Chapter seven hundred and forty-eight there is no eternal enemy in the world
The owner of this shop is very interesting.
They actually said it so straightforwardly in front of Lin Mo that their original plan was to get rid of him.
Now an alternative plan has been thrown out.
Apparently the first choice plan failed and was unattainable.
The store owner did not deny this.
"Mr. Lin, you are right. The plan to get rid of you has indeed failed. And if I think about it carefully, I don't have much confidence in getting rid of you, especially if I do something unrealistic, it would be better to talk about something real."
"What's real? Your plan B?"
"right."
"You tell me and I listen."
The shop owner waved his hand at this time, and the fat self-destructing nightmare behind him retreated into the darkness.
"There is a saying that you must have heard, Mr. Lin, that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in the world."
"You want to make peace?"
Lin Mo was really surprised.
That's what the store owner obviously meant.
If we can't fight or kill, then let's make friends.
This is in line with Lin Mo's character.
To be honest, the owner of this shop is a nice person. If we put aside the identity of the other person as a fake, we can still chat with each other.
The kind with congenial personalities.
"Mr. Lin, I respect you very much, and even fear you. To be honest, without you, it would not be difficult for us to eventually control the entire human world."
Lin Mo believes this.
The abilities of the dummies are so special that once they catch their eye and find an opportunity to imitate and copy them, there is a risk of being replaced.
After replacement, all the memories of the target will be obtained, and they can even wake up in the real world like a living person.
This is too dangerous.
Because of this, when the dummy was discovered, the General Administration and even higher-level leaders listed the dummy as the highest level threat.
Must be eradicated.
Coupled with Lin Mo's presence, at least in the safe areas of the city he visited, the dummies were basically eliminated.
"Even in a huge project, one variable can affect the whole, and Mr. Lin, you are that variable. If I can get rid of you, I am even willing to die with you."
The shop owner said something.
Lin Mo knew that the other party was telling the truth.
Because when the self-destruction nightmare appeared just now, as long as I showed a hint of cowardice, the other party would probably self-destruct.
Of course, the result is that all the people and nightmares here, and even within a dozen meters around, will be destroyed.
This is a nightmare world. Once you die here, you really die.
Lin Mo understood the store owner's thoughts at this time.
Because they have their own existence, no matter how they develop or infiltrate their dummies, they will eventually be picked out and eliminated one by one.
This is a war doomed to fail.
The shop owner is obviously a very special being among the dummies. He belongs to the top, the leader and the controller. He has given birth to the kind of selflessness of "I am for the tribe".
So he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the tribe.
Likewise, they will choose to take risks and negotiate with themselves for the sake of the group.
"So after you found out that you couldn't get rid of me, you chose an alternative plan and negotiated with me?"
"Yes, although it sounds a bit snobbish and realistic, I prefer to be honest."
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about these little things."
Lin Mo waved his hand.
Then I thought about it and asked the other party: "Both parties have their own demands in this negotiation. I know your demands, but what about mine? It seems that I have nothing to ask of you, so I can kill you first.
Then continue hunting the dummies until all the dummies are eliminated."
The shop owner shook his head at this time: "No, Mr. Lin, you are wrong. It is true that we have something to ask of you; but you do not need our help. To take a step back, we are not at the mercy of others.
You are a soft persimmon. Although you are an immortal, you will suffer enough pain in the near-death attacks, and these can be avoided. In addition, there will only be more and more dummies in the future, and in other parts of the ocean, you will suffer enough pain.
At one end, on the other side of the mountain, in other countries, there are already millions of dummies. If they invade, can you stop them?"
Lin Mo smiled after hearing this.
I have to say that this shop owner is a master negotiator.
Not like a homebody at all.
"In addition, Mr. Lin, think about it, if we cooperate with you and stop invading and infiltrating in major cities, will this be a merit for you?"
Lin Mo was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about this.
"Can you do it?" Lin Mo asked the shop owner.
The shop owner looked proud: "I can do it."
It seems that this shop owner has the ability to influence other dummies.
Lin Mo didn't speak at this time.
He is thinking.
At the beginning, he really had no intention of negotiating with the other party. To him, killing the dummies one by one was like exterminating pests and rats, and there was no need to be merciful at all.
But a few words from the shop owner made Lin Mo realize something.
On his own, even with the support of the General Administration and even the local security bureaus, it seems unrealistic to completely eliminate the dummies.
The final result may be a tug of war.
The kind that lasts a long time.
Even if victory is finally achieved, it may not be possible within a few years, or even more than ten years.
And the shop owner is right, dummies are not only available in the country.
There are also overseas ones.
If more infiltration comes from abroad in the future, it will really be endless.
There is another more important thing, which the other party didn't say, but Lin Mo could see it.
That is the special ability of this shop owner, the repairman.
You can transform the dummy into a state where you cannot detect it, which means erasing the aura of the dummy.
This is also a bargaining chip for the other party.
The other party didn't mention it.
But it doesn't mean that this bargaining chip does not exist.
Well, conversely, if you accept the negotiation with the other party and the negotiation is successful, it seems that there will be many benefits.
If the dummies stop infiltrating, you only need to demarcate some no-man's land for them to live in. Even in the future, these dummies can be used to defend against external infiltration.
Thinking about it, it seems good.
If Lin Mo didn't think about negotiating at all at first, now he is indeed considering the possibility of this matter.
