The restaurant is quiet.

Although the restaurant was full of people, they were all eating quietly. The waiter was walking back and forth, but you couldn't hear the slightest sound of footsteps, as if he was floating.

Inside the box.

"This matter is rather complicated." Liu Jia called a waiter from the Evil Ghost Restaurant over and served a few small dishes first.

Lin Mo asked her to speak quickly and not to keep her in suspense.

"It all started with your brother, Pugalo, the bald ascetic monk. He was a good friend of your brother. When your brother went down, he asked him to take the ghost bell. Maybe your brother didn't explain it clearly, or maybe the ascetic monk didn't understand, so he thought that taking it was stealing."

"Why does he need the ghost bell?"

"Hold Tiancheng steady."

"Amagi? Here?"

"Yes, it is here."

"Why?"

"This place is about to collapse. If Ruyi doesn't have the ghost bell, the riot of thousands of ghosts will inevitably affect the normal nightmare world, which is a layer of dreamland."

Lin Mo moved his butt and said he didn't hear it clearly.

"You just don't understand what I said." Liu Jia ruthlessly exposed Lin Mo's stubbornness.

Lin Mo was a little angry and embarrassed.

"Jia Jia, there are people here, how can you talk like that?"

As he spoke, he pursed his lips.

"You are talking about Lao Bai, right? Didn't you say that he is your family, as close as a brother? Since we are all brothers, he is not an outsider. Besides, what's wrong with me saying a few words to you? Don't you like to listen?"

Lin Mo was silent for five seconds to express his protest, he just didn't want to listen.

"Okay, I'll apologize. It's mainly because I was so happy to see you that I couldn't help myself." There was a rare tenderness in Liu Jia's eyes.

It was obvious that her eyes said a lot, but she didn't actually say a word.

After thinking about it, Liu Jia explained it to Lin Mo again.

"The nightmare world is divided into many layers, just like a building," Liu Jia said as he placed the peanuts on the table, one on top of the other.

"Just like this, if there is a problem in one layer, it will affect other layers, and eventually..."

With a touch of her fingers, the peanut tower made of several peanuts collapsed.

This metaphor is very vivid, and Lin Mo nodded.

"In the second level of dreams, the Heavenly City is very important, just like adjusting the weights on a scale. Without the Heavenly City, the scale of the second level of dreams will tilt and eventually collapse completely."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment.

“Is it that exaggerated?”

He didn't quite believe it.

"It's so exaggerated, and the actual situation may be beyond your cognition." Liu Jia spread his hands, and at this moment a waiter from the ghost shop floated over and placed a few dishes.

"Come on, eat it while it's cold." Liu Jia called.

Lin Mo looked down and saw that there were several plates of candles on the table, including candle dices, candle slices, candle blocks, and there seemed to be candle mud.

In addition to the candles, there are also some meat dishes.

Liu Jia picked one up and bit it in the air.

In an instant, the "food" on her chopsticks dimmed, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

have eaten?

What you eat is not a physical entity, but a certain kind of energy.

"I didn't believe it at first, but later I knew it was true. For example, do you think the nightmare world was divided into many layers from the beginning, or was it divided by someone?"

Liu Jia's question is like asking about a giant mountain range, whether it was formed naturally or man-made.

I believe that anyone with normal thinking would choose the first one.

But judging from what Liu Jia meant, the second one is the correct answer.

"You mean?" Lin Mo roughly understood what was going on.

"Yes, everything in the world is about balance. Just like our Earth, the ability to give birth to life is a coincidence. Or, it is something that happens only after all kinds of terrifying natural forces reach a delicate balance. Once this balance is broken, do you think there will still be people on the little ball?"

Liu Jia's words suddenly reached a new level of significance.

It's a bit towards the end of science, the edge of theology, and philosophy.

"Anyway, Jia Jia, what you mean is that this Tiancheng is very important and cannot collapse. If it collapses, everyone might be doomed. Is that what you mean?"

Liu Jia smiled: "You summarized it very well, that's what I meant."

"In other words, the ascetic monk took away the ghost bell in order to maintain the Heavenly City? He was doing a good deed."

"yes."

"Then why didn't you go back and tell me?" Lin Mo expressed his incomprehension.

Liu Jia has a pair of scissors and can enter and exit the second level of dreams freely.

