Chapter 116: When People and Ghosts Are in a State of Confusion
Lin Mo walked forward, and the rows of mummies behind him followed in an orderly manner.
"Shoggoth~" On the black suit, the densely packed scarlet blood eyes turned upside down and stared at the row of mummies.
"Okay, Shoggoth, stop making noise, keep going inside." Lin Mo could naturally feel the reaction of Shoggoth.
But he just looked back indifferently at the mummies with gray skin, sunken facial features, and tightly wrinkled skin and flesh, and then continued to move forward.
Each mummies seemed to be stained with kerosene. Under the weak light, a hint of luster appeared faintly. The smell of kerosene almost completely covered the mummies.
In this whole building 201, there are dozens of mummies on the floor where Lin Mo is currently.
With the Soul-Destroying Umbrella to cover the breath of the living, plus the Yellow Spring Water around the body as a cover.
While resisting the erosion of these kerosene, it can also completely hide its own breath.
These mummies simply couldn't detect where they were.
All corpses can identify human breath.
Whether it's a zombie or a living corpse, they essentially identify their location by identifying the breath of living people remaining in the air.
And these so-called mummies in front of them are lower-level than the above two types. They can only follow strange instructions.
So, Lin Mo boldly guessed that these mummies were not following him, but were summoned by the strangeness of Building 201.
Otherwise, these mummies couldn't walk so steadily and in unison.
These mummies themselves are not powerful, but they can't stand the huge number.
Even if he took the magic knife and chopped them one by one, Lin Mo estimated that it would take a long time.
Being able to control such a large group of mummies. This made Lin Mo think of the mutant clay man.
Even if the other party's last corpse transformation was successfully released at that time, its scale was far less than one-third of the one in front of him.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Mo, who was possessed by the shoggoth, walked for a while and then stood aside carefully.
Each of the single-family houses in the Bihai Manor was built to the most luxurious housing standards at the time.
If there had not been a fire, most of the people living here would have been successful businessmen and some well-known figures in their respective circles.
As the mummies passed by Lin Mo, his guess was confirmed.
Holding an umbrella, Lin Mo followed quietly.
Soon, he arrived at the destination of this mission, the elevator of Building 201.
What surprised Lin Mo was that the mummies in front of him were queuing up to enter the elevator room, but after staying for less than a moment, they walked out one by one.
And after these mummies came out, there was no kerosene on their bodies.
At the same time, Lin Mo's brows tightened.
The black air in the elevator room was particularly strong at this moment. The breath it exuded was far better than any weird or alien Lin Mo had encountered before.
Lin Mo paused, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should go in.
At this moment, the last mummy has staggered into the elevator.
In less than a moment, the mummy staggered out again.
Then, a sinister voice came from the elevator: "It's just these. It's not enough. It's not enough."
Although the voice was hoarse, it was vaguely heard that it was a male.
At almost the same time, the engraving of the soul-calling pennant in the fate palace shone brightly.
In a position that Lin Mo couldn't see, the black air on the card surface of the soul-calling pennant condensed, and the star magnitude increased.
"Who? Who's outside!"
The fluctuation of the breath of the soul-calling pennant in the fate palace just now obviously startled the weirdness in the elevator.
So the next moment, there was a question in the elevator.
Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and at the same time he put away the gray jar bowl that released the Yellow Spring Water and the soul-destroying umbrella that concealed the breath, and used the soul-calling pennant in his body to cover his own breath.
The weird breath quickly climbed around Lin Mo.
With the blessing of the talent of [One Heart], Lin Mo's face turned extremely pale, his black pupils shrank slightly, and the white of his eyes occupied a large area of his vision.
This was the first time that Lin Mo used the talent of [One Heart] to mobilize the power of the soul-calling flag.
It can only be said that the effect is outstanding. At this time, he did not look like a living person, whether from his appearance or from his breath.
After feeling the rapid drop in body temperature around him, Lin Mo suddenly realized a problem.
When he was sitting in the hearse, he did not need to hold the copper coin at all.
However, now is not the time to consider these.
After a little divergence of thoughts, Lin Mo concentrated and calmed down, and then walked in.
When he entered the eyes, Lin Mo saw a middle-aged man in long clothes with the same gray-green complexion.
In front of him, there were several disposable plastic buckets for holding water, but what was in them was not water, but the kerosene from the mummies.
Lin Mo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a vigilant face, and his strength was infinitely close to the weirdness of B-.
It is also possible that he was the arsonist of the Bihai Manor.
Two figures that did not look like humans were staring at each other in this small elevator.
Lin Mo kept looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, trying to find a suitable opportunity to injure him as much as possible, and then absorb him with the soul.
