Lin Mo didn't reply and still stood at the door. He wanted to see if the old man was calling him.
If it was him, how did the old man know that he had entered the room?
If it wasn't him, then who else was hiding in this room, and Lin Mo didn't even notice it.
Keeping his body alert, Lin Mo controlled the power of the shadow to further explore every corner of the room, but the result was that there was no one else in the room except him and the old lady.
And after the old man finished speaking, a long time passed, and there was still no movement in the room.
"Did you really find me?"
Lin Mo's face became very ugly. He had never thought of this situation before. In the darkness, the old man's footsteps sounded again, returning from that room to the living room.
"Come and sit. There is no doubt. There are only two of you and me in this room, so there is no danger."
In the darkness, the old man was sitting somewhere with the black paper lantern. Based on his inference of the surrounding environment, Lin Mo knew that the place where the old man was sitting should be the sofa.
The past or not is a question for Lin Mo, but this question did not make Lin Mo think about it for too long.
"Although I don't know how I was discovered by this old man, since she has already noticed my existence, hiding here again is a bit of a cover-up, and it doesn't seem necessary."
Not sensing any danger or hostility from the old man, Lin Mo just hesitated a little and walked to the old man's side according to the route the old man had walked before. At the same time, he removed the power of the shadow from his body, and the man was revealed again.
.
Now that he has been discovered, there is no need to continue to cover himself with the power of shadow.
"Old man, I wonder how you found me?"
Fumbling to sit opposite the old man, Lin Mo asked this question that puzzled him very much. His understanding of the power of the black shadow made Lin Mo know that even some people with advanced cultivation cannot detect this kind of shadow.
strength.
Just like before, in the hidden space of Fengyuan Private High School, Lin Mo also realized that there was a danger in the dormitory building because of Su Shijing's prompts, but there was no way to know what the danger was.
Coupled with several battles after gaining this power, Lin Mo realized how powerful this power was.
But now, he was discovered so easily by an ordinary old man. No, it should be said that he seemed to be an ordinary old man. If he could discover his existence, he could no longer be called an ordinary old man, and there were many things about him.
Want to know the secret.
"It's just a feeling. I feel like someone has been following me.
I know you don't mean any harm."
A hoarse voice sounded across from Lin Mo. The old man spoke very slowly, but every word was very clear.
"Do you feel it?"
Lin Mo repeated softly, not sure whether what the old man said was true, but if he really just felt such illusory things, it was not completely impossible, but Lin Mo also knew that he couldn't ask this from the old man.
The answer to the question is.
The old man didn't speak anymore, seeming to be waiting for Lin Mo to speak first, and Lin Mo was also thinking about the old man's purpose of handing him over. Judging from the old man's very calm performance, either it was really as what the other party said, she could
I felt that Lin Mo had no ill intentions.
Or, this old man has some trump cards that even Lin Mo can't detect.
That trump card could even threaten Lin Mo's life, but he didn't detect any dangerous aura from the old man's body, which made Lin Mo calm down a little.
Neither of them spoke, and silence returned to the room. An invisible confrontation quietly unfolded. Both of them were waiting for the other to speak first.
"Old man, do you know what I am here for?"
In terms of calmness, Lin Mo really couldn't compare to this old lady. The changes in this community were not sure when they would disappear. Lin Mo didn't have much time to waste, so he had no choice but to speak first.
"You have a lot of doubts. You followed me all the way from outside the community. You must have seen what happened here. You must really want to know everything about this place, and I am your best breakthrough point."
The old man spoke slowly, directly revealing Lin Mo's thoughts. Lin Mo did not expect that this old man could see so clearly.
He was a little surprised, but he didn't show any signs of losing his temper. Imagine that after seeing that situation, he still followed the old man until he came here, showing his curiosity about the things here. What the old man said was just simple.
You can deduce it by thinking about it.
"Yes, I want to know the secret of this community."
Lin Mo didn't hide it. There were only him and the old lady at this time, so there was basically no need to hide it.
"I know, but you can't get the answer you want from me. I know very little, and I can't tell you."
The old man was still calm when he spoke quietly, but these words made Lin Mo frown. He came here just to learn the secrets of the community, but now these words were equivalent to directly rejecting Lin Mo.
"Old man, since you can't tell me anything, why did you ask me to come here?"
There was a little doubt in his heart, but Lin Mo didn't feel any anger because of being directly rejected.
There was no need for Fang to help him. Helping was a favor and not helping was a duty. Since the other party was not going to tell him the secret here, Lin Mo was very curious as to why the old man let him enter the room again.
"I know what you are thinking. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't tell you what I know. If things come out of my mouth, it will not be a good thing for me or you, but I can
In exchange for something else."
Something was placed on the table by the old man. From the sound of the thing being placed on the table, Lin Mo knew that what was placed on the table by the old man was the black paper lantern that she had been holding in her hand.
"What's the matter with you?"
Not to mention anything else, just based on this black paper lantern, Lin Mo had already decided to listen to the old man's exchange conditions. After seeing the condition of the black paper lantern in the old man's hands several times before, Lin Mo certainly knew that with this black paper
A lantern is equivalent to having a pass in this garden community.
In that case, Lin Mo could explore the community on her own. If so, it would take a little time at most. As for whether the old man would tell Lin Mo the secrets she knew about the garden community, there was no need.
"Help me save my son. You can borrow this black paper lantern for one hour every day."
The old man spoke slowly and placed another object on the coffee table. Although he couldn't see anything, Lin Mo knew it was a jar.
"Can you lend me an hour a day?"
Lin Mo frowned, helping the old man to save her son was not a difficult task for Lin Mo, but the old man's exchange condition was not to give him a black paper lantern, but to borrow Lin Mo for an hour every day, which made Lin Mo
Mo was a little dissatisfied.
"Well, I can only lend it to you for one hour every day. You can take it away after eleven o'clock, and you must return it after an hour. The latest return time cannot be more than one o'clock."
The old man's words made Lin Mo slightly surprised. He always felt that this time might have something to do with the changes in the community. However, Lin Mo did not ask immediately. Instead, he sat there thinking and remained silent. He wanted to see the old man.
bottom line.
"Young man, there is only so much I can give. I cannot lend you this black paper lantern for too long, otherwise it will be of no use. If you want anything else, there are some in this room. You can
Take it yourself."
After the old man said this, Lin Mo finally understood that it was impossible to get this black paper lantern. After thinking for a while, he had already made a decision in his heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he thought
The old man's previous words swallowed the question again.
"Okay, I agree to this deal, then this black paper lantern..."
