In the dark and silent maze, Lin Mo felt the other five small hands holding his own. The touch made him wonder for a moment.

"What on earth is going on?"

The five little hands were icy cold, with a chill that penetrated to the bones.

Just like ice cubes.

Obviously, only one of these little hands was Xiaoyu, so where did the other four come from? It was mainly too dark to see clearly.

Lin Mo wanted to hammer the brick, but then he changed his mind and decided not to be impatient.

You must first figure out what your purpose is.

The main purpose, of course, is to find the exit of the maze and figure out the secret of this place. It would be best to find Mo Wenting who led him in and ask her about it.

To be honest, Lin Mo felt that each of these tasks was very difficult and challenging, and it would be difficult for him to accomplish them alone.

That's why he thought of asking Xiaoyu for help before.

If we follow this line of thought, then now there are four more pencils and four little hands, doesn’t that mean there are four more pen fairies?

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. With Xiaoyu, there are five pen spirits. If they are used to predict, will they be more powerful and more accurate?

Suddenly, Lin Mo's anticipation was filled with excitement.

He smiled and whispered, "Xiaoyu, who are you? By the way, you can't talk. If it's you, just hook the back of my hand with your finger."

After all, there are five young hands, and Lin Mo has to first determine which one is Xiaoyu.

You know what, it feels quite exciting.

But what Lin Mo didn't expect was that five little hands hooked the back of his hand with their fingers almost at the same time.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mo frowned. There was only one Xiaoyu here, so why were the other four joining in the fun? "Others, don't make trouble. We are doing business here!" Lin Mo said. The five little hands didn't react. Lin Mo said again, "Xiaoyu, if it were you, squeeze my hand."

As a result, five little hands pinched together.

Lin Mo was also speechless.

Is this Xiaoyu also pretending to be someone else?

But then again, Xiaoyu hasn't attacked the other four impostors yet. What does this mean?

This means that Xiaoyu knew that the four impostors might not have any ill intentions and would not do anything to harm her, so she did not take any action.

Lin Mo trusts Xiaoyu 100%.

Since Xiaoyu didn't move, Lin Mo certainly wouldn't move either.

Besides, if the five pen fairies predict together, the result will definitely be accurate. Lin Mo is looking forward to it now.

So Lin Mo didn't care about other things. If there were any questions, he would ask first.

Five pen fairies are coming together to fight you. Are you afraid?

Lin Mo thought about it at this time, and asked: "Well, five pen fairy sisters, I want to ask, where is the exit of this maze."

As soon as he asked this question, Lin Mo felt those five little hands starting to exert force, probably wanting to write.

But you have to know that it may be a bit difficult to coordinate five hands to write.

So Lin Mo felt that his hands were being pulled all over the place, and the tip of the pen on the paper was like the trajectory of a figure skater on the ice, pulling back and forth, a bit casually, and with a hint of the wildness and unruliness of an artist.

Lin Mo doubted what kind of text could be written with this.

Could it be that they were just scribbling? Perhaps the five pen fairies also realized that it was not working, so they seemed to have some kind of communication. This communication was silent, and Lin Mo couldn't hear or feel it anyway.

But the result was that the five little hands stopped pulling, but were controlled by one hand respectively, and wrote a few words on the paper. Then, they started a new line and the other hand controlled another line of words.

Lin Mo understood.

This is a compromise between the five pen fairies. That is to say, you write yours and I write mine, so we don't disturb each other.

Okay, okay.

In this way, Lin Mo will get five answers and can then identify them.

It is said that more people means easier work, and when these five pen spirits hold a meeting, their efficiency is high.

Lin Mo couldn't wait to see the results.

After the five pen fairies had finished writing, Lin Mo said, "Wait a moment, I'll light a fire and take a closer look at what you have written."

Lin Mo then pulled out a brick hammer with his other hand and shook it.

Whoosh! Flames burst into flames.

Lin Mo instantly arrived at that strange open space. There was nothing here except Lin Mo himself. The five pen fairies did not exist.

Originally Lin Mo wanted to take a look at what they looked like, but now it seems that is not possible.

Lin Mo held the diary in his hand. He moved closer, illuminated it with the flame, and looked carefully at the words on it.

