The walls are broken and the courtyard gate is just a decoration.
Entering the courtyard, a chill hit my face.
There is nothing we can do. Unless something unexpected happens, there is no one alive in this courtyard except Lin Mo. There must be no warmth.
A paper man was in front, looking at Lin Mo with strange eyes. The latter ignored him and walked around directly, approaching the man-headed boy.
This guy was holding his head, with a ferocious expression, and was looking at Lin Mo with his eyes crooked.
It's like a wink.
Lin Mo shook his head.
My little brother has good fighting ability, but he is too impulsive and rushes around like a fool. Now he is obviously being restrained. I don’t know why.
But this was a reminder to Lin Mo.
The old man squatting over there is definitely not a good person.
Usually when encountering this kind of situation, Lin Mo would always strike first, no matter what else, he would hold on first and then talk.
"Xiao Yu!"
Lin Mo called softly.
This old man is very evil, and he can easily restrain the little guy with a human head who is so fierce. If Lin Mo wants to take action, he must go all out. He cannot hold back, let alone underestimate the enemy.
Xiaoyu appeared in an instant, her black skirt swayed, and the chains scurried over like a snake.
At the same time, Lin Mo put on a bone mask.
He threw the brick away with a wave of his hand.
"fire?"
The old man over there exclaimed and hurriedly ran away.
It's impossible not to hide.
A brick is like a fireball, it hits directly. Who can withstand this?
A wreath was knocked to the ground by a brick, and flames immediately burst out.
The old man didn't care about getting angry. He moved very quickly, jumped up from the other side, and threw a handful of things at Lin Mo.
It's a paper man.
There were hundreds of human figures cut out of white paper, falling down like a goddess scattering flowers.
At this moment, Lin Mo's heart was beating wildly.
These paper figures are definitely not that simple, it is best not to touch any of them.
But the yard was so big, and there were so many paper figures thrown out by the old man that there was no place to hide or avoid them.
Then there is no need to avoid it.
Lin Mo reacted very quickly. If he just dodged, he would definitely miss the opportunity.
Now it's up to us who is faster.
Lin Mo unfolded his scythe and also rushed forward quickly. In this way, Xiao Yu was in front and he was behind, giving the old man a double attack.
As for what would happen if the paper man fell on him, Lin Mo couldn't care less.
As he said, the competition at this time is who can seize the opportunity.
No matter how fast Lin Mo was, he still encountered a few paper figures.
The moment one of the paper figures touched Lin Mo, he immediately seemed to come alive. He moved his hands and feet, then landed on the ground and ran quickly toward the old man over there.
Lin Mo didn't see it.
I really can't care.
The old man was quite powerful. He held a pipe and pot in his hand, and actually used offense instead of defense, forcing Xiao Yu to attack once. However, when Lin Mo came over, two against one, the old man couldn't withstand it anymore.
Guangguang tried to block Lin Mo's blow to the head, but a flaw was revealed behind him, and Xiaoyu's iron chain penetrated his shoulder. Then the iron chain was like a python, trapping the old man tightly.
"Wait a minute, are you alive?"
The old man spoke at this time.
Lin Mo didn't let Xiao Yu kill him. After making sure he had the old man under control, he immediately put a knife on the old man's neck: "Tell me, what happened to those paper figures just now?"
This time Lin Mo had the upper hand, but those paper figures were so evil that Lin Mo always felt that something was wrong, so he had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.
"I'll ask again later. You put out the fire first, otherwise the yard will burn down." At this time, the old man saw the flames burning over there and shouted hurriedly.
Lin Mo didn't refuse.
He also didn't want to cause another fire.
Fortunately, only two wreaths were burned and the house was not set on fire. Lin Mo spent some effort and put out the fire.
Walking over, Lin Mo squatted on the ground and took a close look at the old man. He was obviously older, and he was the kind who worked outdoors for a long time. His face was wrinkled, he had a bit of gray beard, and his eyes had a faint light.
The old man was also looking at Lin Mo.
His nose was twitching, as if he was smelling something.
"You are really a living person. You can control ghosts. Could it be that you are a member of the same group?" Lin Mo couldn't quite understand what the old man said.
But there is no doubt that this old man is a nightmare. He is very similar to Zhou Li. He also retains human memory and thinking ability, and is easier to deal with than those nightmares who only have resentment and hatred.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but went to take a look in the room behind the old man.
"Don't look, I'm the only one here." The old man saw Lin Mo's purpose and said.
Lin Mo walked back and by this time he had taken off his mask.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Lin Mo stared at the old man.
The old man reacted and said: "I, Old Wang, have been doing nothing all my life, so I naturally know some methods passed down from our ancestors to seek good luck and avoid disaster. The paper-tie man is just one of them. The symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, but I don't
Thinking about the years after my death, I was confused and suddenly woke up here, and the craftsmanship originally used to tie paper also gained some magical power."
Lin Mo thought to himself, he is indeed a dead man.
A few years after his death, he suddenly woke up.
Isn't this just like Xiaoyu?
In other words, this old man turned into a nightmare due to the fear of others.
After another conversation, Lin Mo roughly understood.
This old man Wang has been doing mundane things for people in the village. Naturally, some superstitious people think that old man Wang, who deals with dead people all day long, is evil and unclean. Some people even used old man Wang to scare children.
In this way, Old Man Wang actually became the embodiment of some people's fears.
Coincidentally, this place became a polluted area, affecting several families, and Old Man Wang turned into a nightmare due to the fear of others. However, Old Man Wang died peacefully, without any obsession or resentment, and he just turned into a nightmare.
Nightmares and living people have no malicious intent.
But most nightmares have some abilities.
His ability is the craft passed down from his ancestors.
Make paper figurines, make wreaths, etc.
His paper man has the ability that once he encounters someone else, whether living or a nightmare, that person's name will appear on the paper man.
And anything you do to the paper man can be a blessing to the other person.
This ability is quite special.
In the yard, the headless boy couldn't move because Old Man Wang kept holding the paper figure of the headless boy with his hand, which was effectively imprisoning the other person's ability to move.
No wonder I can't move.
"Then its head..."
"I also cut it off, but what I cut was the paper man's head." Old Man Wang looked at a pair of scissors on the ground next to him.
Lin Mo also looked over.
These scissors are not ordinary either.
It's an old item. I don't know how long it has been used. Although it looks old, it is very sharp.
There is still a black air lingering above.
At this time, Lin Mo saw something moving over there. When he turned around, he saw a paper man hiding behind a wreath.
Old Man Wang also saw it. He whistled and the little paper man ran out on his own.
"If you had acted slower just now, I would have gotten your paper figurine. Now I am asking you, not you asking me." Old Man Wang said.
Lin Mo was naturally horrified as he looked at the lifelike paper man that could move on its own.
If you look carefully, you will see that your name is clearly written on the paper figure.
Obviously, the paper man just now was the first one to encounter him.
Lin Mo walked over at this time, reached out and picked up the small paper man with his name written on it.
Keeping this little thing is troublesome. If someone else gets it, your life will be in someone else's hands.
Have to get rid of it.
Wait a moment!
Lin Mo realized that if he destroyed the paper man, wouldn't he also be unlucky?
