As Lin Mo counted three times, all sounds in the fifth-floor ghost pavilion disappeared.
At the same time, from the deepest part of this layer, a figure appeared.
With the appearance of this figure, all the surrounding light dimmed, leaving only a little bit around Lin Mo, at most a circle with a diameter of one meter.
The space swallowed by darkness was completely isolated, as if divided into two separate worlds.
Lin Mo had no reaction to changes in the surrounding environment.
Some nightmares with special abilities and forbidden abilities have the ability to change the environment.
This is not uncommon.
Looking at the figure slowly approaching in front of me, I knew that this should be the Ghost King on the fifth floor.
It's really strong enough.
It can be compared with Yuan Xiuqing.
However, that guy Yuan Xiuqing is completely controlled by the dark side and only knows how to chase and kill targets with aura of cause and effect. On the other hand, this fifth-level ghost king looks much more normal...
The other party turned out to be a fair-skinned scholar, his body spotlessly clean.
You can see that he is a very particular ghost.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the scholar looks very strange. He did not just walk over, but more like he grew from small to large, and his expression and movements did not change at all.
It's like a photo taken from a distance and taken close up.
After Lin Mo saw it, he felt something was wrong.
Later he came to his senses.
"Isn't this a shadow puppet show?"
The scholar who appeared in front of Lin Mo at this moment was like a character in an immersive shadow play, with a cut-out appearance that was almost motionless.
The falseness is very obvious.
It's not a projection, but it's not a painting either.
Because the limbs, head, and even the mouth and eyes of the shadow puppet can be moved.
At this moment, the shadow puppet scholar turned his eyes and looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo also watched it.
You don’t say anything, I don’t say anything!
Lin Mo was curious. Since the other party didn't speak, he planned to show friendship first.
So he reached out and grabbed it.
But he soon discovered that he couldn't catch him. As he moved forward, the distance between the other party and him still didn't change.
It's as if the other person is always in front of you.
No matter how Lin Mo moves, the distance between him and the shadow puppet scholar remains unchanged.
This was the first time Lin Mo had seen this kind of weirdness.
Lin Mo tried to communicate with the other party.
This time the shadow puppet scholar responded, but he just smiled and saluted. Because he looked like a shadow puppet, the posture of this salute was extremely weird.
In addition, because of the shadow puppets, the other party always only showed half of his face.
That is, the side face.
But other than this, the shadow puppet scholar didn't speak. He didn't seem to be able to speak. Even if he smiled, it was a very stiff fake smile.
Lin Mo asked it something.
The shadow puppet scholar just shook his head.
But in this scenario, shaking your head has several meanings.
It might be that it didn't understand what Lin Mo was saying, which was considered one; the second possibility was that it knew it, but didn't want to say it; the other was to stop Lin Mo from moving forward, shaking its head to indicate that it couldn't go.
Looking at it now, it is possible.
Lin Mo asked what happened just now, what happened to those ghosts blocking the road.
This time the shadow puppet scholar bowed and apologized.
He cupped his hands and bowed again.
So far, although the shadow puppet scholars themselves are very weird, they have behaved very politely. Although they cannot speak, their attitude is very good.
The main reason is that Lin Mo has never seen such a strange thing, and has no time to explore it.
He had thought about it, since the other party apologized, he would let the matter go for now.
Lin Mo didn't know what Lin Yuan would do in this situation, but Lin Mo felt that since he was his brother, his style of doing things should be similar.
That means not getting too hung up on one thing.
To put it more bluntly.
We are reasonable people. It doesn't matter if the other party makes a mistake. As long as we apologize seriously, admit our mistakes and correct them, we will not be unreasonable or unforgiving.
Of course, another reason why Lin Mo is not pursuing the case at the moment is that he is a fake, not the real Lin Yuan. If he really makes a move, he is afraid that the other party will resist.
If this resistance cannot be defeated, then the secret will be completely exposed.
So there are steps to go down, and Lin Mo doesn't mind going down.
"Okay, now that I've apologized, I won't pursue him any further. You can go!" Lin Mo waved his hand and asked the other party to leave.
He still has important things to attend to.
The shadow puppet scholar opposite did not move.
Those weird glasses just kept looking at Lin Mo.
The original gesture of bowing and apologizing also stopped.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit wrong.
The surrounding darkness began to erode forward, slowly eroding the light at Lin Mo's feet.
"Is the secret revealed?" Lin Mo had a thought in his mind.
This is the only possibility.
Obviously, the real Lin Yuan might not let him go easily, or Lin Mo might have made a mistake from the beginning. The real Lin Yuan might be very familiar with this shadow puppet scholar.
Or there is a grudge!
Anyway, there must have been something wrong with my performance just now.
But Lin Mo didn't feel embarrassed or pity at all.
Because he is not Lin Yuan in the first place, it is okay to let him walk silently, but as soon as he opens his mouth or makes a move, there are bound to be loopholes, and it will be a matter of time before the secret is exposed.
Suddenly, the shadow puppet scholar let out a weird laugh.
The sound is sharp.
With sarcasm.
It turns out that the other party can speak, but he was just pretending.
Following the laughter of the shadow puppet scholar, laughter also came from the surrounding darkness, as if there were people standing around, laughing at Lin Mo together.
Lin Mo also laughed.
He shook the brick hammer, and the flames on the bricks shot up very high, illuminating the surroundings a little more. The darkness was also dispersed a lot, and at least Lin Mo could see clearly the things within two or three meters around him.
"Xiao Yu, kill it!"
It is Lin Mo's characteristic to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Although the other party just laughed sharply and did not take action, Lin Mo knew very well that the ghost king on the fifth floor had already decided to stop him from the moment he stepped onto the fifth floor.
It was destined that he would not be able to climb to the sixth floor easily.
When Lin Mo killed the ghosts blocking his way, the ghosts fled in all directions. Lin Mo searched everywhere but could not find the stairs going up. Obviously, the stairs were hidden by something.
From that moment on, Lin Mo knew that things could not be improved.
If the ghost king on the fifth floor dares to stop him, it means that the other party realizes that he is fake and a counterfeit, and he is more than 70% sure.
That's why I dared to let those ghosts block my way and see my reaction.
But just now the Ghost King appeared, and his performance increased the opponent's certainty to 90%.
The reason why I haven't taken action immediately is that I still have some doubts.
But Lin Mo didn't want to follow the opponent's rhythm anymore.
Don’t you still have some doubts?
It doesn't matter, I'll help you get rid of your last doubt.
No matter what he is doing, Lin Mo doesn't like to be passive, because even if it is delayed any longer, there is little point in continuing the performance.
It's better to cut through the mess with a sharp knife.
Let’s see the real chapter below.
Black iron chains emerged from all around and attacked the shadow puppet scholar in front of him. Lin Mo even slammed the turning hammer in his hand towards the opponent.
Lin Mo was also observing just now. He couldn't meet the shadow puppet scholar, so the problem might lie at his feet.
Because he moved, the shadow puppet scholar also moved, maintaining a fixed distance between them.
In this case, just throw something over and see if it can hit it.
Lin Mo made the right bet.
This time, the brick hammer hit the shadow puppet scholar directly in the face. The shadow puppet scholar wailed, swayed, and hid in the darkness.
