Lin Mo didn't even have lunch and locked himself in the room the whole day.

He moved the broken televisions that were randomly piled up in the room one by one. His hard work was not in vain. The room, which was previously as messy as a garbage dump and could only accommodate one or two people, was now relatively tidy.

Lin Mo neatly piled up those televisions in an area of ​​the house, layer upon layer, like a wall. Lin Mo even counted them and found that there were a total of 389 damaged televisions.

This was much less than he expected.

He initially thought there would be thousands of TVs, and perhaps because of the previous disorganized stacking, it looked like there were many more than there actually were.

Another reason is that some TVs have been broken into pieces, which can give people the illusion that they are different TVs.

In fact, if you piece the pieces together patiently, you will find that the actual number is not that large.

Lin Mo cleaned the house not because he had nothing to do, but because he had two purposes.

One is to count the number of televisions representing the "number of deaths", so as to infer the number of deaths in this family; the other is that Lin Mo wants to see if there are other hidden things in this room, and some clues may be hidden in the messy pile of televisions.

First let's see if there are any other clues hidden in this room.

Lin Mo was disappointed by this.

He did not find any valuable clues. There was no bed in the room, not even a cabinet. Apart from a sofa for sitting or lying down, there was a TV that was only about ten inches in size and still worked normally.

The rest is a broken TV.

Nothing else.

This further highlights the unusualness of this room.

And Lin Mo still made a discovery.

There are very important clues hidden in those broken TVs.

These TVs are all the same model and have different degrees of damage, but if you look closely, you can find some data parameters on the back of the TV casing.

Everything else is similar, except for the numbering.

It is difficult for ordinary people to find out what special information is hidden in these numbers. Lin Mo stared at them for a long time and studied them for a long time before he discovered the secret.

The number is seventeen digits and consists of letters and numbers.

The letters are exactly the same, but the numbers are different, which seems normal, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is not right, because these TVs are not products produced in factories after all, but items born in this special nightmare world.

Could it be that the televisions created in this nightmare world will also follow certain rules and automatically generate product numbers?

Lin Mo specifically analyzed the seventeen-digit numbers one by one.

Apart from the first three identical letters, the last four digits are numbers that increase in sequence, and the eight digits in the middle, it can be seen that they should represent time.

Some of these times are the same, and some are different. Lin Mo has specially classified them and can break them down into hundreds of different time periods.

What does this time period represent? Lin Mo made a bold guess and carefully verified it.

In the end, Lin Mo thought that this was the time of 'death'.

If you think about it carefully, this makes perfect sense, because here, a TV will only appear in this room after a person dies.

So it can also be regarded as the birth time of television.

Lin Mo immediately classified these times again, and the final result was that if the time was the same, there were at most four; then it could be easily understood that this was the TV set produced when the four family members died after each family vote and no real "ghost" was found.

When he discovered this, Lin Mo was very confused.

Because just now, he was still wondering, if one of the four family members is a 'ghost', will the 'ghost' also follow the rules of the game and die once?

At first Lin Mo understood that the 'ghost' would not really die, but now it seems that after the vote fails, all four family members will die.

Because many four TV sets with the same time number were generated in the same time period.

These are the irrefutable proofs of the simultaneous death of four family members.

Lin Mo thought to himself that the "ghost" either didn't exist at all, or was a ruthless ghost. In order not to reveal any flaws, he was even willing to die with the others.

But if we continue to analyze the death incident, Lin Mo sees something else.

There are many independent worlds on television.

Lin Mo guessed that this was probably caused by a family member violating a taboo and dying alone, because he was the only one who died during that period of time.

Just like when Lin Mo tried to take off his sister's paper bag.

This violated the taboo, so Lin Mo turned into a TV.

Lin Mo understood this.

But Lin Mo also found some broken TV sets that came in batches of three.

It indicates that three family members died during this time.

That's strange.

If four times occur in one period, it means the voting has failed and the whole army has been wiped out; if there is only one time period, it means a taboo has been violated and the person will die alone.

