer in studying the nightmare world.
And there are many achievements.
The other party has solved many extremely powerful nightmares in the third-level dream.
The sins on the wall of sin, every piece of paper filled with sins, has a terrible nightmare behind it. Father Phil's forgiveness and redemption are a sharp tool to dismantle the nightmare.
He saved many people.
Also killed many terrible nightmares.
But evil will not disappear just because Nightmare dies, so he carries more and more evil.
It's like constantly adding stones to the load.
Sooner or later it will crush him.
Father Phil knew that one day, once his mind was taken over by sin, he would become an extremely terrifying existence. So he thought of a way to suppress the countless sins in his body by ringing the bell.
But this can only be relief.
Ultimately he wanted someone to kill him.
As for suicide, Father Phil never thought about it.
In their teachings, suicide is the greatest sin.
If he really does that, the result will only be more terrifying, and his numerous sins will turn him into the most terrifying demon.
The person chosen by Father Phil is Sophia.
When he knew that Sophia contained powerful evil, he knew that the only person who could kill him was a being like Sophia.
He detected the extremely terrifying 'regret' curse in Sophia's heart.
This kind of power can destroy the source of evil.
So he continued to guide Sophia.
Hopefully Sofia can kill him after he loses his mind.
End this once and for all.
And Sofia agreed. They agreed that if Sofia found that one day the bell stopped ringing, it would mean that Father Phil had completely lost his mind.
At that time, Sophia needs to kill Father Phil.
Seeing this, Lin Mo felt that Father Phil also wanted to use this spirit of 'sacrifice' to elevate himself to a higher realm.
But Lin Mo was also curious as to why he couldn't kill him in advance.
We have decided to sacrifice anyway, so why not do it earlier?
This is also discussed later in the notes.
It turns out Father Phil tried it too.
But he discovered that when he had reason, he couldn't be killed.
He also possesses an undead-like curse.
At this time, we should focus on Father Phil’s research on curses.
In Lin Mo's opinion, the other party is definitely a master in this field.
These notes on curse research will be extremely valuable even if they are obtained by the Academy of Sciences. Anyway, after reading them, Lin Mo's cognitive ability and level have improved to a higher level.
I talked about how Father Phil suppressed sin.
He used a relatively simple but very effective method.
That's the pain.
When people are drowsy, they can wake up by pinching themselves.
Even if you have fallen asleep, if you prick your body with a needle, you can wake up instantly.
This is the ‘blessing’ of pain to the spirit.
Sometimes, this negative feeling is a special stimulant.
Father Phil collected almost all the painful sequence curses he could find, and then blessed them all in batches on his own body.
Seeing this, Lin Mo had to give Father Phil a thumbs up.
He is a ruthless person.
According to the notes, the other party found more than ten types of painful sequence curses.
If ten kinds of painful curses are placed on the body, how painful will it be?
The curse balance established by Father Phil uses pain-based curses to suppress top evils.
The balance can be maintained, but the whole process will definitely not be comfortable.
And this pain will always exist. As long as people still exist, this pain will not disappear.
How much willpower does this require?
So Lin Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with him giving the other party a thumbs up.
In fact, when he saw this, Lin Mo realized that the ringing of the bell had something to do with Father Phil.
In other words, the real weird bell outside was also rang by Father Phil.
Then why is there Father Phil here?
Could it be that there are two Father Phil?
Or is Father Phil here just a figment of Sophia's imagination?
Lin Mo thought for a moment and shook his head.
It seems impossible.
The answer to this question is found in the later notes.
Father Phil and Sophia created this special ‘painting world’ together.
They hide some beautiful things here.
In other words, this is not the 'trash can' that Sophia mentioned, but a safe.
For example, these research notes and many sources of curses, Father Phil is hiding here, and he also splits a normal version of himself and stays here to continue research.
However, Father Phil obviously underestimated the horror of the source of evil.
The good things here were also contaminated by evil after a period of time, and the source of evil was born here.
This led to the terrifying Father Phil whom Lin Mo had seen before.
According to the notes, Father Phil here is only one-fifth of his original power.
Lin Mo counted on his fingers and took a breath.
In other words, the Father Phil he met before was just a broken Father Phil. The problem was that even Father Phil with broken bones couldn't deal with him, let alone the real Father Phil.
If you meet this, why don't you teach yourself how to be a good person every minute?
"But the bells outside are still ringing. In other words, Father Phil outside still has some sense. In that case, can we communicate?"
Thinking of this, Lin Mo had another glimmer of hope.
But so what if we can communicate?
At this time, you can't kill people even if they sit down and ask you to kill them.
Only when the opponent completely loses his mind can he be killed by top regret.
Another point is that the small table knife, which is the carrier of top regret, cannot be touched at all.
"How about tricking Sophia's son out."
Lin Mo felt that this was feasible.
But how to operate it still needs to be figured out.
This is basically the only way to do it in the overall situation. This is a great gain, at least you don't have to cross the river by feeling for stones.
Also figured out the origin of the bell outside.
It was used by Father Phil to suppress the source of his own sin.
Lin Mo discovered that about the third-level dream, which was originally a mystery to him, now many places have begun to become clear and the essence can be seen clearly.
This is a good thing.
In addition, what makes Lin Mo even more happy is that here is the source of the curse for almost all painful sequences.
Among them are several painful curses written on his own yellow paper.
They are ‘5-1 Skinning’, ‘5-5 Heart-eating’, ‘5-7 Bone-shattering’, and ‘5-9 Extreme Cold’.
These four painful sequence curses were obtained by Lin Mo a long time ago, but they have never been improved or given a chance.
Now is your chance.
