"Oh, what could have happened? I'll be back soon."

The woman's child started to make a fuss.

Crying and shouting.

"Okay, I'm going to go down." The woman waved at Lao Xiao, and then said to her son: "Okay, stop crying, my little ancestor, can't mom buy it for you?"

Then he went downstairs while coaxing her.

The elder brother came over from behind, patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, and signaled him not to mess around.

Lin Mo nodded, but he didn't pull out the knife after all.

After closing the door, the two brothers began to analyze the current situation.

“It seems like the scene has changed.”

“It’s a bit like traveling through time.”

"The furnishings, decoration and style here should be from 80 or 90 years ago, or even earlier. The word 'time travel' is very appropriate."

“That’s strange.”

"What's wrong?"

"The last time my father and I came here, we didn't encounter such a weird thing." Lin Mo spoke the truth. From the moment the knock on the door sounded just now, the situation here had been developing towards an unknown direction.

What will happen next, no one knows.

No one can predict it.

"Perhaps, this is just a routine operation in the hotel, but last time, you and Dad didn't trigger this 'hidden plot'."

"Brother, the words 'hidden plot' are very apt."

Lin Yuan smiled and ignored Lin Mo's compliment.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for us to go out now."

"Try."

Lin Mo took out the escape beans, but after thinking about it, he didn't eat it.

If he goes out and my brother doesn’t, it will be troublesome.

"Brother, what are your plans?" Lin Mo asked, seeing that his brother was neither hurried nor impatient.

Generally, if one can remain so calm and composed at such a time, it means that he is confident, or at least has something to rely on.

As a result, the brother shook his head and said that he had no plans.

"Sometimes, you do nothing and just stay where you are. Maybe after a while, everything will return to normal." Lin Yuan said.

Lin Mo thought about it and felt that this made sense.

Many times when people encounter dangerous situations, they are often overwhelmed by the danger and do some useless but absolutely suicidal behaviors and actions.

In the end, he didn't have to die, but because he was busy doing nothing, he killed himself.

If you keep calm from the beginning, don't panic, and don't even need to do anything extra, you can safely get through the crisis.

There are too many similar examples in reality.

And the proportion is not small.

So my brother said to stay calm and not act rashly, which is obviously the more appropriate approach now.

"Then stay in this room and don't go out for now." Lin Mo said.

It just so happens that it will take some time for the memory mom and the fish-shaped mom to merge, so we just hide in the house and don’t care about the wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside. It has nothing to do with us.

But in many cases, it is often the case that you don’t cause trouble, but trouble causes you.

At this time, some shouting sounds were heard outside the window. It was very chaotic, with women screaming and children crying.

Lin Mo and his brother Lin Yuan were curious, so they walked to the window, lifted the curtains a little and looked outside.

Upon seeing this, I realized that the street view outside was also different from the normal exterior view of the Xinghua Hotel. Before, it was covered with thick fog, but what I saw around were the street views of a modern county town.

But now, it is dark outside, and there are some old buildings in the style of the last century around. I can see a stall selling candied haws opposite, but there is only one stall left and the person is gone.

Soon Lin Mo found the stall owner.

A dozen meters away, there was a person lying on the roadside. He was wearing a thick apron and was now lying in a pool of blood. He should be the stall owner.

In addition, at the entrance of a small alley, several soldiers wearing helmets were dragging the cheongsam woman inside. The woman was unwilling and screamed for help, but no one saved her.

Because there were a lot of those soldiers.

The bayonet on the spear glowed coldly, exuding a murderous aura. Who dared to go up? It was the Japanese soldiers.

The woman's son was caught by a Japanese soldier at this moment. He cried and shouted loudly, and then bit the Japanese soldier's hand. The latter let go of his hand in pain, and the child ran away immediately.

The Japanese soldier cursed, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, raised the gun, aimed, and fired.

Bang! A gunshot rang out.

The child fell to the ground and was motionless.

When the woman saw this scene, she was stunned at first, and then she wanted to fight with the Japanese soldier who fired the gun like a madman.

At this moment, the woman was desperate.

But what greeted her was a bayonet.

At this moment, it pierces in from the mouth and out from the back of the head.

When it was pulled out, white mucus mixed with blood flowed all over the floor.

