Lin Mo felt that he might have made some mistakes in the details, but the general direction was correct.
Xi Wenjun set up her display in such a conspicuous place, actually wanting to be discovered.
I feel that this is a tacit understanding between Xi Wenjun and me.
"That is to say, Xi Wenjun couldn't give me a direct clue for some reason, but she believed that I would be able to find her."
This feeling is not unfounded.
Based on Lin Mo's understanding of Xi Wenjun, it would not be difficult for her to hide this haunted house in a more secret place, but she chose the only island here, and it was right on the open space of the island, with the door wide open without any restrictions.
This is obviously not a convenient way for the spiritual monster to act.
She wanted to make it easier for herself to find the house.
Then find out the real her.
Lin Mo estimated that there were some details he had not discovered.
According to the current situation, he only has one chance to lift the veil.
If you make a mistake, your fate will be the same as that of the spiritual monster just now, and you will be swallowed up by the fake bride in an instant.
Many tactics flashed through Lin Mo's mind.
For example, he could choose to wait until the spiritual monster had chosen all the fake brides, and the last one left would be the real bride.
But the problem is that this premise is that the other party will make the wrong choice every time.
Once you make the right choice, all will be lost.
This is tantamount to gambling in disguise.
Lin Mo knew that gambling was a losing strategy nine times out of ten, so this method would definitely not work.
"Look again!"
He still had to take the initiative. This time, Lin Mo planned to observe each bride carefully.
From head to toe, no detail can be missed.
The vampire curse took effect in this incident. The curse gave Lin Mo extremely strong observation skills, and he could even see the threads on the bride's clothes clearly.
To be honest, the threads are indeed different, but this seems to have nothing to do with distinguishing between real and fake brides.
I looked at them one by one again, but still found nothing.
That's right, if it was really that easy to tell the truth from the false, the spiritual monster wouldn't have chosen blindly. The other party was just taking a chance.
Suddenly, Lin Mo slapped his forehead.
"Why should I bother thinking about this myself? Why not just ask Xiaoyu? She is the Pen Fairy, maybe she can tell whether it is true or not."
Do it when you think of it.
Lin Mo called Xiaoyu out and briefly explained the situation.
"Xiaoyu, please predict and see which one is the real Xi Wenjun."
Lin Mo held the pencil, hoping Xiaoyu would give him a hint.
Xiaoyu turned her head to look at the dozen brides in red, then looked at Lin Mo, with a look of resentment in her eyes.
"My goodness, my Xiaoyu, it's already this late and you're still jealous. Hurry up, or that monster will be here again soon."
After Lin Mo said this, Xiaoyu softened her heart.
It was obvious that Lin Mo could already accurately grasp Xiaoyu's weaknesses.
One word.
Coax! Girls all need to be coaxed, and female ghosts are no exception.
Xiaoyu came over, grabbed Lin Mo's hand, and wrote a line on the paper.
"This woman said that if you kiss her one by one, she will follow you."
Looking at the text, Lin Mo was stunned.
"Xiaoyu, are you kidding or serious?"
Lin Mo looked at Xiaoyu.
The latter also looked over, without saying a word, with a very serious expression.
"It looks like you're serious. Oh, I see."
Lin Mo suddenly realized that Xi Wenjun must have left a message using some information that only Xiaoyu could perceive, and this message could only be seen by Xiaoyu.
Because Xi Wenjun knew that she would take Xiaoyu with her wherever she went, so when she left a message for Xiaoyu, it was equivalent to leaving a message for herself.
They are all clever little ghosts.
But are you sure that the kiss isn't a way to cause trouble?
Anyway, judging from Xiaoyu's expression, that's what Xi Wenjun said, absolutely true.
"Look, this is what happened. I don't know what Sister Wenjun is thinking. Forget it. I can't get anything out of her now. I might as well act according to the plan and ask her clearly after I'm out of danger."
Lin Mo sounded like he was talking to himself.
The pretending seems quite forced.
Xiaoyu's eyes were rolled up to the sky.
