This book is obviously contrary to the current era, and I don't know from which time point it was passed down to the present.
It is also possible that this is a novel written by a novelist from a previous civilization and preserved by people from a later civilization.
Li Mo slowly sat down on the ground, leaned against the tree again, and took out some dry food from his backpack.
He was so hungry. Otto must have lied to Kallen and said he was not hungry. He left as much food as possible for Kallen and forced himself to endure the hunger.
Li Mo would never let himself be wronged.
In the primeval forest, there are no strange things, no strange powers, and the child is weak and sickly, so his sensitivity and intuition have declined.
The debuff has been fully stacked, and Li Mo doesn't want to be in a hungry state that will continue to deduct health.
But an answer is still necessary, just to test Kallen's attitude.
Li Mo stared at the campfire. He and Karen had been staying here for quite some time, but the weirdo had not yet arrived.
Explain two possibilities:
1. Bonfire is similar to an auditorium or a wing room, which can block and prevent ghosts from entering.
2. There are no ghosts around here at all.
The second possibility is contrary to the rules of the strange cave, so the second one needs to be revised -
2. There is a ghost nearby, but it cannot move until the pattern is triggered.
Li Mo turned his head and said with a smile:
"Then what do you think he is, that strange primitive man who suddenly appeared? You may not feel anything when I say this, but for example, if I were that strange primitive man, would you feel scared?"
"No, you are Otto, my friend, a great inventor, why should I be afraid?" Karen was very puzzled.
The plan succeeded...
Li Mo began to move his face closer to Karen little by little, keeping his facial expression motionless throughout the process, imitating the description in the book.
The lips were raised to an exaggerated degree, but the eyebrows were controlled and kept as still as possible.
Even though Li Mo was a real living person and couldn't do it, he still managed to imitate it to some extent.
As the distance between the two grew closer, Kallen pushed Li Mo away.
"Mmm!"
Li Mo rubbed his butt in pain, and Karen quickly came over to apologize: "I'm sorry, Otto, I didn't mean it, it's just..."
"You're scared." Li Mo told the truth.
Kallen nodded, not denying it.
With Kallen's support, Li Mo sat up straight again: "Those primitive people might be the ancestors of mankind. I mean, they are the first humans."
Rather than the humans of our era.
"That strange primitive being you mentioned is similar to humans, yet different from them. Hidden among the crowd, it might be a friend or relative you and I know well."
"They have no origin. No one knows where they came from, or why they want to infiltrate human society and disguise themselves as normal humans."
"Most people get scared when they see how different it is from humans, but sometimes it doesn't reveal any flaws, but some intuitive people still notice it and feel scared."
"But where does the fear come from? If there are no flaws, why would you feel scared?"
"Why do you say...?"
Li Mo leaned forward again and stared at Karen.
Kallen didn't quite understand and just watched Li Mo making strange expressions. After learning that Li Mo was pretending, she didn't feel scared at all.
"You smell so good, just like the food I just ate." Li Mo said abruptly.
At this moment, Karen's body tensed up again, her scalp shrank, and she wanted to push him away but was wondering if Li Mo was joking.
Li Mo didn't stop, his face got closer and closer to Karen, and he giggled from time to time.
"Wheel..." Kallen swallowed and didn't move.
Li Mo turned around and sat back down, his expression returning to normal. He laughed out loud, "Hahaha, how's it going? Are you scared?"
Li Mo was half joking, while also observing Karen's reaction.
His right hand was placed behind his back, tightly gripping a fire stick.
This was what he took out when he took the food out of his backpack.
From the very beginning, he did not believe in Karen's plan. If the other party showed abnormal state, what Li Mo had to do was to kill her immediately.
Even if Kallen becomes extremely talented in the future, she is just a child now.
As we all know, if a person is killed, he will die.
"Hmph! Just wait, I'll scare you when I find the chance!" Karen said angrily.
"I'm waiting. It's not easy to scare me." Li Mo said proudly, and his vigilance towards Karen gradually decreased.
This is a normal reaction.
Kallen was indignant, but still leaned on his shoulder. "Why are you scaring me for no reason? Don't you know how strange you were just now, like..."
Li Mo immediately responded: "Just like that strange primitive man, right?"
Kallen nodded and said "hmm".
A quilt wrapped around the two of them, and the orange-yellow firelight illuminated their young faces.
Chapter 2: Am I really back home?
"I'm just answering your question," Li Mo said calmly. "My abnormal behavior frightens you, but I'm not a weird person. So you're just afraid that I might do something abnormal that you didn't expect."
“But I’m not that weird.”
