The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 457 Gambling Workshop No. 444

"Excellent, worthy of being a captain-level character."

Li Leping's calm words filled Shen Tian with emotion.

He also wanted to have the confidence to say such a thing, but judging from the situation of facing the attack of the haunted house just now, his experience in dealing with supernatural events is still too poor.

When a man and a ghost fight against each other, the winner can often be determined within a few seconds.

But just now, at the moment of life and death, he hesitated, and his reason was replaced by consternation and panic, which prevented him from taking immediate countermeasures.

If Li Leping hadn't helped him in time, I'm afraid he would have been swallowed by that horrible haunted house now.

A haunted house that can stare at the two people in the ghost lantern and see through the dividing line between reality and ghosts must be extremely terrifying.

"I have only been a ghost master for a few months. Although I have dealt with some supernatural events, the degree of horror is not at the same level as the current situation. The difficulty of dealing with a ghost is completely incomparable with dealing with a group of supernatural events. The difficulty of the land is comparable."

As he walked, Shen Tian pulled up the zipper again to cover the red paper attached to his skin, then touched the back of his neck and laughed at himself.

The scene of being frightened by the haunted house raid just now really made him feel a little ashamed.

"Experience and confidence are tempered, even for people who are born with the ability to eat in the supernatural circle. No one can calmly and calmly face all supernatural beings from the very beginning. It is like letting someone who has just become a ghost master It’s not long before the captains come here, I’m afraid their performance will not be much better.”

Li Leping is both comforting and explaining the facts.

He didn't blame anything, nor did he think that Shen Tian was a pig teammate.

After all, the alley in front of him was indeed far beyond what Shen Tian could handle.

"That's what I said, but Captain Li, have you ever encountered such a weird and supernatural event before?" After finally escaping, Shen Tian couldn't help asking curiously when there seemed to be no problem in the way ahead.

The title of captain of the headquarters is extremely mysterious to anyone who understands the supernatural circle. Even the person in charge of the headquarters can only know that there are such a group of characters under the command of the headquarters whose strength is obviously beyond that of ordinary ghost masters.

Among these people, some people's names are as loud as thunder, and just declaring a code name can deter countless ghost masters.

Some people act low-key, except for a code name and name, there is no extra information on the file.

Among these people, the weirdest one was a guy whose appearance was marked with question marks.

A person who only has a name and a code name, other than that there are some supernatural events recorded in the file that he has dealt with.

Then, there is nothing.

Not even a single photo.

Other captains could put a passport photo on the headquarters file, but his file photo was blank.

There is also the least information and intelligence about him, and even the records of the supernatural events he handled have not been updated for a long time.

It was as if his existence had been deliberately concealed by some mysterious force.

But the more so, the more curious Shen Tian will be aroused.

Who wouldn't want to know what happened to a guy who didn't seem to exist?
"I?"

Li Leping's face moved slightly when asked, as if recalling his past.

"I haven't dealt with too many incidents in the land of ghosts. The most dangerous spiritual incident I have encountered so far is the incident of borrowing ghosts a long time ago." He thought for a while, and then said.

"Borrowing a ghost?"

Shen Tian was stunned for a moment, as if he had never heard of this incident.

But then, as if he had found a key word in his vast memory, he suddenly realized: "When I was receiving training at the headquarters, I seemed to have heard of such a supernatural event."

"However, the teacher who taught us just mentioned this incident casually, and then skipped it, because he said that the level of this supernatural incident was too high, and it has been a long time since the incident, and the file has long been sealed. The level of confidentiality is very high, and he has no right to know too much."

"Oh? Is that so? Could it be that you dozed off in class and didn't listen carefully, so you didn't remember it for a while?" Li Leping asked.

"Of course not. What I said is true. You can check it out. When I was training, I got excellent marks in all subjects."

Shen Tian quickly proved himself, obviously he didn't want to lose face in front of the captain behind him, especially not to make him feel that he was not capable enough.

"That's pretty good, anyway, I haven't received any special training, I only know my own wild way." Li Leping said.

