The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 223 Evacuation in Despair
"A city, is it just like this?"

Li Jun was not as calm and rational as Wang Xiaoming, his voice was hoarse, he felt unwilling, and his tears rolled down uncontrollably.

He is a soldier, and from the first day he joined the army, the ideological education he received was to defend his family and the country.

But right now, Dachuan City, a city of 2000 million people, just surrendered to Li Gui?
How can he accept this? !

But Wang Xiaoming doesn't care whether you accept the status quo or not.

All he knew was that the situation couldn't continue to deteriorate.

Li Leping has already been picked up, so do you want to watch Li Jun go all out at a time like this?

This is tantamount to sending to death.

"It's useless to try your best. In a supernatural event, this kind of death behavior is tantamount to stupidity. If a ghost is revived, using another ghost to control another ghost will only make things worse."

Although Wang Xiaoming did not personally experience the funeral parlor incident with Li Leping, he already felt the horror of this supernatural event from Li Leping's phone call.

A borrowed ghost that has grown up and dominated nine ghosts.

A city full of ten ghosts wandering around, and these ghosts are not scattered, but controlled by a ghost with wisdom.

To deal with this incident, not only had to fight against the borrowed ghost who was equivalent to the commander in chief, but also confronted the other nine ghosts head-on during the confrontation.

But, not to mention the other ghosts, Wang Xiaoming couldn't think of a way to fight against the borrowing ghost alone.

The ability to borrow ghosts directly.

This means that a ghost master who has controlled a ghost is not even qualified to fight against it.

But now, let's not talk about how many ghost masters there are in the country who have controlled more than two ghosts, nor discuss whether they are willing to come to support.

Even if they all gather here, what's the use?

After controlling two ghosts, if one is borrowed suddenly, it will inevitably lead to a spiritual imbalance in the body.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, before the participating ghost masters start a formal confrontation, the ghosts will be revived because of the spiritual imbalance.

In other words, it is meaningless to send more ghost masters to support.

This is even tantamount to adding new ghosts to the borrowed ghosts, making them more terrifying.

Ghost masters are people who can be injured, revive ghosts, and die, but they just have some weird abilities.

In front of real ghosts, they still need to be cautious, because if they are not careful, their fragile bodies may be torn apart by ghosts.

However, there are ten such ghosts in Dachuan City.

The level of terror and danger here is not just as simple as A-level, this place is already a dead end.

"There have been S-level supernatural events in foreign countries. It is only a matter of time before this level of supernatural events occurs in China. It just happened to happen today, and it happened first in Okawa City."

Wang Xiaoming didn't say it clearly, but his words had already defined the level of this incident.

The first S-class supernatural event in China.

After so many Interpols have been fighting desperately for so long, things are still developing in the worst direction.

However, Wang Xiaoming was already mentally prepared.

After thinking for a while, his face remained calm: "What we have to do now is to withdraw from Dachuan City first, as Li Leping said."

As he said that, he glanced at the funeral parlor, which was sunk in the darkness, with only a vague outline emerging.

Immediately, he looked at the assistants at the side: "The ghost domain has not yet spread outwards, Li Leping should still be trying to find a way to delay it for a while, but he certainly won't last long."

"Contact the headquarters immediately and let them use the TV stations in Dachuan City and all organizations that can send messages to directly release the evacuation news. No matter what the reason is, let the citizens flee outside the city first, and count as few as possible."

"Also, contact Mr. Qin and ask him to come to Dachuan City."

Wang Xiaoming issued an order that sounded indifferent, but it was the most suitable order for the current situation.

At this time, since confrontation is already impossible.

Then we can only preserve our vitality as much as possible...

As for the old lady who lives in 301 Mingyue Community?
She definitely has the ability to solve all this, but Wang Xiaoming thinks that she will not make a move, and will just watch silently.

That conversation in 301 not only made him sure that his thoughts were correct, but also let him understand the views of some ghost masters in the Republic of China on this era.

Non-interference, non-influence, non-intervention.

Perhaps the fall of a city is an unacceptable thing in the eyes of people of this era.

But in the turbulent era of the Republic of China, coupled with various supernatural events, ghost masters like the old woman probably saw more dead people than Wang Xiaoming ate.

Even if Okawa City falls, no matter how many people die, in the eyes of that old woman, it is probably just a repetition of what happened in the past, and there is nothing worth fighting for.

……

Okawa City Funeral Home.

Li Leping's chest has returned to its normal appearance, but there is still a lot of blood left at the corner of his mouth.

Inside the body, the ghost is still in a state of silence.

