The distribution plan for the four ghosts has been discussed.
Li Leping took away the sleepwalking ghost, the blood-lettered ghost, and the ghost smoke.
As for the half of the ghost, it was left to Li Jun, or to be precise, to Wang Xiaoming.
Half of the ghost shadow that was suppressed on the wall was quickly covered by Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp fire, and was then trapped in the fire mass by the ghost realm.
At this moment, everything in the old city has returned to its original state.
Although the streets were still so desolate and there was not a single living figure, there was no longer the choking soot and the cold and strange smell.
Moreover, I don’t know when the blackened walls returned to their old and mottled appearance, but all the black soot on them disappeared.
Not only have the walls returned to their original appearance, but even the pitted dirt roads and low telegraph poles have lost even a trace of soot.
Even the green plants that were dead due to smoke had no trace of the thick smoke that originally adhered to them.
The old city seemed to have returned to the moment before the ghost smoke spread.
Everything is so old, but everything is so normal.
It was as if there was no thick smoke at all before, let alone any will-o'-the-wisp smoke.
"The source of the ghost smoke is imprisoned. Has the soot created by the supernatural also disappeared?"
After watching the situation around him for a while, Li Leping immediately came to a conclusion.
The thick smoke flying in the old city is not physical particulate matter, but a kind of soot made of supernatural beings.
But as the ghost smoke was imprisoned by Li Jun's will-o'-the-wisp, when the floating thick smoke lost its source, it naturally disappeared.
Only the withered trees and dead plants placed on the balconies of each house can indicate that this was once an area covered by thick smoke.
"The Ghost Zone has been dealt with. When will you and Wang Xiaoming return to Dajing City?"
Li Leping looked at Li Jun and issued an order to expel the guests.
He is not a person who picks up the bowl to eat and then puts the bowl down to scold his mother.
Li Jun helped him once, of course he would remember it in his heart.
However, fundamentally speaking, Li Leping did not want Wang Xiaoming to stay in Dachuan City for too long.
There is no reason, I just think that Wang Xiaoming can always do some fancy things.
Li Leping didn't want Wang Xiaoming to give him the whole big job in Dachuan City. After all, this was the city where he lived, not Wang Xiaoming's laboratory.
However, Li Jun glanced at Li Leping and then said: "It's not time yet, Professor Wang said he will come over here later."
"Um?"
Li Leping's expression suddenly darkened.
He didn't expect that Li Jun would say such a thing to him.
"What do you mean? What is Wang Xiaoming doing here?" Li Leping asked doubtfully.
He dare not say that he fully understands the situation in the Menggui District, but he certainly knows better than Li Jun.
"have no idea."
Li Jun took out another cigarette, lit it, then leaned against a light pole on the side of the road and took a deep breath: "Anyway, Professor Wang said that he needs to come over to deal with something, so I'll just wait here.
"
As soon as he said this, Li Leping's face suddenly became unhappy.
Obviously, Wang Xiaoming still has something he has not told Li Leping.
He concealed some information, and probably used the matter of sending ghost candles as a cover to arrive in Dachuan City smoothly.
"The four wandering ghosts have been dealt with, so what do you mean by 'Professor Wang's matter'?"
It is not that Wang Xiaoming has never done something self-defeating, such as the Huanggang Village incident in Li Leping's memory.
Yang Jian took a file modified by Wang Xiaoming and entered Huanggang Village, but was almost killed by the ghost inside.
Maybe Wang Xiaoming is a genius in supernatural research, but the word "supernatural" itself is extremely unstable.
But Wang Xiaoming always wants to "give it a try".
Because in his view, although supernatural beings are dangerous, dangers and opportunities always coexist.
As long as there is an "opportunity" side and the return on this side is higher than the risk, then Wang Xiaoming will definitely choose to try it.
But the price is that people are likely to die during the experiment.
And it's not just ordinary people who die, even ghost masters may die inside.
Thinking of this, Li Leping's voice became a little lower and he warned: "Li Jun, I'm quite easy to talk to."
"But tell Wang Xiaoming not to cause trouble in Dachuan City. Otherwise, no matter how much the headquarters attaches importance to him, if I dare to mess with people involved in supernatural beings in Dachuan City, I will kill every one I see."
If Wang Xiaoming insists on staying in Dachuan City, then no matter how unwelcome Li Leping is, he will not be able to kill him directly. At most, he can only turn a blind eye, close one eye, and pretend that this person does not exist.
But if Wang Xiaoming is dishonest and wants to conduct some kind of test in Dachuan City, then Li Leping can only say: "Don't blame me for being rude."