"Why did you come to wade into this muddy water? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Seeing Lin Mo, the middle-aged man's expression became obviously excited, and the eerie ghost aura on his body suddenly became more and more intense.
Ah?
Lin Mo resisted the urge to ask him back, "Isn't this something I should ask you?" He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
Whether it's a card spirit or a weird thing, the more advanced it is, the more they can maintain their rationality and will not engage in barbaric behavior such as yelling and shouting.
At least on the surface, they can still communicate.
After a moment of surprise, Lin Mo vaguely realized that the other party must have recognized the wrong person.
No. I recognized the wrong ghost.
Could it be that the arsonist had an accomplice?
While Lin Mo was thinking, the middle-aged man took out a pair of stones of different sizes and regular shapes from his trouser pocket and handed them to Lin Mo.
Hell Fire Stone. Green quality material.
Lin Mo lowered his head and looked at the two stones of different sizes and shapes in his hand, and was suddenly stunned.
Damn, he really thought I was an accomplice.
"Since you are here, come with me. You go to the first floor to set fire, and I will go to the top floor. I designed the entire Bihai Manor."
"Building 201 is the most special. They will definitely choose to hold the opening ceremony here. We just happened to burn these bastard card masters to death."
The middle-aged man said, his expression became more and more excited, his pale face began to turn dark blue, and the ghost energy on his body became stronger and stronger.
It has vaguely reached the strength of B-level.
The entire elevator room has been covered with a thick layer of frost.
And Lin Mo, who used the [Concentric] talent, did not feel any discomfort about the increasingly strong ghost energy on the other party because he used the power of the soul-summoning flag.
He even mobilized the soul-summoning flag in his body and secretly continuously extracted the other party's ghost energy to make up for the consumption of his own source power.
With his current nearly perfect cultivation of the high-level lamp level, it is still somewhat difficult to mobilize the power of purple-level quality cards and maintain them.
Now using the opponent's ghost energy to replace the consumption of source power can make the soul-calling flag last longer.
The change in the aura of the middle-aged man did not surprise Lin Mo too much. What really surprised him was that the other party said that this Bihai Manor was designed by him.
Xu Bin, a famous architectural designer and non-card master, was also one of the victims of the fire in Bihai Manor.
After the middle-aged man said this, Lin Mo quickly thought of a corresponding name in his mind.
Because he was on the list of victims and was the designer of the entire manor building, Lin Mo paid special attention to him.
Did Xu Bin set the fire himself?
Why did he burn his own work and even risk his life.
For a while, Lin Mo just felt that he had to grow a brain.
Just as Lin Mo was thinking about it, Xu Bin beside him had already walked out with a bucket.
Glancing at the bucket beside him, Lin Mo looked at Xu Bin who had already walked away, and then summoned Jin Buhuan to swallow it in one gulp.
Of course, he couldn't set the fire with Xu Bin.
Good citizens should not do anything that violates the law and discipline.
But this kerosene is not ordinary kerosene after all, it has been stained with strange smell.
It can be used as a material
After collecting everything, Lin Mo also stepped out with the blessing of Jin Buhuan's concealment.
During this period, Lin Mo took the Shugos back into the life palace.
There was no way, to maintain the consumption of two purple cards at the same time, the source power in his body was really stretched.
This is still the result of using the core skills of the card under the blessing of the [Concentric] talent, and the source power consumed was halved.
As Lin Mo took a step out of the elevator, the changes in the entire 201 room completely changed dramatically.
Not only the smell of corpse corruption, and the smell of burnt kerosene completely disappeared at this moment.
The extremely dark environment around also became extremely bright and dazzling at this moment.
The large crystal chandelier on the high ceiling rotated and released a warm halo.
In the hall on the first floor, the mummies began to fill with flesh and blood. There were men and women, and everyone was wearing gorgeous dresses and decent suits.
On their chests, they all had badges shaped like crabapple flowers.
The badges were divided into blue and white. Blue was only a minority, representing their identity as card masters.
In contrast, white represented ordinary people.
However, these ordinary people present were all outstanding people in various industries and circles.
And Xu Bin was among them.
At this time, Xu Bin looked like a living person, and there was no ghost in him at all.
Almost everyone in the hall had a ruddy complexion.
They gathered in groups of three or five, clinking glasses, and everyone had a smile on their face.
In the corner, the sound of piano playing slowly sounded.
Between the clear springs and flowing water, the music was melodious and the whole hall was peaceful.
Lin Mo, with a pale face, stood on the second floor and looked down, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
These industry elites were, not long ago, horrifying mummies hanging from the ceiling.
At this moment, he couldn't tell who was the living one, him or this group of laughing and talking guys.
