The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World
Chapter 326 Huanggang Village
Chapter 326 Huanggang Village
Dajing City.
Three o'clock in the morning, in the outskirts of the city.
The place within ten kilometers here has already been blocked, and the towns and villages along the way have also been evacuated.
This place seems to have become a restricted area for living people, because soon there will be a ghost code-named Guicha approaching.
And tonight, the detention operation against ghost messengers has begun.
There are not many people in charge of this operation, including Li Leping, there are only five people in total.
Although there are not many people, these five people are the elites among the elites gathered from all over the country. They are the elites who are ahead of other ghost masters after eliminating batches of ghost masters.
Now, Li Leping brought Gu Li, Su Fan, and Ah Hong to gradually approach the suburbs.
The surrounding atmosphere is very depressing, there is dead silence nearby, not even a single insect chirp, only the occasional "rustling" sound when the cold wind blows through the treetops.
The treetops swayed in the cold wind, like weird and dark palms. The cold wind carried an inexplicable coldness and a faint smell of rancidity, as if there were a pile of dead bodies in the darkness ahead.
"It's almost there." Gu Li said.
Although there are no street lights along the way, the drones hovering overhead illuminate the destination.
It was a darkness that even the lights could not penetrate. The ghost domain, which was as black as ink and shaped like a black coffin, was floating not far away, and it was still slowly approaching everyone.
"We are approaching it, and it is also approaching us, don't go any further, wait for Liu San to attract the ghost painting."
Li Leping stopped.
Liu San had already boarded the plane and went to the designated place to attract ghost paintings.
Of course, Li Leping would not go deep into the ghost town of ghost messengers before the ghost painting came.
That ghost has been put into the coffin three times in a row, and now it has grown horribly. If relying on the blessing of its own number, it can temporarily avoid being targeted, then, facing the infinite restart and copying ability, Li Leping has no choice up.
There are too many, even the strongest ghost masters will be heaped to death by such a number.
This is why the headquarters is so eager to solve the ghost problem.
Once the ghost field enters the city, it doesn't take much time for the ghost chasing with infinite replication ability to destroy a city.
Not to mention that the cities involved also include Dajing City.
Right now, the few people have no unnecessary communication, and no one wants to talk now, they just want to stand quietly on this dim dirt road, waiting for news from Liu San.
"coming."
Suddenly, Su Fan, who was squatting on the ground playing with his mobile phone, spoke.
"Li Leping, Liu San has succeeded, and he is bringing ghost paintings to your side."
At the same time, He Xueyan's voice came from the satellite positioning mobile phone.
Not only him, Gu Li and Ah Hong's operators also received news.
"Okay, I see." Li Leping said with a serious face.
Everything went smoothly according to the plan, Liu San successfully lured the ghost and was moving here.
But this is only the first step. What will happen next between the ghost painting and the ghost difference, and what kind of unknown changes will occur, will only be known after the collision.
According to Wang Xiaoming's deduction, after the two S-level supernatural events collide with each other, there is a high probability that one of them can be resolved.
However, he didn't say it so absolutely. Since it was resolved with a high probability, it meant that there was still a small probability that two incidents would go out of control at the same time.
The risk is great, but Li Leping still has no objection.
Because objections are useless unless he can find a better solution.
Besides, he also needs a chance, a chance for the ghost to be suppressed.
Only after the ghost messenger was suppressed did he plan to search for traces of Huanggang Village, and then go deep into it to find the three-story farm house in Huanggang Village in the photo.
"As for the escape plan, it is probably unrealistic to expect Gu Li to take us out. Even if his ghost light is not like Yang Jian's ghost eyes, he will close his eyes and become a blind ghost when he touches a ghost painting, but the ghost The strength of the ghost domain of the painting itself is still too high, and it is unlikely to be torn apart by the fifth layer of ghost domain."
"In the end, we still have to count on this thing."
Thinking of this, Li Leping touched the position on his chest, which was a little raised, and the most important retreat tool for this operation was stored inside.
A doorknob smeared with red paint.
Before the action, he had already checked with Wang Xiaoming.
At the right time, open the right door, and they can leave that unknown ghost place through the door handle.
"Time is not enough, we must act as soon as possible to find the three-story building."
Thinking of this, Li Leping looked back at Su Fan who was still squatting on the ground playing with his mobile phone, and Ah Hong who was wearing unnaturally heavy makeup.
"Wang Xiaoming said that there are three other people besides me who know the real purpose of the plan, and I have four team members, which means that there is one person who doesn't know the real purpose of the plan."
After thinking for a while.
Suddenly.
"Here we come." Gu Li, who was most sensitive to Huang Quan's reaction, immediately reminded.
In the sky, wisps of gray things floated down, like snowflakes blooming in spring.
The silent surroundings also began to become gray, and lost their original color in the wisps of gray, as if being filled with a dense gray fog, the atmosphere in the air became more and more gloomy and cold, even a little choking. nose.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding darkness was replaced by this gray feeling, and amazing changes occurred in all visible places.
The surrounding colors seemed to be stripped away, losing their original brilliance, even the yellow-black soil and green weeds under their feet were replaced by gray.
"Is this... paper ashes?"
Gu Li stretched out his white palm and actively touched a wisp of something floating down.
Something unbelievable happened.
When he caught the falling thing, he just squeezed it lightly with his slender fingers, and the strand of gray turned into powder, leaving a discordant gray area on his palm.
"It's like the ashes floating in the air after burning paper money." Li Leping looked at the paper ashes falling in his palm.
After analyzing this point, he looked at Gu Li and the others: "The ghost domain of Guihua has arrived, and the collision with Guichai is about to begin, so get ready."
While speaking, more and more ashes were falling from the sky, like snowflakes falling down, staining everything around them with ashes.
The world that has lost its color, and the endless ashes that seem to be floating forever, seem to reveal an aura of despair like the end of the world.
"There is no situation yet."
Su Fan, who was playing with his mobile phone, didn't stop what he was doing. He saw No.1 on his mobile phone screen saying that the game was still going on normally, but the background of the game had changed, and the world in the game began to become darker. It was as if a weird baptism of ashes was going on there too.
"By the way, since Liu San has already attracted Gui Hua, what about others?" Ah Hong, who was wearing heavy makeup and a strangely bright blush on her face, asked doubtfully.
"No hurry, wait a little longer." Li Leping said calmly.
Liu San didn't die that easily. Li Leping had witnessed how weird that guy's paper doll ability was.
"Clap!"
And right now.
In the gray sky, besides the ashes that kept falling down, another figure suddenly fell.
The man fell heavily on the ground, and immediately became torn apart and shattered beyond recognition.
"Liu San?!" Gu Li was startled.
Although this person was smashed to pieces, but looking at the sallow skin and the broken face, one can still identify this person as Liu San.
"No, you can't say it's Liu San, it seems like it's just a paper figurine."
Ah Hong was a bold person with high skills, and walked over to check the paper figurine.
After getting close, if you take a closer look, you will find that it is just a paper man made of yellow paper, but the craftsmanship is so good that people can confuse it with a real person.
"It's really thrilling. Wang Xiaoming's calculations are accurate. I almost fell with the plane."
But at this moment, a gloomy voice came out from the broken paper figurine.
Immediately afterwards, a yellowed palm stretched out from inside.
With his palms on the ground, another paper figurine crawled out of the broken paper figurine.
Another Liu San with sallow complexion and free movement appeared.
