When the carriage returned to the Howard family estate, 'Ben' hadn't come back yet.
Lin Mo wondered if this guy was really going to come back, right?
Lin Mo has always been curious about the Howard family's attitude towards the Dream Demon, which is too lenient.
Just like yourself, you can move around the manor at will.
Aren't the Howard family afraid?
Later I found out that they were also afraid.
But the core members of the family are all in the inner court manor.
The manor where he is located is a foreign manor, and they are separated from each other by walls.
In addition to the wall, there is also a forest of thorns. It is said that only people with the blood of the Howard family can pass through that forest of thorns.
Lin Mo was not interested in knowing what the inner court manor looked like.
Anyway, he felt that the manor outside was luxurious enough.
Lin Mo's reputation for taking action at the slightest disagreement had obviously had the desired effect. He wandered around the manor for a long time, and everyone, whether they were dead people or dream demons, avoided him.
Yep, quiet.
It is said that there is a garden in the manor, which is very large and has a strange layout. It looks like a maze after entering.
Lin Mo heard about it and decided to go and have a look.
There is only more than an hour before the bell rings, and this little time is not enough to do anything else.
Hida, Hida is enough.
Walking to the entrance of the garden maze, Lin Mo looked at the dark and strange environment in front of it, which was overgrown with weeds. The entrance looked like a thousand-year-old tree demon with its mouth open, which was very intrusive.
There is a wooden sign at the entrance.
It says: Danger, no entry allowed!
So dangerous?
Then I won’t go.
Lin Mo has always listened to others' advice, and he will not commit suicide attempts.
Although he is now stronger and richer, when Sister Yue is upgraded, he will have the strength to establish a firm foothold in the third-level dreamland.
But Lin Mo still maintained his original intention.
Still be cautious.
Just when Lin Mo was about to leave, someone walked out of the garden entrance over there.
The other party probably didn't expect that there was a person standing outside, so he was stunned.
The two looked at each other.
Then the man pretended to be calm, lowered his head and prepared to leave.
Lin Mo made a gesture.
Pointing to the corner of his mouth.
The other party subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth and found that there was still some blood on it.
Then he ran away without looking back.
Looking at her clothes, she was obviously dressed like an aristocratic lady, and she was a little shy.
It smells like perfume.
But it can't hide the hint of carnivore.
Are there meat eaters in the Howard family?
Lin Mo looked towards the entrance of the strange garden.
Normally, he doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, but because it involves the improvement of the glutton's curse, Lin Mo is very interested in all clues about the carnivore.
So you have to go inside and take a look at this weird garden.
Because it might be quite convoluted inside, Lin Mo wasn't sure he could easily walk in and out, so he stuck a spider thread on a secret place at the entrance.
The spider silk was thin and transparent. As Lin Mo walked inside, the spider silk could be stretched infinitely, so that even if he lost his way, he could rely on the spider silk to get out of the maze.
Not to mention, the spider originally invaded Lin Mo's body with its silk, but in the end it became Lin Mo's tool.
From this point of view, Spider is pretty good.
The weird garden maze is very quiet and dark.
However, there is very little smog here.
The strange plants in the garden have the ability to absorb smog.
On the contrary, the air is much fresher than outside.
There is no need to wear a gas mask here.
Lin Mo took off his gas mask and looked around.
There are many passages and forks here. Thinking of garden mazes always reminds people of those gardens in fairy tale worlds, full of romance.
But this place has nothing to do with romance.
Lin Mo sniffed the smell in the air.
The scent of the perfume from the aristocratic lady just now still lingers here. Following the scent, Lin Mo turned around and found a place.
This is a small tree house in the garden.
You can climb up the wooden ladder.
Once you go up, you will find a restaurant.
Because there is a table set.
There was a dinner plate on the table with blood stains on it.
There are knives and forks next to it.
Apparently, someone had just finished a sumptuous dinner.
It is probably left by the noble lady from before.
As for what she ate, it was already obvious.
Deep in the restaurant, there is a large wooden eucalyptus board with a corpse lying on it.
The corpse was very fresh. At least one-third of the flesh on the body had been cut off. The flesh was bright red and stained with blood. The eyes of the corpse were staring, but the eyes were not cloudy yet.
