The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 428 Trading
Yang Jian turned his head and glanced at the old but normal archway in the sun with lingering fear. The four characters "Mingyue Community" were clearly engraved on the rusty iron plate hanging on it.

This seemingly ordinary community hides an extremely dangerous and supernatural place.

"In the face of such a ghost, you didn't run away, but chose to resist?"

Yang Jian recalled his previous experience in Mingyue Community, then looked at Li Leping, and asked such a question.

He didn't know how terrifying the old man was when Li Leping confronted him.

However, even if the horror of the old people at that time was not as exaggerated as it is now, the problem is that Li Leping was also in poor condition at that time. He was dismembered when he was driving ghost smoke and looking for people, and someone else encountered such a supernatural event. , It is estimated that the first time I will think about how far to hide.

Even the people in charge assigned by the headquarters to major cities are no exception.

After all, who dares to pat his chest and say that he is not afraid of death?

Hearing this, Li Leping looked at the community where he had stayed for several months, and shook his head stiffly: "I am not someone who is easy to remember, and it is not a problem to say that I am a loner, and the instinct of ghosts is also It is affecting me, although the traces of being affected are not obvious now, but I know that one day, Li Leping will forget that he is Li Leping, and finally become a ghost with Li Leping's memory."

"Consciousness being eroded by ghosts, this seems to be an inescapable problem for ghost masters throughout their lives. Now that you have controlled that weird shadow head, I believe you will be able to perceive such deeper feelings soon."

"Different ghost masters also have different resistance methods when facing the same problem, such as slowing down the loss of their humanity by protecting others, especially family members."

"However, I don't have anyone to protect, because there are not many people left who know me. If you use a lonely person to describe a person, then I can even remove the word 'widow'. Now I There is only one lonely family left."

As he spoke, he bent down, and his pale fingers slid across the road under his feet.

"I don't have parents or wives and children like you. I don't have a family. There are not even a few people left who can remember me. I don't even have a place where I can be called home."

"But for me, Okawa City, the land under my feet is my lonely home."

"Let me give up my home to a ghost?"

"This is impossible."

When he said this, his voice was indifferent, and his tone of indifference made people feel a chill, but there was a resounding determination in his words.

"Different from other ghost masters, does Li Leping only have this kind of faith left to strengthen his humanity?" Yang Jian thought to himself looking at the strange man who gently brushed the ground with his fingers.

It is perfectly normal for a ghost master to be affected by the instinct of a ghost, and Yang Jian is also deeply touched by this.

This is why he has never dared to let go of his hands and feet and let the ghost splicing new limbs.

The more desperately the ghost's instinct wants to do this, the less people can satisfy its ideas, otherwise the consciousness will easily sink into the ghost's instinct and eventually lose itself.

It's not that Yang Jian has never seen such a weird ghost master. He obviously didn't recover from the ghost, but his behavior was full of weirdness everywhere. He couldn't tell whether the reason he wanted to do something was from human instinct or from ghosts. instinct.

Some ghost masters whose brains are no longer normal, like to do what the ghosts in their bodies like to do.

So Yang Jian is also trying to maintain his humanity in the process of the ghosts eroding his consciousness, but the effect is not obvious so far.

His lack of emotion became more and more serious, and even though he instinctively wanted to resist, not wanting to change his body as Ghost Shadow wished, he finally replaced himself with a ghost hand.

Although Li Yang on the side didn't speak, he nodded silently.

He is also deeply touched by the fact that ghosts affect human nature, from the initial influence on emotion, to the subsequent influence on behavioral logic.

Because sometimes, when he sees an open door, an urge to close the door and block it will arise in his heart.

And if he sees a closed door, he will have an urge to open the door.

This is the horror of ghosts. Even if they are controlled, even if ghosts have not fully recovered, as long as they exist in the body of the ghost master, it will affect the humanity of the ghost master all the time, and finally make the ghost master again and again. Lose yourself in the weird moves.

