The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 210 Revealing the Secret ([-])

"So, now you are a copy?"

Gu Li's expression was serious, and it was difficult to accept this fact.

No matter how many supernatural events he had been exposed to, Gu Li didn't know what to say when he saw Gu Chengjun's state at the moment.

"The body of the replica, but before I died, I used some means to transplant my consciousness into the body of the replica." Gu Chengjun said.

At this moment, Gu Li also understood that the person in front of him who looked exactly like his father was a supernatural product possessing the consciousness of his father.

Let ghosts have the thinking of living people?

If ghosts possess human thinking, is it the ghost master who controls the ghosts, or the ghosts who control the people?

Li Leping looked at Gu Chengjun, whose body was unnaturally gray and white. He was like a person walking out of a black and white photo, without any human physical conditions at all.

But it is undeniable that although such a body is unacceptable in terms of social ethics, but with the outbreak of supernatural events these days, who cares about social ethics?
When survival is a problem, it may be a better way to survive by abandoning the flesh and blood of living people and turning into evil spirits.

This is a very bold and terrifying idea, and most importantly, Gu Chengjun turned this idea into reality.

"So, what are you now? A copy of my father? Or a different kind with the memory of a living person? Or, is it my father?" Gu Li stared at Gu Chengjun, his voice low.

Gu Chengjun's face was still so indifferent, but he still replied: "All three."

"Borrow the body of the replica, and let the replica have the consciousness of Gu Chengjun, and the replica with Gu Chengjun's memory is just a Gu Chengjun with a different body. You may find it hard to accept it now, but as your exploration of supernatural powers deepens..."

Speaking of this, Gu Chengjun seemed to have thought of something, and paused.

"Forget it, it might be better if you don't follow my path."

He seemed to have thought of something, so he rejected what he wanted to say just now, and did not continue.

Li Leping knew Gu Chengjun's thoughts well.

No father would want his son to give up his living body and become a ghost like him.

The atmosphere froze again, and the hall was eerily quiet, only Gu Li and Gu Chengjun, the father and son, were silently staring at each other.

At this moment, looking at Gu Li and Gu Chengjun who didn't know how to continue communicating, Li Leping's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he broke the embarrassing situation: "According to what you said, the ghost photo studio should be established in the period of the Republic of China. It was built, and it was out of control in modern times, but you still haven't told us, what is the purpose of the mission sent by the ghost photo studio?"

He has already completed three delivery missions to ghost photo studios, all of which were to take pictures of ghosts.

He had some vague guesses about the purpose of the ghost photo studio.

However, no amount of speculation is as good as the manager in front of him telling himself.

No matter how much half-guessing, it is better to get the correct answer directly.

Gu Chengjun looked at Li Leping and explained bluntly: "The design of the ghost photo gallery is very exquisite. This is not only the credit of the first manager, but also the crystallization of the ghost masters in the entire Republic of China. The ghost photo gallery is equivalent to A part of the industrial chain they built is just one link."

"One of the rings?"

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something.

And in the next moment.

Gu Chengjun raised his hand again.

But this time, his hands were no longer empty.

In his hand, he held several old-fashioned envelopes.

These are a few pieces of yellow-brown envelope paper, and the seal has been torn, and the contents inside should have been taken out.

"Ghost post office?" Li Leping was startled in his heart.

The moment he saw these envelopes, he immediately understood.

There is indeed a profound relationship between the ghost post office and the ghost photo studio.

"What is this? An envelope? Someone sent a letter to the ghost photo studio?"

Gu Li at the side looked at the envelope that Gu Chengjun was holding in his hand, not understanding.

"A place called the ghost post office seems to be still in operation, so the ghost photo studio has been receiving news."

Gu Chengjun briefly mentioned that place, and then continued: "The ghost photo studio is responsible for receiving messages from the ghost post office. As for the details of the ghost post office, you don't need to know too much. After arriving at the post office to send the message, a task will be issued from there, and special personnel will be sent to deal with the supernatural events there.”

"So if you ask me what is the purpose of sending missions from the Ghost Photo Gallery, I can only tell you that the purpose is to deal with the missions sent from there, and at the same time, the photographer will also grow during the process of completing these missions. .”

"Only by becoming stronger can we survive the subsequent missions."

"So that's how it is." Li Leping said to himself in his heart: "One is in charge of detection and transmission of signals, and the other is in charge of follow-up cleaning work."

After the ghost post office sends the investigation results to the ghost photo shop, the ghost photo shop will send special personnel to deal with supernatural events.

Very reasonable, interlocking, each performing its own duties.

At this time, Gu Chengjun glanced at the photo of the old man on the hall, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that with his death and the fact that I opened the door to the sixth floor without knowing it, this ghost The photo studio was completely finished, and the out-of-control replica escaped and wandered in the ghost photo studio, forcing all the couriers and photographers, no matter where they were, to be drawn into the ghost photo studio , and then the replica of the old man cleaned them up one by one."

"Naturally, the place disappeared."

Li Leping understood what he meant: "It is equivalent to a fault in this industrial chain. There are only investigation agencies, but no follow-up processing agencies."

