Being stared at by a group of ghosts is a feeling that most people cannot bear.
More than just fear.
There is also the coldness and malice that can be felt, like a cold arctic wind sweeping across all kinds of stench, coming over the surface.
"What's going on down there?" Xiaoyu came over and wanted to take a look.
"It's okay, there's nothing." Lin Mo pulled Xiao Yu back.
Lin Mo knew very well that those things below had bad intentions...
I guess like Hu Lingling, they came here for Xiao Yu.
If a fight breaks out, Lin Mo is not afraid, but after all, there are many people on the other side, so it is not impossible to defeat him, but now is not the time to really fight.
Lin Mo still understood the enemy's strategy of advancing while we retreat.
"Let's climb out of the window, grab the corner of the wall outside, and jump to the roof of the next yard."
Lin Mo opened the window and took a look, and an escape route was perfectly presented in his mind.
At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and the sound of people going up the stairs was heard.
Time is running out.
Lin Mo looked back at Hu Lingling, then kicked the guy down the stairs, and then shouted: "Chu Yu fell down."
In an instant, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling below, mixed with Hu Lingling's terrified screams.
Lin Mo didn't waste any time here. He put the black umbrella into Xiaoyu's hand, picked her up and rolled her out of the window.
The curse-enhanced physique allows him to do things beyond ordinary people.
He ran a few steps on the wall, jumped to the rooftop a few meters away, then continued jumping forward and fell into a small alley.
Xiaoyu was dumbfounded the whole time.
Only after landing did he come back to his senses.
"You are so awesome."
Lin Mo was obviously very proud of the beauty's praise.
Seeing Xiaoyu return the black umbrella, Lin Mo waved his hand and said we can hold the umbrella together.
"It's not raining, why do you need an umbrella?" Xiaoyu didn't quite understand. If Lin Mo hadn't saved her just now, she would have definitely thought that the man in front of her was a psychopath.
If Lin Mo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be surprised at how the other party saw it.
"What's your name?" Xiaoyu asked at this time. She didn't know how she got to this place, and she couldn't remember what happened before.
Even her best friend turned into a ghost.
Fortunately, this man saved her.
"My name is Lin Mo, you can call me Xiao Mo." Lin Mo introduced himself seriously, but this feeling was very strange, but Lin Mo was very happy.
Xiao Yu has forgotten the pain and despair of the past. Now she has no resentment and hatred, and even her malice has disappeared.
It's like being purified in some way.
This is what Lin Mo hopes Xiaoyu will become.
Now that the coincidence was achieved, Lin Mo decided that no one would want to give Xiao Yu any more resentment and hatred, and he would take Xiao Yu back in this state.
"My name is Chu Yu." Xiao Yu also introduced herself, and then asked: "Where is this place? Just now Lingling..."
Lin Mo said don't miss Hu Lingling. As for this place, it is your dream.
"Yes, you are dreaming, and ghosts only exist in dreams. Xiao Yu, just treat this as a dream. When you wake up from the dream, everything will be fine."
Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.
"Come, follow me."
Lin Mo stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yu. They had to leave this place first and find a safe place.
In this situation, Lin Mo successfully found Xiao Yu, but he didn't know how to leave this place, that is, through the deformed black door.
Do you have to leave the well with the corpse of the giant?
To be honest, Lin Mo didn't want to go down that well again.
Of course, if that was the only exit, Lin Mo would have no choice but to go down.
This town is full of weirdness and abnormality, with almost no normal people.
Except for the light rain, the old couple in the yard next door looked normal at first.
At this time, Lin Mo's heart moved.
I didn't think about many things in detail at first, but now that I think about it, I will find some interesting things.
It's like he thought there would be many normal people in this place.
But after walking around, I discovered that except for Xiao Yu, only the old couple in this town were normal, and the others, including the night watchman, had problems.
Especially the watchman, who was followed by a group of those who looked like normal people.
This courage is second only to his own.
Besides, when he came in, he was right next door to the old couple.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
Lin Mo thought about it and decided to go back.
Go find the old couple and ask what's going on.
Although Xiaoyu is timid, she has a very strong character. She whispered this to Lin Mo along the way. The two held hands and held umbrellas, like a young couple.
