In the quiet ancient pavilion, beside the decayed staircase that exudes some strange smell, in the dim light, I can vaguely see a pair of pale and bloodless feet on the ground behind me.
The normal reaction of a person is that his brain goes blank, and then fear ruthlessly destroys his rationality.
As for what people will do after their rationality is destroyed, it depends on the individual.
Some people may faint.
Some will wet their pants.
Others will scream loudly.
Lin Mo's eyes lit up and he became excited.
"Oh, there really is a ghost standing behind me. Could it be that he is a relative of Lao Bai?" Lin Mo guessed wildly in his mind.
Mainly ghosts like Lao Bai, they are very rare.
Same as giant pandas.
And look carefully at the pair of feet behind you.
It is obviously not as big as Walter White and is much thinner.
Judging from the length and shape of the toes, it should be a female ghost.
Lin Mo was even happier.
An idea occurred to him.
"If I bring this female ghost back to Lao Bai, will it be very happy?" Once Lin Mo had this thought, he couldn't suppress it.
Although Lao Bai wanted to kill himself, to be honest, Lao Bai really helped Lin Mo a lot.
Mainly because Lao Bai is a ghost with a strong personality.
It will only attack those who turn their heads, that is, those who violate its taboos.
Apart from that, even if you yell at it in front of it or do something even more outrageous, it will ignore you.
That's very good.
Lin Mo likes this kind of ghost with rules the most.
Because it’s controllable.
Thinking of the scene when he took Lao Bai to sweep the building, Lin Mo still remembers it vividly and misses it very much.
Lao Bai represents Lin Mo’s past.
That's a memory.
A feeling.
The thing standing behind him at this moment did not move either.
This shows that it is not the kind of ghost that will pounce on and bite anyone it sees.
Facts have proved that ghosts with taboos are the truly scary ghosts.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo decided to take the initiative to test it out.
There is definitely no way back.
Because the aura of the ghost behind him was very similar to Lao Bai, Lin Mo estimated that the other party's taboo was most likely that he could not turn back.
Even if I were to look back now, I would get my neck broken for breaking the taboo.
Of course, he now has the curse of the undead, so theoretically, he can be resurrected if he dies.
But the curse of the undead is not omnipotent.
The weakness is that it cannot die continuously within a certain period of time.
Otherwise, the candle will be blown out and the candle will be pulled out and die.
If you don't look back, then reach back and touch.
Touch from bottom to top.
So Lin Mo reached back and started touching the other person's ankle.
"This skin is really cold." Lin Mo touched the other person's ankle and muttered.
Just as he had expected, the other person's legs were also thin. He continued to move upwards until he touched the knees.
I feel that I am not short.
Must be a model body.
Keep going upward.
The thighs are also good, a little cold, but the feel is really great.
"Hey, why are you not wearing any clothes!" Lin Mo continued to touch upwards, not knowing what he touched, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Excuse me, I just want to see if you are a man or a woman."
Lin Mo apologized with a smile.
But he did not let go of his hands at all and continued to explore upwards, with an attitude of "there is a mountain ahead and I am not afraid of difficulties and I will move forward courageously."
Lower abdomen, stomach, and then upwards.
Now he was sure that the person standing behind him was a woman.
And he is taller than me.
If given to Walter White, this height would be perfect.
Touch upwards again.
Lin Mo touched the attractive collarbone, which was very nice, indicating that the person had a good figure.
Keep going upward.
Lin Mo wanted to touch the other person's face.
But when I touched the neck, I suddenly felt nothing.
"Huh?"
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then reached out and felt around carefully, and it seemed like he felt a very smooth cut.
You can feel the tendons, muscles and bones above the incision.
He pulled his hand back and looked at it.
No blood.
"No brain?"
If it is a headless ghost, it will be different from Walter White.
But even so, Lin Mo did not look back.
He looked up the stairs.
I thought to myself I'd better not go up.
I guess the two women will have to fight for a while, and I'm leading a naked headless female ghost with me. If they misunderstand me again, I won't be able to explain myself even if I have a lot of mouths.
Lin Mo wanted to find a mirror to look at himself. He remembered that there was one in his cardboard box.
Lin Mo immediately began to look around for his cardboard box.
