This place looks like a residential house with only a few pieces of furniture left. There are three rooms on the second floor and two rooms on the first floor. However, most of the rooms are empty. Only the room with paintings has a sofa and a mirror.
Here comes the problem.
If there is furniture in other rooms, that's fine, but if the other rooms are empty and only this room has furniture, that's obviously abnormal.
These things were left behind intentionally.
Lin Mo began to check the sofa.
If you can't tell anything from the outside, take it apart and see what's inside.
Although the sofa was very comfortable to sit on, Lin Mo still cruelly dismembered it, and then found that there was indeed something hidden inside.
“I’ll go!”
Even Lin Mo was stunned when he saw what was inside the sofa.
There was actually a dead body curled up inside.
Why was he sure it was a corpse? It was because Lin Mo had seen too many corpses. People who died in the real world were actually still alive in the nightmare world.
Only those who died in the nightmare world can be called "corpses" by Lin Mo.
There was not a trace of life in the body, only death.
You can smell this thing when you get close to it.
The reason why Lin Mo didn't smell it before was because there was a talisman stuck on the corpse.
The talisman sealed off the deathly aura.
Peeling off the talisman was like opening a can of herrings; the smell came up immediately.
Although it was a corpse, it was not rotten at all. It could even be said that the skin was as white as jade, as if it was alive. Lin Mo touched it and found that the skin was soft and the tendons were soft. How could it be a corpse? "This is weird. Why did he hide a corpse here? Whose corpse is this?"
Lin Mo identified it carefully.
Don’t know.
This is an ordinary young man, probably about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Nothing special about it.
If I have to say something, it is that the corpse is very clean.
Although the air was filled with the smell of death, there was no dirt on the body. Lin Mo had seen many corpses, but it was rare to see one as clean as one that had just had its back scrubbed and taken a bath.
The body was naked, with no writing or tattoos on it.
There is an evil nature.
Lin Mo stared at the corpse and took out a corpse-suppressing talisman and stuck it on.
No matter what it is, stay calm first so you can be prepared.
Maybe this is what my brother meant.
After all, the brother knows that he has been in Uncle Jiu's movie world for five years. Apart from anything else, his ability to subdue and control corpses is definitely the best in the world and no one can match him.
Keep looking to see if there are any other clues.
There was no clue on the only table.
Even if it is torn to pieces, it is still a table.
All that was left was the painting and the mirror.
Lin Mo asked Xi Wenjun if there was anything special about this mirror. Xi Wenjun shook her head and said no.
It means this is just an ordinary mirror.
Lin Mo believes in Xi Wenjun's understanding of mirrors. If there is anyone who knows the mirror world best, it must be Xi Wenjun.
Next, examine that painting.
Again, nothing was found.
There seemed to be nothing but a dead body hidden in the sofa.
If all this was done by my brother, what does the other party mean? "My brother, if there is anything, he must have told me directly. If he didn't say it, there must be a reason for him. He must be worried about something."
Lin Mo could only guess at this time.
There is no way. There are only these clues and information. Lin Mo can only speculate based on these.
Since it is just speculation, it may be right or wrong, and can only be used as a reference temporarily.
It was obvious that the older brother wanted to convey some information to him, but for some reason, he couldn't say it directly, so he felt very awkward.
Most people would give up at this point.
After all, nothing was found and there were very few clues.
But Lin Mo did not give up.
At least one thing is certain now, it was my brother who borrowed my body. Not to mention the assassination of Lao Zhao, if it was my brother who did it, the other party would definitely leave a letter for me.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo remembered an incident from the past.
When he was a child, he and his brother often played hide-and-seek.
Of course, the hide-and-seek they play is different from that played by normal people, because they are all in the same body, so they are not hiding people, but hiding things.
The bodies are like controllable game characters, each of them will hide something in the room, and the other one will be hidden deep in the body.
After hiding it, let another person control the body to find it.
This little game accompanied Lin Mo and Lin Yuan through a happy youth.
Because they have played together so many times, they are familiar with each other's ways.
For example, Lin Mo liked to hide things in the gap between the sofas at home, while his brother liked to hide things in the mirror.
Lin Mo was stunned, then he understood.
He immediately stood up and walked to the mirror, observed it first, and then poked it with the handle of the knife.
With a click.
The mirror shattered.
The fragments were scattered all over the ground.
Then Lin Mo found a letter on the back of the mirror.
There were only a few words on it, and Lin Mo read it all at a glance.
But after reading it, Lin Mo felt that the questions he wanted to know were still not answered.
There was only one line of words on the letter.
"Bring him to Dakunshan."
Lin Mo knew that there was Da Kunshan in Blue Bird Province. Obviously, his brother left the passage painting here for this purpose.
There are only these six words in the letter.
There was no more words, and the result was that Lin Mo's previous questions were not answered, and now there was another one.
Why go to Dakun Mountain? Lin Mo knew about this Dakun Mountain, which was very famous. In ancient times, it was called the Fairy Mountain and the Divine Mountain. Many mythological stories were related to this Dakun Mountain.
There is a mysterious color in it.
Take him to Dakunshan. Who is the 'he' here referring to?
Lin Mo knew that the letter was for him, so this "he", at the moment, could only be the person on the sofa.
Look at the body over there.
Lin Mo thought about it, holding a talisman in his hand, and said, "Raise the corpse!"
In an instant, the corpse lying on the ground stood up straight up, like a tumbler.
The corpse talisman pasted on the other person's forehead can suppress and control corpses. This is not a difficult task for Lin Mo at all.