At this time, Xiaobai, who was lying on Lin Mo's back, looked at Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu did not dare to look at him and could only pretend not to see him.
If you add this child, it's not a young couple, but a young couple walking their baby.
There are really many ghosts in this town.
When passing a small stone bridge, in the water channel below, there were male corpses floating on their backs and female corpses floating on their backs.
Very fierce, very evil!
If you look at them, they will open their eyes and look at you.
No loss at all.
"Look, there is a lantern." Xiaoyu didn't dare to look down or to the side. Xiaobai kept looking at her and giggling, so she could only look up.
At this time, there were several things like Kongming lanterns floating above.
Floating, emitting a shimmering light.
Quite beautiful.
Quite beautiful.
Lin Mo took a look and reached out to cover Xiaoyu's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu was puzzled, but she was very gentle. Unlike others who stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, she let Lin Mo cover her eyes and asked.
"nothing."
Lin Mo couldn't explain it either.
The main thing is that the thing floating with a faint light is not a sky lantern, but a human head.
Why glow.
Because the head holds a candle in its mouth.
Lin Mo couldn't tell what this was, but it was very dangerous. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you see or hear it, no matter how weird or scary you are, it has nothing to do with me.
You do your thing, I do mine, and we don't disturb each other.
The role of the black umbrella is now revealed.
If there was no black umbrella, Lin Mo would definitely cause an uproar in this place and be beaten by a group of people.
Besides, there are many ghosts here looking for Xiao Yu.
Like Hu Lingling, they seem to be contaminated by Xiao Yu's cause and effect, so they must kill her.
But the black umbrella can shield this cause and effect to a certain extent.
That's why Lin Mo and Xiao Yu can walk around the town safely. Occasionally they encounter some unclean things. Those with weak yin energy can just ignore them. If they encounter powerful ones, let's take the initiative to get out of the way. Wouldn't everyone be happy?
"How do you know me?" Xiaoyu kept chatting with Lin Mo in a low voice in order to ease the tension. Mainly because he was silent in this place and was a little scared.
"We met while playing a game." Lin Mo replied, he didn't lie, we really met through a game.
I am playing the pen fairy game.
"What kind of game is this?" Xiao Yu became more naive, but her curiosity didn't change.
"The pen fairy game!" Lin Mo said truthfully.
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, maybe she thought it was cool: "It's so powerful, is it fun? They said this game is very dangerous, and they will really summon the Bixian. By the way, did the Bixian come out at that time? Have you seen it?
What does it look like?”
It was difficult for Lin Mo to answer this question.
But Xiaoyu couldn't resist asking, so he said that Bixian had come out and had seen her before, and she looked very good-looking.
"Really pretty?"
“Really beautiful!”
"Then, what did Bi Xian do after that? Did you ask any questions? I heard that Bi Xian knew everything."
"Not necessarily." Lin Mo said: "This pen fairy is a bit silly. She even wanted to strangle me to death at first. Of course I am not afraid of her."
"That sounds exciting. Are you bragging? Then why didn't she strangle you to death?"
"I have a brother named Bai who helped me. Alas, it's all in the past. Later, Bixian and I turned enemies into friends."
"You make friends with ghosts?" Xiao Yu looked admiring.
Lin Mo said what was so great about this, and also said that he had a friend named Jiang who was in love with a female ghost.
This is already a very conservative statement.
If the truth is told, Lin Mo actually has a fierce godson, and so does his father.
But you can’t say everything, otherwise there will be nothing to talk about later.
During the chat, Xiaoyu was no longer as nervous and scared as she was at the beginning. She kept asking Lin Mo how that friend named Jiang fell in love with the female ghost.
"How would I know? They didn't ask me to watch them when they were sleeping." Lin Mo spread his hands.
Xiaoyu was right.
Maybe she was a little embarrassed to keep asking this question, so she changed the subject.
I asked Lin Mo what the fat kid lying on his back was doing.
"Did he fall into the noodle vat?"
"What noodle pot? This is Xiaobai. Although he doesn't look good, he has a good personality. Come on, Xiaobai, give your sister Xiaoyu a smile. Don't be shy."
We've arrived.
The courtyard where the old couple lived.
