Being stared at by a group of ghosts is a feeling that most people cannot bear.

More than just fear.

There was also a kind of chill and malice that could be felt, like a gust of Arctic wind carrying all kinds of stench, blowing towards him.

"What's going on down there?" Xiaoyu came over and wanted to take a look.

"It's okay, there's nothing." Lin Mo pulled Xiaoyu back.

Lin Mo knew very well that those things below had no good intentions.

I guess she came here for Xiaoyu just like Hu Lingling.

If a fight breaks out, Lin Mo is not afraid, but after all, the other side has more people, it's not that he can't defeat them, but now is not the time to really fight.

Lin Mo still understood the tactic of retreating when the enemy advances.

"Let's climb out of the window, grab the corner of the wall outside, and jump onto the roof of the yard next door."

Lin Mo opened the window and took a look. A perfect escape route appeared in his mind.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and the sound of someone coming up the stairs was heard.

Time is running out.

Lin Mo looked back at Hu Lingling, then kicked the guy down the stairs, and then shouted: "Chu Yu fell down."

In an instant, there were ghostly howlings below, mixed with Hu Lingling's terrified screams.

Lin Mo didn't delay either. He stuffed the black umbrella into Xiaoyu's hand, picked her up and climbed out of the window.

The physique strengthened by the curse allows him to do things beyond ordinary people.

He ran a few steps on the wall, jumped onto the roof a few meters away, then continued to jump forward and landed in an alley.

Xiaoyu was stunned the whole time.

I came to my senses only after I landed.

“You are awesome.”

Lin Mo was obviously very proud of the beautiful woman's praise.

Seeing Xiaoyu returning the black umbrella, Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Let's share the umbrella."

"But it's not raining, why are you holding an umbrella?" Xiaoyu didn't quite understand. If Lin Mo hadn't saved her just now, she would definitely think that the person in front of her was a psychopath.

If Lin Mo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be surprised how she could see it.

"What's your name?" Xiaoyu asked at this time. She didn't know how she got to this place and couldn't remember what happened before.

Even her best friend turned into a ghost.

Fortunately, this person saved her.

"My name is Lin Mo, you can call me Xiao Mo." Lin Mo introduced himself seriously, but this feeling was weird, but Lin Mo was very happy.

Xiaoyu has forgotten the pain and despair of the past. Now she has no resentment or hatred, and even her malice has disappeared.

It's like being purified in some way.

This is what Lin Mo hopes Xiaoyu will become.

Now that the chance had come together, Lin Mo decided that no one should think of passing on resentment and hatred to Xiaoyu anymore, and he wanted to take Xiaoyu back in this state.

"My name is Chu Yu." Xiao Yu also introduced herself, and then asked: "Where is this place? Just now Lingling..."

Lin Mo said, "Don't think about Hu Lingling anymore. As for this place, it's your dream."

"Yes, you are dreaming. Ghosts only appear in dreams. Xiaoyu, just treat this as a dream. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

Xiaoyu nodded, not quite understanding.

"Come, follow me."

Lin Mo reached out and pulled Xiaoyu. They had to leave this place first and find a safe place.

In this situation, Lin Mo successfully found Xiaoyu, but he didn't know how to leave this place, that is, to go out from the deformed black door.

Do we have to leave the well where the giant's corpse is?

To be honest, Lin Mo didn't want to go down that well again.

Of course, if that was the only exit, Lin Mo would have no choice but to go down.

This town is weird and abnormal everywhere, and there are almost no normal people.

Apart from Xiaoyu, the only people who seemed relatively normal at the beginning were the old couple in the yard next door.

At this moment, Lin Mo's heart moved.

I didn’t think about many things in detail at the beginning, but now when I look back on them, I find some interesting things.

Just like he thought there would be a lot of normal people in this place.

But after walking around, I realized that, apart from Xiaoyu, the only normal people in this town were the old couple. Everyone else, including the night watchman, had problems.

Especially the night watchman, with a bunch of people following him, he acted as if nothing had happened.

This courage is second only to my own.

Besides, after he came in, he was right next to the old couple.

This is certainly not a coincidence.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided to go back.

Go find that old couple and find out what's going on.

