However, at this moment, Li Leping, who was standing still, had a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the three old buildings in his eyes, feeling a little incredible.
He found buildings in the community that were not affected by the smoke.
But the problem is, there are actually two such buildings.
One building is the first building on the left, and the other is the first building in the middle.
These two residential buildings are full of the atmosphere of the times, with mottled and old walls, and the iron gates at the entrance are in disrepair and cannot be closed.
The problem is, they are very clean.
In this ghostland surrounded by smoke and ghosts, they were spotlessly clean, extremely clean.
In comparison, the uppermost floors of Building No. 8 were somewhat contaminated with smoke and dust, and were so dark that the balconies and windows were blackened, making it eerie.
"Why is this happening?"
The scene in front of him made Li Leping stunned for a moment.
Why are there two buildings that are not affected by the smoke?
This thick smoke is not smoke in the physical sense, but smoke composed of supernatural beings.
A place where ghosts and smoke can be avoided. Even if there are no ghosts wandering around in the building, there must be some kind of terrifying supernatural being involved.
But at this moment, there are actually two such residential buildings in Mingyue Community?
Doesn’t that mean that there are problems with both buildings?
In order to verify, Li Leping crossed the path and bypassed the third row of residential buildings.
Only the fourth row and even the fifth row of residential buildings further away were stained with traces of black soot.
In Mingyue Community, only Buildings 7 and 9 are unique, and they are taboo places that cannot be touched by the smoke transformed by the supernatural.
"Li Leping, what should we do next?"
At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao behind him urged.
The burning smell wafting in the air became stronger and stronger.
It was like a person scorched by fire was slowly approaching them.
The thick smoke is approaching here, and getting closer.
It seemed like it was just for them.
They were targeted by ghost smoke.
"Go upstairs."
Li Leping did not hesitate. Standing in front of Building No. 8, he immediately turned around and walked towards Building No. 7.
He didn't know what was inside Building 7, but since neither Building 7 nor Building 9 showed signs of being eroded by the smoke, he could only choose one of the two and use this strange residential building.
Avoid the attack of thick smoke and check the situation inside on the way.
The ghost photo studio asked him to take pictures in Mingyue Community, and the target of the mission was probably in Buildings 7 and 9.
It's just that Li Leping couldn't determine which building was the target of the ghost photo studio.
Regardless of whether it is a modern community or an older community, in the final analysis, the building design is actually monotonous and unified. To put it bluntly, it is just one building after another, row after row, copied and pasted, and the design of each building is
The appearance is the same.
It is impossible to tell which building has problems just by looking outside the building with the naked eye.
There is only one sure way.
Go inside and check out the situation for yourself.
"Upstairs?"
Looking at the dim old building not far away, Zhang Xiaoxiao took a breath.
It was a gloomy residential building with not much light. The iron door at the door was still shaking, making a "squeaking" sound, like a monster opening its bloody mouth, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
"It's okay if you don't want to go upstairs."
Li Leping took off the ball of gold foil hanging from his waist and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxiao.
There is a will-o'-the-wisp lantern inside.
Li Leping said: "Take this lantern, you can try to see if you can escape from this ghost land before the lantern roasts you."
"I escaped, what will you do?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao stared at the lantern in his hand, but did not take it.
"If you escape, I should be safe for the time being."
Li Leping's answer immediately stunned Zhang Xiaoxiao, and his jaw dropped unintentionally.
He didn't expect Li Leping to say such a thing at all.
"What the hell?"
Li Leping explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no objection to you, but you should calm down and think about it. The balance between the inside of Mingyue Community and the outside of Mingyue Community has been going on for some time. It is impossible to say that as soon as we come in today,
It just happens to be a day when there is an imbalance, right?”
"Look at the layer of smoke outside, and then look at the white smoke inside your body, don't you understand?"
The reason why the balance was out of control was probably due to the white ghost smoke that Zhang Xiaoxiao emitted in order to protect himself when he and Fan Jian were fighting just now.
The smoke filled half of Mingyue Community, and a lot of it even spread outside the community and came into contact with the black ghost smoke floating in the air.
The evil ghost in the thick smoke must have sensed something, so he came here desperately.
After all, people are afraid, but ghosts don't care about anything when they sense their puzzle pieces.
"You mean...that ghost outside is eyeing my white smoke."
After a short silence, Zhang Xiaoxiao told the truth with a shocked expression.
It is now the early days of supernatural recovery, and Zhang Xiaoxiao has not actually joined a large ghost controller organization, so the information he knows is extremely limited.
Apart from his ghostly abilities, he basically knows nothing about supernatural things.
I didn’t even know that ghosts would actively look for puzzle pieces.
This is an instinct, a devilish instinct that is difficult to describe clearly.
Just like a headless ghost trying to find a suitable head to put on its neck.
Now, the thick smoke floating outside also wants to swallow up the white smoke in Zhang Xiaoxiao's body, or in other words, merge it together to give birth to a more terrifying existence.
That's why Li Leping said that as long as Zhang Xiaoxiao stayed away from him, he would be safe.
This was not because Zhang Xiaoxiao was being used as bait, but because Li Gui was already targeting Zhang Xiaoxiao.
The target of the ghost is him.
From the moment his white ghost smoke came into contact with the black ghost smoke, things started to get out of control.
At this moment, Li Leping's face didn't look very good either.
He didn't know if he was self-defeating.
Zhang Xiaoxiao entered the old city to help him deal with supernatural incidents out of good intentions.
However, no one expected that the ghosts in the old city would be so terrifying.
Moreover, it just so happened that among the two ghosts wandering around the old city, one was actually a fierce ghost that used smoke as its ghost realm.
The most troublesome thing is that now it is also eyeing Zhang Xiaoxiao, because the evil ghost in Zhang Xiaoxiao's body meets its needs for the puzzle.
"If I am targeted by a ghost, then as long as I escape within a certain range, the ghost may forget my existence and stop chasing me."
"But now..."
Li Leping glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was already stunned beside him.
It seems that he can't accept the fact that he is haunted by a ghost.
No matter how much rhetoric you say before taking action, most people will still collapse when the terror actually strikes.
After all, who dares to pat his chest and say that he is really not afraid of death?
"Stop putting on performance art here."
Li Leping stretched out his hand and slapped the dull-looking Zhang Xiaoxiao on the back, waking him up.
"It's not time to despair yet."
Li Leping's voice is not loud, but it is sonorous and powerful.
He is not a person suitable for comforting others, but in times of adversity, his words and actions have a strong uplifting effect and can rekindle other people's confidence in living.
"Hurry upstairs."
After saying this, Li Leping stopped delaying and immediately walked towards the residential building on the left, which was Building 7 of Mingyue Community.
