The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 450 Ghost Alley
Hearing this, the old man fell silent.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the chandelier hanging on the ceiling emitted a dim light, reflecting on the faces of the four people in the room.

The faces of Li Leping and the old man were still so cold, without any emotion.

Instead, the expressions of Jiang Hao and Shen Tian suddenly changed.

They felt the solidification of the atmosphere, and they also knew how harsh Li Leping's outspoken words were.

It's obviously unwise to argue about right and wrong with an elderly man who has half a foot in the coffin, especially since this old man is still an older generation ghost master, so his temper will not be very good.

In case he is annoyed, the dispute will inevitably develop in the direction of tearing the skin apart.

But Li Leping didn't take it seriously.

If the old man really couldn't hold back because of his two or three words, if he insisted on doing something, then hit him.

Who will die and who will live is still unknown.

Although Li Leping is afraid of these older generation ghost masters, it doesn't mean that he has to deliberately cater to these old things in everything he says and does.

In the final analysis, this era belongs to our own generation.

Whether the people of the previous generation are dead or alive, in short, they are already on the verge of their limit. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of dead people who are about to wither, and they don't have any right to speak.

Li Leping also didn't believe that the old man in front of him could be as terrifying as the old woman in 301.

Those people are all ghost masters who are truly at the pinnacle of the era, and ghost masters who have truly survived from the period of spiritual outbreaks to today. They are top existences who have emerged from the spiritual events of life and death.

"Everyone has their own aspirations."

After a stalemate in the atmosphere for a while, the old man shook his head, looking a little helpless.

"You must have encountered many things. After experiencing so many bad things, it is not easy to survive. There is no need to argue with me, a dying person."

"Time is not forgiving, I was just one of the many ghost masters of that era, and I just opened a tattoo parlor in this ghost alley, and I lived a long time, so I was lucky enough to meet many people who were at the apex of the era , these characters are older than me, and much stronger than me, but they can't escape the end of being swallowed by spirits, and in the end they can only wither like fallen leaves. Even the ghost masters who are the same age as me are now Not many left."

As he spoke, the old man's eyelids drooped slightly, and his expression became a bit vicissitudes and lonely.

But soon, he opened his eyes again, and looked at Li Leping again with a pair of cloudy eyes that barely had the brilliance of a living person.

"To be honest, it's actually a good thing that you can have such an idea that our approach is wrong. This is actually equivalent to you starting to think about how to completely end the supernatural events of this era."

"The difference is, each of us has our own ideas."

"Opinions cannot be unified. Everyone will give an answer to this hopeless world after going through a long time in the supernatural circle, and everyone will give a different answer. Everyone will choose to do what they think they should do That's why I opened such a tattoo parlor, using a method that seems extremely cruel in your eyes to train younger generations."

"Spiritual incidents are emerging one after another, and the top ghost masters I have ever seen can't completely stop them, so people of our generation will naturally feel that the paths we have taken before are all wrong, and the symptoms are not the root cause."

"For this reason, we can only hope that some of the younger generations will take a different path. For those of us who have dealt with ghosts all our lives, some cruel methods are nothing at all, as long as we can cultivate hope in the end." , then no matter how many people die, it is worthwhile, anyway, no matter how many people die in an era, it is better than the death of all people."

The old man sighed, but there was a strong belief, or obsession, in his words.

The old people withered, but the people who once stood at the top could not escape the fate of the revival of the ghosts, and the supernatural events would still erupt again after a brief subside.

Everything gives a sense of disheartened despair.

Under the influence of various desperate factors, it is not difficult to imagine how many people will try various methods in order to try to end this cycle of terror once and for all.

But even so, until the day when these people were about to die, hope still did not appear.

I have worked hard all my life, and I have been on the way to imprison Li Gui for the rest of my life.

But everything was in vain.

This is like a policeman who has been arresting a prisoner all his life, but if one day, when he is lying on the sickbed and is about to close his eyes and die, all the criminals who have been caught by him in the prison will come to his bedside, When looking at him with a complacent look, no one can withstand such a blow.

