After Lin Mo counted to three, all sounds disappeared in the fifth-floor ghost pavilion.

At the same time, a figure appeared from the deepest part of this layer.

With the appearance of this figure, all the light around dimmed, and only a little light remained around Lin Mo, which was at most a circle with a diameter of one meter.

The space swallowed by the darkness was completely isolated, as if divided into two separate worlds.

Lin Mo didn't react much to the changes in the surrounding environment.

Some nightmares with special abilities and forbidden abilities have the ability to change the environment.

This is not uncommon.

Looking at the figure slowly approaching in front, I knew that this should be the Ghost King of the fifth level.

It’s really strong.

Can be compared with Yuan Xiuqing.

However, Yuan Xiuqing was completely controlled by the dark side and only knew how to hunt down targets with a causal aura. In contrast, this fifth-level Ghost King looked much more normal.

The other person turned out to be a fair-skinned scholar, with no spot on his body.

It can be seen that this is a very particular ghost.

But if you look closely, you will find that the appearance of this scholar is very strange. It is not walking over, but more like it is growing from small to big, and there is no change in its expression and movements.

It's like a photo, taken from far away and brought up close.

After seeing this, Lin Mo always felt that something was wrong.

Then he realized it.

“Isn’t this a shadow play?”

The scholar who appeared in front of Lin Mo at this moment was like a character in an immersive shadow play, the kind that was edited and almost motionless.

The falseness was palpable.

It can’t be called a projection, and it’s not a painting either.

Because the limbs, head, and even mouth and eyes of shadow puppets are all movable.

At this moment, the shadow puppet scholar's eyes turned and looked at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo also looked at it.

If you don't speak, I won't speak! Lin Mo was curious. Since the other party didn't speak, he planned to show his friendliness first.

So he reached out and grabbed it.

But he soon found that he couldn't catch it. As he walked forward, the distance between him and the other party remained unchanged.

It’s as if the other person is always in front of you.

No matter how Lin Mo moves, the distance between him and the shadow puppet scholar remains unchanged.

This kind of weirdness was the first time that Lin Mo had seen it.

Lin Mo tried to communicate with the other party.

This time the shadow puppet scholar reacted, but he just smiled and bowed. Because it was a shadow puppet, the posture of the bow was extremely strange.

In addition, because of the shadow puppetry, the other party always only shows half of his face.

That is the side face.

But apart from this, the shadow puppet scholar did not speak, and seemed unable to speak. Even if he smiled, it was a very stiff fake smile.

Lin Mo asked it a question.

The shadow puppet scholar just shook his head.

But in this scenario, shaking your head can have several meanings.

One possibility is that it didn't understand what Lin Mo said; the second possibility is that it knew but didn't want to say it; and the third possibility is that it stopped Lin Mo from moving forward and shook its head to indicate that he couldn't go any further.

Now it seems that both are possible.

Lin Mo asked again about what happened just now, what were those ghosts blocking the road.

This time, the shadow puppet scholar bowed and apologized.

He bowed and then saluted.

So far, although the shadow puppet scholar himself is very strange, he has behaved very politely. Although he cannot speak, his attitude is very good.

The main reason was that Lin Mo had never seen such a strange thing, and he had no time to explore it.

He thought it over and decided that since the other party had apologized, he would let the previous matters go for now.

Lin Mo didn't know what Lin Yuan would do in this situation, but Lin Mo felt that since he was his brother, his style of doing things should be similar.

That is not to get too hung up on one thing.

To put it more bluntly.

Of course, another reason why Lin Mo did not pursue the matter at the moment was that he was an impostor, not the real Lin Yuan, and if they really started fighting, he was afraid that the other party would resist.

If we fail to defeat this resistance, we will be completely exposed.

So there was a staircase down, and Lin Mo didn't mind going down.

"Okay, now that you've apologized, I won't pursue the matter any further. Just go!" Lin Mo waved his hand and let the other party leave.

He has other important things to do.

The shadow puppet scholar opposite did not move.

The strange glasses just kept looking at Lin Mo.

The original action of bowing to apologize also stopped.

The atmosphere suddenly felt a little wrong.

The surrounding darkness began to encroach forward, slowly corroding the light under Lin Mo's feet.

"Exposed?" A thought popped up in Lin Mo's mind.

This is the only possibility.

Obviously, the real Lin Yuan might not let the other person go easily, or Lin Mo might have made a mistake from the beginning. The real Lin Yuan might be very familiar with this shadow puppet scholar.

Or there is a grudge!

Anyway, there must have been something wrong with my performance just now.

But Lin Mo didn't feel embarrassed or regretful at all.

Because he is not Lin Yuan. He can walk without talking, but as soon as he opens his mouth and takes action, there will be many loopholes, and it is only a matter of time before he is exposed.

Suddenly, the shadow puppet scholar let out a strange laugh.

The sound is sharp.

With sarcasm.

It turns out that the other party can speak, he was just pretending just now.

Along with the laughter of the shadow puppet scholar, laughter was also heard in the darkness, as if there were many people standing around, laughing at Lin Mo together.

Lin Mo also laughed.

He shook the brick hammer, and the flames on the brick shot up high, illuminating the surroundings. The darkness was also dispelled a lot, at least Lin Mo could see things within a range of two or three meters around him.

"Xiaoyu, kill it!"

It is Lin Mo's characteristic to strike first.

Although the other party only laughed sharply and did not take any action, Lin Mo was very clear that the Ghost King of the fifth floor had decided to stop him the moment he stepped onto the fifth floor.

It is destined that it will not be easy to reach the sixth floor.

When Lin Mo killed the ghosts that blocked his way before, those ghosts fled in all directions. Lin Mo looked everywhere but couldn't find the stairs leading up. Apparently, the stairs were hidden by something.

From that moment on, Lin Mo knew that things would not end well.

The fact that the fifth-level Ghost King dared to stop me meant that he had realized that I was fake, a knockoff, and he was more than 70% sure of it.

That's why I dared to let those ghosts block my way and see my reaction.

And just now, the Ghost King appeared, and his performance increased the opponent's confidence to 90%.

The reason why we haven't taken action immediately is probably that there is still a trace of doubt.

But Lin Mo didn't want to follow the other party's pace anymore.

Don't you still have some doubts?

It’s okay, I’ll help you dispel that last bit of doubt.

No matter what he does, Lin Mo doesn't like to be passive, because even if it drags on, there is not much point in continuing to act.

It’s better to cut the Gordian knot.

Let’s see the real thing with our own hands.

Black chains emerged from all directions and attacked the shadow puppet scholar in front. Lin Mo even smashed the hammer in his hand towards the opponent.

Lin Mo was also observing just now. He couldn't touch the shadow puppet scholar, so the problem might be under his feet.

Because I moved, the shadow puppet scholar also moved, and a fixed distance was always maintained between the two.

In that case, just throw something over there and see if you can hit it.

Lin Mo made the right bet.

This time, the brick hammer hit the shadow puppet scholar directly in the face. The other party wailed, and his body shook and hid in the darkness.