The new Liu San came out, looked at Li Leping and said, "Be careful, the ghost domain of Ghost Painting is even weirder than we imagined. I somehow broke a paper figurine, and I didn't even stop Ghost Painting's attack. Down."
Liu San glanced at the paper figurine that was crushed on the ground.
The paper figurine opened its eyes wide, as if it still carried the unwillingness before death.
"Where is the source of the ghost painting?" Li Leping asked.
"It crashed over there with the plane. Although the plane is gone, Ghost Painting will definitely be fine."
Liu San pointed to the woods in another direction.
"Okay, I see." Li Leping raised his head and looked at the ashes falling from his head.
The amount of ashes falling has become more and more alarming, as if to occupy this area and turn this area into gray.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to go."
Apparently, ghost paintings have already covered this area, and have even begun to confront Ghost Chai's ghost domain.
Now is the best time to enter the Ghost Realm.
Speaking of this, Li Leping looked at Liu San with weird eyes and said, "You probably just sent a paper man to fool me, right?"
In a word, the expressions of Gu Li and the others changed in an instant, and the eyes they looked at Liu San were full of scrutiny.
They really didn't think about this question just now.
Feeling that the surrounding eyes gradually became unfriendly, Liu San's sallow face showed a hint of surprise, and hurriedly said: "Are you kidding me, am I that kind of person?"
"evidence."
Li Leping obviously didn't believe Liu San's verbal defense, and only believed that seeing is believing.
"Ugh."
After a moment of silence, Liu San let out a helpless sigh.
Then, he took out a golden knife and cut his finger.
Thick, blackened blood flowed out, which seemed to prove that there was something else in his body.
"That's okay." Liu San said.
The relationship between him and Li Leping is not bad. The most important thing is that Li Leping also knows the existence of the old corpse, so he can use this method to prove his identity without tearing off his layers in front of everyone. The paper face reveals the real human leather face representing "Liu San".
Li Leping looked at the blackened blood flowing out of the inside of the paper figurine, and nodded slightly.
"It looks like you've got that thing done?" He recalled what happened at the bottom of the Lingjiang River.
Paper dolls don't bleed.
But that old corpse is not necessarily the case.
Liu San glanced at Gu Li and the others, then walked to Li Leping's side, and whispered: "Yes, but it's still a bit tricky, don't look at me as a paper doll, in fact I wrapped dozens of paper dolls outside , it can be said that he went bankrupt just to get that thing done."
"No wonder you didn't let a bunch of paper figurines follow you this time like before." Li Leping was thoughtful, and seemed to understand why the paper figurines died instead.
Because Liu San's body was surrounded by many paper figurines, it was definitely not Liu San's body that was attacked first, but the paper figurines wrapped around his body.
"That's the truth, but although I used the best-made paper dolls to restrict that ghost, I actually kept some paper dolls with poor workmanship in Dajing City, just in case the satellite phone is in the ghost domain. It's not easy to use." Liu San said.
"Okay, let's go." Li Leping nodded, and then looked at the gray sky in the distance.
The gray area is no longer limited to himself or the place where the plane crashed, but also covers the location where the ghost is located.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, Gu Li pointed to a place.
"Huh?" Several people looked over, their pupils shrank suddenly.
That is the area close to the black coffin ghost land formed by ghosts.
However, at this moment, the darkness condensed there was covered by a layer of gray color.
And in that gray, smoggy world, some strange scenes appeared vaguely.
It looks like the outline of high-rise buildings, like modern houses of different heights.
"Illusions in the ghost domain?" Liu San proposed this idea.
"Not necessarily." Li Leping said, "Although the files of ghost paintings have been deliberately concealed by foreign countries, it is certain that ghost paintings have caused a lot of trouble abroad, at least covering an entire city."
"So you suspect that this city is... the city covered in ghost paintings?" Liu San's voice trembled.
He has seen the ghost domain, and as far as he can judge, everything in the ghost domain revolves around ghosts.
In other words, in the ghost domain, ghosts have an absolute advantage in the field.
But if it is a ghost domain that can reproduce an entire city, doesn't that mean that ghost paintings can have an advantage within the scope of an entire city?
Li Leping's analysis seems a little unrealistic. After all, according to the existing intelligence knowledge, even if the ghost domain can cover an entire city, it does not mean that the ghost domain has the ability to affect the entire city.
Just like the ghost domain of borrowed ghosts and starving ghosts, although it covers the entire city, the actual range that can be affected is only a few kilometers. It is just the characteristics of haze and clouds, which lead to a similar spread in the ghost domain. sign.
However, diffusion is diffusion. In terms of actual influence ability, whether it is the black haze of starved ghosts or the ghost clouds borrowed from ghosts, it is impossible to completely affect the entire city.
But what is the outline of the city floating in the gray world in front of me, this thing that exists in the ghost painting ghost domain?
Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at a certain person in the team: "Su Fan, will there be any problems if you continue walking?"
He did not choose to act immediately, but instead chose to ask Su Fan, who had the ability to predict, in the team.
Although Su Fan's predictive ability was not as specific as Xiong Wenwen's, Li Leping was more willing to choose Su Fan as his teammate than that brat who was difficult to get along with and prone to mental breakdown.
Perhaps it was also based on this that Wang Xiaoming chose to include Su Fan in the candidates, thus giving up Xiong Wenwen, who had better predictive ability.
Primary school students are prone to problems when faced with the collision of two S-level incidents, especially after feeling a strange scene erupting around them.
Su Fan didn't answer right away, but was still playing with his phone with his head down, as if he was addicted to the game and couldn't help himself.
And on his mobile phone, a very crude, even rough game was running.
This is a game with the No.1 screen. The background of the game is a gray world. Su Fan taps the screen to control the protagonist's walking route.
At this moment, the protagonist of the game was walking along the dirt road in front of him under Su Fan's control.
Although it was dark all around, everything seemed to be normal.
"No problem, at least for the time being. You can go all the way." Seeing that the protagonist of the game was safe and sound, Su Fan replied.
"Okay, let's go." After being confirmed, Li Leping took the lead in walking in front of the team.
In the gray world, under the rendering of color, the monotonous color makes everything around it so depressing.
However, Li Leping did not stop in this dull atmosphere, but led Liu San and others quickly approaching the direction of Guichai Huangyu.
"Li Leping, do you feel that the ghost town of Guicha has disappeared?" Suddenly, Gu Li said.
Looking further away, the black ghost domain of Guichai, which looks like a huge coffin, has disappeared. There is only a layer of gray haze filling the sky, covering everyone's sight.
"The ghost domains of the two ghosts have already collided, and the ghost messenger is likely to be suppressed."
While speaking, Li Leping still did not stop.
"Huh?" Just when Gu Li was about to discuss the situation with Li Leping again, he suddenly let out an exclamation.
Li Leping also stopped, looking forward with some seriousness.
"what happened?"
Liu San and Ah Hong from behind came up.
"There are dirt roads here, how could there be an asphalt road suddenly?"
Gu Li pointed to the front, not far away, a dirt road that had not been repaired stretched all the way, but somewhere, the dirt road seemed to be cut off by an asphalt road that suddenly appeared.
The dirt road was replaced by a winding asphalt road, and this asphalt road spread all the way forward, spreading to a dark place.
In the dark, you can see the trees on both sides of the road, but the dense trees are extremely strange, like rows of impenetrable walls that have been deliberately arranged, and just looking at the outlines of these trees in the dark, It seems that these trees are all copy-pasted from a certain tree.
"An unpredictable change..." Li Leping didn't move forward, but turned around and looked at Su Fan again.
