Chapter 519 I understand what the businessman is going to do
Lin Mo has never learned any sword skills.
But his speed with the knife is extremely fast, and many times his opponent doesn't even react, and his knife has already struck him.
The grimace opposite had his hands broken. It took him a while to realize what he was doing, and he hurriedly retreated into the darkness, not daring to come out again.
Lin Mo kicked the severed hand aside and continued reading the manuscript.
He watched with great concentration.
Also very fast.
He read a few pages of the manuscript in a few minutes and then immediately picked up the next one.
In this dark room, Lin Mo was studying selflessly with the help of weak candlelight. If his middle school teacher saw this scene, he might be pleased and even say, if your kid worked half as hard as he does now when he was in school,
I'm sure I can get into a good university.
The silence lasted for a while, and then the thing in the dark began to move again.
After all, this is a specific novel world, and the plot of the novel is limited. There will be various monsters here, and they will come out to attack the novelist.
Lin Mo is now playing the role of a novelist.
"Xiaoyu!" Lin Mo called out.
The next moment, there was a tall girl in a black skirt next to him.
Xiao Yu knew what to do next without Lin Mo giving an order. After all, they already had a tacit understanding. This tacit understanding made Xiao Yu choose to take the initiative instead of staying by Lin Mo's side.
As the black dress enters the darkness, some strange sounds often come to mind in the house
The occasional scream was either the sound of bones breaking or the sound of some kind of liquid dripping.
Lin Mo was still reading the novel without raising his head, very immersed in it.
Occasionally he would change his gaze, either to pick up other novel manuscripts or to take a look at the large candle.
Lin Mo discovered that the candle burning speed increased.
At the current rate, this candle as thick as an arm will burn out in maybe half an hour.
This is not good news.
He has only read a very small part of the manuscripts on the bookshelf. If he wants to read them all, let alone half an hour, even giving him one day may not be enough.
So Lin Mo knew very well that it was impossible for him to read all the manuscripts.
It requires choices and trade-offs.
These manuscripts were all written by novelists, and Lin Mo also discovered an incredible secret.
The manuscript about Ward 1 just now almost completely described the situation in Ward 1, including every patient, including the few taboo monsters that existed in Ward 1.
There were many things that Lin Mo didn't know. After reading the manuscript, he had a very deep impression of Ward 1.
If it were written by someone else, Lin Mo would only regard it as a novel, but this was written by a novelist.
What the novelist here wrote really exists.
If nothing else, right now, Lin Mo is experiencing the plot and story created by the novelist.
Then, Lin Mo has reason to believe that Ward 1 is just a horror story created by a novelist.
In other words, the first ward that I once visited did not exist in real life, but in a fictional world.
This was not a complete guess, because Lin Mo quickly found a manuscript about Ward 2 and the dark side, which was completely consistent with what he had seen and heard.
By the way, in the novelist's setting, the manager of the first ward is the flashlight nurse, and the manager of the second ward is Professor Yang.
There is also Ward 3.
However, Lin Mo has never been there, so he is relatively unfamiliar and cannot comment.
But after reading the manuscripts of these two wards, Lin Mo was already more than 70% sure of his previous speculations.
Later, Lin Mo saw the manuscript of Ward 4 while inside.
The moment he saw the above content, Lin Mo, who remained calm and calm even when faced with any problems, his pupils shrank and he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
"No way?"
"OMG!"
Lin Mo was surprised and then excited. He glanced at the candle that had only half of it left, and quickly picked up the manuscript of Ward 4 and started reading.
At the same time, all the sounds in the surrounding darkness also disappeared. Xiaoyu walked back again. Behind the black skirt, the cursed iron chain slowly retracted, and some of the black blood stuck to it was also absorbed by the black skirt.
Xiao Yu did not disturb Lin Mo. She looked around and picked up a manuscript to read.
The candle burns faster.
Since entering this house, my mother and sister have not spoken, and my father has disappeared. I don’t know where he went. At this time, my sister wanted to reach out and touch the soybean-like candle flame on the candle, but her mother stopped her.
"Shh!"
The mother made a gesture to silence her. The younger sister had no choice but to start picking her nails out of boredom.
Lin Mo took a look at the amount of remaining candles. He knew he had to hurry up and stop looking at the mess. He had to look for the key points.
After reading seven or eight manuscripts in succession, Lin Mo found what he was looking for.
"God, I would like to call him a proud patient. He fantasizes that he is an almighty God. In fact, he does have power and abilities similar to God, but he is too powerful. Later, he even began to question me. If any
If he continues like this, Ward 4 will be destroyed by this powerful madman."
"So, I can only delete this character, but I can keep everyone's memory of him. After all, this is one of my favorite characters I have created."
"Wise man, this guy is so smart. He was the first patient to realize that this was a false world, but he took the initiative to ask to enter a separate novel world. Well, it is in the 17th story of the continuation of the horror stories in Ward 4, Haunted
Library, he likes to read, so let him stay in it."