Li Mo stretched out his hand to warm himself by the fire. He was freezing cold. If he caught a cold and had a high fever in this weather, he would be in great trouble...
No, it's not about suffering, it's about dying!
Kallen might not die because of Kaslana's physique, but as the frail Otto Apokalis, he would definitely die.
If you can last three days, it's a success; if you can last five days, it's a miracle.
Nutritional supplementation in the primeval forest is a joke, and treatment is even more of a pipe dream. Once you have a high fever, you can only rely on your own immunity to fight it.
If you can't resist, you will die.
I definitely can't handle it with my small body, so I can't catch a cold.
Not to mention the food in the backpack, if they couldn't find Francis soon, the two of them would really starve to death.
Kallen eats so much and she is so weak.
"Hmm..." Kallen seemed to understand but not quite.
"Otto, there's no name in the book. What do you think this strange person should be called?"
Li Mo thought for a moment and made up a name: "Emmm... Since they look so much like humans but aren't humans, let's call them pseudo-humans, unknown creatures disguised as humans. No, they aren't really creatures at all, they're an extremely strange existence."
"But they're just stories from books. Maybe someone just made them up for fun to scare people."
"At least I've never encountered one."
When ghosts disguise themselves as humans, they are very different from the pseudo-humans described in the book.
Even Li Mo, who has been dealing with ghosts for many years, believes that fake people are fictitious.
Because its existence itself reveals some unknown weirdness.
Did he kill anyone? The book doesn't say.
But is it really harmless? From the fresh corpse of the giant animal and the eerie smile of the man holding the torch, it can be seen that it is very threatening.
It can be done without even killing anyone.
If one must classify it as weird, Li Mo can only conclude that the pseudo-human has the ability to transfer consciousness.
After triggering the pattern, transfer your consciousness to another living person.
The sudden disappearance shows that the pseudo-man has no entity, and even if the strange pistol is still there, it cannot be successfully suppressed.
As for what the rule is, it is probably that no flaws are detected.
And it is an absolute rule. Even if you know it is not a human being, if you fail to find a reasonable flaw in the judgment within a certain period of time, the rule will be triggered immediately and you will become the next pseudo-human.
However, these are just Li Mo's guesses. He doesn't want to think about this problem anymore. His energy should not be wasted on science fiction novels of previous civilizations.
"Oh."
Kallen uttered, "I'm hungry again."
Li Mo hesitated for a long time, sighed, opened his backpack, and took out the amount of food that Karen could eat in one go.
But if you do this, there won’t be much food in the backpack, so you have to hunt during the day.
Otherwise you will go hungry tomorrow.
When Kallen saw the food, her eyes lit up and she started eating it with relish.
Li Mo leaned against a tree, thinking about his next plan.
When did he fall into the illusion?
Or maybe this isn't an illusion...
Li Mo began to recall the memories of his original world and other worlds.
But he discovered something very strange. He believed that the memory of this world was his true self.
"……who I am?"
"Otto Apokalis?"
"Or Li Mo?"
Li Mo fell into self-doubt, then shook his head, repeatedly reminding himself that he was Li Mo.
He had a premonition that as time went by, he would only become more and more trapped in this identity, and might even think that "Li Mo" was just a fake body in a dream, a false fantasy, and not his true self.
Soon, this hunch was confirmed.
"Well……"
His head was splitting with pain. The more Li Mo accepted himself as Li Mo, the more it hurt.
"Qiluo..."
Li Mo recalled the more than ten years of married life he and Shi Yu Qiluo had spent in the haunted house, but he still couldn't bear the reduction in his self-awareness.
"Mei..."
Li Mo recalls his fights and support with Mei, but his cognitive decline continues.
"Kiana!"
"Haah...haah..."
Li Mo shouted out Kiana's name loudly. Finally, the moment the voice fell, Li Mo regained consciousness, breathing heavily.
He almost thought he was really Otto.
"Otto? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing...anything. Are you full? If not, I have it in my backpack..."
Li Mo was about to reach out to take it but was stopped by Karen, "No, no, we have to save some food. We don't know how long it will take to find our father."
Li Mo: "There's no food left in my backpack."
Kallen: "Uh... okay, tomorrow I'll see if I can steal some bird eggs and pick some fruit."
Li Mo: "No, I'm worried. Let's not pick the fruit. If you must go, take me with you. I'll take whatever I say."
Kallen: "Okay. By the way, Otto, what's the difference between pseudo-humans and humans? Besides their weird behavior, is that all?"
Li Mo: "What's the difference... you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Kallen: "How can I understand if you don't tell me?"
Li Mo: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