"Wait for Su Fan's news, and Gu Li, try to use the ghost domain to see if your ghost domain will be restricted."
He needs new information.
Huangquan is a world of ghosts, and after two ghost worlds collide, anything is possible and any changes are happening.
Li Leping didn't intend to rush forward at such a time, after all, there was a ghost master with predictive ability in the team, so there was no need to think about going forward at such a time.
Gu Li and Su Fan did not reply, and immediately started a new round of action.
Gu Li stretched out that white hand, and a bright ball exuding white light appeared in his hand like this.
However, the ghost light, which is usually enough to illuminate the surrounding tens of meters, and even enough to make the dazzling light visible for miles around, can barely illuminate the range of a few meters at this moment.
The paper dust falling from the sky seems to suppress the continuous release of light.
"The strength of the ghost domain in Ghost Painting is much higher than I imagined. There will be a lot of restrictions on using the ghost domain in it."
"If it's really dangerous, if I fight hard, I should be able to expand the ghost domain to a few tens of meters, but this is the limit. Even if I compress the ghost domain into a line, I can't do it like I did in the experimental base before. I fished you out." Gu Li said in embarrassment.
"At least it will be much brighter, and I won't be stolen by ghosts." Liu San comforted me bitterly.
And when Liu Sanhe was communicating with Gu Li.
There was a new change in the game screen in Su Fan's hand.
He controls the protagonist of the game, walking on this dark road.
At the same time, a dangerous message appeared on the corner of the phone screen.
Danger around.
Danger is approaching, but from which direction it is not known.
And at this time.
A notification suddenly popped up on the phone screen.
Su Fan used a prop: a torch.
Who would have thought that the name of the protagonist in this game is exactly the same as Su Fan in reality.
Obviously, this is not a coincidence. The protagonist in the game is actually the future Su Fan to some extent.
And at this time.
Su Fan in the game stopped, took out his lighter, and prepared to light the torch.
However, the moment Su Fan stopped, everything around him was filled with darkness, and then the game screen went dark for an instant.
You are dead.
Four large red characters appeared in the center of the screen.
"It's dangerous to go on, but you can avoid it with a torch."
Su Fan frowned, put down the phone and said.
There have been more than one or two occasions when there was no sign of death in the game. Although the crude game and the content of the game almost drove Su Fan crazy, he can also be sure that the game To some extent, it is linked to reality, and will give a warning of danger at the corresponding time.
"Torch?" Liu San was taken aback for a moment.
"Where can I find a torch in the wilderness? I'm going to cut down a tree now, can I make one for you?"
As Gu Li said, he even took out an old scythe from his backpack.
"Huh? Where did you get this thing?" Li Leping said in surprise.
This scythe looked familiar, it was the one that Wang Xiaoming lent him temporarily at the experimental base.
But it came back later.
"This sickle?" Gu Li didn't hide anything, "Wang Xiaoming said he gave it to me as a birthday present, even though it's not my birthday these days."
Su Fan didn't join the topic about the scythe, but glanced at Liu San and Gu Li, and then said with a serious face: "The torch doesn't necessarily refer to the torch itself, but a reminder that there is a huge danger on this road Yes, once the danger comes, someone will definitely die, and the way to prevent it is to find the item represented by the torch, so as to avoid the danger."
"So that's how it is." Gu Li and the two understood.
Li Leping took out a red ghost candle from his arms: "So, this thing represents a torch?"
He also seemed to have figured out some key points in Su Fan's game.
The torch is just a symbol, but it does not refer to the torch itself.
How to avoid the arrival of danger is the key.
"Ghost candle, you actually have this thing?" Su Fan looked at the bright red candle, his eyes moved slightly.
"It's not important, you just need to tell me whether my guess is right or not." Li Leping said.
"It should be true. The so-called picked up items in the game are actually very likely to be items that one of us originally carried. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that we will indeed pick up a certain key item along the way." Su Fan said.
"Okay." With that said, Li Leping lit the ghost candle in his hand.
For this operation, he also took out all the things at the bottom of the box.
A surrogate doll and the ghost candles accumulated before.
With the igniting of the ghost candle, the green candlelight instantly illuminates the surrounding darkness.
The candlelight flickered, and the ashes falling from the sky seemed to avoid the place shrouded in candlelight.
"Let's go." Li Leping said.
There is only one way to the ghost town, and they have no choice unless they dare to walk through the weird woods.
With the protection of the ghost candle, everyone walked on the asphalt road, and their hearts were a little more at ease.
After all, just now, Su Fan said that if he broke into this asphalt road directly, it would definitely be damaged.
Now with this ghost candle, the gloom and weirdness around him seemed to be dispelled.
"The burning speed is a bit abnormal, speed up." Li Leping frowned at this moment.
It's not that he hasn't used ghost candles before. He remembers that when he was in the ghost area, he once used the experimental version of ghost candles to fight sleepwalking ghosts.
Li Leping always felt that the experimental ghost candle Wang Xiaoming gave him at that time was a bit rubbish, after all, it was exhausted by the sleepwalking ghost.
He didn't ask Wang Xiaoming specifically, but the consumption speed of the ghost candle when fighting against borrowing ghosts after passing it seems to be enough to prove his conjecture.
Compared with the original version, Ghost Candle's resistance has been significantly strengthened.
But this should be caused by sacrificing output and enhancing quality.
However, as time goes by, the production quantity of ghost candles in Wang Xiaoming's hands should not be much worse.
After getting familiar with the production process and production process, the production capacity will naturally increase.
However, at this moment, the burning speed of the ghost candle is obviously a bit too fast. Even if there is no sign of the "puff, puff" of the flames before, the current burning speed is still very abnormal.
"If there are no ghosts around, it is not a problem for a ghost candle to burn for an hour, but judging from the current signs, the ghost candle can last for 5 minutes at most." Li Leping estimated.
"Is it because of the ashes falling from the sky that the ghost candle is affected by the ghost painting, or is it because there are already ghosts around us, but the ghosts haven't shown up yet?"
Thinking of this, Li Leping couldn't help but glance at the gloomy forest around him.
There is a place where candlelight cannot illuminate, and there is a dead silence in the woods. No one knows if there is something hidden behind the thick trees.
Not daring to delay, Li Leping took the ghost candle and accelerated the pace of progress.
Everyone also noticed this, and immediately followed his speed and accelerated forward.
"what is this?"
Suddenly, Li Leping stopped again.
He really wanted to move on, but after a certain distance, he found that the asphalt road under his feet had a fork in front of him.
A road suddenly has many forks, and at the end of the fork, you can see the abandoned old houses, the outlines of old buildings, and the cemetery leading to the graves, and even some roads At the end, I stopped pretending, and some shaking figures appeared directly...
"No matter how much, go forward."
Without hesitating for too long, Li Leping looked at the location on the satellite phone screen, and then chose not to take these side roads, but chose to continue forward.
These fork roads are likely to be the traces of the ghost paintings gradually suppressing the ghosts, and these fork roads may lead to the exits left by the ghost paintings.
But Li Leping obviously would not take these exits.
He is going to where the ghost messenger is.
In the ghost painting, although the world of the ghost domain actually exists, the area illuminated by the ghost candle is the real location in reality.
It cannot be said that these fork roads are fake, it can only be said that their function is to mislead the people who enter this area, make them get lost in this area, and even stray into more terrifying and unknown places.
Holding a ghost candle, illuminate the road ahead, and move forward according to the positioning.
"arrive."
