Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh repairer, eyes and blind
The old streets of Whale Swallowing City in the nightmare world have a weird artistic feel.
This sense of art comes from the style of old buildings from the previous world, the kind of picture that combines Chinese and Western styles and is very characteristic of the times. It is reflected in every brick and tile, the sculptures on the walls, and the ancient lampshades on the old street lamps.
It's as if time has truly returned to a hundred years ago.
But the decoration of some hand-made models in the store glass and the zebra crossing on the road brought the timeline back.
Coupled with the gloomy filter unique to the nightmare world, the roadside shop in front of you looks even more weird and gloomy, even weird in one case, and the eyes of the model figures inside seem to be staring at you.
.
Paper cranes circled around the store, seemingly trying to find a way in.
But the door is closed here, tightly, not even a crack is left for the paper crane.
Zhihe was very anxious.
Several times, my head hit the glass, making a snapping sound.
Unfortunately, I still can't get in.
"Come back."
Lin Mo waved at this moment, and the paper crane seemed to have received new instructions, turned around, and flew back to Lin Mo's palm.
Stuffing the paper crane into his pocket, Lin Mo and Expert Zhou walked to the door of the store.
"Team Leader Lin, you had to stop the car and come down to check. Did you already realize that something was wrong with this store? Do you have any other plans that you haven't told me?"
Expert Zhou had been kept in the dark once, and now he was a bit disappointed. And because Lin Mo had behaved too arrogantly before, he believed that all this was now part of Lin Mo's plan.
Lin Mo neither admitted nor denied it.
He did think there was something wrong with the store at the time.
But since I didn't find anything, I didn't pay much attention.
Looking now, the situation is not what I thought.
The escaped dummy is inside.
Because the distance was close enough, Lin Mo could still feel the aura of the dummy even without the paper crane.
But something interesting happened.
The next moment, the dummy's breath disappeared.
It felt like being on the phone all the time and suddenly the other party hung up.
Very abrupt.
Lin Mo knew that it was because the paper crane hit the glass just now that the people inside were on guard.
The next moment, Lin Mo took out a breakaway bean and stuffed it into Expert Zhou's mouth.
"Assemble an action team to surround this store and not allow anyone to leave from here."
Expert Zhou returned to the real world before he could react.
After waking up, Expert Zhou thought of Lin Mo's explanation just now, and immediately turned on the intercom and called the personnel.
Obviously, the so-called encirclement refers to the real world.
In this way, if there is someone in that shop, the blockade in the current world can block their escape.
As for the nightmare world, Lin Mo is there.
When Lin Mo was left alone, he walked to the door and tried to push it open.
There was a creak.
The door opened.
The door was actually unlocked.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and walked in.
The other party could have set up a trap in that old building, but he would never have thought that he would find it so quickly. Moreover, even if there were traps or even a second bomb nightmare, Lin Mo was not afraid.
He has enough cards to deal with it.
“Welcome.”
There was a weird electronic sound coming from the door.
It was the same as when Lin Mo entered this store in the real world.
The same sound, but heard in different worlds, feels completely different.
In addition to this welcoming sound, the model figures inside are completely different from the real world at this moment.
It was also full of items, but all the models and figures were of a weird and terrifying type. Lin Mo could feel that there was something weird mixed in among these things, and he was hiding inside, staring at him with malicious intent.
Far in the front, over the counter, a candle burned.
The flames flickered and flickered, making the shadows of the model figures in the room sway left and right. The light did not bring any sense of security, but made it even more scary.
If you are a timid person here, you must hope that the candle is extinguished.
At least out of sight and out of mind.
Behind the counter, a figure is working with his head down.
Lin defaulted to the other party.
He's the owner of this store.
They look and even move the same as when they saw each other in the real world. The only difference is that the one being repaired by the shop owner at this moment is the dummy that escaped before.
The dummy's body has been taken apart.
As if it had been dismembered, the body parts were neatly placed on the table. The most eye-catching thing here was the dummy's head.
At this moment, the man's head was staring, as if he wanted to say something.
But its jaw has also been removed.
So, I couldn't speak at all.
It should even be dead.
Because Lin Mo could no longer feel the aura of this dummy.
"You can read whatever you like, it's not expensive."
At this time, the shop owner lowered his head and said something.
It was the same as what the other party said when Lin Mo came in in the real world.
Lin Mo smiled, then reached out and grabbed a scary ghost doll figure from the side, and placed it on the table: "This is very good, my son should like it."
The shop owner was a little surprised by Lin Mo's calmness. He looked up and then continued to disassemble the dummy's limbs.
"This is for you, no charge!"
"That's so embarrassing!"
"You're welcome, you are the most special guest. Since you are here, let's chat." At this time, the shop owner took out the heart from the dummy's chest and placed it on the table.
This heart is still beating.
Lin Mo suddenly realized that the dummy was not dead, but had just been taken apart.
How did the other party do it?
Who is the other party?
Lin Mo thought about it for a while.
I asked tentatively.
"Repairer?"
This was completely a flash of inspiration, because Fu Chong and the surveillance equipment had previously captured this name. In addition to the repairer, there were also 'eyes' and 'blind men'.
The reason why Lin Mo was able to associate the repairman with the shop owner was also very simple.
