When Lu Qian and another woman walked into Unit 4, Lin Mo followed them quietly. When they got on the elevator, they saw that there was only the indicator light for the 4th floor, and then turned around and walked up the stairs.
.
Soon Lin Mo also arrived at the 4th floor, and the two women walked out of the elevator and walked side by side towards Lucy's home. From the look of the woman, it didn't look like it was the first time she came to Lucy's home.
.
Secretly alert in his heart, Lin Mo arrived at the crazy old lady's house and controlled the shadow to spread along the crack in the door to the door lock. Lin Mo discovered that the door of the old lady's house was not locked, just like what he saw yesterday.
generally.
A trace of black shadow spread under his feet to the door of Lucy's house, blocking the peephole. Lin Mo then dodged into the old lady's house, and while closing the door, he took back the power of the shadow.
Although it was only about eight o'clock in the evening, the old lady's house was already dark. The old lady did not turn on the lights. Lin Mo would not turn on the lights rashly at this time.
After standing at the door for a while to get used to it, Lin Mo stepped into the old man's home.
The room was quiet and empty, as if it was inhabited. There was no black paper lantern at the door, and the living room was empty, and no old man was seen. Lin Mo's eyes naturally fell on that room.
On the closed door of the room.
"That should be the old man's bedroom. The old man entered this room yesterday, and he probably hasn't come out yet before the time comes."
With this thought in his mind, Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He moved his steps without making any sound. He quietly came to the sofa and sat down without making any sound.
Lin Mo has to wait here for two hours. Before eleven o'clock, the crazy old lady will definitely prepare the black paper lantern, because the agreement between the two has been reached, no, it should be said to be a deal, although Lin Mo's side of things
It hasn't been done yet, but the old man must borrow the black paper lantern.
There was no sound in the room. Maybe it was because the sound insulation effect of the door was good, or maybe it was for some other reason. Lin Mo was sitting in the living room. Even if he listened carefully, he didn't hear anything in the room.
sound.
The power of shadow spread to every corner of the room by Lin Mo. Even though it was not the first time he entered this room, this room was still a strange place for Lin Mo.
Especially the room where the old man was, Lin Mo had no idea what was hidden in it.
Even so, Lin Mo didn't spread his shadow into the room to explore the other party's secrets. Everyone has secrets, and not all secrets need to be discovered. He is now in a cooperative relationship with the old lady, and he will not do it because of
A little bit of curiosity can ruin the situation.
and
Lin Mo had a vague feeling that if he spread the power of the shadow into that room, there was a high chance that he would be discovered by the old lady pretending to be crazy.
Time passed minute by minute, and the long wait finally passed when the time reached 10:30 in the evening. The door to the room that had been closed slowly opened a gap at 10:30, and a
Some rickety figures walked out of the room.
The specific appearance of the old man could not be seen in the darkness, but with the faint light coming from the window, he could see that the old man was holding an unlit paper lantern in his hand.
"Humph, you came quite early!"
The old man snorted in an incomprehensible tone. It was obvious that he had already discovered that Lin Mo had entered her home.
"Hey, aren't I anxious? Besides, I haven't seen you for such a long time and I really miss you."
Lin Mo said directly with a playful smile, his words were somewhat intimate, and it didn't look like two people just talking about business were communicating.
"You...oh, forget it, the paper lantern is here, you can take it."
The old lady sighed, her original aura suddenly stiffened, and then disappeared. It seemed that the tone of Lin Mo's words brought back memories of the old man's past. Those sad memories made the old man feel a little depressed.
The black paper lantern was put aside by the old man and was not given directly to Lin Mo.
"You wait until eleven o'clock before going out from here. Before that, don't open the door no matter if you hear any noise in the corridor. And remember, this black paper lantern can only be used for one hour, don't time it out."
After a faint explanation, the old man said nothing more and turned around and walked towards the room. It seemed that he was preparing to wait for Lin Mo to leave in the room.
"Old man, I have tried my best to investigate what you told me. I will definitely give you an answer within three days. If he is still here, would you like to see him?"
Seeing the old man's somewhat forlorn back, Lin Mo thought of the old man's transaction with him and asked this question.
After hearing Lin Mo's words, the old lady's footsteps stopped. Even in such a dark room, she could feel the stiffness of the old man's body. Obviously she did not expect that Lin Mo would mention her son at this time.
"No need. Once you find him, help him to be saved as soon as possible. People and ghosts have different paths. There is no need to meet again."
There was a bit of melancholy in his voice, and the weather-beaten tone made people sigh. Then the old man walked into the room without stopping and closed the door tightly.
"Aren't you going to meet?"
The old man left the living room, but Lin Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the closed door in a daze.
.
"It seems that there is something going on here. I hope there won't be any unexpected twists and turns in this matter~"
Lin Mo said this quietly, without deliberately lowering his voice. He seemed to be just sighing, but in fact, he wanted the old man in the room to hear him. Although the voice was not loud and there was a door, but
Lin Mo believed that the old man inside must know what he was talking about at this time.
This old lady is no ordinary person.
He stood up and took the black paper lantern into his hands. What was put down together with the black paper lantern was just an ordinary lighter.
Picking up the paper lantern and a lighter, he quietly walked to the balcony and took a look inside the paper lantern with the faint light. In the container that was supposed to contain lamp oil, Lin Mo saw a dark, thick mass.
The liquid seemed to be some kind of animal fat mixed with some other things.
Lin Mo leaned closer to the hole above the paper lantern and smelled the smell inside. The smell of lamp oil was unpleasant. It was pungent and seemed to smell like something rotten. The smell made people slightly agitated.
Headache.
Lin Mo quickly moved his nose away from the top of the paper lantern, and when he looked at the black paper lantern again, Lin Mo's face became more solemn.
"We still don't know how this lamp oil was made, but it must be mixed with some not-so-good things, and I don't know if it was obtained from the corpse of something."
Just now, Lin Mo asked about a rotten smell from inside. It was precisely because of that smell that Lin Mo knew that this lamp oil was not an ordinary grease, but now Lin Mo didn't know about this lamp oil.
How is it made?
Looking up at the direction of the old man's room, Lin Mo's lips curled up with an inexplicable meaning.
"There is a rotten smell in the lamp oil, but there is no strange smell in the room, and I don't smell any rotten smell in this house. This is a bit strange. It is very likely that it is the lamp oil.
The old lady didn't leave her at home, it seems she was just to guard against me~"
This was not a big deal, but it gave Lin Mo a guess. This lamp oil might not have been prepared by the old lady. But if this kind of thing was not prepared, the old man would have been staying in the room during the day. What happened?
How did you get it?
With doubts in his heart, Lin Mo kept this matter in his mind and did not ask the old lady. Instead, he slowly walked to the door of the room carrying a lantern.
Just now, there were some sounds in the corridor. It seemed like someone was walking out of a certain room. He was walking in the corridor. The door closed loudly, not far away, and the house closest to the old man's house