The female ghost behind him naturally followed closely, almost sticking to Lin Mo.
It goes wherever Lin Mo goes.
Even the steps are exactly the same.
Finding a cardboard box in the corner, Lin Mo bent down and searched for it.
The female ghost behind him also bent over and stuck close to him, like a dog-skin plaster.
This made Lin Mo even more grateful that he did not impulsively bring the female ghost upstairs. What would happen if the jealous people upstairs saw this?
The mirror was found.
Lin Mo picked it up and began to look in the mirror.
The person in the mirror looks the same, no change at all. Maybe it’s because it’s too dark around me, so I can’t see the surrounding environment clearly in the mirror.
It was pitch black.
Adjust the angle and look behind you.
It really is a headless female ghost.
Maybe all the blood in this female ghost's body had been drained, so there were only layers of granulation flesh and broken bones on the broken neck, which looked so white that it seemed unreal.
It looks like a horror-style artwork carved out of jade by a master sculptor.
Although it has no head, it has a really good figure. Walter White must like it very much.
Lin Mo made up his mind and decided to find a way to stuff the female ghost into the box and bring it back to Lvyuan Community.
At this moment, Lin Mo saw from the mirror that there seemed to be something behind the female ghost.
"What is that?"
Lin Mo squinted his eyes and looked carefully.
It seems like a face.
He was looking over here from further back.
Lin Mo looked at the other person in the mirror.
It was hard to describe that face. Because of the dim light, I couldn't see it clearly. It should be a woman, with long hair and no expression. It looked more like a fake face.
At this time, Lin Mo was looking at it, and it was also looking at Lin Mo.
Then, the woman walked out from behind the headless female ghost.
The other person was wearing a bright red robe, full of ancient charm, but his head was tilted, and then he turned and walked back.
Lin Mo's heart moved, and he quickly stepped back with the mirror.
He wanted to see what this thing was.
Apart from this, Lin Mo didn't hear any sound or footsteps.
And in the mirror, the surrounding environment seems to be different.
At the back, there is a staircase leading upwards.
Now here comes the question.
The real staircase was in front of Lin Mo. There was no staircase behind him. Moreover, Lin Mo had seen the environment here before and there was no second staircase.
But in the mirror, there is.
Moreover, Lin Mo saw with his own eyes that the woman in the red robe-like clothes walked up the stairs with her head tilted and stiff steps.
Lin Mo continued to retreat.
He retreated, and the headless female ghost also retreated, but they retreated all the way to the wall and did not touch any stairs or anything else.
Lin Mo was a well-informed man, and he immediately realized a possibility.
“There are two layers of the world. The one I am in and what I see with a normal perspective is one layer; and the one I see reflected in the mirror is another layer.”
Lin Mo had encountered similar situations before.
Most of the time, it occurs in events related to Xi Wenjun.
After all, Xi Wenjun is a horrible nightmare living in the mirror.
A female nightmare that does not exist in the normal nightmare world.
Because of these experiences, Lin Mo was able to immediately think of this possibility.
At this moment, Lin Mo recalled carefully. He had gone all the way up the entire Ghost Pavilion from the first floor to the ninth floor, and had never seen a mirror here.
There is no bronze mirror either.
There is no water either.
Perhaps this is not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose to hide the truth that there are two strange worlds here.
Obviously, Lin Mo met him by chance this time.
If it weren't for the headless female ghost behind him, he wouldn't have thought of getting a mirror to look at himself.
What Lin Mo was thinking was that if there was a mirror world, then it might be related to the sudden disappearance of the ghost bell.
At least, this is a direction that can be explored and investigated.
As for the original Ghost Pavilion, Liu Jia had said before that she had searched everywhere she could and found nothing.
We need to hurry up on this matter.
Lin Mo didn't care whether the two men above had finished fighting or not, and immediately ran to the stairs and walked up.
The headless female ghost also caught up.
On the ninth floor, there were black skirts everywhere, but some of them were cut into pieces, revealing some open space.
Not far away, Xiaoyu and Liu Jia were wrestling, grabbing each other's wrists.
Lin Mo asked them to stop fighting.
"Let's do business first. Xiaoyu, help me hold down the ghost behind me. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will twist my neck." Lin Mo called out.
