Under Zhang Xiaoxiao's confused gaze, Li Leping opened the suitcase that was painted silver and took out a thick gold foil from it.
This is a piece of gold foil wrapped in layers, about the size of a person's head.
There is a supernatural item stored inside that can affect the ghost realm.
Will-o'-the-wisp lantern.
This is a supernatural item that Li Leping obtained while helping Gu Li, the person in charge of Daxi City, deal with supernatural incidents.
The designated location for the Ghost Photo Gallery is the central area of this city, which is the place called Mingyue Community.
But before he arrived at Mingyue Community, Li Leping encountered an unexplainable supernatural situation.
But this does not mean that he will change his destination or even retreat.
His purpose is very clear, that is, he must go to the place called Mingyue Community to take a look.
In the ghost realm, the will-o'-the-wisp lantern will be a good pathfinding item.
“what’s this?”
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned out of the car and said a familiar sentence in foreign language along the way.
"Don't ask, just get off the car and follow me."
Li Leping placed the ball of gold foil in his hand on the ground, and then peeled off the gold foil binding the lantern layer by layer.
A white lantern appeared in their sight.
Inexplicably, the surrounding air suddenly dropped a few degrees, as if there was an inexplicable cold breath lingering around them with the appearance of the lantern.
I don’t know what material the lantern is made of, but it’s definitely not an ordinary paper lantern.
It feels a little soft to the touch, but because it has been aged for a long time and has not been specially maintained, it still feels a bit astringent to the touch.
It feels a bit like some kind of leather.
Li Leping didn't know much about the genuine leather materials sold on the market.
However, since we can't tell, we can just assume that the lantern is made of human skin.
As for what was inside the lantern, Li Leping knew nothing about it.
Because the lantern is completely sealed.
Generally, lanterns will leave an opening at the top to facilitate placing candles.
However, the will-o'-the-wisp lantern in my hand at this moment has no seal.
"This thing doesn't need to be ignited. It should be fueled by some kind of supernatural power."
Looking at the unlit lantern that he placed on the ground, Li Leping began to think about it.
Time was tight before. He was either completing the task of the ghost photo studio or studying how to make the Forgotten Ghost crash.
I really don't have time to figure out how to use the will-o'-the-wisp lantern.
But based on my experience in Onishi City, this will-o'-the-wisp lantern should only light up when someone lifts it or comes into contact with someone?
"Give it a try."
Li Leping made up his mind and reached out to lift the lantern.
However, he did not directly lift the lantern with his own hands, but first let the ghost clothes spread to his palms, wrapping his entire palms.
Because he remembered that when he was in Onishi City, that is, after unplugging the lantern from the black figure, when he picked up the lantern, his hands were burned by an inexplicable high temperature.
At that time, Li Leping was still under the protection of the transferred ghost, so he only felt the burning sensation, but did not know what the consequences of being burned would be.
Because all the supernatural damage he had to endure was transferred away by the transfer ghost.
Having had this experience, he would naturally not foolishly lift the lantern with his own hands.
Ghosts cannot be killed, so it is best to take advantage of this characteristic and let Guiyi bear the cost of using the lantern for him.
And just when he stretched out his palm wrapped in ghost clothes, picked up the thin thread on the lantern, and lifted it up.
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who poked his head out of the car window, immediately held his breath and did not dare to make any sound.
Suddenly.
The originally quiet and ordinary-looking white lantern suddenly burst into flames.
The next moment, without any warning, the weak flames that appeared out of nowhere started to explode violently, as if someone had poured oil on them.
In the blink of an eye, the faint fire light jumped up and turned from a small flame into a fiercely burning flame.
A faint blue light began to emit from the lantern.
Then, the thin firelight turned into a dim blue light that illuminated the entire block.
The blue firelight was strange and dim, not dazzling.
But in the darkness, this only source of light is particularly conspicuous.
The blue fire quickly covered outwards, eventually covering a distance of about ten meters around.
And in the place covered by fire, incredible changes occurred.
Before my eyes, the illusory scene disappeared.
Instead, another street appeared.
This is a street that is also blackened by thick smoke, but Li Leping knows that this street is the corresponding location in reality, not an illusion constructed by the ghost realm.
"This is……"
Zhang Xiaoxiao in the car also saw this incredible change and was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
If you cast your gaze further away, you will find that at the junction of fire and darkness, there is an extremely strange and unexplainable situation.
The junction seemed to have a broken layer, that is, the street inside the firelight and the street outside the firelight were not connected.
At the edge of the firelight, a shop was illuminated. Although the name of the shop had been blackened by smoke, looking at the shutter door of the shop that had been closed, one knew that this was definitely not a residential building.
However, not far away, about ten meters away, one could see rows of old-fashioned residential buildings surrounded by thick smoke.
It is a five-story building with dense lines between the buildings.
This is an old problem in the old city, including in some alleys now. Various lines are mixed, and all lines are connected together, densely packed.
"Why is there such a situation?"
Reality and illusion are separated.
Inside the firelight is the real street, and outside the firelight is the ghostland street.
After Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a short time, he immediately turned his gaze and stopped at the lantern in Li Leping's hand.
The strange firelight swayed in the lantern. For some reason, the reflection of the firelight always gave people the feeling that the flame was alive, as if a person was being roasted by the flames, struggling to tear the lantern skin and run out from inside.
.
It was this lantern, or to be precise, the fire inside the lantern that caused this great change.
The fire exposed the illusion of the ghost realm and showed them the real side.
"Sure enough, the lantern has the ability to suppress the ghost realm. The range that this ability can affect is about ten meters."
Li Leping looked at the changes in the scene in front of him, and then looked at the white lantern in his hand.
The lantern seemed to have received fuel and could not burn out no matter how hard it burned.
Even vaguely, Li Leping could feel some kind of burning temperature passing through the ghost clothes and beginning to irritate his skin.
"Can't the ghost clothes completely isolate the lantern's supernatural power?" Li Leping said to himself.
"It's time to speed up."
Li Leping didn't plan to test the lantern's limit, because he felt that Guiyi might not be able to support it until then, and there would be signs of being suppressed.
At that point, he will be the one to bear the price.
There is no need to test the cost of using a lantern on yourself. As Li Leping walked forward, he patted the front door of the car and urged: "Stop looking, it's time to set off."
"okay."
Zhang Xiaoxiao also suddenly came to his senses, quickly opened the car door and got out.