Especially at times like this.
Although the four fierce ghosts wandering on the surface of the Menggui District have all been imprisoned, Li Leping remembers clearly that when he first explored the center of the old city, that is, the ancient Mingyue Community, he saw with his own eyes that in Mingyue Community
There are two old residential buildings that were not affected by the smoke and dust from ghost smoke.
In other words, there are more powerful supernatural beings inside these two buildings, so that the ghost smoke floating in the old city does not even dare to enter Mingyue Community, and at most only dares to wander around the periphery.
However, now the source of the supernatural in Building 7 has been found by Li Leping, and it should be the imprisoned sleepwalking ghost.
However, he still knew nothing about the situation in Building 9.
What could be hidden in Building No. 9 that even Gui Yan would not dare to touch?
There is no way to know.
But now, Wang Xiaoming said that he would come to the Menggui District again.
Such behavior would force Li Leping to think more.
What if Wang Xiaoming wanders around and stirs up something taboo?
Do you still have to deal with it yourself again?
Listening to Li Leping's warning and even threatening tone, Li Jun did not get angry, but chose to take a puff of his cigarette in silence.
He knows that he is the one at fault.
The matter was taken care of, and the things that should be taken were taken, but he stayed here and refused to leave.
It is normal for Li Leping to express dissatisfaction with this.
However, what you think in your heart is one thing, and what you say verbally is another matter entirely.
Faced with Li Leping's warning, Li Jun just shook his head after taking a puff of cigarette: "Whether you are warning or threatening, I don't know exactly what Professor Wang is going to do. I am only responsible for protecting him. As for other things, I don't know."
Things like that are not my business."
"oh?"
Li Leping was very dissatisfied with this answer.
"That's nice to say, but this is Dachuan City, the city I'm responsible for. Wang Xiaoming, a scientific researcher, came to the Menggui District, but he didn't say hello to me."
"So, no matter what he wants to do, I will not agree to it. Besides, the place he wants to come to is still a ghost zone." Li Leping took a step forward, stood next to Li Jun, and whispered.
If people like Wang Xiaoming want to do something, it must be something related to supernatural beings.
And Li Leping will never allow any uncontrollable human factors to appear in Dachuan City.
Even if this person is Wang Xiaoming, who is regarded as a treasure by the headquarters.
At this moment, his body exuded a faint cold aura, and it had a tendency to spread outwards.
Precisely because he has the memory of the mysterious resurrected world, Li Leping is very clear about Wang Xiaoming's ambition, and also knows what a ruthless heart is hidden under this superficial ambition.
Wang Xiaoming is a very rational person, and he will even be indifferent to anyone's life because of this rationality.
In front of him, a person's life is not necessarily fate, but a measure of value.
In Wang Xiaoming's eyes, as long as someone's sacrifice is conducive to solving the supernatural incident, that person will inevitably be sacrificed.
But the problem is, no one wants to be the victim, and Li Leping is no exception.
Moreover, Li Leping also didn't like people keeping secrets under his nose.
There is no guarantee of supernatural things. Who knows if Wang Xiaoming will cause another trouble this time?
Because of this, Li Leping is currently considering whether to overthrow Li Jun and let Wang Xiaoming experience the thrill of hunting for someone.
Just by doing this, even if the characteristics of the Forgotten Ghost mean that Li Leping will basically not be noticed, but Wang Xiaoming died in Dachuan City, and the headquarters are not idiots, they will definitely connect Wang Xiaoming's death with Li Leping.
At this moment, Li Jun on the side also felt the looming cold aura.
He knew what Li Leping meant, so he turned his head slightly and warned Li Leping: "If you want to attack Professor Wang, then don't blame me for turning your back on him."
"Are you sure you can beat me?" Li Leping said coldly.
"You can't beat me, and even if you don't fall out, I can't recognize you, but I have my mission, and I will never allow the mission to fail unless I die." Li Jun said.
He has made his position clear and decided to side with Wang Xiaoming unconditionally.
Li Leping glanced at Li Jun, who had a firm expression and kept looking at him with a menacing look.
He was thinking about what to do next.
But at this moment.
On the road in the distance, there was the faint sound of cars driving.
"come yet……"
Li Leping looked at the cars approaching on the road.
What was somewhat beyond his expectation was that there was only one car approaching, and it was not the RV-style car that Wang Xiaoming often took. There were no armored vehicles escorting him around. It was just a very ordinary car.
"Come alone?"
At this time, the ordinary-looking car parked casually in the middle of the road.
