Lin Mo didn't even eat lunch and locked himself in the room all day.
He moved the broken TV sets that were piled randomly in the house one by one. His hard work paid off. The room that was previously a mess like a garbage dump and could only accommodate one or two people was now relatively tidy.
Those TV sets were piled neatly by Lin Mo in an area of the house, layer by layer, just like a fortress. Lin Mo even calculated that there were a total of 389 damaged TV sets.
This was much less than he expected.
He initially thought there would be thousands of TVs, but maybe it was because they were piled up haphazardly before, so it looked like there were many more TVs than there actually were.
Another reason is that some TVs have been destroyed into pieces, which can also give people the illusion that they belong to different TV sets.
In fact, if you patiently piece it together, you will know that the real number is not that much.
Lin Mo tidied the house, not just for free, but for two purposes.
One is to count the number of TV sets that represent the 'number of deaths', so that the number of deaths in this family can be inferred; the other is that Lin Mo wants to see if there are other hidden things in this room, and there may be some clues.
It will be hidden among the cluttered TV sets.
Let’s first talk about whether there are any other clues hidden in this room.
Lin Mo was disappointed at this point.
He found no valuable clues. There was no bed in this room, not even a cabinet. Apart from a sofa for sitting or lying down, it was only about a dozen inches in size and could still work normally.
of television.
The others are broken TV sets.
Nothing else.
This highlights the unusualness of this room even more.
And Lin Mo still made a discovery.
There are very important clues hidden in those broken TV sets.
These TV sets are all of the same model and have different degrees of damage, but if you look carefully, you can find some data parameters behind the TV casing.
Everything else is almost the same, only the numbers are different.
It would be difficult for ordinary people to find any special information hidden in these numbers. Lin Mo also stared at them for a long time and studied for a long time before discovering the mystery.
The number is seventeen digits and consists of letters and numbers.
The letters are exactly the same and the numbers are different. This seems normal, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is wrong, because after all, these TVs are not products produced in a factory, but items born in this special nightmare world.
Could it be that the TV sets born in this nightmare world will also follow certain rules and automatically generate product numbers?
Lin Mo specially analyzed the seventeen-digit numbers one by one.
Apart from the first three identical letters, the last four digits are sequentially increasing, and the eight digits in the middle should represent the time.
Some of these times are the same and some are different. Lin Mo has specially classified them into hundreds of different time periods.
So what does this time period represent?
Lin Mo made a bold guess and carefully verified it.
In the end, Lin Mo believed that this was the time of 'death'.
If you think about it carefully, this is very reasonable, because here, after a person dies, a TV will appear in this room.
So it can also be regarded as the birth time of television.
Lin Mo immediately classified these times again, and the final result was that if the times were the same, there were at most four; then it can be easily understood that this was in every family vote, and the real time was not found.
'Ghost' is produced after the death of all four members of the family.
When he discovered this, Lin Mo was very confused.
Because just now, he was still thinking, if one of the four family members was a 'ghost', would the 'ghost' also follow the rules of the game and die once?
At first, Lin Mo understood that the 'ghost' would not really die, but now it seems that after the vote fails, all four family members will die.
Because many four TV sets with the same time number were produced in the same time period.
These are irrefutable evidence that four family members died at the same time.
Lin Mo thought in his mind that the 'ghost' either didn't exist at all, or was a ruthless ghost. In order not to reveal any mistakes, he was even willing to die with others.
But if we analyze it from the perspective of death events, Lin Mo sees something else.
On TV, there are many separate worlds.
Lin Mo estimated that this was probably caused by a certain family member breaking a taboo and dying alone, because he was the only one who died during that time period.
Just like Lin Mo tried to take off his sister's paper bag before.
This violated a taboo, so Lin Mo turned into a TV set.
Lin Mo understands this.
But Lin Mo also found some broken TV sets of three sets.
Explain that during this time, three family members died.
This is very strange.