If the other party can disassemble the dummy, then it can definitely be assembled.
If you know how to disassemble and assemble, then it will be a matter of course if you know how to repair.
There's nothing wrong with the logic.
The other party was obviously more surprised.
"You also know this?"
It's a disguised admission.
Lin Mo smiled: "I know a lot of things. For example, there must be a lot of dummies in this shop. I can't feel it. That's because you dismantled them into parts and assembled them with other things.
"
This is what Lin Mo just saw.
The other party is definitely a craftsman, and he feels very similar to Yu Po and Yue Jie. As for which one of them has higher ability and which one has lower ability, it’s hard to say.
But it feels like this ‘repairer’ should be quite difficult to deal with.
The store owner neither admitted nor denied what Lin Mo said.
He just wiped his hands and motioned for Lin Mo to sit down.
"Lin Mo, Expert Lin, I know you, your name is very loud here."
"We? Dummies?" Lin Mo asked.
The shop owner smiled: "Let's talk."
This time Lin Mo didn't refuse, he sat on the chair next to him.
Lin Mo was sure before that the shop owner, the so-called 'repairer', was not a dummy. But now, after seeing the other party's method of dismantling the dummy to eliminate the aura, Lin Mo dare not say 100% of his judgment.
is correct.
As if aware of Lin Mo's doubts, the shop owner said: "I am indeed a dummy, but I am different from other dummies."
"What's the difference?"
The store owner didn't answer immediately.
Instead he asked a question.
"The Fixer, the Eyes and the Blind Man. Now that you know that I am the Fixer, aren't you curious, who is the Eye and who is the Blind Man?"
Lin Mo was indeed quite curious.
"You know?"
"Yes, I know."
"Who are the eyes?"
"you!"
"I?"
"Yes, that's you."
Lin Mo was happy when he heard what the shop owner said.
But he seemed to be able to tell that the other party was not joking.
"Keep talking, I'm listening."
Lin Mo gestured.
The shop owner is like a real wise man, a person with deep knowledge and understanding of conspiracy, or to put it more simply, he is a smart person.
"Let me ask you a question first." The store owner started to think outside the box. Lin Mo asked himself if he would be confused by the other party, so he didn't say much.
"You asked!"
"Mr. Lin, how many dummies do you think there are now?"
Is the first question so complicated?
How many dummies are there and how do I know?
"I don't know!" Lin Mo was very honest. If he didn't know, he just didn't know. He wouldn't pretend to know if he didn't know.
"I don't know the exact number, but I can give you a rough idea. Let's put it this way, it's much more than you think." The store owner then added: "At least tens of thousands."
That's indeed a lot.
Wait a moment.
Lin Mo suddenly realized a problem.
How did the other party know?
Are the dummies in various places related to each other?
If you don’t understand, just ask. Since you want to chat, you should be honest and open. If you have any questions, ask them.
"Yes, we are indeed connected to each other. The number of people I just mentioned are just those I know. There are others I don't know. There may be more."
"Isn't it great that there are so many people?" Lin Mo sneered.
For enemies that threaten the survival of mankind, let alone tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, there will be no hesitation when it is time to kill them.
This is nature.
Because the characteristic of a dummy is to imitate and replace a living person.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
The shop owner ignored Lin Mo's provocation, but turned his head and said behind him: "Come out."
The next moment, one of the doll parts came out from the pile behind the shop owner.
This is obviously a fake.
But the strange thing is that Lin Mo couldn't detect the other party's aura.
This is not the first time this has happened.
Moreover, this dummy has not yet imitated the initial state of a living person, so it is easy to tell that it is a dummy.
"We don't actually have to imitate living people. This instinct can be eliminated." The shop owner said this at this time.
Lin Mo said nothing, he was digesting the news.
The shop owner continued: "Going back to the issue we just discussed, I am the repairman and you are the eyes. Eyes represent vision, exploration, and the ability to discover the dummy."
With that said, Lin Mo understood.
The dummy calls itself the 'eye', which makes sense.
Because you can see through their disguise.
"We originally planned to get rid of you." The store owner readily admitted the matter.
He was talking about the previous explosion trap in the old building.
According to this reasoning, the eyes are oneself, and so is the blind man, because as long as the eyes are removed, one will become blind.
"It's a pity that you failed." Lin Mo said with a smile.
The shop owner shook his head: "Failed? Haha, that's not necessarily the case."
After saying that, an extremely fat nightmare walked out of the room inside.
Lin Mo had seen this kind of thing in Lu Xian's mirror.
The old building exploded before because of this monster.
It turns out there is one here too.
If the opponent self-destructs at this distance, it will be great fun.
"Aren't you afraid?" The shop owner was keenly aware of Lin Mo's thoughts. He seemed to be very good at observing, which Lin Mo was ashamed of.
The other party is indeed smart, even cunning.
But it's no use.
In terms of strength, he still has an absolute advantage.
I am an immortal.
Of course not afraid.
This fearlessness will be reflected in your demeanor and behavior, and will be keenly captured by the other party.
"What's so scary?" Lin Mo smiled. This time, the store owner's face changed. The latter thought: "I understand, Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. Our first choice is to get rid of you, but There is also an alternative plan, I will tell you about it, you can listen to it and give me your opinions."