Lin Mo noticed that the yard next door, the one with the well, was indeed dilapidated and looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time. The white walls were peeling off and there were some weeds growing around it.
It's pitch black, and it looks like a haunted house anyway.
But Lin Mo felt that this house was certainly extraordinary.
Otherwise, why would I come out of the well in this house?
Do business.
Lin Mo stepped forward and was about to knock on the old couple's courtyard door.
It turned out that there were many more bloody fingerprints on the door panel than before.
I feel like after I left, a lot of unclean things came knocking on the door.
Lin Mo felt that he might not be able to open it by knocking, because there were two possibilities. One was that the ghost got in and the old couple were killed; the second was that the ghost didn't get in, but the old couple were probably scared out of their wits and knocked it by themselves.
Can't open it either.
"Let's climb over the wall and get in."
Lin Mo and Xiao Yu said something.
Xiaoyu has no objection.
Lin Mo is the one who makes the decision now. Whatever Lin Mo says, she will agree to it.
This time Xiaoyu didn't let Lin Mo hold her, she said she could crawl by herself.
Lin Mo was lifting her up from below. After lifting her up, Lin Mo also turned over and climbed up.
As a result, when I looked in the yard, I saw a dark figure standing at the door of the house.
Lin Mo had seen this dark shadow before.
This was the guy who knocked on the door and tricked this old couple into opening the door.
At that time, Lin Mo and I even looked at each other on the edge of the courtyard wall.
The other person was wearing a black mandarin jacket and a melon-pipe hat, which was also black, but Lin Mo didn't realize that he was so tall at the time.
A slender figure with long arms, a long neck, and even a long head.
Like a pulled candy man.
At this moment, this thing was standing at the door of the house, and the house was quiet. I didn't know what happened to the old couple.
Xiaoyu's expression changed when she saw this thing, and Lin Mo quickly reached out to cover her eyes.
Then he leaned into her ear and said, "Close your eyes and you won't be afraid anymore!"
After saying that, he handed the black umbrella to her hand and jumped down.
The lanky ghost's perception was stronger than Lin Mo's. When Lin Mo came out of the black umbrella, it turned its head sharply and looked over, but it only saw a gradually enlarging fire brick.
The Slender Ghost reached out and grabbed the brick, forcefully neutralizing the attack.
The fingers of this thing are also long, one finger is as long as three of a normal person, and they are so strong that they can actually make bricks squeak when they are squeezed.
Lin Mo saw traces of brick powder falling.
"Holy shit!"
Furious in his heart, Lin Mo drew a knife with his other hand and slashed.
Tiger bone sickle.
It was very strong from the beginning, capable of killing ghosts and monsters, and its sharpness and attack power were off the charts. But after it was strengthened by devouring other swords on the Glutton, it became even more powerful.
In Lin Mo's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved with one blow.
If there is, then take another stab.
Lin Mo's skills with the knife have reached a very high level through constant practice. He can chop with the knife and do it in one go.
This knife hit the opponent's neck directly.
Cut it in half, and the result is stuck.
Lin Mo used both hands, and the other party had one free hand.
He immediately grabbed it towards Lin Mo's heart.
Maybe he wanted to have his heart ripped out by a black tiger.
Judging from the opponent's fingers, which are almost as long as chopsticks, you can't let him dig them in.
"Ghost, stop it!"
Lin Mo shouted.
Ghostly hands stretched out from the shadow under his feet, grabbing the opponent's arm and blocking him with all his strength.
The sharp fingers were only an inch away from Lin Mo's heart.
All this happens in the blink of an eye.
The first wave was evenly matched.
This lanky ghost is indeed powerful, with the strength of an A-level nightmare.
But Lin Mo still had a backup plan.
His curse attack.
The next moment, Lin Mo let go of the hand holding the knife and strangled the opponent's neck.
Several curses were blasted away in an instant.
Especially the Curse of Aging.
No matter who it is, after being attacked by this curse, the combat power will be reduced. Coupled with skinning, bone crushing, heart-eating and burning, only those who have truly experienced it will know the sour feeling.
Under the concentrated curse attack, the Slender Ghost's expression gradually became serious.
It also let go of Brick and grabbed Lin Mo's neck.
This is called following one's example.
It felt that if Lin Mo could do this, it could do it too.
