Lin Mo secretly gave the two amplifiers to Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun.

Then they separated to search for Shadow in the library.

This is a fishing tactic.

Since Xiaoyu said that Yingzi is very strong and the other party has obtained her memory, the other party will definitely make a judgment based on her own strength in her memory.

If he continues to stay with Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun, Yingzi will definitely be afraid and will not act rashly.

But if they separate, isn't there a chance?

Moreover, Lin Mo asked Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun to act together, while he acted alone.

Under normal circumstances, the shadow will definitely attack the one who is alone and weaker.

Obviously, Lin Mo now fully meets this characteristic.

Acting alone and with weak strength, Shadow would definitely seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Lin Mo as long as he had a brain.

Lin Mo is good at fishing.

Especially using himself as bait, he had done this before and was very familiar with it.

He began to pretend to search in the library. He seemed to be alert, but in fact, there were flaws everywhere, like a person who was trying to sell his head. He was obviously telling others, come and attack me, I am very easy to be attacked, and there will be no chance of getting this chance again if you miss this opportunity.

But after a while, the shadow didn't attack either.

Quite cautious.

Lin Mo was anxious, but he could only be patient, muttering something in a small voice, actually praying that the other party would act quickly. "I'm in this condition now, I can't expect to tie myself up, that would be too obvious."

The library of Leiden College is obviously an old place, and it has been around for at least a hundred years, as can be seen from its architectural style.

According to normal logic, the older the building is, the more likely it is to harbor dirt and filth.

Most of the weird stories are associated with such old buildings. It seems that any old buildings and houses are bound to be associated with those scary things.

People will be afraid of them and feel fear. Fear is an emotion, and any emotion is contagious.

So in the real world, old buildings and old houses are at most accompanied by some insignificant ghost stories that cannot be verified, but in the nightmare world, the situation is completely different.

When people are afraid of something, they think there must be a scary evil ghost in a certain house.

Then, there will be evil spirits in that house.

"I'm afraid that not many people come to this library on weekdays."

Lin Mo was anxious because he couldn't catch any fish for a long time, but he knew that being anxious was useless, so he simply began to explore the library seriously.

Modern libraries are spacious, with bright windows and rooms, and they have chairs and benches; but this place is like a cellar, small and dark. However, because it is built upstairs, it is not damp.

This place is haunted.

Lin Mo soon met one.

The other person hid under a collapsed bookshelf, with his whole body tucked inside. No, his lower body was crushed by the collapsed bookshelf, which was quite uncomfortable to watch.

Lin Mo squatted down and looked at the other person.

This is an evil spirit.

The body was squeezed by the bookshelf for a long time, causing the head to be flattened and the skull to crack, revealing the flesh inside, like a squeezed watermelon.

"What are you doing squatting here?"

Lin Mo asked curiously.

The evil spirit probably didn't expect that someone would actually talk to it, because over the countless years in the past, anyone who saw it would scream in fear and then turn around and run away.

Without exception.

The evil spirit felt that it was because it did not show its terrifying side.

It grinned, pried open its head, revealing more flesh and blood, and even reached out to grab Lin Mo.

This trick has always worked and has scared countless men and women to death in the past.

The evil spirits enjoy this, otherwise it would be too boring to stay in such a dark place.

It thought that this time would be the same as before, the other party would be scared to death, and then it would experience the momentary happiness in laughter, and then continue to be silent and enjoy the solitude.

However, it didn't expect that the hand it stretched out was held by the other party.

The evil spirit was stunned.

"It must be very uncomfortable to be pressed down there. Come here. I just happen to have something to ask you, so I'll do you a favor."

Lin Mo grabbed the bottom of the bookshelf with his other hand and lifted it up with force.

A crackling sound was heard.

The extremely heavy bookshelf was actually lifted up.

Then with a pull, the evil spirit was pulled out from underneath.

Half of the evil spirit's body was crushed, but no matter what, it has now escaped.

