The arrival of night was as usual, and the Garden Community once again welcomed an uninvited guest, and this was Lin Mo, who was very prepared...well...nothing could be prepared, and at the same time, he really had nothing prepared.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening. Lin Mo walked to the security room where the lights were still on, but he did not see Mr. Feng inside.
It is uncertain when this unreliable old guy will appear and when he will disappear. Meeting him is undoubtedly a matter of luck. This does not mean that Lin Mo's luck is bad today.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Lin Mo's luck is very good.
Walking straight to Building 4, Lin Mo planned to go find Little Lily and the old lady first. The reminder from the two of them last time allowed Lin Mo to run out of Building 3 and Building 2 relatively smoothly.
The reminders from the two people were still of great use to Lin Mo, so this time, Lin Mo still wanted to see if he could get more hints. At the same time, he also wanted to find out what happened in the hour and a half that disappeared inexplicably last time.
Time, what happened.
A moment later, Lin Mo arrived at the door of Xiao Lili's house, knocked on the door and waited for a long time, but there was no sound in the room.
"Little Lily? Open the door, I'm Qi Feng..."
Lin Mo called one after another and knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement inside. Lin Mo put his ear against the door. Little Lily usually watched some TV series when she was at home, but this time Lin Mo listened.
For a while, no sound was heard from the room.
"What's going on? Are you asleep?"
After muttering something, Lin Mo immediately used the power of shadow to open the door. The lights were still on, and it didn't look like there was anyone there. Lin Mo walked closer.
"Little Lily?"
Still no one responded, Lin Mo walked directly towards the living room, but he did not see little Lily on the sofa in the living room.
"You hid in that small room so early?"
The time at this time was only about 7:30 in the evening. According to normal rules, little Lily should not have entered the small room at this time.
Lin Mo slowly walked to the door of the small room and gently turned the door handle.
"Click"
Different from usual, the door of this small room was opened by Lin Mo. He was slightly surprised. Lin Mo opened the door and looked into the room suspiciously. The room was empty. He didn't look at it.
See the figure of little Lily.
"Huh? What's going on?"
He thought that Little Lily was in the room, but the room was completely empty, and there was no figure of Little Lily in the living room, which made Lin Mo a little confused. He then searched the room for a while, but still didn't see it.
See the figure of little Lily.
There was no sign of little Lily in the balcony, guest bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, or in the entire house. She was not there.
Not being at home made Lin Mo more and more confused.
According to what he knew about little Lily, there was no way for her to leave the garden community, and Lin Mo also understood the situation in this garden community. Under normal circumstances, this little Lily would not appear in other places, but would only appear at home.
.
Every time before, no matter when Lin Mo came here, he would find little Lily at home, but this time she was no longer at home, and Lin Mo realized something was wrong.
"Where are you going?"
With this doubt, Lin Mo quickly walked out of Xiaolili's home, walked through the not-so-long corridor, and went straight to the old lady's home.
Not finding Little Lily, Lin Mo had a bad guess. He directly opened the door of Mrs. A Jing's house. The door of the old lady's house was still unlocked. Lin Mo walked in, and the room was filled with darkness.
The old lady still didn't turn on the light.
The moment the door opened, Lin Mo's pupils shrank. On the shoe rack in the entrance, there was a black paper lantern. The last time Lin Mo left here, he placed the black paper lantern here.
He looked carefully at the black paper lantern.
Regardless of its position or orientation, the black paper lantern was still in the same position that Lin Mo placed it the day before yesterday. Lin Mo reached out and picked up the black paper lantern and took a look inside. There was no lamp oil in the black paper lantern.
Lin Mo's heart suddenly sank, and he realized that something bad might have happened.
Quickly walking into the room, Lin Mo walked around the living room. As before, he checked all the hidden small rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, and bedrooms. He did not find the old lady.
.
The old lady who had been at home did not stay at home either. Not only did little Lily disappear, but the old lady did not know where she had gone.
Nights in the Garden Community are definitely not safe. Little Lily and the old lady will definitely stay at home at night, but there was an exception today. The unchanging situation changed today, which made Lin Mo couldn't help but guess that the two of them
Does leaving home have anything to do with him going to explore Buildings 1, 2, and 3 the day before yesterday?
"Where did he go?" Lin Mo was confused.
"Looking at the situation, either he left in a hurry, or he left before I came back last time."
The old lady didn't add lamp oil to the black paper lantern. Either she didn't see the black paper lantern at all, or the other party left in a hurry and didn't even have time to help Lin Mo prepare the lamp oil for this operation.
When Lin Mo returned here, it should be after one in the morning and before two o'clock. It was still dark at this time. According to Lin Mo's understanding of this place, this garden community should still be the same garden community at night, with little Lily and the old lady.
It should still be there.
So if the other party takes action at that time, Lin Mo should be able to
Seeing the other party's figure, after all, there was no one in the garden community at that time.
But when Lin Mo came back from the direction of Building 1, he didn't see the two people. Either the other person was still in Building 4, or it was the second possibility.
They left in a hurry because of some things, so the old lady didn't have time to add lamp oil to the black paper lantern. But what kind of situation would cause the other party to not even have this time?
Lin Mo's eyes scanned every part of the room. Everything here was very normal. Things were arranged neatly and orderly. There was no mess. There was no sign of being turned over, and there was no sign of a fight.
.
They left in a hurry, but didn't take anything with them.
"wrong!"
Lin Mo realized something was wrong. He carried a black paper lantern and rushed out of the old lady's house quickly. Lin Mo didn't know much about this old lady, but every time he came, he would come here first.
The old lady borrowed the black paper lantern here, not knowing whether the other party had anything important.
He quickly rushed back to Little Lily's home, opened the door and rushed in. He searched the room for a while, looking for...snacks.
In his memory, every time he came to Little Lily's home, he could see the little girl sitting on the sofa eating snacks. Although it was just a simple thing, Lin Mo believed that if Little Lily had just moved to another place
, or if you move, there is a high probability that you will take this snack with you.
After a search, Lin Mo found no snacks anywhere in the house, and the refrigerator was empty, which made him feel slightly relieved.
"Did they just move away? Could it be that the last reminder had any impact on them?"
Not finding snacks made Lin Mo a little more hopeful that Little Lily would leave here on her own, but it was only a few points. Lin Mo couldn't guarantee what the actual situation would be.
"No, little Lily has no way to leave this garden community. The garden community during the day is different from that at night. So where do her snacks come from?"
The question that suddenly appeared in his mind made Lin Mo fall into silence again. Where and how the snacks he saw came from, there was no way to guarantee it.
Little Lily can't go out to buy, so...
"Could it be that the person who delivered lamp oil to the old lady brought it here?"
"If you say that, could it be... Mr. Feng?"
"Lao Feng also disappeared today. Does this matter have anything to do with Lao Feng?"
"Don't believe her. Could this be about...him?"
Lin Mo's brows became tighter and tighter, staring at the black paper lantern in his hand, feeling that things seemed to be heading in an unpredictable direction.
