The main thing is that he didn't intend to kill the other person.

He's completely dead, how can I still ask questions?

Lin Mo felt that the problem definitely did not lie with him.

"Hachi!"

"I'm here!" Xiao Ba came over from the side and said in a submissive tone.

"Did you do anything just now?"

"It moved, poked it twice, and strangled it once."

Lin Mo reached behind him again, wanting to catch the Tooth Ghost and ask him something, but the guy couldn't hear anything and didn't respond when he called him, so he had to give up.

"Can you be gentler? How can you interrogate me when he's already dead? If anything goes wrong next time, I'll kill both of you." Lin Mo threatened.

Xiao Ba must have heard it.

The Tooth Ghost most likely didn't hear anything. This guy is really like a dog. He will bite whoever Lin Mo hits. No one knows what's going on in this guy's mind.

Lin Mo didn't say more. After all, it was just an insignificant ghost who died.

There are many evil spirits in any level of the maze, some are timid, some are rampant, and some are smart and know how to endure.

But no matter which type it is, once caught by Lin Mo, there are basically two outcomes.

Those who follow me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!

A few hours later, seven terrifying maze ghosts had gathered around Lin Mo.

In addition to Xiaoba, Yagui and Radio, there are four other new members.

Lin Mo called them 'hair', 'nails', 'tongue' and 'thousand hands'.

These four ghosts each have their own characteristics.

Hair, it really is a large ball of hair, carrying horrible resentment and malice, it can make sounds by vibrating the hair, and it can even communicate.

This is the evil spirit that joined Lin Mo the fastest.

After some persuasion from Radio and Xiao Ba, Hair joined in.

Of course loyalty is not guaranteed.

As for the 'nails', it was a stiff corpse with very long nails on both hands, which felt about a foot long.

So Lin Mo gave it this name.

The nails are not very talkative, similar to the tooth ghost. Anyway, they just follow you for no apparent reason and have no ill intentions. They will help you as soon as possible when you encounter trouble.

He is a natural born thug.

Compared to the first two, tongue and thousand hands are very good at speaking.

The tongue is a long tongue that can extend outward for more than ten meters. When Lin Mo first touched it, the feeling made the knowledgeable Lin Mo couldn't help but get goose bumps.

But this guy was very talkative and assured Lin Mo that he had seen Mo Wenting before.

'Thousand Hands' is the last ghost to follow Lin Mo. He is a strange monster made up of countless hands. When you touch it, it feels like a ball covered with hands.

But this thing can talk.

It said the same thing as the tongue, both claiming to have seen Mo Wenting.

“That woman is horrible.”

"Yes, she is very scary. I have seen her more than once. The hatred she exudes makes us feel uncomfortable even if we are just close to her."

Lin Mo caught an obvious problem in Tongue and Thousand Hands' words.

"You just said you saw it? How did you see it?"

The tongue says it has eyes.

Qianshou said that it also has eyes.

"Am I talking about whether there is a problem with your eyes? I mean, there is no light here, how do you see?"

"There is light around that woman." This time, Tongue and Thousand Hands said in unison.

This was definitely an unexpected discovery.

There is light around Mo Wenting?

But in a dark maze, isn't it impossible for any light to exist? Lin Mo's first reaction was that the two ghosts were lying.

But after being asked again, Tongue and Thousand Hands still swore solemnly that if they lied, their souls would be immediately shattered and they would never be reborn.

Considering that the oath was very poisonous, Lin Mo believed it for the time being.

Ask for details again.

Qianshou said that its eyesight was not very good, and it could only see the general idea but not the details.

Tongue could see it clearly, and he said that the light beside Mo Wenting looked like a candle.

But the person holding the candle was not Mo Wenting, but someone else.

The other person hid behind the light and only half of his body could be seen.

"By the way, the woman also said something to the man holding the candle. She called him."

"What's your name?" Lin Mo was very curious now.

"grandmother!"

…

Although Mo Wenting has not been found yet, Lin Mo has obtained a lot of valuable information and clues by visiting the ghosts in the maze.

First of all, it is almost certain that the person who took Xiaoyu's pencil was Mo Wenting.

And the other party is not alone.

Her grandmother was there too.

Lin Mo remembered that Liu Jia and Wang Xiaoli said that Mo Wenting took leave to go back to the countryside to attend the funeral of her grandmother who had passed away. When she came back, she seemed like a different person, and that's why those strange things happened.

If we follow this line of reasoning, then there must be something wrong with Mo Wenting's grandmother.

At least, not ordinary people.

In addition, the "tongue" swore that it saw someone holding something next to Mo Wenting, and also heard Mo Wenting call it "Grandma". This basically confirms that the person holding a lit candle in the maze is Mo Wenting's grandmother.

However, Tongue didn't hear the 'grandma' speak, so other than that, there is no more evidence to prove this.

