The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 215 Weird Street

Li Leping sat on a chair, flipping through the materials in his hand, and listening to Wang Xiaoming's summary.

Wang Xiaoming's analysis makes sense.

This seemingly spoiled teddy bear means an extremely terrible supernatural event.

Death to touch, infinite proliferation.

"But the situation seems to be under control for the time being?"

Li Leping looked at Wang Xiaoming again and asked.

On the way he came, he didn't see any teddy bears or charred corpses on the side of the road.

This shows that the ghost of the teddy bear has not yet affected this area.

"After the incident broke out, Li Jun had contact with the teddy bears and burned them with will-o'-the-wisps for a round, but he could only temporarily restrict their wandering."

Wang Xiaoming asked the projection to switch pictures again.

It was the same street, but this time, the street was full of corpses lying on the ground, all of which were scorched by some kind of flame and turned black.

Hundreds of charred corpses piled up together. In this supernatural incident involving at least thousands of people, these charred ghost slaves were just one of the streets.

However, hundreds of corpses are now like a mountain of corpses, a black mass, and no one knows how many corpses there are.

However, the teddy bear they were holding also disappeared.

Obviously, this was Li Jun's method. He used will-o'-the-wisps to temporarily clear out these teddy bears, or more precisely, the derivatives of the teddy bears.

The teddy bears held by these ghost slaves certainly cannot be equated with real ghosts, but possess some supernatural powers from the origin of ghosts, which can be destroyed.

However, once the number grows to a too exaggerated value, there is no need to consider the difference between the source ghost and the derivative.

If there were really tens of thousands of teddy bear derivatives attacking, at that time, even the top ghost masters would have to be forcibly piled up to death.

"Although the outbreak has been temporarily suppressed, the source of the teddy bear has not yet been found."

At this time, Li Jun, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke out.

"Ghosts will be suppressed, but they won't be killed. The teddy bear that can be burned by me is definitely not the ghost itself."

Li Leping frowned upon hearing this.

The situation has only temporarily returned to the initial stage, but the fundamental problem has not been resolved.

He looked at Wang Xiaoming, waved his hand and recorded the information of the funeral home in Dachuan City: "So, you think the source of the ghosts is in this funeral home?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "I don't dare to guarantee 100%, I can only analyze it based on the data. According to Li Jun and the information I just collected, the funeral home is the most likely."

"The law of killing teddy bears is to touch them before they die, so there will always be some survivors who can escape. According to the confessions of the survivors, if you push the time forward, you can know that the survivor who first discovered the teddy bear incident The victims were all run away from the funeral home, they were only going to the memorial service, but they met the staff in the funeral home with the teddy bear, and then it happened."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoming gave Li Jun another look.

Li Jun understood and said: "And when I was dealing with the ghost slaves on the streets, I could vaguely feel that the will-o'-the-wisps would retract when they spread to the funeral parlor. This is some kind of supernatural interference. , causing the will-o’-the-wisp to appear in this situation.”

Li Leping sat on the seat, touching his chin: "So that's how it is."

He still agrees with the analysis of Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun.

Although Li Jun was a little reckless, his brain was not too stupid.

As for Wang Xiaoming, let alone.

"So, what's your plan?" Li Leping crossed his fingers and placed them in front of his chin.

Wang Xiaoming said earnestly: "The plan is very simple. You and Li Jun will join hands to go deep into the funeral parlor and find the source of the ghost. Anyway, there is only one ultimate mission goal, and that is to solve this supernatural incident."

"Joining forces?" Li Leping glanced at Li Jun who had a stern expression, but couldn't hide the burning smell on his body.

"In his state, are you sure you want to let him make a move?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "This is Li Jun's own request, and for the sake of safety and the overall situation, in the face of unknown situations, it is the best choice for you to form a team. One has the ability to confront ghosts head-on, and the other has ghost domain, which can ensure that you will be able to fight against ghosts head-on. Evacuate in time when the situation changes."

"Of course, if you must act alone, I have no objection. After all, you are the person in charge of Okawa City and have this right."

Li Leping said: "Then let's work together, as long as you don't worry about Li Jun's consumption."

The matter must be resolved, and although the hazard level of this incident is very high, from the current point of view, it does not seem to make people feel hopeless.

Especially for him, he who has mastered the man-seeking ghost, the last thing he is afraid of is that there is a ghost approaching.

Not to be afraid of any so-called derivatives approaching.

In fact, what worries him the most is how to let ghosts approach him.

Wang Xiaoming said: "Well, let's act now. The longer it takes, I'm afraid there will be some changes in the teddy bear. After all, there should still be survivors in that area. They just hid in some corners and were not found. These people They all have the potential to become new ghost slaves."

"It's a race of efficiency and survivability, and the sooner it's resolved, the more people can be saved."

Li Leping felt that what Wang Xiaoming said was very good and worthy of deep study and thinking.

But one size counts for one size, he still asked tactfully: "Is there a reward? It's considered support."

Although the affairs of Dachuan City were originally under his control, it was not too much to take the opportunity to get some resources.