"That's it. I'll bear with it for a while. After all, we're saving people."
Lin Mo is still flattering himself.
He walked up to a bride.
Because these brides look exactly like Xi Wenjun, they are also very tall, a little taller than Lin Mo.
But the problem is, they are both wearing veils, how can they kiss? Xiaoyu came over and patted Lin Mo, then pointed at his forehead.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Oh, so it's not a kiss!"
I was actually a little disappointed.
Lin Mo remembered that when he first met Xi Wenjun, he helped her get rid of the shackles of the handkerchief. Xi Wenjun kissed him on the forehead in gratitude.
This time, I should ask myself to do the same thing.
It must have a special function, but Lin Mo is not sure.
Don’t worry about it for now, just kiss her first.
Lin Mo looked at the bride in front of him, then found a small stool to stand on, and kissed her on the forehead through the red veil.
Ber! It was Lin Mo himself who made the sound.
In his words, without sound, there is no sense of ceremony.
But to be honest, in this gloomy haunted house, standing on a small stool and kissing the forehead of the female ghost wearing a veil is still quite exciting. Anyway, the foreign old lady who brought Lin Mo here was so scared that her legs went weak. She thought it was too exciting. This man was so bold.
Lin Mo also felt excited.
But his excitement was not the same as the old lady's.
Kiss the first one.
No response.
It’s okay, just switch to the next one.
The second one was much more skilled in kissing. After a sip of "ber", Lin Mo immediately carried a small stool and walked to the third bride.
After kissing this one, when Lin Mo was about to walk towards the fourth bride, something strange happened.
The third bride took a step forward at this time and followed Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was also stunned.
Looked back.
"What do you mean? You found it so quickly?"
He actually felt it was a bit fast.
It's obvious that this guy is still a little unsatisfied.
But the real bride has been found, so we can’t kiss her anymore after this, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
Xiaoyu said that she would leave after finding the real Xi Wenjun.
Don't stop.
This is Xi Wenjun's message, which means that she even gave up this big house in order to escape.
At this time, Lin Mo turned around and wanted to communicate with Zhen Xi Wenjun.
But the other person lowered his head, wore a veil and said nothing.
Lin Mo was about to pull the veil off, but Xiao Yu stopped him.
Obviously, you can't lift the veil here.
Okay, Lin Mo will do as he says.
At this time, the foreign old lady came over and asked if it was nothing.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Can I leave then?" the old lady asked.
"Let's go."
Lin Mo waved his hand and thanked the old lady.
The old lady ran out without saying a word, obviously not wanting to stay here for even a second.
As a result, the old lady just ran out and came back immediately.
"Why are you back again?"
Lin Mo was puzzled.
The old lady was trembling and pointing outside, she was so scared that she couldn't even speak.
Lin Mo looked over there and saw someone walking in.
This was a corpse with a broken neck, almost folded in half with the body. The head should have been drooping behind the back, so the other party did not see what was happening in the yard.
But the powerful mental power still detected the problem. The man slowly turned around, with his back facing this side, his head drooping upside down, and a pair of dead eyes looked over.
"Yeah, you came so quickly?"
Lin Mo couldn't help but say something.
It's that spiritual monster.
The body that the opponent had previously controlled was devoured, but I didn't expect it to come again so soon.
But this body is not as good as the previous one, it’s too shabby.
"Who are you?" The monster was stunned. He probably didn't expect that someone would come here.
Lin Mo chuckled: "I'll take one of you, and the rest are yours. Come on, make way."
There was a brief silence.
"I'll let your sister!"
The monster cursed, then immediately retreated and pounced forward. Seeing this, Lin Mo kicked it.
It felt like kicking a thick iron plate, but I didn't even knock the other person down.
But Lin Mo did not suffer any loss, and both of them took a few steps back.
The next moment, a faint light flashed in the other person's eyes on his drooping head.
This is a mental attack.
Lin Mo could have defended himself, but he changed his mind and immediately released a powerful mental force.
As the two mental forces collided with each other, at the same time, both spiritual bodies entered the spiritual realm.
