He patted the cardboard box gently, meaning to tell it that the other party had reached in and it should quickly find a way to escape.

Perhaps inspired by Lin Mo, the cardboard box began to shake and made a wheezing sound. Just when the hand was about to grab Lin Mo, the cardboard box suddenly broke free from the external restraints and moved again.

This time, the footsteps outside could not be heard.

Safe for now.

Lin Mo crawled out of the cardboard box.

Every time I move, I feel a sense of weightlessness. Not to mention, this feeling is much more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

Just a little dizzy...

At this moment, the cardboard box is in a dressing room. It should have been moved directly in. The dressing room is not big, but the door is closed. Perhaps because the location it was moved to is a bit far away and passed through the wall, it was not discovered by the footsteps outside.

"here you go."

Lin Mo patted the cardboard box gently.

After walking to the door and making sure it was locked, Lin Mo began to think about his current situation.

It's true that the situation is not good.

What exactly happened and whether those footsteps were replicas of the missing persons that he speculated about still needs to be verified.

But verification represents risk.

Lin Mo can release the shadow, but the shadow cannot help him distinguish the real from the fake.

Moreover, Lin Mo had a feeling that even if he released all the shadows, they would probably never come back.

Just looking at the two copies of Shen He and Xiao He, the other party even copied their abilities. If these two wanted to kill their shadows, it would not be difficult.

At this moment, Lin Mo heard the noise outside again.

There are footsteps.

The footsteps were moving, as if the person who made the sound was wandering around aimlessly.

Lin Mo listened and confirmed that there was only one person outside.

He then did something very risky.

He quietly opened the door a crack, took a look, then rushed out, covered the man's mouth and strangled him, then dragged him into the locker room.

The other party was struggling frantically.

This is understandable.

Lin Mo also used all his strength, but he was not paying attention and there was a loud cracking sound.

He strangled the person's neck.

"Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't control my strength just now." Lin Mo didn't expect the accident to happen and was stunned. He quickly let go of his hand, and the other party fell down like soft boiled noodles.

Not moving.

Dead!

After a closer look, I saw that the other person was wearing the work clothes of the 4th Base, with a painful expression on his face and his head tilted to one side.

"Is he really dead?" Lin Mo stretched out his hand and slapped the other person's face a few times, making a popping sound.

The other party still didn't react at all.

Lin Mo never doubted whether he had made a mistake and accidentally killed a real survivor, because he no longer judged the authenticity of the other person based on appearance.

But from the fluctuation of mental power.

Under normal circumstances, everyone's mental strength is different.

There are no two mental fluctuations that are exactly the same.

But in this place, the mental fluctuations of the three copies of Shen He, Xiao He and Jun Hun that Lin Mo had seen before were exactly the same, and this mental power was very strange and weird, so Lin Mo was able to judge at the first time that the three of them had been "replaced".

The same goes for the staff member who was killed.

The mental fluctuations are exactly the same as the previous three replicas.

So when the other party was struggling like crazy, Lin Mo took ruthless action.

After death, the strange mental fluctuations disappeared.

And then, Lin Mo discovered that the corpse was decaying at a very fast speed, and the way it decayed was very different. It was like a candle slowly melting and merging with the ground.

This scene is shocking and gives people a fear that goes deep into their bones.

Lin Mo didn't notice it. He looked at the ground which had turned into a human-shaped mark. He could even see the facial features, so he reached out and touched it.

The ground didn't feel cold and hard, but had a strange warmth and the feel of human skin.

There is no doubt that what Lin Mo just killed was a replica.

The previous guess should be correct. There is a strange power in this strange place that will copy everyone who enters here.

The purpose is still unknown.

In addition, everyone was isolated because Lin Mo did not see the real Shen He and Xiao He.

Nine times out of ten, other people are in the same situation as you are.

According to this logic, everyone has a "copy" that is completely his own, a separate, isolated space.

So how big is this place?

Lin Mo knew that he couldn't stay here forever. There must be experts with extremely keen perception and sense of smell in the elite team. If the replica can copy the opponent's abilities, then it is only a matter of time before they find him.

We have to leave quickly.

Lin Mo opened the door and slipped out after making sure there was no one outside.

He first found a fire evacuation map on the wall, determined his current location, and then walked towards the laboratory on the 7th underground floor.

Since we can’t leave now and have lost our companions, we should continue according to the plan.

Lin Mo's greatest reliance now is his sensitivity to mental power.

This is an ability that Lin Mo acquired after being cursed with mental illness, but it is not innate, but a skill that he mastered through learning and practice.

