Xiaohu has swallowed many ghosts, and there must be several ghost minions in its stomach. Lin Mo was reluctant to use the valuable ghost minions, so he found an unknown ghost to take the lead.

At this moment, the terrifying-looking ghost walked up the stairs fearlessly.

Lin Mo followed behind.

There are not many stairs, and even if you walk slowly, you can reach the top in less than a minute.

Last time Lin Mo was in a hurry, so he didn't pay much attention to it. This time he slowed down and found that the seventh floor was very special.

The special thing is that it is completely dark up there. Except for a small area of ​​ground at the staircase, you can't see anything further away. Before, Lin Mo thought that this place was dark, but after a careful observation, he found that it was not the case at all.

The evil ghost had no idea what fear was and walked forward without hesitation.

At the moment when the ghost stepped onto the seventh floor, something strange happened.

Whoosh! It's gone.

Lin Mo was stunned and rubbed his eyes.

Really disappeared.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided not to go up, but to retreat.

He remembered that he was attacked the moment he stepped onto the seventh floor, the balloon burst, and then he was back to the stairs on the sixth floor.

Could it be that the accomplice was also teleported back?

I went down to take a look, but there was nothing there.

Empty.

Xiaohu squatted aside, watching Lin Mo coming down, staring with his tiger eyes, not knowing what was going on.

Lin Mo asked Xiaohu to stay here so that he could help keep an eye on things.

"Xiao Hu, what did you see just now?" Lin Mo asked after going downstairs. Xiao Hu shook his head, indicating that he saw nothing.

"Where is that accomplice?" Lin Mo asked again.

This time, Xiaohu made an eye-rolling expression.

That means dead.

Dead?

That's right.

The strength of that ghost is very average, and it can break the attack of the red balloon. It is not difficult to kill that ghost.

The problem is, there is no body.

Just now, the ghost disappeared the moment it reached the seventh floor.

Lin Mo didn't even see what attacked it.

Just like the first time I went up there.

"Another strange attack that is hard to detect. This is the most annoying thing." Lin Mo frowned and glanced at Xiaohu: "Spit out another one!"

Xiaohu had no choice but to vomit and vomit out another ghost.

Lin Mo decided that he had to find out the answer this time no matter what, otherwise he would be stuck here and unable to move forward.

So he not only opened his ghost eyes and looked carefully, but also called Xiaoyu out.

"Two people, five eyes, I don't believe that we can't see the problem."

It was still the accomplices who took the lead, while Lin Mo and Xiao Yu followed behind and watched carefully.

Same as last time.

As soon as the evil spirit reached the seventh floor, it disappeared in an instant.

Lin Mo opened three eyes and turned his head to look at Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, did you see clearly?"

Xiaoyu next to her shook her head.

"Let's go down and make Xiaohu vomit another one."

Lin Mo ran down the stairs and told Xiaohu his request.

Xiaohu had no choice but to vomit again.

It can be seen that the process of vomiting ghosts is not very comfortable. Lin Mo also understands that if you eat something and then vomit it out, there will definitely be a reaction.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Lin Mo patted Xiaohu's head.

He grabbed the third ghost and ran up.

"I have to watch it carefully this time." Lin Mo opened his eyes wide, staring carefully at the seventh-floor stairs, watching the third ghost walk up.

Then swish.

No more!

Lin Mo took a breath of cold air.

He looked at Xiaoyu again. Xiaoyu also tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face. She probably couldn't figure it out.

"I just don't believe this!"

Lin Mo ran down angrily and ran up again.

Several times in a row.

Lin Mo was fine, he wasn't particularly tired from running up and down, but Xiaohu's face was blue from vomiting, and when they went downstairs later, he was vomiting acid.

He looked extremely pitiful and aggrieved.

Xiaohu used his tiger claws to tell Lin Mo the current situation.

Except for a few useful ones, all its minions were spit out.

The few useful ghosts are Liu Sheng who was swallowed before, and those few ghost bites. There are really no more.

Lin Mo also knew that the remaining few minions were still useful and had a certain level of intelligence, so there was no need to conduct further experiments.

Besides, it would be useless even if we continued like this.

