The footsteps echoed in the corridor. In the empty corridor, except for the footsteps of this person, there was no sound.
"What is this man doing?"
It was not difficult to tell from the sound that this person was a woman. The sound of the heels of high heels hitting the ground was very high-resolution. Although Lin Mo couldn't see the situation outside, he had a rough picture in his mind.
A woman walked out of Lucy's house and walked slowly in the corridor.
But the footsteps did not go away forever, but lingered in the corridor. The elevator was not far away. If the person outside the door was about to go downstairs, the footsteps would go away and then disappear near the elevator.
But the sound of footsteps echoed endlessly in the corridor.
Just when Lin Mo had this idea, the footsteps came to the old lady's door for the third time, and then suddenly stopped.
"She's outside the door? Who is this person? Lucy, or the woman she brought back?"
Lin Mo's body tensed up for a moment, and the power of the shadow instantly spread throughout his body. At this moment, Lin Mo was like a cheetah, ready to dodge from the door at any time, and then launch the most violent attack in the next second.
Through a door, Lin Mo seemed to be able to see the person standing outside the door. The person was facing Lin Mo's direction and didn't know what he was doing.
The shadow did not spread along the crack in the door. The woman was outside the door. In this situation, even if Lin Mo was brave, he also needed to be cautious. The power of the black shadow had caused accidents more than once. First, he was wrapped in the black shadow.
He was discovered by the old lady, and then sensed by the security guard.
Lin Mo didn't know anything about the woman who appeared next to Lucy now, and had never seen her before. Did she have any special abilities? Could she sense Lin Mo hiding in the shadows?
All this is unknown.
Under this situation, Lin Mo even held his breath, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, and did not dare to take a breath.
It's not that she's afraid of the other party's strength, but that this woman may affect Lin Mo's next plan. I don't know if this woman is Lucy, or the woman I haven't seen before. These two people appeared at the old man's door, and they were very interested in Lin Mo.
They are two completely different results.
If it is Lucy, then it means that there must be some kind of relationship between Lucy and this old lady that Lin Mo doesn't know about yet.
If it is the woman brought back by Lucy, it is not just that simple. The other party may have discovered his existence. Although this possibility is somewhat low, Lin Mo, who has been discovered twice, does not think that at this time
, hidden in the shadows with no way of being discovered.
"Why did she stop? Is it really that woman and she has discovered me?"
With this thought in his mind, Lin Mo's eyes were focused on the paper lantern he was holding in his hand.
"The old lady didn't notice me at the beginning yesterday. It was only after she finished burning the paper that she felt my presence. Either it was related to the burning of paper last night, or it was related to this black paper lantern."
"The black paper lantern is not lit now. Logically speaking, even if the power of the shadow has any drawbacks, she should not be aware of my existence in this situation."
"Unless what she senses is not me, but something else."
Lin Mo seemed to have guessed something as his eyes rolled over the black paper lantern in his hand.
At this moment, the footsteps sounded again, getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that the man was gradually moving away, but Lin Mo still didn't make any move. Although it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, but in this kind of situation
Despite the situation, he stood at the door with no intention of going out.
Because the person standing at the door did not leave!
Yes, although the footsteps gradually faded away and became smaller and smaller, and finally could no longer be heard, Lin Mo knew very well that the man had not left.
Only the first few footsteps were actually walking away, and the next few footsteps were completely fake.
"She is covering up, is she waiting for me to go out? No, how did she know that I am going out?"
His heart sank, and Lin Mo had a vague feeling that this matter, no, it should be said that the person outside the door was more powerful than he imagined, but Lin Mo couldn't figure out the purpose of this woman.
"Do you want to take action?"
A thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and then Lin Mo realized another problem, that is, he didn't seem to hear the sound of the door closing in the corridor just now.
"No, that person is not the only one in the corridor now. The footsteps earlier were also a bit strange. Could it be that more than one person has come to the door of this door?"
Realizing the possible changes, Lin Mo's face became darker and he slowly took a step back. If the person standing outside the door was not alone, then this matter would become more complicated.
"Did they discover me, or did Lucy originally call this woman here just to deal with the old lady in this room?"
He slowly turned his head and glanced at the room where the old man was staying. The door was still closed. You couldn't see the old lady's actions here at all, and you didn't even know what the old man's expression was or what he was preparing for.
"Did they choose to take action today because they discovered something yesterday, or were they prepared for it, or was it a coincidence?"
Different purposes, completely different results, which will not only affect Lin Mo's treatment of the outside world
The attitudes of these people also affect Lin Mo's attitude towards the old man in the room. If it is the first reason, then Lin Mo must take action and completely eliminate this hidden danger, because he is the cause of this incident.
But if it was the second or third type, then Lin Mo might have been pulled into another situation silently, and the old man was with the people outside the door, or with Lu Qian.
Silence became the main tone at this moment. No one outside left. Lin Mo, who was hiding in the room, was silent. The two sides were facing each other silently through a door.
The time was getting closer and closer to eleven o'clock in the evening, but both the people outside and Lin Mo in the room were waiting.
"Click~"
Just when Lin Mo looked grim and thought about what to do next, the old lady's closed room suddenly made a sound of the door lock turning.
"squeak"
The door was opened, and Lin Mo's attention was instantly attracted by the figure walking out of the room. The old lady walked out of the room.
"What does she want to do? Why does she come out at this time?"
His body tensed instantly, and Lin Mo's vigilance had been raised to the extreme, ready to attack anything around him at any time.
As a result, the old lady did not walk towards the door as Lin Mo guessed, but slowly walked towards the balcony. The old lady's behavior made Lin Mo even more confused, but she did not
Don't let your guard down because of this.
Footsteps sounded in the room slowly. The old man slowly walked to the window of the balcony, and then pulled the curtains from the side, which plunged the already dark room into deeper darkness.
among.
"Why are there curtains there?"
Lin Mo was a little confused. Logically speaking, few people would install curtains on this balcony. When he entered the room, he didn't notice that there was such a decoration on the balcony.
But the question is, what was the purpose of the old man closing the curtains at this time?
Whether the surroundings are dark or not, whether there is light or not, has no effect on Lin Mo who controls the power of shadows. Therefore, even if the old man blocks out all the light, he will not be in any danger to Lin Mo.
But the old man happened to do such a seemingly meaningless behavior, which made Lin Mo, who was already very wary, more and more curious about the secrets hidden by this old lady.
But almost at the same time that the old man closed the curtains, there was another sound of footsteps in the corridor. Lin Mo could clearly distinguish them. They were the footsteps of two people, and then the sound of a door slamming suddenly appeared, and then
