Cthulhu Card Making: Medusa Card Making at the Beginning.

Chapter 116: When people and ghosts are in chaos
Lin Mo walked forward, and the rows of mummies behind him followed in an orderly manner.

"Shoggoth~" The densely packed scarlet blood eyes on the black suit turned upside down, staring at the row of mummies.

"Okay, Shoggoth, stop making noise and keep going inside." Lin Mo could naturally feel the Shoggoth's reaction.

But he just turned his head indifferently at the mummies with gray skin, sunken features and tightly wrinkled flesh, and then continued walking forward.

Each of the mummies seemed to be stained with kerosene, which gave off a faint glow under the dim light. The smell of kerosene almost completely covered the mummies.

In the entire building 201, there are dozens of mummies just on the floor where Lin Mo is currently.

The Soul-Destroying Umbrella covers up his breath as a living being, and the Yellow Spring Water around his body serves as a cover.

While resisting the erosion of the kerosene, it can also completely conceal its own aura.

There is no way these mummies could be aware of where they are.
All corpses can identify human breath.

Whether it is a zombie or a living corpse, the essence is to identify the location by identifying the breath of living people remaining in the air.

These so-called mummies in front of us are even lower-level than the above two types. They can probably only obey strange instructions.

Therefore, Lin Mo boldly guessed that these mummies were not following him, but were summoned by the strange 201 building.
Otherwise, these mummies would not be able to walk so steadily and with such uniform movements.

These mummies themselves are not powerful, but their numbers are huge.

Even if Lin Mo used the magic sword to chop them one by one, it would probably take him a long time.

Being able to control such a large group of mummies made Lin Mo think of the mutant clay man.

The opponent's final corpse transformation, even if it was successfully released at that time, would be far less than one-third of the scale of what is now in front of us.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Mo, who was possessed by the Shoggoth, walked for a while and then carefully stood aside.

Every single house in the Bi Hai 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 further 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, but after staying for less than a moment, they staggered out one by one.

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 was particularly dense at this moment. The aura it exuded was far stronger than any strange or alien creature Lin Mo had encountered before.
Lin Mo paused, not knowing for a moment whether he should go in.

At this moment, the last mummy has staggered into the elevator.

In less than a moment, the mummy came out again, staggering.

Then, a sinister voice came from the elevator: "These are not enough. Not enough."

Although the voice was hoarse, it was vaguely identifiable as that of a male.

At almost the same moment, the engraving on the soul-calling banner in the fate palace shone brightly.

In a place that Lin Mo could not see, black air condensed on the surface of the Soul-Calling Banner and its star magnitude increased.

"Who? Who's outside!"

The fluctuation of the aura of the soul-summoning flag in the life palace just now had obviously startled the strangeness in the elevator.

So the next moment, questions came from the elevator.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered, and at the same time, he put away the ash bowl that released the Yellow Spring Water and the Soul-Destroying Umbrella that concealed his breath, and used the soul-summoning flag in the contract within his body to cover up his own breath.

That strange aura quickly attached itself to Lin Mo's body.

With the blessing of the talent [Togetherness], Lin Mo's face turned extremely pale, his pair of black pupils shrank slightly, and the whites of his eyes occupied a large area of ​​his vision.

This was the first time that Lin Mo used his [Unity] talent to mobilize the power of the Soul Summoning Banner.

It can only be said that the effect is outstanding. At this moment, whether from his appearance or his aura, he does not look like a living person.
After feeling the body temperature dropping rapidly, Lin Mo suddenly realized a problem.

When I was riding in the hearse, I didn't need to hold the coin in my mouth.
However, now is not the time to think about these things.

After his thoughts wandered a little, Lin Mo concentrated and calmed himself, then stepped inside.

When Lin Mo saw it, he saw a middle-aged man wearing long clothes and with a grayish-green complexion.

In front of him, there were several disposable plastic buckets for holding water, but what was contained in them was not water, but kerosene from the mummies.

Lin Mo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with vigilance, his strength was infinitely close to that of B-.

It is also very likely that he was the arsonist of the Bi Hai Manor that year.

Two non-human figures were staring at each other in this small elevator.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him constantly, Lin Mo tried to find a suitable opportunity to inflict as heavy a blow as possible, and then absorb him with the Na Ling.