Even it itself couldn't believe it.

Ever since it was born, it has been pressed under the collapsed bookshelf. I don’t know how many years have passed, but I didn’t expect that one day it would be able to come out.

Lin Mo squatted down and continued to talk to the evil spirit.

"From your looks, you must have been here for a long time, so you must be very familiar with this place, right? Hey, I'm asking you a question, answer it."

Lin Mo reached out and knocked on the other person's cracked skull.

The evil spirit finally understood everything at this moment.

The person in front of me is not an ordinary person.

Seeing that he was not afraid at all, on the contrary, when he faced this person, he felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Like a mountain.

It is much heavier than the bookshelf on which it is pressed.

The evil spirit immediately realized that if the other party wanted to, it could easily crush it to death.

Thinking of the other party's previous question, the evil spirit finally responded and said in a hoarse and distorted voice: "I am very familiar with this place."

"That's good!" Lin Mo nodded: "During this period, has anyone come to the library, or has anything happened?"

"have!"

The evil spirit said that this place was rarely visited on weekdays, as could be seen from the thick dust on the bookshelves and books.

But because so few people come here, the evil spirits remember every one of them very clearly.

"Some time ago, a woman came here. She was an evil spirit, just like me. But she didn't seem to notice me, and I was too lazy to provoke her. But there's something else here that's targeting her..."

"Shadow?" Lin Mo asked.

"Yes, it's a shadow." The evil spirit's two eyeballs were squeezed so that one of them bulged out, and one was looking this way and the other was looking that way.

Amidst the weirdness, there is an inexplicable sense of humor.

Lin Mo asked the evil spirit to explain in detail.

The evil spirit might have been suppressed under the bookshelf for too long, and it knew it couldn't afford to offend Lin Mo, so all its malicious and vicious emotions were suppressed at this moment.

Tell me what you know honestly.

"I knew that Shadow attacked the female ghost. They had a fight and the female ghost thought she had killed Shadow, but in fact Shadow was unkillable. It used some means to hide in the female ghost's body and then completed the transformation."

"What conversion?" Lin Mo asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's it. The shadow became a female ghost, and the female ghost became a shadow."

This situation is the same as what Lin Mo currently knows.

It seems that this is the truth.

Now that Shadow didn't take the bait, Lin Mo simply decided to get to know the other party better. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

"You and Yingzi are old neighbors, right?" Lin Mo asked.

The evil spirit said yes, they have known each other for a long, long time.

"Tell me about Shadow."

"OK!"

The evil spirit said that the shadow was not originally born here.

"It's different from me. I'm a native here, but it's from outside. I remember it was brought in by a female student. That female student was a little mentally ill. She came here every day for a while and read a book on the bookshelf over there."

Lin Mo asked the evil spirit to guide him. He wanted to see what the book was.

Soon, Lin Mo found it.

In a very secret corner, I found a horror novel called "Shadow".

Lin Mo was about to open the book to read, but the evil spirit stopped him, saying that the female student created the shadow because she read this novel last time.

"Don't look at it. If you do, you'll end up like that female student."

Lin Mo asked what happened to the female student later.

"Dead, died miserably!"

After hearing this, Lin Mo just smiled and opened the novel without hesitation.

He probably understood what was going on.

A female student from Leiden College, after secretly reading this horror novel, developed a certain fear and fantasy, and the fear created the "shadow" in her imagination.

This is the prototype and birth process of shadow.

In this case, this novel is a must-read.

Only by reading it can you thoroughly understand Shadow from its essence, and find Shadow's weaknesses from these contents and exploit them.

Lin Mo didn't mind the dirt on the ground, he just sat down on it, lit the candle next to him, and started reading.

The evil spirit also crawled over and asked curiously what was written on it.

"You want to hear it? Okay, I'll read it to you!"

"Thanks!"

