The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 453 Lucky, Unlucky
"Crench--!"

With the opening of the tattoo parlor's door, a faint blue light illuminates first.

Li Leping and Shen Tian walked out from the door, and looked around again.

This is still the dark alley with no light, and there is a strange cold atmosphere around it.

Looking deeper into the alley, you can only see a fog-like darkness.

The line of sight was blocked, so that the eyes could not observe what was hidden in the darkness at all, and even the slightest sound could not be heard.

"According to what the old man said, the ghost alley is connected to many supernatural places, then it means that those supernatural places were also built in Daha City. In other words, the actual area covered by this alley is actually exaggerated."

What this means, Li Leping and Shen Tian are very clear.

In such an out-of-control ghost alley, there must be many haunted places.

Although the two haven't encountered real danger yet, it's because of their luck that they met a guide like Jiang Hao, and then brought them to the only normal place left in the ghost alley.

And those ordinary people who were accidentally involved in the ghost alley, were pulled into such a strange place without any preparation, and now they are probably almost dead.

"Damn, I grew up in Daha City. I've been here for more than 20 years, but I didn't realize there was such a ghostly place in Daha City."

The more Shen Tian thought about it at the moment, the more he had a headache.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone to have such a big hidden danger suddenly exploded in his own territory.

"Did you really not notice it at all?"

But at this moment, Li Leping turned his head slightly, pointing out something.

"Captain Li, what do you mean by that?"

The moment Shen Tian heard these words, his body paused subconsciously. Although the pause was short, Li Leping could still see the guilty conscience that flashed in his eyes.

The keen observation skills honed from many supernatural events are not covered up. Even though Shen Tian hid it well, Li Leping still noticed some clues.

"Let me start with talking, how much do you really know about the situation in Daha City, and how much information are you willing to tell me? I don't care about these things now, and I don't want to entangle with you at this time. But since you choose Come out with me, then the next thing will follow my arrangement."

Li Leping, who was in a hurry, didn't want to waste time emphasizing any disciplinary issues at this time, he just gave a slight warning: "If you are unwilling to obey, or have other opinions, then I will not force others to be themselves Unwilling, but in the same way, if you are of no value to me, then there is no need for me to drag a sandbag in the midst of supernatural events."

Li Leping held the ghost fire lantern in one hand, and waved the other hand outward, signaling to Shen Tian that if he has any dissatisfaction or has his own little plans, he should go to this area shrouded in flames by himself, and don't let him come to "please" in person. .

"Captain Li, let's stop making jokes like this at a time like this. Look, it's been another 2 minutes. Let's hurry up and find the person you're looking for."

The warning in the indifferent tone made Shen Tian's face change slightly, as if Li Leping's every word just hit his weakness.

But he quickly recovered his calm expression, and then he even squeezed out a flattering smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Leping, who had already warned him in advance, didn't say anything more at the moment.

At this time, he carried the ghost lantern and walked towards the depths of the ghost alley.

But soon, he stopped in his tracks, looking quietly at the weird scene in front of him formed by the interweaving of supernatural and reality.

At this moment, the faint blue light emitted by the ghost lanterns did not, as the old man said, could barely cover the area where a few people could stand.

It burned very vigorously, and the firelight penetrated through the human skin covering the surface, almost covering the road more than ten meters ahead.

But Li Leping is very clear that this high probability does not mean that what the old man said is false, but that he has not really penetrated into the out-of-control area of ​​the ghost alley.

Although it is located in a ghost alley, it is also the site of the scary tattoo parlor behind him.

When the old man in the tattoo parlor was still alive, no problems would be exposed in this place, so naturally the area covered by the light of the lantern would not be suppressed too much.

When the area covered by the lantern fire was suppressed and the coverage area was reduced, it meant that they had truly entered the ghost alley.

At that time, any horrible thing may hit.

But no matter what risks will be encountered next, there is one biggest problem in front of Li Leping.

That is the ability of the will-o'-the-wisp lantern.

The range illuminated by the lantern is the real area, while the area outside the range is the scene in the ghost realm.

This raises a big problem.

For example, at this moment, a wall appeared in front of Li Leping's eyes.

The towering concrete wall just appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air.

According to the corresponding relationship between the ghost domain and reality, there is just such a wall where he is now.