"If you are not a dying person, the behavior of giving people random tattoos like you is definitely not tolerated by this era. Not only ordinary people can't accept it, but even normal city leaders can't accept it." , although your ghost tattoos have created many ghost masters, but the ghost masters themselves are unstable factors. Any revival of a ghost will trigger a supernatural event, not to mention that most of the people whose tattoos you forcibly tattooed are If you are not mentally prepared to enter the spirit circle, you may not only die from the resuscitation of ghosts, but you will die very quickly."

Li Leping stared at him, as if to put the dispute to rest.

Hearing this, the old man smiled a little again on his old and tattooed face, but it seemed that he was laughing at himself.

After all, he really didn't have the confidence to continue arguing.

For so many years, ghost tattoos have been tattooed on countless people, but the special case that was hoped for did not appear after all.

If he didn't show up, it means that his idea is wrong.

"But you've had tattoos for so many years, there must be some lucky ones who have persisted until now?" Li Leping asked.

"Yes, there are. Among these people is a young man surnamed Nie. His achievement should be the highest among all the ghost masters I have tattooed. However, compared to the goal I longed for, he is still far behind. Far."

As he said that, the old man glanced at Li Leping: "He may not even be as good as you at this moment."

"That's indeed a bit far away." Li Leping said.

"Okay, don't talk about me anymore. This tattoo parlor won't be open for a few days. Finally, I will answer some questions you want to know, and I should prepare to close the shop."

The old man waved his hand at this moment, not intending to continue talking about his past.

"Then tell me about this place in detail." Li Leping cut to the chase.

"Ugh……"

The old man sighed, and then fell silent for a while, as if recalling the past.

Afterwards, with a sigh of relief on his face, he began to talk about the past here: "Ghost Alley was a famous place in the past. It was said to be an alley, but it was actually bigger than ordinary people imagined. The alley connected all kinds of places. There are incredible places to grow, casinos, movie theaters, playgrounds, paper mills, all kinds of strange places, like my tattoo parlor, it can only be regarded as a safe corner in the alley."

Speaking of this, Shen Tian next to Li Leping moved his eyes slightly, as if he heard some words that touched his heartstrings.

And the slight touch of his eyes didn't attract anyone's attention. Everyone was listening to the old man continue to narrate: "It's a pity that time has passed, and the ghost alleys where people used to come and go have disappeared, and those who have large numbers of people in the ghost alley The ghost master of the site died earlier than me, and now I am the only one left in this place."

Li Leping spoke at this moment: "So this place is actually a large ghost domain, which is connected with various spiritual places?"

As soon as he said this, his face darkened involuntarily.

It's like pulling the tail of a small fish when catching a fish, only to find out that the tail of the small fish belongs to a whale after pulling hard.

A ghost alley connecting various mysterious places, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find people.

"That's what it means." The old man nodded.

"Then where does the No. [-] College of Daha City correspond to this ghost alley?" Li Leping continued to ask.

The purpose of his traveling all the way to Daha City was to find the missing He Xueyan.

Before He Xueyan disappeared, the last signal left by the satellite positioning mobile phone showed that she disappeared in the First College.

Judging from the current situation, she should have been involved in this so-called ghost alley.

Not only He Xueyan, but also the missing citizens in this block were also involved in this ghost alley that suddenly got out of control.

"The First Academy?"

The old man seemed to be carefully remembering the location of the ghost alley corresponding to that place.

However, after a while, he shook his head and said, "I know the location of the First Academy in reality, but if you ask me where the First Academy corresponds to this place, I can only say that I don't know."

Not sure?
Upon hearing this sentence, Li Leping's already stiff and numb face suddenly became even more ugly: "There will always be a corresponding location in reality in the spiritual place, but now you are telling me that you don't know the corresponding location of the First Academy. s position?"

The old man saw that he looked a little unfriendly, but he still didn't rush to answer, but picked up the kettle on the table without haste.