Although Xiaoyu is timid, she has a strong character. She whispered these words to Lin Mo along the way. The two of them held hands and held an umbrella, looking like a young couple.

At this time, Xiaobai, who was lying on Lin Mo's back, poked his head out and looked at Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu didn't dare to look at it and could only pretend not to see it.

If the child is included, they are no longer a young couple, but a young couple who are out for a walk with their child.

There are really a lot of ghosts in this town.

When passing a small stone bridge, we saw male corpses floating on their backs and female corpses floating on their backs in the canal below.

Very fierce, very fierce! If you look at them, they will open their eyes and look at you.

No loss at all.

"Look, there are lanterns." Xiaoyu didn't dare to look down or to the side. Xiaobai next to her kept looking at her with a silly smile, so she could only look up.

At this time, there were a few things floating above that looked like Kongming lanterns.

Floating, emitting a faint light.

Quite beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Lin Mo took a look and covered Xiaoyu's eyes with his hands.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu was puzzled, but she was very gentle. Unlike others, she did not try to pry away the hands covering her eyes. Instead, she let Lin Mo cover her eyes and asked a question.

"nothing."

Lin Mo was also at a loss for words.

The main thing is that the thing emitting faint light and floating in the air is not a Kongming lantern, but a human head.

Why it glows.

Because there is a candle in the head's mouth.

Lin Mo couldn't explain what this thing was, but it was very dangerous. Anyway, he wouldn't see it, hear it, or hear anything about it. No matter how weird or scary you are, it has nothing to do with me.

You go your way, I go mine, and we don’t bother each other.

The effect of the black umbrella was revealed at this time.

If there was no black umbrella, Lin Mo, a living person, would definitely cause an uproar in this place and would definitely be beaten up.

Besides, there are many ghosts here looking for Xiaoyu.

Like Hu Lingling, they seem to be contaminated by Xiaoyu's karma, so she must be killed.

But the black umbrella can shield this cause and effect to a certain extent.

That's why Lin Mo and Xiao Yu can walk safely in the town. If they encounter some unclean things occasionally, they can just ignore those with weak yin energy. If they encounter strong ones, they can take the initiative to give way. Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?

"How do you know me?" Xiaoyu had been chatting quietly with Lin Mo in order to ease her tension. Mainly because she was a little scared to be silent in a place like this.

"The two of us? We met while playing games." Lin Mo answered. He was not lying. He really met while playing games.

The game I'm playing is the Pen Fairy game.

"What game is it?" Xiaoyu became simple-minded, but her curiosity remained.

"Pen Fairy game!" Lin Mo told the truth.

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, probably because she thought it was cool: "So awesome, is it fun? They said this game is very dangerous, and it will really summon the Pen Fairy. By the way, did the Pen Fairy come out? Have you seen it? What does it look like?"

Lin Mo had a hard time answering this question.

However, unable to resist Xiaoyu's questioning, he said that the Pen Fairy had appeared and he had seen it before and it looked very beautiful.

“Is it really beautiful?”

“It’s really beautiful!”

"Then, what did the Pen Fairy do afterwards? Did you ask any questions? I heard that the Pen Fairy knows everything."

"Not necessarily." Lin Mo said: "This pen fairy is a little silly. She wanted to strangle me to death at the beginning. Of course, I am not afraid of her."

"That sounds exciting. You're just bragging, right? Why didn't she strangle you to death?"

"I have a brother named Bai who helped me. Well, that's all in the past. Later, the ghost of the pen and I became friends instead of enemies."

"You make friends with ghosts?" Xiaoyu asked with admiration.

Lin Mo said that it was nothing big, and said that he had a friend named Jiang who was in love with a female ghost.

This is already a conservative statement.

If we tell the truth, Lin Mo actually has a godson who is a fierce ghost, and so does his father.

But you can’t say everything, otherwise there will be nothing to talk about later.

During the conversation, Xiaoyu was not as nervous and scared as at the beginning. She kept asking Lin Mo how his friend named Jiang came to fall in love with a female ghost.

"How would I know? They didn't ask me to watch when they were sleeping." Lin Mo spread his hands.

Xiaoyu thought about it and it made sense.

Perhaps she felt embarrassed to keep asking this question, so she changed the subject.

I asked what the little fat kid lying on Lin Mo's back was doing.