It is impossible to wait for the ghost to wake up again.

There is simply not enough time.

The ghost candle burned to the last bit, and the emerald green flame was about to be extinguished.

"Really, I've tried my best..."

Li Leping stood up slowly, with some difficulty.

He had the experience of being chased and killed by a ghost, but it was the first time he had encountered a situation where his face was covered in blood when he was beaten by a ghost.

At this moment, he looked at the short stick lying beside him.

"Knocking on shadows is the law of killing people, but it is not necessary, because I am a human being, not a ghost, so I can act without following the rules. Knocking on shadows should just be a way to launch an attack through a medium."

"Although the borrowing ghost has wisdom, he is still not very smart. Instead of hitting me with a stick, he chose to trigger the killing pattern of the short stick and attack me."

"This kind of thing, can you just throw it away?"

If it was Li Leping, he definitely wouldn't just throw out this kind of dreadful supernatural short stick.

Although this kind of attack method that hits the shadow and transmits the attack to the body is very terrifying.

However, if one blow fails, wouldn't that be the same as sending the stick in front of the opponent?
Just like at this moment, the short stick came to Li Leping's side.

Seeing this, he resolutely lit the last remaining ghost candle.

He needs time to recover, and at the same time, he needs to use the candlelight of the ghost candle to force the borrowing ghost back, so that he cannot take the short stick back.

But this behavior of borrowing ghosts made Li Leping vaguely realize where the boundary between humans and ghosts lies.

A ghost who has stolen the memory of a living person, even if he behaves like a human in some ways, is not a complete person after all.

Just like a ghost master who has harnessed the ability of a ghost, he cannot be regarded as a complete ghost.

This is similar to the fact that living people are trapped in their own fragility and cannot fully exert the supernatural power of ghosts.

In the same way, even if the consciousness of a living person is stolen, a ghost cannot completely incarnate into a person due to the influence of its own instinct.

This is like two people sitting on a seesaw, one of them must be at the top and the other at the bottom.

"Then, those who are in a state of balance can neither be regarded as human beings nor ghosts..."

Suddenly, Li Leping thought of Gu Chengjun he met in the ghost photo studio.

A ghost with the consciousness of a living person.

That might be the answer to a question.

However, it is impossible for Li Leping to think too much about this kind of thing now.

He just found a logic that could explain why borrowing ghosts still obeyed the law of killing people with short sticks.

Because borrowing ghosts is ghosts.

If you are a ghost, you will abide by the law of killing.

now.

He reached out to pick up the short stick that was thrown by a ghost and almost killed him.

"Just like the hatchet in Yang Jian's hand, even without a medium, simple physical contact should be able to display the original ability of the supernatural item, but I just don't know what the cost of using this ghost thing is."

The jet-black short stick brought a strange coldness, but it did not cause any abnormality to Li Leping's body.

He is analyzing and thinking about the usage of this short stick.

"Isn't this stick made of wood?"

When I actually picked up this short stick, I realized that the material of this stick was extremely cold, and it felt extraordinarily hard, not like wood at all.

It's more like some kind of metal material, and I don't know how it is made.

However, now Li Leping doesn't care how the stick is made.

Because he suddenly felt sticky on his palm.

"What is this? Paint?"

Li Leping slightly loosened his grip on the short stick, only to find that his palm had been stained by a black thing at some point.

This thing was a bit sticky, and those who didn't know it thought it was because the paint on the short stick hadn't dried yet.

"This taste..."

Li Leping raised his hand and sniffed a little.

A disgusting stench entered the nostrils.

"This is blood..."

Li Leping understood why the short stick looked so black.

What was painted on this short stick was not paint at all, but blood, a dark red blood.

It's just that in the surrounding dark environment, this dark red is rendered no different from black.

This slight difference in color can only be seen by lighting it up and observing it very carefully.

"It doesn't matter if it's blood or what."

In this case, Li Leping can't control anything else.

Use it first.

No matter how terrifying the cost of using it is, even if it is a sudden death on the spot, it doesn't matter.

Right now, he has been surrounded by ghosts, borrowing ghosts and all the ghosts it controls are hovering outside the candlelight of the ghost candle. The moment the ghost candle goes out, they will rush in and kill Li Leping.

The ending that must die, and the ending that may die, choose one of the two, the answer is self-evident.

"It's just relying on this thing and the death doll."

Li Leping held a short stick in one hand, and a blood-stained doll in the other.

This is his only means.

If the plan fails, he will be overwhelmed by countless ghosts.

