The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

later.

The vibration of the satellite positioning mobile phone woke up Li Leping who had fallen into a deep sleep.

He didn't go back to the room, let alone lie down on the bed, but just enjoyed the cool breeze that came from time to time, and fell asleep leaning against the roof.

Opening his eyes, he found that the sky had gradually darkened.

The time has gone from two in the afternoon to six in the afternoon.

"Wang Xiaoming?"

Picking up the satellite phone, I saw this familiar name at a glance, but I didn't want to deal with it.

"whats the matter?"

After answering the phone, Li Leping's tone was lukewarm.

"I need to find you, the special car is already waiting outside your residence."

Wang Xiaoming's voice was still so flat.

Sometimes, Li Leping would doubt, who is the ghost master?
"Is something wrong? What's the matter? If you don't explain the matter clearly, I won't mess with this car. What if you sell me?"

Li Leping, who was on the roof, saw the special vehicles parked outside the door at a glance.

However, for Wang Xiaoming's "gracious invitation," of course he dare not accept it casually.

Wang Xiaoming's calculations are too shrewd, and he is also a person who does anything for the overall situation. In his heart, anyone can take advantage of him.

If you are not careful, you will have to count the money for him even if you are sold by him, or you may lose your life.

Li Leping wasn't afraid of death, he just didn't want to die unexplainably in order to complete a certain experiment of Wang Xiaoming.

"I just want you to come to the headquarters for a meeting. By the way, I will tell you something that you will definitely be interested in. As for the next action, whether you want to participate or not is up to you. I don't make any additional requests." Wang Xiaoming said.

His answer was also very shrewd, and he made it clear in advance where Li Leping might have scruples.

"Row."

It's okay to be idle, and Li Leping didn't refuse again.

No matter what Wang Xiaoming plans to do, as long as there is an opportunity to listen to information, Li Leping will certainly not miss it.

After boarding the special vehicle, after a period of time, the car came to the uninhabited mountainous area again, passed through military bases, and finally stopped in front of the headquarters building.

It wasn't the first time he came here, and this meeting seemed to be more confidential, so Li Leping didn't ask He Xueyan to lead him the way.

After getting out of the car, a person wearing a white coat who looked like Wang Xiaoming's assistant was already waiting here in advance.

After seeing the person in charge uniform Li Leping was wearing and the golden nameplate on the uniform, the assistant first stepped forward and bowed slightly: "It's the criminal police officer Li Leping, please follow me."

Li Leping just nodded, indicating that he can lead the way.

Came to the elevator, pressed the floor, and when the elevator door opened again, Wang Xiaoming stood outside the elevator with his hands behind his back, with a calm face, as if he had been waiting for Li Leping to arrive.

"Huh? Isn't it a meeting? Why are you here?"

Li Leping walked out of the elevator with strange eyes.

The assistant did not follow, but took the elevator back downstairs.

Li Leping stood in front of the elevator door, looking at Wang Xiaoming suspiciously.

It was the first time he saw Wang Xiaoming, a busy man, arrive early.

Not only did he arrive early, he even waited for him here in advance.

"It's a meeting, a small meeting. The whole plan is highly confidential, and whether the operation can be officially launched depends on whether you are willing to participate in this operation."

Wang Xiaoming raised Li Leping very high with one sentence.

And Li Leping obviously won't accept this kind of favor.

If there is nothing to be courteous about, the surname Wang probably has something troublesome to entrust to him.

And just when Li Leping was wondering whether to find a chance to escape.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming, who was leading the way, did not enter the conference room at the end of the aisle, but without a word of warning, suddenly turned and walked into a room next to him.

Walking into the room, I found that it was a luxuriously decorated and well-equipped room, similar to the lounge I had seen when I first came to the headquarters.

"What do you mean? Mysterious?"

Li Leping couldn't help frowning.

"Close the door."

Wang Xiaoming only said this.

"boom."

The door to the living room was closed.

"It can be said now."

Li Leping tilted his head slightly, and his expression was not very friendly.

He hated two kinds of people the most in his life.

The first type is self righteous people.

The second type is people who do not speak clearly.

