Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Li Mo's eyes flashed with ferocity, but the other party didn't seem to care at all. He spread his hands and said calmly, "You sickly kid? I'm dying of laughter. It seems you haven't been bullied enough, Otto. Forget it, I'm sleepy too and want to go back to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, he walked to the window, opened it and prepared to jump out.

For a moment, Li Mo couldn't tell whether he was really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, or was unaware of his murderous intent.

Even if he didn't take out the pistol behind him, just the domineering tone should have made people feel that he was serious.

"By the way, Otto, before you go, I have something to ask of you."

"what's up."

The boy's expression returned to normal, no longer as strange as before.

He pointed at the oil lamp behind Li Mo and said with a smile, "Can you turn on the light? I want to see if you are sweating profusely from fear now, haha."

"roll!"

Li Mo didn't do as he was told, but just said "Get lost" fiercely.

"Can you please turn on the light?"

The boy asked again.

Li Mo felt something was wrong, clenched his fists tightly around the Heavenly Fire Judge, and replied again, "Get lost!"

"You really won't do what I say?"

The boy's tone became increasingly calm, as if he was issuing an ultimatum.

In the dim light, Li Mo couldn't see his face clearly, but could vaguely feel that his facial features were very inconsistent.

Fortunately, the moonlight was a little brighter at this time, and Li Mo could barely see clearly. The other person's eyes were staring at him angrily, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his knees were against the sharp part of the window.

The other leg that has not yet stepped out remains perpendicular to the body at a 90-degree angle.

Gradually, he seemed not to want to leave.

He slowly lowered his legs from the window and prepared to turn around and walk towards Li Mo.

"Hehe..." The boy laughed strangely.

"Otto, you recognized me, didn't you?"

"boom!!"

The flames instantly engulfed the boy and began to spread across the room.

Li Mo picked up the diary and Xukong Wanzang and ran out of the room. The blazing flames instantly spread to the entire house.

"Haah...haah..."

Li Mo ran out to the garden in his pajamas, still feeling frightened.

It doesn’t matter if the house is burned down, Li Mo can just make up an excuse to get away with it.

But that boy... was a real fake. Fortunately, I was alert enough and did not agree to his request.

If it were someone else, they might just agree to it in order to get the other person to leave quickly.

After a while, people from the Apokalyps family came to put out the fire, and even Nicholas was awakened and came to the scene.

Chapter 4: Horror in the Old House (8k)

Li Mo ignored all that and went to find the mother of the boy in his memory.

"Where is your son now?" Li Mo asked.

"Didn't I just play with you a few days ago?" the lady replied.

Less than two seconds later, when the blazing house collapsed, crushing the dark shadow of the boy inside, the lady froze for a moment, shook her head, and said with a lost expression: "He went out on an adventure last year and died outside a long time ago."

Before that person disappeared, Li Mo met his eyes.

The boy didn't care at all that the fire was spreading all over his body. Even though his flesh and blood were starting to melt, the smile on his face was still eerie and creepy.

The corners of his mouth moved, as if he was saying something, but unfortunately the distance was too far and Li Mo couldn't hear him.

The lady was very curious why Li Mo asked this question.

At this time, Nicholas walked to Li Mo, narrowed his eyes, and asked tentatively: "What happened?"

Li Mo closed his eyes and shook his head. "I don't know. I was still sleeping. I woke up when I smelled something wrong. I ran out when I saw the fire."

He had to deny the existence of fake people, no one could be trusted.

but……

Li Mo frowned. He was very concerned about why a fake person suddenly appeared and entered his room.

Judging from his body shape, the fake boy is not the dark shadow on the wall.

If that’s not the case, then when did the fake person target me?

And what if it happened to be a fake human who was so vulnerable? If Nicholas was a fake human, what should I do?

"Oh, it seems... someone is not very satisfied with your performance today. I will arrange a new address for you and a new servant. She will help you deal with these matters."

"As a child of the Apokalyps family, you should know that you are not completely safe until you reach adulthood. Unless you can find evidence, I will not help you judge the arsonist based on mere conjecture and speculation."

Nicholas spoke to Li Mo earnestly.

Li Mo nodded. Nicholas thought about the family dispute and struggle, but that was fine. He didn't need to think of reasons to explain.

We have to go to the Kaslana family's territory early tomorrow morning.

The existence of the fake person has been confirmed tonight, so I have to get enough rest. After all... intuition and reaction will not be apparent when I am sleepy.

"Come with me." Nicholas called Li Mo.

Li Mo followed him to the back mountain of the Apokalypse family.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that there was only a luxurious big house in the back mountain, but it was rarely visited by people.

I seem to have some bad rumors in my memory. This was the place where the head of the Apokalypse family lived in the past. However, due to some unknown reasons, several generations of the family died, so they moved here.

Of course, rumors are not credible, and family fights can lead to deaths.

In addition, as the times are progressing, it is more likely that they wanted to adapt to the changes, move from the back mountains to the central city of Vienna, and come into contact with the general public.

"This is where the head of our family lived a long time ago. As for why it has become so desolate, you should know the reason."

Nicholas walked ahead and pushed open the door of the house.

In an instant, a raw, pungent smell mixed with rust hit my nose and rushed out of the house like crazy.

