In the living room of Lucy's house, Little Lily and Lin Mo were sitting face to face on both sides of the sofa. The TV had been turned off, and looking at the state of the two people, they seemed to be in an atmosphere that could be called a negotiation.
"So, is this deal fair?"
Little Lily smiled, very brightly, but also a little bit disharmonious.
There is still a slight difference between a child's smile and an adult's smile, but Lin Mo was sitting on the sofa opposite, frowning and thinking about something.
His eyes will turn to thirty minutes ago. At that time, Lin Mo got up and prepared to leave here, and then went to the old lady's house to complete the task that was done almost every day - holding a black paper lantern to explore the secrets of the community.
But Little Lily stopped Lin Mo as he stood up. The reason was very simple. She wanted to negotiate a deal with Lin Mo, which could also be said to be a business.
For the next thirty minutes, the two of them kept arguing, arguing, compromising, and then continuing to argue over the bargaining chips of the deal.
Now that the time is getting closer and closer to eleven o'clock, the quarrel between the two has reached a balance point, and then they quietly began to compromise and became calm.
The conditions proposed by Xiao Lili are not impossible for Lin Mo. They are difficult, but also very simple——
Lin Mo needs to promise her to take her out of this community at a certain time.
Yes, from a literal point of view, it is quite simple for Lin Mo. As long as he takes little Lily out of this community, it is something that any adult can easily do, whether it is holding her or carrying her on her back.
, or other ways.
For a person who is nearly 1.8 meters tall and weighs more than 100 kilograms, it is a simple effort. Even if he is stronger, he can directly carry a child like Little Lily out.
And the most important thing is that Little Lily only wants Lin Mo to agree, not Lin Mo to do it, which leaves room for Lin Mo to regret.
The only problem here is the word "some time".
There is no definite time, whether it will be today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Lin Mo doesn't know what will be going on in the Garden Community at that time, and what will happen to Little Lily at that time, and no one can predict it in advance.
Lin Mo couldn't even think of whether Little Lily was still alive at that certain point in time that Little Lily mentioned.
This is a very important question. We know that the Garden Community may hide a big secret, and this secret may break out at a certain time in less than a year, and then there may be extreme danger, or
Nothing happened.
Even Lin Mo himself didn't know that if he encountered that kind of extreme danger, what would he do at that time?
Is he already dead or has he escaped?
If he agrees to Little Lily's condition and the time mentioned by the other party is the time when the crisis breaks out, then Lin Mo will be involved in that huge whirlpool whether he wants it or not.
But this point seems to have become less important when giving Xiao Lili just a piece of cake to ask Lin Mo to agree, and on the premise that he can regret it. After agreeing, if something unexpected happens at that time, Lin Mo cannot fulfill it or
If you don't want to fulfill this promise and break the contract unilaterally, all this will be nothing but empty talk.
No binding!
It's like telling a lie. You can just deny it when the time comes, because this kid has no intention of signing any contract or anything else with Lin Mo.
It's just a verbal agreement.
The price proposed by Little Lily made Lin Mo very excited. She would tell Lin Mo the rules of this garden community.
That's right, it's a rule, something that Lin Mo has been carefully exploring in the garden community during this period, testing a little bit.
Now as long as he agrees, then Lin Mo will be able to know all the rules in this garden community. It cannot be said that it is just that Xiao Lili knows all the things about the rules of the garden community. As for the others, they are not included in this transaction.
among.
The price was very exciting. Originally, according to Lin Mo's character, after confirming that little Lily might be a twin soul, he faced a guy who had lived for who knows how many years and was reincarnated in the world after some inexplicable and evil rituals.
This person in little Lily's body.
Lying seems to be something unacceptable from time to time.
Even after Lin Mo heard this condition, he immediately wanted to agree, but just when he was about to speak, Lin Mo saw Little Lily's indifferent expression with a slight smile.
He realized something was wrong. This deal seemed too childish. It didn't look like a deal that a scheming guy could talk about. Moreover, the deal was not equivalent.
There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. If there is, the pie may have expired, or it may be a discus, or a brick.
Lin Mo had never encountered such a good thing before, and now that he had met this little Lily, it was certainly impossible for him to meet him like this.
Judging from this transaction, it seems that the other party wants to take the initiative to tell him the rules of the garden community, and the conditions proposed by the other party can almost be ignored.
But it was precisely because of this that Lin Mo had some doubts, and the more indifferent Little Lily acted, the greater the doubts became.
Several questions kept echoing in Lin Mo's mind.
"Does she want to let me know the rules of the garden community and then completely drag me into this vortex?"
"
In other words, she has a way to be sure that after I agree to her conditions, I will definitely take her out of the Garden Community at that certain time?"
"She is completely able to walk out on her own now, but she asked me to agree to this. Has she determined that she must be taken by someone at a certain time to leave here?"
"Or maybe the she she's talking about is not the little girl?"
"Does her choice and performance today have something to do with the commotion I made in the building next to me?"
... ...
At this moment, Lin Mo thought a lot, too much. Little Lily's attitude was so weird that Lin Mo couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
There was a voice in his heart telling Lin Mo to agree to this request. After all, he could regret it directly when the time came. After understanding the rules of the garden community, he would be able to better explore the situation in the garden community, and even directly enter the garden community.
Expand the layout in it.
And this might allow Lin Mo to find some clues about the power of the black shadow, or even clues about Linjia Village.
But countless doubts bothered Lin Mo, making him unable to make that choice, because he felt that the other party's attitude was very wrong. It was an attitude of "you can agree, but I won't lose anything if you don't agree".
I pondered for a long time and thought about it a lot. The more I thought about it, the more difficult this decision became.
"Have you thought about it?"
Little Lily's voice sounded again, and she leaned back on the armchair of the sofa. From the look in her eyes, it was impossible to tell what the little girl was thinking at this time.
"I...go back and think about it."
Lin Mo hesitated. Under this situation, Lin Mo had no choice but to hesitate, but his eyes were fixed on Little Lily, watching every expression and every change in her eyes. But unfortunately, Little Lily still behaved the same way.
He was very indifferent and didn't have any unnecessary reaction because of Lin Mo's words.
"Okay, then remember to pick me up tomorrow morning and take me to school. Then you don't have to worry about lunch or anything else. Pick me up from school at four o'clock in the afternoon. You should know where my school is."
"Know."
"That's good. I don't need to explain too much. You can leave. Remember to tell me your decision after you think about it."
Little Lily waved to Lin Mo, not caring at all.
"good."
After a simple reply, Lin Mo walked directly to the door without any hesitation, turned the door handle, opened the door, and walked out.
Lin Mo's face looked ugly, and he felt quite bad. A seemingly simple transaction seemed to be turning into a lingering haze, gradually shrouding Lin Mo...