Four times make up one period, which means that the vote failed and the whole army was annihilated; if there is only one period, it means that a taboo was violated and one died alone.
There are only three, what do they count?
Three family members breaking a taboo at the same time?
After thinking about it, this possibility was very small. Lin Mo thought of a possibility at this time.
He immediately rearranged the TV sets according to time.
"If only three family members die during a certain voting, and one of them survives, this effect will occur; the one who survives should be the 'ghost', but why can't this ghost be spared every time?
?Why should it die if it can avoid death?"
"Die several times, live once, die several times, live once. If this ghost is not sick, then there is only one explanation..."
Lin Mo sorted the four deaths at the same time and the three deaths according to time, and found that every six total annihilations, a survivor would be generated.
The only explanation is that the 'ghost' will appear only that time, so the ghost can escape the subsequent death penalty.
Among the remaining families' votes, there was no "ghost" at all, so the whole family of four was wiped out.
"Could it be that there is a fifth person in this room?"
Lin Mo thought for a while and shook his head.
impossible.
Only those wearing paper bags are family members, and only family members can vote. Non-family members, if discovered, will be killed by 'Dad'.
Of course, if 'Mom' finds out, she will probably take action.
It was impossible to hide other people in this room. I had searched for them before, and indeed there was none.
"Unless the 'ghost' is hidden in the body of a certain family member, and this 'ghost' does not appear every time, only when it appears can the family member be saved from death."
Lin Mo finally came to such a conclusion.
It’s multiple personalities!
Lin Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this moment.
If it is a multiple personality, it can perfectly answer all the current problems. Because the "ghost" personality does not appear every time, the four family members are actually innocent people and will enter the death cycle.
Only when the 'ghost' personality appears can one avoid entering the death cycle.
Lin Mo took a deep breath.
This is too difficult. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult to find the 'ghost' hidden among the four family members, not to mention that every death will erase the memory of the voting session.
Lin Mo did remember a clue.
When he was going through his father's clothes, he found a medical record sheet that said, 'Jessie Robinson, Reef Asylum, Patient No. 13, violent, cruel personality, multiple personalities...'
My father has multiple personality disorder.
Is it really him?
Lin Mo planned to find out.
At this time, my mother had already started to finish cooking. According to the previous time, after dinner, the voting event would take place two hours later.
After voting, reincarnation begins again.
So Lin Mo doesn't have much time.
He has too many things to do. If he is really sure that it is his father, he needs to calculate when the 'ghost' personality in the other person will appear.
If it happens, we must unite with my mother and sister during the voting to catch the 'ghost' personality of my father.
Just at this time, my mother started calling for dinner.
Lin Mo immediately opened the door and walked out.
It was still the same dining table, with dim lights and a table of disgusting 'delicious food'.
But this time, Lin Mo's attention was not on the disgusting food on the table, but on his father. Lin Mo needed to find out whether the 'ghost' personality in the other party had appeared.
Lin Mo soon thought of a way.
When he forked a rotten sausage with a fork, his hand slipped on purpose, and whoosh, the stinking sausage flew up, and landed on his father's chest with a bang, and his clothes were immediately stained with oil.
"Dad, I'm sorry, my hand really slipped!"
Lin Mo immediately walked over to help the other party wipe it.
Obviously, my mother and sister were stunned by this turn of events, and my father was on the verge of breaking out. He was so angry that he once again squeezed the knife and fork in his hand until it was deformed.
Lin Mo seemed to not be able to see it and wiped it with a tissue next to him.
What about anger?
You can't attack family members. This is a taboo. If the other person has a "ghost" personality now, he will not be impulsive.
So Lin Mo had nothing to be afraid of.
What's more, he doesn't know what fear is at all.
From a close distance, Lin Mo took a closer look at the paper bag on his father's head.
Sure enough, there was something written in small letters on it.
It has a name, personality traits and talents.
But at first glance, Lin Mo was dumbfounded.
"Jon..."
This is the name on the paper bag.