This is a wall in reality.

Originally, walking in the ghost domain would not be blocked by this wall, but the ghost lanterns just happened to illuminate it.

"I shouldn't have brought you here."

Looking at the modern concrete wall in front of him, Li Leping glanced back at Shen Tian.

If Shen Tian hadn't acted with him, then he could have forcibly cast the ghost domain while holding the lantern, just like the ghost with the ghost domain who was holding the lantern back then.

Under the influence of Huang Quan, any realistic scenes encountered along the way are unlikely to stop his progress.

Whether it's the fence or the iron gate, even mountains of swords and seas of fire can't stop Huangquan from coming and going freely.

"Uh……"

From Li Leping's cold eyes, Shen Tian read a look like he was looking at a weak chicken, but at the moment Shen Tian didn't dare to lose his temper at all, so he could only rub his face in embarrassment.

It feels bad to be looked down upon.

But the most uncomfortable thing is that he has no way to refute.

"Then how about... I go back the same way now?" Shen Tian asked.

"Forget it, come here."

Unexpectedly, Li Leping did not agree to Shen Tian's proposal to turn back.

He beckoned, motioning for Shen Tian to come in front of him.

Because he felt that Shen Tian still had room to play.

On the other hand, Shen Tian looked suspicious, with a look of fear in his eyes.

He always has a feeling that he is going to be a shield.

"Captain Li, do you want me to resist damage in front?"

Although Shen Tian was reluctant, he walked up to Li Leping honestly.

"Resistance to damage is not enough, but I am quite curious about the piece of paper inlaid on your chest. I guess that piece of red paper of yours should have the effect of driving away evil spirits?" Standing behind Shen Tian, ​​Li Leping said .

"Excellent, as expected of the captain of the headquarters, I only used the ghost's ability once, and you have analyzed so much."

Shen Tian gave a thumbs up backwards, but if his whole arm didn't keep shaking, maybe the impression would be better.

"You don't want to disclose your specific ability, and I don't force it. After all, I never like to force others to do things."

Hearing this sentence, Shen Tianxia consciously breathed a sigh of relief.

No ghost master is willing to reveal the ability of the ghosts he controls for no reason.

Even in front of the captain, this principle will not change.

However, before Shen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, Li Leping continued: "But if you encounter a ghost, it can't be regarded as me forcing you to do something."

"What do you mean?" Shen Tian's eyes widened instantly.

"literal meaning."

After saying this, Li Leping put a hand on Shen Tian's shoulder.

Through the clothes, the corpse-like coldness coming from the palm of his hand made Shen Tian shiver.

"I'll open the way, but if you meet or hear something wrong, you can figure it out."

Li Leping finished speaking.

next second.

A pungent burnt smell suddenly poured into Shen Tian's nostrils.

"Cough cough..."

And while he was coughing.

Behind him, a billow of scorched black smoke covered Shen Tian in an instant.

cold.

It's cold.

It was as if the thick smoke that came out after the fire was burning carried an extremely abnormal cold feeling, which made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was about to be swallowed by the smoke.

Subconsciously, he wanted to unbutton the clothes on his chest to reveal the red paper attached to his skin.

"Don't move around, this is my ghost domain."

But at this moment, a strange voice from behind stopped his behavior that almost caused internal friction.

"Ghost domain?"

Just as this thought flashed across Shen Tian's mind, the movements of his hands involuntarily slowed down.

It was as if for a moment he forgot how to raise his arms.

At the same time, his whole body was also wrapped in the thick smoke with a scorching smell.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force from behind began to push him forward.

Before he could react, wrapped in thick smoke, he just passed through the seemingly solid wall in front of him.

It all ended too quickly, and too easily.

"Don't stop, keep going."

Li Leping didn't take back the ghost smoke, he was still letting the ghost smoke wrap him and Shen Tian.

Because as long as he walks within the range of the ghost lantern, he will inevitably encounter various things from reality to block him.

Just like this.

A wall, a car.

Obviously he was walking along the weird alley in sight, but in fact, he and Shen Tian were in the ghost lantern and came to the real place corresponding to the ghost alley.

In this way, they pass through a certain house in a certain building, or pass through the middle of a car.

And in such a weird experience.

As the two continued to move forward, both Li Leping and Shen Tian felt that something changed around them.

