The old security guard didn't clean up. He came here to discuss business with Lin Mo, not to do work. In the end, Lin Mo got up, collected all the garbage and threw it outside. Then he returned to the bookstore with an indifferent expression and sat down again.
.
This time it was finally time to discuss the deal, and the old man's expression became much more solemn.
"Okay, boy, just tell me what you want. Don't be too loud and take out the book first."
The old security guard did not go around in circles with Lin Mo. After several rounds, he had a certain understanding of Lin Mo. He knew that although the boy sitting in front of him looked like nothing, in fact, this guy was very knowledgeable about all kinds of things.
To be honest, the old man is also quite curious about Lin Mo. He has been in Maple City for a long time, but he has never heard of Lin Mo.
He looked Lin Mo up and down, then turned to look at the bookstore. His eyes stayed on a few small ornaments on the table for a moment, and then looked at Lin Mo again.
"I can't take out the book, but the contents are all here."
Lin Mo pointed to his head, and then spread his hands. It was very obvious that Lin Mo was not going to hand over the ancient book.
"Boy, that book is mine!"
The old security guard slapped his hand on the table and his beard trembled. He actually felt a little familiar with Lin Mo's rogue appearance.
"Being angry is harmful to your body. You are so old, so you better not get angry. By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet. Your strength is rare in Maple City. I don't know what kind of profession you are.
Which sect's seniors are you from?"
Rather than continuing the conversation along with the old man's topic, Lin Mo directly changed the topic and came to another thing that he was very interested in.
Just like Lin Mo said, although the old man was at a disadvantage in several encounters, Lin Mo knew that the old man sitting in front of him had not shown a lot of strength. In fact, he had always been curious in his heart.
The identity of the old man.
In this maple city, he really had never heard of such a famous figure.
"What? You don't know who I am?"
The old man's voice rose an octave. He didn't expect such a result at all, but seeing Lin Mo's calm look, he was a little confused for a moment.
"This kid really doesn't know, so he still pretends to be stupid with me here, but in this situation, there is no need for him to pretend to be stupid with me anymore~"
His eyes were wandering, but Lin Mo remained indifferent. The old man was finally sure that the boy in front of him really didn't know who he was. An unknown boy suddenly jumped out and then held him tightly.
This not only made the old man sigh, but the wave behind him always pushed the wave ahead.
The waves have long been beaten to death on the beach.
"Alas~"
A sigh mixed with a lot of sadness, and a few lonely wrinkles appeared on the old man's face.
"Forget it, it's all in the past. It doesn't matter if I don't mention my identity or not~"
There was a slight desolation in that voice. The old man didn't know that if he hadn't happened to meet Lin Mo, he might still be high-spirited at this time. Lin Mo can only be regarded as an example and cannot be evaluated based on Lin Mo's strength.
The strength of everyone in their age group.
The old man actually understood that being able to have such strength at Lin Mo's age was definitely not something that ordinary people could achieve, but it didn't matter if it was the outstanding young people he knew. Such a completely unknown boy would not be able to do it at all.
I don't know where this guy came from, but he was even more powerful than him casually. Even if he guessed that Lin Mo was not an ordinary person behind him, he would inevitably have some other thoughts.
"My surname is Feng. As for Feng, you can just call me Mr. Feng."
The old man opened his mouth and said his surname, but did not say his full name.
Hearing this surname, Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the old security guard with a much more solemn look. Feng was a surname that was rare. Lin Mo once remembered that when he traveled with the old man, he walked through so many places.
I have met so many people in this place, but I only met two people named Feng.
Time has passed so long that Lin Mo was still a half-year-old child at that time. He could not remember the name of the man named Feng at that time or whether he had anything to do with the old man in front of him. However, Lin Mo vaguely remembered the identity of that man.
Not simple.
He didn't know what the relationship was between the man he met back then and the old man in front of him, but his attitude towards the old man became more solemn.
"Boy, what's that look in your eyes?"
Noticing Lin Mo's changes, the old man was surprised. He obviously just simply said his last name, but the whole temperament of the scoundrel boy in front of him changed.
"Boy, do you know anyone named Feng?"
Apart from this reason, the old man really couldn't find any other explanation, but logically speaking, Lin Mo shouldn't meet anyone with the surname Feng.
"I met him, a long time ago."
The words were simple, and Lin Mo did not deliberately hide it. It was not a big deal to let the old man know that he had met someone named Feng.
"You... forget it, it stands to reason that there are so many people in Maple City who will meet someone named Feng, but there is definitely no one like you among them. I don't know where you come from.
Yes, forget it, tell me, what do you want?"
The old man's gaze is indistinguishable
He glanced out the window. Although he had arrived at this bookstore, he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere on this street the first time he walked in.
"What is the secret of that ancient book? And I want to know everything about the Garden Community, everything you know and can tell."
Leaning forward, Lin Mo directly stated his purpose.
"Boy, you are a bit of a lion. You actually want to know the secrets in the book, or the things in this garden community. Do you have such a big appetite and can you swallow so many things at the same time?
?”
Mr. Feng sneered, his eyelids twitched, and his evaluation of Lin Mo dropped a lot.
"It's a good thing for young people to be ambitious, but not everything can be done. In this world, there is no such thing as becoming a big fat man after one bite. You'd better take it step by step. Moreover, even if you know that ancient book
I’m afraid I don’t even know what those patterns mean.”
"If you only have this one chip, it's not enough."
What Mr. Feng said was reasonable and well-founded. No matter which direction you looked at it, the gap between the chips in Lin Mo's hands and the increase he reported was not the slightest bit. If Lin Mo only exchanged this for one of them,
Maybe Mr. Feng would agree, but now, even if the deal cannot be concluded, Mr. Feng would not agree to Lin Mo's transaction conditions so easily.
"There is no way, I have to do both of these. These two things are related to my life and death. I am not a lion, but I have to do it as a last resort. That ancient book..."
"Mr. Feng, that ancient book should have been in your hands for a long time, but you can't see what's on it. I can see what's on it, but that book is like poison to me now.
There is an extremely terrible attraction. I dare not read that book now because that state makes me feel very bad."
"When I saw that book, everything around me seemed to be blocked, so I only drew most of the pattern. Although I don't know what happened, that thing must have a lot to do with me.
relationship, and the matters in Huayuan Community are related to my wealth and life, so I don’t have to explore the secrets therein.”
"But now I have no way to escape from the things in Huayuan Community. Only by knowing more things can I save my life. Therefore, these two conditions are necessary, and I don't have any of them."
I have given up the method, and I hope you will forgive me."
Lin Mo said these words with a very solemn expression. This was not entirely a lie. He just transferred what happened to Liao Yu to him. From the moment Liao Yu touched the ancient book, Liao Yu's state had been
This made Lin Mo doubtful.
Therefore, Lin Mo must kill him with one blow, and there is no room for negotiation.