Xiaoyu and Liujia didn't listen.
Still fighting.
Lin Mo was also angry and went up to force the two women apart.
I'll just say that if you two keep fighting, I'll leave, and you can stay here and fight as long as you want. Besides, no one can kill the other, so it's better to stop fighting first. Also, even in a boxing match, there is a halftime break. Aren't you tired of fighting endlessly without killing anyone?
Perhaps thinking that what Lin Mo said made sense, Liu Jia let go first.
Xiaoyu was still relatively obedient, and she took back the black skirt that covered her.
Speaking of which, Xiaoyu's skirt was cut into pieces by Liu Jia, exposing her thighs.
Liu Jia certainly didn't gain any advantage. Her jeans were torn in several places, especially her sweater, which was torn open at the belly, revealing her belly.
Only then did they discover the headless female ghost following Lin Mo.
Seeing the naked and seductive headless female ghost, Liu Jia and Xiao Yu were so angry that they finally found a place to vent their anger.
Hold it down and beat it.
But the headless female ghost is also powerful.
Although his head was gone, his melee ability was at the same level as Lao Bai. In a one-on-two fight, he actually fought quite well at the beginning, but two fists could not beat four hands, and he was eventually subdued by Xiaoyu and Liu Jia.
Liu Jia said that she had seen this headless female ghost before, on the eighth floor, and she was the one who cut off her head.
"I didn't expect it to be alive. Because it had no head, it could no longer tell stories. So, I couldn't do anything about it. Whenever I saw it on weekdays, I would try to hide from it." Liu Jia said.
Then he looked at Lin Mo and asked how you attracted it.
"How would I know? I just went down there to get some peace and quiet, and I didn't know when this guy stood behind me." Lin Mo asked Liu Jia if this ghost also had any taboos.
Liu Jia said yes, and said there are ghosts on all eight levels.
"Is it impossible to turn around behind it?" Lin Mo asked again.
Liu Jia said you were twisted? It looks like you were.
"But its taboo cannot be triggered. Its head is gone. It can't see you whether you turn your head or not." Liu Jia spread his hands.
Lin Mo finally reacted.
He actually twisted in front of the headless female ghost and found that there was nothing wrong with him.
"It seems that sight is a weakness for ghosts like Lao Bai. If they can't see, this taboo won't be triggered."
At this moment, the headless female ghost was tied up with cursed iron chains.
No matter what, Lin Mo wanted to bring this female ghost back to keep Lao Bai company.
Put it in the cardboard box first.
Next, Lin Mo talked about the strange red-robed female ghost in the mirror.
He also talked about stairs that only existed in the mirror.
Liu Jia shook his head and said that there were no such ghosts in the Ghost Pavilion.
Lin Mo asked her to think about it carefully and recall the past.
"Definitely not. For five years, I have come up here every day to ring the bell and then go down again. I have seen every ghost in the Ghost Pavilion."
"As for the staircase hidden in the mirror, I really don't know about that. There are no mirrors in the ghost pavilion."
Lin Mo took out a round mirror and let her look at herself.
The nine layers in the mirror were pitch black, and nothing was found.
So Lin Mo asked Liu Jia to go to the eighth floor to take another look.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Mo asked Xiaoyu to go back to the pencil first.
Liu Jia also saw Lin Mo's little action, but this time she didn't say anything. No one knew what she was thinking. Maybe she felt that since they were evenly matched, it would be better to turn a blind eye.
In fact, Liu Jia never mentioned Xiaoyu again after that.
It was as if what happened before had never happened at all.
On the eighth floor, Liu Jia used the mirror to check again and found that there was indeed another staircase leading upwards. He was also surprised when he saw it.
"I've been here for five years and had no idea these things were hidden." After Liu Jia finished speaking, he suggested going to take a look, and Lin Mo suggested the same thing.
It is possible that the ghost bell is up there.
But the problem is that it is in the mirror, but not where they are.
If you want to go up, you have to go to the mirror first.
Lin Mo said, it would be great if Sister Wenjun was here. With Sister Wenjun here, entering the mirror would be no problem at all.
Liu Jia turned her head and stared at Lin Mo, asking who Sister Wenjun was.