I just can’t see it, no matter how many times I try.

At this time, Lin Mo was sitting on the stairs, lost in thought.

There is only one way to go up the stairs, so there is no problem of taking the wrong way.

And according to Old Sun, that woman, namely 'Liu Jia', would go up from here every day.

Liu Jia can go, but I can’t?

Unless this ghost pavilion has facial recognition and permission settings, it doesn't make sense.

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Mo thought of a key point at this moment.

All the minions that had gone up before disappeared, not even a trace was left.

When he went up for the first time, he used a balloon to block an attack and was teleported to the stairs on the sixth floor.

There is a cognitive problem here.

Did the evil spirit really disappear, or did it go up?

Xiaohu said that all the minions were dead, which should be true, but where are the bodies?

It's impossible to really disappear out of thin air.

Xiaohu also said that it can still sense the corpse of the ghost, but not on this level.

"So, I have to try again myself. It's useless to rely on ghosts alone." Lin Mo came to the conclusion.

Or, he could just give up ringing the bell and return the same way.

Or, face the challenge and try again yourself.

After careful consideration, Lin Mo decided to give it a try.

The main thing was that he knew that this staircase could definitely lead up, otherwise wouldn't the idea of ​​ringing the bell on the ninth floor be a joke from the beginning?

First he took back Xiaohu, whose face was blue from vomiting, and then Lin Mo asked Xiaoyu to return to the pencil.

Xiaoyu seemed to know what Lin Mo was going to do. She shook her head, and rushed into Lin Mo's arms. Lin Mo felt a cold but soft body touching his skin.

Xiaoyu and Lin Mo's bodies overlapped. She did not disappear, nor did she appear completely, but instead they overlapped with each other.

This was the first time that Lin Mo experienced this mode.

You know what, it feels pretty good.

Very cool and soft.

Lin Mo also knew Xiaoyu's plan. She wanted to endure that strange attack together with him.

It's like putting on armor and going to the battlefield.

The mortality rate is of course different when not wearing armor and when wearing armor.

After making all these preparations, Lin Mo started to climb the stairs.

One step at a time.

When he reached the top door, just one step away from entering the seventh floor, Lin Mo took a deep breath and activated the Iron Curse.

All of a sudden, most of his skin turned black like cast iron.

Then he took a step forward.

Go up to the seventh floor.

A strange thing happened.

Lin Mo felt a tremendous pressure at this moment.

It was like a car was suddenly placed on top of him.

This kind of oppressive force makes it difficult for Lin Mo to take a step forward.

Almost at the same time, Lin Mo saw many ghosts around him. They stretched out their hands from the darkness, revealing hideous faces full of malice, and reached out to grab Lin Mo.

It seemed as if they wanted to drag Lin Mo into the darkness and endure the endless pain here with them.

Lin Mo also had a splitting headache at this moment. The pressure around his body doubled, and he was being pulled by many evil spirits.

Before, he might have been dragged into darkness.

But at this moment, his own strength has reached a certain standard. What's more, Xiaoyu is now integrated with him. In terms of resistance, Lin Mo is obviously stronger.

The result was that Lin Mo took this step.

It was like walking out of a terrifying world all of a sudden.

When Lin Mo stepped on the ground, in an instant, all the pressure, pulling, the roar and whisper of the evil spirits, and the horrible pain disappeared.

It's like it never existed.

A flash of light appeared in front of Lin Mo's eyes, and he entered the normal floor.

Look around.

The corridor behind him was pitch black, and he came up from there.

On this floor, Lin Mo saw the word "eight" written on a wooden beam in front.

Lin Mo was stunned.

There are floors above this. Lin Mo has seen them before, but he was clearly going up from the sixth floor, so he should be on the seventh floor now. How could he be on the eighth floor?

Is that a mistake?

Lin Mo thought about it and shook his head.

Probably not.

How could something like this be marked incorrectly? Turning his head to look at the bottom of the stairs, he found some vague outlines below, but it definitely didn't look like the sixth floor.

And this may not be an accident.

The problem lies on the seventh floor.

Perhaps, the seventh floor itself is very special. Lin Mo even suspects that the seventh floor of the Ghost Pavilion is a non-existent floor.