Isn't this new?
Quite fresh.
This bookstore restaurant is filled with the atmosphere of a carnivore.
Obviously, that noble lady is just one of them, and she is definitely not the only one who patronizes this place.
After all, she can't eat so much meat alone.
Lin Mo looked at his pocket watch.
There's still a little time.
I guess 'Ben' is already back, and there is only more than half an hour left before the bell rings.
No one should come to this place anymore.
Lin Mo was about to leave, thinking of coming back after the bell rang.
But at this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Someone is coming?
Lin Mo listened, footsteps stepped onto the wooden stairs, and then the door opened.
A man walked in.
The other party glanced at Lin Mo. To be honest, Lin Mo had imagined many possibilities at this moment, but this guy's response was the one that Lin Mo thought was less likely.
The person just smiled and nodded as a greeting, then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Then he wiped his hands, took the dinner plate and cutlery from a cabinet next to him, and then walked away happily.
Go to the corpse over there and start cutting the meat.
buffet?
Lin Mo probably understood what was going on here.
This person is obviously also a member of the Howard family and is a meat eater.
Because eating human flesh is unacceptable even in a place like this, meat-eaters are actually breaking the law.
That's right.
This city still has laws.
It’s just that no one follows it.
Even the remaining sense of morality still gives people some sense of superiority.
For example, normal dead people would despise and look down on meat eaters.
I think they are perverted, disgusting, and evil.
However, as far as Lin Mo knew, these meat eaters were actually infected with a curse, and eating meat was an irresistible temptation for them.
I wanted to eat, but I didn't dare to eat openly, so I secretly set up a cafeteria in this garden maze and came here to eat secretly.
The man in front of him was just an ordinary carnivore. He had no special ability and could sense Lin Mo's "similar" aura, so he regarded Lin Mo as a carnivore.
It's very dark here.
Half of Lin Mo's body was hidden in the darkness, and the other party didn't actually see Lin Mo clearly.
After all, Lin Mo is definitely a famous figure in the Howard family in the past two days, and only a few people don't know him.
Soon the man filled the plate with fresh meat, then happily walked back to the dining table, pulled up a chair and sat down.
He glanced at Lin Mo again.
I guess he was wondering why Lin Mo didn't eat it.
But soon he found a used dinner plate on the table with blood stains on it.
I smiled immediately and ignored it.
This was obviously just after eating.
No more, I couldn't bear it anymore, my saliva was already flowing out.
But even though he was extremely hungry, he still gracefully cut the pieces into small pieces with a knife, then put them into his mouth with a fork and chewed them.
One piece after another, it’s so delicious that you can’t stop eating it.
Lin Mo frowned and did not stop the other party.
Because he heard footsteps again.
Someone else is coming.
Nine times out of ten, they are still meat eaters.
Sure enough, two more people came in after a while.
One man and one woman.
When Lin Mo saw this posture, he didn't intend to leave. He found a seat in the corner and sat down.
Coincidentally, there was the leftover dinner plate of the noble lady on the table.
In this way, anyone who doesn't look carefully or doesn't know Lin Mo will not be discovered.
Looking at the current situation, the meat-eaters in the Howard family take advantage of the bell ringing time to come here to have a group meal, and the meat and other things are prepared in advance.
Obviously this is not the first time they have done this.
The man and woman who just came in were obviously familiar with the man who came in before. They greeted each other and then looked towards Lin Mo.
The man didn't say anything, and the woman couldn't help but asked: "Who is he?"
"I thought it was the newcomer you brought." The man who came in before said.
"Not really."
The woman stared at Lin Mo and asked directly who are you? Who brought you here?
Both of these questions are difficult to answer.
Then I won’t answer.
Lin Mo sat still. Because of the angle and position, his face could not be seen clearly, making him look mysterious.
"Aileen, this person is also a carnivore. Perhaps he was brought here by Amber and the others."
The man who came with the woman came over and tried to persuade her.
He probably saw that Lin Mo was not easy to mess with.
Or maybe, it's just that I don't want to cause any problems.
The woman stared at Lin Mo, thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's ask Amber and the others when they come."
