Chapter 856: The Old Lady's Entrustment
Lin Mo didn't reply, he was still standing at the door, he wanted to see if the old man was calling him.
If it was him, how did the old man know that he had entered the room?
If it weren't for him, then what else was hidden in this room was something that Lin Mo didn't even notice.
The body remained vigilant, and Lin Mo controlled the black shadow power to further probe every corner of the room, but the result was that there was no one else in this room except for him and the old lady.
And after the old man's words fell, a long time passed, and there was still no movement in this room.
"Did you really find me?"
Lin Mo's face became very ugly, this kind of situation was something he hadn't expected before, in the dark, the old man's footsteps sounded again, and he returned to the living room from that room.
"Come and sit down, don't doubt it, there are only two people in this room, you and me, there is no danger."
In the dark, the old man was sitting somewhere with the black paper lantern, and according to the inference of the surrounding environment, Lin Mo knew that the place where the old man was should be a sofa.
Whether the past is past or not is a question for Lin Mo, but this question did not make Lin Mo think about it for too long.
"I don't know how this old man found out, but now that she's aware of my presence, it's a bit of a stretch to hide here, and it doesn't seem necessary."
He didn't perceive any danger or hostility from the old man's body, Lin Mo only hesitated slightly, and then walked to the old man's side according to the route that the old man had walked before, and at the same time withdrew the black shadow power on his body, and the person was re-revealed.
Now that he has been discovered, there is no need to continue to envelop himself with the power of the dark shadow.
"Old man, I wonder how you found me?"
Groping and sitting opposite the old man, Lin Mo raised this question that made him very puzzled, his understanding of the power of the black shadow let Lin Mo know that even some people with advanced cultivation had no way to detect the power of this shadow.
For example, before, in the hidden space of Fengyuan Private High School, Lin Mo also noticed the danger in that dormitory building because of Su Shijing's prompt, but he couldn't know what the danger was.
Coupled with the several battles after obtaining this power, Lin Mo realized the strength of this power.
But now, it was so easy to be discovered by an ordinary old man, no, it should be said that it seems to be an ordinary old man, who can discover his existence, can no longer be called an ordinary old man, and the other party has a lot of secrets that he wants to know.
"It's just a feeling, I feel like someone has been following me, and I know you don't have any ill intentions."
A hoarse voice sounded across from Lin Mo, and the old man's speech was very slow, but every word was very clear.
"Do you feel it?"
Lin Mo repeated softly, not sure if what the old man said was true, but if it was really just a feeling of this kind of ethereal thing, it was not completely impossible, but Lin Mo also knew that he couldn't ask the answer to this question from the old man.
The old man didn't speak again, as if he was waiting for Lin Mo to speak first, and Lin Mo was also thinking about the old man's purpose for handing him over, judging from the old man's very calm performance, either it was really as the other party said, she could feel that Lin Mo had no malicious intent.
Or, this old man has any hole cards that Lin Mo can't detect.
The hole card could even threaten Lin Mo's life, but he didn't perceive any dangerous aura from the old man's body, which made Lin Mo settle down a little.
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent again, and an invisible confrontation quietly unfolded, both waiting for the other to speak first.
"Old man, do you know what I'm here for?"
In terms of calmness, Lin Mo really can't compare to this old lady, the changes in this community don't know when they will disappear, Lin Mo doesn't have much time to delay, and he has no choice, so he can only take the lead in speaking.
"You have a lot of doubts, follow me all the way from outside the community, you must have seen what happened to us here, you should really want to know everything about here, and I am your best breakthrough."
The old man slowly opened his mouth and directly revealed Lin Mo's thoughts, Lin Mo didn't expect that this old man could see so clearly.
A little surprised, but he didn't show any gaffe, and imagined that he had already shown curiosity about things here after seeing that kind of situation and still following the old man all the way here.
"Yes, I want to know the secrets of this community."
Lin Mo didn't hide it, there were only two people at this time, he and the old lady, and there was basically no need to cover it up.
"I know, but you can't ask me the answers you want to know, I know very little, and I can't tell you."
The old man was still indifferent, but these words made Lin Mo's brows furrow, he came here to learn the secrets of the community, but now these words are equivalent to directly rejecting Lin Mo.
"Old man, since you can't tell me anything, what are you asking me to come over?"
There was a little doubt in his heart, Lin Mo didn't get angry because he was directly rejected, there was no need for the other party to help him, it was a favor to help, and it was his duty not to help, since the other party was not going to tell him the secret here, Lin Mo was very curious, why did this old man let him enter the room again.
"I know what you're thinking, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I know things I can't tell you, and if things come out of my mouth, it's not a good thing for me or for you, but I can trade something else in exchange."
Something was placed on the table by the old man, and from the sound of the thing on the table, Lin Mo knew that what was placed on the table by the old man was the black paper lantern that she had been holding in her hand before.
"What's the matter with you?"
Not to mention anything else, with this black paper lantern alone, Lin Mo has already decided, listen to the old man's exchange conditions, the previous few times he saw the situation of the black paper lantern in the old man's hands, of course Lin Mo knew that with this black paper lantern, it was equivalent to having a pass in this garden community.
In that case, Lin Mo could explore the community on his own, if so, it would take a little time at most, as for whether the old man would tell Lin Mo the secrets she knew about the garden community, there was no need.
"Help me overtake my son, this black paper lantern can lend you an hour a day."
The old man spoke slowly, and at the same time put another thing on the coffee table, although he couldn't see anything, Lin Mo knew that it was a jar.
"Lend me an hour a day?"
Lin Mo frowned, helping the old man overtake her son was not a difficult thing for Lin Mo, but the old man's quid pro quo was not to give him the black paper lantern, but to borrow Lin Mo for an hour every day, which made Lin Mo a little dissatisfied.
"Well, I can only borrow you for an hour a day, after eleven o'clock, you can take it, and you must return it after an hour, and the latest time to return it cannot be more than a little."
The old man's words made Lin Mo slightly surprised, and he always felt that this time might have something to do with the changes in the community, but Lin Mo didn't ask immediately, but sat there thinking about it, keeping silent, he wanted to see the old man's bottom line.
"Young man, there is only so much I can give, this black paper lantern, I can't lend you too long, then it won't be of any use, if you want anything else, what is in this room, you can take it yourself."
When the old man said this, Lin Mo also understood that it was impossible to get this black paper lantern, thought about it for a while, and had already made a decision in his heart, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask, but thinking of the old man's previous words, he swallowed the question again.
"Okay, I agreed to this deal, then this black paper lantern..."