You can't actually enter the seventh floor, you can only pass through it.

And in the process of passing through the seventh level, one will be subjected to the previous negative attacks and influences.

If you are not strong enough, you will die.

Just like those minions.

Only when one’s strength reaches a certain standard can one truly pass through the seventh level and reach the eighth level.

If we understand it this way, many things can be explained.

The disappeared ghost was actually still on the seventh floor, but it was dragged in by the many evil ghosts on that floor and stayed on the seventh floor forever.

If he had not taken that step at that time, and if it had not been for Xiaoyu's power, Lin Mo might not have been able to pass smoothly.

"After all this, it turns out that this is a floor that requires hard indicators to pass. If you are not strong enough to pass it, you will be stuck on the seventh floor forever. If you meet the requirements of that non-existent floor, you can go up. It's quite simple."

Lin Mo figured it out.

Fortunately, he passed.

However, Lin Mo felt that this was nothing to be proud of.

Mainly according to this theory, those who can reach the eighth level are at least "fierce men" who have reached this standard, no, in other words, "fierce ghosts".

Otherwise you can’t get up.

Look around.

It was true. This was the eighth floor of the Ghost Pavilion. The terrifying atmosphere around it, the resentment and malice that permeated this floor, were more terrifying than any of the floors below. The resentment and malice had even condensed on the walls, the floor, and the ceiling, turning into hideous and twisted faces.

Or it turns into a ball of black, twisted hair.

Anyway, this place is scarier than the six floors below combined.

Lin Mo could even feel that Xiaoyu's hairs in his clothes stood up and felt itchy.

"Xiaoyu, go back to your pencil and rest for a while!"

Lin Mo said something.

Xiaoyu shrank back without saying a word.

Having reached the eighth floor, Lin Mo didn’t want to cause trouble, so he continued to go up to the ninth floor to see if he could ring the bell.

Lin Mo tried not to get involved in other matters.

Another thing is to see if he can find Liu Jia and reminisce with her. Although, Lin Mo actually has nothing to say. He has lost all his memories of the past with Liu Jia, and meeting her would be like meeting strangers.

But the other party should remember it, and maybe this conversation can help you remember something.

You know what, when Lin Mo thought about this, he felt a little excited, as if he was about to meet his ex-girlfriend.

The eighth floor is the same as the one below. I don’t know where the stairs going up are, so I have to look for them.

At this moment, there were three paths in front of Lin Mo, all of which were dark and no one knew where they led to.

Obviously no matter which path you take, you are 100% likely to encounter ghosts.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand and tapped the beans, picked one at random and walked forward.

Because of the heavy resentment, the walls were covered with black mold, some of which had clumps of hair, and there seemed to be some pale faces hidden in them.

Some of them even grew pale hands, and when they sensed someone approaching, they would suddenly stretch out their hands, intending to drag the passerby onto the black spots on the wall.

These are just the condensation of resentment and cannot even be called ghosts.

But often, this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with.

Because they have no intelligence at all, they only attack based on instinct.

It was fine at the beginning, Lin Mo only needed to occasionally avoid the hands that suddenly grabbed him.

But the further we walked, the more hands there were on the walls. In the end, not only the walls on both sides, but even the ceiling under our feet were covered with hands.

And hair.

It's so crowded that the road is blocked. To get through, you have to reach out and push your hair aside.

This road is not easy to walk on.

Lin Mo retreated back the way he came and decided to take another route.

The second way doesn't work either.

When I was halfway there, a dilapidated wooden door appeared in front of me.

There were several locks on the wooden door, and it was covered with talismans.

They are even more densely posted than the small advertisements in the corridor.

From time to time, there was a scratching sound coming from inside the door, and a soft female voice tempted Lin Mo to open the door.

Is Lin Mo the kind of young man who can be easily fooled? Opening the door was impossible, but Lin Mo chatted with the voice inside the door for a while.

At first, Lin Mo pretended to agree to open the door, so the other party was quite enthusiastic and answered all the questions. However, later he found out that Lin Mo had no intention of opening the door at all and was just flirting, so he got angry.

