The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 288 Happy New Year
"Just this one."

Seeing that someone came to the door, Li Leping didn't bother to go any further.

Anyway, there were not many people here, and he liked the clean atmosphere very much.

When people come and go, he will feel uncomfortable.

"it is good."

Seeing Li Leping's initiative, Chen Zhong naturally would not refuse.

The two just made do and sat down.

"What does the handsome guy want?"

The proprietress walked over with a smile on her face, ignoring Li Leping beside her for a while, but focused on Chen Zhong, who had a good facial features.

There is no way, although Li Leping's appearance is excellent, but for his characteristic that cannot be remembered, no matter how handsome he is, he is nothing ordinary in the eyes of outsiders, and he may be ignored at any time .

After taking the menu, Chen Zhong glanced at it for a while, then handed it to Li Leping, and asked, "Li Xing..."

Chen Zhong, who was already used to this address, almost didn't change his words, and almost called out Li Leping's position.

As soon as the words Detective Li came out, I was afraid that the way the proprietress treated guests would change.

"Ahem... Li Leping, see what you want to order."

Fortunately, Chen Zhong gasped and changed his mind.

The proprietress looked puzzled and followed Chen Zhong's gaze.

Only then did she realize that there was actually a person sitting beside her, and she had no awareness of this person at all, and she had no impression of him at all.

"It seems that I brought in two guests just now?" She looked at the young man who suddenly appeared beside her in a daze.

Li Leping glanced at the menu, and said skillfully: "Two plates of fried noodles, two strings of bean curd, ten strings of fat beef, ten strings of mutton, and ten strings of pig penis and two bottles of white for this buddy."

As soon as he heard "this buddy", Chen Zhong's expression suddenly became bright.

"Li...Brother Li, you want to make me popular in the new year, so you can't kill me?"

He suddenly couldn't help crying.

"Hey, it's always good for the handsome guy to make up a little more."

While the proprietress agreed, she put her hands on Chen Zhong's solid and broad shoulders ambiguously.

It has to be said that Chen Zhong was born in the army after all. Although his face was full of vicissitudes left by the years and his complexion was a little darker, his figure has also been trained to be strong and powerful, his sitting posture is extremely correct, and his hands are habitual. Pressed firmly on his thigh, his whole body revealed a strong sense of security.

This kind of masculinity is definitely not comparable to Li Leping's kidney deficiency appearance.

However, looking at the hand on his shoulder, Chen Zhong immediately turned cold and shook it off.

Seeing this, the proprietress didn't want to make fun of herself, so she walked to the back kitchen with the menu.

Li Leping was not interested in this little episode, and just said: "For those who celebrate the New Year, you should make up for it, don't ruin your body like me."

There were not many guests, just Li Leping and Chen Zhong. Soon, the proprietress handed over two bottles of white wine, and then brought over two plates of fried noodles.

Putting down the plate, he gave Chen Zhong a complaining look before he left, as if he still cared about his incomprehensible style.

"Eat."

Li Leping picked up the chopsticks and ate the fried noodles.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

After taking two bites, Chen Zhong was snatched away, and his face instantly turned red, like a piece of hot pigskin.

"Damn, cough cough...that's how much pepper was put in." Chen Zhong shouted while coughing.

"You're a native of Dachuan, and you can't eat spicy food. I didn't expect that." Li Leping complained while pouring him a cup of tea.

"It's too spicy." Chen Zhong blushed and felt hot all over, so he quickly drank the tea in one gulp.

……

Not long after, all the dishes were served, and Chen Zhong also ate while drinking, and he didn't use a cup to drink, but directly blew on the bottle.

He had been suppressed for a long time, and at this moment all the negative emotions in his heart burst out along with his drunkenness.

Soon, after drinking two bottles of white, he felt his throat was hot, and his whole face was even redder like Guan Gong. He was holding a pig whip in his hand, and his upper body couldn't maintain the previous upright appearance. Shake up.

Looking at his funny dancing, it seems that he may sing an opera at any time.

"Lee...uh~~"

He hiccupped, looked at Li Leping in front of him, and said strangely: "How can you still be a clone?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and swayed from side to side, as if there were really many Li Leping in front of him.

"I don't know how to split, it's your eyes that are going to split."