"Why did you get involved in this mess? Didn't I tell you not to come?" Seeing Lin Mo, the middle-aged man's expression became obviously agitated, and the eerie ghost aura on his body suddenly became stronger.

what?
Lin Mo resisted the urge to ask him back, "I shouldn't be the one asking you this." He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Whether it is a card spirit or a weird one, the more advanced they are, the more obvious their ability to remain rational and 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. He recognized the wrong ghost.

Could it be that the person who set the fire had an accomplice?

Just as Lin Mo was thinking, the middle-aged man took out a pair of stones of regular shapes and sizes from his trouser pocket and handed them to Lin Mo.

Netherfire Stone. Green quality material.

Lin Mo lowered his head, looking at the two stones of different sizes and shapes in his hands, and was suddenly stunned.

Damn it, he really treated me as an accomplice.

"Since you're here, come with me. You go to the first floor to set the fire, and I'll go to the top floor. The entire Bihai Manor was designed by me."

"Building 201 is the most special. They will definitely choose to hold the opening ceremony here. We can just burn these bastard card masters to death."

As the middle-aged man spoke, his expression became more and more agitated, his pale face began to turn into dark blue, and the ghostly aura on his body became stronger and stronger.

It has vaguely reached the intensity of B-level.

The entire elevator hall was covered with a thick layer of frost.

Lin Mo, who used his talent of "Unity", did not feel any discomfort from the increasingly strong ghost energy on the other party because he was calling upon the power of the soul-summoning flag.

He even mobilized the soul-summoning flag in his body and secretly drew the opponent's ghost energy to make up for the consumption of his own source of power.

With his current cultivation level at the high level of the Lamp Realm, which is close to perfection, it is still somewhat difficult for him to mobilize the power of purple-grade quality cards and maintain it.

Now using the opponent's ghost energy to replace the consumption of source power can make the soul-summoning banner last longer.

The change in the middle-aged man's aura did not actually surprise Lin Mo too much. What really surprised him was that the other party said that the entire Bi Hai Manor was designed by him.

Xu Bin, a famous architectural designer and non-card master, was also one of the victims of the Bi Hai Manor fire.

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 also 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 works and even risk his life?

For a moment, Lin Mo felt like he needed to grow a brain.

While Lin Mo was lost in thought, Xu Bin, who was beside him, had already walked out carrying a bucket of water.

Glancing at the bucket beside him, Lin Mo looked at Xu Bin who had already walked away, then summoned Jin Buhuan and swallowed it in one gulp.

It was naturally impossible for him to set the fire with Xu Bin.

As a good citizen, you should not do anything that violates the law.

But this kerosene is not ordinary kerosene after all, it is contaminated with a strange smell.

Just right for making materials
After collecting everything, Lin Mo walked out with the blessing of Jin Buhuan's concealment.

During this period, Lin Mo took Shugs back into the Palace of Life.

There was no way. To maintain the consumption of two purple cards at the same time, the source of energy in his body was really stretched.

This is also the result of using the core skills of the card with the blessing of the [Unity] talent, which reduces the source power consumed by half.

As Lin Mo stepped out of the elevator, the entire room 201 underwent a drastic change.

Not only the stench of decaying corpses, but also the burnt smell of kerosene completely disappeared at this moment.

The extremely dark environment around it also became extremely bright and dazzling at this moment.

The large crystal chandelier on the high ceiling rotates and releases a warm halo of light.

In the hall on the first floor, one mummified corpse after another began to fill with flesh and blood. There were men and women, and each of them was wearing gorgeous dresses and decent suits.

On their chests, they all wore badges shaped like crabapple flowers.

The badges come in two colors: blue and white. Blue is only a minority, representing the identity of the card master.

In contrast, white represents ordinary people.

It’s just that these ordinary people present are all outstanding people who have made great achievements in various industries and circles.

And Xu Bin was among them.

At this moment, Xu Bin looked like a living person, without any trace of ghostliness at all.

Almost everyone in the hall had a rosy complexion.

They gathered in groups of three or five, clinking their glasses, and everyone had a smile on their face.

In the corner, the sound of piano playing slowly emerged.

Amid the flowing springs and melodious music, the whole hall was filled with peace.

Lin Mo, with a pale face, stood on the second floor looking down, unable to 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 person between him and this group of laughing guys.