Kill but don't bury, that's probably what it means.

"That's the reason." Gu Chengjun nodded without showing any emotion on his face.

No sentimentality, no remorse.

Although he accidentally released the out-of-control replica of the old man, he has always followed the operating rules of the ghost photo studio, but the problem is who would have thought that the end point of the steps leading to the manager's road would be An out-of-control ghost.

And this out-of-control product, which was captured by the camera on the sixth floor, has the same supernatural power as the second manager.

Even at that time, the photographers in the ghost studio were not bad, but compared with the second manager, the gap was still too obvious.

The spiritual confrontation is very straightforward, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, not to mention that what they have to face is a real ghost.

"Then, what is the purpose of the courier? To recruit people for the ghost studio?" At this time, Gu Li also asked.

Although it was difficult to accept that the gray-and-white man in front of him was his father, since it had already happened and it was irreversible, even if he didn't want to admit it, he could only do so.

"Almost, the couriers who deliver the photos of the ghost photo studio are actually equivalent to a circle belonging to the couriers. Their role is to maintain this circle. I'm going to deliver color photos, there will be a vacancy in the position, and someone will naturally fill it."

"As for the color photographs..."

Speaking of this, the manager of the ghost photo shop was also a little uncertain: "I haven't been awake for a long time, so I haven't had time to explore too much about the ghost photo shop. I have analyzed the color distribution of the ghost photo shop before. The behavior of the photos, I also mistakenly thought that the color photos sent by the ghost photo studio was a performance out of control."

"But as the number of people I have come into contact with has increased, especially when I have the status of a manager, I have a deeper and different understanding of the ghost photo studio."

Hearing this, the expressions of Li Leping and Gu Li became serious.

"Now the ghost photo studio is showing signs of getting out of control because it has been uncontrolled for a long time. At that time, the purpose of distributing color photos should be because the ghost photo shop selected those who it thought had potential for growth, and this This kind of growth potential is much higher than the average person.”

"But now that it's out of control, I guess it's just random hair."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Li couldn't understand: "But how does the ghost photo studio know who has potential? It can't predict the future."

However, what returned to him was his father's eyes full of "caring".

Gu Li was stunned for a while, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "It should be, you don't have this kind of ability, do you?"

However, what he got was not an answer of approval, but an answer of refutation.

"Yes." Gu Chengjun stared at his silly elder, and said solemnly.

"What are you kidding?!"

Gu Li turned pale with shock, scanned the dimly lit hall, and said in disbelief, "This ghostly place can predict the future?"

Even Li Leping's expression on the side was extraordinarily serious.

Sure enough, many amazing secrets can be obtained from the mouth of the manager.

At this time, Gu Chengjun seemed to be comforting him: "Actually, it's not a complete prediction, it's more like a future inferred from all aspects of data, which has reference value."

"But the real future is definitely impossible to predict 100%."

"It's like in the judgment of a ghost photo studio, you are very valuable, but in the end you died in it during the first shooting mission. This is not impossible, and there are many possibilities. After all, ghosts themselves have Uncertainty, and it is only a moment for a ghost to kill someone."

"To be more extreme, the moment you receive the color photo, there is a problem with your mentality, and you directly kill yourself, which is equivalent to the unknown failure of the ghost photo studio."

"Everything in the future is possible, and it is impossible to be directly killed by supernatural power."

Hearing this, Gu Li felt a little more at ease: "It seems that it is acceptable to say so."

However, the next moment, Gu Chengjun broke his comfort zone: "But now, you are going according to the plan of the ghost studio."

"What do you mean?" Gu Li was stunned.

"literal meaning."

Gu Chengjun said: "This is actually my personal opinion. I think the ghost photo studio is probably letting you follow the path of replicating the predecessors."

"Reprint?"

Li Leping frowned.

What is re-enacting the path of predecessors?
"Take Gu Li as an example. You controlled that right hand, so in the task you took to take pictures, some of the ghosts you encountered during the task were the last ghost controler who controlled this right hand. It's been supernatural."

"what?!"

Gu Li looked at his slender right hand like a woman in amazement.

Now, he understood what a so-called copy was.

It is to walk the road walked by the previous driver again, thus giving birth to another ghost driver who controls the same supernatural power.

"So, the task of the ghost photo studio I received is actually asking me to trace the traces left by the previous generation of ghost masters?" Gu Li was surprised.

"It's almost like this." Gu Chengjun nodded.

"But it doesn't explain why the task is limited to Daxi City. The ghosts will wander, and after the death of the ghost master, the ghosts in the body revive. The ghosts don't necessarily only wander in Daxi City."

"Besides, the former driver of this right hand must have been dead for a long time." Gu Liyou questioned.

Gu Chengjun said: "Yes, but the operation mechanism of the ghost photo studio is like this, because the predictive mechanism is based on a ghost in the ghost photo shop, so the specific arrangements are all in charge of that ghost. To put it bluntly, It is a ghost who arranges the path you will take in the future, but this path has already been walked by the predecessors, the only difference is that the spirit of driving is different, but the basic logic of driving is the same."