I have to say here that the maze is a very strange place. It seems to have a strong suppressing effect on all light sources. So even if Lin Mo is hammering bricks and flames are surging, the actual light source effect is much worse than under normal circumstances. It is only one-fifth of the usual lighting effect, or maybe even less.

As a result, not only is the surrounding light not very clear, but even to read the words on the diary, you need to get very close to see them clearly.

The first thing Lin Mo saw was the first scribbled lines on the page. This was the result of the five pen fairies fighting for control of the pencil.

And within the lines, there are five lines of small characters written.

The first line reads: I don’t know either!

The second line reads: If I knew, I would have left long ago! The third line reads: Take me out and let me do anything! The fourth line reads: I want to eat you so much, I can’t bear it anymore!

The fifth line reads: Die, die, die!

Lin Mo was stunned.

What a mess.

Each one is more unreliable than the other. It's fine if they don't know, but they want to eat people? Are they mentally ill?

That's not right! Lin Mo suddenly realized.

This is definitely not normal.

He looked at the five lines of characters carefully, which represented the answers of the five pen fairies, but the problem was that none of these five looked like they were written by Xiaoyu.

There is no need to ask about the last three. Just from the text content, you can tell that they are not Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu would not communicate with herself in such a scary tone.

As for the second one, that’s not the case either, because Xiaoyu wouldn’t say something like “I went out a long time ago”. Only the ghosts trapped here would say that.

Judging from the tone of the first one, it is possible that it was written by Xiaoyu.

But Lin Mo had seen Xiaoyu's handwriting countless times.

The handwriting is wrong.

Xiaoyu's handwriting is very delicate and playful, and it is very comfortable to read. However, judging from the handwriting, this line of words is definitely not written by Xiaoyu. It is more straight, horizontally and vertically straight, and very stiff.

Lin Mo touched his chin.

"Could it be that among the five of them, none of them is Xiaoyu?"

Lin Mo took a breath.

"Where did Xiaoyu go?"

Lin Mo suddenly became a little anxious. He immediately blew out the flame and instantly entered the maze.

He called Xiaoyu softly again.

Snap, snap, snap! Five little hands came up again.

But the feeling this time is completely different from the first time.

Last time, Lin Mo thought that Xiaoyu was among the five little hands, so he felt very at ease. But this time, he already knew that none of the five pen fairies was Xiaoyu.

This is not pleasant.

It's not that I dislike it, I just feel uncomfortable.

“I ask you, who are you?”

Five little hands started fighting for the pencil again.

"Come one by one, don't be in a hurry." Lin Mo said softly. While he was speaking, he was also thinking about what went wrong and why he actually lost Xiaoyu.

While I was thinking about it, the five pen spirits had already finished writing.

Lin Mo lit the fire again to check.

There are five names written on the book.

An unfamiliar name.

None of them is Chu Yu.

Lin Mo's guess was confirmed.

"Wait a minute, I need to be quiet and think about what's going on."

Lin Mo did not put out the fire immediately. He felt that the current situation was a bit confusing and he had to sort it out.

Soon he figured it out.

Xiaoyu is the pen fairy.

The Pen Fairy has its own characteristics. If you want her to appear, you need to hold her pencil yourself.

Before that, when he took out the pencil, it was knocked off by something and fell on the ground in the maze, so he had to search in the dark to find the other five pencils.

In other words, the five pencils in his hand right now are not Xiaoyu's pencils.

"There is such a thing?"

Lin Mo cursed and immediately blew out the flame.

For now, he can put everything else aside. The most important thing for him is to find Xiaoyu first.

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Look what happened. I actually lost you!" Lin Mo was almost crying.

But he also knew that he should not be anxious at times like this.

He had to stay calm.

Calm down and look for it.

As for the five pencils in his hand, Lin Mo originally wanted to throw them away, but then he thought that he could pick them up again after throwing them away, so he couldn't throw them away now.

Even if I want to throw it away, I have to wait until I find Xiaoyu's pencil.

Of course, Lin Mo was also wondering, what kind of place is this, why are there so many pen spirits? Putting the five pencils into his pocket, Lin Mo lay on the ground and began to feel around inch by inch, searching inch by inch.

