There are two possibilities. One is that they have a grudge against each other. After all, they live on the upper and lower floors. It is inevitable that they will have conflicts. Otherwise, why did Lin Mo say that he wanted to play poker on the third floor, and the gambler agreed so readily? He must be trying to drag the man in the suit into the water.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is the instinct to pick on the weak.

There are three people on my side, and one of them is a gambler.

The man in the suit obviously saw this, so he took the opportunity to kill the lone gambler.

But Lin Mo felt that this possibility was unlikely.

If it were me, I would definitely join forces with another company to deal with the one with the greatest momentum.

He was more inclined to believe that the man in the suit had a grudge against the gambler.

Now they can continue to choose to play the poker game, or not.

Of course, they have no say on whether to play or not, but they can decide whether to take action or not.

Lin Mo plans to talk to the man in the suit.

The other party is dressed so elegantly, with a formal dress, hat and leather shoes, so he should be able to get through to you.

"What is this gentleman's name?"

Lin Mo began to display his communication skills.

Keep silent.

It doesn't matter.

"It turns out to be Mr. Anonymous. Hello, hello. I've heard a lot about you!"

It’s always better to be polite first.

No matter whether it is the world or hell, the rule of not hitting a smiling person applies.

"As for the situation, I believe you can see that we are forced to play poker. There is no hatred between us, so why bother to fight and kill each other? How about this, poker game, let it deal the cards, anyway, let's agree and stop playing. Let's be friends, if you have any problems, we will definitely help you, and if we have any problems, we will definitely call you, do you think this is okay?"

Lin Mo thought this suggestion was very good.

The other party has no reason to refuse.

There are three of us on our side, so we have more numbers and more power, while there is only one on the other side, who is all alone.

Besides, there is no hatred involved, so why both sides suffer in a fight?

It was also because Lin Mo did not feel too strong resentment and hatred from the other party. There was a lot of malice, but as long as the other party was willing to control it, it could still be suppressed.

While speaking, Lin Mo frequently flexed his muscles.

Does this trick work?

Apparently it works.

The man in the suit was obviously intimidated, and he could feel the hostility in the other party fading.

It might be that Lin Mo used the bewitching curse when he spoke.

It is also possible that he did feel a powerful aura from Lin Mo and his father.

Anyway, the man in the tuxedo reached out, took out a card from his pocket, and handed it over without looking at it.

It should be that when Lin Mo was speaking just now, the poker card automatically dealt cards to the four people present.

And it seems that you can end the poker game by not looking at your cards.

Lin Mo felt in his pocket and found his own cards, then took them back from his father and Zhang Meng, sorted the cards, and put them back into the small box.

The faint scent on the playing cards disappeared.

Turns out ending a poker game is so easy.

All it takes is for everyone to not look at their cards.

Correspondingly, the game cannot end as long as one participant looks at the cards.

Lin Mo told the man in the suit that they were going to go upstairs.

The original intention is to let the other party take a break and not stop them.

But after listening to him, the man in the suit turned around, walked to the stairs, and took the lead to go up.

"Are you so enthusiastic?" Lin Mo muttered, but since the man in suit was willing to take them to the fourth floor, they had no reason not to follow.

When going upstairs, Zhang Meng whispered, "District Chief, I think this guy didn't attack us not because you persuaded it, but because it was full."

Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at Zhang Meng.

I have to say that this otaku girl has a very creative imagination, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

Zhang Meng's implication was to remind Lin Mo that this man in a suit could not be trusted.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Lin Mo certainly knew which strange things were worth believing and which were not. He knew this very clearly.

When you reach the fourth floor, the smell of the curse becomes very strong.

Moreover, on this floor, one can faintly hear bursts of strange music, as if someone is playing a recording of music on a computer.

At this time, Dad grabbed Lin Mo.

"This sound is the source of the curse."

Lin Mo also heard it.

In front of him, the man in a tuxedo stood motionless. Next to him, there was an old-fashioned record player that looked like a trumpet made of brass. A record was playing, but the record player seemed to be out of order. Not only was the sound low, but the music it played was distorted and even intermittent.

Lin Mo walked over and took a look. The record said "Sin - Seven Lives".

Weird song title.

But it fits the name of this curse very well.

Lin Mo understood.

This old record player must have been playing the song "Sin - Seven Lives" on loop before.