"Captain Li, you are now Versailles. If you are a wild way, wouldn't I just be heresy?" Shen Tian teased.

"Okay, stop chatting after you adjust your mentality. Seeing that you are still alive and kicking, it seems that your red paper didn't work just now?"

Seeing that Shen Tian still had the strength to tease, Li Leping was able to fully confirm his current state.

"It's not that the red paper doesn't work, it's because I haven't encountered any danger at all, so the red paper won't exert its ability. Even if the ghost is by my side, as long as the ghost doesn't stare at me or attack me In the case of an attack, there is not much difference between a piece of red paper and a piece of waste paper." Shen Tian replied.

He is very clear about his state at the moment, and he is also very clear that the attack just now did not trigger the lucky red paper to protect him.

This shows that the haunted house has not really applied the supernatural power to them.

"Avoiding one consumption is also a good thing for you."

Li Leping nodded slightly, and then said: "The next supernatural land should not be far from us, let's get ready."

He didn't like to talk too much, he just chatted with him for a while to relieve Shen Tian's tension and the fright he received just now, so that he could relieve his tense nerves.

And now that Shen Tian has recovered, meaningless chatting is useless.

Shen Tian also knows the importance of the matter, not only are the two of them not far away from danger, but they are still in danger.

Immediately, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, his eyes became vigilant again.

Speechless all the way.

Along the way, the two also saw many strange figures passing by.

Some ghosts had broken bodies, and the broken wounds continuously spilled blood, but even though the blood flowed all the way on the ground, even forming a blood-red strip, the ghosts still crawled forward on the ground.

Some ghosts were covered with a thick quilt. The red quilt seemed festive, but it also set off the terrifying color of the corpse covered by him.

Some ghosts simply carried a big sack, and they didn't know what was in the swollen sack, and they were dragged all the way like this.

However, these ghosts seemed to be passing by, and they didn't even notice that Li Leping and Shen Tian walked past them.

"The ghost fire lantern is still working. It's just that I stretched my hips a little in the amusement park, but there's no way to do it. The level of horror is too different, and the ability of the lantern alone is still too reluctant."

Li Leping, who was walking behind, looked at the ghost lantern in his hand.

The faint blue flame seemed to be alive, jumping and jumping among the lanterns, tenaciously emitting light.

The range of burning is greatly suppressed here, which not only reduces the range that the lantern fire can illuminate, but also makes Li Leping not have to bear too much use cost.

Along the way, after such a long time, he only felt that his palms were a little warm, and he didn't feel any burning sensation at all.

Continue to go forward do not know how far.

Another supernatural place connected by ghost alleys appeared.

It was the outline of a building hidden in the darkness, and compared to the previous two spiritual places, this unknown spiritual place in front of me seemed to be older and older.

Because there are no electric lights around the building, but two red lanterns are hung on the door beams.

The light from the burning lantern was even more dazzling than the ghost lantern in Li Leping's hand, and the two bright red lights illuminated the outline of the building hidden in the darkness.

Gray walls and black tiles, the whole building has only one floor, and the windows are not modern glass windows, but windows made of old paper.

Looking through the window, there seemed to be no light at all inside.

However, just in front of the door of this weird building, a pole inserted on the side of the road is particularly eye-catching.

Because there is a flag with a red border and a yellow background hanging on this wooden pole.

Li Leping looked at the flag hanging on the pole by the door of this place, and the place name written on the flag made his eyes move slightly.

Casino No. 444.

"That's it."

After walking a long way and seeing two mysterious places along the way, they finally came to the gambling house that the old man mentioned.

The door of this gambling house is open, and there is a couplet posted beside the door.

Shanglian: Every gamble will win, and the house will be full of gold and silver.

The second line: If you meet a blogger, you will win, and you will win money and profit.

Horizontal batch: Nothing to gain.

"It seems that Xiyi has done enough."

No matter what he said, Shen Tian's expression was sneering.