Lin Mo was still mumbling while searching.

The sound seemed even more terrifying in this quiet and eerie place, almost like calling the soul.

But Lin Mo himself doesn't think so.

It feels very uncomfortable to lie on the ground and touch things, because you can't see, so you have no idea of ​​the direction and location, and you might touch anything.

Lin Mo touched something strange.

If these weird things were to be ranked, several of them might be eligible to compete for the top spots. For example, Lin Mo found a dead rat.

The moment he touched this thing, Lin Mo was very calm, even his hair didn't stand up.

The main reason was that Lin Mo thought the rat was pretending to be dead, so he grabbed it with one hand. This is called striking first to gain the upper hand, to prevent the rat from suddenly opening its mouth to bite him.

But it turned out that Lin Mo was overthinking.

This is a dead mouse. After making sure that it was really dead and motionless, Lin Mo said sorry embarrassedly.

"You're the one who caused the incident. I'm sorry. I squeezed the shit out of you. It was definitely my fault."

Lin Mo said politely.

In addition to the dead mouse, he also found a shoe.

I don’t know which bastard lost it in a panic, and it’s a pair of high-heeled shoes. I don’t know the color because I can’t see it, but the heel is quite high.

Anyone who can wear these shoes must have very long legs.

But it’s definitely not Xiaoyu’s.

Because Xiaoyu was barefoot, she didn't wear shoes.

Lin Mo was very sure of this because he had seen skirts lifted before.

Throwing the high heels aside, the sound of the shoes hitting the ground was not loud, but it still seemed very abrupt in the quiet environment.

The next moment, Lin Mo heard footsteps coming from a distance.

Clap, clap, clap.

It sounded like bare feet walking, but soon, the footsteps stopped.

It seemed as if the other party was trying to determine the direction of the sound.

Lin Mo thought, was this another thing that was accidentally attracted here? No matter what it is, we must be on guard.

And because he knew that there was something not far away with its ears perked up and listening carefully to the noise, Lin Mo was more careful in his next actions.

Lin Mo gently stroked the ground with his fingers, slowly turned his arms, and then moved forward little by little.

Faintly, Lin Mo heard some rustling sounds around him.

At first Lin Mo didn't know what the sound was, until he touched another groping hand, he knew what it was.

There was someone like him, lying on the ground looking for something.

The moment the two hands touched, they simultaneously retracted.

Lin Mo immediately grasped the bone spur knife in his hand, and then stabbed forward without hesitation. Almost at the same time, a strong wind came from the front.

Stabbed in the chest.

All this happened in just a moment. Lin Mo dodged to the side and then reached out to pull out the dagger from his chest.

It felt like a fruit knife, the blade was not long, and because Lin Mo activated the steel curse in time, the knife only penetrated halfway.

This kind of injury is nothing to Lin Mo now.

In the darkness, Lin Mo didn't make any sound, but he could hear something gurgling not far away.

But soon there was no movement.

Lin Mo groped his way over in the dark, first touched blood on the ground, and then touched a corpse.

The other person's neck was pierced by a bone spur.

It was obviously done by Lin Mo just now.

In other words, at the same moment when Lin Mo attacked, the opponent also launched an attack, but this guy was unlucky. Although he stabbed Lin Mo, the injury was not fatal to Lin Mo. Instead, it was Lin Mo's bone spur that took his life.

After further touching, Lin Mo confirmed that the other person was a man.

He has a strong body, a bald head, and a face full of fat.

The teeth are sharp and feel like they have mutated.

The nostrils are very large.

The eye sockets are empty and the eyeballs seem to be stuck out.

In other words, the person he just stabbed to death was a blind man?

However, in the dark dimension, the blind are the most advantageous group because their hearing is more sensitive.

Lin Mo felt that he was really lucky.

It was obvious that the other party stabbed me first. If it were me, but if it were someone else, the situation would have been life and death.

Groping and frisking.

Lin Mo discovered that the other person was not wearing any clothes either.

Fortunately, he didn't take off all his clothes, and still had his pants on.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo knew what was going on.

No matter what clothes you wear, there may be friction when walking, and friction will make noise, so the real experienced drivers in the maze are all naked.