At that time, even if Forgotten Ghost has the ability to recover from injuries, in the face of so many spiritual erosions, the speed of recovery must not keep up with the speed of erosion.

At that time, Li Leping will really go offline.

"Whoosh..."

at this time.

The emerald green flame finally exploded, sending out the last weak energy.

The ghost candle was completely burned out.

"bring it on……"

Li Leping let out a low growl.

The candlelight was extinguished, and the surrounding darkness immediately eroded like thick ink.

In the darkness, countless strange figures exuded a cold aura, and slowly walked towards Li Leping.

At this moment, when the ghost candle was extinguished, a dark blue flame replaced the extinguished emerald green candle again.

Li Leping picked up the will-o'-the-wisp lantern again, holding it together with the substitute doll.

"It's you bastard."

Under the light of the fire, Li Leping's eyes were fixed, and he immediately found the ghost among these figures.

It was a pale and dead face.

Belonging to Wu Wu's face.

A pair of empty eyes looked at Li Leping strangely.

Immediately, without stopping, Li Leping didn't flinch under the siege of the ghosts, but rushed to the borrowing ghost's position.

This is the area covered by ghost fire lanterns. Even if you want to escape with ghost clouds, you can't escape.

this moment.

Li Leping waved the short stick in his hand, and slammed it towards the ghost's head.

At the same time, the spirit of the forgotten ghost spread outward again.

This is the strongest state of the forgotten ghost, and it is also the method that Li Leping will only choose to use when he is desperate.

Because even if the Forgotten Ghost is already in a dead state, Li Leping doesn't know what the consequences will be if the power of the Forgotten Ghost is used excessively.

It was at this time that the power of the forgotten ghost exploded again, acting on the teddy bear and the bowed ghost again, restraining them that were about to revive again.

These two ghosts are the most dangerous ghosts next to borrowing ghosts, and they have the curse of mortal death, so they must be controlled as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the plan cannot be carried out.

And at the same time that the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost spread out, the black short stick landed on the head of the ghost with precision.

"Ah~!"

The ghosts who surrounded him let out a strange and miserable scream, which was creepy to hear.

Its entire skull was directly sunken by the short stick, and its head was already deformed.

immediately.

The horrible spirit from the short stick has eaten away the ghost's body.

Its icy body suddenly fell to the ground, showing a twisted and weird posture, like a corpse without joints.

At this moment, it seemed as if the dark clouds pervading the sky had also been hit by this stick, and the gathered ghost clouds seemed to have been swept away by something, and suddenly began to retreat towards the two sides.

And those ghosts who were dominated by borrowed ghosts also stagnated for a moment at this moment.

Like a program error, there was a temporary downtime.

However, with one blow, the short black stick knocked down the borrowing ghost, and at the same time, a terrible curse also broke out on Li Leping.

At this moment, sweat dripped from his head, his teeth were clenched tightly, and his veins burst out, as if he was enduring some kind of extreme pain.

As for the short stick, it was not held in the hand either.

It can be seen that the entire arm that was wielding the short stick before began to fester rapidly, and the skin color turned into a dark purple like bruised blood, and at the same time, an uncomfortable rancid smell was emitted from the arm.

When the stick was swung down, although the borrowing ghost was smashed to the point of losing the ability to move, Li Leping felt uncomfortable.

The arm was cursed, it looked like it was about to rot, and he couldn't even feel the sensation of the arm, as if it didn't belong to him anymore.

Naturally, the hand holding the short stick was released, and the short stick fell to the ground again.

"Sure enough, the more terrifying the supernatural item, the greater the accompanying price."

Li Leping didn't have time to pick up the short stick again, he didn't dare to stop at all.

After swinging the stick, he was still sprinting forward.

Li Gui, who was dominated by Borrowing Ghosts, did not shut down for too long.

These ghosts just lost the control of borrowing ghosts, but that doesn't mean they were also attacked by short sticks.

The ghosts that dominated them with ghosts disappeared at this moment, causing them to stagnate for only a second or two, but they quickly recovered and focused on the escaped Li Leping again.

Immediately, Guiyun brought those strange figures and approached again.

"Go on."

One of Li Leping's arms has been crippled, and the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost cannot restore it immediately.

He could only use his teeth to bite off the gold needle nailed to the doll's body in embarrassment, and from time to time his lips touched the dead doll exuding a rancid smell, which made him almost vomit.

immediately.

He threw the strangely shaped rag doll in one direction.

After the doll fell to the ground, it turned over and jumped up.

It turned its head, as if looking at the surrounding situation, looking around very curiously.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed to have an unknown sensory ability, and started to run with its short legs, getting farther and farther away from Li Leping.