He must be dead.

A few Japanese soldiers left with curses and smiles, not caring about the corpses on the ground.

"It really was a hundred years ago. This kind of thing was only possible at that time. If it happened now, haha."

Although Lin Yuan was smiling, one could tell there was a murderous look on his face.

Lin Mo saw it and asked, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

Lin Yuan asked what you mean? "I mean, I'm not too happy either. Logically, we've already agreed to be cautious and not cause trouble, but this matter is a bit annoying. How about we break the rules?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Send a few ghosts down to investigate and kill those Japanese soldiers."

"Okay, then you come or me?"

"Let me do it."

There is something fishy about my brother too.

And more than one.

Lin Mo didn't know exactly how many there were, and he didn't ask, just like his brother never asked how many ghost subordinates he had.

At this moment, the brother took out a small bag of special sand from his pocket.

Scatter on the ground.

Then he wrote his name on a talisman and threw it away.

The talisman glowed and when it fell on the sand, the sand surged and an extremely ferocious ghost crawled out from it.

This ghost has extremely long upper limbs, and his arms are more than twice as long as a normal person's. Naturally, he is more powerful. It seems that he can easily crush a person's head like a watermelon.

Only the upper body though.

No lower body.

There was nothing below the pelvis, and it looked like it had been crushed by something. There was blood all over the place, and wherever it crawled, there was a creepy blood mark left behind.

"Go ahead and release your resentment and hatred. It doesn't matter if you go a little too far."

The brother also had a very intimate chat with this ghost.

The next moment, the brother opened the window, and the ghost slid out very nimbly. Although only the upper body was visible, it had extremely terrifying upper limbs, so it could climb walls as nimbly as a gecko.

Lin Mo asked what the ghost was called.

What's the point?

My brother said that the ghost was called Lao Hu. As for Lao Hu’s story, I’d better not tell it.

"Why?" Lin Mo asked.

"I'm afraid you'll cry."

Lin Yuan meant that Lao Hu’s past was too tragic, and that was why Lao Hu had a hatred that surpassed any other nightmare.

That kind of hatred is destructive.

"Anyway, I spent a lot of effort to subdue Lao Hu. I was almost killed by Lao Hu. It was really just a little bit."

Although Brother Lin Yuan said it lightly, Lin Mo could sense that it must have been extremely dangerous at that time.

In fact, even without his brother saying anything, Lin Mo could feel the horrible hatred in Lao Hu, which was so strong that it could condense into frost and ice. He didn't know what Lao Hu had experienced that led to such horrible hatred.

It hates everything.

Even if it was his elder brother, the other party still hated him.

At this time, the windows were open, and the cool breeze from outside could blow in. There were some strange smells in the air, but it was very fresh.

There is a notice board below, with some newspapers seemingly pasted on it.

Lin Mo asked a ghost to go down and take a look. It would be even better if he could bring back the newspaper from above.

A ghost immediately moved along the wall, to the ground, and then to the notice board. Then a hand stretched out from the ghost and slowly peeled off a piece of newspaper. In addition to this, there were other things that could be taken down, and he tore off some of them. Finally, the ghost came back and handed all these things to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo and his brother watched it together.

This time, his expression was even weirder.

"No wonder the streets and buildings look like they were from 80 or 90 years ago, as well as the clothing styles and Japanese soldiers. It turns out that this place was really a hundred years ago."

There's a date on the newspaper, it can't be wrong.

It publishes some news, including domestic news and international affairs.

In addition, there were all kinds of random things written on the other papers that were peeled off.

There is a missing person notice.

There are also wanted criminals.

Except for the newspaper, everything else is handwritten, which is in line with the characteristics of that era.

At this time, the elder brother asked Lin Mo a question.

"Brother, you said that we traveled to the past, or we just saw a flashback of past memories."

Lin Mo shook his head.

It’s not clear at the moment.

But no matter what, this has something to do with Xinghua Hotel.

But the strange thing is that Xinghua Hotel does not look like a time-honored brand that has existed for hundreds of years. A hundred years ago, there was no Xinghua Hotel.

Even the house was built later.

Then how does this hotel have anything to do with a hundred years ago?

"Perhaps, it's not the hotel itself that's the problem, but something within the hotel."