Li Leping knew that Chen Zhong was a symptom of being drunk, and afterimages appeared in his eyes.

No matter how good a drinker is, he can't resist pouring down two bottles of white at once.

"Me? I can clone?" Chen Zhong asked in a daze.

The more prudish people are, the easier it is for them to become unprincipled when they touch alcohol, especially if they are drunk.

Because all kinds of negative emotions that have been suppressed in my heart finally found an outlet.

"Where's the wine? Why is there no wine?"

Chen Zhong took the empty wine bottle and poured it to his mouth a few times, only to find that there was not a single drop in it.

Suddenly, he slapped the wine bottle and shouted like a drunk: "Miss Boss, take two more white bottles!"

"Don't take it."

Li Leping waved his hand towards the proprietress, signaling that this man is out of his mind, so ignore him.

"Hiccup~~"

"Li Leping, do you think I'm drunk?"

In order to prove that he was not drunk, Chen Zhong straightened his upper body, pointed at Li Leping, and called him by his name.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to do this.

However, in the state of alcohol paralysis, he dared to say any nonsense.

"You're not drunk, I'm drunk." Li Leping said.

No one expected that the calm state of mind when dealing with supernatural events would now be used to deal with drunks.

"you're drunk?"

Chen Zhong's brain really started to lose its light.

He froze for a moment, as if short-circuited for a few seconds, and then really believed this statement, and then inexplicably made up a fallacy: "No wonder you can clone, can the ghost master still clone after drinking? "

"Maybe." Li Leping followed his words while eating the peanuts that went with the wine.

There was still a large plate of peanuts left, but the wine had already been emptied by Chen Zhong.

"Hiccup~~"

Chen Zhong hiccupped again, without talking about the subject, and immediately jumped from the wonderful topic of "clones" to another topic: "Actually... Actually, I haven't had time to say thank you to you."

"Tell me thank you?" Li Leping said.

"You saved me, you saved this city, you saved everyone in this city."

"But, but none of them can say thank you to you."

As he spoke, Chen Zhong supported the wine bottle with one hand and covered his forehead with the other, looking a little dejected, as if he was complaining for Li Leping.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care if anyone thanks you. In fact, you don't have to feel that you owe me anything. After all, when the incident first happened, I was thinking of escaping from Okawa City immediately."

Li Leping didn't shy away from the proprietress sitting not far away looking at her mobile phone.

She may also have felt powerless despair when the incident of borrowing ghosts broke out.

It's just that, like many citizens, she has forgotten that horrible experience.

Now, she only thinks that these two people are drunk and crazy, dreaming some kind of heroic dream, or telling lines from a certain movie.

How many people remember that this city once spent five days under the dark clouds of the ghosts.

And who would dare to believe that the stranger who tried his best to turn the tide and help the building to collapse is now sitting in this ordinary food stall, telling the thrilling secrets of the past one by one as if it had nothing to do with him.

"No, that's not right!"

Chen Zhong lowered his head, and just when Li Leping thought he was falling asleep, he suddenly slapped the table, with an excited expression, as if he wanted to avenge Li Leping: "No matter what you thought at that time, you You came back in the end, and you saved us all."

"We all owe you a life, but many people don't know that they owe you a life."

"Actually... hiccup~~"

The dignified atmosphere that had just been rendered was instantly extinguished by this belch.

But Chen Zhong still pointed to his heart: "I can feel that you are different from those heartless ghost masters."

"Oh? How many ghost masters have you come into contact with?" Li Leping wanted to hear what the drunk Chen Zhong had to say.

Some truths can only be spoken when drunk.

"Not many, but no matter whether you deny it or admit it, I only know that if it is the ghost masters of the circle of friends or other folk forces, as long as they have a chance to escape, they will definitely take the ghost with them. All the wealth that can be taken away, evacuated from Dachuan City."

"They won't think about taking a few more people away. After all, in their eyes, the value of boxes of gold and even banknotes is more precious than human life."

"Only you, you took those children and women away, then ran back, pressed that damn thing on the ground and rubbed it hard, and finally saved us all."

Li Leping was a little embarrassed by his praise, and shrugged.

"Look, I was right."

Chen Zhong grinned, showing his white teeth.

"This person has talked too much about VX, and his mind is not normal." Li Leping suddenly said to the proprietress not far away, and at the same time pointed to his head.

