The old man left. As expected by Lin Mo, after hearing the old man repeating those words again, Lin Mo did not continue to ask anything. He knew that if it was really what the old man said, she would tell Lin Mo
The secret of this neighborhood is that it is true that both of them will be in big trouble.
So repeating this sentence again is obviously the best that the old man can do.
Sitting on the sofa, holding the jar in his hand, he listened to the old man's slow and tired footsteps slowly disappearing. It wasn't until the door was closed with a "bang" and the surroundings fell into complete silence that Lin Mo relaxed slightly.
One breath.
Although this old man looked ordinary, he did not show any hostility towards Lin Mo during the whole process, and Lin Mo did not feel any danger from the other person.
But the trump card that the other party might have made Lin Mo fearful.
It is impossible to directly trade with a stranger if the old man does not have any trump cards. Of course, the other party may be just pretending, so Lin Mo can only admit it, but he will not relax just because of this.
alert.
I kept listening to the sounds in the old man's room. After a period of rustling sounds, it finally fell into silence.
Lin Mo stood up from the sofa and put away the small jar. Black shadows spread in every corner of the room, making the darkness in the living room deeper than the thick darkness around it.
"There is no danger in this living room. Maybe the old man's secrets are hidden in her room."
With this thought in his mind, Lin Mo did not go to the old man's room to explore the secrets. Everyone has many secrets. Lin Mo has no interest in secrets that have nothing to do with him. Moreover, the two of them have just reached a deal.
It is necessary to offend the other party at this time.
"This old man has been staying in this room. This house should give me some other clues."
In the darkness, although the eyes could not see anything, it was nothing to Lin Mo. The black shadow had spread to every corner of the living room. Although it could not be said to be meticulous, it was still possible to touch the room.
It's probably still possible.
At the very least, Lin Mo's actions will not be affected if there is no light.
Leaving the sofa and walking to the side, Lin Mo did not approach the old man's room, but walked in another direction. There was only one place in that direction - the balcony in the room.
"I stay in my room all the time during the day and never go out. There are only two ways to understand the situation outside. One is the door of the room, and the other is the balcony."
Lin Mo thought in his mind and continued walking towards the balcony.
"I came in through the door. After checking, there was no sign at the door.
There is something strange, and if you just push the door open a small gap, you can at most see the situation at Lucy's house."
"Since the old man can know my situation, he must not know anything about the situation outside. In addition, last time, she stood on the balcony and signaled to me, which means that she has been standing on the balcony to observe the situation outside. Maybe I can
What do you find here?"
"And, since I can't leave this room now, I also need to know something about the situation outside."
I slowly walked to the window. The curtains on the balcony window were not closed. The window was closed. Normally, if I stood here, I could see what was going on outside.
Standing in front of the window, the black shadow spread over Lin Mo's body again. Although the surroundings were dark and there was no light shining in from the outside. Even if Lin Mo didn't do this, he would still not be seen by anyone, but outside
They are all things that look like people but are not necessarily human, so you still have to be vigilant.
"I don't know if those things can climb the wall, if they can climb up along the wall, and if the windows are open, I don't know if those things can enter the building."
Lin Mo muttered, already standing in front of the window, looking outside.
What you see is pitch black, without any light outside, just like in this room.
If it were another person, he might not be able to see anything outside at all, but Lin Mo is different from ordinary people. He has the power of shadows and can swim in the darkness like a fish in water, although he can hardly see anything.
But he can sense the situation outside through the control of the shadow power.
In the darkness, downstairs in the community, in the small park, on the road and at the entrance of each residential building, there were countless figures standing densely. In the pitch-black environment, the darkness had reached the extreme.
Those people were moving slowly. From the upstairs view, they looked like countless densely packed reptiles.
Perhaps this description is a bit inappropriate. The fourth floor is not that high and cannot achieve that kind of visual effect.
But the feeling was similar, densely packed humanoid objects moving in Lin Mo's perception, whether it was the weirdness of the scene and surrounding atmosphere at this time, or the psychological effect of the uncanny valley, even though Lin Mo had experienced so many things,
Having seen so many ghosts and monsters, I couldn't help but feel my scalp numb when faced with such a situation.
They were people, but they were not people. Even now, Lin Mo didn't know what those things were. This feeling of ignorance made Lin Mo very uncomfortable, but there was no other way at the moment.
Thick crowds of people were walking downstairs. Although he could see those guys, Lin Mo couldn't see clearly how they were moving.
There were so many densely packed people that Lin Mo could only perceive chaos. He did not carefully sense each person.
The movement trajectory of a human-shaped thing is just a rough perception of the overall situation. Let's call these things people for the time being.
Everyone's movement trajectory is roughly the same, but upon closer inspection, they are different. Everyone has some differences, and there seems to be some pattern. However, upon Lin Mo's closer inspection, he cannot find such a pattern at all.
, all I feel is confusion.
The more he sensed it, the more intense the chaotic feeling in his mind became, making Lin Mo feel a little dizzy.
"This... is so strange~"
Shaking his head, Lin Mo took back his senses and did not continue to worry about these guys. Now the old lady has agreed to lend Lin Mo a black paper lantern. Although it is only for an hour a day, it can make Lin Mo use it.
Can safely explore the situation in this community.
Withdrawing his perception, Lin Mo began to think about another thing.
"Looking at the current situation, there is no way for these things to enter the building, but the building looks very ordinary and does not seem to have any protection or formations."
With this thought in his mind, Lin Mo spread his perception to the building next to him, trying to see if he could find out why these things could not enter the residential building. His perception spread to the side. Next to the old man's house was Lu Qian's home.
Lin Mo was the first to investigate the situation of Lu Qian's family.
In the darkness, the perception gradually spread. Lin Mo felt it carefully, and suddenly his whole body was shaken. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he stopped in his tracks and did not move.
"Is there anyone?"
Lin Mo was surprised. He didn't expect that he could feel someone standing on the balcony of Lucy's house.
Just now, Lin Mo's perception followed the power of the shadow and spread to the balcony of Lucy's house, but suddenly he felt that there was a figure standing there behind the balcony window.
In order not to alarm the snake, Lin Mo instantly withdrew his senses. He wanted to retreat and withdraw from the balcony, but realized that at this time, the whole world was completely dark. Even if the other person was standing opposite him, he could not see it at all.
to his existence.
But if he moves too much, he might attract the other person's attention.
Just like this, Lin Mo stopped in shock and did not retreat. He couldn't understand why there was someone standing there on the balcony of Lu Qian's house at this time.
"Is it Lucy, or someone else?"
The perception was withdrawn too quickly. Lin Mo only knew that there was someone on the balcony of Lu Qian's house, but he didn't know who that person was.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo did not continue to spread his senses there, but probed towards the room on the other side. When Lin Mo followed the black shadow to the balcony of that room, his expression changed again.