At this moment, Li Leping finally stopped.
Because in front of him, in the darkness beyond the reach of light, a small village emerged.
There was a sign a few meters in front of him.
Huanggang Village.
There are only these three words written on the sign.
"Huanggang Village? Why did this place appear again?" Ah Hong asked with some horror.
Gu Li, Liu San, and Su Fan also frowned, staring at the sign that said Huanggang Village.
The source of the S-level supernatural event code-named ghost messenger came from the ghost coffin, and the place where the ghost coffin appeared was a place called Huanggang Village on the outskirts of Dachang City.
"Why did Huanggang Village appear here?!" Gu Li couldn't believe it.
After the collision of two supernatural events, something terrible and unexplainable has happened.
If Huanggang Village is here, where did the ghost messenger go?
Before the action, everyone had read the files about Huanggang Village, so they naturally understood what this village called Huanggang Village meant.
That was the place where the ghost messenger walked out of the coffin for the first time. The most depressing thing is that according to Feng Quan's report and the files compiled by the headquarters later, it can be confirmed that the entire Huanggang Village, including every plant and tree in the village, are all ghosts. bad part.
In the beginning, the reason for the despair of the ghost messengers is that the ghost messengers will keep restarting and become new villagers, and keep coming back.
Because of this, the current Gu Li and others are stationed outside Huanggang Village.
Because no one knows what the appearance of Huanggang Village represents.
Has Guicha been suppressed, or has it grown stronger?
Otherwise, why would Huanggang Village reappear in this place?
"There seems to be something wrong with the plan, Li Leping, what should I do? Come up with an idea."
On the contrary, there was a weird smile on Liu San's face. The smile was a bit ferocious, it seemed to be a forced smile when he felt danger, and the yellow paper on his face was wrinkled.
"Don't panic, we haven't been attacked by ghosts yet, don't scare yourself." Li Leping said with a calm face, and then looked at Su Fan again.
Su Fan also put down his phone at this time and said: "It's unrealistic to turn around and leave. My first attempt in the game was to retreat, but it failed. Whether the characters in the game retreat or stay in place, they will Death, only survived for a while after entering Huanggang Village."
"How sure are you of the reliability of your game?" Liu San asked.
Su Fan said: "I'm not sure, it's the ghost who made the prediction, not me, and the prediction was made under the collision of two S-level ghosts."
"Damn it, isn't that all the roads are blocked..." Liu San slapped his palm with a fist.
Li Leping didn't panic, and analyzed all the information at this moment: "Turning around and leaving may be the most dangerous choice."
"Now the collision between Guicha and Guihua has begun. Regardless of whether Guihua or Guicha wins in the end, the spiritual entanglement that occurs in the collision will definitely start from the outside at first, so if we step back now, the five of us are likely to collide with each other. This spiritual confrontation and then dying in this entanglement may also be the reason why Su Fan predicted that we would die if we stayed where we were, because after staying outside the village for a long time, the suppression of ghost paintings will gradually penetrate here, At that time, we will also be swept away by the supernatural confrontation between the two ghosts, and then die inside."
"So, you plan to enter the village?" Gu Li said.
"Huanggang Village is the original appearance of the ghost messenger incident. The appearance of Huanggang Village may mean that the ghost messenger was indeed suppressed by the ghost painting, so Huanggang Village reappeared, because the ghost messenger has returned to the original stage, and the ghost coffin is in it again. You took it out at the experimental base, so... wait a minute."
Suddenly, Li Leping who looked at Gu Li seemed to think of something.
"What's wrong?" Gu Li was a little confused.
"That's why Wang Xiaoming asked you to take out the ghost coffin at that time, because he had already thought of the follow-up plan to fight against ghosts and ghosts."
"Let you take out the ghost coffin, and then the ghost messenger will lose the ghost coffin, and will not be able to recover under the suppression of the ghost painting, because the puzzle has been taken away."
Li Leping's eyelids twitched and he suddenly thought of this.
Hearing this, Gu Li was also surprised.
He thought that Wang Xiaoming was obsessed with ghost coffins, but he didn't expect that there was such a factor.
"This guy, has he even reached this level? Then his plan to use the ghost painting to imprison the ghost messenger has already been considered. As for the conversation with the human skin paper, the main content may be to confirm Wei Jing Fish out his whereabouts." Li Leping thought about this part in his heart.
Liu San said: "That is to say, the appearance of Huanggang Village is actually expected? It means that there is a turning point, and there is a possibility that ghosts will be suppressed?" Maybe turning around and leaving is the most dangerous choice, because Now the collision between ghosts and ghost paintings has begun.
After pondering for a while, Li Leping said: "There is a possibility. I participated in the ghost incident at the experimental base. At that time, the ghost has grown to the point that it can be replicated in the restart, but now we have no encounters from The attack of the ghost messenger means that the ghost messenger has been suppressed, so it cannot be restarted and replicated like before."
"Then what are you waiting for, go directly to the village and get rid of the suppressed ghost messenger. Since it is suppressed, it shouldn't be able to restart. Let's go straight to the end, and at worst die there." Liu San said, taking out the Body bags made of gold.
There is only one chance, if turning around and running away is not feasible, then the only option is to confront him head-on.
Although the ghost missions were not completely suppressed as planned, but if they were faced with the ghost missions in the initial stage, then everyone still had the confidence to solve them.
"Then act." Li Leping said.
Gu Li and the others also nodded slightly.
Things have developed to such a point, if you can't escape, you can only bite the bullet and go up.
Immediately.
After blowing out the ghost candle that was about to burn out, Gu Li tacitly held the ghost light, took over the flame of the ghost candle, and illuminated the surrounding situation.
The five people passed the sign with the words "Huanggang Village" and walked towards the dimly shrouded Huanggang Village.
Along the road into the village, with Gu Li holding it in his hand, like the white light of a huge light bulb, everyone looked at this small village.
The village was extraordinarily quiet, and the road farther away was silent in a strange darkness, unable to be illuminated by light.
"It's not quite right..." Gu Li's tone was a little low, as if he had discovered something.
"How to say?" Liu San said.
"I have read the archives of Huanggang Village. I remember that the description of Huanggang Village in the archives is half-new and half-old. The houses in the front are all newly built rural self-built houses, like small villas, with several floors. , and the houses along the road are the old adobe houses and wooden houses.”
"But if you look at this village now, when you walk in, you can see all the old houses, all brick houses and wooden houses. There are no self-built houses made of reinforced concrete."
Before entering the village, Gu Li revealed this somewhat horrifying change.
Extending from the road all the way, there are some old farm houses, some of which seem to have been abandoned for a long time, with broken windows, mottled walls, half-open doors, and the inside is dark, with an inexplicable gloomyness.
"Something went wrong. This might not be us, or it might be the Huanggang Village that Yang Jian experienced."
Li Leping summed up this frightening fact.
"No."
Su Fan's scalp was a little numb. Fortunately, the characters in his game hadn't been in any danger yet, so he wasn't completely scared.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, Li Leping, who was walking in the front and observed the situation first, stopped at the gate of the first house.
This is the first house that can be seen after entering the village. It is a very old brick house. The windows have disappeared. The place where the windows were originally installed is now empty. The door is half open and the inside is dark. It makes people feel creepy, and they dare not go deep into it.
But in this dim house, under the light of Gu Li's hand, a figure can be vaguely seen floating in the house.
It was a corpse hanging from the beams, with both feet off the ground. In this strange village with no wind, the hanging corpse was shaking slightly, which was indescribably strange.
