Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh seven lives, cat god
Why does the man in the tuxedo want to kill the gambler first?
Lin Mo thought about this question.
There are only two possibilities. One is that they had a grudge before. After all, they are neighbors who live upstairs and downstairs. There is no way they can bump into each other on weekdays. It is inevitable to have conflicts. Otherwise, why would Lin Mo be on the second floor?
Lou said he wanted to go to the third floor to play poker, and the gambler agreed so readily?
She must be planning on seducing the man in the dress.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is the instinct to pick out weak persimmons.
There are three people here, and there is only one gambler.
The man in the tuxedo obviously saw this, so when he got the chance, he killed the single gambler.
But Lin Mo thinks this is unlikely...
If it were him, he would definitely unite with another company to deal with the one with the greatest momentum.
He is more inclined to have a grudge between the man in the suit and the gambler.
Now they can choose to continue playing poker games, or not.
Of course, it's not up to them whether they want to play or not, but they can decide on their own whether to take action or not.
Lin Mo planned to talk to the man in the dress.
The other party is so well-dressed, wearing a dress, top hat and leather shoes, so he should be able to talk to her.
"What do you call this gentleman?"
Lin Mo began to use his communication skills.
Be silent.
It doesn't matter.
"It turns out to be Mr. Anonymous, hello, hello, I've seen you for a long time!"
You're right to be polite first.
Regardless of whether it is on earth or in hell, this rule applies regardless of whether you reach out and hit the smiling person.
"As for the situation, I believe you can see that we are also forced to play poker games. There is no hatred between us, so why bother looking for trouble by fighting and killing each other? It's better to do this. In the poker game, it deals the cards by itself.
, Anyway, let’s agree on the same opinion and stop playing. Let’s make friends. If you have anything to do, we will help you. If we have something, we will definitely call you. Do you think this will work?”
Lin Mo thinks this proposal is very good.
The other party has no reason to refuse.
There are three people on my side, and there is strength in numbers, but there is only one on the other side, alone.
Besides, if there's nothing to enmity about, why bother trying to make both sides suffer.
It was also Lin Mo who didn't feel too strong resentment and hatred from the other party. There was quite a lot of malice, but this thing could still be suppressed as long as the other party was willing to control it.
While talking, Lin Mo also frequently flashed his muscles.
Does this trick work?
Apparently useful.
The man in the tuxedo was obviously frightened, and he could feel the malice in the other person fading away.
Maybe Lin Mo used a bewitching curse when he spoke.
It is also possible that he really felt the powerful aura from Lin Mo and his father.
Anyway, the man in the dress stretched out his hand and took out a card from his pocket. He handed it over without looking at it.
It should have been when Lin Mo was talking just now that Poker automatically dealt cards to the four people present.
And it seems that as long as you don't look at the hole cards, the poker game can be over.
Lin Mo felt in his pocket and found his own cards, then took them back from his father and Zhang Meng, sorted the playing cards and put them back into the small box.
The faint aura on the playing cards disappeared.
It turns out that ending a poker game is so easy.
All you have to do is not look at the cards.
Correspondingly, as long as one participant reads the cards, the game cannot end.
Lin Mo told the man in the dress that they planned to go upstairs.
The original intention is just to let the other party rest and not to stop them.
But after hearing this, the man in the dress turned around, walked towards the stairs, and took the lead in walking up.
"Are you so enthusiastic?" Lin Mo muttered, but since the man in the dress was willing to take them to the fourth floor, they had no reason not to follow.
When going upstairs, Zhang Meng whispered: "District Chief, I think this guy doesn't attack us not because you convinced him, but because he is full."
Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at Zhang Meng.
I have to say that this otaku girl has a lot of imagination, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
Zhang Meng's implication was to remind Lin Mo that the man in the dress was untrustworthy.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Lin Mo certainly knows which weird things are worthy of belief and which ones are not. He knows this very well.
When you get to the fourth floor, the curse smell here becomes very strong.
And on this floor, you can vaguely hear bursts of weird music, as if someone is playing a recording of music on a computer.
At this time, Dad grabbed Lin Mo.
"This sound is the source of the curse."
Lin Mo also heard it.
In front, the man in the dress stood motionless. Next to him, there was an old-fashioned record player, which looked like a brass trumpet. A record was playing, but the record player seemed to be malfunctioning. Not only was the sound low, but it also played
The music has been distorted and even intermittent.
Lin Mo walked over and took a look. The record said 'Sin - Seven Lives'.
Weird song title.