"One of the advantages of doing this is that when I'm bored and want to talk to someone, I can go to the non-existent door between wards 308 and 309 to find him."
Lin Mo finally found the content about the wise man.
And it's not just that.
For example, there is a detailed description of the wise man, his growth process and background, which is described in great detail in another manuscript. After reading these, you will have a more concrete image of the wise man's image and personality in your brain.
The characters come out.
Similar character descriptions, in addition to the two patients God and the Wise Man, Lin Mo also found many other characters.
The simplest may be just one sentence.
For example, "In ward No. 35, there is a patient who is 45 years old, thin, and looks weak, but he is actually a pervert with a twisted mentality."
Although there is only one sentence, it roughly describes the characteristics of a character.
Coincidentally, Lin Mo had met the patient in Ward No. 35, who was actually the one who led Lin Mo. He had previously dressed up as an evil spirit and killed others.
There are also many patient descriptions.
Lin Mo found 'Wangcai', described in the same sentence, that is, "He thinks he is a dog!"
It's that simple.
But Lin Mo has seen many of these characters. Even if he has never seen them, Lin Mo can be sure that they all exist in the 4th Ward.
The candle was less than two centimeters thick.
It seems that it will be exhausted in a few minutes, which means that there are only a few minutes left to read these novelists' manuscripts.
There are still many manuscripts that have not been reviewed.
But Lin Mo knew very well that he would not be able to view all the manuscripts in the remaining time.
He thought of something at this moment, and then searched according to the patient number.
He's looking for Patient No. 13.
I still remember when Lin Mo was trapped in the TV world, he once saw a medical record sheet, which said that Xiao Jiexi's patient number was Patient No. 13.
Sure enough, Lin Mo found it.
He looked at the novelist's description of little Jie Xi.
"A lonely and autistic little guy, his nature is kind, but his long-term isolation has given him the ability to give birth to an attached personality."
No, it’s simpler.
But Lin Mo saw a key point.
That is what kind of sub-personality little Jie Xi will develop. The novelist has no limit.
Seeing that Lin Mo now has a relatively clear understanding of the entire lunatic asylum.
According to the novelist's ability, he has the ability to realize the novel in the nightmare world, so there is a possibility.
The so-called Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3 and Ward 4 do not exist in themselves, but were created by novelists.
Including patients who originally existed here.
Of course, those who were later sent here were not among them.
So many patients here know about God and wise men, but they have never seen these two patients, because they have never seen them. They are like programs set by programmers.
There are only memories of these two patients in my memory, that's all.
It's like a lot of colorful bubbles crowded together, each bubble represents a novel world, big or small.
Then Lin Mo has reason to believe that many of the events that happened here are actually just plots described by novelists.
Take for example the disappearance of the dean.
Lin Mo had just seen a similar novel plot.
It was about the disappearance of the dean, and chaos broke out in several wards. Finally, the novel said that a patient was recognized by the managers of the four wards and became the new dean, which calmed the situation.
confusion.
The description of this section in the novel is very vague. It does not describe in detail how the new dean was recognized by the managers of the four major wards, nor does it describe who the new dean is.
When seeing this, Lin Mo suddenly came up with an interesting guess.
Is it because of this incident that the businessman suddenly decided to return to the lunatic asylum?
The reason is actually relatively simple.
Because in order to obtain the approval of the managers of the four wards, you must personally enter the four wards and meet the corresponding managers.
This is also reflected in the plot of the novel.
Interestingly, the novelists have different settings for the four wards, with the biggest difference being the first ward.
Ward 1 and Ward 4 cannot communicate with each other.
Moreover, even from the 2nd ward, you cannot enter the 1st ward. To enter the 1st ward, you can only enter from the outside.
This setting was something I saw just now when I was looking at the 1st ward setting set.
Lin Mo has a good memory, and since he just watched it, his memory is still fresh.
Then when a new director is born, if he must obtain the approval of the managers of the four wards, then the new director must first leave the lunatic asylum and then enter the first ward from the outside.
It's hard for Lin Mo not to associate this matter with businessmen.
Didn't the businessman use himself to return to the lunatic asylum from the first ward?
Lin Mo had never been able to figure out why the other party did this, but according to the plot of the novel "The Birth of the New Dean", every item can be explained.
"Let me think about it, so the businessman should have come into contact with the flashlight nurse in Ward 1, Professor Yang in Ward 2, and the old nun in Ward 4, so he came to line up to find the novelist.
, because he wants to enter Ward 3 and meet the manager of Ward 3, because he wants to become the new director of the lunatic asylum."
Lin Mo went through this speculation and found that it was very smooth, with almost no stuck points.
Just now, Lin Mo briefly flipped through the settings of Ward 3.
This ward is very special. The novelist did not write about this ward in great detail. Perhaps because he was not particularly satisfied with the story of the 3rd ward, the novelist closed the 3rd ward and treated it as a prison.
'.
It is specially used to detain some extremely vicious and extremely dangerous 'patients'.
