Chapter 858: The Deal Is Done
The old man mentioned the girl, which made Lin Mo slightly surprised in his heart, there were not many girls around him, only a few, as for the old man's previous sentence, he said that he didn't know Lin Mo at all, but he only believed half of it.
It is true that the old man may not know him, but this is very unlikely.
This old man's words are a little contradictory, according to common sense, if a person is in urgent need of help, she may rush to the doctor, but from the old man's indifferent performance, Lin Mo can't detect the other party's anxiety.
If the old man was not in a hurry, why would she believe the words of a stranger?
According to the old man, she didn't know the girl, but she chose to believe it, and then she happened to wait for Lin Mo, you know, what happened today is full of coincidences.
Lin Mo came to the garden community last night because the souls of those college students were trapped in this community, and then when he was looking for the souls of those people, he saw the fire in the old man's room, and he was a little curious, so he came over again tonight to see if he could get some clues.
After that, the old man carried the basket downstairs, and went outside to burn paper for no one else, the old security guard's behavior, and the black paper lantern in the old man's hand made Lin Mo curious.
Then when I followed the old man back to the garden community, I saw such a terrifying and strange scene, so I followed the old man all the way back to the old man's home, it can be said that all this is a coincidence, but according to the old man's words, it seems that the old man has been waiting for him.
No, it should be said that this crazy old lady is sure that Lin Mo will come here today.
"It stands to reason that she shouldn't know my whereabouts, but how does this feel, she knows me well."
Lin Mo frowned, this feeling of being confused was very bad, his whereabouts were mastered, and even his next actions were known, this feeling of being controlled made Lin Mo a little irritable.
"And the girl in the old lady's mouth, although she said that she didn't know the other party, but she must trust the other party very much, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to talk to me about this kind of deal directly, or rather, all this was told by the girl to this old man?"
"If that's the case, that girl must know my whereabouts very well and know my abilities, but that's not right~"
Lin Mo was very puzzled in his heart, there were not many girls who had appeared around him, and he could basically count them.
There are many people who know that he has the ability, Lin Meng, Wang Linlin, Zhang Ningxi, and many other people he has business dealings with, as well as Su Ying's goblin.
But among these people, most of them didn't know that Lin Mo had changed his face and become another person, Zhang Ningxi and Xu Qingqing knew, but the two of them had already gone to other places, and they knew that Lin Mo might have to do something very important this time, so it was impossible to tell other people the news.
In this case, there are only three people left who can know that Lin Mo has the ability now: Lu Qian, Liao Yu, and the woman who broke into the bookstore last night.
Liao Yu is just possible, judging from the other party's performance today, Lin Mo knows that this girl doesn't know that Lin Mo has this kind of ability at this time, and judging from the relationship between the old man and Lu Qian, the opposite hair obviously won't tell the old lady about this kind of thing.
As for the woman who broke into the bookstore yesterday, the other party probably didn't have the time at all, let alone this opportunity.
After thinking about it a few times, Lin Mo still couldn't find any girl who matched the current situation, which made him wonder in his heart, Zhang Ningxi only had her father as a relative in Fengcheng, and in the current situation, her father was not here at all.
Thinking about it, the only stranger who could tell Lin Mo's current situation to the old man and make the old man trust him seemed to be the only one left, and that was Xu Qingqing, who had left Fengcheng.
It's just this problem, Lin Mo has no way to verify it now.
The other party had already left Fengcheng and went to other places with Zhang Ningxi, and the old man had already said that she didn't know the other party.
Either the old man intended to help Xu Qingqing hide this matter, or the girl in the old man's mouth was not Xu Qingqing.
This news is relatively important to Lin Mo, at least it has allowed him to lock on some targets, there is no need to continue to dwell on this matter at the moment, whether the old man knows so much, or he doesn't want to answer, it is no longer necessary for Lin Mo to continue to ask.
"What are the restrictions on the use of this black paper lantern?"
Returning his attention to the matter at hand, Lin Mo needed to know some things about this black paper lantern, if possible, Lin Mo also wanted to make a black paper lantern, and there would be no restrictions at that time, he could only use it for an hour a day, and the time was still a bit insufficient for Lin Mo.
"Each black paper lantern can only be used for one hour a day, and other than that, there are no restrictions."
The hoarse voice carried a hint of exhaustion, obviously, fighting wits and courage with a guy like Lin Mo was still more laborious for the old man.
"Each black paper lantern can only be used once a day?"
Lin Mo repeated, and immediately grasped the point, this time the old man didn't hide too much, and basically directly told Lin Mo the biggest secret of this black paper lantern.
"Okay, I see, you said earlier that you want me to help your son overdue, excuse me, is he here now?"
Previously, the old man put a jar on the coffee table, and Lin Mo naturally thought that the soul of the old man's son was in this jar.
"No, he's not here, he's in the hands of a ghost king, this thing can help you find him."
The old man sighed, and in just one sentence, Lin Mo felt the old man's sad mood.
"In the hands of a ghost king?"
Lin Mo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this old man actually knew the Ghost King, this old man who looked very ordinary, was really not an ordinary person, but Lin Mo didn't notice any cultivation from the old man's body, which made Lin Mo have some doubts in his heart.
"I know, I'll take this thing away, and within three days, I'll help you complete this matter, and I hope you don't break our agreement."
Wrapped in a black shadow, the next second, the jar that the old man placed on the coffee table had appeared in Lin Mo's hand, it was a palm-sized jar, at this time, it was pitch black around, Lin Mo couldn't see the things on the jar, and after feeling it carefully, he could detect a trace of undetectable yin qi from this jar.
"There's a soul in there."
Slightly surprised, Lin Mo was a little more vigilant about the old man's methods, ordinary people had no way to leave another person's soul in any artifact, and this old man was obviously not among these ordinary people.
was able to leave a wisp of her son's soul in this jar, and before Lin Mo took the jar in his hand, he didn't notice the soul hidden in the jar at all, this hand alone was enough to make Lin Mo look at the old man in front of him.
"Well, when the paper lantern is eleven o'clock every day, I will put it on this coffee table, and the lamp oil in it is only enough to burn for an hour, so remember not to exceed this time."
The old man instructed again, and his voice revealed a thick exhaustion, as if tonight's events had exhausted her mental strength.
"I remember, old man, do I need to bring you anything when I come back?"
Searching for a question, Lin Mo actually wanted to know what this lamp oil was, and see if he could go back and make some by himself, if the restrictions of this paper lantern were related to this lamp oil, as long as Lin Mo knew how to make lamp oil, making a black paper lantern would not be a big deal.
"Each paper lantern can only be used for an hour a day, okay, I can only say so much, it's not too early, I should also rest, in another half an hour, you can leave from me."
After saying these words again, the old man stood up from the sofa, did not give Lin Mo a chance to speak again, turned around, and walked towards the room, the black paper lantern was also taken away by the old man, and did not give Lin Mo a chance to explore this secret.