"Steel!"
Lin Mo's neck immediately turned black, and the Slender Ghost pinched it for a long time. When it reacted and wanted to do something else, a brick hammer hit its head.
Once, twice!
The Slender Ghost fell to the ground.
When Lin Mo hit it eleven times, the other party's chopstick-like fingers finally let go, dropped and twitched, and finally stopped moving.
Lin Mo waved his hand, and his ghostly shadow immediately cleared the light rain on the wall.
Xiaoyu still closed her eyes.
Lin Mo said she could open it, so she opened it.
"Did you secretly open your eyes just now?" Lin Mo asked her.
Xiaoyu nodded nervously.
"It's okay. You have to get used to this kind of thing. Once you get used to it, you won't be afraid."
Lin Mo called out a few ghost figures and told her that these were his ghost friends.
"I have so many friends that I can't count them on two hands and two feet. You will see them in the future."
After saying that, Lin Mo went to knock on the door.
There was no movement in the house.
I guess the old couple were shivering in bed.
Let a ghost figure sneak in and remove the door latch. Lin Mo went in and took a look, and it was true that the quilt on the bed was bulging and shaking non-stop.
…
Lin Mo spent some time convincing the old couple that he was neither a bad person nor a ghost.
The candles were lit again in the room.
Through conversation, Lin Mo learned that this place was called "Liangcheng", that the old man's surname was Yuan, and that the old woman's surname was also Yuan. He couldn't find out anything else of value.
The old couple didn't know that it was already a night of ghosts outside, so they thought everything was normal.
Lin Mo didn't say much.
If there is no special reason, he will not talk too much to the two NPCs.
At this time, there was another knock on the door outside the yard.
"Open the door, open the door quickly."
Everyone in the room was stunned.
"Second uncle, I'm Xiuqing, open the door quickly!"
This was the second time Lin Mo heard the name "Xiu Qing".
It seemed that the lanky ghost had mentioned this name before. The other person at that time said the same thing as the person knocking on the door now. He also said it was Xiuqing and called him Second Uncle.
Lin Mo asked if he wanted to open the door, and Lao Yuantou hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, there must be something dirty outside. You can't open the door."
He had been frightened before, let alone suspecting that it was not Xiu Qing, even if it was, he would not open it.
The knocking on the door continued for a long time. Maybe he knew that the person in the house would not open the door, so he stopped knocking.
Lin Mo asked Old Yuan Tou who Xiu Qing was.
"My nephew went out a few days ago and said he wouldn't be back until the end of the year."
Lin Mo continued to ask about Xiu Qing.
He felt that this Xiuqing was not simple.
Otherwise, why don’t those ghosts pretend to be someone else but Xiu Qing?
There must be a reason.
Only after asking this question did I know that this person named Yuan Xiuqing is really not a simple person.
What's not simple is that even his second uncle doesn't know what he does.
"Xiuqing, this kid, is very mysterious."
"He has many friends, and they often ask him to go out in the middle of the night."
"Besides, Xiuqing spends a lot of money and eats, drinks and wears the best."
Lin Mo listened and wanted to ask you how you became the second uncle and second aunt. It's outrageous that your nephew doesn't know what he does for a living.
At this time, there was another knock outside.
Bang bang bang!
"Second uncle, second aunt, open the door quickly, I am Xiu Qing."
The old couple still had no intention of opening the door.
They were scared out of their wits, so they thought they would be fine if they stayed up until dawn.
Lin Mo knew, however, that there was definitely no daybreak in this place.
This time Lin Mo got up and walked out, opening the door while everyone was stunned.
Standing outside the door was a man wearing a black mandarin jacket and long robe. He looked to be in his thirties, calm and capable, mainly because he didn't look like a ghost.
Of course this is not a ghost.
At least not a ghost in this memory world.
Lin Mo also felt it and came out to open the door.
The people at the door were also stunned when they saw Lin Mo.
"Who are you? Where is my second uncle?"
Lin Mo didn't say anything, just smiled and stared at the other person looking up and down.
The old couple in the house came out after seeing clearly who was outside.
"Xiu Qing, why are you back? Come in quickly, it's not clean outside."
With that said, he dragged the man in, then closed the door again and locked the bolt.