Lin Mo covered his face!
Careless! Fortunately, Lin Mo casually said that she was already married, which made Liu Jia change her target.
But Liu Jia didn't know that Xi Wenjun not only married one person, but also married many people, and all her grooms were skinned by her own hands.
Forget it, forget it, let’s not bring this up for now.
Anyone who has nothing to do is looking for trouble.
It is better to focus on the present and find the ghost bell first.
As for how to enter the mirror world, Lin Mo said that the best way is to let the "ghost" in the mirror pull them in.
Liu Jia agreed with this approach.
Next, Lin Mo and Liu Jia held up the mirror and started walking around the world.
They want to find the kind of ghost that doesn't exist outside but only exists in the mirror, and then find a way to negotiate with the other party and pull them in.
The eighth floor is full of forbidden ghosts, which is a bit dangerous. Fortunately, Liu Jia is familiar with the forbidden ghosts on the eighth floor, and at least knows their taboos.
No matter what the matter is, as long as there is an experienced person to guide you, it will become relatively easy.
In Ghost Pavilion, Liu Jia is the old driver.
When the old driver saw that Lin Mo had Lin Yuan's official seal in his hand, he was very happy and asked for it.
"With this thing, it's much easier to do some things."
Lin Mo was also in awe when he saw it. He just used this official seal for show. Even if he made Chou Chou the Ghost King, it was just an accident.
Obviously, Liu Jia knows how to use this thing. In her hands, it should be able to play a greater role.
As a result, Liu Jia turned around and took the official seal to beat up a taboo ghost, saying that she had been bullied by this ghost before, and the ghost scolded her all night long because of a special room that no one else could enter. And in addition to the ghost, anyone with the official seal could enter that room.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mo felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been so careless and given the thing to Liu Jia so easily.
Fortunately, Liu Jia started to get down to business next.
In a corner on the eighth floor, they found a ghost that existed only in the mirror.
This made the two of them very happy.
The ghost was originally lying on the wall motionless. After confirming that it was in the mirror but not outside, Lin Mo and Liu Jia began to think of ways to communicate with the ghost.
Spoken, no response.
I tried to touch it, but couldn't find it.
Liu Jia was at a loss for a moment, so she asked Lin Mo if he had any good ideas.
Lin Mo saw that the ghost in the mirror was relatively small, so he initially judged that it was a little ghost.
"The little ghost is also a child. Children of this age like to play. So, let's play a game and see if we can trick it."
Liu Jia said that your idea is good.
"What to play then?"
"123, wooden man, simple and direct!"
"OK!"
In the first round, Liu Jia said she was counting in front and Lin Mo was walking behind.
Of course, each of them took a mirror to observe the little ghost lying on the wall behind them.
"123, wooden man!" Following Liu Jia's voice, Lin Mo walked forward step by step.
The two of them were playing quite seriously.
And it really works.
After the first game, I observed through the mirror that the little devil at the back was obviously startled. He turned his head, waiting for a pair of terrifying eyes to look at him.
“It works!”
Lin Mo and Liu Jia exchanged glances.
"make persistent efforts!"
"Just watch!"
This time, people were replaced, with Lin Mo standing in the front and Liu Jia acting as a wooden man below.
Similarly, the two people observed the movements of the little ghost over there through the mirror.
The other party was indeed attracted, and after Lin Mo shouted "123 Wooden Man" once, this guy had already climbed down from the wall, on all fours, and when Lin Mo turned around, he stood still.
So you're getting involved? Not bad, there's a future.
Next, Lin Mo shouted, turned around and secretly observed with a mirror.
When Lin Mo's back is turned, the little ghost will sneak forward with Liu Jia. When Lin Mo finishes shouting and looks back, it will stop with Liu Jia.
That's good.
Lin Mo shouted again, and when he looked back, he found that the little ghost was no longer visible in the mirror.
The other party disappeared.
What's going on?
Lin Mo was stunned.
Over there, Liu Jia adjusted the angle of the mirror, and suddenly, she saw this scene. Then she gestured and winked at Lin Mo, and finally couldn't help but said, "It's on your back!"
Lin Mo raised the mirror and adjusted the angle.
Sure enough, the little ghost was lying on his back.
