Sometimes, one's mindset determines the success or failure of a matter.
With a good mindset, one performs well.
However, if one's mindset is poor, and at crucial moments the brain is occupied by fear and nervousness, unable to speak clearly, legs weak and shaky, even achievable tasks may fail.
Although Lin Mo was now being hugged like an octopus by the planchette spirit Chu Yu, with his wrist being squeezed painfully, he still recounted everything he had done to the other party in detail.
Lin Mo could clearly feel that after he called out the name "Xiao Yu", the planchette spirit's body noticeably trembled.
The force that was about to break his bones began to weaken.
It was clearly having an effect.
Lin Mo, of course, persevered and continued to narrate with great emotion.
The situation of Chu Yu's parents, including the elderly couple's longing for their daughter, was described extremely movingly by Lin Mo's silver tongue.
When he mentioned that the elderly couple still kept their daughter's bedroom, and the content of the sticky note chat on the wall that the father and daughter had agreed upon, Lin Mo clearly felt the pressure on his body weakening.
"That was close," Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief at this point.
Just now, it was clear that this Chu Yu was going to kill him. This made sense - an evil spirit, hating all living people, especially since he had gotten the better of her before. She didn't dare to touch him earlier because of the pale ghost shadow, but now that the pale ghost shadow was gone, he would have taken the opportunity to strike back if he were in her position.
It must be said that this time Lin Mo was gambling.
Fortunately, his luck was good.
As he spoke, Lin Mo imperceptibly changed his form of address.
He referred to Chu Yu's father and mother as uncle and auntie, very affectionately.
"Xiao Yu, do you know? When I saw those sticky notes on the wall, I was also moved. In those simple and unpretentious words, there was a father's heavy love for his daughter."
Lin Mo tried hard to build up the emotion.
At this point, the force with which the planchette spirit was grabbing Lin Mo's hand had weakened considerably, almost letting go.
"When I left, your uncle saw through my earlier lie. I said I was your friend, he didn't believe it. Later I asked him, if you could say one thing to Xiao Yu, what would you say?"
Pausing for a moment, Lin Mo observed the planchette spirit's reaction.
She seemed a bit anxious, suddenly grabbing Lin Mo's hand and writing on the paper: What did he say?
Lin Mo was secretly delighted.
"Your uncle later called me and told me to tell you not to worry about him and your mother, they're doing very well. Also, the green knight you left behind is already over a foot tall now, it even bloomed earlier, very beautiful; Cotton Candy has grown up too, but because it misses you so much and won't eat anything if it stays at home, they had to foster it at your uncle's place; oh right, your uncle said he knows how to play games now..."
"And, your uncle said he's sorry, said it's his fault for not protecting you well..."
Plop!
As Lin Mo said this, he felt his cheeks becoming a bit wet. He was startled and reached up to touch - it was tears.
Looking up, Lin Mo was stunned.
The originally terrifying evil spirit, at this moment, the blood stains on her face receded, along with the terrifying resentment and malice. Her originally pale pupils had also returned to normal, and that tear just now had flowed from her eyes.
Lin Mo witnessed this miraculous scene up close.
It was as if spring had suddenly descended upon winter.
But this beauty only appeared for an instant. The next moment, the blood stains and resentment swept back.
Lin Mo felt his body lighten.
At this moment, Xiao Yu seemed to teleport, standing opposite Lin Mo.
She lowered her head, her face no longer visible.
Although the malice and resentment were still on her body, Lin Mo could sense that she seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, different from before.
The most obvious thing was,
Towards him, there was no longer the previous hostility. This was a good thing.
It showed that Lin Mo's relationship with her had progressed a step further.
In Lin Mo's view, this was absolutely a milestone beginning.
He decided to push a bit harder.
"Your uncle doesn't believe I can convey his words to you, so, Xiao Yu, do you have anything you want to say to your uncle and auntie? I'll help you pass the message back."
This was Lin Mo's strategy.
No matter how fierce Xiao Yu was, as long as she still had this thread of attachment in her heart, she wouldn't kill him, the messenger, right?
The next moment, Xiao Yu opposite reached out to grab Lin Mo's hand and wrote three lines on the paper.
"This is not your fault."
"Take care of yourselves."
"There's a gift in the dark corner of the room."
Lin Mo looked at these three sentences and nodded, "I've memorized them. Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver the message word for word."
Done.
Taking a step back, at least this time Lin Mo could retreat unscathed.
Moreover, Lin Mo was about to go find the split-head ghost. If he encountered danger, Xiao Yu would surely help.
However, Lin Mo felt he should mention this in advance.
"I'm going over there in a bit, I might encounter a ghost who likes to play hide-and-seek. Xiao Yu, can you come with me?"
The pen tip moved across the paper.
Two characters appeared in the diary.
"Don't go!"
Lin Mo frowned, a bit surprised by these two characters. It wasn't "won't go", but "don't go". Although it's just a difference of one word, the meaning is completely different.
The former would mean Chu Yu didn't want to help.
While the latter, from a certain perspective, was a kind of warning.
Did she know there was danger?
That makes sense, Chu Yu is a planchette spirit, this kind of evil spirit has very mysterious detection and foresight abilities. Although Lin Mo didn't know how she did it, there was no doubt that what she said was extremely accurate.
Just like before, when she wrote 404.
Afterwards, Chen Bing had said that the strangely dismembered corpse placed in that room was the source of pollution for this nightmare time.
And what Lin Mo had asked was, who brought him in.
Looking at it this way, it matched up, wasn't it exactly that source of pollution?
Just based on this point, Chu Yu's detection ability was worth trusting.
Now she was telling him not to go, logically, he should listen to her.
But if he did that, once Mao Mao couldn't hold on and fell asleep entering the nightmare world, she would very likely be found by the split-head ghost.
At that time, Mao Mao would surely die.
Perhaps it was because Chu Yu knew the taboo that being found by the split-head ghost meant death, so she told him not to go.
In that case, it's simple.
Just don't let it find you, right?
Just like with the pale ghost shadow, as long as you don't trigger the other party's taboo, nothing will happen.
Moreover, according to what Mao Mao said, the first time the split-head ghost finds you, you won't die. It's only when the real hide-and-seek begins that the taboo is triggered.
Lin Mo pondered for a moment.
As long as he knew these key points, even if it was a dragon's pool and tiger's den, he dared to venture in.
Besides, with Chu Yu following, there was nothing to fear.
If worse came to worst, Lin Mo could just set a fire and burn down the house where Mao Mao was.
End it once and for all.
No matter how powerful the split-head ghost was, it would still perish in the flames.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo said to Chu Yu opposite, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. I can't not go, I promised a friend I would help, I can't break my word."
Chu Yu didn't react.
Lin Mo picked up the lighter, took the pencil and the blood-stained diary, and walked forward.
After a few steps, he looked back.
Chu Yu had disappeared.
However, Lin Mo could sense her presence.
Clearly, she had come along.
After all, the pencil she was possessing was still in Lin Mo's hand.