(End of this chapter)
Dajing City.
Three o'clock in the morning, in the outskirts of the city.
The place within ten kilometers here has already been blocked, and the towns and villages along the way have also been evacuated.
This place seems to have become a restricted area for living people, because soon there will be a ghost code-named Guicha approaching.
And tonight, the detention operation against ghost messengers has begun.
There are not many people in charge of this operation, including Li Leping, there are only five people in total.
Although there are not many people, these five people are the elites among the elites gathered from all over the country. They are the elites who are ahead of other ghost masters after eliminating batches of ghost masters.
Now, Li Leping brought Gu Li, Su Fan, and Ah Hong to gradually approach the suburbs.
The surrounding atmosphere is very depressing, there is dead silence nearby, not even a single insect chirp, only the occasional "rustling" sound when the cold wind blows through the treetops.
The treetops swayed in the cold wind, like weird and dark palms. The cold wind carried an inexplicable coldness and a faint smell of rancidity, as if there were a pile of dead bodies in the darkness ahead.
"It's almost there." Gu Li said.
Although there are no street lights along the way, the drones hovering overhead illuminate the destination.
It was a darkness that even the lights could not penetrate. The ghost domain, which was as black as ink and shaped like a black coffin, was floating not far away, and it was still slowly approaching everyone.
"We are approaching it, and it is also approaching us, don't go any further, wait for Liu San to attract the ghost painting."
Li Leping stopped.
Liu San had already boarded the plane and went to the designated place to attract ghost paintings.
Of course, Li Leping would not go deep into the ghost town of ghost messengers before the ghost painting came.
That ghost has been put into the coffin three times in a row, and now it has grown horribly. If relying on the blessing of its own number, it can temporarily avoid being targeted, then, facing the infinite restart and copying ability, Li Leping has no choice up.
There are too many, even the strongest ghost masters will be heaped to death by such a number.
This is why the headquarters is so eager to solve the ghost problem.
Once the ghost field enters the city, it doesn't take much time for the ghost chasing with infinite replication ability to destroy a city.
Not to mention that the cities involved also include Dajing City.
Right now, the few people have no unnecessary communication, and no one wants to talk now, they just want to stand quietly on this dim dirt road, waiting for news from Liu San.
"coming."
Suddenly, Su Fan, who was squatting on the ground playing with his mobile phone, spoke.
"Li Leping, Liu San has succeeded, and he is bringing ghost paintings to your side."
At the same time, He Xueyan's voice came from the satellite positioning mobile phone.
Not only him, Gu Li and Ah Hong's operators also received news.
"Okay, I see." Li Leping said with a serious face.
Everything went smoothly according to the plan, Liu San successfully lured the ghost and was moving here.
But this is only the first step. What will happen next between the ghost painting and the ghost difference, and what kind of unknown changes will occur, will only be known after the collision.
According to Wang Xiaoming's deduction, after the two S-level supernatural events collide with each other, there is a high probability that one of them can be resolved.
However, he didn't say it so absolutely. Since it was resolved with a high probability, it meant that there was still a small probability that two incidents would go out of control at the same time.
The risk is great, but Li Leping still has no objection.
Because objections are useless unless he can find a better solution.
Besides, he also needs a chance, a chance for the ghost to be suppressed.
Only after the ghost messenger was suppressed did he plan to search for traces of Huanggang Village, and then go deep into it to find the three-story farm house in Huanggang Village in the photo.
"As for the escape plan, it is probably unrealistic to expect Gu Li to take us out. Even if his ghost light is not like Yang Jian's ghost eyes, he will close his eyes and become a blind ghost when he touches a ghost painting, but the ghost The strength of the ghost domain of the painting itself is still too high, and it is unlikely to be torn apart by the fifth layer of ghost domain."
"In the end, we still have to count on this thing."
Thinking of this, Li Leping touched the position on his chest, which was a little raised, and the most important retreat tool for this operation was stored inside.
A doorknob smeared with red paint.
Before the action, he had already checked with Wang Xiaoming.
At the right time, open the right door, and they can leave that unknown ghost place through the door handle.
"Time is not enough, we must act as soon as possible to find the three-story building."
Thinking of this, Li Leping looked back at Su Fan who was still squatting on the ground playing with his mobile phone, and Ah Hong who was wearing unnaturally heavy makeup.
"Wang Xiaoming said that there are three other people besides me who know the real purpose of the plan, and I have four team members, which means that there is one person who doesn't know the real purpose of the plan."
After thinking for a while.
Suddenly.
"Here we come." Gu Li, who was most sensitive to Huang Quan's reaction, immediately reminded.
In the sky, wisps of gray things floated down, like snowflakes blooming in spring.
The silent surroundings also began to become gray, and lost their original color in the wisps of gray, as if being filled with a dense gray fog, the atmosphere in the air became more and more gloomy and cold, even a little choking. nose.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding darkness was replaced by this gray feeling, and amazing changes occurred in all visible places.
The surrounding colors seemed to be stripped away, losing their original brilliance, even the yellow-black soil and green weeds under their feet were replaced by gray.
"Is this... paper ashes?"
Gu Li stretched out his white palm and actively touched a wisp of something floating down.
Something unbelievable happened.
When he caught the falling thing, he just squeezed it lightly with his slender fingers, and the strand of gray turned into powder, leaving a discordant gray area on his palm.
"It's like the ashes floating in the air after burning paper money." Li Leping looked at the paper ashes falling in his palm.
After analyzing this point, he looked at Gu Li and the others: "The ghost domain of Guihua has arrived, and the collision with Guichai is about to begin, so get ready."
While speaking, more and more ashes were falling from the sky, like snowflakes falling down, staining everything around them with ashes.
The world that has lost its color, and the endless ashes that seem to be floating forever, seem to reveal an aura of despair like the end of the world.
"There is no situation yet."
Su Fan, who was playing with his mobile phone, didn't stop what he was doing. He saw No.1 on his mobile phone screen saying that the game was still going on normally, but the background of the game had changed, and the world in the game began to become darker. It was as if a weird baptism of ashes was going on there too.
"By the way, since Liu San has already attracted Gui Hua, what about others?" Ah Hong, who was wearing heavy makeup and a strangely bright blush on her face, asked doubtfully.
"No hurry, wait a little longer." Li Leping said calmly.
Liu San didn't die that easily. Li Leping had witnessed how weird that guy's paper doll ability was.
"Clap!"
And right now.
In the gray sky, besides the ashes that kept falling down, another figure suddenly fell.
The man fell heavily on the ground, and immediately became torn apart and shattered beyond recognition.
"Liu San?!" Gu Li was startled.
Although this person was smashed to pieces, but looking at the sallow skin and the broken face, one can still identify this person as Liu San.
"No, you can't say it's Liu San, it seems like it's just a paper figurine."
Ah Hong was a bold person with high skills, and walked over to check the paper figurine.
After getting close, if you take a closer look, you will find that it is just a paper man made of yellow paper, but the craftsmanship is so good that people can confuse it with a real person.
"It's really thrilling. Wang Xiaoming's calculations are accurate. I almost fell with the plane."
But at this moment, a gloomy voice came out from the broken paper figurine.
Immediately afterwards, a yellowed palm stretched out from inside.
With his palms on the ground, another paper figurine crawled out of the broken paper figurine.
Another Liu San with sallow complexion and free movement appeared.
The new Liu San came out, looked at Li Leping and said, "Be careful, the ghost domain of Ghost Painting is even weirder than we imagined. I somehow broke a paper figurine, and I didn't even stop Ghost Painting's attack. Down."