Lin Mo looked around and found himself back in the cozy little house.
He glanced at the door, put on his paper bag head, and walked over to open it.
There was a figure standing outside the door.
This is the true form of the spiritual monster.
The other person's entire body was covered in black mist, with only two flashlight-like lights at the position of his eyes. Surprise could be seen in his eyes.
After closing the door, Lin Mo walked down the steps at the entrance.
Both sides looked at each other.
After a while, it was the spiritual monster that broke the silence first.
"Paper bag head?"
Lin Mo nodded.
It seems that the other party has also heard of Paper Bag Head, which makes things easier.
Lin Mo thought of some tactics almost immediately. At present, his side was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and was not as good as the opponent in the spiritual realm, so he tried not to take action if possible.
"Why do you want to ruin my good thing?" the other party asked again.
This time Lin Mo did not remain silent, he let out a low laugh.
"What do you mean by ruining your good deeds? I passed by and saw a house, so I went in. I happened to see a bride, so I took one with me. What's the problem?"
This is called specious argument.
But at this time, specious arguments are obviously more effective.
"You bastard, do you know what first come first served means? Everything in that house has an owner. They are all mine."
Lin Mo laughed: "Anyway, you were not there when I went there, so who can prove that you found it first? I also said that the house is my home."
"fart!"
"What, you want to do it?"
Lin Mo immediately shouted behind him: "Mom, Dad, someone is bullying me."
The spiritual monster on the opposite side didn't rush up after all.
Obviously it is still a little afraid.
Maybe they feel that it is not worth fighting with the Paper Bag Head Family, which has been in the limelight recently, because of this matter.
"It is true that I was the first one to discover the haunted house and those brides. It was you, Paper Bag Head, who did this unkind thing." The monster's voice was cold, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
It seems that it is still a little short of a violent fight.
Of course Lin Mo knew that he couldn't get into a fight, so this was the time when he could demonstrate his art of speaking.
"Okay, even if what you said is true and you discovered it first, whoever sees it gets a share. I only took away a bride. There are still a dozen people over there, and there is also a big house. What? Are you so overbearing that you want to take it all for yourself, but you don't give any benefits to our Paper Bag Head Family?"
This may sound tough, but it actually makes sense.
Indeed, there were more than a dozen brides and a big house, but the other party only took away one bride, so it was actually itself that took advantage.
"We don't ask for much, just one thing. If you don't even agree to this and want to take all the benefits, then let's fight and see who dies."
Lin Mo caught a hint of hesitation emanating from the other party's mental power and immediately increased the stakes.
First put on an unconcerned look.
In fact, his request was not excessive. Taking away one bride out of a dozen was a very reasonable condition compared to the conflict.
The other party may also feel that Lin Mo's request is not high. If he wants half of the bride, it will definitely not agree and will immediately turn hostile.
If there is only one, the probability of choosing a fake bride is too high.
It is indeed stupid to fight to the death for a fake bride with the Paper Bag Head Family, which is more powerful than the Wesson Family.
But it couldn't understand why the other party insisted on taking a bride away.
It asked directly.
"What do you want this bride for? I might as well give you something else that is definitely better than this." The top spiritual being proposed another plan.
"no!"
Lin Mo decisively refused.
"My mother told me to find a wife myself, and I chose this one. This bride is mine. I won't trade her for anything even if you offer me a mountain of gold and silver. I want this one."
"Why are you so stubborn? Think about it."
"Don't consider it, don't listen, don't listen, just recite the sutra!"
"Okay!" The other party also had a headache.
If you find that you can't make it make sense, just let it go.
Anyway, she is just a fake bride. If the veil is lifted, the other party will be killed. However, she will definitely not tell this matter.
You deserve to die for letting me snatch your woman away.
The two men completed the negotiation and withdrew from the spiritual realm at the same time.
This time, Lin Mo stretched out his hand, and several iron chains flew out, carrying Xi Wenjun on his back.
This is to prevent the other party from noticing the clues.
Otherwise, other brides cannot be moved, and only this bride can be moved, then the secret will be exposed immediately.