If she knew this was the case, why didn't she come out and tell me?

There is clearly something wrong here.

Liu Jia hesitated and didn't know how to explain, and seemed to have his own difficulties.

Lin Mo was a little angry.

He doesn't like being kept in the dark, and neither does Liu Jia.

Especially since he knew Liu Jia very well and knew that she generally would not hide anything from him, this made him even angrier.

"You can't leave, what are you busy with?" Lin Mo continued to ask.

Liu Jia slammed the table.

"I don't want to tell you, okay? If you don't agree, then get out of here and don't get in the way."

As he spoke, he drove people away.

Lin Mo snorted coldly and turned away.

Liu Jia didn't chase out.

But Lin Mo didn't really leave. After he went out, he walked around and hid in a corner, looking at the restaurant.

"You are such a cunning fellow." Sister Yue poked her head out of Lin Mo's pocket and said.

Lin Mo asked Sister Yue if she had been eavesdropping.

"Do I really need to eavesdrop? I can hear you two arguing even with my ears covered. I didn't even say you were disturbing my rest." Sister Yue's speech has been very similar to Lin Mo's style lately. She often says "fuck" or she has learned the essence of Lin Mo's unreasonable interference.

Anyway, he never gives in and never admits defeat.

Sister Yue said that this is called "Birds of a feather flock together."

"I didn't even tell you that you led me astray."

Seeing that Sister Yue wanted to say more, Lin Mo quickly admitted his mistake and gave in, thus shutting Sister Yue up.

"Xiaoyu is still the best. She never talks back to me." Lin Mo muttered in his heart.

Let’s talk about Liu Jia again.

Lin Mo felt that something was obviously wrong with Liu Jia.

She was a little out of control before.

But based on Lin Mo's understanding of Liu Jia, this girl was extremely strong when she was alive, and her ability to control her emotions was several orders of magnitude higher than his own.

How could he lose control over such a small thing?

Lin Mo could only think of two possibilities.

One possibility is that she was hiding something from him; the other possibility is that she did it on purpose.

In fact, there is still something hidden from me.

Of course Lin Mo would not leave in anger. As a real man, he would never argue with a girl.

But this matter must be made clear.

So he hid in the dark, wanting to see what Liu Jia would do next.

"Sister Yue, please do me a favor and help me hide my figure and breath." Lin Mo knew that this would be easy for Sister Yue.

Sister Yue can control darkness.

He wraps himself in darkness, making it almost impossible for outsiders to detect him. He also hides in the corner, so it is difficult to detect his presence unless someone walks in directly.

After waiting for a while, Liu Jia came out.

"She won't really finish eating all the food on the table before coming down, right?" Lin Mo felt that Liu Jiaxin shouldn't be that careless.

And she really looked worried.

After coming down, the other party actually looked around, probably because he guessed that I might be secretly following her.

Very cunning.

Fortunately, Lin Mo was experienced and remained unmoved. Liu Jia walked around twice and found no problems, so he moved forward.

Lin Mo followed secretly in the shadows behind.

Along the way, we met several ghost soldiers who were hiding in red light houses.

Something surprising happened to Lin Mo. Several ghost soldiers actually bowed to Liu Jia and were extremely respectful.

Next, I encountered many similar things.

Lin Mo finally reacted.

It was no coincidence that Liu Jian was able to let those evil soldiers on the city wall and General Zheng Qian go unpunished.

There is a bell tower in front.

Liu Jia was talking to a few ghost soldiers below.

Lin Mo looked up from a distance.

Recognized it.

The bell hanging on the bell tower is the ghost bell.

It seems that Liu Jia is right.

This ghost bell is indeed used in this strange sky city.

But the next moment, Lin Mo saw Liu Jia climb up the bell tower.

There are quite a few ghost soldiers under the bell tower, and at this moment they are all looking up, motionless and silent.

Looking at Liu Jia above, after he stood still, he was silent for a long time, then he reached out and grabbed the bell wood, pulled it hard, and started to ring the bell.

The bell sounds melodious.

It seemed as if some special power had been generated. Some of the auras in the city that had seemed extremely terrifying to Lin Mo also subsided under the sound of the bells.

Looking at Liu Jia ringing the bell, Lin Mo understood everything in an instant.
