The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 202 The First Driver

The old lady didn't reveal much about the principle of the basket, and Wang Xiaoming also chose not to ask any more questions.

"Okay, if you have no other questions, you can leave with the basket. From now on, on the first day of every month, when you send someone to the door, you will see the same bamboo basket." The old woman looked at the bamboo basket with a smile. Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming stood up, and brought up the seemingly ordinary vegetable basket, but it was actually full of countless surrogate dolls.

"Although it's worthless to say too much thank you, I still want to thank you for lending a helping hand to us at this time."

He had already gotten the answer during his trip to 301. Although the answer did not allow him to completely solve the supernatural incident right away, it made him understand that the path he chose was correct.

Now, after he got the answer and obtained important supplies, it was time for him to say goodbye.

No matter how the supernatural events of this era will end, but at present, supernatural events have not been resolved.

Wang Xiaoming knows that there are still many things waiting for him to do now, and only when the day comes when he can no longer hold the pen, can he lie down and rest with peace of mind.

"You stay here."

Suddenly, the old woman spoke again.

Her dim eyes looked at Li Leping.

"Ok?"

Li Leping immediately reversed his movements in the middle of getting up, and sat back on the chair again.

As if Wang Xiaoming didn't hear it, he picked up the basket and walked towards the gate of 301.

He knew that this old woman had something to say to Li Leping.

As for what was said and what secrets were involved, Wang Xiaoming didn't care.

There are always secrets hidden between people, and he has no time or thought to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

He only needs to confirm that Li Leping is on the side of the headquarters. On this basis, Li Leping can do whatever he wants.

When Wang Xiaoming walked to the door and was already holding the handle, he suddenly turned his head and said to Li Leping: "From now on, on the first day of every month, you will be responsible for picking up the vegetable basket here. Let me know again."

This is the best arrangement.

The existence of the surrogate doll and the old man must not be revealed, so one of the three people present can only be responsible for receiving supplies.

And this is Mingyue Community, located in Dachuan City, so of course, Li Leping can only be in charge.

Moreover, Li Leping himself is the person in charge who does not want the ghost master organization, including the headquarters, to intervene in Dachuan City.

Hearing this, Li Leping nodded.

His idea is exactly the same as Wang Xiaoming.

Anyway, it's just getting a grocery basket on time, and it's not a hard job.

Seeing that Li Leping agreed, Wang Xiaoming opened the door and left.

Li Jun, who had never had a chance to speak, turned his head and glanced at Li Leping at this moment. He didn't say anything, but gave him a self-seeking look, and then followed Wang Xiaoming and left room 301.

There was no words of farewell, nor a goodbye, and the door of 301 was closed again.

Now, in Room 301, which was still a little bit crowded, only Li Leping and the old woman in front of me don't know whether they are regarded as people or ghosts.

The old woman's face still has the same approachable appearance, but because of her age, the skin folds on her face caused by muscle relaxation always reveal an indescribable strangeness, exuding a dull and dead air .

Even Li Leping thought he was calm, but he didn't dare to look at him for too long.

Seemingly aware of Li Leping's nervousness, the old lady waved her hand lightly, signaling him to relax: "Don't you want some water?"

Drink water?

Li Leping glanced at the cup on the table, the hot water inside was already steaming.

Although it wasn't stated explicitly, it's better not to touch some things in this kind of place where supernatural beings are involved.

Not only Li Leping, but also Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun who just left think so.

However, they didn't say anything.

But now, Li Leping obviously cannot escape.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip, the taste is no different from normal purified water.

"You young people tend to be too cautious sometimes."

Seeing that he was so hesitant to drink water, the old woman smiled.

However, her gaze stayed on Li Leping's face for a while, not knowing what she was looking for.

"It's never a bad thing to be cautious." Li Leping typed vaguely.

Not wanting to discuss too much on this topic, he said: "You let me stay, do you have anything to explain?"

The old man who lived to the present during the Republic of China specially asked him to stay, and he would definitely not let him drink such a sip of water.

