Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Li Mo scolded him mercilessly and kicked him hard on the knee.

The other party wanted to fight back but saw Nicholas' murderous eyes and could only give up in disappointment.

"If you don't fight hard, you'll just be played with by others."

"The things you think about in your head have destined you to be a weak person in this life. Even if I kick your legs off right now, it won't matter, do you understand?"

"That's enough, come back." Nicholas reminded.

Li Mo nodded and stepped back. He knew that Nicholas was giving him a way out.

Chapter 3: The Pseudo-Man's Request (7k)

"follow me."

Nicholas led Li Mo back to his room, where Li Mo saw rows of historical books piled on the bookshelf, with signs of wear and tear that were consistent with the era.

The story recorded in the book in Karen's hand is very ancient and must have been preserved for a long time in the long river of history.

I don't know from which time point it was passed down.

But the problem came again.

The book records events that happened a million years ago, but Li Mo knew very well that a book could never be preserved for a million years unless it was carefully protected by a modern civilization and a protective layer was created.

But then, it would be difficult for people to get it.

And the way of recording information in books is actually not very efficient, it is very low compared to the entire history.

It would be more realistic to carve the content on the stone wall in the cave.

However, since it exists, Li Mo will still pay attention to books of the same style. Unfortunately, no similar books were found in Nicholas' room.

"What are you looking at? Observing an unfamiliar environment? Good habit."

Nicholas commented calmly, walked over to his seat and sat down, facing Li Mo.

"Have you shown your fangs yet? Otto Apokalis. Do you know what you need to pay to become the heir of your family?"

Nicholas looked indifferent, as did Li Mo.

Nicholas did not think that he was not Otto, and even thought that he had been hiding for a long time and had only now revealed his true strength.

Other people might wonder why Li Mo's temperament changed so drastically, but those who have been involved in intrigues between families for years would subconsciously think that Li Mo was hiding his incompetence before.

Don't act too mature, but don't act too childish either.

Li Mo weighed the pros and cons in his mind and had to think of an excuse to convince the old man.

"It doesn't matter. I just feel like I should have more rights now. It would make my life easier."

"I know that power is like a giant whirlpool. Anyone who tries to touch it will be deeply trapped in it, unable to control themselves. Freedom gained on the basis of power will eventually become a cage for free will."

“But I need it.”

Li Mo stretched out his hand and looked at Nicholas seriously, trying to persuade him.

"That's all?" Nicholas asked.

"That's all." Li Mo replied.

The room fell into silent silence. The two looked at each other. Li Mo did not show any fear. He met Nicholas's gaze directly and never looked away.

After a long while, Nicholas finally spoke: "It's because of the youngest daughter of the patriarch of the Kaslana family, the girl named Kallen. You like her."

"I……"

Before Li Mo could explain, Nicholas added, "Don't think I've ignored you. I've given every child in the Apokalys family a fair chance to compete. All of your actions are within my sight."

"It started from that day when Kallen climbed over the wall to return the damaged paper airplane to you. That's when you fell in love with her, right?"

Li Mo: “…”

Otto likes it, what does it have to do with me, Li Mo?

Although we both like white-haired dumplings, that doesn’t count.

Kallen is Kiana's ancestor, okay? The generations are messed up.

"You know, in the Game of Thrones, feelings are just a bargaining chip that can be discarded at any time. The moment they lose their value, they have no reason to exist." Nicholas said, gauging Li Mo's reaction. "What do you think?"

Li Mo stood opposite, motionless, like a petrified statue.

"Of all my children, you are the most complex... You inherited your mother Sabreth's intelligence, learned some scheming from me, and your sinister side is very much like your grandfather Frank. People say you are weak and incompetent, but that is clearly not the case. Although you have shown today that your thoughts and actions far exceed those of your peers, I have to say clearly that you are not qualified to inherit the position of head of the family."

"Unless you can use Kallen Kaslana as a stepping stone to your rise to power, everything else is just empty talk."

Nicholas thought Otto would be silent for a long time, but the next second, the voice of his answer immediately fell to the ground.

"Okay."

"Why not?"

The sun was half blocked by the western mountains, and the dim afterglow of the sunset shone from the door to Li Mo's back.

Because of the lighting effect, his face looked gloomy and unfamiliar.

Li Mo spoke carefully, as if swearing an oath, "I, Otto Apokalis, promise to use Kallen Kaslana as a stepping stone to the pinnacle of power."

"Not only that, but also my mother, Sabrese Shaniat, my brothers and sisters: Ferdinand, Fabian, Lisa, and you."

"They will all become tools for me to achieve my goals."

Li Mo read it in a sonorous and powerful voice. After all, he made the promise in the identity of Otto, not Li Mo.

Once a promise is made, it is a promise. So what if it is not fulfilled?

It is justified to use someone else's identity and there is no need to lie.

Nicholas looked up and considered it carefully.

Li Mo's expression was very serious, his eyes did not waver at all. If it was a disguise, then it could only be said that it was a talent for a fourteen-year-old to be able to disguise to this extent.

"You are too arrogant, Otto."

“But I have the ability.”

"How do you prove that?"

"Give me permission and I'll prove it immediately."

Li Mo walked to the door and looked in the direction of the Apokalis family temple, where the Void Treasures were stored.