Lin Mo was not excited or thrilled by the constant new discoveries.

He still needs to proceed step by step and continue to act according to his plan.

He had made up his mind that no matter how long it took, he would need to search the maze level by level.

Therefore, the next period of time was destined to be boring and somewhat torturous, but there was no way, the reality dictated that he had to do so.

The number of ghosts around him was also slowly increasing.

A few hours later, after Lin Mo passed through the wooden door of the wall of spikes twice, there were two more ghosts around Lin Mo.

Now there are nine ghosts.

Lin Mo was too lazy to name the two additional ghosts. He was not as serious about recruiting younger brothers as he was at the beginning. The main reason was that he already had enough ghosts around him.

Along the way, I basically crushed the local tyrants on every level I encountered.

There were also those who refused to accept the defeat, but the result was that they were attacked and killed by the nine ghosts, and Lin Mo didn't even need to do it himself. What does this mean? It means that there was no one in the maze who knew how to form gangs. If there was one, they would have formed a considerable force in this place.

Unfortunately, ghosts are often suspicious of each other, and their dark personalities prevent them from trusting each other.

It is because of this bond that they have this person as a link, otherwise these nine ghosts would still be a group of scattered sand.

And even with himself, Lin Mo discovered that the nine ghosts were actually scheming against each other.

Of course, hair and tooth ghosts are not included.

These two are very special.

Not to mention the tooth ghost, it can’t see, hear, or speak. It was just beaten up badly by Lin Mo before, and until now, Lin Mo still doesn’t know why it followed him.

The hair was similar. Although they could communicate, they joined his camp very quickly. At the beginning, Lin Mo was quite wary of the hair.

But later on he discovered that during several fights, his hair provided him with extra protection. Although his hair was full of resentment and malice, it had never been directed at him.

It's more like a little kid.

Children don’t need a reason to like someone, it’s all based on their feelings.

At this moment, a few strands of hair were entangled on Lin Mo's fingers, and kept wriggling. When Lin Mo had nothing to do, he rubbed it, and it felt pretty good.

Lin Mo found the wall of spikes again, opened the door and walked in, and a large group of ghosts followed Lin Mo in.

However, after entering a new level, the sound of the tooth ghost grinding its teeth began to sound.

Crunch.

It makes people's scalp tingle.

Lin Mo squatted down, reached out and fumbled for a while, and found the tooth ghost.

"What's going on? Why are you grinding your teeth?"

Tooth Ghost didn't understand, but was still grinding his teeth, as if he wanted to tell Lin Mo something.

At this time, Xiao Ba came over.

At this moment, its broken snake-like tentacles have grown out, and it has regained its majestic eight-legged posture.

"Brother, I know what Fanggui is going to say. This floor seems to be the same maze we were in before."

Lin Mo understood.

To verify, Xiao Ba found a cave where it had hidden before.

After walking this distance, they unexpectedly returned to their original starting point.

It's like walking in a circle.

The reason why Tooth Ghost was grinding his teeth excitedly just now must be because of this reason.

This floor is its nest.

Moreover, Tooth Ghost was the first to notice it, which shows that this guy's perception ability is really evil.

Could it be that what Xiao Ba said was true? Did the Tooth Ghost really have some special, unknown predictive ability?

Now the problem is quite serious. Lin Mo remembered clearly that he had passed through at least seven wooden doors before, not dozens of them, but ended up back at the starting level. According to this rule, he would never be able to get out even if he walked for his entire life.

Basically, it is a cycle of seven levels.

Moreover, Lin Mo felt that this pattern was not fixed. If it was fixed, only seven layers of maze would be enough to form an endless loop, but Mo Wenting had drawn dozens of them in her notebook before.

So Lin Mo would rather believe that this law changes based on something.

Take time for example.

If the exit cannot be found within a certain period of time, then one will enter an endless loop of seven levels. However, if a certain time standard is reached, one can break through this loop and enter the next level.

There is no other way to verify this guess except to try it yourself.

Fortunately, the nine ghosts that Lin Mo brought were basically found from these seven layers. They may not be familiar with other layers, but they are relatively familiar with their own layer.

So Lin Mo sped up the time this time and found this layer of the spiked wall in less than ten minutes.

Open the door and enter.

Keep looking.

By the time he reached the seventh floor, Lin Mo had taken five or six times longer than before, basically finishing the journey in just over an hour.

This time when they opened the wooden door of the seventh floor, Tooth Ghost did not grind his teeth, and Xiao Ba also said that this was no longer the floor they were on.

In other words, they successfully broke out of the seven-layer loop.

To be honest, this setting is quite tricky. If you can't figure it out, or even can't be sure if you have been to this level before, it is basically impossible to find the key points.

If you can't find the key point, you may end up exploring endlessly in the seven-layer cycle.