Not 'Jessie Robinson'.
how so?
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Mo's mind. At this time, his father waved his hand and drove Lin Mo away: "I can just wipe it myself."
Lin Mo, who sat back on the chair, was a little confused.
Only then did he realize that his father's name was Jon, not Jesse Robinson.
So, who is this Jesse Robinson?
Could it be my mother or sister?
No, my sister’s name is Carol.
Lin Mo had seen him before.
What about mom?
Lin Mo took the opportunity to look at the paper bag on her mother's head.
Mom's name is Cathy!
And Lin Mo’s paper bag said ‘Lomi’.
In other words, in their family of four, no one is named "Jessie Robinson".
This confused Lin Mo.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo suddenly realized something and slapped his hand on the table.
Dad, mom and sister were all shocked.
At this moment, everyone raised their heads and looked at Lin Mo. The expressions painted on the paper bag also showed confusion and confusion.
"Fuck, I understand." Lin Mo ignored the other three people.
He realized something very important.
Lin Mo found that he had fallen into a trap.
He fell into a unique consciousness trap.
What he is concerned about, under the unknowing guidance of several family members, falls into a strange circle, that is, looking for the "ghost" hidden among his family members.
But is it really that important?
If you find the ghost, you will be free. These are the clues provided by several family members.
Lin Mo had no doubts before.
But in fact, if you doubt it, you will think of another thing. What if all this is false?
What if that ‘ghost’ doesn’t exist at all.
Then the result is to be trapped here and go through endless reincarnations.
It's like playing mahjong. You think you can win, but you don't realize that the three people on the other side are basically a team. If they cooperate with each other, even the God of Gamblers can't win.
The moment Lin Mo realized this, he immediately jumped up and took off the paper bag on his head.
This thing is not an amulet, but a kind of shackles that binds people here.
If you attack an opponent while wearing this thing, you will be immediately counterattacked.
So you can't wear it.
The biggest lie here is the 'paper bag', because from the beginning, the other party used the sense of oppression and the wonderful performance of the previous Romy to make people mistakenly think that wearing a paper bag is safe.
The moment he put on the paper bag, it was equivalent to jumping into the trap set by the other party. After that, his father tortured Romi who lost the paper bag, let him go without wearing the paper bag, and even said that "paper bags are safe props"
This self-righteous speculation is confirmed.
Lin Mo had some doubts before.
After all, if the other party really has the ability to cause infinite death and infinite resurrection, then this kind of power can be compared to that of a god.
Is this possible?
Lin Mo thought it was impossible.
So Lin Mo had suspected before that this was an illusion similar to that of a ghost.
This thought reached its peak when he discovered that among the four family members, there was no one named "Jessie Robinson" at all.
No matter what, he had to try.
If you continue to follow the so-called rules here, you will only get deeper and deeper.
One more thing.
Except for Dad, no one in this house seems to have ever left through the door.
What exactly is outside the gate?
Lin Mo jumped up at this moment and rushed towards the door.
The mother didn't move, as if she didn't want to interfere; the father was the strongest, but his reaction was half a beat too slow, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to; the sister was the fastest, but she rushed in front of Lin Mo in just one breath, blocking the way.
"The ghost is out there. If you want to be free, don't stop me." Lin Mo yelled.
He knew that his sister had an absolute advantage in terms of speed, and if the opponent tried to stop him, it would definitely be a problem, so he said this.
Lin Mo could only assume that his sister, mother, and father were actually the ones who fell into this weird trap, because they were not 'Jessie Robinson'.
Perhaps, this person is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, Lin Mo was also prepared. The mace in his hand was not a vegetarian. If his sister tried to stop her, he would be ruthless.
As a result, my sister turned to one side, allowing Lin Mo to run over.
The next moment, Lin Mo had opened the door and ran out of the room.
In the living room, my sister sat back again without saying a word.
Next to me, my mother also released her grip on my father's hand. My father didn't chase me just now because my mother was holding him.