"After Qingshi Village, I didn't expect us to meet so soon, and in such a short period of time, you have made such great progress."

At this moment, the old woman spoke, her tone full of relief.

"Heh." Li Leping smiled wryly.

"You also came from that era, so it is natural to know that the so-called rapid progress is inevitable, and those who progress slowly, either died in a supernatural event, or were killed by the revival of the ghost in the body."

"Yes." The old woman sighed with emotion.

"However, even though that is the case, it is quite remarkable to be able to make such great progress in such a short period of time."

"Even the ghost wandering outside, you have controlled it."

The old woman suddenly changed the subject and brought the topic back to the old city.

Li Leping knew that the ghost she mentioned was the ghost that wandered around in the haunted area.

"When I was in building 301, I encountered this ghost, and another ghost that seemed to be sleepwalking, and was attacked by a thick smoke, and almost died inside."

As soon as she mentioned this matter, Li Leping's eyes flickered, and he took the initiative to talk about it.

He naturally respects the older generation of ghost masters who were supernatural during the pacification of the Republic of China and who have survived to this day.

However, the matter in the Menggui District involves many aspects. In order to find out the truth, Li Leping stopped being too polite, but took the initiative to ask: "The layout of No. 301 in Building Seven is very similar to this place. It should be yours." Handwriting, right?"

This may be his only chance to ask questions.

After today, whether the door of 301 will be open to him again is another matter.

And what he wants to know most now is the reason for the outbreak of supernatural events in Mingyue Community.

"Yes, that ghost likes to wander around at night, so I caught it and threw it into that room. I turned on the light so that it wouldn't fall asleep so easily."

In a word, the old lady explained clearly the reason for the birth of 301, Building [-], Mingyue Community.

Just to restrain that sleepwalking ghost, that's all.

"Then why put it alone in Building 301, [-], or is there something else in that room?" Li Leping asked again.

The old woman shook her head: "There is nothing else in that room, only the ghost. In fact, I can lock it anywhere. The light is the key."

"Lighting can curb the killing patterns of ghosts as much as possible, and with the arrangement I made, what appears in that room is the scene of 301 in the past, which itself has supernatural powers. Even if the ghost wakes up from time to time, it can't escape. The door of that house."

"Actually, your thinking is not wrong, it's just the opposite. You have also noticed that compared to the 301 in the ninth building where you are now, the 301 in the seventh building lacks a lot of furniture, flooring and other things."

"It is impossible for these furniture and the decoration of the rooms to appear in Building 301 of the Seventh Building. You can guess the specific reason."

Speaking of this, the old lady raised her head slightly, smiled silently at Li Leping, and threw the question back to Li Leping.

"Because the things in this room are all supernatural things, and some are even..."

Li Leping paused, and then slowly said that word.

"ghost……"

"That's why you can't take ghosts to 301 in Building [-] and imprison them, because this may cause the original balance of the room to go out of control."

"So, you opened up a new spiritual place, but that place is not so 'complete' compared to 301 in Building [-]."

He seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, but it was only at this time that he expressed the guess in his heart.

At this moment, Li Leping's voice was a little lower, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He didn't believe that an old man who had been dealing with ghosts all his life could keep his place so "clean".

The red lacquered furniture in this room, the walls that have peeled off the paint, and the old patterned tiles on the floor are all filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

God knows what these things originally looked like?
Perhaps, one day, a silhouette of a human will suddenly appear in that wooden red-lacquered sofa?

Or, one day, there will be many cement-stained hands stretched out from the wall that has peeled off the paint, as if something is trying to break free?
I'm afraid that the things that Li Leping's eyes can see now are all temporarily asleep, or suppressed supernatural beings, or even the ghost itself.

The old woman in front of her, who seemed to fall down at the touch of a finger, lay down on the ground, at least said she could blackmail her a hundred thousand, has lived in this place surrounded by ghosts for an unknown number of years.

But what made Li Leping even more curious was what the old woman meant by "301 in the past".