But Lin Mo was luckier.

He found a large group of younger brothers, who were selected from each level, so in terms of familiarity with the terrain, Lin Mo had achieved the best of everyone and combined them in one person.

This is the only way to escape from the seven-level maze loop.

Looking back, it was indeed luck. If he had found fewer followers, this plan might not have succeeded.

This is not good luck.

Lin Mo was very happy to enter a new level of the maze, and the gang of ghost brothers behind him were also very excited.

Keep exploring.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps accompanied by a faint light appeared from a distance.

Lin Mo's pupils shrank.

Having been in the dark for a long time, he had become accustomed to the pitch-black darkness. Although there was only a hint of light in the distance, and it was very weak, he still couldn't help but squint his eyes.

At this moment, the two ghosts, Tongue and Thousand Hands, made a sound.

"It's that woman!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Mo Wenting? Good fellow, I finally caught you. This is what we call "finding something without any effort after searching for it for a long time".

"Brothers, follow me!"

Lin Mo held the bone spur and rushed towards the faint light in front.

Whether the ghosts were willing or not, they had no choice but to follow at this time.

The distance is getting closer.

Because of the light, Lin Mo could vaguely see some of his surroundings.

The maze is shorter than I thought, and there are several ghosts following me around, which looks really ugly.

I didn’t notice it when it was dark, but now that there’s light, I find that it’s different from what I thought.

Take the Thousand Hands ghost for example. It looks like the fucking coronavirus, but a larger version. It rolls on the ground with its hands and runs quite fast.

The tongue of this guy is really long, and he is actually bald.

The nails are also quite ugly, the face is very long, almost like a donkey's face, and the nails are really long, and it seems that they are painted with nail polish.

It's so dark, how did they paint it?

The hair rolled on the ceiling, all black.

What Lin Mo was most curious about was what the ghost looked like.

Looking back, wow, it’s not what I thought.

This is a person who walks on all fours, and he doesn't look like a dog. He has no eyes on his head, only a mouth that looks like a sunflower.

There are teeth in it.

The distance is closer.

Lin Mo could already see a person holding a candle in front of him.

But there was only one person.

He was hunched over and not very tall. He had obviously noticed the group of ghosts rushing over here and was stunned where he was.

The next moment, the other party made a surprising move.

The other person took out a bottle from somewhere, took a sip of liquid of unknown substance, and then sprayed it towards the candle.

The next moment.

Waves of fire surged, and a ball of fire like a fire dragon swept over.

The hair that was in the front was burned completely.

A miserable cry was let out.

But the scream only lasted for a second before it stopped abruptly.

Two more ghosts were engulfed in flames.

After that, it was Lin Mo and the remaining ghosts. Basically, they were instantly engulfed in the flames.

Lin Mo saw the flame clearly just now, and it was actually green.

Green flames, emitting green light.

Perhaps it is because this green flame is very special that it can burn in the maze without causing 'escape'.

But a flame is a flame, and its fundamental properties do not change because of its color.

For example, it is blazingly hot and destructively powerful.

Lin Mo and his army of evil spirits were directly defeated by a breath of fire.

Among them, the only one who is not afraid of fire is Lin Mo.

He himself has the Iron Curse, which makes him very fire-resistant. In addition, he also has the Burning Curse, which can offset the burning of other flames. Therefore, Lin Mo is like nothing happened in the flames.

He put a few strands of hair remaining on his fingers into his mouth, then jumped out of the sea of ​​fire holding the bone spur.

"Why the hell are you spraying me..."

Lin Mo mumbled a curse, and the old lady opposite saw it and cursed again.

Phew! This time, Lin Mo was completely enraged.

He saw clearly just now that the person holding the candle and blowing fire was an old lady, but age was not a reason to bully someone.

Even for him, after being bathed in green flames twice, his mood would definitely not be good.

Although the burns didn't kill him, he still felt pain.

The clothes on my body were almost burned.

Don’t even mention the pants, they’re almost the same as waistbands now.

If it keeps burning, we'll be left with nothing.

Fortunately, the black sweater knitted by Grandma Yu was still strong and was not affected by the flames, so it was still intact.

At this time, Lin Mo walked out of the sea of ​​fire and stared at the old lady holding a candle opposite.

Under the green firelight, both Lin Mo and the old lady looked weirder than usual.

Lin Mo discovered that a part of his body was still burning.

I looked down and saw it was a brick hammer.

At this moment, green flames were coming out of the hammer. Lin Mo pulled it out, looked at it, blew it out, and shook it gently, and the green flames still came out.

It looked like the brick hammer was stained by this strange green flame, just like clear water stained by ink.

But for now, this is a good thing.

That means Lin Mo can use this weapon.

At that moment, Lin Mo smiled at the old lady holding the candle, and his smile was very happy.
