Lin Mo discovered another problem.
The room next door also seemed abnormal.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Mo was immediately stunned by the scene inside, the level of shock even surpassing the dismembered limbs in room 404 earlier.
In short, the room was very eerie, and he didn't really want to go in. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened - footsteps suddenly came from the stairway.
Someone was coming.
At a time like this, it was unlikely that there were other survivors in the building.
Lin Mo reacted extremely quickly, immediately slipping into room 403.
The abnormality of this room was that there were wooden dolls everywhere.
On the floor, on cabinets, on walls, and even on the ceiling. In short, wherever things could be placed or hung, there were all kinds of exquisitely crafted wooden dolls.
The small ones were only palm-sized, while the large ones, Lin Mo saw, were not much different in size from normal people. They had rich expressions, facial features and hair, even down to the details of eyelashes and pupil color.
However, the room was extremely dim, so every wooden doll looked gloomy and terrifying.
It was as if hundreds of people were secretly staring at you.
He wasn't afraid, but this place was obviously not normal. If the footsteps outside hadn't come so urgently, Lin Mo would definitely not have entered.
But since he had entered, he had entered.
Lin Mo had been through a lot before, and even if something unexpected happened, he believed he could handle it.
The footsteps outside approached quickly, soon stopping at the door of this room.
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.
The noise he made when entering the room might have alerted the other person.
Without any hesitation, Lin Mo immediately hid in the bathroom.
He didn't completely close the bathroom door, but left a crack, just enough to see outside through this gap.
Because there was nowhere else to hide in the bathroom, if the person came over, Lin Mo could also prepare to respond in advance.
There was no light, and the bathroom was pitch dark. The dim light seeping in from that crack allowed Lin Mo to roughly see the situation in the bathroom.
There was only one wooden doll here.
But this doll might be the scariest one.
About half the height of a person, wearing a dress, styled like a princess. The doll's face and body seemed to have been damaged by someone, half of the face had been cut off by a sharp object, and the clothes on the body were also in tatters, with some parts missing or damaged.
Looking closely, Lin Mo saw that this wooden doll was shrouded in a black aura, extremely sinister, quite similar to that on the pale ghost shadow.
Also, there was a knife stuck in the doll's chest.
The knife was about a foot long, exuding a strong killing intent.
Lin Mo could feel a strong sense of danger from this knife, it was completely intuitive.
Why was there a knife stuck in this wooden doll?
Who put it there?
A lot of questions popped up in Lin Mo's mind.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from outside, and Lin Mo's heart immediately skipped a beat.
The person with the footsteps had come in.
Lin Mo held his breath. What surprised him was that the pale ghost shadow was also silent at this moment, seemingly wary of the 'person' outside.
This discovery surprised Lin Mo.
This was obviously not a good sign.
If even the pale ghost shadow couldn't intimidate the person outside, then it would be difficult to deal with if they opened the bathroom door.
For a normal person, they would be panicking like crazy at this point, probably unable to even answer what one plus one equals.
But Lin Mo was terrifyingly calm at this moment. He, who simply didn't know what fear and fright were, immediately made the most correct response at this time.
He reached out and pulled the knife from the wooden doll's chest.
First, arm yourself with a weapon,
So as not to be empty-handed later. However, this knife was very cold.
It was like holding a piece of ice, but Lin Mo couldn't care about that much at this moment.
Then he peered out through the crack in the bathroom door.
Suddenly, he saw a human face.
The person outside was also peering in from outside the door crack.
As a result, the two people's eyes met directly.
The distance was very close, almost face to face.
Lin Mo could even see the dense bloodshot eyes and ferocity in this person's eyes.
For a moment, neither of them moved.
Obviously, the person outside was also a bit surprised. A look of confusion could be seen on their pale face.
Probably wondering why the person hiding in the bathroom could remain so calm at a time like this.
The two stared at each other for a moment, then the person outside seemed to sense something and took a step back expressionlessly, then a second step.