To enter the third ward, the novelist must give permission and tell you the specific entry method before you can enter.
In this way, Lin Mo was almost 100% sure of the reason why businessmen lined up to meet the novelist.
The other party must be going to Ward 3.
Then if the businessman did go to the 3rd ward, it could also confirm Lin Mo's guess.
At this time, only a thin layer of the candle remains.
It may go out at any time.
Lin Mo looked at the table and saw a pen over there.
He quickly ran over with the manuscript on the birth of the new dean.
Lin Mo wanted to try and see if he could use the pen on the table to rewrite the ending, or add some restrictions. In short, he would not allow the businessman to succeed.
But Lin Mo couldn't pick up the pen on the table.
This item seems to weigh tens of thousands of catties.
Not allowed to use it?
Tsk, you thought you were the only one with a pen?
Lin Mo sneered and took out his own pencil.
After laying out the manuscript, Lin Mo took a pencil and prepared to write. However, when the tip of the pen was about to touch the manuscript, it seemed as if there was an invisible force preventing Lin Mo from writing.
"I'll wipe it!"
Lin Mo was a little annoyed.
You are not allowed to write with your own pen?
So domineering.
But this was an opportunity, and Lin Mo didn't want to miss it.
Use force.
Not enough.
"Xiao Yu!"
Lin Mo said hello, and soon, Xiaoyu's pale hand grasped Lin Mo's palm. The tip of the pen seemed to be about to touch the paper, but unfortunately, it was still a little short.
Obviously, with the addition of Lin Mo and Xiao Yu, the strength is still not enough.
This manuscript seems to be written only by novelists.
But Lin Mo is more stubborn.
"Mom, sister is here to help, where is dad?"
Lin Mo was at a disadvantage. Anyway, the candle could be extinguished at any time. If you seize this opportunity, you can seize it. If you can't seize it, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, try your best.
What if it succeeds?
My mother and sister also grabbed their hands.
With great force, the pen tip finally touched the paper.
But this is not enough, because to write, you also need the blessing of strength, otherwise you can only draw punctuation marks.
Fortunately, at the last moment, a thick palm stretched out and grabbed everyone's palms.
Dad is here.
Now I can finally write.
But the candle's flame also begins to dim, and in a few seconds at most, it will be completely extinguished.
The tip of the pen strokes.
puff!
The candle flame went out completely.
Everything around him was instantly swallowed up by darkness.
Lin Mo felt that the table was gone and the stool was gone.
When the light reappeared, Lin Mo found himself standing at the door of the novelist's ward, with a queue next to him.
it's over!
"How was it? Was it successful?" My sister was curious and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either." Lin Mo shook his head. In fact, he only had time to write one word just now, but he was not sure whether he had written the last stroke of the word.
If this stroke is missing, it obviously does not convey the meaning and will definitely be invalid.
But then again, if the novelist's manuscript only recognizes the novelist's writing, then it is useless even if I write one more story.
And even if the last word was not written, Lin Mo's gains this time were huge.
Because he discovered a secret about the Reef Asylum.
Big secret.
Everything here may be false, including where he is now, Ward 4, and most of the patients here.
They are all just stories created by novelists.
Very magical.
The level of reality here far exceeded other 'deep worlds' that Lin Mo had visited before, so much so that before seeing those manuscripts, Lin Mo had no idea that this place would be false.
But if you look back on this known result, you will find that some clues have actually been revealed a long time ago.
Just like how to enter a madhouse.
There is no exact address for this place and it is impossible to enter by yourself.
That's the problem.
Lin Mo looked at the novelist in the room. It was still extremely dark inside.
But for a moment, Lin Mo seemed to see the two rows of bookshelves hidden in the darkness.
The novelist seemed to sense something and raised his head to look out the door, but by this time, Lin Mo had already left.
Lin Mo knew very well that the most terrifying thing in the lunatic asylum was not the terrible patients, not the managers, or even the missing director.
The most terrifying thing here is the novelist.
He is the only 'god' here.
If "god" is defined as the being who creates everything, then there is no problem for Lin Mo to use "god" to describe novelists.
Although I only looked at a small part of the manuscripts just now, and even took a cursory glance at some manuscripts, if I only looked at the key points, Lin Mo actually understood a lot.
For example, if he wanted to, he could leave the asylum now.
It seemed to be the safest and safest way to completely leave this crazy and weird place and reach the outside world. However, Lin Mo felt that since he had already come and was tricked by the businessman, this debt must be repaid.
Otherwise, Lin Mo will regret it.
In addition, he now knows where the 'wise man' is imprisoned, and also knows the businessman's intention to become the new dean.
If he didn't do something, it would be very inconsistent with Lin Mo's character.
Lin Mo thought about it.
Let’s go meet the real ‘wise man’ first. Since even the novelist who created the wise man said that the wise man is smarter than the novelist himself, then maybe the wise man really knows how to get Lin Mo back home.
After meeting the wise man, go to the old nun who is the manager of Ward 4, and finally go to Ward 3.
