Chapter 874: Exploring the Garden Community (4)
The old man's strange behavior actually made the two people standing outside the door leave, no, it should be said that they returned to the house, such a situation was something that Lin Mo had never thought of beforehand.
"What's going on?"
The old lady just closed the curtains, and then slowly walked back to her room, without looking at Lin Mo at all during the whole process.
"Bang"
Once inside, the old man closed the door to the room, and silence returned to the room.
The people outside had already left, and the old lady also returned to that room, and then locked the door, and the situation that had made Lin Mo vigilant before simply dissipated, making Lin Mo who was holding a black paper lantern in his hand very confused.
"That's it?"
Completely confused, Lin Mo couldn't even figure out what the connection between the changes inside and outside this room was.
First someone stood outside the door, waited quietly but did not come in, then the old man came out of the room, closed the curtains, and then the people outside left quietly as if they had received some signal.
Incredible, utterly incredible, the time between the old man closing the curtain and the person walking outside the door was only a few seconds.
Unless you see this process with your own eyes, even if someone sends a message notification, it is not so fast, but through a door, people outside can't see the situation in the room at all.
Shaking his head, he couldn't figure it out at all, so he could only secretly keep this matter in his heart, Lin Mo had other things to do at this time.
"It's eleven o'clock, and the people outside have already left, so you can go out."
Taking out the lighter given by the old man, Lin Mo lit the black paper lantern in his hand, saying that it was lit, but in fact, it was just that the two holes above and below could reveal a little light, and the edge of the entire black paper lantern was almost opaque, but the light that lit up looked a little weird.
The black paper lantern had been lit, but Lin Mo did not immediately come out of the room, although there was not much time, only an hour, and an hour later, Lin Mo was going to return the black paper lantern, but he still waited a little longer.
Standing still, Lin Mo smelled a faint fishy smell coming out of the black paper lantern, and then the smell was wrapped around Lin Mo's body, a layer of faint smoke shrouded, if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't have found this matter at all.
Since yesterday, Lin Mo has been very curious about this black paper lantern, and even guessed that this black paper lantern has something to do with the disappearance of the concealed effect of the black shadow power.
Therefore, at the first time when the black paper lantern was lit, Lin Mo did not go out immediately, but probed the situation of the black paper lantern, until he found such a change, and most of the doubts in his heart had been solved.
"That's the reason for the smell."
Sniffing lightly between his noses, Lin Mo at this time did not know the source of this smell, but he was able to determine that the smoke emitted by the black paper lantern could be traced and attached to the person's body.
"I didn't smell this smell yesterday, but the smell may have remained in the air, and when the old man burned the paper, my body was exposed for a while, and it may have been at that time that my body was contaminated with this strange smell, so I was only discovered by her when I followed the old lady."
There was a slight look of enlightenment in his eyes, and most of the problems that made Lin Mo feel strange were solved.
"But the power of this shadow can't isolate this smell, which is something I didn't expect, and it seems that I have to be more careful in the future."
Secretly thinking about it, Lin Mo thought of another thing at this time.
"Did the two women outside also notice my presence because of this smell?"
"No, even if I have this smell on my body, but I have a black paper lantern in my hand, even if this lantern is not lit, it shouldn't smell on me, and the old man has also lit this black paper lantern, this smell must also appear in the room, this smell should not make them alarmed."
"Forget it, let's not consider this matter for the time being, there is not much time, I have to go out and see the situation quickly."
Slowly opening the door, Lin Mo first glanced outside through the crack in the door, the corridor was black and empty, and there was no light in sight, this building had become as dark as before, and there was no light outside, Lin Mo knew that those strange figures outside had appeared.
Carrying a paper lantern, his footsteps moved slowly, the power of the shadow covered the soles of his feet, and there was no sound during the whole walk.
There was no one, the corridor was empty, and he didn't see anything, Lin Mo came to the entrance of the safe passage very smoothly, briefly checked the situation, and made sure that there was no danger, Lin Mo quickly walked down the stairs.
Coming to the door of the building, Lin Mo's expression had regained his calm, and what he was going to face next might be the biggest secret hidden in this garden community, and the thought of seeing the figure of Wuyang Wuyang about to appear in front of him, Lin Mo's heart couldn't help but beat a few more beats.
Holding the black paper lantern, he slowly pushed the door open, and a shackle dared to come from outside the door, it was a sticky feeling, as if there was a thick quagmire outside.
"I'll go, I finally know why the old lady came out before eleven o'clock!"
His face turned red, and Lin Mo continued to increase the strength on his arm, but he still faced a very strong sense of obstacle.
He didn't expect that before eleven o'clock, and after eleven o'clock, the power of pushing the door would be completely different.
Yesterday, when he learned that there would be strange changes in the community after eleven o'clock, but it would not affect the person holding the black paper lantern, Lin Mo had this kind of doubt, after returning to the bookstore yesterday, Lin Mo had carefully recalled that when the community was completely dark, it was not yet eleven o'clock.
This old lady did not come out after eleven o'clock, but walked out of this building less than a minute earlier, because Lin Mo's mind was completely attracted at that time, so there was a little error in the judgment of time.
But whether there was an error or not, Lin Mo had no way to determine, and now this situation finally allowed Lin Mo to determine the time change at that time.
Determined this, but there was no possibility of solving the current situation, and continued to exert force, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and finally pushed the door of the building open a gap for only one person to pass through.
Handed the black paper lantern forward, the feeling of stagnation eased a little, and then Lin Mo almost squeezed his body out of the gap, and the black paper lantern appeared outside, and the feeling of stagnation was instantly emptied, and the figures piled up at the door of the building were all scattered.
"Huh~ Uncle, I'm tired."
The whole person appeared outside the building, and the black paper lantern had been placed outside, but at this time, Lin Mo's body was already covered with sweat, and ordinary people seemed to be simply pushing the door, how could he not have thought that he would use so much strength.
He also understood why no one in those neighborhoods would be outside after 11 p.m.
Maybe it's not that they don't want to come out, but there is no way to get out of the building, from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the morning, the garden community will become a place that can only enter and not exit, and anyone who enters the building is basically impossible to come out at this time.
If anyone can get out of this building, that person must have a black paper lantern and be physically larger.
Just now, Lin Mo almost used more than ten times the strength of ordinary people, that is all the power he can use now, the others?
Lin Mo didn't think that there were many people like him, there were many in Maple City, unless... Not people.
"Before eleven o'clock, someone stood guard outside the old man's house, and after eleven o'clock, it was extremely difficult to push the door open, is this situation because of my appearance, or is it because of some other reason?"
Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, there was a complete contradiction, which made him very confused, obviously the old lady lent him the black paper lantern, and it didn't start to show that it was just a transaction, and the old lady hid something from him was not a little bit.