Xi Wenjun took a look at the corpse, then picked up a broken lens from the ground, walked over and handed it to Lin Mo, then disappeared.
She entered the mirror world.
And as long as Lin Mo has the mirror fragment, she can come out anytime when needed.
Lin Mo walked forward and the corpse followed behind him.
He plans to go to Dakunshan.
The brother's message was 'bring him to Da Kun Shan', not 'go' to Da Kun Shan.
The meanings of 'come' and 'go' are not the same.
Most of the time, the word "come" is used when the person speaking is at the destination, but "go" does not necessarily mean that the person is there, so Lin Mo assumed that his brother was also in Dakunshan.
So he had to make this trip no matter what.
As for those questions, just find your brother and let him answer them in person.
As he walked, Lin Mo took out his communicator and called Professor Xie again.
The call was connected quickly.
"Lin Mo, where are you now?" asked Old Xie.
Lin Mo told Professor Xie that he couldn’t tell him where it was.
"Old Xie, if you believe me, please give me some time and I will find out everything. I also want to trouble you with something."
"You say!" Old Xie's voice sounded somewhat helpless, as if he knew that Lin Mo would not tell him the location.
"The murders of Lao Zhao and Deputy Director Jiang must be something serious. Please help me find out what they were doing before they were murdered."
"What can I do? It's just some daily work."
"Check it first."
"I understand." Professor Xie was not stupid. He understood what Lin Mo meant. No matter who it was, if Lin Mo killed someone in his manner, it must not be because he had nothing to do. He must have a purpose.
In short, I won't kill people for no reason.
Especially someone like Lao Zhao who is in a high position of power.
What level is the other party? It must be a senior official at the national level. No matter who it is, there must be a reason for doing this.
"Lin Mo, you've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time. If I help you and this gets discovered, I'll be in trouble too."
"Old Xie, I can't let Old Zhao and Deputy Director Jiang die in vain. Besides, this also has something to do with my innocence."
"Okay, I understand. Don't use your communicator anymore. It will probably be monitored soon. Try another method."
"I will write to you."
"OK!"
Lin Mo hung up the communicator and then squeezed it hard.
With a snap, the communicator was crushed to pieces. Then he folded a paper crane, wrote Professor Xie's full name on it, blew on it, and the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away.
This way, if Professor Xie has any questions, he can just reply with a paper crane.
Lin Mo has never been to Dakunshan.
After searching in Keke County, I finally found a map. Comparing it with my current location, I discovered that it was less than 50 kilometers away from Dakunshan.
It’s quite close.
But it was difficult to walk over there. Lin Mo remembered that he seemed to have seen a car parked on the side of the road just now.
Try to see if it can be opened.
The cars in the nightmare world are projections of the real world, some can be driven and some cannot.
It all depends on luck.
Lin Mo was lucky this time and the car could be driven.
The keys were actually in the car.
Was it just luck, or did the guy leave the car on purpose? No one can say for sure.
Lin Mo didn't care about the details, but having a car would obviously be a lot more convenient. He just got the body up and drove away.
The small van lurched onto the road and drove away along the dark and eerie highway.
The road and the surrounding dark environment have blended perfectly together, especially in this wild environment, the van is like a small boat floating on the dark sea.
It seemed as if it would be swallowed up by the endless darkness around it at any time.
Except for the area illuminated by the dim car lights, there was only darkness and the whistling wind around.
After leaving the county town, the road basically goes straight forward.
This is consistent with the geographical characteristics of Bluebird Province, which is vast and sparsely populated. However, it is easy to get bored and sleepy when driving on such a straight road.
Although Lin Mo was not sleepy, he was definitely bored.
So he adjusted himself to a comfortable posture, holding the steering wheel with one hand and his chin with the other hand, thinking while driving.
The road is long.
Lin Mo’s thoughts were also long.
The corpse was now sitting obediently in the back row, with a talisman stuck on its forehead, not moving at all.
"What's there in Dakunshan? Why did you ask me to take this body there? Where did this body come from?"
Lin Mo has too many questions now.
"Did I really kill Lao Zhao and Deputy Director Jiang? If so, why did I do that?"
If you have a lot of questions and can't figure them out, it will be very annoying.
Now Lin Mo feels very upset.
Because maybe that letter was a trap.
Of course, the only thing that can make Lin Mo feel relieved is that no matter whether it is a trap or not, Lin Mo is confident that he can deal with it. This confidence comes from his experience in the third level of dreams.
It comes from the completed and strengthened curse sequence, from the five years of life in the movie world, and from Xiaoyu, Sister Yue and Xi Wenjun, who have also been strengthened.
Anyway, he has been reborn. No matter what enemies there are, no matter what tricks they play, Lin Mo is confident that he can crush them.
Of course, the prerequisite is to find the person first.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Mo suddenly saw a person standing on the road ahead and waving.
But it was too late to stop the car.
Or you should not be distracted while driving, because if you are distracted, you will easily be unable to react in an emergency.
This is what Lin Mo is like now.
He tried to step on the brakes in a panic, but the front of the car had already hit the other car.
There was a loud noise and the car shook.
It was at this time that Lin Mo stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped with a sharp brake sound.
Looking at the cracked windshield and the blood and hair smeared on it, Lin Mo opened the door and got out of the car.
There was a person lying on the road ahead.
"Are you kidding me? Where did this place come from?"
Lin Mo cursed and then walked towards the man lying in front of him.