But it fits this cursed name very well.
Lin Mo understood.
This old-fashioned record player must have been playing the song "Seven Lives" on a loop before.
After being immersed in this song for a long time, many zombie monsters were infected with this curse, and thus they had seven lives. However, this seven-life curse will only take effect after complete death.
In Lin Mo's plan, the curse of seven lives was not the first choice.
Only when he is desperate will he choose this seven-life curse.
The man in the tuxedo is also very familiar with the fourth floor. It can be seen that he has been here often before.
It is possible that the third and fourth floors are its territory.
Lin Mo walked over at this time, turned off the record player, and then took a small piece of yellow paper and pasted it on the old record.
Slowly, words appeared on this small piece of yellow paper.
7-4 Lies (seven lives)
After taking a look, Lin Mo was a little surprised.
This interpretation of curses is rare.
Apparently there are two curses entangled together. Of these two curses, one is a lie and the other is the Seven Lives.
Lin Mo didn't understand the curse of Sequence 7 and had never seen it before.
"In other words, if you are contaminated with this curse, it's buy one, get one free?" Lin Mo muttered.
Dad told Lin Mo that he had seen the curse of sequence 7 before.
"Xiao Mo, my suggestion is to try not to be contaminated by this curse. Sequence No. 7 is 'sin'. It is best not to be exposed to the curse of the entire No. 7 sequence. The consequence of being contaminated is to bear the guilt that comes with it. Maybe you are just starting to read
If you don’t come out, but over time, it will definitely do more harm than good.”
This is the advice given by my father.
Lin Mo understood.
But he only had less than three days. If it really came to the last moment, he would have to bear the consequences.
If you use it, there will be negative consequences in the future.
No need, it disappeared on the spot.
There is actually no choice in this multiple-choice question.
Properly send score questions.
Dad said there was a choice.
After speaking, he pulled Lin Mo aside and took out something from his stomach.
"Dad, you can still hide something in your stomach?" Lin Mo was quite surprised. Dad said that your kid has never seen the world, so he was making a fuss: "What is this? I have seen someone hiding something in his head, your dad."
Da Na, when I was taking things, my whole head was opened, don’t even mention that scene.”
What dad took out was a dark statue.
It's a cat!
Cat statue.
This thing was previously wrapped in a layer of newspaper and tied with a rope. The newspaper seemed to have the ability to isolate curses. Anyway, when he opened the newspaper and saw the statue, Lin Mo felt a strong breath of curses.
This is also a source of curses.
"Xiao Mo, didn't you take away a nightmare called Shui Gui from the junk alley before? The other party is contaminated by this curse. You should know that it is called the 'Cat God' and can give you nine lives."
When Lin Mo heard this, he really remembered that there was such a curse.
It's present in bad ghosts.
Lin Mo had seen it at that time, and Shai Gui said that this curse was acquired in the junk alley. It seemed that a dark cat-shaped statue stayed there for one night, and the curse came from it.
It had been a long time and there were many things, but Lin Mo actually forgot about them.
If his father hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered it.
"Originally, I didn't want to take it out. I thought that the seven lives you mentioned might be better. Who knew it was actually the evil curse of sequence 7. In comparison, the Cat God is much stronger."
Why does Dad's words sound a bit like Versailles?
Lin Mo said, Dad, since you have been holding the curse source of the Cat God's Curse, why didn't you take it out? This is so stressful. If you had known that there was the curse source of the Cat God's Curse, you wouldn't have to sweat so much.
The father shook his head: "Of course I have my reasons. Like Seven Lives, Cat God's Curse also has disadvantages, but compared to Seven Lives, Cat God's disadvantages are smaller."
"Then, what are the specific disadvantages?" Lin Mo also wanted to know.
When he asked the question, he was wondering if it was a sign of decline, right?
As bad as a bad ghost?
Then Lin Mo would rather bear the burden of sin.
Decline is definitely not an option.
Don't even think about it.
Dad didn't know what Lin Mo was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, but he explained seriously: "I have learned about this. The cat god's curse will have nine lives. The disadvantage is that from now on, there is no way to be hostile to cat creatures and nightmares. On the contrary
, and can’t help but get close to each other.”
Lin Mo stared and thought for a while.
It may not seem like much at first, but if you think about it carefully, you’ll find it’s quite bad.
If you encounter a cat nightmare in the future and the other party wants to kill you, this is cursed by the cat god, and you may even take the initiative to stick your head out and let the other party kill you.
This definitely won't work.