And the more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.
The shop owner did not disturb Lin Mo's thinking, but waited quietly.
During this process, some footsteps were heard outside the store.
It is estimated that the expert team arranged by Expert Zhou is here.
There are action teams guarding the place in the real world, and the place is also besieged in the nightmare world. Expert Zhou and the others are really not slow in their actions.
Of course, they would not rush in without Lin Mo's order.
The store owner is obviously not afraid either.
He has a nightmare of self-destruction here. If the talks fall apart, the worst possible outcome is that we will both die.
But if there is a way, he will not choose this path.
There is no point in killing several members of the expert team. As long as Lin Mo is still alive, it will definitely be a loss-making deal for him to die together.
Lin Mo slapped his thigh at this moment.
The shop owner was frightened.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Mo stared at the other party and asked a question: "Why are you talking to me? I'm not a leader, let alone a high-level person. Even if I promise you, as long as the superiors don't agree, the negotiation still won't work. You don't
Maybe you don’t understand?”
The store owner said I understand.
"There are two reasons. One is that it is a bit difficult to go directly to your senior management, and it is easy to be judged as a threat; the other is that I think it is more direct to go to Mr. Lin, because Mr. Lin, you are their eyes.
In other words, what they see is up to you."
Lin Mo also heard the implication.
Regardless of whether the superiors agree or not, as long as you agree to this agreement, then things can be done.
Indeed, currently, the only one who can directly detect the aura of the dummy is Lin Mo.
Whether he works hard to get the consent from above or deceives him, it all depends on Lin Mo's own choice, and he can really do it.
And there is obviously another trap here.
If Lin Mo agrees to the agreement, but his superiors do not agree, and he chooses to deceive, he is tantamount to becoming a 'betrayer'.
When the time comes, this will become a handle.
But this is a conspiracy, it can be put on the table, and it has already been put on the table.
From this point of view, the store owners are indeed sincere.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, but I can't give you an answer to this matter now. I still need to discuss it with my superiors."
"I understand, I understand." The store owner obviously expected this result and was not surprised at all: "To express my sincerity, I will remove all the dummies from Swallowing Whale City within the next twenty-four hours."
The store owner added.
Lin Mo was a little surprised.
From what the other party said, there are quite a lot of dummies in Whale City.
"This is best. Also, besides stopping hunting the dummies, do you have any other conditions? Say it once and for all. It is a negotiation after all, so don't be embarrassed."
"The first choice is coexistence, and if that doesn't work, then we want a city."
"Understood."
Lin Mo stood up and shook the ghost doll in his hand.
"this……"
"Didn't Mr. Lin say that your son likes it? I gave it to your son."
"Okay, thank you. Oh, by the way, I want to take a look at the self-destruction nightmare." Lin Mo was really curious about the self-destruction nightmare, mainly because he had never seen it before.
Could it be a new species?
The shop owner shouted, and the self-destructing nightmare dragged his fat body out of the darkness.
This time when he got closer, Lin Mo finally saw it clearly.
Obviously, this is definitely not a naturally occurring nightmare, that is to say, it has been transformed.
The original form of the self-destructing nightmare is probably a dummy.
His body, especially his abdomen, was covered with sarcomas that looked like a fat belly.
Use some special parts and gauze to wrap and fix.
The sarcoma was squirming regularly and bulging like a full-term pregnant woman carrying sextuplets. From a close distance, Lin Mo could feel the incredible hatred in the huge sarcoma.
"Hate?"
Lin Mo asked.
The shop owner nodded: "Yes, it's hate. A lot of hate, if you use some techniques to stuff it in, it will turn into a terrifying bomb. After it explodes, it can tear everything around it."
"I've seen it just now, it's really impressive." Lin Mo praised, turned and left. Before leaving, he turned back and asked: "By the way, we have been chatting for so long, and I still don't know your name."
"You can call me shop owner, or you can call me repairman."
"I mean, real name."
"Kong Rui!"
Lin Mo nodded, opened the door and walked out.
There are people sent by Expert Zhou lying in ambush outside, but they are all more than ten meters away.
When they saw Lin Mo coming out, they all stuck their heads out.
"Withdraw!"
Lin Mo didn't intend to break his promise and fall out when he went out.
That Kong Rui wanted to make peace and negotiate, but Lin Mo really thought it was feasible.
The main reason is that he also knows very well that if he wants to truly solve the threat of the dummy, it is definitely not enough for him alone.
On the other hand, if we can reach an agreement with this dummy organization, it would be a solution.
Of course, whether it will work or not will have to be decided by the leaders and senior management of the General Administration.
In this matter, Lin Mo must have obeyed the arrangement.
Although it's okay to press Kong Rui, it's quite palatable, but if he really wants to do it, Lin Mo won't be polite.
After all, the other party had designed a trap before, and Lin Mo had not forgotten this.
After waking up, Lin Mo immediately called the director of the General Administration and reported the situation in detail.
After hearing this, the director of the General Administration was silent for a long time.
"Lin Mo, I can't make the decision on this matter. You continue to stay in Whale City and stare at those dummies. Didn't they say they would show sincerity and remove all the dummies from Whale City? You should observe first. I Take the time to report to your superiors."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo rested for a while and heard movement outside.
After a while, Expert Zhou opened the door with a horrified look on his face: "Team Leader Lin, something happened, please go out and take a look!"