After all, if you don't say all the good things first, how can you facilitate the next bad thing?
Li Leping didn't care about Shen Tian's comments, and when he came to the door, he immediately looked into the casino.

It was pitch black inside, with no lights to be seen, and it was unclear whether the place was still in operation.

"Captain Li, what should we do?"

Shen Tian stretched his neck forward, and after seeing the dead silence in the gambling house, he couldn't make up his mind.

In such a dark environment, who knows what is going on in this gambling house?
And when the situation is unknown, it is obviously unwise to jump in headfirst.

But right now.

The behavior of the two stopping outside the door seems to have attracted the attention of something weird.

"Whoosh-!"

Suddenly.

A cold breath rushed towards the face, and the flag in front of the door also fluttered, making a "squeaky" sound.

Immediately afterwards, as if the dark casino had reopened, a light suddenly lit up.

That kind of light is not the light of an electric lamp, but more like the light of a candle when it is burning.

One of the burning candles was behind the wall, so that the two people in front of the door couldn't see how the candle was burning.

But even so, they could clearly see the situation inside the casino through the burning candlelight.

Immediately, Shen Tian, ​​who was looking into the room, opened his eyes, as if he saw something creepy.

There are many gambling tables in the room. It is said that they are gambling tables, but they are actually many old round tables.

And on each gaming table, there is a burning candle.

What made Shen Tian's scalp tingle the most was that there was a person sitting next to every gaming table in his sight.

No, that's not a person.

To be precise, it was not a living person.

They were paper figurines painted in blue. The faces of the paper figurines had facial features drawn with pen and ink, and a layer of bright blush was deliberately applied on both sides of the cheeks, which looked extremely weird.

The paper figurines are all wearing a black mandarin jacket and a black round cap on their heads, just like the servants in the gambling workshop during the Republic of China.

The paper figurines by the table and the burning candles all seem to imply that these candles are lit by these paper figurines.

"Damn, it's kind of scary."

Shen Tianxia took a step back consciously.

Because he always felt that those vivid paper figures seemed to be looking at him.

"Go in and have a look."

However, at this moment, a strange voice behind him urged him to go to the store.

"Are you sure? Captain Lee."

Shen Tian stared at those people made of paper, feeling a little apprehensive.

What he is most afraid of is this kind of thing that looks like a person but is not a person.

Don't know who came up with the idea of ​​making these damn things.

It looks normal, but nothing is normal at all.

Li Leping also felt the strangeness of this place.

He looked at the paper figurines sitting motionless on the stool by the table, and suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

It seems that these paper figurines contain some kind of terrifying supernatural powers, but because they have not yet triggered the taboo of the gambling house, these paper figurines look relatively normal.

But if once the taboo of the gambling house is touched, then these paper figurines will definitely show their horror.

But even so, Li Leping still did not intend to retreat.

They have already arrived at their destination, how can they be scared off by some god-faced things?

But just when he exerted force in his palm, he was about to push Shen Tian forward by force.

"Let's gamble."

A voice that sounded like a hawker suddenly and strangely came out of the casino.

Like a casino owner trying to drum up business.

However, this strange voice surrounded his ears, but it only made people feel an abnormal coldness, as if there was a corpse lying on his shoulder, whispering in his ear.

"Are you kidding me? Did the ghost speak?"

Shen Tian also heard this voice, and his whole body tensed up instantly, with a face full of panic overturned, his eyes fixed on the paper figurines in the casino.

But soon, he was startled and jumped in place.

Because at this moment, those paper figurines sitting motionless by the table seemed to be summoned, and turned their paper heads at the same time to look at the two people outside the door.

The drawn eyes seemed to be staring at the two at the same moment.

"Let's gamble."

Soon, that voice appeared again, still sounding so cold, without any change in tone.

"thump!"

But at the moment when these words came out, all the paper figurines in the casino stood up at the same time, their movements were blunt, and they did not have the flexibility of human limbs at all.

A pair of eyes that do not belong to the category of human beings just stared at Li Leping and Shen Tian outside the room.