"Did he fall into the flour jar?"

"What noodle jar? This is Xiaobai. Although he doesn't look that good, he has a good personality. Come on, Xiaobai, smile at your sister Xiaoyu. Don't be shy."

We've arrived.

The yard where the old couple lived.

Lin Mo noticed that the yard next door, the one with the well, was indeed in a dilapidated state, as if no one had lived there for a long time. The white walls were peeling and there were some weeds growing around it.

It was pitch black and looked like a haunted house no matter how you looked at it.

But Lin Mo felt that this house must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, why would I come out of the well in this house.

Get down to business.

Lin Mo walked forward and prepared to knock on the old couple's door.

It turned out that there were many more bloody handprints on the door panel than before.

Lin Mo felt that he might not be able to knock the door open even if he knocked, because there were two possibilities. One was that a ghost had entered and killed the old couple. The second was that the ghost had not entered, but the old couple were probably so frightened that he could not knock the door open.

"Let's climb over the wall."

Lin Mo said to Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu has no objection.

Now Lin Mo is the one in charge, and she will agree to whatever Lin Mo says.

This time Xiaoyu didn't let Lin Mo hold her, she said she could crawl by herself.

Lin Mo was holding her up from below, and after lifting her up, he turned over and climbed up.

When I looked into the yard, I saw a dark shadow standing at the door.

Lin Mo had seen this black shadow before.

This was the guy who knocked on the door and tricked the old couple into opening it.

At that time, he and Lin Mo looked at each other on the edge of the courtyard wall.

The other person was wearing a black jacket and a melon-shaped hat, also black, but Lin Mo didn't realize at the time that he was so tall.

A tall and thin figure, with long arms, long neck and even a long head.

Like a stretched sugar man.

At this moment, this thing was standing at the door of the house, and the house was quiet, and no one knew what happened to the old couple.

Xiaoyu's face changed with fright when she saw this thing, and Lin Mo quickly reached out and covered her eyes.

Then he leaned close to her ear and said, "Just close your eyes and you won't be afraid!"

After saying that, he handed the black umbrella to her and then jumped down.

The thin ghost had a stronger perception ability than Lin Mo. As soon as Lin Mo came out of the black umbrella, it turned its head sharply to look over, but it only saw a gradually enlarging flaming brick.

The Slender Man reached out and grabbed the brick, forcibly neutralizing the attack.

This thing's fingers were equally long, with one finger being as long as three of a normal person's, and it was so powerful that bricks could actually squeak when squeezed.

Lin Mo saw a trace of brick dust falling down.

“Oh my god!”

Furious, Lin Mo drew his knife with his other hand and started to chop.

Tiger bone sickle.

It was very powerful at the beginning, able to kill ghosts and monsters, with its sharpness and attack power off the charts. And after being strengthened by devouring other sword spirits on the Glutton, it became even more powerful.

In Lin Mo's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved with one knife.

If so, then give it another shot.

Lin Mo's knife skills have reached a very high level after constant practice. He can draw the knife and chop in one go.

The knife hit the opponent's neck directly.

I cut it in half and it got stuck.

Lin Mo used both hands, and the other party still had one hand free.

He immediately grabbed Lin Mo's chest.

Maybe he wants to do a black tiger heart-ripping.

Looking at the other person's fingers that are almost as long as chopsticks, I definitely can't let it get in.

"Ghost, stop it!"

Lin Mo shouted.

Ghost hands stretched out from the shadows under his feet, grabbed the opponent's arms and blocked him with force.

The sharp fingers were only an inch away from Lin Mo's heart.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The first wave was fairly evenly matched.

This slender ghost is indeed powerful, with the strength of an A-level nightmare.

But Lin Mo has a backup plan.

His curse attacks.

The next moment, Lin Mo loosened his hand holding the knife and grabbed the other person's neck.

Several curses were thrown at him in an instant.

Especially the aging curse.

No matter who it is, once attacked by this curse, their combat power will be reduced. Combined with skinning, bone crushing, heart gnawing and burning, the pain is only known to those who have truly experienced it.

Under the concentrated curse attack, the Slender Man's expression gradually became serious.

It also let go of the brick and grabbed Lin Mo's neck.

This is called following suit.

