Chapter 216 The Story of Lao Mo and Mu Daxian
Chapter 216 The Story of Lao Mo and Mu Daxian
"What...did you...reveal...this time?" Lao Mo walked to Mu Daxian's side little by little, like a stop-motion animation, and raised his left and right hands to look at them.
After asking, he didn't care whether Mu Daxian answered him or not. He just pulled out a kitchen knife from somewhere and started scraping Mu Daxian's arm like scraping sha.
Even though his movements were a bit "stuck", he was very decisive when scraping and his expression was focused, completely different from the numb one.
Mu Daxian told him bit by bit what had happened to him that night, like a general returning from the battle, handing over his seriously injured body to a doctor with a knife without any protection.
When Mao Feiyang saw this scene, he finally let down his guard against Lao Mo.
When he heard that Mu Daxian was being chased by the Laughing Angel, Lao Mo frowned and said, "You should have lured them over here."
"No chance..." Mu Daxian shook his head helplessly, "Besides, even if I lure them over here, what then?"
"Then... I will... take action..." As Lao Mo spoke, a gleam of light flashed between his eyes, like a thunderbolt tearing through the night sky, giving Lin Yi a sense of déjà vu of Xiao Li's flying dagger taking action.
"Come on, you can't even speak clearly, and you're still carrying a knife? Just focus on logistics... Leave the front-line matters to people like us who are not afraid of death." Mu Daxian sneered unceremoniously.
Lao Mo's grip on the knife tightened, and Mu Daxian was so scared that he sat up straight: "Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you next time, next time."
He wiped his sweat, thinking that he was taken advantage of by the Russian. His arm was still in Lao Mo's hand. He almost couldn't escape because of his hasty words...
Lao Mo said calmly: "You want to test...test...the edge of my precious...sword...to see if it is sharp?"
“Okay, okay, it’s not going to happen, it’s not going to happen, let’s heal our wounds first…” Mu Daxian curled his lips.
Not long after, Mu Daxian's arm gradually recovered under Lao Mo's scraping knife technique. Lin Yi had no idea how the whole process worked. He could only feel that some extraordinary power seemed to flow into Mu Daxian's arm, and then something else was peeled out of Mu Daxian's arm...
"Okay..." Lao Mo let go of Mu Daxian's arm.
Mu Daxian pressed his shoulder joints and shook his arms, smiling, "Hehe, full health resurrection! No need to worry about the sneak attack of the pseudo-human artist! Hehe..."
Mao Feiyang: “???”
"Wait... were you worried about a sneak attack? That's why you didn't say anything along the way?" Mao Feiyang seemed to have thought of something.
Mu Daxian only smiled at this moment and said, "Of course not. If they had attacked me just now, I would have been the first to die."
"..."
"No...Brother Xian, you couldn't handle them just now?"
Mu Daxian shrugged: "Yes, I lied to them, so we had to run away just now."
"Hiss..." Mu Daxian's empty city plan made Mao Feiyang gasp for air, and then he was a little speechless, "They are so easy to fool."
Mu Daxian took a look at the despicable Maozi and thought to himself, boy, what the hell are you from? You think you are speechless even though you are alive, right?
"Easy to cheat?" He sneered, "They are very smart. That's why they don't dare to bet that there are really no bullets in my gun."
Mao Feiyang was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly realized the thrill and bold game behind Mu Daxian's move, and admiration gradually appeared on his face.
Mu Daxian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Mao, remember, if you want to get involved in a gang, you have to give yourself the confidence. As long as you act conscientiously enough, you can fool anyone."
"Uh, angels can do it too?" Mao Feiyang asked back.
Mu Daxian: “…”
"Go away, it's your turn to heal."
As he said that, he pushed Mao Feiyang in front of Lao Mo.
Lao Mo grabbed Mao Feiyang's arm and was about to use the knife when he suddenly froze.
"What's the matter?" Mu Daxian asked.
Lao Mo groaned and said, "A very... familiar... breath..."
Mu Daxian was silent for a moment, then said, "Xiao Mao touched the mark left by Him on the street lamp. Perhaps it was this kind of aura?"