This is professional enough.

Lin Mo thought, what if he took off his clothes too? He shook his head quickly. This was definitely not possible. Clothes have pockets and can hold things. How could they be taken off? Besides, he was not an exhibitionist.

This instant killing once again told Lin Mo the cruelty of this dark maze.

The two parties may not know each other at all, or have never met each other, but as long as they meet in this darkness, they will choose to attack first in order to protect themselves.

Because no one is willing to pin their chances of survival on the kindness of others.

The dagger was too short, so Lin Mo didn't want it anymore. He pulled out the bone spur. This thing was very powerful and basically indestructible, so he had to keep it.

Continue to crawl on the ground to look for Xiaoyu.

But this time, Lin Mo couldn't find Xiaoyu's pencil after searching for a long time.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Mo is a little panicked now.

There are very few things in this world that can make Lin Mo panic, but at this moment, now, when he realized that he had accidentally lost Xiaoyu, Lin Mo panicked.

The panic came extremely suddenly, like an overwhelming tidal wave, and it was impossible to resist it.

For a moment, I felt lost, uneasy, anxious, flustered, and my palms were sweaty.

Lin Mo was sure that he had searched very carefully just now, and could say that he had searched everywhere around. Even if the pencil rolled several meters or even more than ten meters away, he should have found it.

But he didn't find it.

Maybe it was taken away by someone else?

When Lin Mo thought of this possibility, he felt very disappointed. It was like his own cabbages being eaten by pigs. He became even more panicked.

You know what, it's really possible.

This place is pitch black. Based on Lin Mo's experience in the past hour, he encountered two enemies alone. Who can guarantee that there are no other things lurking, walking, and groping around quietly?

When you are in a dark room, you actually have no idea how many people are in the room.

If I say there is not one person, you will believe it. If I say there are a dozen or even dozens of people, you will also believe it.

Because you can't see it.

After being deprived of vision, you can only rely on the passive perception ability of hearing. As long as the other party does not make a sound, it does not exist to you.

Lin Mo is not a creature like a bat that can actively emit sound waves and obtain sound wave feedback. If it were that, it would be much easier.

Wait, bats?

Lin Mo suddenly had an idea at this moment.

"When you think of bats, what do you naturally think of? Vampires. I have a vampire curse, so can I dig out something from it?"

Lin Mo is a person with ideas and imagination, and he has a strong ability to associate. It is mainly because he is forced to this point.

In this situation, we can only prepare for the worst case scenario, which is that Xiaoyu was picked up by someone.

Xiaoyu had fought with Liu Jia before, and her condition was not good at that time. Lin Mo thought that Xiaoyu was in a period of fatigue, after all, she had devoured a ghost king-level existence before.

Although it did not trigger the fourth transformation, it felt almost the same.

Maybe Xiaoyu has fallen asleep.

What a beast! I don’t know which wicked guy abducted Xiaoyu while she was sleeping. If Lin Mo knew about this, he would definitely skin that guy alive.

His skinning curse is now ready to take effect.

Xiaoyu must be found, this is a must, and there is no room for negotiation with Lin Mo.

But in his current blind state, it is questionable whether he can get out of this area. Lin Mo is a newcomer in the maze. If he has to slowly explore to get familiar with the routine here, it is unknown when he can find Xiaoyu.

Therefore, Lin Mo has only one way, which is to find another way.

"Vampires are also bats, so there's no reason why vampires shouldn't have the abilities of bats."

This is the solution Lin Mo came up with after racking his brains.

He wanted to explore the potential of this curse.

But before that, Lin Mo thought of another way.

He took out the five pencils he had found from his hip pocket.

"You guys come out."

Lin Mo called out the names of these pen fairies, and all of a sudden, five cold little hands rested on Lin Mo's hands.

"Let me ask you, do you know where Xiaoyu is?"

This is Lin Mo's problem.

If it's a little difficult for them to find the exit of the maze, then the next best thing is to see if they know where Xiaoyu is.

Lin Mo felt that if he couldn't even predict such a small thing, he might as well break these pencils and throw them away.

It's garbage, there's no point in keeping it.
