Chapter 416 The Ghost Holding a Lantern
Lin Mo squatted in the corner and waved his hand, sweeping away some of the obstructive fog.
He's looking for some clues.
After experiencing a brief moment of being at a loss, Lin Mo quickly regained his mood.
This Guimen Village is indeed weird, and Lin Mo also admitted that they have encountered all kinds of weird and weird things since they came in. Even experienced masters like Lin Mo and Chen Bing couldn't handle it for a while.
As a result, they separated for a while, but Captain Chen was still missing.
Lin Mo felt that there were only two possibilities.
Either Captain Chen Bing left on his own, or he was kidnapped. If he was kidnapped, he would be alive and dead.
At the moment, Lin Mo can only analyze one by one.
If you encounter an enemy, you must take action. After all, Captain Chen is not a soft persimmon. His strength is there. If he really makes a move, he cannot be subdued instantly, so there will definitely be some traces left.
There must be something like footprints, scratches on the wall, disordered breath, or blood stains on the ground.
If not, Lin Mo would be more inclined to have Captain Chen leave on his own.
Just assuming that Captain Chen left on his own, there must be a reason. Logically speaking, he should have left some hints for himself.
So Lin Mo was squatting in the corner looking for clues.
Not to mention, I found it.
There is writing on the corner.
After seeing it clearly, Lin Mo couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
There are several scrawled words carved on the wall.
"I saw Lin Nan!"
Lin Mo really didn't expect this.
He thought about it.
First of all, the words were very illegible, indicating that Captain Chen was very anxious at the time, and he was talking about ‘seeing’ Lin Nan, not encountering or finding him.
It is very likely that Lin Nan's traces were discovered.
Because I wanted to chase him, I made a decision, left my handwriting, and then chased him immediately.
This is most likely.
Lin Mo came here to find Lin Nan. Whether he knew the secret of Guimen Village or not, it meant little to Lin Mo. As long as he finds Lin Nan, he can take people away immediately.
There are so many experts in the General Administration. If you report the situation, the General Administration will always think of a way to solve this problem.
As for A Bin, it is possible that he followed along with the rabbit.
The main problem now is that we don't know which direction they are going.
Lin Mo looked at the corner of the wall and first ruled out the direction of the stage. He felt that it shouldn't be in this direction. There were too many nightmares over there and it would be too dangerous to go there. In addition, it shouldn't be the direction he left just now. If it was, he would have taken the same route just now. You should be able to run into them when you come back.
So in this way, there are only two directions left.
And here, it is a T-intersection, so there is only one road.
Of course, Lin Mo could choose to sit back and wait for the rabbit instead of pursuing him. If Captain Chen finds Lin Nan, he will definitely come back to meet him; if he doesn't find him, he will come back to meet him.
But this is all an ideal state. Who can be sure that there is nothing more terrifying in Guimen Village besides the corpses of mothers and daughters?
What if Captain Chen is in danger?
So it's better to chase after him and take a look.
Lin Mo did what he thought of and immediately walked in that direction.
He was not walking fast, so he paid attention to see if there were any clues along the way. Chen Bing was relatively experienced. Since he had carved words on the wall, he could guess that he would chase him. It was normal to leave some marks on the road.
But Lin Mo was disappointed.
He found no markings, no arrows on the walls, no small objects scattered on the floor.
When they reached a fork in the road, Lin Mo felt that he couldn't go on like this.
It was possible that his judgment was wrong, and Chen Bing did not pursue him this way.
Lin Mo was thinking, should he go back to the corner just now and think of a solution?
Just then, he heard a cock crow.
Lin Mo immediately remembered that this was the cockcrow he and Chen Bing heard outside Guimen Village just after they entered the gray fog. At that time, this sound helped Lin Mo and the others get out of trouble.
This time, after the cockcrow, the strange tall figure outside the village left.
But after the rooster crows this time, the faint sound of singing and opera behind him disappeared.
Lin Mo listened carefully and saw that he had really finished singing.
Lin Mo immediately realized that without the show, the villagers and the three terrifying nightmares would disperse. In this case, the village would be in danger, because they might encounter some horrible dirty things at any time.
In this situation, Lin Mo has nowhere to go.
So he carefully identified the direction from which the rooster's crow came just now, and immediately looked for it.
Right now, if there are clues, follow them up, maybe you can find new clues.
After walking forward for a while, Lin Mo found a stone bridge in front of him.
The stone bridge is not big, just over one meter wide and two meters long, and is made of stones. When I walked to the top and looked down, I saw a small stream with a slow flow rate and surrounded by vegetation.
At this moment, Lin Mo heard a rush of footsteps approaching from behind.
The footsteps were very fast and urgent, accompanied by a strong sense of danger.
Lin Mo's heart moved. Without saying anything, he squatted down and reached out to grab the edge of the stone bridge. Then he flipped over and used his arm strength to grab the gap under the stone bridge. His whole body was suspended under the stone bridge.
Then he exerted force on his waist and abdomen and pushed his feet on the stone wall next to him to stabilize his body.
It's like hiding under the stone bridge, making it extremely difficult to find.
As soon as I hid, I heard footsteps above my head.
With the heavy footsteps and the special aura, Lin Mo speculated that the owner of the footsteps was the tall figure he and Chen Bing met when they first arrived.
Lin Mo remembered that this thing was still wearing a red lantern at that time.
The footsteps stopped right above the stone bridge.
And it was right above Lin Mo's head, very close.
Lin Mo was like a gecko under the stone bridge, pressing his body as close to the belly of the stone bridge as possible. In this way, even if he looked down, he would never be able to find Lin Mo.
But Lin Mo couldn't actually hold on to this extreme action-like posture for long.
If you can't hold on, you'll fall.
Lin Mo held his breath and concentrated, saving as much energy as possible. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the creek.
In the darkness, the small river surface can also be used as a long mirror.
Of course, if you want to see the reflection on the water clearly in this dim and foggy weather, you have to rely on a certain light source.
Coincidentally, the other party was still holding the lantern in his hand.
In this way, Lin Mo could clearly see the person's appearance through the reflection on the river and the red light on the lantern. On the other hand, because it was pitch dark under the bridge, it was impossible for the other party to spot Lin Mo even if he looked at the river surface.
Under the reflection of the water, the other party's appearance is distorted. After all, there is only a small stream here, and of course it cannot be seen clearly if the flow is too fast. In short, the other party's face was expressionless and looked weird.
Lin Mo looked away slightly, but when he looked at the reflection on the river again, he could no longer find the other party.
Weird!
Lin Mo suddenly felt something strange next to him. He turned around and saw the tall figure looking down from above. The expressionless face stretched out from above. On the cold and numb face, the corners of the mouth were raised, and there was a vague smile on his face. He gave an extremely weird smile.
Chapter one in the early morning, to be honest, when I was writing this chapter, Eggplant fell asleep several times.