Could it be that this old woman can bring the past into reality?

"You are very smart."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, but what frightened Li Leping the most was that she had no intention of refuting herself at all.

That means that his guess is not bad.

This seemingly stable room 301 is completely a room built by countless ghosts.

However, the old woman who has lived here for many years obviously doesn't care about these so-called ghosts.

A ghost master at her level is already an extremely terrifying ghost, so why should she be afraid of the ghost in this room?
"In the words of us old guys, you were born to eat this bowl of rice." The old woman praised Li Leping's extraordinary talent.

"I don't know, if there are no accidents, what kind of achievements you will achieve in the future."

Li Leping was silent about the old lady's praise, and there was no joy on his face.

"So, what's going on in the ghost area... that is, the three ghosts that first appeared in the old city?"

Instead of worrying about whether the tiles under his feet could be a ghost, what Li Leping still wants to know is why the first three ghosts in the ghost area appeared.

"An old guy buried these three ghosts here before, but he didn't expect them to be dug out by later generations with a machine, that's all." The old woman explained plainly.

"old man?"

"A person who has died, like Pang Shaochuan you met when you were in Qingshi Village, doesn't need to understand too much. This era belongs to you. No matter what the future will be, what you should do now is to show your respect to the future. Look forward, instead of looking back to understand us old things." The old woman laughed at herself but also had a hint of warning.

Li Leping agreed: "I understand, it's just that Zhang Xiaoxiao died in Mingyue Community, in that 301, so no matter what, I want to know the reason for the outbreak here."

"Is that the young man who partnered with you in Qingshi Village?" The old lady said with some regret, "I was not in Mingyue Community at that time, and I took a ride to another place, otherwise, I could have prevented all of this."

Li Leping doesn't want to assume any "if", because it doesn't make any sense.

Just in time, he discovered the mystery in the old woman's words, so he grabbed the words and said, "How do you know that Zhang Xiaoxiao is the young man who joined me in Qingshi Village?"

You know, Zhang Xiaoxiao was not called Zhang Xiaoxiao at that time, but took a pseudonym and called herself Lu Sheng.

"Every ghost master has his or her own specialty. You are good at forgetting, making it difficult for people to remember. What I am good at is seeing the past clearly." The old woman smiled kindly, revealing some of her abilities.

"See the past?"

Li Leping was a little unclear, so he could only guess based on the words spoken by the old woman.

Seeing the past clearly, this ability may be similar to the feeling of playing a documentary, but the past in the eyes of the old woman is not a documentary, but something that actually happened.

However, Li Leping didn't pay attention to this ability. He heard the old woman bring up his ability, so he wanted to ask for a proof: "When you were in Qingshi Village, you seemed to see that I was controlling the Forgotten Ghost."

"At that time, I wanted to ask you. In the picture that the Forgotten Ghost occupies in my memory, it shows that its body looks like a female corpse, and it is also wearing the costumes of the Republic of China, so I am curious, do you know Forgotten? Ghost, or the driver who knows the Forgotten Ghost?"

He remembered very clearly that when he was in Qingshi Village, including just now, the Forgotten Ghost on his body suffered some kind of prying eyes.

The source of this look is obviously the old woman in front of her.

"The driver of the Forgotten Ghost..."

The old woman didn't answer right away, but took a sip of hot water silently, a few gleams of light flickered in her drooping eyes, as if she was remembering something.

At this time.

The old woman said, "Chen Mengyao."

It seems like a name.

"Chen Mengyao?" Li Leping was stunned and repeated.

Is this the name of the previous driver of the Forgotten Ghost?
"Compared with her, there is a big gap between the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost you are driving, and I don't know the reason for all this. The specific reason can only be explored by you, the driver."

The old lady did not hide it, but told Li Leping what she knew.

Her words confirmed that Li Leping's guess was correct.

The Forgotten Ghost itself is not complete, but has suffered some kind of dismemberment, which reduces the level of terror and at the same time cuts out the abilities it possesses.
