Lin Mo walked along the steps and walked down one floor. The light from the street lights in the community shone through the small window at the corner of the stairs, mixed with a little moonlight, and shone on the steps, reflecting patches of shadows.
By this time, Lin Mo had no place left to explore. What he needed to think about now was where to explore tonight.
"brush"
Just when Lin Mo took another step and was about to fall, the light that was not bright disappeared in an instant, and the entire corridor instantly became pitch black, and the whole building seemed to be silent in a completely dark world.
middle.
"what happened?"
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat and he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the window, but it had become pitch black outside and there was no light at all.
"Could it be that..."
He realized something was wrong. Although this garden community was weird, there had never been any accidents regarding the lighting. Only at eleven o'clock every day, all the lights in the community would be extinguished at the same time. He had been here so many times.
It's never too early or too late.
But now all the street lights turned out at the same time. Looking out of the window, Lin Mo couldn't see any light.
"No, this is definitely wrong!"
Lin Mo was lying in front of the window, struggling to look outside, while taking out the black paper lantern in his hand.
"When I left Little Lily's house, it was at least eight o'clock in the evening. I stayed at the old lady's house for more than ten minutes and then came out. Even if I was thinking about something on the way, I shouldn't have been here more than half the time.
hours.”
"After that, it took me ten minutes to go upstairs, and I stayed in Chen Yiping's house for ten minutes. It should take about an hour to go downstairs now."
Lin Mo's brows furrowed tightly. In his opinion, the time now should be around nine o'clock in the evening. Even if it takes a little more time, it shouldn't be more than nine-thirty.
Putting his hand into his pocket, Lin Mo touched his cell phone. After coming to this garden community, Lin Mo had never used a cell phone. Because in such a weird place, it was hard to say whether the cell phone would be useful.
And when all the lights disappeared and the light was at most the faint light from the black paper lantern, the light of the mobile phone seemed particularly eye-catching, but at this time Lin Mo couldn't care less.
First, he lit the black paper lantern in his hand. Seeing the faint light appear, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath, glanced at the stairwell of Building 6, and pressed the button on his phone.
Some dazzling light suddenly appeared, and the phone screen lit up. Lin Mo took a breath of air when he saw the time displayed on it.
"11:03!"
"Why is it already ten?
One o'clock!"
Lin Mo was completely stunned when he saw the time on his phone. This was completely unreasonable. It was actually eleven o'clock!
This time explained why it suddenly became dark outside, because the time had reached eleven o'clock and the garden community began to change, but this was quite unreasonable to Lin Mo.
"Obviously less than an hour has passed, how come three hours have passed all of a sudden?"
Looking blankly at the time displayed on his phone, Lin Mo's mind was in confusion. How did three hours pass?
I just exchanged a few words with Little Lily, and the same with the old lady. I didn't find Chen Yiping when I arrived here, I just walked around the room, and more than three hours passed like this.
Lin Mo didn't believe it. After entering the garden community, Lin Mo had been very vigilant.
At the same time, he also knows the situation here. At eleven o'clock, the entire garden community will change, so he will naturally not make any mistakes on the issue of time.
But now, he only feels that more than an hour has passed, but in fact, more than three hours have passed. What on earth is going on!
There was an inexplicable chill in the surrounding darkness, wrapping Lin Mo in it. His movements were a little stiff, and he tried desperately to recall everything he had experienced after entering the garden community. He recalled everything.
.
But I never thought about what he was doing and what he did during that hour.
He just... lost more than an hour.
More than an hour may not be a big deal to many people. It may be just eating a meal and lying down to watch short videos. Even for Lin Mo himself, it may be just eating a meal or taking a nap.
The time has passed.
But those were normal times. For Lin Mo, who was in the garden community at this time, this hour was definitely very important.
How much can be done in one hour?
Not much, but still a lot. Lin Mo could investigate carefully in this building or any residential building here, or knock on the door of any house and have a chat with them.
Have a conversation, even with more than one person from the same household.
The only prerequisite is that the other party will open the door for Lin Mo, or Lin Mo will just barge in.
But now, more than an hour has passed out of thin air, and Lin Mo still can't remember what he was doing during this hour, when and where he spent this hour.
This was what shocked Lin Mo the most.
He had lost more than an hour inexplicably, and he still had no memory at all. When he sorted out his memories, he found that everything was very strange.
Reasonable.
Entering the community, he went to the security room to talk to Mr. Feng, and then left to find Little Lily in Building 4. After getting a reminder when he went out, he went to find the old lady and chatted for a few words at her home.
Also got some clues.
Then I saw the old lady entering the room, and through the gap in the door, I saw that the room was not a room, but a corner of a garden. Then I used the power of black shadow to explore to no avail, turned around and left and came to Building 6.
.
After an inspection, I found nothing. When I went downstairs and was thinking about what to do next, all the lights suddenly went out, until now.
All the memories can be connected together very clearly, without any problems. Lin Mo has not met anyone else, because no one in this community has appeared outside.
But such a coherent memory only happened in one and a half hours, and the other half hour disappeared inexplicably!
What happened during this hour?
Where did he lose this hour of time?
Little Lily’s home?
The old lady's home?
Is it Building 4 or Building 6?
Or on that road?
Lin Mo racked his brains, but couldn't remember where exactly more than an hour of time was spent. He also had another suspicion in his mind, that there might be some problems with the flow of time in this garden community.
But...is this possible?
There are many weird things in the world, but there are basically no problems with time. Rather than believing that there is a problem with the flow of time in this garden community, it is better to encounter something.
Strange things happened, and the memory of disappearing for more than an hour is reliable.
Lin Mo couldn't understand or figure out where exactly more than an hour of time was spent. Could it be that he had lost a memory?
But...from the beginning to the end, he never felt any danger approaching, so when was the memory lost?
Lin Mo's heart was beating hard, and Lin Mo was frowning, but his mood slowly returned to calm under this depressing atmosphere. The more confused and troubled one is, the more one should calm down, because panic is here.
In this case, no problem can be solved at all.
"Boom~"
A dull voice suddenly sounded, seemingly in the corridor above Lin Mo. The ground around him suddenly trembled, and Lin Mo's body also tilted.
"Boom"
There was another sound, and it seemed like something was coming downstairs. Lin Mo came back to his senses instantly, glanced at his phone, realized something, and hurriedly turned off his phone again, without any hesitation, and quickly rushed downstairs.