It thought that if Lin Mo could do it, it could do it too.

“Steel!”

Lin Mo's neck turned black directly. The slender ghost pinched it for a long time. When it reacted and wanted to do something else, the brick hammer hit its head.

Once, twice!

Slender Man fell to the ground.

When Lin Mo hit it eleven times, the opponent's chopstick-like fingers finally loosened, twitched after falling, and finally stopped moving.

Lin Mo waved his hand, and his ghost shadow immediately caught the drizzle on the wall.

Xiaoyu still had her eyes closed.

She opened her eyes only after Lin Mo told her that it was okay.

"Did you secretly open your eyes just now?" Lin Mo asked her.

Xiaoyu nodded nervously.

"It's okay. You have to get used to this kind of thing. Once you get used to it, you won't be afraid of it anymore."

Lin Mo called out a few ghosts and told her that these were his ghost friends.

"I have so many friends that I can't even count them with my hands and feet. You'll meet them later."

After saying that, Lin Mo went to knock on the door.

There was no movement in the room.

I guess the old couple are shivering in the quilt.

He let a ghost sneak in and move the bolt. Lin Mo went in and saw that it was true. The quilt on the bed was bulging and shaking.

…

Lin Mo had to spend some time talking to convince the old couple that he was neither a bad person nor a ghost.

The candles in the room were lit again.

Through the conversation, Lin Mo learned that this place was called "Liangcheng", the old man's surname was Yuan, and the old woman's surname was also Yuan, and he couldn't get any other valuable information from them.

The old couple didn't know that there was a night parade of demons outside and thought everything was normal.

Lin Mo didn't say much.

If there was no special reason, he wouldn't say too much to the two NPCs.

At this time, there was another knock on the door outside the yard.

"Open the door, open the door quickly."

Everyone in the room was stunned.

"Uncle, this is Xiuqing, please open the door!"

This was the second time Lin Mo heard the name 'Xiu Qing'.

It seemed that the thin ghost had said this name before. What he said then was the same as the person knocking on the door now. He also said it was Xiuqing and also called him Second Uncle.

Lin Mo asked if he wanted to open the door, and Old Yuan waved his hand hurriedly.

"No, there must be something dirty outside, we can't open the door."

He had been frightened before, so even if he suspected it wasn't Xiuqing, he wouldn't open the car.

The knocking continued for a long time, and maybe the man knew that the person in the house would not open the door, so he stopped knocking.

Lin Mo asked Old Yuan who Tou Xiuqing was.

"My nephew went out a few days ago and said he would be back at the end of the year."

Lin Mo continued to ask about Xiu Qing.

He felt that Xiuqing was not simple.

Otherwise, why didn't those ghosts pretend to be someone else, but pretended to be Xiuqing? There must be a reason.

After asking this question, I realized that this person named Yuan Xiuqing is really not a simple person.

The strange thing is that even his second uncle doesn’t know what he does.

"Xiuqing is a very mysterious kid."

"He has a lot of friends who often call him out in the middle of the night."

"In addition, Xiuqing is very generous, and she provides the best food, drink and clothing."

Lin Mo listened and wanted to ask how you two could be uncles and aunts. It was outrageous that you didn't even know what your nephew did for a living.

At this time, the door knocked again.

Bang, bang, bang! "Uncle, aunt, open the door quickly, I'm Xiuqing."

The old couple still had no intention of opening the door.

They were so frightened that they just thought they would be fine if they could just hold out until dawn.

Lin Mo knew, however, that there would definitely be no dawn in this place.

This time Lin Mo stood up and walked out, opening the door in front of everyone's stunned gazes.

Standing outside the door was a man in a black jacket and robe, he looked to be in his thirties, calm and capable, and most importantly, he didn't look like a ghost.

This is certainly not a ghost.

At least not a ghost in this memory world.

Lin Mo also felt it, so he came out to open the door.

The people at the door were also stunned when they saw Lin Mo.

"Who are you? Where is my second uncle?"

Lin Mo said nothing, just stared at the other person with a smile.

The old couple in the room came out only after they saw who was outside.

"Xiuqing, why are you back? Come in quickly, it's not clean outside."

As he said this, he dragged the man in, then closed the door again and bolted it.