What about the three of them? Three family members breaking the taboo at the same time?

After thinking about it, this possibility was very small, and Lin Mo thought of a possibility at this time.

He immediately rearranged the TVs according to time.

"If only three family members died and one survived a vote, this effect would occur. The one who survived should be the 'ghost', but why can't this ghost be spared every time? If it can avoid death, why does it still die?"

"Died a few times, lived once, died a few times, lived once. If this ghost is not sick, then there is only one explanation..."

Lin Mo sorted the cases of four deaths at the same time and only three deaths in chronological order, and he found that every six times all were wiped out, there would be a survivor.

The only explanation is that the 'ghost' showed up that time, so the ghost could escape the subsequent death punishment.

Among the rest of the families who voted, there was no 'ghost' at all, so the whole family of four was wiped out.

"Could it be that there is a fifth person in this room?"

Lin Mo thought about it and shook his head.

impossible.

Only those wearing paper bags are family members, and only family members can vote. Non-family members, if discovered, will be killed by 'Dad'.

Of course, if 'Mom' finds out, she will probably do something too.

It's impossible for other people to hide in this room. I've searched it before and there's indeed no one there.

"Unless the 'ghost' is hiding in the body of a family member, and this 'ghost' does not appear every time, only when it appears can it save the family member from death."

Lin Mo finally came to this conclusion.

It's multiple personalities! Lin Mo suddenly had an idea at this moment.

If it is multiple personalities, it can perfectly answer all the current problems, because the "ghost" personality does not appear every time, so the four family members are actually innocent and will enter a death cycle.

Only when the 'ghost' personality appears can one avoid entering the death loop.

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

This is too difficult. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult to find the "ghost" hidden among the four family members, not to mention that every death will erase the memory of the voting process.

Lin Mo did remember a clue.

When he was looking through his father's clothes, he found a medical record that read 'Jesse Robinson, Reef Asylum, Patient No. 13, violent, cruel, multiple personality...'

My father has multiple personality disorder.

Could it really be him? Lin Mo planned to find out.

At this time, my mother had already started cooking. According to the previous schedule, the voting activity would take place two hours after dinner.

After the vote, the cycle begins again.

So Lin Mo doesn't have much time left.

He had too many things to do. If he was really sure it was his father, he would need to calculate when the other person's 'ghost' personality would appear.

If it appears, you must join forces with your mother and sister to catch your father's "ghost" personality during the vote.

Lin Mo immediately pushed the door and walked out.

It was still the same dining table, the same dim lighting, and a table full of disgusting 'delicious food'.

But this time, Lin Mo's attention was not on the disgusting food on the table, but on his father. Lin Mo needed to find out whether the ghost personality of the other party had appeared.

Lin Mo soon thought of a solution.

When he used a fork to pick up a rotten sausage, he deliberately slipped his hand, and the smelly sausage flew up and landed on his father's chest with a plop, and his clothes were immediately stained with oil.

"Dad, I'm sorry, my hand really slipped!"

Lin Mo immediately walked over to help the other person wipe it.

Mom and sister were obviously stunned by this sudden change, and Dad was also on the verge of exploding. In anger, he once again squeezed the knife and fork in his hand until it was deformed.

Lin Mo, however, acted as if he didn't see it and wiped it with a tissue.

So what if you are angry? You cannot attack your family, it is a taboo. If the other person is a "ghost" personality, he will not be impulsive.

So Lin Mo was not afraid at all.

What's more, he doesn't know what fear is at all.

At a close distance, Lin Mo looked carefully at the paper bag on his father's head.

Sure enough, there was something written on it in small characters.

With names, personality traits and specialties.

But at the first sight, Lin Mo was stunned.

"Jon..."

This is the name on the paper bag.

Not 'Jesse Robinson'.

How could this happen? Many thoughts flashed through Lin Mo's mind. At this time, his father waved his hand and drove Lin Mo away: "I can wipe it myself."