Liu San glanced at the paper figurine that was crushed on the ground.
The paper figurine opened its eyes wide, as if it still carried the unwillingness before death.
"Where is the source of the ghost painting?" Li Leping asked.
"It crashed over there with the plane. Although the plane is gone, Ghost Painting will definitely be fine."
Liu San pointed to the woods in another direction.
"Okay, I see." Li Leping raised his head and looked at the ashes falling from his head.
The amount of ashes falling has become more and more alarming, as if to occupy this area and turn this area into gray.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready to go."
Apparently, ghost paintings have already covered this area, and have even begun to confront Ghost Chai's ghost domain.
Now is the best time to enter the Ghost Realm.
Speaking of this, Li Leping looked at Liu San with weird eyes and said, "You probably just sent a paper man to fool me, right?"
In a word, the expressions of Gu Li and the others changed in an instant, and the eyes they looked at Liu San were full of scrutiny.
They really didn't think about this question just now.
Feeling that the surrounding eyes gradually became unfriendly, Liu San's sallow face showed a hint of surprise, and hurriedly said: "Are you kidding me, am I that kind of person?"
"evidence."
Li Leping obviously didn't believe Liu San's verbal defense, and only believed that seeing is believing.
"Ugh."
After a moment of silence, Liu San let out a helpless sigh.
Then, he took out a golden knife and cut his finger.
Thick, blackened blood flowed out, which seemed to prove that there was something else in his body.
"That's okay." Liu San said.
The relationship between him and Li Leping is not bad. The most important thing is that Li Leping also knows the existence of the old corpse, so he can use this method to prove his identity without tearing off his layers in front of everyone. The paper face reveals the real human leather face representing "Liu San".
Li Leping looked at the blackened blood flowing out of the inside of the paper figurine, and nodded slightly.
"It looks like you've got that thing done?" He recalled what happened at the bottom of the Lingjiang River.
Paper dolls don't bleed.
But that old corpse is not necessarily the case.
Liu San glanced at Gu Li and the others, then walked to Li Leping's side, and whispered: "Yes, but it's still a bit tricky, don't look at me as a paper doll, in fact I wrapped dozens of paper dolls outside , it can be said that he went bankrupt just to get that thing done."
"No wonder you didn't let a bunch of paper figurines follow you this time like before." Li Leping was thoughtful, and seemed to understand why the paper figurines died instead.
Because Liu San's body was surrounded by many paper figurines, it was definitely not Liu San's body that was attacked first, but the paper figurines wrapped around his body.
"That's the truth, but although I used the best-made paper dolls to restrict that ghost, I actually kept some paper dolls with poor workmanship in Dajing City, just in case the satellite phone is in the ghost domain. It's not easy to use." Liu San said.
"Okay, let's go." Li Leping nodded, and then looked at the gray sky in the distance.
The gray area is no longer limited to himself or the place where the plane crashed, but also covers the location where the ghost is located.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, Gu Li pointed to a place.
"Huh?" Several people looked over, their pupils shrank suddenly.
That is the area close to the black coffin ghost land formed by ghosts.
However, at this moment, the darkness condensed there was covered by a layer of gray color.
And in that gray, smoggy world, some strange scenes appeared vaguely.
It looks like the outline of high-rise buildings, like modern houses of different heights.
"Illusions in the ghost domain?" Liu San proposed this idea.
"Not necessarily." Li Leping said, "Although the files of ghost paintings have been deliberately concealed by foreign countries, it is certain that ghost paintings have caused a lot of trouble abroad, at least covering an entire city."
"So you suspect that this city is... the city covered in ghost paintings?" Liu San's voice trembled.
He has seen the ghost domain, and as far as he can judge, everything in the ghost domain revolves around ghosts.
In other words, in the ghost domain, ghosts have an absolute advantage in the field.
But if it is a ghost domain that can reproduce an entire city, doesn't that mean that ghost paintings can have an advantage within the scope of an entire city?
Li Leping's analysis seems a little unrealistic. After all, according to the existing intelligence knowledge, even if the ghost domain can cover an entire city, it does not mean that the ghost domain has the ability to affect the entire city.
Just like the ghost domain of borrowed ghosts and starving ghosts, although it covers the entire city, the actual range that can be affected is only a few kilometers. It is just the characteristics of haze and clouds, which lead to a similar spread in the ghost domain. sign.
However, diffusion is diffusion. In terms of actual influence ability, whether it is the black haze of starved ghosts or the ghost clouds borrowed from ghosts, it is impossible to completely affect the entire city.
But what is the outline of the city floating in the gray world in front of me, this thing that exists in the ghost painting ghost domain?
Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at a certain person in the team: "Su Fan, will there be any problems if you continue walking?"
He did not choose to act immediately, but instead chose to ask Su Fan, who had the ability to predict, in the team.
Although Su Fan's predictive ability was not as specific as Xiong Wenwen's, Li Leping was more willing to choose Su Fan as his teammate than that brat who was difficult to get along with and prone to mental breakdown.
Perhaps it was also based on this that Wang Xiaoming chose to include Su Fan in the candidates, thus giving up Xiong Wenwen, who had better predictive ability.
Primary school students are prone to problems when faced with the collision of two S-level incidents, especially after feeling a strange scene erupting around them.
Su Fan didn't answer right away, but was still playing with his phone with his head down, as if he was addicted to the game and couldn't help himself.
And on his mobile phone, a very crude, even rough game was running.
This is a game with the No.1 screen. The background of the game is a gray world. Su Fan taps the screen to control the protagonist's walking route.
At this moment, the protagonist of the game was walking along the dirt road in front of him under Su Fan's control.
Although it was dark all around, everything seemed to be normal.
"No problem, at least for the time being. You can go all the way." Seeing that the protagonist of the game was safe and sound, Su Fan replied.
"Okay, let's go." After being confirmed, Li Leping took the lead in walking in front of the team.
In the gray world, under the rendering of color, the monotonous color makes everything around it so depressing.
However, Li Leping did not stop in this dull atmosphere, but led Liu San and others quickly approaching the direction of Guichai Huangyu.
"Li Leping, do you feel that the ghost town of Guicha has disappeared?" Suddenly, Gu Li said.
Looking further away, the black ghost domain of Guichai, which looks like a huge coffin, has disappeared. There is only a layer of gray haze filling the sky, covering everyone's sight.
"The ghost domains of the two ghosts have already collided, and the ghost messenger is likely to be suppressed."
While speaking, Li Leping still did not stop.
"Huh?" Just when Gu Li was about to discuss the situation with Li Leping again, he suddenly let out an exclamation.
Li Leping also stopped, looking forward with some seriousness.
"what happened?"
Liu San and Ah Hong from behind came up.
"There are dirt roads here, how could there be an asphalt road suddenly?"
Gu Li pointed to the front, not far away, a dirt road that had not been repaired stretched all the way, but somewhere, the dirt road seemed to be cut off by an asphalt road that suddenly appeared.
The dirt road was replaced by a winding asphalt road, and this asphalt road spread all the way forward, spreading to a dark place.
In the dark, you can see the trees on both sides of the road, but the dense trees are extremely strange, like rows of impenetrable walls that have been deliberately arranged, and just looking at the outlines of these trees in the dark, It seems that these trees are all copy-pasted from a certain tree.
"An unpredictable change..." Li Leping didn't move forward, but turned around and looked at Su Fan again.