But the nine lives brought by the cat god's curse are indeed quite delicious.
"Which is the lesser of two powers that harm each other, Xiaomo, if you really can't find a better one by then, you can only use the Cat God."
Dad said so.
Lin Mo asked, should this 'Seven Lives' curse be taken away?
"I won't take it with you anymore. It's a sinful curse. It's best not to touch it. There's no need to waste any more time. Let's go."
Dad took the lead and turned around.
Lin Mo was an obedient child and nodded.
Also, the cat god has nine lives and only seven lives. Considering the number, you should choose the former.
"Leaving now?" Zhang Meng followed up and asked.
She doesn't quite understand the situation yet.
Lin Mo briefly talked about it, and Zhang Meng suddenly understood.
"The curse of the Cat God sounds good to me from the name, and I want nine lives too." Zhang Meng began to pester Lin Mo to act coquettishly, and Lin Mo said that the curse was in the hands of my father.
Zhang Meng ran to take another bite from Uncle.
After going down to the second floor, Dad told another reason why Lin Mo was not allowed to take away the source of the Seven Lives Curse.
"There was something wrong with the man in the dress just now."
Dad is well-informed and experienced, so he must have a reason for saying this.
Lin Mo actually felt the same way.
Because the other party was too cooperative.
But neither Lin Mo nor his father could tell what exactly was wrong.
It just doesn't feel right.
"No matter what it is, let's just not get involved. Remember, there is no such thing as an eternal victory in this world. Xiaomo, when you encounter something that cannot be solved, don't be aggressive. You must know how to step back and recognize the situation.
Be cowardly, there is no harm in being cowardly."
Dad is teaching the philosophy of life again.
But now on the fourth floor, the man in the suit was still standing where he was.
It's a little lost.
The next moment, he looked down at the old-fashioned record player, stretched out his fingers as long as chopsticks, put the record on it, and started playing.
The music became more and more distorted.
There seemed to be a hint of strange whispers mixed in.
"What a pity, what a pity!"
…
When he came out of the studio, Zhang Meng was pestering Lin's father.
The noise made the latter's brain hurt.
"It takes a long time to be infected with the Cat God's curse. You have to keep a close eye on Xiao Mo first. In this way, I will give him the source of the curse in two days. If you have anything to do, just go to Xiao Mo directly."
Zhang Meng was finally sent away.
Outside, Fatty was bragging to other nightmares.
He said that the Xiaobai he was holding in his hand was his son. Several nightmares around him were stunned for a moment, and all of them were in awe.
The head of the ghost in pajamas just giggled.
Obviously I really like the atmosphere of Green Garden Community.
When he saw Lin Mo and Lin's father coming out, Fatty immediately greeted them, and the nightmares around him also said hello.
Some newcomers have never met Lin Mo, but the famous names such as ‘District Chief’ and ‘Lin Zhuanjia’ are already familiar to them. Whenever they are in Green Garden Community, their ears are calloused.
Nie Hong, who had a good relationship with Lin Mo, glanced at Lin Mo at this time, and immediately walked over and sniffed him.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Nie Hong looked concerned.
Dandanma also squeezed over, with a look of disbelief on her face.
They could all detect that Lin Mo had no breath of living people. Doesn't this mean that Lin Mo was dead and became just like them?
"It's not what you think." Lin Mo didn't have time to explain.
"We will help you." Nie Hong and Dandanma expressed their stance. Not only the two of them, but also many nightmares in the community who were familiar with Lin Mo came around.
Lin Mo also saw the little red dress she hadn't seen for a long time.
Now Little Red Dress is holding the hands of her parents, looking particularly happy.
Perhaps because she felt Lin Mo's breath, Xiao Hongqun let go of her parents' hands, ran over, and hugged Lin Mo.
Father Lin had never seen such a scene before, and he was stunned but also a little relieved.
"This kid looks like he can do better than me."
Lively is lively, caring is also true caring.
But Lin Mo still had to go to the Qianlong City Headquarters to ask Professor Xie and Lin Nan about the curse of the undead, so there was really no time to delay.
And it’s not easy to talk about it everywhere.
So Lin Mo just said that he had nothing to do and that he had to go out soon.
As for Nie Hong and Dandanma, who offered to go with them, Lin Mo said that they couldn't help if they came, so they should just stay at home.
Little Red Skirt asked Lin Mo to wait a moment.
She ran back, and when she came out again, she already had a handful of red balloons in her hand and stuffed them directly into Lin Mo's hand.
