"How do you feel?" After coming in, the mother sat directly on the sofa, then patted the seat next to her, motioning Lin Mo to sit over there as well.
Lin Mo didn't sit over there.
He was not that stupid. He couldn't get too close without fully understanding the situation. Otherwise, if the other party suddenly attacked, Lin Mo was afraid that he would not be able to react in time.
So Lin Mo sat next to a TV with a cracked screen.
These televisions can not only be used as footstools, but also as benches.
The mother over there didn't seem to care. She crossed her legs elegantly. Without her apron, she didn't look like a mother, just like Lin Mo was not the real Romi.
"I feel much better, but I still can't eat." Lin Mo's stomach made a rumbling sound at this time.
This is hungry.
But one of Lin Mo's specialties is that he can tell lies with open eyes.
"Then mom will give you a different flavor next time. Remember, eat more next time."
Mom also pretended not to hear.
Change of taste? Forget it.
Even if it was changed ten times, Lin Mo didn't have any expectations at all.
"Your sister said you've grown taller." Mom blurted out.
Lin Mo didn't know what the other person meant, so he also said that he ate a lot and slept well on weekdays, so it was normal for him to grow taller.
Then start chatting.
The other party behaved like a real mother, caring for her son meticulously.
Lin Mo dealt with it seriously.
"Oh, by the way, in about two hours it will be our family's entertainment time, don't forget to join in." When mom was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and reminded me.
Fun time?
Lin Mo really didn't know.
"Mom, what are we going to play this time?"
Lin Mo still planned to ask. Since it was entertainment time, people would definitely play and relax, so it would not hurt to learn more about it first.
Mom chuckled: "Don't we play the same game every time? Did you forget to vote and catch a ghost? There is a ghost hiding in our house, attached to a family member. All we have to do is find it."
Lin Mo was stunned.
Fortunately, he was wearing a paper bag, so no one could see his expression.
"Okay, Mom is going to watch TV for a while. See you later." Mom had already walked to the door at this time, and Lin Mo hurried to see her off.
Outside the door, my mother seemed to remember something, turned her head and whispered, "Your father's reaction has been a bit abnormal recently. Why don't you vote for him? Maybe this time we can all be free."
After saying that, my mother turned and left.
Lin Mo returned to the room and began to ponder.
What does she mean? This is clearly a deliberate hint to me.
She knew she was a fake, but like other family members, she did not expose herself and even took the initiative to remind others, which seemed to be full of good intentions.
But her last sentence was meaningful.
Lin Mo pondered for a while and thought to himself, "She is here to form an alliance."
Thinking carefully back to the previous conversation, the other party basically wanted to express three things. The first thing was that I knew you were not the real Romi; the second thing was to tell you the most important rule of the game here, a family game, voting for a family member who might be possessed by a ghost; the third thing was to ask yourself to vote for 'Dad'.
"Maybe everyone can be liberated this time...liberated, why use this word?" Lin Mo murmured to himself. There was a sense of helplessness and a hint of longing in his tone. Lin Mo stood there for a long time, thinking about this matter carefully.
Obviously what 'Mom' said was not groundless.
She has a strong purpose.
The point is, she wanted to be able to vote for the grumpy dad in that game session as a family member.
Apparently Mom thinks Dad is the 'ghost'.
So she used the word 'maybe'.
The liberation she was talking about was breaking out of the cycle of countless deaths.
The reason why Lin Mo came up with the concept of "death loop" was because he combined it with the line of words previously engraved under the handrail.
The words read: We must find it, otherwise we will keep dying.
Now Lin Mo knows that 'it' refers to 'ghosts', and continuous death means dying again and again. Combining this with the meaning, it is not difficult to understand what his mother meant by 'liberation'.
To break out of the death cycle means to be liberated.
Although these were all Lin Mo's guesses, he felt that they were pretty close to the truth.
Lin Mo immediately summarized and refined the new clues he had obtained, and then added some conclusions based on his previous speculations.
This family should all know that they are acting with each other. The paper bags on their heads represent the roles they play, and in the process, they must always maintain the personality and reaction that the role should have.
They have only one goal, to find a "ghost" among this family of four.
As for what exactly this ghost is, Lin Mo doesn't know.
If they are found, that is, through family voting, the vicious cycle will be broken, otherwise, it will continue to cycle.
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly looked up and looked at the many broken televisions in the room.
He remembered that Romi was hit to death by his 'Dad' after he snatched the paper bag from him.
At the moment of death, Romi turned into a broken TV.
At first Lin Mo didn’t understand what was going on, but now, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that all the broken TVs in this house were once people? To be more specific, these broken TVs were the family of four who had failed to vote and find the "ghost".
This idea is very bold.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the more you think about it, the more possible it seems.
When Lin Mo saw the house filled with countless broken televisions, he knew how many times this family had died.
Quite desperate.
"Hey, that's not right." Lin Mo suddenly thought of a big bug in this inference.
That is, he did not take into account the factor of 'every failure makes you wiser'.
There are only four people in total. If you really can't rely on some clues to accurately determine who it is, then you can use a stupid method, which is to choose them one by one, using the process of elimination. If you die at most three times, you can find the real "ghost".
It's impossible to die so many times.
"Unless, they are all fools!" Lin Mo muttered at this time.
Fool?
Definitely not.
Among the few family members that Lin Mo has come into contact with, none of them are fools.
My father may seem rude and violent, but he is actually brave and careful; there is no need to mention my mother, she is definitely the wisest person in the family; and although my sister is a little straightforward and impulsive, she is not a fool who doesn't know how to think.
It is impossible that the three of them don't know the process of elimination.
As for Romi, the previous one whose identity as the paper bag was taken away by me, there was indeed something wrong with his mind.
Although in theory, this former Romi will be used by the real 'ghost' to cast an interference vote, then the 'ghost' among the other three people will also vote for the same person, then no matter how the other two people vote, the best result will be a tie of 2 to 2.
But in practice, the success rate of doing so is not very high.
If the previous Romi happened to vote for the 'ghost', then the 'ghost' might be identified.
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about this problem carefully, he heard the door creak.
It seems like something came in.
One chapter in the early morning, continue to ask for monthly votes, this month has exceeded 3,000, come on and update more next month! (End of this chapter)
