This sound was neither loud nor small, but it directly solidified the originally relaxed air, and even tainted some of the embarrassing atmosphere.
Chen Zuo stood solemnly at the door, checking from time to time to see if anyone was passing by, and then quietly pricked up his ears.
The corners of Shen Lin's mouth were twitching. No matter how he imagined it, he never expected this dramatic scene.
"Boy, don't scream. This is the first time we've met."
The child didn't yell, but obediently picked up the apple on the table and took a bite, speaking vaguely.
"My father said that life-saving grace is a great favor. It is like rebirth as a parent. It is equivalent to the fact that I died before and you gave birth to me now, so you are my father."
What you said makes sense, and I can't even refute it.
Shen Lin Gujing Wubo's expression began to fluctuate, and he felt that he could beat this bastard to death in the next second.
"No nonsense!"
He warned again, but the posture of the naughty boy in front of him was obviously not a deterrent.
"Introduce yourself." Shen Lin added.
The boy probably felt it was too big to eat halfway through, so he cut it open with a knife, and then handed half of it to Shen Lin like a treasure.
Shen Lin's muscles tensed up again. He promised that he would rather fight another eight hundred rounds with the devil. What a big deal.
He didn't know how he took the half apple. The naughty boy was so happy that he jumped out of bed and assumed a military posture as if he was standing guard.
"Reporting to Dad, my name is Chen Mo. I live in Room 1001, Building 2, Tuandou Garden, Daxia City. I am currently the fifth-grade monitor of Fandou Elementary School. I am a standard three-good student. The report is completed."
The corners of Shen Lin's mouth were twitching to the point of cramping. He wanted to beat this naughty kid, but he was afraid of accidentally hitting him hard and incapacitating him.
"Be serious." Shen Lin said.
Damn, I'm here for interrogation, not to take care of the children. What is going on now.
"Okay, Dad." Chen Mo kept saying "Dad", as if he had convinced Shen Lin. His pretty little face was working hard, but with his immature body, he couldn't say anything. Funny.
After losing to him, Shen Lin broke his defense.
"Stop it. Go back to your bed. I have something to ask you."
"Copy that, Dad."
Following the order, Chen Mo ran into bed and looked at Shen Lin obediently.
Those eyes were really pure, as if a child of this age could reveal them, but Shen Lin knew what else this kid was planning.
"Are you a ghost master?"
According to our understanding, Chen Mo has been missing for more than half a month, but he is ranked second, which shows that he was devoured not long ago. It is almost impossible for a child to survive in that situation for so long.
"Tell me, dad, I don't understand." Chen Mo said. He really didn't understand. He didn't know what the ghost controller in Shen Lin's words meant.
Shen Lin spoke.
"You should have encountered something. Did you control any mysterious power through ghosts?"
Chen Mo was really silent now. He seemed to be thinking about how to speak and organizing his words.
"Yes, I just came home from Uncle Zhang's house with my father, and I fell into a very strange place. Because I was very hungry, I ate something, and then I found that my tongue was weird." Chen Mo's voice The more he talked about it, the younger he became. Mentioning his deceased father made his morale drop a lot. Shen Lin even saw him pretending to be strong and wiping tears in bed.
It didn't expose this kid's strength. This kid was pretty good. It was rare for him to remain mentally normal after experiencing something like this.
"Tongue? Stick it out and have a look." Shen Lin said.
Chen Mo nodded, obediently followed the instructions, sat upright on the bed, opened his mouth wide and exposed his tongue.
It was a red tongue with a light blue color, as if it was pulled out from a dead person who had been dead for a long time. It was connected to the base of Chen Mo's tongue. The strange red and blue color seemed so incompatible with the entire mouth.
This is obviously a fierce ghost that has not yet recovered. Judging from the current situation, it is quite mild and does not even mean to bite back.
This may be because the ghost's recovery level is extremely low, or it may be that the ghost's safety level is extremely high.
Just like the ghost that Wang Xiaoming had painstakingly prepared for his brother, it was extremely stable and easy to control, which was quite rare among fierce ghosts.
"Do you know what this is?" Shen Lin was asking. He was asking the child if he knew that what he had in his mouth was actually a ghost or part of a ghost.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he was about to shake his head. His head that had just been swinging paused, and he nodded slowly.
Being young does not mean being stupid. Chen Mo is even more intelligent. He thought about everything he encountered in that weird space and realized something.
He was very calm, not calm like a child of this age. He put away his playful smile that was rare, looked at Shen Lin's glasses, spoke slowly, and asked seriously.
"So, am I going to die?"
Shen Lin was caught off guard by this question. He smiled bitterly and touched the naughty child's head.
"In other words, he will live about as long as me."