"I still have some relatives and friends worthy of my protection, and their existence can maintain my humanity all the time. At least I still know that I have to live, and the premise of a normal life is to maintain the stability of major cities, in case Dachang City affected."

At this point in his thoughts, Yang Jian looked at the strange man in front of him who could not be remembered no matter what, and seemed to understand his loneliness.

Unlike himself, Li Leping has no family members. Even before he controlled the Forgotten Ghost, he still had a few friends, but with the supernatural influence of the Forgotten Ghost, the past has already become a cloud of smoke.

So in this world, it is not someone who witnessed his life, but the city under his feet.

The land under his feet is the witness of his life.

Okawa City, he has lived in this city for 20 years, and this city has also witnessed his growth along the way.

Whether it is growing up as a human being or growing up as a ghost master.

Even if the city is just a dead thing in the final analysis, it is impossible to communicate with him, let alone remind him that it is Li Leping.

But as long as he lives in this city and lives as usual day after day, even if he just looks at the familiar plants and trees in front of him, he will know that he is Li Leping.

But what if he was asked to change to a strange city, to leave his hometown and flee to other cities?

That would be equivalent to giving up everything he had done in the past 20 years.

It is unacceptable for Li Leping to let this city that has witnessed his growth fall into the hands of the ghosts. It is tantamount to depriving him of what he has left.

The meager sense of existence has been taken away by the Forgotten Ghost. Now if another ghost comes and wants to take away his hometown, how can Li Leping bear it?
"For him, the people in this city are not important, what is important is the city itself. This is a symbol, a beacon to remind Li Leping that Li Leping is."

Understanding this meaning, Yang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Barely relying on my own thoughts and the land under my feet, can I barely maintain my humanity, so as to fight against the fate of the ghost master?"

This process of confrontation made Yang Jian somewhat embarrassed, but it seemed that to Li Leping, such a process of confrontation seemed reasonable and cruel.

"Although the ghost master who has mastered the forgotten ghost has a high starting point, the price he has to face is also very obvious. Such a person who cannot be remembered is destined to be lonely. Many things can only be resisted by himself. Live and die, and then the ghost will revive."

After understanding why Li Leping was obsessed with Dachuan City, Yang Jian did not continue to discuss this topic too much. After all, it was meaningless to discuss too many profound issues with Li Leping.

After all, as soon as he turned around, the memory of the conversation between the two would be buried deep in his memory. Unless someone deliberately mentioned it, even Yang Jian would not be able to immediately remember that he had met Li Leping once.

"Fang Shiming's pair of scissors should still be in your hand, right?"

Suddenly, Yang Jian changed the subject, or this was his real plan.

"what happened?"

Li Leping neither admitted nor denied, but was vague because he couldn't figure out Yang Jian's plan.

Although the Yang Jian in front of him is no longer the stunned young man who just entered the supernatural circle, and he is not the kind of person who is going to work hard at every turn, but Li Leping always treats him with a cautious attitude.

There is no way, this guy has done a lot of killing and looting. It is not uncommon for a friend to be friends one second and turn his face the next.

If he had his eye on the ghost scissors, and then completely disregarded the fragile friendship of his colleagues, and wanted to kill himself in this unknown place, then Li Leping really had nothing to say.

Of course, the premise is that Yang Jian really intends to work hard for a pair of scissors, and he has to be able to fight Li Leping, who is also the captain.

"It's very simple, if the scissors are in your hands, how about we make a deal?" Yang Jian looked at him and said.

Although Li Leping's sense of existence is not high, and he has been missing for a long time, so it can be said that there is almost no news about him circulating in the spiritual circle.

But the deeds of killing Fang Shiming were recorded in the file by the headquarters, and the black and white words are not so easy to be erased.

For Yang Jian, the most valuable thing about Fang Shiming is the pair of scissors.

