The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 287 New Year's Eve Dinner

However, it is counterproductive.

Zhang Xiaoxiao still died, very suddenly, his supernatural powers were not strong enough to fight against the ghost, and he was killed by the ghost after a face-to-face encounter.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoxiao's death did not exceed Li Leping's expectations.

Death is a very normal thing in supernatural events.

Now that you have the awareness to deal with things, you must have the awareness to face death before that.

However, what made Li Leping unacceptable was the ending of Zhang Xiaoxiao's family.

Two old people, a woman, and two children, one of whom has not had time to be born, has ushered in such a cruel ending.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's whole family was wiped out. If Li Leping didn't come to visit the grave, maybe these six tombstones would just be isolated graves here.

What Li Leping couldn't bear the most was that Su Hong, a ghost master who used to belong to the headquarters, was among those who attacked.

The family that was supposed to enjoy preferential treatment in Dajing City because of Zhang Xiaoxiao's sacrifice was unexpectedly intercepted and killed by Wu Wu on the way to Dajing City.

However, Su Hong, the former head of Dachuan City, watched all this happen, and he might even have signaled it himself.

How ironic, the person who was supposed to protect them has suddenly become the executioner of appeasement and indulgence.

They died in this way in the villa where Li Leping lived temporarily. The family of five were neatly placed on the floor. They died in a miserable state. Their bodies were covered with scars left by the sharp dagger blades, and blood flowed. Dye the entire floor red.

The reason why Li Leping hates sleeping the most is because every time he closes his eyes, he can't help recalling the horrible experiences that went straight to his heart.

Some people have such a strong sleeping ability that they pass out as soon as they close their eyes.

However, for people like Li Leping who are often under high pressure, if they want to rest, they often need to recall some warm and gentle things in their minds to help them sleep.

However, whenever Li Leping lays on the bed and closes his eyes, all he recalls is those unforgettable painful experiences.

The more you don't want to think about it, the clouds and smoke of the past will always take the initiative to occupy your mind.

The most suffocating thing is that when Zhang Xiaoxiao's family members died, there was not even a whole body left. They were directly blown to pieces in the flames of the explosion, and were mercilessly burned by the scorching flames.

That time was also Li Leping's most angry time. The raging fire seemed to be expressing the anger in his heart.

The death of Zhang Xiaoxiao's family is the eternal heartbreak in Li Leping's heart. He failed Zhang Xiaoxiao's entrustment, and the death of this family also taught Li Leping a hard lesson.

That is people's ulterior motives. In this world under the supernatural pressure, you can't use your own brain circuits to guess the brain circuits of some lunatics.

Even if this person's superficial identity is your colleague, even if he is in the same camp as you on the surface.

However, he may turn his face at any time and stab you in the back while you are not paying attention.

Because your existence has damaged his interests and divided the rights he can have.

Up to now, although everything is over, Su Hong's body has been found in the funeral parlor, and then burned.

However, this painful experience is unforgettable.

After standing in front of the six tombstones in silence for a long time, Li Leping took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

After lighting three cigarettes, Li Leping put them on the steps in front of the tombstone.

The cigarette burns gradually, releasing a scent mixed with nicotine.

"Have a good rest."

He reached out to help Zhang's small tombstone. There was no touching parting, and Li Leping just said his farewell in the simplest language.

Then, he slowly stood up and left.

A few strands of white smoke from burning cigarettes fluttered, as if waving goodbye to Li Leping.

……

"Ozawa...over there, you have to take good care of mom..."

"Wife, I'm useless, I'm sorry... over there, you should also be good."

In another cemetery, Chen Zhong sat on the ground with red eyes, staring at the two tombstones in front of him, dazed, and muttering in his mouth.

It is hard to imagine that Chen Zhong, who is so strong and resolute in the outside world, is now sitting on the ground as if he has lost his soul, with one hand on his knee, talking to himself like this to the tombstone.

Li Leping stood not far away, watching Chen Zhong's cry in front of the tombstone. He didn't step forward to disturb him, but just stood there, watching silently, waiting for Chen Zhong to vent the pain in his heart.

At this moment, Chen Zhong was not his liaison officer, but a father who lost his child, and a husband who lost his wife.

Many people lost important people in the incident of borrowing ghosts, but their memories were all erased by Li Leping, so their lives would not be so painful.

Only Chen Zhong, even though Li Leping took the initiative to ask, he also verbally rejected Li Leping's kindness.

"With pain in my heart, I can better remember the departure of those people, and I can live stronger in this world for them. No matter how difficult and exhausting the process is, I don't want to escape."

This is Chen Zhong's answer.

Just looking at the way he was crying heart-piercingly now, Li Leping couldn't say anything.

