The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

The alley was dark and dark, only the two street lamps in front of the paper mill were stubbornly emitting faint light, reflecting the strange figures outside the door.

These weird figures were wandering in the alleys, they looked like ghosts wandering aimlessly, but they were actually ghosts coming out of a ghostly place.

However, Li Leping obviously didn't care about these ghosts passing by him.

He was carrying a lantern, and within the range of the firelight, he was relatively safe.

The only thing to worry about is Shen Tian who is also in the fire.

After all, staying in the flames for a while longer may trigger the danger of the lantern attack. At that time, Shen Tian might be burned into charcoal by the faint blue flames in the lanterns.

However, under the influence of the Forgotten Ghost, Lantern's law of killing was also temporarily suppressed.

The will-o'-the-wisp lantern, which has forgotten the law of killing, is just a pure lighting tool in Li Leping's hands, without any danger.

Only when it is out of Li Leping's control, as the influence of the Forgotten Ghost disappears, will the lantern show its sinister side again.

"Red high heels?"

After hearing the plot in Shen Tian's story, Li Leping couldn't help squinting his eyes, as if he guessed what Shen Tian had experienced.

"Correct."

The experience back then seemed extremely unforgettable to Shen Tian, ​​and now he can recall most of the details and nodded vigorously: "Captain Li, have you heard of *marriage?"

"*marriage?"

Li Leping couldn't help frowning when he heard these two words.

Because no one likes to talk about this kind of thing.

This in itself is an awkward topic to talk about.

And this kind of weird etiquette was quite popular until the period of the Republic of China. Some wealthy and powerful families would arrange this kind of marriage for the early deceased, and strengthen the mutual interest relationship through this special way of in-laws.

Of course, there is another theory, that is, in the old days, people were generally superstitious about "feng shui". They would naturally think that the appearance of a solitary tomb in a family grave would affect the prosperity of the family's descendants.

"So you mean, you're the one to be matched?"

Li Leping's eyes were dull and dull at first, but at this moment when he looked at Shen Tian, ​​there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of Daha City had such a legendary experience.

"Bah bah bah."

As soon as Shen Tian heard this, he quickly spit a few mouthfuls.

This kind of thing is not a good pairing.

No matter how beautiful the woman is.

"Actually, it's almost like that."

However, the next moment, Shen Tian touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and then continued to talk about the embarrassing incident at the beginning.

"At that time, I was only five or six years old. I didn't know about these crooked things. Although I heard some unlucky superstitious stories from my family when I was young, who would have thought that I would really encounter such a wicked thing. Moreover, although the folk stories told at that time were weird and related to everything, it was impossible for adults to talk about adultery in front of children."

"So when I saw such a strange scene at the entrance of the village, I actually didn't think much about it at all. Instead, I just fell in love with the 200 yuan under the shoe."

Cow.

Hearing this, Li Leping gave Shen Tian a thumbs up.

Shen Tian is very bold about things that others can't hide in time.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that the 200 yuan cannot be taken randomly.

If it's not relative, how can there be such a good thing as free money in the world?
Unless the other party really intends to make you his family.

Seeing Li Leping, who was usually as cold as a dead person, couldn't help giving himself a thumbs up at this moment, Shen Tian suddenly showed embarrassment, and wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

It's a pity that if we drill a hole in this place, people might disappear.

"Captain Li, you have to know, I was in the 90s back then, and 200 yuan could be considered a lot of money at that time, but if it is now, it is worth at least a few thousand."

However, Shen Tian's self-defense was not recognized by Li Leping.

Li Leping still looked at him with a pair of indifferent eyes, as if looking at an idiot.

"So, you took the 200 yuan?"

Seeing that Shen Tian became less and less emboldened, Li Leping, who still wanted to hear the follow-up development, also changed the topic at this time, instead of continuing to ask Shen Tian about Qian Qian's eyes.

After all, even if someone picks up 200 yuan in modern times, it may not be returned to the owner.

"It can't be said that it was accepted."

However, Li Leping, who wanted to bring the topic back, never expected that Shen Tian's next topic would still be about the 200 yuan: "The child was ignorant, so he kicked his shoes to the side, then picked up 200 yuan, and went home happily. He just thought he was lucky and the pie fell from the sky."

The child here is of course referring to Shen Tian when he was a child.

"After you go back, you should be beaten stupid by your parents, right?"

Li Leping's tone was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

"Actually, when I first came home, my parents were very happy when they saw me holding 200 yuan in my hand. As I said, people in the past were too poor, and adding 200 yuan can be regarded as a lot of income for our peasant family, so the first thing my parents thought when they saw me pick up the money was to put it away. Anyone who asks will answer that they have never seen it and don't know."

Saying that, Shen Tian shrugged embarrassingly, "But when I told the origin of the money, my father got annoyed on the spot, and he picked up the water-carrying stick and wanted to beat me. The beating made me very painful. Before, my old mother would stop me a little bit, but that time, she didn't dare to stop me."

"That's true. After all, you are too 'filial'."

Li Leping expressed his understanding.

There are so-called bear children in every era and every country.

Those who broke other people's windows with rocks, those who scribbled on other people's cars, those who deleted your game save files, those who smashed your hand-made models, scratched your screen, cried loudly in public places, and even threw firecrackers into the manhole cover, blowing up all the manhole covers on this street...

There are unscrupulous and annoying brats everywhere.

But Shen Tian was probably the only one in the world who sent "betrothal gifts" to his family.

"Then what happened afterwards? How did your family deal with it?" Li Leping asked.