This skill is like learning mathematics and solving equations.

It is difficult to master for those who have not learned and practiced.

The technique was taught by his mother. Before in the mental hospital, whenever his mother had nothing to do, she would always be there to guide Lin Mo in improving his mental sensitivity.

He even demonstrated to Lin Mo and taught him step by step.

Therefore, under the influence of his surroundings, Lin Mo's sensitivity to mental power is definitely not comparable to that of other mentally ill people.

Lin Mo originally thought that this ability was of little use, but in this situation, he found that it was extremely useful.

He can tell at a glance whether it is a replica or not.

But so far, everyone he has met is a copy, without exception.

Just now, Lin Mo encountered a replica.

The other person was alone, and appeared to be a researcher, wearing a white coat, a middle-aged woman.

Judging from the performance alone, this replica doesn't look fake at all.

The other party did not attack Lin Mo. After discovering Lin Mo, she secretly invited Lin Mo to hide in her office. She looked like another survivor.

Lin Mo was afraid that the other party would find out that she had seen through her and become angry and yell, so she pretended to enter her room.

See what this replica is going to do.

"Are you here to save us?" The first sentence, combined with the demeanor and expression of the female researcher, did not reveal the slightest flaw.

Lin Mo noticed the work ID hanging on the other person's chest.

It says Liu Anna, Level 2 Researcher, 4th Base.

The other party's acting skills were so good that Lin Mo couldn't expose him right away, so he just cooperated with the performance.

"Yes, I was sent by the headquarters. What on earth happened here? Just now a group of people attacked me like crazy. Fortunately, I ran fast."

"I don't know what happened. It suddenly became like this. Everyone else in the base went crazy and became different from before. I have been hiding in this room and have survived until now."

Liu Anna's expression is really on point.

If it weren't for the mental fluctuations that betrayed her, Lin Mo would not have been able to see any flaws at all.

This actually aroused Lin Mo's curiosity.

What was this replica going to do? To be honest, Lin Mo originally wanted to give the other party a hard blow, but now he didn't want to do that anymore.

Since the other party wanted to act, Lin Mo thought that why not cooperate with this thing to act out a scene, so as to test out the other party's true purpose.

"Can you take me out?" Liu Anna looked expectant at this time.

Since it was an act, Lin Mo felt that he had to follow the routine.

"No problem."

Perhaps it was because Lin Mo's answer was too decisive and affirmative, and Liu Anna on the opposite side was stunned for a moment.

But she reacted very quickly: "Well, that's great, when are we leaving?"

"Now."

Lin Mo reached out, grabbed the other person and ran out.

However, Lin Mo did not walk outwards, but towards the safety staircase and then went down the stairs.

If he were a real researcher, he would definitely raise questions at this time.

This is clearly not the way to the exit.

But Liu Anna didn't ask.

The helplessness in its eyes was gradually replaced by a strange coldness.

In the corridor, there was only the sound of two people walking down the stairs, and the dim emergency light made their shadows very long.

After going down a few floors, the light became dimmer.

Lin Mo suddenly discovered a problem.

There were clearly two footsteps in the corridor just now.

But I don’t know when, only the sound of one person’s footsteps remained.

Lin Mo looked back and saw Liu Anna still following him, and he was holding her hand, but because of the dim light, he could not see her face clearly.

You can only see an outline.

Lin Mo stopped.

Liu Anna also stopped.

The footsteps were consistent.

Lin Mo stared at the other person, and Liu Anna was also staring at Lin Mo without saying a word.

In the darkness, the two just stared at each other.

Lin Mo asked you what you were doing.

The other party also asked Lin Mo what he was doing.

Lin remained silent, and neither did the other party.

Basically, anyone with a little common sense would know that something went wrong.

Lin Mo tilted his head, and the other party also tilted his head.

Lin Mo coughed, and the other party also coughed.

"This guy is imitating me!" Lin Mo muttered.

"This guy is imitating me!" Liu Anna on the opposite side also said something, but this time, the voice was no longer the female voice just now.

Instead, it was replaced by a male voice.

And Lin Mo was very familiar with this voice.

Isn't this his own voice? Lin Mo leaned forward, and the person opposite him also leaned forward. The two faces got closer and closer, and finally, they could see each other clearly.

Lin Mo saw a familiar face, a face he would see every time he looked in the mirror.

It's your own face.

Exactly the same.

Even the slightly surprised expression was so vivid that Lin Mo even suspected that he was facing a mirror.

Suddenly, the other person's hands began to exert force.