Li Mo's expression was a little ugly, because after the main door was opened, he saw a mirror.

The first thing you see when you open the door is a mirror, which is not a good thing.

Mirrors are objects of yin and yang. It would be fine if they were always exposed to sunlight, but they have been left in this dark environment for decades.

Even if there is no problem, it will become problematic and become an extremely yin thing, and perhaps there is something dirty hiding inside.

The only thing that made Li Mo feel relieved was that the mirror on the first floor was covered with dust and could not reflect him successfully.

"What? Don't you like it?" Nicholas asked, turning around.

"I don't like it. If I have the chance, I will move out." Li Mo answered frankly, "Of course, I know that will be when I can show my value."

"You're right. Remember, when you have power and money, even the stars in the sky will be picked for you, let alone a house."

"I picked the stars from the sky a long time ago..." Li Mo turned his head and said in a low voice.

Nicholas didn't understand the true meaning of what Li Mo said next.

The two walked into the old house and went up the stairs to the second floor.

The old house only has the second floor, and there is a rest room on the second floor.

Because there were so many rooms, Nicholas opened them impatiently again and again, allowing Li Mo to enter and choose the room he liked best.

In the first room, the mirror faces the bed.

In the second room, the mirror faces the wardrobe.

In the third room, the mirror faces the window.

In the fourth room, the mirror faces the door.

Li Mo: “…”

Li Mo has nothing to complain about this house.

The back mountain is already so gloomy because of the woods and there are mirrors in every room. Are you afraid that ghosts can't find a place to live?

I had originally planned to choose a room without a mirror, but now it seems that I might as well sleep in the woods.

"I have a question."

After looking at four rooms, Li Mo suddenly said.

"Ask me. I owed you a lot in the past. I won't hide anything from you unless it involves confidential matters. You have a fair chance to compete with Ferdinand and the others. You can know everything they know."

Nicholas' expression was serious, not revealing a single emotion.

Rather than being Otto's father, Nicholas was more like a strict elder.

"It's about the owner of the family who died here before."

Nicholas's mouth corners raised slightly.

"Haha, that's true... you're still young and still have doubts about ghosts."

"Well, these are all stories about dead people, completely untrue, so it's okay to tell you. But do you really want to hear this? You don't want to get other information about the family from me?"

Nonsense, I won’t ask how they died in the past. I will die tonight.

There must be a reason for placing the mirror like this. Although the mirror in the old house has become an extremely yin object, in a sense, it is also the key for living people to avoid ghost attacks.

Forget it, if Nicholas's answer doesn't satisfy me, I'll just go sleep in a tree for a night.

"Yes, I want to listen." Li Mo showed a very affirmative attitude.

"Okay." Nicholas was a little disappointed, but still chose to tell Li Mo what happened in the past.

"This happened a long time ago, so long ago that even I only heard about it from my great-grandfather."

"Before the city of Vienna was fully established, successive heads of the Apocalis family lived in a house in the back mountains to protect themselves from betrayal by those around them. Only their personal guards knew the exact location."

Li Mo thought about it and realized that it was true.

If Nicholas hadn't led him, he might not have been able to find this ancient house in such a large forest behind the mountain.

Nicholas continued, "But from some unknown day on, strange rumors began to spread. Every head of the family would die inexplicably at night. Even if the head of the family had guards guarding the door or standing by the bed, they couldn't stop this trend. Even the guards protecting the head of the family would die suddenly that night, and no one survived."

"The head of the family also tried to escape into the woods, but the next day, when he still hadn't returned, the family went into the back mountains to search for him. In the end, they found him dead in a tree in a strange posture, his eyes wide open with a strange smile on his face."

Li Mo: “…”

Then why did you let me in? You were afraid I wouldn't die fast enough.

Li Mo was complaining madly in his heart. If he didn't need Nicholas's help, he would have slapped old Bidden in the face.

"They are all stories about ghosts and monsters, don't take them seriously. What, are you scared?" Nicholas looked at Li Mo jokingly.

Nicholas thought that he was just a child and it was normal for him to be afraid of ghosts, and it had nothing to do with his character.

But Li Mo deliberately showed it in front of him.

What Nicholas saw was what Li Mo wanted him to see.

A tender child might be able to see things that adults cannot, such as a female corpse hanging at the door, or a bloodshot eye peering out the window...

"Yes, a little... Can you tell me how he died? I'm very curious." Li Mo's eyes were wide open, his expression was tense, and he pinched his clothes with both hands, showing the fear that a normal child would have.

Nicholas thought for a while, then said calmly:

"The deceased family head always died with his eyes open, and the last direction he looked before dying was - the mirror."

"As for the manner of death, it's all very strange. Some were strangled but there were no marks on the neck; others died of suffocation with their stomachs full of water, but there was no water stain on their bodies. I guess it must be some kind of sophisticated assassination method."

"But these are probably just coincidences. Don't take them too seriously. Ghosts don't exist in this world."

"The mirrors were originally something the master of the family saw in an ancient book... something called Feng Shui. Although the frequency of the master's death has decreased since the installation of these mirrors, that was already close to the present. Rather than living in the mountains, it would be better to return to the family's native territory."

"If you're afraid of these mirrors, just throw them away."