After all, it was a supernatural item that cut off his head in the air. After experiencing the horror of this item, Yang Jian would naturally want to hold such a dangerous supernatural item in his own hands, so that he would not be in trouble again one day. Unprepared, he was forcibly cut off his head, causing his brains to splatter.

"Deal? I heard that Ghost Eye Yang Jian's name is all made by typing. Will you be willing to sit down and talk with someone?" Li Leping said.

Yang Jian sneered when he heard the words: "Sit down and talk? Li Leping, you are a ghost master who was born in the early days. You don't know how chaotic the spiritual world was at that time."

"Bullying the weak, the weak preying on the strong, even in today's supernatural circle, these two words are the last word. If you don't beat people to death, you will be beaten to death. But you don't have to think too bad of me. Someone provoked me, and I was forced to fight back. If someone is willing to sit down with me and negotiate a deal that is in mutual interest, then why should I fight with them? Think I have too few enemies? Think I haven’t died enough quick?"

"What's more, I feel that the supernatural incidents have begun to get out of control. Although you are a captain-level figure, you have been disconnected from the outside world for too long. The 301 incident in Dachuan City is just one of the supernatural incidents that broke out recently. .”

"The Fushouyuan incident in Dahai City, the ghost post office incident in Dahan City, including the Dachang City where I live, there will occasionally be some supernatural incidents. There are more and more messy things. It is estimated that some cities will be destroyed in a short time. I am not It is impossible for a good person to protect every city, but if through the exchange of resources, the interests of both parties can be maximized, so that both parties can obtain the growth that is most suitable for their own spirituality, then it will be a good thing for the stability of the situation. After all, I have relatives and friends. And live."

After hearing Yang Jian finished speaking, Li Leping was silent for a while, and then said in his heart: "Sure enough, as the captain, I have experienced a lot, and I have grown a lot in my heart."

If it were a fledgling Yang Jian, he would definitely not want to take a loss, or dare not take it. After all, no one knows, once he has suffered such a loss, will there be more people who want to take advantage of it next time? He took a bite.

But now, Yang Jian actually knows how to consider the overall situation.

big picture.

These two words are really against Yang Jian.

But everyone hopes that the city they live in can be safe and stable, and if there are more and more cities out of control in the country, the city they live in will inevitably be affected.

For the sake of the overall situation, each party has to force itself to mature.

Now that Yang Jian has taken the initiative to invite the transaction, Li Leping has no reason not to accept this kind offer.

"The scissors are in my hand."

Li Leping no longer kept secrets, and generously took out a small golden box.

The box is not big, it doesn't look like it can hold too many things.

But in such a small box, there is a strange pair of scissors.

Yang Jian's head was forcibly cut off by this pair of scissors, and even the Tianling Cap was cut off.

I remember that at that time, Li Leping happened to be sitting next to him, but his face was covered with blood.

"So, what's your offer in exchange?"

Supernatural items definitely cannot be measured by money, no amount of gold can buy a supernatural item.

This transaction can only be carried out by exchanging something that the other party is interested in, that is, by bartering.

Li Leping didn't open the box immediately. Although he was willing to accept Yang Jian's deal, he didn't forget the principle of paying with one hand and delivering with the other.

You know, Yang Jian has a ghost domain.

He didn't even see the goods, if Yang Jian used Huang Quan to take the scissors away as soon as he opened the box later, wouldn't he be a clown on the spot?
"I haven't thought about the exchange item yet. I'll come to you with the exchange item after a while. You just need to remember to leave what you have on hand to me."

Yang Jian's answer made Li Leping feel unexpected.

I didn't think about what to exchange for this pair of scissors, so I used a sentence to ask myself to keep the scissors well, and then come to exchange with myself after I find something that suits my preferences?

Can it be like this?
Isn't this the same as paying a short deposit in advance, and then logically making it impossible to sell the ghost scissors?

"Don't worry, I will pay you a solid deposit now."