Any other time, this kind of arrogant parking method would definitely result in a ticket.
However, in this old city, no one will issue fines.
The car door opened, and Wang Xiaoming in a white coat stepped out of the car.
He was the only one in the car, and there were no other people, such as assistants or guards.
After getting out of the car, Wang Xiaoming's face was very calm and he didn't explain anything to Li Leping. He just walked up to him without saying anything.
Until this moment, he still didn't speak, still pretending to be a fool, and just looked at Li Leping quietly with his eyes.
Li Leping frowned slightly and said proactively: "Professor Wang Da, can you tell me now the real purpose of your coming to Dachuan City?"
He thought about it carefully and decided not to break up with Wang Xiaoming immediately.
Before fighting, it's better to talk things out first.
If it doesn't work, try again.
Wang Xiaoming did not reply immediately, but walked around Li Leping in front of him, looked at the normal city scene behind him, and then said: "Since you want to get to the bottom of it, let me get straight to the point. Actually, why are you here?
The reason, I don’t know what it is for.”
"Do you think it's appropriate to say this at this time?" Li Leping asked.
He thought he should take Wang Xiaoming to the best hospital in Dachuan City to check his brain and mental state.
I asked you, and then you told me, you don't know either.
Then what do you want to do by running to this weird place?
Fly a kite?
Wang Xiaoming said seriously: "No, I am telling the truth. I came here not because I wanted to come, but because someone asked me to come."
"Who?" Li Leping couldn't help being surprised.
Who can ask a person of Wang Xiaoming's level to come to this kind of dragon pool and tiger's den?
The key is that Wang Xiaoming was really willing to come, and even came alone after he and Li Jun dealt with the four ghosts, without even a single guard around.
This must mean that the person who asked Wang Xiaoming to come here not only has a very high status in the headquarters, but also has a high voice in Wang Xiaoming's heart.
Wang Xiaoming may not necessarily abide by what the senior executives at the headquarters say.
However, as soon as this mysterious man opened his mouth, he didn't even tell Wang Xiaoming the reason, but he was able to drive him to come alone without any hesitation.
He didn't bring any bodyguards, only Li Jun was waiting for him, and even Li Jun didn't know the reason why Wang Xiaoming came here.
This shows that in Wang Xiaoming's heart, things in the old city are absolutely confidential.
"Could it be..." Suddenly, Li Leping seemed to have thought of something.
At the same time, Wang Xiaoming said: "There is an old man at the headquarters. He asked me to come here and said that I can get answers to some questions and obtain some resources. These resources will be beneficial to the development of the supernatural era."
He looked at Li Leping, who was standing in front of him like a goalkeeper, and knew that he had to reveal some information this time.
Otherwise, according to Li Leping's character, even if he and Li Jun were not beaten to death, they would definitely not be allowed to enter the old city.
"Old man, is that the old man named Qin?"
Through the information disclosed by Wang Xiaoming and some of his own memories, it was not difficult for Li Leping to figure out the identity of this "old man".
To have such a status in the headquarters, the most important thing is the person who can convince Wang Xiaoming with just one word. Apart from the old man named Qin from the Republic of China, Li Leping really can't think of anyone else.
Just, why?
Why the old city?
"Is it related to Building No. 9?"
Suddenly, Li Leping began to guess in his mind.
Li Leping thought that Mr. Qin's character was unpredictable.
But one thing is certain, that is, Mr. Qin will never lie to Wang Xiaoming.
Since Mr. Qin asked Wang Xiaoming to come to Dachuan City and come to the old city, it means that there must be something key in the old city.
As for where exactly...
In the old city, the only places where Li Leping confirmed that there were supernatural phenomena were Building 7 and Building 9 in Mingyue Community.
Although Room 301 in Building 7 is extremely weird, like a man-made cage, the sleepwalker inside has been imprisoned by him.
Then, unless there is something else in Building No. 7 that Li Leping has not discovered, then only Building No. 9 has a problem.
"Who is the old man you are talking about?" Li Leping asked.
Wang Xiaoming shook his head and was unwilling to answer: "I can't tell you. If you have a chance, go to the headquarters in person and maybe you can get to know him."
Not getting the answer to this question, Li Leping did not choose to embarrass Wang Xiaoming, but changed the question: "Then when you come here, you must have a specific address. The old city is so big, are you planning to go with Li Jun?"
Can you find the door to each room?"
"Yes." Wang Xiaoming did not hide it anymore, but gave the address.
"Dachuan City, Mingyue Community, Building 9, Building 301."