Lao Mo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I can't...get rid of His...mark..."
Mu Daxian said, "You don't have to deal with it. Just treat his hand. We can deal with the rest after we return to the Art Building."
"..." Lao Mo nodded, "Okay."
Lin Yi quietly watched Lao Mo scraping Mao Feiyang, and had a guess in his mind, not sure if it was accurate or not, that is, the "familiar smell" that Lao Mo mentioned might be because he and Tian Bufan had passed by him during the day...
Because Mao Feiyang had transmitted the pollution, there should be some similar aura on the bodies of several of them.
"Wait!" Lin Yi's eyes lit up, "So the layer where this 'Lao Mo' is located is the same layer where the other channels are located!"
“That’s not right!”
He turned his head and looked at the road that Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang had just walked along.
He had a faint, indescribable strange feeling just now, and now he finally remembered - the step that caused Maozi to trip did not exist!
While he was eating, he walked up from the student passage and then went to the side to wait for Tian Bufan and the others. At that time, the place where he was waiting was a little forward from where Mao Feiyang tripped, and there... in his impression, was a wall!
But when Mao Feiyang followed Mu Daxian up from another passage, the place where the wall originally was turned into a step!
Walk up that staircase and come to the student passage from other passages!
Lin Yi immediately thought of another incident - there were two times when he was chased by the chef in the green bib after he put away the dishes.
The first time was when Xu Shunkang showed up out of nowhere and hit a home run with his bat, knocking the green bib chef back;
The second time was when another gym student showed up and smashed the green-bibbed chef’s hand with a baseball bat as he grabbed it out of the plastic curtain…
But he had always overlooked another detail, that is, neither Xu Shunkang nor the sports student came from the student passage!
Because after Xu Shunkang finished his work, he obviously walked away in another direction and went to the entrance on the other side of the passage.
And those few times, he was in a hurry to leave and didn't pay any attention to the movement of the athlete leaving.
"So, these layers should be interoperable to some extent?"
"Like diving and sinking?"
"So... those green-bibbed chefs that came out of the No. 10 purchase window are actually similar to the same layer as Old Mo to a certain extent. They can only harm us when certain special conditions are met?"
"For example... the key item 'containing tomato-like elements'?"
“That doesn’t seem right…”
"Perhaps my guess is wrong, and it should actually be something else that I don't understand?"
Lin Yi thought thoughtfully, if other areas in the campus also have the same characteristics as the cafeteria, and there are multiple layers of interconnection, then wouldn’t there be many...unknown routes?
For example... "For example, the road leading to the gym will branch out into a different road?"
While Lin Yi was thinking about the problem, Lao Mo had already cured Mao Feiyang's injuries. Then Mu Daxian said goodbye to Lao Mo and took Mao Feiyang back to the area on the other side of the passage.
"Mu...Daxian..." Lao Mo spoke slowly and called out to Mu Daxian's back.
"how?"
"Be careful...be safe..." Lao Mo said very seriously.
Mu Daxian was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes: "What did you find?"
"No..." Lao Mo shook his head slightly.
Mu Daxian didn't say anything, but his eyes narrowed into slits, and then he nodded solemnly: "I understand, live well, see you next time."
"You too..." Lao Mo said, "I don't have many friends...you...are one of them..."
……
When Mu Daxian brought Mao Feiyang back to the area between the other passages and the student cafeteria, the broken morning light was scattered, painting the gaps between the brick and tile walls with a golden glow, but the lights inside the cafeteria were still not on.
"It's dawn." said Mu Daxian.
"Yeah, it's finally daybreak!" Mao Feiyang also breathed a sigh of relief, but then he noticed that Mu Daxian was frowning, "What's wrong, Brother Xian? It's not good to have daybreak?"
"It's good that it's dawn, but we don't need it to dawn so soon." Mu Daxian said in a deep voice.
"what?"
"The entrance to the store is at the boundary between light and darkness. If it were bright daylight, it would be very difficult to find it."
"The dividing line between light and darkness?"
“In layman’s terms, it is the area of the cafeteria that is not illuminated by lights but is illuminated by sunlight.”