This is true. If he doesn't find a way to control the second ghost as soon as possible, the ghost will devour him within three months.
Originally, this time lasted for half a year, but this trip to Longhu Villa greatly accelerated the ghost phase's recovery.
He concealed this, like a mentally mature adult who always wanted to leave a little hope for his children.
Chen Mo swept away his decadence and looked very happy. He didn't know whether he understood what all this meant.
"That's okay. I'm very satisfied to be able to live almost as well as dad."
He finished the last bite of the apple and patted his belly, looking quite satisfied.
"Do you know its capabilities?" Shen Lin asked.
Chen Mo understood the meaning of this sentence, and Shen Lin was asking about the weird tongue in his mouth.
"Well, I asked him to curse. If I curse a person very strongly, then he will be in the near future..."
Chen Mo didn't say anything further, and Shen Lin's expression changed slightly.
Similar words that are completely negative? How could such a ghost exist? It is almost a bug-level existence in the current recovery world. If confirmed, Chen Mo would become the top power among ghost controllers.
"Are there any restrictions?"
Just as there are many restrictions on the appearance of ghosts, there is a high probability that the ghost curse itself has some decisive restrictions.
Chen Mo nodded. He had explored a lot in that completely upside-down world and probably understood something.
"It can only work on people close to me, or on myself."
Um? ? ?
Shen Lin was stunned, what is this, a suicide master? The evil star? It's just a restriction that directly turns a ghost from a strategic force into a useless one.
In other words, this ghost has a pattern, and the triggering condition is someone close to Chen Mo, and then he can choose to activate the curse and let this person die.
Crazy, this is nothing.
"Then how did you survive?" Under such conditions, it is considered good that this naughty kid did not trick himself to death. It is incredible that he is alive.
Chen Mo rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"I, I'm so hungry, and it's very dangerous there. I cursed myself that I would die from the attack in half a month."
Talent, Shen Lin was slightly stunned, as if he had caught something.
"Wait, you said, you cursed yourself to die in half a month, so you were safe and sound in half a month?" Shen Lin exclaimed.
"Well, that's right." Chen Mo admitted honestly.
Does an absolute curse also mean absolute protection?
If a person is cursed to die after half a month, then he is protected by the curse for half a month.
This reminded Shen Lin of a famous supernatural object in the original work.
Music box!
The ability of ghost curse is almost the same as that of a music box.
Wait, we can't be so optimistic. There are limits to the power of ghosts. Shen Lin clearly remembers that the protection of the music box is directly proportional to his terror.
When Xiao Yang was desperate, he made a deal with the Ghost Cabinet to solve the curse of the music box, but was rejected.
There is no guarantee that that weird ghost cupboard can save Yang Jian from the curse of the music box.
Shen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that part of the plot made him very forward-looking. He realized that Chen Mo's ghost had worked well and might be used as a strategic reserve of power.
"Why half a month?" Shen Lin once grasped the key point, and he had a premonition of something bad happening.
Chen Mo's expression was a little strange, and he even felt scared, so he explained honestly.
"I don't know." Chen Mo shook his head, the fear on his face clearly revealed.
"I tried for more than half a month, but before I could say anything, I had a weird feeling. If I spoke, I would die."
Will the evil spirit revive? Shen Lin's half-closed eyes opened, and every ghost controller would truly feel the ghost's resurgence. The feelings were different, and the ghost's appearance showed its own movement and influence on Shen Lin.
He began to think about everything about Chen Mo.
Because of the reverse force of the ghost curse, even if he did not eat or drink for half a month, Chen Mo still survived until he was swallowed by the ghost staircase. This is consistent with his death after being attacked for half a month under the curse.
If Shen Lin hadn't arrived, Chen Mo might have died.
Wait, that's not right. This is the power from the ghost curse. Even if the ghost staircase itself does not kill him, the burst of power from the ghost curse will kill Chen Mo.
What is the reason for this?
Shen Lin looked at Chen Mo in front of him again.
Did this kid achieve the balance of the ghost's power under some unexpected circumstances, and did he survive?
Just like the curse of the camera that could predict the future that Yang Jian encountered in Japan and was protected by the ghost cabinet, Chen Mo survived because of the pull of the ghost's power.
The ghost staircase itself does not kill people. Just like a ghost, it will devour people or ghosts and use it as a backup battery to influence the ghosts.
Just like Li Meng's own situation, he did not die, but his consciousness was swallowed up.
The ghost curse protected the kid's consciousness from the impact of the ghost staircase, and the ghost staircase protected the kid's body from the impact of the ghost curse.
The impact of the two ghosts reached an inexplicable balance due to Shen Lin's presence, and finally dissipated, ensuring Chen Mo's survival.