The gentle female voice suddenly turned into a rough male voice, cursing at Lin Mo and banging on the door frantically, trying to break it open.

Lin Mo was also unambiguous and cursed at the ghost inside the door.

The other party can’t come out anyway.

If he wanted to come out, he would have knocked on the door long ago.

He kept scolding until the other party stopped and didn't say anything, and then he left with satisfaction.

The flirting was not a waste of time, at least Lin Mo got some useful information.

Just like the origin of this ghost pavilion.

Another example is some past events about Mr. Chunfeng.

It was quite secretive, and some things were too bizarre, so Lin Mo didn't know whether they were true or false. For example, Mr. Chunfeng built this ghost pavilion because he had selfish motives and wanted to raise ghosts with ghosts.

The ghost that is being raised is Mr. Chunfeng’s.

In addition, there are some that sound even more bizarre.

It is said that this Ghost Pavilion is Mr. Chunfeng's "canteen". Mr. Chunfeng not only wants a long life, he also wants to strengthen himself by devouring powerful ghosts.

Finally, the 'fruit' position is achieved.

In other words, the ghost that Mr. Chunfeng raised might be himself.

Moreover, it is possible that Mr. Chunfeng is still in the Ghost Pavilion.

This sounds a bit exaggerated, but to be honest, it is possible. When Lin Mo first learned about the existence of the Ghost Pavilion, he had similar doubts.

Maybe the ghost behind the door sealed by the talisman was telling the truth.

But it could also be fake.

After all, as the saying goes, ghosts tell lies, so we definitely can’t believe everything ghosts say.

Lin Mo was not very interested in Mr. Chunfeng's affairs. Now there were three paths, two of which were blocked, leaving only the last one.

Lin Mo stepped in, took a few steps forward, and indeed saw the stairs leading upwards.

Voila! Victory is at hand.

The next floor up is the ninth floor.

To be honest, Lin Mo felt that the eighth floor was not as dangerous as he had imagined.

It’s far worse than the fifth and sixth floors.

Compared with the non-existent seventh floor, it is not worth mentioning.

So far, I haven't encountered any serious danger.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Mo saw that there seemed to be two people standing in front of him.

One of them was a woman.

She was wearing jeans, and her legs were quite thin. She was wearing a pink sweater with a high collar and rolled up sleeves, revealing her arms were smooth and white.

Short hair.

He looks familiar.

He also held a large pair of scissors in his hand.

Lin Mo understood. This was the 'woman' that Old Sun had mentioned.

And she looks exactly like Liu Jia in the photo.

It's her.

This time it's correct.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up and he was about to speak.

Liu Jia also saw Lin Mo, but quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Lin Mo swallowed his words back.

Although he didn't say anything, he stepped on a loose wooden board, and the next moment, the board made a sharp creaking sound.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying danger swept over.

Lin Mo's hair stood on end.

Almost at the same time, another figure in the distance appeared behind Lin Mo and puffed.

The sharp knife pierced through Lin Mo's chest.

It looked like he was stabbed from behind.

He drew his sword, blood gushed out, and Lin Mo fell to the ground.

After two pulls, it stopped moving.

Liu Jia's pupils shrank over there. Although she was furious, she did not move.

The figure who assassinated Lin Mo slowly put the knife in his hand into an ancient scabbard.

Looking at this person again, he is clearly a scary ghost.

Its skin was dry and cracked, like a mummy in the desert. It was wearing tattered armor and clothes. Its eyelids were sewn shut with needle and thread, but its ears were trembling at this moment.

Seems to be listening.

This is a ghost with a 'taboo'.

And this taboo is sound.

Just now, Lin Mo stepped on the movable wooden board and made a sound, which violated the taboo and he was killed directly by the ghost.

Now in this area, any sound will bring fatal disaster.

Liu Jia couldn't move at this moment.

Under the taboo, everyone must abide by it, and the other party’s taboo is that if you make a sound, you will die.

This has nothing to do with strength.

This death is inevitable.

She was obviously a little excited at this time, probably because she saw Lin Mo die in front of her.

As a result, at this moment, she narrowed her eyes.

She discovered that Lin Mo, who was already dead on the ground, was now slowly raising his head.