As the distance widened, Lin Mo could also see the person's appearance clearly.
They looked very ordinary, about thirty years old, tall and thin, but with muscular arms exposed.
Moreover, the person was holding a knife.
Lin Mo was stunned.
Although the style was different and it was a bit longer, the black aura and killing intent emitted from the knife in the other person's hand were exactly the same as the one in his own hand now.
"Could this knife be theirs?"
Lin Mo had a guess in his heart.
In other words, the person who stuck the knife into the wooden doll's chest was very likely this thin man outside.
Why did they do that?
As if to answer the doubts in Lin Mo's heart, at this moment, he suddenly heard a creaking sound from behind him in the darkness, very much like the sound of someone moving a puppet.
This made his body stiffen, sensing trouble.
It was that wooden doll.
The temperature in the bathroom suddenly dropped a lot, and a sense of danger arose in his heart. This feeling was extremely strong.
Lin Mo also made a quick decision. He didn't turn around, but suddenly pushed open the bathroom door and rushed out.
The thin man must have known there was something wrong with the doll in the bathroom. In fact, it was probably them who had damaged the doll into that state.
At the same time, all the many wooden dolls in the room now revealed extremely ferocious expressions, all coming to life at once, looking over with pairs of malicious eyes, letting out bursts of weird laughter.
In the living room, the thin man moved extremely fast, completely beyond normal human limits. Seeing Lin Mo rush out, they immediately went for a knife attack. Lin Mo had been prepared; he never thought of directly confronting a killer with over thirty murders on their back - that would be suicide.
So his purpose and tactics were very clear.
One word: escape.
Knowing the thin man would certainly attack, Lin Mo preemptively rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the other's fatal strike. The knife almost grazed his back as it stabbed past.
And in this instant, Lin Mo confirmed two things.
This thin man was not afraid of the pale ghost shadow, and the wooden doll in the bathroom was very terrifying. When he pulled out that knife earlier, it was as if some kind of seal had been broken, awakening all the wooden dolls in the room.
Getting up from the ground in one motion, Lin Mo didn't even look back. He grabbed a ferocious wooden doll from the ground and threw it behind him. From the sound, it seemed to have hit someone.
By this time, Lin Mo had already rushed out the door without looking back.
The entire movement was done in one go, without the slightest hesitation.
Running all the way to the stairwell, Lin Mo didn't care if there were face spiders outside. He pushed the door open and ran upstairs.
The reason was simple: that ordinary-looking thin man might be the most terrifying existence in this building. They weren't intimidated by the pale ghost shadow at all, and before Lin Mo arrived on the fourth floor, the thin man must have already had an encounter with the wooden dolls in that room.
The result was obvious - the wooden doll had been stabbed in the chest with a knife, completely suppressed.
This was Lin Mo's second time entering the nightmare world. He could sense that the wooden dolls were no less formidable than the pale ghost shadow.
And the thin man gave Lin Mo an even greater sense of pressure.
So not running would be foolish.
Lin Mo even suspected that the hanging ghost woman originally on the third floor had also been taken out by the thin man.
The exit on the first floor had already been tightly sealed by spider webs, so Lin Mo could only run upstairs.
He planned to go to the seventh floor.
That floor didn't have much danger, and Lin Mo thought of something.
The main component of most spider webs is actually protein, and protein can burn.
Many rooms on the seventh floor seemed to have been ravaged by fire.
Since they had been burned before, perhaps some fire sources could be found.
Lin Mo ran with all his might. The footsteps echoing in the stairwell naturally alerted the face spiders below.
A series of screeches and human face wails could be heard as the face spiders began to chase up.
However, this time Lin Mo had already entered the seventh floor.
This mad dash had almost exhausted Lin Mo's strength. Although Lin Mo exercised regularly, he was still out of breath at this moment.
The neighbor's corpse at the stairwell entrance had been moved away, with only a dark red bloodstain on the ground.
