"Okay, I agree, but I need to know something about this black paper lantern, and..."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo still chose to agree. Helping the old man to save someone was not a big deal for Lin Mo. In comparison, what Lin Mo cared about more was actually the black paper lantern in the old man's hand.
This is what I came here for.
Although it's a pity that I can only borrow this black paper lantern, but since I have found out the old man's bottom line, there is no need to worry.
"Although it's still unclear why this old lady is so insistent, since the other party has asked me to help her, she will definitely not harm me now. And if I am right, there is no way to save the undead in this community.
of."
"In this case, it would not do her any good to harm me, unless she wanted to harm me from the beginning, but it seems that harming me would not do her any good."
Lin Mo thought for a moment, and although he did not detect any hostility from the old man, he did not believe the old man. The previous security guard made Lin Mo realize that the old man was not as simple as he seemed.
"Do you know who I am?"
Without continuing the topic, Lin Mo suddenly raised a question that had nothing to do with what they had discussed before.
Although he did not detect any hostility from the old man, Lin Mo also believed that even if the old man was eager to find someone for help, he would not find someone who followed her from outside the community for no reason.
People's hearts are separated from each other. Without experiencing something, you will never know who is smiling at you and what he will do to you in the next second.
A person follows you back home from the gate of the community. Not only do you not have any hostility towards this person, but you also take the initiative to ask for help. This is not normal. Unless you know or understand this person, enter here.
people.
The same is true for the old lady. If she didn't know anything about Lin Mo, would she just ask Lin Mo to come in and sit down, and then directly discuss the transaction with Lin Mo?
If Lin Mo had any other purpose, he could take action directly. Of course, the other party might have some trump card that Lin Mo didn't know about, but if this is the case, it can only be said that he is too naive.
No matter what kind of trump card you have, there is no way to guarantee complete victory, and if you don’t have the slightest understanding of your opponent, how can you be sure that your trump card can threaten the opponent?
Therefore, Lin Mo was almost certain that this old man must know something about him.
But the problem is that when Lin Mo came to this garden community, he only met this old man once when he went to Lu
Qian's house, and there was no communication between the two at that time. From what I learned from other people's mouths, the old man would hardly leave the community.
During the day, the old man would lock himself tightly in the room. If he went out, the security guard would definitely know that according to what the security guard said earlier, the old lady would not leave the garden community during the day.
In the evening, according to the old man's previous behavior of going out of the community to pay homage, the time for one visit did not exceed an hour. When discussing the deal with Lin Mo, the restrictions on the use of black paper lanterns also mentioned that they should not exceed
This condition for one hour.
That can only mean one thing, that is, this black paper lantern, no, it should be said that the old lady's black paper lantern has obvious usage restrictions, that is, it cannot exceed one hour.
Anyone holding a black paper lantern who leaves the room at this time will only have an hour at most before coming back.
One hour is simply not enough time for the old man to leave the community and rush to Fenglin Street. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for the old man to know him.
But judging from the other party's performance, the other party must know something about him, otherwise he would not propose such transaction conditions. What if Lin Mo doesn't know how to save people at all?
The old man was silent. She didn't want to. The young man in front of her was so alert that he raised such a sharp question just through their words.
Lin Mo didn't urge or speak. He had to know this issue, it was very important.
Not only this old lady, but also that Lucy, Lin Mo has never understood why the other party found him. No matter what the other party's plan is, he must first choose the target.
Since the other party targets him, they must first have a certain understanding of him. However, it only takes a few days for Lin Mo to transform into Qi Feng, the owner of the bookstore. If he is still the owner of the teahouse, the other party will know about him.
, that’s not a big deal.
Lin Mo used to be considered the number one person in Maple City. Many people knew him, and there were many old customers who would introduce business to him.
This is how his business came about, but now he has changed to a new identity, and this identity has only been used for a few days, but in just a few days, these people have come over one by one, which makes
Lin Mo began to wonder whether these people already knew his true identity.
"This has nothing to do with the secrets here. I don't believe you would randomly choose a stranger."
Lin Mo crossed his arms and tapped his fingers gently, acting very indifferently, but the power of the black shadow around him was ready to go. He didn't know what the old man's trump card was, such as
If it was really that trump card that gave the old man the confidence to face Lin Mo, then that thing would definitely pose a threat to him.
Silence, there was still silence in the room, the old man did not speak, it seemed that this matter was difficult to say, but Lin Mo couldn't give up. When he thought of this problem, Lin Mo knew that the old man in front of him might be
He is the best person to solve this doubt.
Whether it was Lucy, Little Lily, or the security guard, Lin Mo couldn't let the other party answer this question directly. Under the current situation, only the old man had an exchange of interests with him. The old man said he couldn't directly tell Lin Mo about the situation in the community.
The secret in the transaction, then this issue is the premise for Lin Mo to agree to this deal.
Lin Mo has been in a passive state since he opened the bookstore, waiting for these people to enter the bookstore. But now, after discovering that the power of the shadow may be out of control, he cannot continue to remain in this passive state. He must also
Start taking action.
The invisible confrontation still continued, and the old man still did not speak. It seemed that this question was a very difficult question for her to answer.
But Lin Mo was not in a hurry. Although he also wanted to know the situation in the community and wanted to immediately find out what the figures wandering in the community and those guys who suddenly appeared were, but after the old man said
After understanding the restrictions on the use of the black paper lantern, Lin Mo was no longer in a hurry.
It took the old man almost an hour from leaving here to returning to the room. If this black paper lantern can really only be used for one hour a day, then Lin Mo has no way to continue using this black paper lantern today.
Without a pass, there was no need for Lin Mo to follow the old man and enter here without authorization in such a place full of unknown risks.
What's more, knowing the answer to this question is very important to Lin Mo.
He was no longer so anxious, and Lin Mo did not urge the old lady to answer immediately. As time passed by, the old man opposite seemed to have finally made a decision.
"I don't know who you are, but someone told me you could help me."
There was a hint of helplessness in the hoarse voice, and the old man seemed to have given up.
"who?"
Lin Mo immediately asked, his expression becoming solemn. He wanted to know who this person was, why he said such things to the old man, and what did he know?
Or has someone discovered his true identity?
"I don't know her. She's a little girl. She's pretty."
The old man did not hesitate and answered Lin Mo again, but this answer made Lin Mo fall into deep doubts.