But now it is called sarira.

With just one glance, Nicholas saw what Otto was thinking, and his stern expression relaxed slightly.

"You can try it. If you can succeed, I will fulfill your request."

"it is good."

Seeing this, Li Mo no longer hesitated and quickly walked towards the church, but was stopped outside by the guards, even though he was the youngest son of the Apokalypse family.

After all, the previous incident of guarding the warehouse was punished today...

Nicholas came behind Li Mo and waved his hand, and the guard was willing to let him in.

After entering the temple, Li Mo ignored the weapons and treasures hanging on the walls around him and walked straight to the relic in the innermost part of the temple. It was said that it contained a lot of wisdom in the world.

The Void...

Li Mo is not sure whether he can subdue Xukong Wanzang now, because the first requirement to subdue Xukong Wanzang is high IQ.

The artificial intelligence that controls a civilization will not allow a fool to obtain it. This is a hard condition.

However, Li Mo vaguely remembered what the First Divine Key longed for.

"I promise you will be free forever within ten years."

In the holy hall, Li Mo placed his hand on Xukong Wanzang, and a faint light shone around Xukong Wanzang.

Li Mo didn't want to leave his fate to probability, so he whispered this to Xukong Wanzang.

After hearing these words, Xukong Wanzang released the seal and turned into a small golden box, like a Rubik's Cube, floating above Li Mo's palm.

At this point, Li Mo finally found a foothold in this world.

On the way back, Li Mo was alone.

Nicholas promised him that from tomorrow on, he could order people of lower status than him in the family to do anything, and he could also mobilize the family's resources like his brothers and sisters.

"Alas... the intrigues are coming again. I finally managed to escape from the strange primeval forest, but now I have to face the disputes and struggles within the family."

"I have to find a way to recruit as many forces as possible, otherwise Nicholas, that old Biden, will look down on me and revoke my authority. But I also need to find people to go into the primeval forest to gather intelligence. The primeval forest is so vast, and trying to determine the location and general pattern of the strange source is a very brain-consuming and time-consuming task. Combined with the two, I don't have enough time to change Kallen's tragedy."

Li Mo thought as he walked and soon returned to his room.

It takes time to send people to the forest, time to return, and time for the person involved to wander around in the forest and gather intelligence...

It takes a long time to go back and forth, and I can't send too many out at once.

It has to be done in moderation, otherwise how can we send people if everyone dies quickly?

It can't be too few, otherwise all those sent out will die and there will be no intelligence at all.

Li Mo estimated that the survival rate of the first group that went deep into the primeval forest was less than 5 percent.

It's a little better after getting the information, but not much better.

and many more……

Why don't I just ask Francis? They must have seen some strange things while fighting the Honkai Beast in the forest.

"Let's go to the Kaslana family tomorrow morning."

Li Mo made up his mind, untied his belt and jumped onto the bed.

Now that he has no strange power to sustain his spirit, he must get enough sleep to ensure a good mental state.

The more tired and sleepy you are, the more likely you are to be disturbed by strange interferences of consciousness.

The fake person is obviously from this area.

"Moshimoshi, are you still there, Doom Ghost? If you are, give me a squeak. I haven't heard your voice in a long time and I'm a little panicked."

Li Mo lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and talking to himself.

He knew that the Doom Ghost would not respond to such questions. Only before his consciousness was about to fade away would the Doom Ghost utter a sharp curse.

Whether it is at a funeral, Taixu Mountain, or in the extremely special soul-crossing passage.

As long as there is some strange law trying to erase his consciousness, the Doom Ghost will play a protective role until the other party's law completely overwhelms the Doom Ghost's law.

"But this body... I always feel that the Doom Ghost won't follow me. I'd better be careful next time."

"I don't know if they are real pseudo-humans, but there is definitely something...not normal in the primeval forest."

"Those who are sent out must be carefully checked upon their return. It is best not to have physical contact with them. They cannot make eye contact, and are not allowed to call my name."

"No, they can call me by my name. My name is not Otto Apokalis anyway. To be on the safe side, let them call me Young Master."

Li Mo made a plan in his mind, but was afraid that he would forget it, so he got up and took out a pen and paper to write it down on the table.

However, Li Mo looked through it over and over again and found that all the writable papers in Otto's house looked familiar.

I seem to have glimpsed it in a notebook.

But that doesn't matter, yellowed paper is probably all the same.

Light the lamp? Li Mo hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to move his destination to the window.

Using the moonlight as a guide, I quickly wrote in my diary:

"My name is Li Mo, my name is Li Mo, my name is Li Mo."

This was the first sentence, to remind myself that I was Li Mo.

Without the protection of the Doom Ghost, Li Mo can only rely on his memories with Kiana to maintain his self-awareness.

That memory was like an original law, imprinted deep in his soul. No matter how his body changed, as long as this memory remained, Li Mo would never lose himself.

Being trapped in the weirdness is like falling into an endless deep sea with no end.

The unforgettable memory is like an anchor, floating on the sea, with a silk thread from the bottom wrapped around Li Mo. No matter how deep he falls, he can see his original self.

"Pseudo-humans are suspected to exist. Based on my deduction, there are several unidentified patterns as follows—"
