Lin Mo stood on the fourth floor, closed his eyes, and controlled the black shadow to spread to the two houses next to him. What he was looking for was an unoccupied room.
The black shadow entered the room along the crack in the door and spread into countless threads, and Lin Mo's perception continued to extend.
It may be very easy to tell whether a room is occupied during the day. Just look at whether there is a lot of dust in the room and whether there are any signs of life in the room. But in this complete darkness,
If you want to determine whether there is someone in a house, the method is different.
Of course, if you can extend your perception, it won't be that difficult to detect the situation in the room.
The first thing that can be detected is the entrance of the room. Generally, if someone lives there, there will definitely be a lot of shoes on the floor of the entrance or in the shoe cabinet next to it, either messy or neat.
This is a very good and very simple way.
Black threads spread, and Lin Mo also noticed the situation in the two houses. As expected, there was indeed a house with no signs of life in it, while the other room seemed to be in a mess.
The black thread didn't spread too far, but you could already feel that the room was very messy. There were scattered things on the ground, including shoes, snack bags, and some random things. In this situation, there was no need to continue.
Explored.
Even if no one lived in that house, Lin Mo would not choose such a room.
After all, with such messy things, if someone enters the room, it is likely to leave a lot of traces.
The room on the left was relatively empty. There were no shoes at the entrance, and the shoe cabinet was also empty. There was only a box that should contain shoe covers, which made Lin Mo's eyes move slightly.
Generally, shoe covers can be placed here. There is a high probability that this house is for rent or for takeout.
As for those shoe covers, they were probably left here by some intermediaries. In order to facilitate bringing customers to see the house, and to avoid soiling the ground, some shoe covers were prepared here.
This also means that during this time period, no one lives in this house.
"This house is in a good location. You can rent it."
With this thought in his mind, Lin Mo spread the shadows into every corner of the room, including the kitchen, living room, and bedroom balcony, just to be cautious. There was no one around, and the whole house was empty. Lin Mo didn't see a single figure, but it was strange.
What's strange is that Lin Mo didn't detect the existence of the black paper lantern here.
"Does it mean that my previous speculation was wrong?"
My heart sank slightly. If not every house had a black paper lantern,
As for the people who live here only have black paper lanterns in their hands, if Lin Mo wants to get more black paper lanterns, he can only choose to rent a house here, or grab them from time to time.
This is not a good idea, but renting a house is not a big problem.
"Forget it, let's go take a look first."
The power of the black shadow once again divided part of it, covering the door lock, and then pried the door open.
After walking into the room, Lin Mo didn't touch anything in the room. He just used the power of black shadow to cover the soles of his shoes, so that he would neither make any sound nor leave any footprints.
Slowly closing the door to the room, Lin Mo walked towards the room step by step.
The rooms in the Garden Community are arranged very strangely. Whether it is the old lady's room, Lu Qian's home, or Chen Yiping's room, there seems to be a room without any windows.
It was like a small storage room, but in fact, it was used as a bedroom.
The old man lives in the room in Lucy's house, although there is no one in it.
The room in the old lady's house was where the old lady lived. Every time Lin Mo went to her house, she would go into the room and not come out. The same was true for Chen Yiping. That room was like a shelter.
can provide them with protection.
Lin Mo had already used the shadow to get a rough idea of the situation in the room. He had had the power of the shadow for such a long time, and walking in the dark had almost become Lin Mo's instinct.
I roughly identified the direction and determined the arrangement of all the furniture in this room. Although no one lives here, there are a lot of furniture, so from this point of view, this house should be rented out.
After finding the windowless room, Lin Mo spread the power of shadow into the room as before, and after roughly exploring the situation, he slowly walked in.
His primary purpose of coming here is to look for black paper lanterns. Although judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that there are no black paper lanterns here, but he still feels a little unwilling to not look carefully.
Entering the room, Lin Mo's steps suddenly stopped, and he felt inexplicably that the room was a little depressing.
It is a normal thing to feel depressed in a room without any windows, but for Lin Mo, this situation is very abnormal.
At midnight, unless black paper lanterns are lit, there will be no light anywhere in the garden community, and everything will be dark.
In this case, it makes no difference whether there are windows or not.
The reason why windows can make people feel that the space is not so depressing is because windows are a space that can communicate with the outside.
The passage to the world, but in this situation of complete darkness, the existence or not of the window is completely unimportant.
Even if there is a window, it is open, and there is no way to bring any light to the room in such an environment.
Being in total darkness, no matter where you are, you are in a small, closed room.
Lin Mo had walked through so many places before, and even when he was among the overlapping figures, he didn't feel this strange sense of depression. But when he walked into this room, he really felt it.
, if this doesn’t mean there is something wrong with this room, that is the biggest problem.
Because of this strange feeling, Lin Mo instantly became vigilant and subconsciously retreated to the door. Black shadows swept out crazily like waves, spreading to every corner of the room, under the bed, cabinets, and everything Lin Mo had just seen.
Places that have not been explored.
As the black shadow spread, everything in the room appeared in Lin Mo's perception, and Lin Mo's expression changed again at this time.
But this time it was not that he encountered any danger, but that he smiled.
Lin Mo walked quickly to the bed, then bent down, placed the black paper lantern on the ground, reached under the bed, took something out from under the bed, and took the thing into his hand.
, Lin Mo's face was full of joy.
What was in his hand was a black paper lantern, exactly the same as the black paper lantern placed aside by Lin Mo.
"It actually does exist!"
Lin Mo initially harbored his previous inferences and put aside the search for the black paper lantern. However, he did not expect that after entering this small room, he actually found the black paper lantern right here.
Lin Mo actually just wanted to gamble on his luck. When he was at Lucy's house, Lin Mo checked the room full of medicinal smell and found a black paper lantern in it.
After making a deal with the old lady, the old lady always took out the black paper lanterns from the room. Today at Chen Yiping's place, she even grabbed the black paper lanterns from the small room.
The situation of these three people made Lin Mo subconsciously feel that there might be a black paper lantern hidden in this small room when he discovered that there was such a small room in the house. After he entered the room,
Because of that weird feeling, he subconsciously spread black shadows to every corner of the room.
Unexpectedly, it was really so easy to find the black paper lantern.
Putting the newly found black paper lantern into the past life mirror space, no matter where the weird feeling came from, being able to find a black paper lantern again, for Lin Moer, today's goal has been achieved more than half.