"I've probably already conceived the candidates to participate in the plan to limit ghosts. In order to ensure a smooth operation, I've included you in it," Wang Xiaoming said.

"I can refuse, that's what you said." Li Leping was not surprised by Wang Xiaoming's thoughts.

His strength is sufficient, and it is normal to be selected.

But being selected does not mean that he will participate.

When ghosts, ghosts and ghosts collide, what will happen after that can no longer be speculated by the so-called "plot".

If he was accidentally affected, Li Leping would probably die in the entanglement of these two S-level ghosts.

"You can refuse, but don't rush to refuse."

Wang Xiaoming didn't say much, just took out a photo from his white coat.

photo?

After receiving the photo, Li Leping casually glanced at it, but didn't look too carefully.

After all, what Wang Xiaoming took out would definitely not be something normal.

Who knows if there will be any problems with these weird things after watching them for a long time?
Looking at it a little bit, this is a black and white photo. Just looking at the color and clarity is enough to know how far away this photo was taken.

The background of the shooting is a three-story rural house, with paper-pasted windows, mottled walls, wooden gates, and even grass growing beside the house, all of which show how old the house is. , and is already in an abandoned state of neglect.

The wooden door of the old house in the photo is open, and the interior is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers. It seems that all the light has disappeared, and it is full of indescribable weirdness.

What made Li Leping's expression sink the most was that there was a person standing in front of this old house, to be precise, in front of the open door.

This is a woman, a woman with her back to the camera.

The woman is wearing a cheongsam that was especially popular during the Republic of China, facing the dark house, and her feet in flat shoes are moving forward and backward, as if she is walking towards the dark house.

However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the woman's arms are hanging down unnaturally, as if her hands are weak. They just hang down on the sides of her body while walking, and her stiff fingers are kept spread out. There were also patches of corpse spots.

There was no doubt that the woman was dead.

This is a ghost.

This is a photo taken with a ghost.

However, Li Leping is not interested in taking pictures of ghosts.

Although the supernatural events have not been made public, the relevant photos have already been circulated on the Internet. Even ordinary people can find some similar horror photos as long as they are willing.

"You take this kind of photo..."

Li Leping just felt that Wang Xiaoming was a little baffled.

However, his words stuck in his throat in the next second, and he didn't say any more.

If you take a closer look, you can see that the head of the woman in the photo, or the ghost, is not completely looking forward, but slightly turned backwards.

When the shutter was pressed, the woman in the photo happened to be looking back at the camera as well.

It seemed that when she was about to enter the room, she noticed some movement behind her, or noticed someone standing behind her, so she turned her head.

Therefore, such a photo was left by chance.

But the timing of the photo was very tricky. If you didn't observe it attentively, you wouldn't even be able to see the woman turning her head.

And looking at this woman who turned her head slightly, showing only a little profile, Li Leping couldn't help being shocked.

Because the profile of the woman in the photo is indescribable.

When a person turns his head, even if he can't see the whole person's appearance, he can roughly see part of the person's appearance, such as eyes and nose.

Not so with the woman in the photo.

This is a woman whose appearance cannot be described.

The woman turned her stiff neck slightly, and the side face covered by long hair seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making the woman's face in the photo blurry, and only the outline of one face could be seen clearly.

Other than that, none of the facial features could be discerned.

This is not because of the age of shooting, so it is trapped by the technology of shooting, nor is it caused by damage to the photos.

"This is the supernatural influence of the Forgotten Ghost...is that woman named Chen Mengyao?"

Looking at the woman walking towards the house, Li Leping immediately recognized the identity of this person.

The old lady in Mingyue District 301 once mentioned to him the previous driver of the Forgotten Ghost.

A woman named Chen Mengyao.

"You can't be wrong, it's her."

Although Li Leping couldn't identify the woman's identity through her appearance, the fuzzy feeling on this face was too familiar for him to admit her mistake.

This kind of vague feeling is not the feeling that after the face is removed by the newspaper, the whole face becomes smooth and round, like a marinated egg, but a feeling that clearly exists, but can never be recorded by any tool weird feeling.