"Later, my parents called all the relatives in the village, and it took me a long time to find out who put the candles at the entrance of our village.
As soon as he mentioned this, Shen Tian himself felt a little numb in his scalp, and his hands and feet became cold.

After all, he was almost able to wear red flowers on his chest and marry a ghost wife.

"Grandma, this kind of feudal dross, the more you think about it, the more unlucky you are. After a long time of trouble, in fact, it is to seek a psychological comfort for the living. This kind of self-imposed oppression on the dead has caused a lot of trouble. It is simply a sinful formalism."

Shen Tian became more angry as he spoke, and continued to criticize after clapping his hands: "I don't care about other places. If I see such superstitious customs in Daha City, I will directly use the authority of the person in charge to send all the family members of both men and women to the bureau for a few days, so that they can accept social transformation and learn some progressive ideas."

Li Leping didn't care about Shen Tian's personal thoughts.

He only asked: "So after going around for a long time, do you think this stack of wedding invitations is used to organize a wedding?"

"Isn't that so? You received this wedding invitation from a ghost. It's much more exciting than taking 200 yuan from the sole of my shoe back then."

Shen Tian was very sure.

"Actually, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Li Leping, who did not express any objection, picked up a wedding invitation at this moment.

"This……"

It was at this moment that Shen Tian's eyelids twitched suddenly, then his brows were furrowed and his lips were tightly closed, as if he had seen something that horrified him.

Li Leping picked up an invitation card. The front of the invitation card, that is, the side with black letters on a red background, was facing himself.

However, the back of the invitation was facing Shen Tian.

It was precisely because of seeing the back of the invitation that Shen Tian showed such a surprised look.

Because in his line of sight, the invitation he saw was not black letters on a red background at all, but red letters on a white background.

The background is pure white, but the word "囍帖" is written in red blood in the middle.

The same invitation, but the front and back are completely different.

The front is similar to the invitation cards that ordinary people have seen, and there is nothing strange about it.

The white background and red letters on the back of the invitation alone are enough to make anyone who sees the invitation startled, and even want to stay away, and dare not accept it.

Red and white, two colors with conflicting meanings, appeared on the front and back of this invitation card at the same time.

"According to culture, red represents joy and auspiciousness, so most wedding invitations are mainly red. As for the color of the handwriting inside, you can use gold, which symbolizes wealth and wealth. Gold letters on a red background are considered a tradition."

"However, red invitations don't have to be used these days. Other colors can also be used. In this era, even white invitations can be used normally. After all, white is no longer just referring to funerals as it used to be, but has changed into a holy and pure meaning that can be accepted by people."

"But no matter what, there can't be such a situation where red and white are on the same side in any invitation card. It is impossible for any normal person to make such an invitation card, let alone there are so many invitation cards like this right now."

While speaking, Shen Tian recovered from his surprise.

But after regaining his composure, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said as if comforting Li Leping: "Captain Li, you're lucky."

Bad luck.

But Li Leping's calm attitude towards this matter, with a deadpan expression on his face, made it impossible for Shen Tian to guess what he was thinking.

"Whatever, anyway, I have been unlucky a lot."

He just commented like this, and he didn't seem to care what these wedding invitations themselves represented.

"Captain Li, aren't you afraid?"

Li Leping's calmness immediately made Shen Tian ask tentatively.

"It's useless to be afraid. If there are any curses in these invitations, or if they will bring me any danger, or have any other special purpose, that will be a matter for the future. It's not my turn to be entangled here, and I don't need you to be entangled here."

"The most important thing now is to get out of here. You don't want to stay in this haunted place any longer?"

At some point, Li Leping rewrapped the oiled paper and turned around, planning to leave the paper mill.

This ghost alley is not safe. Except for the ghosts wandering in the alley, the path of the alley will change every hour.

Although the old man in the tattoo parlor didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to guess that if you still stay in the alley when the road changes, you may encounter some unexpected dangers, and you may even be distorted and changed along with the road, and die instantly.

After all, people are not twists and sponges, and they cannot withstand such distortions.

"Hey, Captain Li, wait for me."

As soon as he saw Li Leping turn around, Shen Tian quickly followed him cleverly.

But this time Li Leping didn't pull him to the front.

After all, it is very likely that the ghost alley will go further out of control with the out of control of the ghost hospital.

The posters floating from the Hell Cinema have fully demonstrated that the alley that has been walked through before is no longer as safe as it used to be.

Originally, there were alleys where ghosts roamed, but at this moment, there might be something more sinister wandering.

Something that can see through a will-o'-the-wisp.

Also because of this, this time is no longer suitable for Shen Tian to open his heart in front of him and use his lucky red paper to open the way.

The experience outside the amusement park and in the gambling house is enough to prove that the red paper stuck to Shen Tian's chest is not reliable, and it may even bring bad luck at some times, which will lead to the rapid deterioration of the originally uncertain situation, from the uncertain swing directly to the worst direction.

That being the case, it would be better for him as the captain to open the way ahead, and he can step forward to deal with danger as soon as possible, so that the two of them will not be attacked in a daze.

Soon, the two went together again and walked along the alley, before disappearing outside the paper mill.

And not long after they left.

The paper mill, which was originally quiet and dim, suddenly turned on lights at this time, and through the window, one could see strange shadows standing in the room.

"Crack, crack."

"Da da da."

The paper mill seemed to be working again at this time, with the sound of mechanical operation and the sound of feet on the floor.

Another ghostly place in the ghost alley resumed its operation at this time.

It's just that it's obviously not a good thing that these spiritual lands, which had been shut down because of the death of the manager, started to operate again at this time.
