Carrying two boxes of instant coffee from a convenience store not far away, Lin Mo returned to the bookstore, put the instant coffee under the counter, and turned to look at the teahouse in the distance through the glass door.
Looking at the closed door and the position where the sun was shining, Lin Mo began to miss the deck chair placed in the lobby of the tea house.
"It would be great if I could get some sunshine at this time."
He opened the breakfast he bought and took a bite. According to the original situation, there was no need to go all this way this morning. Lin Mo's previous idea was to stay here pretending to be normal and quietly observe what happened at the teahouse.
matter.
Wait until someone sneaks into the teahouse, and then secretly explore the other person's identity.
But while drinking that cup of hand-ground coffee that wasn't very tasty, Lin Mo thought, if he couldn't act like a normal person, how could he act normal?
Most people who want to secretly observe other people's thoughts will subconsciously choose a more covert method. This is due to psychological needs and is also a default common sense.
But in fact, there is an essential difference between a drop of water and a drop of oil. There are so many people here, and more than one person must be paying attention to the trends in the tea house. They may even know each other, and compared to them
In other words, those surveillance methods are very common things.
As long as a small trick is exposed, these people will be discovered. These people may not be strong, but in this aspect, Lin Mo is still unable to compare with them.
The bookstore here has been renovated and the owner has been replaced. Such things will definitely be discovered as long as someone observes.
If Lin Mo was hiding out from the city for some reason in this bookstore and huddled in this bookstore all day long, even if he had changed his appearance, he would be suspected by those people.
Of course, appearing around the teahouse at this time is playing with fire and will inevitably attract the attention of those people.
Anyone who can come here is not a fool, and anyone who can come to Maplewood Street at such a sensitive moment is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
It can be said that the emergence of this new bookstore will inevitably attract the attention of those people. At this time, the test is another matter.
The wind in Maple Street has changed its smell. There are too many secrets hidden here. Those people hiding in the dark are like cats that smell fishy smell. Even if they don’t know what the situation is, they will come here to investigate.
Fan.
They can even identify each other.
What needs to be tested at this time is not who is stronger, but whose methods are more sophisticated.
Those who can be seen are all at relatively low levels. Such people do not have much strength. They are just sent here.
Looking at it from here, you can also say that it is cannon fodder.
For example, people with better skills will sneak in quietly without attracting anyone's attention. They may be those who open shops, or they may be the owners of a nearby food stall, or they may be a certain family.
The service staff of the old store.
Their actions are no different from ordinary people, they will do whatever they need to do, and they will not even pay too much attention to the teahouse, but once something happens there, these people will definitely be the first to know.
Compared with these people, those who blend in with tourists and pedestrians, or quietly pretend to be passers-by, find a place to drink tea and chat, and have nothing to do all day long, seem very at first glance.
They may be gathering in groups of twos and threes, or some seemingly ordinary small gathering may be arranged, but in fact, with a little observation, you can see that these people's eyes and attention are always directed towards the teahouse.
The renovated bookstore had a new owner. This happened when Zhang Ningxi left Maple City and everyone was looking for Lin Mo.
Anyone with a brain can guess that this person's purpose is probably to come to the teahouse to wait and see if he can get a share of the Fengyuan Private High School matter. His peers are all enemies, and they are all thinking about the same thing.
People who are involved in the matter may have the possibility of cooperation, but in the end they will definitely become enemies.
Of course, a smarter person would probably have thought that Lin Mo would not be able to return to the teahouse openly when everyone was looking for him, but he knew that what should be done should still be done.
, this waiting is just a precaution.
Lin Mo did not intend to be a profound lurker. Opening a store at this time would be exposed, but what was exposed was not his identity, but that it would make other people think that Lin Mo was also here to get a piece of the pie.
This is Lin Mo's purpose and the result Lin Mo wants.
He didn't want to hide himself completely, but he couldn't reveal his true identity. This kind of wandering on the margins, those people knew that he was not an ordinary person, but they couldn't connect him with the owner of the tea house.
This is Lin Mo's purpose. Everyone is waiting here, everyone wants a piece of the pie. After a while, some people can't sit still anymore and start to take some actions against the tea house.
At that time, Lin Mo was able to blend in naturally, and even used this opportunity to learn the secret behind Fengyuan Private High School.
Xu Wan left with a group of monsters, the strange red mist, and the source of the shadow power. These were all things Lin Mo wanted to know.
If Lin Mo is allowed to investigate quietly by himself, then this time will be extended to an unimaginable point. Xu Guodong went back to check the situation not long after leaving Linjiacun, but he
Not only did they not find Linjia Village, they also found that no one in the surrounding area knew about the existence of Linjia Village.
The scene that looks like a dream in Huang Liang actually represents a very huge conspiracy. People who can do such things were rare in that era. There must be a huge organization behind the other party.
This organization was able to take on such a large project and handle everything in a very short period of time, even though so much time had passed.
Even if Lin Mo has the ability, even if Lin Mo wants to check, or even can find the exact location of Linjia Village, he may not be able to find out what happened that year. Xu Guodong can't do it. After so many years, even if Lin Mo can find out what happened.
Mo's methods are much better than Xu Guodong's, but he can't do it either.
Time can completely destroy many things that originally left traces, but if there is a chance to find the location of Linjia Village, Lin Mo will definitely check the situation there.
Not only because of the weird reason of this shadow power, but also because the village is called Linjiacun.
But when Xu Guodong mentioned the name of Linjiacun in front of Lin Mo, Lin Mo felt a little weird, because his surname was Lin. According to the old man, Lin Mo was his real name, not the name the old man gave him later.
When he picked up Lin Mo, he had a small piece of paper with the word Lin Mo written on it, so the old man naturally took this as Lin Mo's name.
Of course, Lin Mo had never seen that note, so he didn't take the old man's explanation seriously at all. What's more, that unreliable old guy just gave him Lin Mo's name.
Twenty stories were told and laid out.
When I was writing poems in the woods, I happened to hear the cry of a child, and then I picked the child up. I couldn't find the child's parents, so I adopted him and gave him a name, Lin Mo.
Sometimes I would switch to another explanation, like how I saw a small black ball in a ravine, and when I walked in, I saw, oh, it turned out to be a child. What about Lin Mobi's briquettes when he was a child?
They were all black, so I gave him the name Lin Mo.
...
It is really difficult to get a word of truth from that unreliable old guy.
Later, Lin Mo grew up and didn't care about the name at all. The old man could say whatever he wanted.
But when Xu Guodong mentioned Linjia Village, perhaps because of the same surname, Lin Mo had an inexplicable curiosity about Linjia Village, and had a vague idea in his heart that he wanted to go and see it.