Lin Mo looked down and saw the other person's hand.

Just like your own hands.

At this moment Lin Mo suddenly remembered something. When he was hiding in the cardboard box before, a hand reached in and almost caught him.

There is a scar between the thumb and index finger of that hand.

At that time, Lin Mo felt that something was wrong. At this time, he finally reacted and realized what was wrong.

Because it was his own right hand.

He himself had a scar in the same place.

This scar was left accidentally when I was a child, so the person who reached into the box was actually me.

"No wonder the box didn't move away immediately, because it saw me."

At this moment, the power in the palm is getting stronger and stronger.

My bones were almost crushed by the other party.

The 'self' on the other side also revealed a cold and strange smile, with cruelty and a hint of sarcasm.

I guess they thought the prey was extremely stupid for walking into the trap and entering such an environment suitable for hunting.

At this moment, Lin Mo also laughed.

He smiled brighter than the fake guy opposite him.

His palms turned black.

Like cast iron.

This time, the counterfeit can no longer be held.

Lin Mo started to exert force.

The counterfeit immediately felt a huge pressure on his palms, which felt like shaking hands with a robot.

It began to think of ways to withdraw its hand.

But I can't pull it out.

Lin Mo continued to exert his strength.

"Come on, you can imitate, can't you copy? Keep going."

Lin Mo, who had the upper hand, began to provoke.

The next moment, several curse attacks came from the hands of this impostor.

Lin Mo is very familiar with these curses.

Skin peeling, heart chewing and bone crushing.

These curses are very powerful, but they are of no use to Lin Mo.

Although he did not suffer any substantial damage, Lin Mo's expression suddenly changed and he squeezed hard.

With a click.

The opponent's palm shattered.

I guess none of the bones in the hand are intact.

The next moment, Lin Mo let go of the other person, then took out a brick hammer and hit him on the head.

With a click.

The counterfeit was knocked to the ground.

The flames from the brick hammer lit up the dim corridor.

In front of Lin Mo, there was a corpse lying.

The head was smashed, but if you look closely, you can see that this guy is exactly the same as Lin Mo.

Not only the looks, but also the clothes.

The other party even had a brick hammer and a tiger bone sickle on his waist, and rings on his fingers.

"Can it be copied completely?" Lin Mo stepped on the opponent's chest and first broke both arms of the corpse with a brick hammer.

The corpse, which should have been dead, actually let out a painful roar at this moment.

"really."

Lin Mo muttered and continued smashing.

Both legs were broken.

In this way, the opponent can't even fight back.

His head was dented and one-third of it was broken, but he didn't die.

The reason is simple, this guy not only copies the appearance and objects, but also the curse possessed by the target.

The gluttony curse and the vampire curse were very tenacious, and even with such a severe blow, the impostor did not die immediately.

At this time, Lin Mo reached out and grabbed the other person's chest.

Reach in and pull.

He actually pulled out a piece of yellow paper.

"Even yellow paper can be copied?"

Lin Mo carefully looked at the curse sequence on the yellow paper. There were currently seven types of curses.

Including skinning, bone crushing and heart eating, as well as gluttony and vampire, the other two are ghost eyes and symbiosis.

"That is to say, the other party did not complete the copying because there was not enough time. It only copied seven curses." Lin Mo suddenly realized.

Why can I suppress the opponent in an instant?

Because the opponent's curse sequence is incomplete.

If the other party succeeds in copying it completely, it will be difficult for Lin Mo to kill this impostor.

At this moment, the words on the yellow paper began to fade rapidly, and even the yellow paper itself quickly decayed, turning into something like sand and scattered around.

Look at the body again.

This time he must be really dead.

After all, it is a fatal injury. Even gluttony and the vampire curse can only save life for a short period of time. If you want to live, you must eat and suck blood.

But this guy was beaten to a pulp and couldn't get any nourishment, so he had no choice but to die.

The corpse also decayed into yellow sand.

Lin Mo noticed that this time the replica died differently from the previous one.

“Perhaps, two species?”

Lin Mo made random guesses.

This guy had transformed himself into Liu Anna before and approached me on purpose, seemingly without directing me where to go, perhaps because it didn't matter where I went.

This kind of replication can be completed within a period of time as long as it is close.

Fortunately, Lin Mo acted early. If he had been a little later, this guy would have copied all the curses and it would have been difficult to kill him.

The update is a little late today, because I took a bath at noon and was too refreshed. I was not in good condition, but fortunately I have recovered. Please continue to ask for votes!