The surrogate doll that was stained with his blood seemed to have replaced his existence, and all the ghosts that followed behind him changed direction at this moment, chasing in the direction of the surrogate doll.

The ghost cloud that shrouded it also quickly dissipated, and turned towards the direction where the dead baby was.

Seeing that the dead baby was in effect, Li Leping didn't dare to slow down at all.

There were too many ghosts behind them. Even if the most dangerous teddy bears and ghosts with bowed heads hadn't broken free from the shackles of the forgotten ghosts, it was estimated that they would wake up in just a dozen seconds.

I can't stop, I have to run out of a certain range now, only if Li Gui can't see him, can he be gradually forgotten by Li Gui.

A person who cannot be remembered is not only unable to be remembered by humans, but even ghosts cannot remember him.

Of course, the premise is that the level of horror of this ghost cannot be too high. If the level of terror of the ghost is higher than that of the forgotten ghost, and it is still a ghost with consciousness, then Li Leping's characteristic of being unable to be remembered will not exist.

But now, he has never encountered a ghost of this level.

This is his plan.

First repel the borrowing ghosts, then restrain the two ghosts with the curse of mortal death, and finally use the surrogate doll to lure the rest of the ghosts away.

And the last thing Li Leping has to do is to use the spirit of the forgotten ghost to make these ghosts forget his existence, so as to give up chasing and killing him.

Right now, Li Leping was running panting.

His running posture also looked a little weird because of the curse on his arm, with one arm hanging limply beside him, with a slight rocking motion back and forth as his body swayed.

Across the parking lot, he finally saw the gate of the funeral home.

There was no rush to leave.

Before leaving, he put his charred straw hat back on.

There were countless teddy bears wandering around in the street outside. Although they probably wouldn't gather together all the time, if Li Leping walked out like this, he would definitely be watched.

Time was running out, so he temporarily took some gold leaf and grabbed it in his hand, and then used the hand holding the gold leaf to hold the lanyard of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern, so as to isolate his body from the will-o'-the-wisp lantern.

The faint blue flames were extinguished, and the surroundings were once again plunged into darkness.

"Let's go."

Li Leping turned his head for the last time and glanced at the funeral parlor, which was still deep in darkness.

Although he knew that there was an extremely terrifying supernatural event inside.

However, he also knows that his limit can only be limited to this.

With my current level, I don't have the qualifications to fight against those ghosts. I can only watch them occupy the funeral home.

And soon, as Borrowing Ghost recovers from the blow of the short stick, it, which has already stolen the consciousness of the living, will inevitably walk out of the funeral home with its terrifying army of ghosts.

Li Leping has been defeated by it, all means have been exhausted, even the ghost clothes have been taken away by it.

Borrowing ghosts is already overwhelming, the extent of its growth is too exaggerated, and the situation has already made people feel hopeless.

Originally, before retreating, Li Leping wanted to make a last effort to try to erase the consciousness stolen by ghosts.

However, since Wu Wu's consciousness was borrowed by the supernatural power of the ghost, even though it is said to be the consciousness of a living person, this so-called consciousness has actually turned into a product born by the supernatural power of the ghost.

The borrowed consciousness is also closely related to the supernatural power of borrowing ghosts.

This also means that if you want to erase the consciousness stolen by borrowing ghosts, you must fight against the supernatural power of borrowing ghosts.

This is much more difficult than directly erasing the consciousness of a living person.

However, in the funeral home, Li Leping had no chance to use this method of erasing consciousness.

The Forgotten Ghost was either suppressing the will-o'-the-wisp lantern or recovering his injuries, and he had to keep an eye on the two ghosts with the curse of mortal death, the teddy bear and the bow-headed ghost.

I can't draw my hand to fight against borrowing ghosts.

Attempts at the end to give it a shot also failed.

Unknowingly, this supernatural event has evolved into a terrifying and hopeless unsolvable pattern.

If it can be detected earlier, it may be possible to contain the ghost before it develops.

But Zhuge Liang didn't make any sense afterwards, and borrowing the ghost itself had already stolen some of Wu Wu's consciousness. Since it knew how to set a trap and hang Li Leping out, it must know how to hide its own existence.

In other words, before it develops, it will not be actively exposed at all, and no one will be able to detect that something is wrong with the funeral home.

Maybe someone sensed it, but for example the staff at the funeral home.

But look at those dead people floating in mid-air, and the dead man with his head bowed behind the door.

What's the use of noticing it, the news can't be spread at all.

As a result, the situation has reached a point of no return.
