Lin Mo left simply for no other reason. From the old man's performance, Lin Mo already knew that the other party had already made a decision.
The old man asked him to go back first. Just the word "Xian" contains a lot of articles. The word "Xian" means that the matter is not over yet.
What does this matter refer to?
The old man saw it clearly, and Lin Mo also knew it quite clearly. Although the two of them did not explain it, the transaction had already begun when the old man took the piece of paper away and put it in his arms.
When talking about adding more money in a transaction, it also depends on the chips of the two parties.
Neither the old security guard nor Lin Mo knew the other party's situation, so any deal they made rashly would lead to some losses.
Just like Lin Mo, he came up and asked for a black paper lantern and a hundred pounds of lamp oil. That was an exorbitant price. He wanted to see if this guess was what he thought.
Judging from the situation at the crazy old lady's home and the fact that he was discovered by the old lady, the problem occurred in the lamp oil of the black paper lantern. It was precisely because of this lamp oil that the old man was able to sense Lin Mo.
There are many things in the community that cannot be explained clearly, and no one can explain them to Lin Mo.
If people with black paper lanterns can walk freely in the community at night carrying black paper lanterns, then why is it that in the entire community, only that crazy old lady can carry a paper lantern and walk around?
And although this old security guard has a black paper lantern and lamp oil, he can only hide in the security room and has no way to get out?
When he was at Lucy's house before, Lin Mo had let the power of shadow spread into the room where the old man lived, and he also sensed the presence of a paper lantern inside. Although Lin Mo guessed that it might also be a black paper lantern, but in the end
There is no way to verify it yet.
If Lucy's family has it, then it's possible that not only these few people in the entire community have it, it's even possible that everyone has such a black paper lantern in their home, but why is it that only the old security guard can use this black paper lantern?
With that old lady?
What is the connection between the two of them?
In other words, why do only these two people have the lamp oil in their hands that can light up the black paper lanterns?
If there were other people, then last night, when Lin Mo broke into the room in Building 6 and took away the puppet, it was impossible for the other party not to chase him out. This also proved from the side that the lamp oil was scarce.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Mo had already concluded from the beginning that this lamp oil must be unusual, so he asked for a hundred kilograms of lamp oil.
If the old security guard agreed directly and was only bothered about the black paper lantern, then it can only be said that Lin Mo had thought about the wrong thing before, and everything must be overturned and started again.
Thinking.
Although the old security guard didn't seem to say anything, he was sincere after accepting the piece of paper and revealed a lot of information to Lin Mo in his words.
First, he directly pointed out that the lamp oil of the black paper lantern was unusual and much more precious than the black paper lantern. Then, he told Lin Mo that people here had no way to leave Maple City, and something big was going to happen here, and this matter was
It will completely explode within this year and a half.
Although this is just a simple statement, it is actually to explore Lin Mo's background. If Lin Mo leaves here and stays away from the incident, he owes the old man his life, becomes a love, and the deal is concluded. Lin Mo needs to deal with it.
The remaining contents of the ancient book were given to the old man, and the transaction was concluded.
But Lin Mo chose to continue, so this could only be regarded as a gimmick. The old man's warning was of little value to Lin Mo, so the deal could only go on.
That's why the old man directly said that Lin Mo should go first. This first not only meant that the matter was not settled, but also showed that the old man would find Lin Mo soon and proceed with the transaction.
Lin Mo didn't get entangled. One was because the ancient book in his hand was indeed something the old man was interested in. The other was that he could also see the old man's fear. The old man's look showed that even if he had something to say, he couldn't stay in the security room.
explain.
Lin Mo didn't know what the other party was afraid of, but there was only one possibility.
That is, there may be something hidden around the security room. That thing is always paying attention to the situation inside the security room, or it may be hiding someone. It is because of this person that the old security guard cannot tell some things clearly.
So as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
So Lin Mo didn't hesitate at all, got up and left directly. The transaction had started quietly. The old security guard wanted the contents of the ancient book, and Lin Mo wanted the secret of the Garden Community.
The pattern on that page of the book was the deposit delivered by Lin Mo. It seemed that the two of them had not agreed on anything, and even the deal had become corrupt. But in fact, the cooperation had been reached, and the real deal had already begun, but it was not open to outsiders.
Just know it.
After leaving the garden community, Lin Mo did not stay. He walked quickly and left the area in just a moment.
The old man's last performance made Lin Mo feel fearful. From the old man's reaction, he could be sure that there must be someone or something hidden around the security room.
But when Lin Mo went out, he controlled the power of the shadow to spread to the surroundings and carefully investigated, but found nothing. Not to mention ghosts or people, there was not even a small animal around.
This made Lin Mo unable to figure out who or what was monitoring the security room where the old security guard was.
.
He left quickly just to prevent the hidden guy from becoming suspicious and affecting the deal between him and the old security guard. At the same time, he also wanted to see if the other party would quietly follow him.
Lin Mo couldn't deal with that thing in the security room, but when he returned to the bookstore, or back to Maple Street, things would be completely different.
Walking on the street, Lin Mo looked as usual. His expression did not change due to what happened in the security room, and he did not make any thinking or hesitant moves. It was just that he did not take a few steps out.
, all have to pause.
Whenever he rounded a corner, his hand would inadvertently touch the wall, looking very casual.
But if someone pays attention, they will definitely find that the road that Lin Mo walked has one thing in common, that is, it is very narrow and there are not many street lights. Even in normal times, there are basically not many.
People pass by.
After turning a few more corners, Lin Mo's pace suddenly accelerated, and he ran quickly along the original path, his speed almost reaching the extreme.
"Brush brush brush"
The road that originally took a long time to walk was back to the original place in just a few minutes, standing on the street opposite the garden community. Then Lin Mo turned around again, stepped forward, and left quickly, this time.
Walk towards Maple Street.
More than an hour later, Lin Mo finally arrived at the intersection of Fenglin Street. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright. After entering Fenglin Street, Lin Mo began to shuttle through the alleys as before.
Almost replicating the previous behavior method, I touched the wall at every corner, then arrived at the door of the bookstore, quickly returned along the original route, and stood at the intersection of Maple Street.
After doing this, by the time Lin Mo took the main road and returned to the bookstore, it was already completely bright, and someone had already opened the breakfast shop on the opposite street and was ready for business.
But this time, Lin Mo didn't buy any breakfast. Instead, he opened the door of the bookstore with a gloomy look. Without turning on the light, he walked directly into the bookstore, found a candle, lit it, put it on the table, and then used his wrist like this
After a while, he threw two stacks of dusty paper charms on the table.
Lin Mo's palms were also covered with dust, but he didn't pay attention. He just looked at the two stacks of paper charms spread out, and his face became increasingly ugly.
This paper talisman is drawn on yellow paper, but it is not a yellow talisman, and its function has nothing to do with the yellow talisman. It has no attack power and no magical effect, but there is something special about this paper talisman.
That is, if something touches the paper charm, some traces of that thing will remain on it.