"Wait for Su Fan's news, and Gu Li, try to use the ghost domain to see if your ghost domain will be restricted."
He needs new information.
Huangquan is a world of ghosts, and after two ghost worlds collide, anything is possible and any changes are happening.
Li Leping didn't intend to rush forward at such a time, after all, there was a ghost master with predictive ability in the team, so there was no need to think about going forward at such a time.
Gu Li and Su Fan did not reply, and immediately started a new round of action.
Gu Li stretched out that white hand, and a bright ball exuding white light appeared in his hand like this.
However, the ghost light, which is usually enough to illuminate the surrounding tens of meters, and even enough to make the dazzling light visible for miles around, can barely illuminate the range of a few meters at this moment.
The paper dust falling from the sky seems to suppress the continuous release of light.
"The strength of the ghost domain in Ghost Painting is much higher than I imagined. There will be a lot of restrictions on using the ghost domain in it."
"If it's really dangerous, if I fight hard, I should be able to expand the ghost domain to a few tens of meters, but this is the limit. Even if I compress the ghost domain into a line, I can't do it like I did in the experimental base before. I fished you out." Gu Li said in embarrassment.
"At least it will be much brighter, and I won't be stolen by ghosts." Liu San comforted me bitterly.
And when Liu Sanhe was communicating with Gu Li.
There was a new change in the game screen in Su Fan's hand.
He controls the protagonist of the game, walking on this dark road.
At the same time, a dangerous message appeared on the corner of the phone screen.
Danger around.
Danger is approaching, but from which direction it is not known.
And at this time.
A notification suddenly popped up on the phone screen.
Su Fan used a prop: a torch.
Who would have thought that the name of the protagonist in this game is exactly the same as Su Fan in reality.
Obviously, this is not a coincidence. The protagonist in the game is actually the future Su Fan to some extent.
And at this time.
Su Fan in the game stopped, took out his lighter, and prepared to light the torch.
However, the moment Su Fan stopped, everything around him was filled with darkness, and then the game screen went dark for an instant.
You are dead.
Four large red characters appeared in the center of the screen.
"It's dangerous to go on, but you can avoid it with a torch."
Su Fan frowned, put down the phone and said.
There have been more than one or two occasions when there was no sign of death in the game. Although the crude game and the content of the game almost drove Su Fan crazy, he can also be sure that the game To some extent, it is linked to reality, and will give a warning of danger at the corresponding time.
"Torch?" Liu San was taken aback for a moment.
"Where can I find a torch in the wilderness? I'm going to cut down a tree now, can I make one for you?"
As Gu Li said, he even took out an old scythe from his backpack.
"Huh? Where did you get this thing?" Li Leping said in surprise.
This scythe looked familiar, it was the one that Wang Xiaoming lent him temporarily at the experimental base.
But it came back later.
"This sickle?" Gu Li didn't hide anything, "Wang Xiaoming said he gave it to me as a birthday present, even though it's not my birthday these days."
Su Fan didn't join the topic about the scythe, but glanced at Liu San and Gu Li, and then said with a serious face: "The torch doesn't necessarily refer to the torch itself, but a reminder that there is a huge danger on this road Yes, once the danger comes, someone will definitely die, and the way to prevent it is to find the item represented by the torch, so as to avoid the danger."
"So that's how it is." Gu Li and the two understood.
Li Leping took out a red ghost candle from his arms: "So, this thing represents a torch?"
He also seemed to have figured out some key points in Su Fan's game.
The torch is just a symbol, but it does not refer to the torch itself.
How to avoid the arrival of danger is the key.
"Ghost candle, you actually have this thing?" Su Fan looked at the bright red candle, his eyes moved slightly.
"It's not important, you just need to tell me whether my guess is right or not." Li Leping said.
"It should be true. The so-called picked up items in the game are actually very likely to be items that one of us originally carried. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that we will indeed pick up a certain key item along the way." Su Fan said.
"Okay." With that said, Li Leping lit the ghost candle in his hand.
For this operation, he also took out all the things at the bottom of the box.
A surrogate doll and the ghost candles accumulated before.
With the igniting of the ghost candle, the green candlelight instantly illuminates the surrounding darkness.
The candlelight flickered, and the ashes falling from the sky seemed to avoid the place shrouded in candlelight.
"Let's go." Li Leping said.
There is only one way to the ghost town, and they have no choice unless they dare to walk through the weird woods.
With the protection of the ghost candle, everyone walked on the asphalt road, and their hearts were a little more at ease.
After all, just now, Su Fan said that if he broke into this asphalt road directly, it would definitely be damaged.
Now with this ghost candle, the gloom and weirdness around him seemed to be dispelled.
"The burning speed is a bit abnormal, speed up." Li Leping frowned at this moment.
It's not that he hasn't used ghost candles before. He remembers that when he was in the ghost area, he once used the experimental version of ghost candles to fight sleepwalking ghosts.
Li Leping always felt that the experimental ghost candle Wang Xiaoming gave him at that time was a bit rubbish, after all, it was exhausted by the sleepwalking ghost.
He didn't ask Wang Xiaoming specifically, but the consumption speed of the ghost candle when fighting against borrowing ghosts after passing it seems to be enough to prove his conjecture.
Compared with the original version, Ghost Candle's resistance has been significantly strengthened.
But this should be caused by sacrificing output and enhancing quality.
However, as time goes by, the production quantity of ghost candles in Wang Xiaoming's hands should not be much worse.
After getting familiar with the production process and production process, the production capacity will naturally increase.
However, at this moment, the burning speed of the ghost candle is obviously a bit too fast. Even if there is no sign of the "puff, puff" of the flames before, the current burning speed is still very abnormal.
"If there are no ghosts around, it is not a problem for a ghost candle to burn for an hour, but judging from the current signs, the ghost candle can last for 5 minutes at most." Li Leping estimated.
"Is it because of the ashes falling from the sky that the ghost candle is affected by the ghost painting, or is it because there are already ghosts around us, but the ghosts haven't shown up yet?"
Thinking of this, Li Leping couldn't help but glance at the gloomy forest around him.
There is a place where candlelight cannot illuminate, and there is a dead silence in the woods. No one knows if there is something hidden behind the thick trees.
Not daring to delay, Li Leping took the ghost candle and accelerated the pace of progress.
Everyone also noticed this, and immediately followed his speed and accelerated forward.
"what is this?"
Suddenly, Li Leping stopped again.
He really wanted to move on, but after a certain distance, he found that the asphalt road under his feet had a fork in front of him.
A road suddenly has many forks, and at the end of the fork, you can see the abandoned old houses, the outlines of old buildings, and the cemetery leading to the graves, and even some roads At the end, I stopped pretending, and some shaking figures appeared directly...
"No matter how much, go forward."
Without hesitating for too long, Li Leping looked at the location on the satellite phone screen, and then chose not to take these side roads, but chose to continue forward.
These fork roads are likely to be the traces of the ghost paintings gradually suppressing the ghosts, and these fork roads may lead to the exits left by the ghost paintings.
But Li Leping obviously would not take these exits.
He is going to where the ghost messenger is.
In the ghost painting, although the world of the ghost domain actually exists, the area illuminated by the ghost candle is the real location in reality.
It cannot be said that these fork roads are fake, it can only be said that their function is to mislead the people who enter this area, make them get lost in this area, and even stray into more terrifying and unknown places.
Holding a ghost candle, illuminate the road ahead, and move forward according to the positioning.
"arrive."
At this moment, Li Leping finally stopped.