It doesn't matter how forceful the words are, and there is no need to coerce or lure, as that will easily lead to the opposite effect.

Just convey the meaning in place.

Wang Xiaoming is a very generous person, and he doesn't know how to pick and choose.

"Yes." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Really?" Li Leping began to look forward to it.

He called his assistant and asked him to fetch some things.

The few assistants who seemed to have been waiting for a long time to be summoned came over carrying the boxes.

They opened their suitcases and turned to Li Leping and Li Jun.

Two suitcases, each containing a palm-sized rag doll sewn from dirty old fabrics, stuffed with something unknown, with a rotting corpse smell.

Two suitcases, two dolls.

"Die the doll."

Li Leping stared intently, he had seen these dolls before, they were sewn by the old woman in 301.

However, unlike the rag doll in the vegetable basket last time, the rag doll in the suitcase now has a golden needle the size of a pencil inserted into its limbs, stomach, and head.

Six golden needles fastened the thing firmly inside the suitcase.

It seems that Wang Xiaoming listened to the old lady's words.

"You should still remember how to use this thing, so I won't repeat it."

While Wang Xiaoming was talking, he signaled for his assistant to hand over the rectangular box to Li Leping.

"You can take this too." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Ok?"

Li Leping looked at the box that Wang Xiaoming took over with some surprise.

This box is very familiar, it is a box where ghost candles are stored.

"You know what's inside and how to use it," Wang Xiaoming said.

"How many ghost candles do you have?" Li Leping's face darkened.

Wang Xiaoming emphasized the rarity of the ghost candle many times, but now he took out another ghost candle.

This can't help but make Li Leping wonder if ghost candles are so precious after all.

"The ghost candle has always been a strategic material, so you can rest assured."

Wang Xiaoming clearly saw the doubts in Li Leping's heart, and explained simply: "I have been in Dachuan City for three days, and today is already the second day of this month, and Ghost Candle also has new output."

"Although every month, after the new ghost candle is produced, it will go through various complicated discussions before being distributed to different forces, but the one that belongs to me will definitely not be missing."

"I originally planned to give it to you before leaving Okawa City, but it doesn't make any difference if I give it to you now."

"Are you planning to give me your amulet?" Li Leping said.

"I still owe you two ghost candles, and you use them to deal with supernatural events, and the value of them is much greater than that of me." Wang Xiaoming said without distress, "I hold them in my hand and use them. There are not many opportunities, and in the end, they will be used to make deals with others in exchange for valuable information or material exchanges.”

Having said all this, Li Leping is not polite anymore, accepting the ghost candle that he deserves at all, and as for the surrogate doll, he just accepts it with a smile.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Li Leping seemed to have thought of something.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Xiaoming: "Co-author, are you waiting here for me to take the initiative to say this?"

Thinking back carefully, those Wang Xiaoming's assistants were not ordered to bring the dead dolls and ghost candles here at all, but had been prepared for a long time.

"You are really insidious. I will speak first, and you can use these supplies that were originally intended for support as rewards for me."

Li Leping immediately understood the logic.

Naturally, Wang Xiaoming would not admit it, but sat back to his seat: "The reward has been accepted, let's go quickly."

"It's ok, Wang Xiaoming, when the time comes, there will be a few surrogate dolls in the vegetable basket, so don't blame me." Li Le said silently in his heart without changing his face.

The next moment, he carried the suitcase, stuffed the ghost candle into the ghost clothes, and left the building.

In fact, Li Leping had to deal with this incident regardless of whether he was paid or supported.

There is no reason, just because this incident broke out in Okawa City, and Okawa City is his city, that's all.

outside the building.

Li Leping spread his hands: "You have contacted before, you are familiar with this place, you can lead the way."

When Li Jun heard this, his eyelids jumped.

This is Okawa City, in terms of how familiar it is, it should be you who are from Okawa, right?

However, Li Jun obviously didn't want to argue with Li Leping here. He looked in the direction of the intersection: "Let's go, the funeral home is not far from here."

It's only a few streets away, and I didn't choose to drive, let alone use the ghost domain.

Relying on their two legs, the two walked all the way over like this.

As night approached, it got dark quickly in this season, and the streets suddenly revealed a deserted and ominous atmosphere.

Along the way, there was not a single person nearby. However, the doors of many shops were open, and they were still open to welcome customers, but the lights were not turned on.

Since it is close to the funeral parlor, in these open shops, apart from some selling beverages, tobacco and alcohol, and some restaurants, the rest of the shops are dedicated to selling all kinds of funeral supplies.

Paper people, paper horses, even paper houses, paper cars, wreaths and coins, everything is available.

If you died here on the spot, I'm afraid a one-stop service is ready for you.

At dusk, the place is terribly quiet, there is no sound around, and the whole street is rendered by a strange halo. The last rays of the sun can only illuminate the road surface of the street, but the shops on both sides are indeed plunged into darkness. middle.

"what is that?"

Suddenly, Li Leping stopped in his tracks.

Vaguely, it seems that several figures can be seen appearing in a shop.

When I got closer, I realized that these figures belonged to the paper figurines lined up in the display cabinets.