Due to being immersed in this music for a long time, many corpse monsters have been infected with this curse, which is why they have seven lives. However, this seven-life curse will only take effect after the complete death of the corpse.

In Lin Mo's plan, the Seven Lives Curse was not the first choice.

Only when he has no other options will he choose this seven-life curse.

The man in the suit was also very familiar with the fourth floor. It was obvious that he had been there often before.

It is possible that the third and fourth floors are its territory.

Lin Mo walked over at this time, turned off the record player, and then took a small piece of yellow paper and stuck it on the old record.

Slowly, words appeared on the small piece of yellow paper.

7-4 Falsehood (Seven Lives) After taking a look, Lin Mo was a little surprised.

This interpretation of curses is rare.

It is obvious that two curses are entangled together. One of these two curses is falsehood, and the other is seven lives.

Lin Mo didn't understand the curse of sequence 7 and had never seen it before.

"In other words, if you are infected with this curse, it's buy one get one free?" Lin Mo muttered.

Dad told Lin Mo that he had seen the curse of sequence 7 before.

"Xiao Mo, my advice is to try not to be contaminated by this curse. Sequence 7 is 'sin'. It is best not to be contaminated by the entire sequence 7 curse. The consequence of being contaminated is to bear the guilt that comes with it. It may not be noticeable at first, but over time, the disadvantages will definitely outweigh the advantages."

This is the advice my dad gave me.

Lin Mo understood.

But he only has less than three days left. If it really comes to the last moment, he has to use it even if it means suffering the sin.

If you use it, there will be bad consequences in the future.

No, it disappeared on the spot.

There is actually nothing to choose from in this multiple-choice question.

A definite free point question.

But Dad said there was a choice.

After saying that, he pulled Lin Mo aside and took something out of his stomach.

"Dad, can you hide something in your stomach?" Lin Mo was quite surprised. His father said that he had never seen the world and was making a fuss. "That's nothing. I've seen a master who hid something in his head. When he took out the thing, his whole skull opened up. That scene was really terrible."

What Dad took out was a black statue.

Statue of cat.

This thing was previously wrapped in a layer of newspaper and tied with a rope. The newspaper seemed to have the ability to isolate curses. Anyway, when Lin Mo opened the newspaper and saw the statue, he felt a strong breath of curse.

This is also a source of curse.

"Xiao Mo, didn't you take a nightmare called a bad ghost from the junk alley before? The other party was contaminated with this curse. You should know that it is called 'Cat God' and can give you nine lives."

When Lin Mo heard this, he actually remembered that there was such a curse.

It's found on unlucky people.

Lin Mo had seen it at that time, and Suigui said that the curse was contracted in the Second-Hand Alley. It seemed that a black cat-shaped statue stayed there for one night, and that was the reason for the curse.

It had been a long time and there were a lot of things going on, so Lin Mo actually forgot about it.

If his father hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered it.

"Originally, I didn't want to take it out. I thought that the Seven Lives you mentioned might be better, but who knew it turned out to be the Sin Curse of Sequence 7. By comparison, Cat God is much stronger."

Why does what my dad said sound a bit Versailles?

Lin Mo said, "Dad, since you have been holding the source of the Cat God's Curse, why don't you take it out? It's so tense. If you had known that there was the source of the Cat God's Curse earlier, you wouldn't have to sweat so much."

Dad shook his head: "Of course I have my reasons. Like the Seven Lives, the Cat God Curse also has disadvantages, but compared to the Seven Lives, the disadvantages of the Cat God are smaller."

"Then, what are the specific disadvantages?" Lin Mo also wanted to know.

When he asked the question, he wondered if he was getting unlucky, like a bad ghost?

Then Lin Mo would rather bear the sin.

Declining is definitely not an option.

Don't even think about it.

The old man didn't know what Lin Mo was thinking, so he explained seriously: "I know about this. The cat god cursed you to have nine lives. The disadvantage is that from now on, you can no longer be hostile to cats and nightmares. On the contrary, you will be unable to help but get close to them."

Lin Mo stared and pondered for a while.

It may not seem like a big deal at first, but if you think about it carefully, it seems quite bad.

If you ever encounter a cat nightmare in the future and the other party wants to kill you, because of the curse of the cat god, you might even actively stretch out your head to be killed by the other party.

That definitely won't work.

However, the nine lives brought by the cat god's curse are indeed very good.