Mao Feiyang responded quickly: "Is that the wall next to the window?"
"'Window', an interesting concept." Mu Daxian raised his eyebrows with a smile, which made Mao Feiyang a little confused.
But he suddenly thought of the window he saw in the stairwell of the teaching building...
An interesting concept
There were no windows in the stairwell, but he saw...
Could it be the cafeteria... ?
Hiss...Mao Feiyang took a breath of cold air.
"Are you a snake or a vacuum pump? Since you have survived the hands of the laughing angel, don't make a fuss." Mu Daxian said disdainfully.
Mao Feiyang pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "Brother Xian...what happened to that old Mo just now?"
Mao Feiyang was actually very curious about Lao Mo's story. Lao Mo looked like a fake person, and he even felt a creepy feeling when he saw Lao Mo at first.
If the eyes can deceive, the intuition cannot.
There was an aura about Lao Mo that made him feel scared, especially when he held a kitchen knife in his hand.
That kitchen knife... was very strange. It looked like an ordinary meat-cleaving knife, and you couldn't even see the blade. But it was as if it had magic power and it actually scraped away the extraordinary power in his hand bit by bit.
When he looked at his arm now, the wound seemed to have been zipped up, leaving only a faint mark.
"Old Mo..."
Mu Daxian looked in the direction of the student passage, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
"Lao Mo is one of the few people I admire on this campus."
"Hiss--Ah!" Mao Feiyang wanted to take a breath, but when he thought of Mu Daxian's reaction just now, he immediately covered his mouth like lightning.
"But I feel like you don't seem to admire him very much..." he said lamely.
Mu Daxian squinted at him and said, "Admiration is not something you can just say with your lips."
It was not yet 5:40 and the cafeteria was not open yet. Mu Daxian was perhaps moved by the scene and was talking to Mao Feiyang or to himself: "Lao Mo and I knew each other quite early..."
"At that time, he was still an ordinary chef, and I was still an unknown little Karami trainee."
"At that time, he had nothing but a kitchen knife, and I only had good looks to fight..."
Mao Feiyang: “…”
Mu Daxian continued, "The first time I saw Lao Mo was on a foggy day... If I remember correctly, it should be a day during the 63rd gray fog invasion..."
"That was when I first entered the school. It was September 21, 9. I can't remember the exact time at night..."
"I remember that after dinner that day, I left the cafeteria and returned to the teaching building. I started to lose my way halfway because of the fog."
"The lights weren't on yet, and I ran back quickly based on my memory because I felt like I was only a few steps away from the cafeteria. But it started raining halfway through..."
"Because it was not even 18: and the fog was so thick, I didn't dare approach even if I saw the street lights."
"The only way at the time was to follow the student code and return to the nearest building for shelter, and the cafeteria was the closest building to me."
"But it's only a few steps away, but I just can't find the cafeteria..."
"And the pseudo-humans in the green forest began to appear one after another and surrounded me. At that time, I didn't know the concept of pseudo-humans. I only knew that they were some things that looked like humans but were not human..."
"I didn't dare to act rashly, so I just squatted there and stared at the cobblestone road..."
"At that time, all I could see were pebbles. I could even see a fucking world in the pebbles, but I soon became confused. I could feel those fake people surrounding me, like countless tombstones sticking up beside me."
"They were chanting something similar to the Night Watchman's Iron Law, like some weird gods or Buddhas chanting cult-like scriptures, as if they wanted to liberate me from the dead right here..."
"When I was about to lose my mind, the tombstones were chopped into pieces like melons and vegetables. When I came to my senses, Lao Mo had already appeared beside me, like a fucking god descending from heaven..."
"I remember it very clearly. At that time, Lao Mo was wearing a black oil leather bib, holding the kitchen knife he has now, and his white chef's uniform was covered with ketchup..."
"His expression was very cold, completely different from the numb look you see now... If I were a woman, I would have given myself to him at that time."
Thanks to book friends "usjdnshhs" and "SUPK" for their rewards!!
It’s the end of the month, Xiaoqiu has one monthly ticket, and I’m going to try to get 2000 monthly tickets. The difference is not much, so I feel it’s okay.