The faces of these paper figurines were painted with bright colors, and they were covered with clothes. They looked fake, but in this gloomy atmosphere, the painted faces were particularly weird.

"The owner of this shop is damned."

Li Leping thinks that no one will come to this ghost place to buy things, because before customers come, they have to look at the paper figurines inside the glass window.

"Don't look, hurry up." Li Jun turned his head, looked at Li Leping who was standing in front of the shop, and urged.

It was still some distance away from the place where he came into contact with the ghost slave, and even further away from the funeral parlor.

He didn't want to waste time here looking at those paper figurines.

Li Leping didn't check it carefully, and immediately followed Li Jun's pace.

However, just as Li Leping turned around, his figure disappeared around the corner of the intersection.

In that shop, the paper figurines displayed in the window suddenly trembled strangely.

And behind them, in the dark shop, small figures appeared one after another.

Although those figures were short, they were very fat, and there were two ears on top of their heads.

The store was filled with teddy bears at some point.

Even, on the opposite side of this shop and in the adjacent shops, at this moment, countless teddy bears appeared in these shops.

They turned their tattered bodies silently, and their empty eye sockets seemed to be watching the direction Li Leping left...

Following Li Jun and walking a certain distance, there was an inexplicable cold atmosphere lingering here, and there was a faint smell of corpses in the air, and at the same time, there was a pungent burnt smell.

This smell is like the smell of a corpse being roasted on fire, which makes people feel creepy.

"almost there."

Li Leping knew that this was Li Jun's handwriting. He had once blocked the ghost slaves holding teddy bears in this area, which caused this mixed smell to linger all the time.

Along the way, Li Jun didn't say a word, just walked ahead and led the way, and the surroundings were extremely deserted.

But at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Li Leping stepped forward and asked.

Although he verbally asked Li Jun to lead the way, he still knew where the funeral home in Dachuan City was.

There is still a distance from the funeral home, so there is no need to stop here.

"The body is gone."

Suddenly, Li Jun's voice was low, and he said such a creepy fact.

At the same time, his eyes flickered, alerting his surroundings.

"Corpse? Those ghost slaves you burned to death?"

Li Leping reacted quickly, and his face became vigilant.

He heard what Li Jun said, and realized that something was wrong.

"Be careful, the corpses that I burned with will-o'-the-wisps were all piled up here, but they are all gone now." Li Jun looked at the road ahead and lowered his voice.

There were at least hundreds of ghost slaves gathered on this road, and even the pervasive smell has not completely dissipated, but now there is not even a trace of a corpse.

In this ghost place, who will clean up these corpses?
"Boom, boom, boom."

suddenly.

A series of crisp sounds attracted the attention of Li Leping and Li Jun.

Holding the flashlights in their hands, they immediately looked around.

"Bottle?"

The light shone, only to find an empty wine bottle rolling over.

"Did you scare yourself? Or..."

Li Leping was still thinking about it.

However, what happened next made his scalp tingle.

"Li Jun." He whispered.

"What's going on?" Li Jun's nerves tensed, and his face became tense.

But then, before Li Leping could answer, his eyes shrank suddenly.

I saw the flashlight shining into a shop next to it. Looking at the name of the shop and the decoration of the house, it should be a restaurant.

However, at some point, a wreath was placed at the entrance of the restaurant.

A huge wreath, the white strips hanging on it spread out in the shape of "eight", but the white strips are empty, with nothing written on them.

"Damn it, the funeral is in a public place." Li Leping said coldly.

Because as the light of his flashlight shone on the road ahead, he found that not only the entrance of the restaurant, but also all the entrances of the restaurants ahead had a wreath.

All the way to the blind corner of the vision, these wreaths are placed all the way forward, and it seems that there is one in front of the front door of the shop.

If you don't come here, you can't find these wreaths hidden in the door.

"It's probably being targeted by something, get ready, I'll set it on fire as soon as I find out." Li Jun also said at this moment.

"That's not the point. The point is, should we move forward?"

Li Leping raised a crucial question at this time.

Do you want to move on?

Li Jun was a little uncertain.

Things seem to have gotten out of control here.

The mysterious disappearance of the teddy bear ghost and these wreaths that were placed on both sides of the road.

Leaving aside the walk to the funeral parlor, it is tantamount to crossing a street lined with wreaths.

The big question is, are these unknown situations caused by the teddy bear?
If not, what the hell caused it?
"Huh? Li Leping, look."

Suddenly, Li Jun took a few steps forward, as if he had discovered something, the light of the flashlight also stopped somewhere.

It was a wreath erected in front of a certain shop. Judging by the things placed in the cabinets of this shop, it is probably a place that specializes in selling "small supplies" and the like. supplies.

However, just in front of the store, there seems to be words written on the wreath placed.

Two pieces of white paper looked like handwriting written with a brush, but the color of the ink was a weird dark red.

It looked like dead man's blood.

The handwriting was weird and distorted, and it was not written by a living person at all, so that Li Jun couldn't see what was written on it from this distance.

However, when he took a closer look, just after he saw the general content above, his expression changed suddenly.

Only six words were written on it.

"You are being watched."