"Choose the lesser of two evils, Xiao Mo. If you really can't find a better one, you can only use Cat God."

Dad said so.

Lin Mo asked, do we still need to take this 'seven lives' curse with us?

"No, it's a sinful curse. It's best not to touch it. There's no need to waste any more time. Let's go."

Dad took the lead and turned around.

Lin Mo was an obedient child and nodded.

Yes, the cat god has nine lives, and the seven lives only have seven. Considering the number, you should choose the former.

"Leaving now?" Zhang Meng followed and asked.

She doesn't quite understand the situation yet.

Lin Mo gave a brief explanation and Zhang Meng suddenly understood.

"The Cat God's Curse, the name sounds good, and it gives me nine lives, I want it too." Zhang Meng began to pester Lin Mo and act coquettishly, but Lin Mo said that the curse was in my father's hands.

Zhang Meng ran over and greeted him as "uncle".

After going down to the second floor, Dad told him another reason why he didn't let Lin Mo take away the source of the seven-life curse.

"There was something wrong with that man in the tuxedo just now."

Dad is knowledgeable and experienced, he must have his reasons for saying that.

Lin Mo actually felt the same way.

Because the other party was too cooperative.

But neither Lin Mo nor his father could tell what was wrong.

It just doesn't feel right.

"No matter what it is, let's not get involved. Remember, there is no such thing as winning every battle in this world. Xiao Mo, when you encounter something that cannot be solved, don't force it. You must know how to retreat and admit defeat. There is no harm in being a little timid."

Dad is teaching me the philosophy of life again.

At this moment on the fourth floor, the man in the suit was still standing there.

It's a little absent-minded.

The next moment, he looked down at the old record player, stretched out his chopstick-like fingers, picked up the record, put it on, and started playing.

The music became more distorted.

There seemed to be a hint of strange whispers in it.

"What a shame! What a pity!"

…

When coming out of the studio, Zhang Meng was pestering Lin's father.

The latter's head hurt from the quarrel.

"The curse of the cat god lasts a long time, so you have to focus on Xiao Mo first. I will give him the source of the curse in two days. If you have any questions, just look for Xiao Mo directly."

Finally got rid of Zhang Meng.

Outside, Fatty is bragging to the other Nightmares.

He said that the Xiaobai in his hand was his son. The nightmares around him were stunned and stood in awe.

The head of the pajama ghost girl just giggled.

Obviously he likes the atmosphere of Lvyuan Community.

Seeing Lin Mo and Lin's father coming out, the fat man immediately went to greet them, and the nightmares around him also greeted them one after another.

Some newcomers have never seen Lin Mo, but they have already heard of the famous titles such as "District Chief" and "Lin Expert". Anyone in the Lvyuan community has heard of him so many times that their ears are callused.

Nie Hong, who had a good relationship with Lin Mo, glanced at Lin Mo at this time, and immediately walked over to smell it.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Nie Hong looked concerned.

Dandan’s mother also squeezed over with a look of disbelief on her face.

They could all sense that there was no breath of life on Lin Mo. Didn't this mean that Lin Mo was dead and had become the same as them?

"It's not what you think." Lin Mo didn't have time to explain.

"We'll help you." Nie Hong and Dandan's mother expressed their opinions. Not only the two of them, but also many Nightmares who were familiar with Lin Mo in the community gathered around.

Lin Mo also saw the little red dress that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Now the little girl in red dress is holding her father and mother's hands, and looks very happy.

Perhaps sensing Lin Mo's presence, the girl in the red dress let go of her parents' hands, ran over and hugged Lin Mo.

Father Lin had never seen such a scene before. He was stunned but also somewhat relieved.

"This kid looks like he's doing better than me."

Although it is lively, the concern is genuine.

But Lin Mo still had to go to Qianlong City General Administration to ask Professor Xie and Lin Nan about the situation of the undead curse, so he really had no time to delay.

And it’s not a good thing to tell everyone about this.

So Lin Mo just said that he had nothing to do and he had to go out soon.

As for Nie Hong and Dandan's mother who took the initiative to ask to go together, Lin Mo said that they would not be able to help even if they came, so they should just stay at home.

The girl in the red skirt asked Lin Mo to wait for a moment.

She ran back, and when she came out, she had a handful of red balloons in her hand, which she stuffed directly into Lin Mo's hand.