Not surprisingly, he can upgrade all four curses to one level.
The improvement can be said to be huge.
Each source of curse has a number, and the explanation of the number is recorded in detail in the notes.
What Lin Mo had to do was to find the bottles of these four curses according to the explanations, and then swallow the source of the curses inside.
Soon, four bottles were found.
The source of the skinning curse is a skinning knife stained with blood.
Take it out and place it on yellow paper.
Skinning Curse received an immediate boost.
Lin Mo then followed suit and upgraded all the other three curses.
The process was not very comfortable, and even painful for a while. After all, the curse of the painful sequence was upgraded, and it was difficult to suppress it during the upgrade.
But the Gourmet Curse does a good job of neutralizing the imbalance of this curse sequence.
When everything calmed down, Lin Mo felt like he was okay again.
It seems that he can overcome any difficulty.
But in fact, even if this improvement reaches 100%, or 200%, in the terrifying environment of the third-level dreamland, it will not be as good as it was in the first-level dreamland.
You should be careful, you still have to be careful.
However, if he were in the second-floor dreamland, Lin Mo's current strength would be enough to walk sideways.
Even those terrible nightmares in the Terror Street, such as Lao Shen and the pet shop proprietress, Lin Mo can easily suppress.
So in terms of strength, he has indeed improved tremendously.
In the last part of Father Phil's notes, he wrote about his yearning for a better life.
"This place was created by Sophia and I together. I have seen her innocence, her maternal love and beauty. In order to save this poor child, I built a pure land for her here, a truly beautiful paradise. This is what I The last thing I can do is behind that iron door. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to perfect this work... Finally, don’t let Sophia see her as a child. In that case, something terrible will happen. matter."
The writing at the end is very sloppy.
It seemed as if Father Phil had fallen into some kind of loss of control at that time.
He should have tried his best to write this.
The last sentence is a warning.
Lin Mo glanced at the iron gate over there.
I know this is the place mentioned in the notes.
But looking at the four words on the door, it doesn't look like a pure land or paradise.
But since Father Phil said it was not a dangerous place, Lin Mo decided to open it and take a look.
The iron door is heavy but not locked.
Pulling it open and looking inside, a cool breeze blew out that didn't belong here.
It's like someone suddenly opening a window in a stuffy sleeper car, or like a warm spring breeze blowing in the cold winter.
Inside the door is a garden.
bright.
Green grass and floral scent.
Lin Mo closed the door and opened it again to see that it was still the same.
This proves that he is not dazzled and does not look like a hallucination. After all, at this stage, Lin Mo, who has the three powerful curses of gourmet, bewitchment and psychosis, is almost impossible to be hallucinated by anything.
That's true.
The garden is real, the flowers and plants in it are real, and the sunshine is real.
Lin Mo walked in and took a look.
He understood what Father Phil meant by pure land and paradise.
But this place is not big, and there are gaps in the ground. This should mean that there is no time to perfect this work. This place is not finished yet.
But even so, this is indeed a good place, and just staying there makes people feel healed.
Facts have proved that the words 'God is forbidden here' written on the iron gate are indeed bluffing.
It is estimated that Father Phil's original idea was to add some kind of curse or some kind of power to the iron door to prevent any evil from entering.
Only in this way can the Pure Land be called the Pure Land.
If evil enters, it will no longer be a pure land.
Lin Mo stayed for a while and came out.
He still has his own business.
The source of the curse for other painful sequences in the basement had to be dealt with.
But Lin Mo hadn't figured out how to deal with it for a while.
Now that most of the threats outside are gone, and Lin Mo's strength has improved again, even if there are some tough situations, he can still deal with them with confidence.
For example, the father who forced little Sophia in the studio.
Lin Mo thought about it and killed this guy first.
Back in the studio, Lin Mo didn't need to hide anymore. He found Sophia's father and killed him with one blow.
As for some minor curses, they are easily solved.
It stands to reason that Lin Mo can already go out and recover at this time.
Because most of the things Sophia confessed have been completed.
Only the Curse of Regret cannot be touched. Lin Mo has no choice. There are too many sources of curses in the basement and it is difficult to move them.
But we can discuss this with Sophia and see what the other party has planned.
But before that, Lin Mo recalled Father Phil's warning in his notes.
Don't let Sophia see her as a child.
Although he didn't know why, Lin Mo decided to avoid this risk.
He planned to find little Sophia and take her behind the iron door.
Hide.
But Lin Mo also had another idea in mind.
At this stage, Lin Mo felt that he did not need to look at Sophia's face outside the painting.
Now that our wings are hardened, if we really fight, she may not be able to beat us.
All eighteen curse sequences have been completed, and the balance has been adjusted very well. In addition, most of the curses have been strengthened by Lin Mo.
It can be said that Lin Mo is now fully equipped.
Things are not what they used to be.
The self-confidence naturally returned.
Lin Mo even had the urge to humiliate Sophia when he went out. If she dared to talk nonsense and just take action, it was not certain who would lose and who would win.
As a result, at this moment, Lin Mo felt something strange. He turned his head and saw someone.
An innocent version of little Sophia.
She stood at the door of the studio and looked at Lin Mo at a loss.
She must have just finished painting, because she still had the brush in her hand.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment and was about to speak.
Little Sophia immediately screamed in fear, turned around and ran away.
By coincidence, the direction she ran in was the room with the exit frame.
Lin Mo hurriedly chased after him.
As a result, little Sophia saw this and ran faster.
In a panic, she opened the door to the room and ran in.
"broken!"
Lin Mo didn't know what would happen to little Sophia if she saw Sophia outside, but because of Father Phil's warning, it shouldn't be a good thing.