Afterwards, the old man tilted the spout slightly and poured water directly onto the table.

The water fell on the table, and then began to overflow in all directions erratically.

And the old man didn't pour too much water on the table, seeing the water stains on the table had flowed everywhere, he put down the kettle.

"Just treat this puddle of water as the original ghost alley."

The old man pointed to the water stains that had fallen on the table.

Then, he stretched out his skinny fingers and fiddled with the pool of water stains, making the water stains that were not formed even more chaotic, like a tree trunk growing various complicated and chaotic things. The branches are intertwined with each other, and it is impossible to tell what they originally looked like.

"And this is the ghost alley now." The old man said.

Seeing this, Li Leping's gaze flickered, and he understood what the old man meant: "You mean, as the ghost alley goes out of control, the places where the ghost alley leads to will also be disrupted, so you can't know the meaning of the first college. Where does it correspond to the location in the ghost alley?"

The old man grinned: "Children can be taught. There are limits to the operation of all mechanisms, and the operation mechanism formed by supernatural beings is no exception, and the impact of loss of control will only be greater."

"Then where is the corresponding place of the First Academy?"

It is impossible for Li Leping to give up easily because of the old man's ignorance.

Even if the old man claims that this ghost alley has become chaotic, Li Leping plans to try his luck at the original corresponding place of the First College.

"Young man, it's not that I'm pessimistic as I get older, it's just that this place has indeed been in trouble for a long time. The reason why all of you can come here alive is because I'm still alive, and secondly because Jiang Hao is leading the way for you. , the tattoo on his face is equivalent to a tool to guide the way, allowing you to come to me through that alley, and that alley is also the passage I left for those ghost masters with tattoos on me, the purpose is to let When they're looking for a breakthrough, they can come to me and find an opportunity."

"If I happen to have a ghost that suits them here, I will tattoo them with ghost tattoos to help them achieve a spiritual balance."

"But that friend of yours may not be so lucky. No matter where she was pulled in by the ghost alley, in this haunted place, there is a high probability that she is already dead, and the body cannot be found. kind."

The old man spoke very bluntly, as if he didn't want Li Leping to take this unnecessary risk.

"You don't have to worry about whether she is dead or alive. You just need to tell me the answer to the question just now." Li Leping still asked.

"Ugh."

The old man sighed, and then said: "If you want to go to the location corresponding to the First College, then I think you should give up, because that place originally corresponds to the wall of the ghost alley, in other words, if a living person is in that place If the location is involved in the ghost alley, then she will only be embedded in the wall, which means that there will be no bones left as I said."

"It seems that she is not so unlucky. As you said, there is something wrong with the ghost alley, and the internal layout has been disrupted. She is not embedded in the wall, but is still alive." However, at this time, her expression was as usual. But Li Leping spoke surprisingly.

"Oh? Can you confirm whether she is alive?" Looking at Li Leping, whose expression did not change, it was not difficult for the old man to come up with this hypothesis.

"Of course, otherwise, why should I persist in finding her?" Li Leping asked retortly.

"It's amazing, it seems that the means you have are also extraordinary." The old man praised.

"To each other." Li Leping said expressionlessly.

Seeing this, the old man nodded slightly: "Okay then, I don't dare to talk nonsense in other places, but in this ghost alley, I can tell you a way to determine your friend's location."

"Then don't be a riddler, speak quickly." Li Leping said.

"Is it worth it? This place is so dangerous that I don't even want to set foot in some places. If you go like this, you will definitely have to go around, but finding someone in this ghost place is not the same as shopping. If you are not careful, the probability is Will die." The old man asked, puzzled by Li Leping's persistence.

"There is nothing worth it. You should be able to see that I am a person who is not easy to be remembered. There were not many people who knew me, and not many people have died in these ghost years. Now For me, it’s about being able to save one and not giving up one.”

Li Leping's tone was calm, but revealed an unusual firmness.