It is indeed very lonely. No one has ever chatted with it, let alone had anyone to keep it company. Perhaps occasionally someone would come and discover it, then run away screaming.

As an evil spirit, it also wants to kill a few people to release the malice and resentment in its heart.

But it is not capable enough.

Because it was pinned down and unable to move, it hadn't killed a single person in such a long time.

The evil spirit is a complete failure after achieving this.

It knew it itself, so it was very inferior. But today, it received treatment it had never received before. Someone rescued it and did not look down on it. Instead, they shook hands with it, chatted with it, and read it stories from books.

The evil spirit had long wanted to see what was written in the books here, but never had the chance.

Today, it got its wish.

Lin Mo had no idea of ​​what was going on in the evil spirit’s mind; he just watched and read.

This is also intentional.

The shadow must be watching him in the dark, waiting for the right moment to strike.

If the shadow sees itself reading this novel, and the novel contains all the information about it, including its weaknesses, how could the shadow remain indifferent?

Anyway, if Lin Mo was the shadow, he would definitely not be able to control himself and would definitely take action.

The other party took action and took it down directly.

Lin Mo has this confidence.

If the other party continues to be timid, Lin Mo can only read the entire novel, find out Shadow's weaknesses, and then plan the next step.

In short, no matter which choice you make, Lin Mo has a way.

Focus on the novel.

This book "Shadow" is quite well written, and the horror atmosphere is created very well. The sense of horror created by the layers of psychological suggestion is very advanced.

Of course, in Lin Mo's view, this thing is just a children's book and there is nothing scary about it.

But for others, especially the female students here, it should be enough to scare them awake and create terrible shadows in their hearts.

The novel tells the story of a demon disguised as a shadow haunting an ordinary family. It contains ghosts, religion and exorcism. Especially the description of the "shadow", it can be called a nightmare for mortals.

Anyone who is possessed by it will gradually be driven mad by the shadow, which can transform into the appearance of the tortured person and then turn the victim into a shadow.

That's about it.

Of course, Lin Mo hasn't read some details yet. After all, it's a novel and it's not something that can be read word for word all at once.

At this moment, Lin Mo sensed something and the corners of his mouth curled up.

At the same time, on the ceiling above Lin Mo's head, Xiaoyu, that is, a shadow, emerged from a mass of black and attacked Lin Mo upside down.

It's very fast.

But Lin Mo is faster.

The Gourmet Curse greatly improves Lin Mo's reaction, speed and strength.

When Shadow faced Lin Mo at this moment, he was suppressed instantly just like when Lin Mo first met Sophia.

Grab the opponent, throw him to the back first, then hold him down and insert the suppressor into his body.

All done! The suppressor has been adjusted to the highest gear, and with Lin Mo's suppression, no matter what ability this shadow has, it can't escape now.

This is indeed the case.

It was also because Lin Mo was fast and used the suppressor in time that half of the shadow's body was integrated into the surrounding black shadows, but because of the suppressor and being held by Lin Mo, the other half could not go in.

Struggling desperately.

Suddenly a cold wind blew.

More than half of the candles around were extinguished.

Lin Mo knew that the other party wanted to use the dark shadow to escape.

This certainly won't let the other side succeed.

With flames coming out of his hands, Lin Mo said, "Come on, try to put one out for me again."

When Shadow saw this, his ferocious expression immediately softened. Now he looked pitiful, like a little girl who was being bullied.

Especially now it looks exactly like Xiaoyu, and in fact, it is Xiaoyu's body, which causes Lin Mo to lose consciousness for a moment.

But this method could not tempt Lin Mo.

He grabbed the shadow. At this time, Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun heard the noise and rushed over. They dragged each other towards Xiaoyu who was in the shadow state.

Xiaoyu said that as long as there is contact, maybe it can be changed back.

For this purpose, Lin Mo turned to the back of the novel, did a quick search, and finally found a few words about this.

There is indeed a similar statement near the end of the novel.