Because in front of him, in the darkness beyond the reach of light, a small village emerged.
There was a sign a few meters in front of him.
Huanggang Village.
There are only these three words written on the sign.
"Huanggang Village? Why did this place appear again?" Ah Hong asked with some horror.
Gu Li, Liu San, and Su Fan also frowned, staring at the sign that said Huanggang Village.
The source of the S-level supernatural event code-named ghost messenger came from the ghost coffin, and the place where the ghost coffin appeared was a place called Huanggang Village on the outskirts of Dachang City.
"Why did Huanggang Village appear here?!" Gu Li couldn't believe it.
After the collision of two supernatural events, something terrible and unexplainable has happened.
If Huanggang Village is here, where did the ghost messenger go?
Before the action, everyone had read the files about Huanggang Village, so they naturally understood what this village called Huanggang Village meant.
That was the place where the ghost messenger walked out of the coffin for the first time. The most depressing thing is that according to Feng Quan's report and the files compiled by the headquarters later, it can be confirmed that the entire Huanggang Village, including every plant and tree in the village, are all ghosts. bad part.
In the beginning, the reason for the despair of the ghost messengers is that the ghost messengers will keep restarting and become new villagers, and keep coming back.
Because of this, the current Gu Li and others are stationed outside Huanggang Village.
Because no one knows what the appearance of Huanggang Village represents.
Has Guicha been suppressed, or has it grown stronger?
Otherwise, why would Huanggang Village reappear in this place?
"There seems to be something wrong with the plan, Li Leping, what should I do? Come up with an idea."
On the contrary, there was a weird smile on Liu San's face. The smile was a bit ferocious, it seemed to be a forced smile when he felt danger, and the yellow paper on his face was wrinkled.
"Don't panic, we haven't been attacked by ghosts yet, don't scare yourself." Li Leping said with a calm face, and then looked at Su Fan again.
Su Fan also put down his phone at this time and said: "It's unrealistic to turn around and leave. My first attempt in the game was to retreat, but it failed. Whether the characters in the game retreat or stay in place, they will Death, only survived for a while after entering Huanggang Village."
"How sure are you of the reliability of your game?" Liu San asked.
Su Fan said: "I'm not sure, it's the ghost who made the prediction, not me, and the prediction was made under the collision of two S-level ghosts."
"Damn it, isn't that all the roads are blocked..." Liu San slapped his palm with a fist.
Li Leping didn't panic, and analyzed all the information at this moment: "Turning around and leaving may be the most dangerous choice."
"Now the collision between Guicha and Guihua has begun. Regardless of whether Guihua or Guicha wins in the end, the spiritual entanglement that occurs in the collision will definitely start from the outside at first, so if we step back now, the five of us are likely to collide with each other. This spiritual confrontation and then dying in this entanglement may also be the reason why Su Fan predicted that we would die if we stayed where we were, because after staying outside the village for a long time, the suppression of ghost paintings will gradually penetrate here, At that time, we will also be swept away by the supernatural confrontation between the two ghosts, and then die inside."
"So, you plan to enter the village?" Gu Li said.
"Huanggang Village is the original appearance of the ghost messenger incident. The appearance of Huanggang Village may mean that the ghost messenger was indeed suppressed by the ghost painting, so Huanggang Village reappeared, because the ghost messenger has returned to the original stage, and the ghost coffin is in it again. You took it out at the experimental base, so... wait a minute."
Suddenly, Li Leping who looked at Gu Li seemed to think of something.
"What's wrong?" Gu Li was a little confused.
"That's why Wang Xiaoming asked you to take out the ghost coffin at that time, because he had already thought of the follow-up plan to fight against ghosts and ghosts."
"Let you take out the ghost coffin, and then the ghost messenger will lose the ghost coffin, and will not be able to recover under the suppression of the ghost painting, because the puzzle has been taken away."
Li Leping's eyelids twitched and he suddenly thought of this.
Hearing this, Gu Li was also surprised.
He thought that Wang Xiaoming was obsessed with ghost coffins, but he didn't expect that there was such a factor.
"This guy, has he even reached this level? Then his plan to use the ghost painting to imprison the ghost messenger has already been considered. As for the conversation with the human skin paper, the main content may be to confirm Wei Jing Fish out his whereabouts." Li Leping thought about this part in his heart.
Liu San said: "That is to say, the appearance of Huanggang Village is actually expected? It means that there is a turning point, and there is a possibility that ghosts will be suppressed?" Maybe turning around and leaving is the most dangerous choice, because Now the collision between ghosts and ghost paintings has begun.
After pondering for a while, Li Leping said: "There is a possibility. I participated in the ghost incident at the experimental base. At that time, the ghost has grown to the point that it can be replicated in the restart, but now we have no encounters from The attack of the ghost messenger means that the ghost messenger has been suppressed, so it cannot be restarted and replicated like before."
"Then what are you waiting for, go directly to the village and get rid of the suppressed ghost messenger. Since it is suppressed, it shouldn't be able to restart. Let's go straight to the end, and at worst die there." Liu San said, taking out the Body bags made of gold.
There is only one chance, if turning around and running away is not feasible, then the only option is to confront him head-on.
Although the ghost missions were not completely suppressed as planned, but if they were faced with the ghost missions in the initial stage, then everyone still had the confidence to solve them.
"Then act." Li Leping said.
Gu Li and the others also nodded slightly.
Things have developed to such a point, if you can't escape, you can only bite the bullet and go up.
Immediately.
After blowing out the ghost candle that was about to burn out, Gu Li tacitly held the ghost light, took over the flame of the ghost candle, and illuminated the surrounding situation.
The five people passed the sign with the words "Huanggang Village" and walked towards the dimly shrouded Huanggang Village.
Along the road into the village, with Gu Li holding it in his hand, like the white light of a huge light bulb, everyone looked at this small village.
The village was extraordinarily quiet, and the road farther away was silent in a strange darkness, unable to be illuminated by light.
"It's not quite right..." Gu Li's tone was a little low, as if he had discovered something.
"How to say?" Liu San said.
"I have read the archives of Huanggang Village. I remember that the description of Huanggang Village in the archives is half-new and half-old. The houses in the front are all newly built rural self-built houses, like small villas, with several floors. , and the houses along the road are the old adobe houses and wooden houses.”
"But if you look at this village now, when you walk in, you can see all the old houses, all brick houses and wooden houses. There are no self-built houses made of reinforced concrete."
Before entering the village, Gu Li revealed this somewhat horrifying change.
Extending from the road all the way, there are some old farm houses, some of which seem to have been abandoned for a long time, with broken windows, mottled walls, half-open doors, and the inside is dark, with an inexplicable gloomyness.
"Something went wrong. This might not be us, or it might be the Huanggang Village that Yang Jian experienced."
Li Leping summed up this frightening fact.
"No."
Su Fan's scalp was a little numb. Fortunately, the characters in his game hadn't been in any danger yet, so he wasn't completely scared.
"what is that?"
Suddenly, Li Leping, who was walking in the front and observed the situation first, stopped at the gate of the first house.
This is the first house that can be seen after entering the village. It is a very old brick house. The windows have disappeared. The place where the windows were originally installed is now empty. The door is half open and the inside is dark. It makes people feel creepy, and they dare not go deep into it.
But in this dim house, under the light of Gu Li's hand, a figure can be vaguely seen floating in the house.
It was a corpse hanging from the beams, with both feet off the ground. In this strange village with no wind, the hanging corpse was shaking slightly, which was indescribably strange.