The walls on both sides began to give them the feeling that they were expanding outwards.

It seemed that the narrow road under his feet gradually became wider at this moment.

"The change has begun, and it should be about to enter the out-of-control zone of the ghost alley."

Li Leping felt the gradually opening up environment, but he didn't feel any refreshment, instead he felt pressured.

The temperature in the alley also began to gradually become colder.

This place is a man-made spiritual place, which used to be specially used for ghost masters to communicate, but now it is a dangerous place where ghosts roam.

suddenly.

Just when the two took another step forward.

"Pfft!"

Without any warning, the faint blue flame inside the ghost lantern suddenly jumped up, and then it seemed to be suppressed by some invisible force, and the flame instantly dimmed.

In the blink of an eye, the light that had just covered more than ten meters in front shrank instantly, and the bottomless darkness ahead was like a pair of big hands, pushing the light back abruptly.

For a moment, the area illuminated by the ghost fire lantern was greatly reduced, and it could only illuminate a position less than half a meter around him.

The walls that formed the alley on both sides also disappeared into the darkness at this moment.

At this moment, the only thing Li Leping can see is Shen Tian who is in front of him and is held by his shoulder.

"what happened?"

Like a unicycle, Shen Tian, ​​who was pushed all the way here by Li Leping, finally realized that the bright light behind him was weakened at this moment, and the illuminated area was greatly reduced.

The darkness, which was still quite a distance away from the two of them, suddenly overwhelmed them, making people feel extremely depressed and frightened.

"Here we are." Li Leping said without any surprise.

Immediately afterwards, he glanced at the surrounding situation.

Can't see anything.

Right now, he is like a lighthouse on the sea. Although he has a light source, in this boundless place, the light always has an upper limit of illumination.

"It's really troublesome, what are you afraid of?"

What Li Leping hates the most is this kind of deep darkness.

Because no one knows if something will suddenly pop up in this dead darkness.

However, he did not stay in place because of this, let alone flinch.

His goal is very clear, first find the casino the old man mentioned, then find He Xueyan, and finally go back to the tattoo parlor, get back the short stick, and leave here.

"I don't need to solve this supernatural incident. I just need to find He Xueyan. In this case, I don't need to fight every ghost I meet."

After thinking for a while, Li Leping said to Shen Tian in front of him, "Get ready."

"what to prepare?"

Shen Tian was stunned for a moment, obviously he hadn't reacted yet.

"You will definitely encounter some unclean things on the road ahead. Lanterns are only the first layer of protection, and you cannot fully trust them. Therefore, you need the red paper on your body as the second layer of protection." Li Leping said.

"Captain Li, big brother, my dear brother, there is a price to pay for using supernatural powers, and...to tell you the truth, the red paper on my chest is also very unstable. I call it the lucky red paper, as the name implies. It can bring good luck to people, but how can ghosts keep you lucky all the time? It’s like gambling, you may win many times, but you only need to lose once, and you will lose everything.” Shen Tian was a little panicked road.

"It seems that you know this red paper very well, so how do you know its price? Is it because you have suffered a backlash, or because you have seen a ghost master who died because of using too much red paper? ?”

"Also, since there are lucky red papers, will there be papers that represent bad luck? For example, black papers that represent bad luck?"

Hearing this, Li Leping's expression was still very calm, and he even caught the negligence in Shen Tian's words, and began to gradually analyze the supernatural power he controlled.

"you……"

Shen Tian's expression changed suddenly when his shoulder was pressed. He wanted to shout "Don't go too far", but he felt how cold the palm on his shoulder was, and at the same time felt the oppression from behind. In the end, he could only show a trace of bitterness: "Brother, can you stop asking, I feel like you are going to strip off my underwear."

Today, Shen Tian finally felt the powerlessness of wanting to cry without tears.

This is simply more painful than fighting with ghosts.

He couldn't fight again and again, and the little trick he tried so hard to hide was seen through at a glance.

Especially when he heard the words "unlucky black paper", Shen Tian only felt his scalp go numb, goose bumps all over his body were aroused, and his heart even stopped.

If Li Leping was standing in front of Shen Tian, ​​he could see how terrified his face was at this moment.

Because the second ghost he controlled was indeed named "Unlucky Black Paper" by him.

Word for word.