In other words, Lin Mo was still very careful at critical moments.
When passing by the spiritual monster, Lin Mo deliberately looked back.
“I want to take another one.”
Feeling the other party's anger, Lin Mo gave up in disappointment and walked out while cursing.
Once outside, Lin Mo quickened his pace and fled quickly, carrying Xi Wenjun on his back.
The other party may still be confused about this matter for the time being, but as long as he thinks about it carefully, he will find the flaws. It is better to leave quickly to avoid more trouble.
Of course, this does not mean that we can sit back and relax.
The other party may react at any time and start a fight, so we have to prepare for the fight.
But the biggest problem is that the battles in the Sea of Fear are all in the spiritual realm.
That is a competition of mental strength.
Lin Mo's mental power has been improved compared to the past. It can be said that this improvement is very huge, but compared with the top spiritual bodies in the Sea of Fear, it is still far behind.
Take the last time for example. If he hadn’t taken NZT-47, which increased his mental strength several times and allowed him to bring back his mom, dad and sister, the Wisen family alone would have been too much for Lin Mo to handle.
And this time, the opponent may be even more terrifying than the Wesson family.
Xi Wenjun has already been brought back and it is impossible to send her back. A conflict may occur at any time. It all depends on the other party's reaction speed.
The other party may not recover for several days and may chase you in the next second.
So Lin Mo was thinking while running.
In the contest of mental strength, conventional means are simply useless. Even though Lin Mo has a ship called Silence and so many helpers, in the spiritual realm, he is fighting alone.
Apart from Lao Bai, even top nightmares like Xiaoyu and Sister Yue can't help.
After all, even when Xi Wenjun encountered that spiritual being, she could only delay time by using a losing situation, and she couldn't even resist.
Fortunately, the Sea of Fear only exists here, otherwise if it were everywhere, no one would be able to stop these monsters.
After escaping from the mirror world, Lin Mo felt Xi Wenjun move on his back.
The other patted him.
Looking back, I found that Xi Wenjun had lifted her veil herself. She still looked the same as before, with two blood and tear marks on her face, and her skin was incredibly white.
The first thing she did after she was able to move again was to tell Lin Mo that the monster was about to come.
It turns out that the final scheme of Xi Wenjun to create the real and fake bride required her to be near the haunted house. Once she left more than a certain distance, the scheme would fall apart on its own.
At that time, the spiritual monster will immediately realize that it has been tricked.
Lin Mo, standing on the deck, knew that the situation was now imminent.
Either we must sail the Silence away from here immediately, or we must engage in a head-on confrontation with that spiritual monster.
"It would be nice to have another bottle of NZT-47!"
Lin Mo just sighed, and then he found that there was an extra figure on the deck.
It was the corpse with a broken neck and head drooping on its back.
That spirit entity actually caught up with us.
And so fast.
Now there is no chance to run.
Lin Mo's mind was racing at this moment. He thought of a more risky method, but taking a risk means there is still a chance of winning. Otherwise, there is no chance of winning at all.
He turned to the dancer and said, "Drive towards the Glutton."
The dancer was stunned.
The sea area where the Glutton is located is a restricted area. I've been there once before and was warned as soon as I approached.
If we go again, wouldn't we be attracting another terrifying spirit?
But this was an order from Lin Mo. Although the dancer did not understand, he immediately carried out the order without saying anything.
The Silence began to move.
Lin Mo looked at the body controlled by the spirit and smiled: "Why? Do you regret it?"
The other party cursed directly.
"How dare you play tricks on me? The one you took away is the real bride."
"This is my good luck. Who can you blame for your bad luck?" Lin Mo sneered. He glanced at the Glutton in the distance, which was approaching quickly.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of your Paper Bag Head Family?" The spirit's voice was filled with murderous intent.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "You really think that I am here just to take the real bride away. You are wrong. I just want to lead you to the boat."
The Silence was moving very fast and had already rushed into the restricted area where the Glutton was located.
"Go ahead, kill him!"
Lin Mo suddenly shouted.