People have to pay for their own choices. Since they decide to live with pain, they can only live with this grief all the way.

"Detective Li?"

Chen Zhong, who had been focusing on the tombstone, did not know how much time had passed, and as the haze caused by the tears in front of his eyes gradually subsided, he saw the man wearing a black coat standing on the steps not far away, as if Young people overlooking this cemetery.

The young man didn't move at all, with an unfamiliar face and a sickly pale complexion, with his hands in his pockets, silently looking at this side, like a person who has nothing to do with the world.

"Don't worry about me, you can do whatever you want."

Suddenly, a flat voice came from the ear.

Even though they were tens of meters apart, the voice could clearly reach Chen Zhong's ears.

There is no doubt that this is some kind of supernatural means.

Chen Zhong was also used to these special and weird methods, he wiped his eyes to wipe away the tears.

Glancing at the time.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Unknowingly, he sat in front of the tombstones of his wife and children for hours.

After saying something to the tombstone, Chen Zhong finished packing his things and walked over.

Seeing that Chen Zhong was about to leave, Li Leping didn't stay where he was, but turned around and left first.

Here is the cemetery, there is no need to talk about the next itinerary here.

Walking all the way to the parking lot, standing next to the car driven by Chen Zhong, Li Leping turned around and looked at the figure walking quickly behind him.

"I'm sorry, Detective Li, I wasted too much time."

After a little hesitation, Chen Zhong scratched the back of his head and expressed his apology.

"It's okay, it's human nature." Li Leping said.

He didn't mind giving Chen Zhong more time to spend with his family, but even if he wanted to release his kindness, under the influence of the evil spirits, his every word was always accompanied by an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Even Chen Zhong couldn't help but feel trembling under this invisible oppression, and his mentality became cautious accordingly, and he was cautious in his behavior and dealing with things, for fear that he would offend Li Leping in front of him.

There is no way, in the eyes of living people, ghost masters like Li Leping are aliens, mysterious existences that are out of gregarious and beyond human understanding.

People will have a strong mentality in their hearts, and they will naturally be afraid of the strong.

Opening the car door, Li Leping sat in the co-pilot's seat and asked, "Where are you going to eat?"

Chen Zhong was silent for a few seconds, and then he said in an awkward tone: "I'm not very good at cooking, so it's okay to fool myself with my cooking skills, why don't we find a food stall for a meal?"

"Big stall?"

Although I went to a food stall for a New Year's Eve dinner, it felt a bit out of harmony.

However, Li Leping thought about it and felt that he could only go to this place.

Both of them are people with no elegant sentiments. They have never been to that kind of high-end restaurants, and they have neither seen nor been used to delicacies.

Besides, two men went to a high-end restaurant and ordered two steaks, plus a bottle of red wine, which set off the atmosphere, but the impression was too strange.

"Okay, you can arrange it."

With Li Leping's current physical condition, he no longer has much interest in eating and drinking, and now he is simply bored, so thinking of going out for a stroll, he took it as a daily patrol.

"Got it."

After Chen Zhong confirmed that Li Leping had no objections, he immediately started the engine and drove back to the city center.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the roads along the way are a little deserted. Although there are many red lanterns hanging on the street lamps and tree branches, which symbolize the festival, there are not many vehicles on the road, and even the number of pedestrians on the sidewalk has dropped sharply. many.

Many people who worked hard in the city returned to their hometowns to enjoy this rare festive atmosphere with their relatives.

Fortunately, although today is New Year's Eve, many food stalls are still open for business.

When I came to a food street, the vendors inside hadn't come out to set up stalls on a large scale. Only a few shops were open for business, and the shutter doors of the other shops were closed. There were not many people on the whole street, which seemed extremely deserted.

"There are quite few shops open." Chen Zhong sighed.

"For Chinese New Year, even if these shops are going to open, they will not open until after the New Year's Eve dinner and fireworks. That's a good time to make money." Li Leping thinks everything is normal.

Although the people who opened the shop these days must be to make money, it seems that there is no problem with taking a half-day break 360 days a year.

What's more, the time when they came was not the bustling time of this food street.

When people finish their New Year’s Eve dinner and want to go out to watch fireworks or hang out, it’s a good time for street vendors to make money.

However, as soon as Chen Zhong parked the car and entered the food street with Li Leping, he saw the proprietress of a food stall approaching enthusiastically and began to greet the guests.

"Hey, do you two handsome guys come in and sit down?"

Although the proprietress is over 30 years old, she is well maintained. Even in this place full of oily smoke, she can still be regarded as charming.

Also, how can a person who is not beautiful solicit customers?

Of course, it's serious soliciting, not the weird way of soliciting in hair salons.
