"How are you feeling?" Mom came in and sat directly on the sofa, then patted the seat next to her and motioned for Lin Mo to sit there too.
Lin Mo did not sit over.
He was not that stupid. He didn't understand the situation clearly, so he definitely couldn't get too close. Otherwise, if the other party suddenly made a move, Lin Mo was afraid that he would not have time to react.
So Lin Mo sat on a TV with a cracked screen next to him.
These TVs can not only be used as footrests, but can also be used as benches.
The mother over there didn't seem to care. She crossed her legs gracefully and took off her apron. She didn't look like a mother, just like Lin Mo wasn't the real Romi.
"I feel much better, but I still can't eat anything." Lin Mo's stomach gurgled at this time.
This is hungry.
But one of Lin Mo's specialties is that he can tell lies with his eyes open.
"Then mom will change the taste for you next time, remember to eat more next time."
Mom also pretended not to hear.
Change the taste?
Forget it.
Even if he changed it ten times, Lin Mo didn't have any expectations.
"Your sister said you have grown taller." Mom said again.
Lin Mo didn't know what the other party meant, so he also said that it was normal for him to eat more and sleep well, and to grow taller.
Then start chatting.
The other party acted like a real mother, caring for her son meticulously.
Lin Mo dealt with it seriously.
"Oh, by the way, in about two hours, it will be our family's entertainment time. Don't forget to participate." When my mother was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and reminded her.
Fun time?
Lin Mo really didn't know.
"Mom, what are you going to play this time?"
Lin Mo still planned to ask. Since it was entertainment time, he definitely wanted to play and relax, so there was no harm in finding out first.
Mom giggled: "Don't we play the same thing every time? You forgot, vote to catch a ghost. There is a ghost hiding in our house, attached to a family member, just find it out.
Already."
Lin Mo was stunned.
Fortunately, he was wearing a paper bag so no one could see his current expression.
"Okay, mom is going to watch TV for a while, see you later." Mom had already walked to the door at this time, and Lin Mo hurried to see her off.
Outside the door, my mother seemed to have remembered something, turned around and whispered: "Your father's reaction has been unusual recently. Why don't you vote for him? Maybe all of us can be relieved this time."
After saying that, my mother turned and left.
Lin Mo, who returned to the room, began to think about it.
What does she mean?
This was obviously a deliberate reminder to myself.
She knew that she was a fake, but like other family members, she did not expose it and even took the initiative to remind her. She seemed to be full of good intentions.
But her last words were profound.
Lin Mo thought about it for a while and thought to himself: "She is here to form an alliance."
Thinking carefully about the previous conversation, the other party basically wanted to express three things. One thing is that I know you are not real Romi; the second thing is to tell you the most important rule of the game here, family games, voting.
Identify a family member who may be possessed by a ghost; the third thing is to ask yourself to vote for 'Dad'.
"Maybe this time everyone can be freed... "Freed, why do you use this word?" Lin Mo murmured to himself, with a tone of helplessness and a trace of desire. Lin Mo just stood there.
For a while, I thought about this carefully.
Obviously what 'Mom' said was not without purpose.
She has a strong purpose.
The point is, she wants to let herself, as a family member, vote for the irritable dad in that game session.
Apparently mom thinks dad is the 'ghost'.
But my mother may not be entirely sure.
So she used the word 'maybe'.
The liberation she talks about is breaking out of countless cycles of death.
Why Lin Mo came up with the concept of 'death circle' was because he combined it with the line of words carved under the armrest.
That line reads: We must find it, otherwise we will continue to die.
Now Lin Mo knows that 'it' refers to 'ghost', and dying means dying again and again. Combining this, it is not difficult to understand the 'liberation' in mother's words.
Breaking out of the cycle of death means liberation.
Although these were Lin Mo's guesses, he felt they were almost the same as the facts.
Lin Mo immediately summarized and refined his newly obtained clues, and then added some conclusions to his previous speculations.
This family should all know that each other is acting, and the paper bags on their heads represent the roles they play, and during this process, they must always maintain the character and reaction that this role should have.
They have only one purpose, to find a "ghost" among the four members of this family.
As for what this ghost is specifically, Lin Mo doesn't know.
If found, that is, through family voting, this death cycle will be broken, otherwise, the cycle will continue.
Lin Mo suddenly raised his head at this time and looked at the many broken TV sets in the room.
He remembered that Romi had been robbed of the paper bag by him before, and was beaten to death by his 'dad'.
At the moment of death, Romy turned into a broken television.
Lin Mo didn't understand what was going on at first, but now, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that all the broken TVs in this house were once people? To be more specific, these broken TVs are the family of four who failed to vote and failed to find the 'ghost'.
This idea is very bold.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the more you think about it, the more likely it is.
When Lin Mo saw that the room was filled with almost countless broken TV sets, he knew how many times this family had died.
Quite desperate.
"Hey, that's not right." Lin Mo suddenly thought of a big bug in this inference.
That is, he did not take into account the factor of "every step of the way makes you wiser".
There are only four people in total. If you really can't rely on some clues to accurately determine who it is, you can use a stupid method, that is, select one by one, use the elimination method, and die up to three times to find out the real 'ghost'.
It's impossible to die so many times.
"Unless they are all fools!" Lin Mo muttered at this time.
Fool?
Definitely not.
Among the family members Lin Mo came into contact with, not one of them was a fool.
My father may seem rough and tyrannical, but he is brave and careful; needless to say, my mother is definitely the wise person in the family; although my sister is a bit straightforward and impulsive, she is not a fool who doesn't know how to think.
It is impossible for the three of them not to know the method of elimination.
As for his predecessor, Romi, who had been robbed of his paper bag identity before, his mind was indeed a little abnormal.
Although in theory, the incoming Romy will be used by a real "ghost" to cast interference votes. If the other three "ghosts" also vote for the same person, then no matter how the other two people vote, the best result will be
It's a two-to-two tie.
But in actual operation, the success rate of doing this is not high.
If Romi happened to vote for "Ghost" when he was in office, then "Ghost" might be identified.
Just when Lin Mo was thinking about this problem carefully, he heard the door creak.