"Where did this photo come from?"

Li Leping's voice was a little cold.

More or less, he is following in the footsteps of the previous Forgotten Ghost driver.

Because he wanted to know what happened to that woman named Chen Mengyao, and why at such a young but powerful age, she broke up the spirit of the Forgotten Ghost, causing the Forgotten Ghost to become the incomplete person it is today. appearance.

The most important thing is, where are the dismembered ghosts, especially the ghosts that belonged to the forgotten ghosts, now?
But now, Wang Xiaoming seems to have some information about Chen Mengyao.

Looking at Li Leping whose expression seemed to be touched, Wang Xiaoming was not surprised.

As a first-line scientist in the study of supernatural beings, Wang Xiaoming has naturally done many experiments on ghost masters, and at the same time he has drawn many conclusions. Although these conclusions are not of epoch-making significance, they are still a kind of experience talk.

Although ghost masters are in a state of lack of emotion due to the erosion of ghosts, they will still show some emotions when their emotions go to extremes.

This is actually the difference between humans and ghosts. Humans behave like humans and express human emotions.

But ghosts can't, ghosts can only act according to the rules, even if the entanglement between ghosts and humans becomes longer and longer, and when the boundary between humans and ghosts begins to blur, this principle will not change.

Like Li Leping right now, his brows are tightly wrinkled, his eyes are full of thoughts, and he looks a little confused, which is enough to show that his attention has been deeply attracted by the photos.

"It seems that Mr. Qin is right, you are indeed interested in this photo." Wang Xiaoming also looked at this black and white photo.

It's just that he and Li Leping have unequal information. As far as the photo is concerned, it is of course impossible for him to know who the woman in this photo is.

"Old Qin?"

After hearing this title, Li Leping couldn't help being stunned.

But immediately, he felt that this was normal.

"It's normal for the old man who lived to this day during the Republic of China to know so much." He thought to himself.

Sure enough, that old guy just pretended to ignore everything on the surface, but secretly managed everything and secretly influenced the development of the situation.

"So, what do you mean?" Li Leping asked.

It is impossible for Mr. Qin to give this photo to Wang Xiaoming for no reason.

"Don't ask me about this photo, I'm just a messenger."

Wang Xiaoming also couldn't see through the thoughts of that mysterious old man, but he would not be persistent in this aspect either.

After all, it was enough for him to know that Qin Lao was a ghost master on the side of humans.

"Well, I know you are sending a message, but can you speak clearly quickly, or I will die here, or I will hit you on the head now." Li Leping said.

Wang Xiaoming said at this time: "Mr. Qin only told me where this photo was taken."

"Filming locations?"

"Huanggang Village."

Wang Xiaoming put his hands behind his back, lowered his voice, and only said these three words.

"Huanggang Village?!"

Hearing this place name, Li Leping squeezed the hand in the photo, and couldn't help but a little bit stronger. Looking at the old house in the photo, and the woman who turned her face slightly, there was a little disbelief in her eyes.

Why, why was the photo taken there?
He had an impression of that place.

In a village that appeared out of nowhere, there was a coffin that gave birth to ghosts in the mourning hall.

Ghost messengers, ghost arresters, black and white portraits, black and white photos...

What is the connection between all of this?
"The house in the photo should be a certain farm house in Huanggang Village. I have done some research on ghost coffins, but there are still many things I don't know about the reason why Huanggang Village exists."

Wang Xiaoming helped analyze and said: "The existence of Huanggang Village itself is a mystery, but according to what Mr. Qin said, maybe this place in the photo is an opportunity for you."

"Now I know why you took out this photo." Li Leping's voice was a little heavy.

This photo may not mean anything to others.

But for Li Leping, this is an opportunity to dig out the truth.

And that opportunity seemed to come only once, and it seemed imminent.

Because if there is no accident, Wang Xiaoming's plan to draw ghosts into paintings will be approved and then implemented.

At that time, the ghost painting with strong ghost domain ability will take away the ghost messenger, and at the same time, Huanggang Village, that is, the place that has a close relationship with the ghost messenger, will be trapped in the ghost painting together.