Lin Mo sat back in his chair with a confused mind.

It was only then that he realized that his father's name was Jon, not Jesse Robinson.

So, who is this Jesse Robinson?

Could it be my mother, or my sister? No, my sister's name is Carol.

Lin Mo had seen it before.

What about mom?

Lin Mo found an opportunity to look at the paper bag on his mother's head.

The mother's name is Kathy! And Lin Mo's paper bag says 'Romi'.

That is, among their family of four, no one is called 'Jesse Robinson'.

This confused Lin Mo.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo suddenly realized something and slapped the table hard.

Dad, Mom and sister were all shocked.

At this moment, they all looked up at Lin Mo, and the expressions drawn on the paper bags also showed confusion and doubt.

"Fuck, I get it." Lin Mo ignored the other three people.

He realized something very important.

Lin Mo found himself in a pit.

He was caught in a unique consciousness trap.

What he was concerned about, under the unconscious guidance of several family members, fell into a vicious circle, that is, to find the "ghost" hidden among his family members.

But is this matter really that important? If we find the ghost, we can be free. These are the clues provided by several family members.

Lin Mo had no doubts before.

But in fact, if you doubt it, you will think of another thing: what if all this is fake?

What if that 'ghost' doesn't exist at all?

Then the result is being trapped here and going through an endless cycle of reincarnation.

It's like playing mahjong. You think you can win a hand, but you don't realize that the three opponents are actually in the same group. With the cooperation of each other, even the God of Gamblers can't win.

The moment Lin Mo realized this, he immediately jumped up and took off the paper bag on his head.

This thing is not a talisman, but a kind of shackles that bind people here.

If you attack the opponent while wearing this thing, you will be attacked back immediately.

So I can't wear it.

The biggest lie here is the 'paper bag', because from the very beginning, the other party used the sense of oppression and the wonderful performance of the previous Romi to make people mistakenly believe that wearing a paper bag is safe.

The moment he put on the paper bag, he jumped into the trap set by the other party. Afterwards, his father killed Romi who lost the paper bag and spared him who was wearing the paper bag, which further confirmed his self-righteous guess that "paper bags are safe props."

Lin Mo had some doubts before.

After all, if the other party really has the ability to make people die and resurrect infinitely, then this kind of power is comparable to that of a god.

Is this possible?

Lin Mo thought it was impossible.

So Lin Mo had suspected before that this was an illusion similar to a ghost covering his eyes.

This thought reached its peak when he discovered that among the four family members, there was no one named 'Jesse Robinson'.

No matter what, he would try.

If we continue to follow the so-called rules here, we will only get deeper and deeper into trouble.

One more thing.

Except for Dad, it seemed that no one in this room had ever left through the front door.

What was outside the gate? Lin Mo jumped up and rushed towards the gate.

Mom didn't move, she seemed not to want to interfere; Dad was the strongest, but he reacted a little too slowly, and couldn't catch up even if he wanted to; Sister was the fastest, and in just a breath she rushed in front of Lin Mo, blocking the road.

"The ghost is outside. If you want to get free, don't stop me." Lin Mo roared.

He knew that his sister had an absolute advantage in speed, and it would be a real problem if the other party tried to stop him, so he said this.

Lin Mo could only assume that his sister, mother, and even father were actually the ones caught up in this weird trap, because none of them were 'Jesse Robinson'.

Perhaps, this person is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Of course, Lin Mo was also prepared. The mace in his hand was not to be trifled with. If his sister really tried to stop him, he would be ruthless.

As a result, the younger sister turned sideways and let Lin Mo run over.

The next moment, Lin Mo pushed open the door and ran out of the room.

In the living room, my sister sat back down without saying a word.

Next to her, the mother also loosened her grip on the father's hand. The father didn't chase after her just now because the mother was holding him back.

“Let’s eat!”

Mom served Dad a bowl of soup.

"Perhaps, this is the last meal we eat together."