Maybe he's hungry.
The woman's stomach made a growling sound.
Her male companion very thoughtfully cut fresh thigh meat for her.
Red and white, suitable for fat meat.
In addition, there are seasoning bottles.
There's salt in it.
It tastes better after you sprinkle it on.
The woman started eating. While she was eating, her eyes were still staring at Lin Mo, obviously too wary.
Can Lin Mo be intimidated by this woman?
Totally a joke.
He took his pocket watch out of his pocket and looked at it.
There may only be less than ten minutes until the bell rings.
It seems that these people have no intention of going back.
Although there are no incubus here, the bells also have an effect on ordinary dead people.
What happens when the bell rings?
Lin Mo wanted to take a look.
In addition, Lin Mo originally wanted to explore the secret of the meat-eater and explore the source of the curse, so he might as well start here.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Of course, Lin Mo doesn't want to take action yet.
Not everyone has arrived yet.
It’s more cost-effective to start after everyone is gathered.
Perhaps because of the presence of Lin Mo, an 'outsider', the two men and one woman in the room did not talk to each other. There were only the sounds of chewing, swallowing and the clinking of knives and forks in the restaurant.
For those who didn’t know better, I thought this was a high-end restaurant.
The diners are also very quality and elegant.
But in fact, he is dressed like an animal, just pretending to be elegant.
The footsteps sounded again.
There were more people coming this time, and the footsteps were noisy.
After a while four people came in.
The entire dining table can only seat seven people.
At this time, including Lin Mo, there were eight people crowded in the room.
"Amber!"
The woman from before stood up immediately.
"Eileen, what's wrong?" The person named Amber was probably the one taking the lead. He had a calmness and confidence, which could be heard in his voice.
"Is he yours?" Ai Lin pointed at Lin Mo in the corner.
Amber looked at it and shook his head.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Who are you?"
Amber asked and at the same time gestured to the person next to him.
The man held an oil lamp in his hand and raised it close. Although the light was not bright, it was enough to reveal Lin Mo's appearance.
Seeing Lin Mo's face, Amber shivered.
He recognized it.
"Are you the demon that 'Ben' brought back?"
Lin Mo asked, have you seen me?
"Yeah, damn it."
Amber realized something and immediately wanted to run out.
Lin Mo threw the knife away and half of it sank into the floor, blocking the opponent's path.
Amber didn't dare to run away.
But his expression was fearful.
"You are a devil. Once you hear the bell, you will be furious. No, you must leave here, otherwise it will be too late."
Amber ran away because of this incident.
Others also showed fear on their faces, and suddenly the meat on the table no longer tasted delicious.
It happened that at this time, the first bell rang.
The faces of the seven people in the room were ashen.
They hide here to eat just for safety.
Because there are no demons here.
But who would have thought that someone would come in early.
Once the other party becomes violent, none of them will survive.
The sound of the bell intensified their fear to the extreme.
Lin Mo still sat still, then smiled.
"Actually, I just want to ask you a few questions."
…
More than half an hour later, the last bell ended.
Lin Mo walked out of the tree house.
He was very satisfied.
Because he got what he wanted.
in the house.
Amber and others looked pale. They were not dead, so they felt lucky to have survived the disaster.
"Don't tell anyone what happened today."
Amber thought of something at this moment, stood up and said.
Everyone else nodded.
The demon just warned them. Obviously, this warning was not a joke, because Amber and the others had never encountered a demon who could ignore the bell.
This is completely beyond their knowledge.
So we can roughly infer that this demon is very powerful.
The devil didn't kill them because he was disdainful.
Then, you must not do anything that angers the devil, otherwise, you will definitely die.
As for whether the information they shared will implicate the Meat Eaters Association.
They don't care about it.
As long as you can protect yourself.
"Then, do you still want to eat this meat?" one person asked.
I guess after the fear passed, I felt hungry.
"Eat, why don't you eat?"
A trace of ferocity flashed in Amber's eyes.
He was frustrated.
You can't offend the devil, but you can offend the corpse on the table.
This time he no longer pretended to be a gentleman, he pounced on it and started to bite it, as if this could vent the suppressed anger in his heart.