The proprietress nodded deeply.

Li finally understood why Chen Zhong couldn't come out to drink alone.

After drinking these two glasses of white wine, he could say anything.

Li Leping didn't intend to shut him up to keep a secret.

These days, when you go to the Internet to talk about haunted things, there will be a bunch of people saying that you don’t understand science under the comments, and then help you analyze it from a scientific point of view.

Or a group of chattering people talking about their weird experiences under the comments.

Anyway, unless it is really a ghost, even if some news is officially released now, the public still treats these news with the thinking of watching fun and ghost stories.

Who believes you?

"Li Leping."

Suddenly, Chen Zhong, who was hanging his head, raised his head again, looked at Li Leping with a pair of bewildered eyes, and asked, "Tell me, do we have a future?"

"us?"

Li Leping knocked and saw that the proprietress suddenly covered her mouth, with a look of surprise on her face, and immediately knew that this ambiguous sentence caused a misunderstanding.

"Just be taller, tell me, do human beings have a future?"

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Zhong was also talking crazily to the point of discussing the future.

The proprietress seemed to be relieved, but she felt a little regretful in her eyes, as if she had missed a wonderful show in her imagination.

It seems that compared to drinking gossip about the fate of all mankind, the proprietress still cares more about the bond between the two men.

"future?"

Li Leping was stunned for a moment, never thought that after Chen Zhong got drunk, his mind would jump off so much.

The future of mankind is not something he can decide.

Li Leping was silent, and really thought about this topic for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, he said: "Every generation has a mission for each generation. You and I can do it right now."

"I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, I won't be able to see the sun again tomorrow." Chen Zhong murmured at this time, as if he had a feeling in his heart.

He looked at the sun that was about to set not far away, and the sunset glow made the sky red.

Night is coming.

The endless night, the darkness where you can't see your fingers, and the lights in every house are like the glimmer of human beings struggling in the midst of desperate spirituality.

Li Leping raised his head slightly, looked at the setting sun, and said calmly: "Maybe, but even if we can't see the sun tomorrow, there will always be someone else who can see the sun tomorrow. Even if you die, I die, There will always be someone who will see a new light for us."

"The 80 billion people in this world will not perish so easily. The hurdles that human beings have been able to step through step by step have no reason to fall on the threshold of this era."

Chen Zhong's alcoholism was high, and he didn't know if he heard these words.

He just lay down on the table and said, "It's true, after being a liaison officer for a long time, there are too many things on my mind. I always think about what I have and what I don't have."

"I now understand why Tang Ziyi's liaison officer couldn't see a smile on his face, and always looked dignified."

"But in fact, there is such a saying in our army, which is quite suitable for a special person like you."

Li Leping said: "What are you talking about?"

"The process of being a soldier is actually full of waiting."

"Wait for what?"

"When there is no war, we wait for the war to come, and when the war comes, we wait for the day when the war ends."

"It sounds quite philosophical."

Chen Zhong, who had been lying on the table, suddenly stood up and proudly said, "Of course."

However, his strong state did not last long.

Immediately, he lay down again.

"hu~huhu~"

Heavy snoring sounded.

Now, he really fell asleep.

"Wait..."

Li Leping watched the sunset gradually being swallowed up by the darkness, and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, thoughtfully.

This sentence is quite in line with his status quo, and even the status quo of all ghost masters in this era.

They are all waiting, waiting for the supernatural event to come, and then deal with the supernatural event, and then find a way to steal new supernatural power in the supernatural event.

As for taking the initiative to attack, actively looking for the source of the supernatural?

They haven't reached that level yet.

"Even now, I am helpless in the face of many supernatural events."

Li Leping is well aware of this.

"The most important thing is that my upper limit seems to stop here with the limit of Forgotten Ghost."

He knows that he is now in an important bottleneck period that is difficult to break through.

"Wait a little longer, first confirm whether there is any problem with my memory from the 'future', and then accept the fourth delivery mission from the ghost photo studio."

He has planned everything.

"No matter what the future holds, I wish you a happy new year."

As he spoke, Li Leping touched the wine bottle that Chen Zhong was holding tightly with the cup of tea.

It's a pity that the sleepy Chen Zhong couldn't respond.