The priest inside was replaced by a shadow in a surprise attack. This is what he wrote in the warning he gave to the world. As long as he comes into contact with the shadow again, this replacement can be broken.

After pulling the shadow over and reconnecting with Xiaoyu, all the light around them disappeared and they were instantly plunged into darkness.

Lin Mo discovered that even the flame on his hand was swallowed up.

But it lasted less than two seconds before the light reappeared.

Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun looked at the figure in the darkness ahead curiously. Lin Mo also looked expectant. After all the darkness faded away, Xiaoyu came over.

Then he skillfully got into Lin Mo's clothes.

Xiaoyu can't speak, and doesn't need to speak.

One action made Lin Mo realize that she was back.

It's the real her.

Even if that shadow had all of Xiaoyu's memories, he couldn't do it so skillfully. Only the real Xiaoyu could do that.

That's settled.

The shadow wanted to replace Xiaoyu, but was eventually swallowed by Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu's strength also received an epic improvement, which Lin Mo could feel.

Although this trip had some twists and turns, but in the end, when I did the math, I still made a profit.

Lin Mo asked Xiaoyu if there were any strange things hidden in the Leiden College. Xiaoyu stretched out her hand from her clothes and handed over a note.

It says: Yes.

Lin Mo continued to ask, knowing that there was another dean at Leiden College.

This dean is extremely powerful, but he rarely appears. There is no hatred between them, so we can ignore it. After all, you take the aisle and I take the bridge, and we don't interfere with each other.

Lin Mo asked Xiaoyu again how she got here.

Xiaoyu continued to pass notes.

She said she had forgotten and remembered nothing after hearing the bell, and when she came to, she had already arrived at Leiden College.

She then discovered the library and met Shadow inside.

Apparently there are more secrets at Leiden College.

But Lin Mo had no desire to explore.

Previously, a student had his papers torn up in class because he did not get full marks on a quiz. Lin Mo still remembers that scene vividly.

It's very dangerous here, and even if we continue exploring, we may not get any benefits.

It’s better to leave.

Xiaoyu also agreed.

At this time, Lin Mo remembered the evil spirit in the library, so he went over and asked it if it wanted to take him out.

The evil spirit thought about it carefully, shook his head and said no.

It said that it had become accustomed to staying in this place and was afraid that it would not be able to adapt if it went out.

Lin Mo didn't force it.

People have their own thoughts, and ghosts have their own ambitions.

When a baby has stayed in one place since birth, it is not easy to get it to take this brave step.

But the library door was not locked.

If the evil spirit thinks things through or changes its mind one day, it can leave on its own.

Walking back along the original route, we encountered some strange things on the way, such as teachers from the academy and some scary students, but none of them stopped us.

At most, I would just take a look and then avoid it.

Now, compared to when they first entered the third level of the dream, Lin Mo and the others have been transformed, and each of them has been improved.

It can be said that I can walk freely in the third level of dreams, and even if I encounter some weirdness here, I can deal with it easily. Although I am not as reckless and reckless as in the first level of dreams, it is not much different.

Finding Xiaoyu is already the most important goal achieved.

Originally they came to the third level of dreams to deal with spiders.

But the spider sought death by itself and entered the third level of dreamland, where he was eventually defeated by Lin Mo and trapped in the realm, unable to come out again.

This was the ultimate goal and it was achieved ahead of schedule.

Lin Mo knew that there was no need for him to stay in the third level of the dream.

However, because he had promised Father Phil and there were several unfinished experiments in the laboratory, Lin Mo couldn't just walk away.

He is a very principled person. Once he has promised someone, he must do it.

But life from now on will be much easier.

No one expected that Lin Mo would spend the next few days in the third level of dreamland quite leisurely and comfortable. Apart from ringing the bell, he spent most of his time in the laboratory.

That day he was discussing some academic issues with Professor Green and Professor Wolf, when suddenly he heard the bell ringing.