Yang Jian looked at Li Leping's dead and numb face. Although he couldn't read his thoughts from the expression on his face, Yang Jian also knew that his remarks, which were close to prostitution, would definitely cause Li's displeasure. .

Done.

Yang Jian's ghost domain once again covered the area.

The terrain of the entire abandoned urban area immediately began to undergo an incredible change.

The old buildings that were half demolished or not demolished in time suddenly disappeared, as if they were erased from reality, and the surrounding suddenly became a flat ground, only Mingyue Community remained, standing there alone .

Then, a tall and strangely shaped wall appeared.

The wall is 20 meters high and five meters thick. It is made of building materials from countless abandoned buildings. It seems to have been forcibly pasted into a wall by an invisible hand. It is solid and there is no gap.

The five-story ghost domain changes reality. For Yang Jian's current state, it only takes a few seconds to change the landscape.

"I won't leave the door for you to enter. This place should be listed as a forbidden area for living people. Ordinary people will only cause more trouble if they stray into it." Yang Jian looked at Li Leping and said.

Li Leping didn't speak, just nodded.

"Okay, the deposit has been paid, remember to leave the scissors to me, even if you have a problem, mail the scissors to me before you die."

After hearing Yang Jian's words, the capitalists would call him brothers and sisters.

"Row."

Li Leping did not refuse, after all, among the ghost masters he knew, it seemed that only Yang Jian was interested in the scissors at present, and Yang Jian was also the person who was most likely to give him a satisfactory price.

Time was running out, so Yang Jian didn't stay any longer. The scarlet light shrouded in front of his eyes disappeared in a flash, and he and Li Yang disappeared in place together.

"Are you gone?"

Li Leping put away the small box containing the ghost scissors in his hand, then glanced at the things still left on the ground that belonged to him.

A box containing ghost smoke, a seeker ghost suppressed by a short stick, and a transfer ghost hidden under the uniform of the person in charge.

Everything is already here.

"Let's go, and the road is blocked for me."

After confirming that he did not leave anything behind in Mingyue Community, Li Leping did not leave, but turned around speechlessly, and took a look at the strange high wall standing behind him.

There is nothing wrong with Yang Jian's move to block the Mingyue community. Every person in charge will use this method to deal with supernatural events that cannot be completely resolved.

But the problem is that there are still some matters in Mingyue community that Li Leping has to deal with.

"The old lady told me before she died that if I was free, I would carry her coffin downstairs, then take a bus to an old house, and finally bury the coffin in the cemetery of that old house."

He began to recall the last thing the old woman told him.

"I don't know what that old house is for, but that old house seems to be a certain risk, because the old woman reminded me to pay attention to whether there are lanterns on the door of the old house, and if there are lanterns hanging on the door If there is a ghost wandering outside the gate of the ancient house, it means that there is something wrong with the ancient house, and if I go in, I will probably die inside."

"It's impossible for this old woman to speak empty words, nor is she trying to scare me. The ancient house she mentioned must not be simple. It's just that I have stayed here for a long time because of my own problems, and I don't know the ancient house. What is the state of the house?"

"The best way to check is to go and see for yourself. Although the old lady said that there would be no problem with the coffin staying in 301, but now that the ghost has recovered, she has lost control again. If she is allowed to wander around, in case the ghost wanders I don't know if there will be any changes if I go to Building 301, so I'd better send the coffin to the burial as soon as possible."

It's not hard to make up your mind.

Although the supernatural bus was dangerous, as long as he obeyed the rules, Li Leping didn't think that once he got on the bus, he would never be able to get off again.

He can no longer be classified as a living person.

A ghost with the consciousness of a living person is not so easy to kill.

"However, the instinct of sleepwalking ghosts has not been completely erased, so it is not yet time to control ghost smoke again."

"If this is the case, then I have to find someone to take me back to Building No. [-], and I really need someone to help me when I lift the coffin."

Immediately, Li Leping found a suitable candidate.

　Let Zhang Dong come!
