The old woman didn't reveal much about the principle of the basket, and Wang Xiaoming chose not to ask any more questions.
"Okay, if you have no other questions, you can leave with the basket. From now on, on the first of every month, when someone comes to the door, they will see the same bamboo basket." The old woman looked at it with a smile.
Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming stood up and picked up the vegetable basket that looked ordinary but was actually filled with countless scapegoats.
"Although thank you is worthless if you say it too much, but I still want to thank you for lending us a helping hand at this time."
He had already gotten the answer during his trip to 301. Although this answer did not allow him to completely solve the supernatural incident immediately, it made him understand that the path he had chosen was the right one.
Now, after getting answers and important supplies, it's time for him to say goodbye.
No matter how the supernatural in this era will end, but at present, the supernatural events have not yet been solved.
Wang Xiaoming knew that there were still many things waiting for him to do. Only when the day came that he could no longer hold the pen, could he lie down and rest peacefully.
"You stay for a while."
Suddenly, the old woman spoke again.
Her dim eyes looked at Li Leping.
"Um?"
Li Leping immediately stopped his movements in the middle of standing up and sat back on the chair again.
Wang Xiaoming seemed not to hear it, picked up the basket and walked towards the door of 301.
He knew that this old woman had something to say to Li Leping.
As for what he was talking about and what secrets it involved, Wang Xiaoming didn't care.
There are always secrets hidden between people. He has neither time nor inclination to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
He only needs to confirm that Li Leping is on the side of the headquarters. On this basis, Li Leping can do whatever he wants.
Wang Xiaoming walked to the door and when his hand was already on the handle, he suddenly turned his head and said to Li Leping: "From now on, on the first of every month, you will be responsible for picking up the vegetable basket here. As for where to hand it over, I will tell you later.
I’ll let you know again.”
This is the best arrangement.
The existence of the scapegoat and the old man must not be revealed, so the reception of supplies can only be done by one of the three people present.
And this is Mingyue Community, located in Dachuan City, so of course, Li Leping can only be responsible.
Moreover, Li Leping himself is the person in charge who does not want the Ghost Controller Organization, including the headquarters, to intervene in Dachuan City.
Hearing this, Li Leping nodded.
His thoughts were exactly the same as Wang Xiaoming's.
Anyway, it’s just getting a vegetable basket on time, it’s not a hard job.
Seeing that Li Leping agreed, Wang Xiaoming opened the door and left.
Li Jun, who had never had a chance to speak, turned to look at Li Leping at this moment. He didn't say anything, but gave a wishful look, and then followed Wang Xiaoming and left Room 301.
Without any words of farewell or saying goodbye, the door of 301 was just closed again.
Now, only Li Leping was left in Room 301, which was still somewhat populated, and the old woman in front of him, who didn't know whether she was counted as a human being or a ghost.
The old woman's face still has that approachable look, but because of her age, the skin folds on her face caused by muscle relaxation always reveal an indescribable weirdness, exuding a dull and dead air.
.
Even though Li Leping thought he was calm, he did not dare to look at him for too long.
Seemingly sensing Li Leping's nervousness, the old woman gently waved her hand, signaling him to relax: "Why don't you drink some water?"
Drink water?
Li Leping glanced at the cup on the table. The hot water inside was already steaming.
Although it is not stated explicitly, in a place involving the supernatural, it is better not to touch some things.
Not only Li Leping, but also Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun who just left thought so.
It's just that they didn't talk about it.
But now, Li Leping obviously can't escape.
I picked up the cup and took a sip. The taste was no different from normal purified water.
"You young people are sometimes too cautious."
The old woman saw that he was so hesitant to even drink water, so she smiled.
However, her eyes lingered on Li Leping's face for a while, wondering what she was looking at.
"It's never a bad thing to be cautious." Li Leping said vaguely.
Not wanting to discuss this topic too much, he said: "You asked me to stay for a while. Do you have anything to explain?"
This old man who had lived until the Republic of China specifically asked him to stay, and he would definitely not let him take a drink of water like this.
"After Qingshi Village, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon, and that you would make such great progress in such a short period of time."
At this moment, the old woman spoke, her tone full of relief.
"Heh." Li Leping smiled bitterly.
"You have also come from that era, so you naturally know that the so-called rapid progress is inevitable. Those who progress slowly will either die from supernatural events or be killed by the resurrection of ghosts in the body."
"Yes." The old woman sighed with emotion.
"However, even though I say that, it is amazing to be able to make such great progress in such a short period of time."
"You even controlled that ghost wandering outside."
The old woman suddenly changed the topic and brought the topic back to the old city.
Li Leping knew that the ghost she mentioned was the one looking for people wandering in the fierce ghost area.
"When I was in Building 701, Building 7, I encountered this ghost, another ghost that seemed to be sleepwalking, and a cloud of smoke. I almost died inside."
As soon as she mentioned this matter, Li Leping's eyes flickered and he took the initiative to talk about it.
He naturally respects these older generation of ghost masters who pacified the supernatural during the Republic of China and are still alive today.
However, things in Menggui District involve many aspects. In order to find out the truth, Li Leping stopped being too polite and proactively asked: "The layout of Building 301 in Building Seven is very similar to this one. It should be yours."
Is it handwriting?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This may be his only chance to ask questions.
After today, whether the door of 301 will be open to him again is another matter.
What he wants to know most now is the reason why the supernatural incident broke out in Mingyue Community.
"Yes, that ghost likes to wander around at night, so I caught it and threw it into that room. I turned on the light so that it would not fall asleep easily."
In one sentence, the old lady explained clearly the reason why Building 301, Building 7, Mingyue Community was born.
It's just to restrain that sleepwalking ghost, that's all.
"Then why do you put it alone in Building 701, or is there something else in that room?" Li Leping asked again.
The old woman shook her head: "There is nothing else in that room, only the ghost. In fact, I can lock it anywhere, the lighting is the key."
"Lighting can try to curb the killing pattern of the ghost. Coupled with the layout I made, what appeared in that room was the scene of 301 in the past. It was inherently supernatural. Even if the ghost would wake up from time to time, it would not be able to escape.
The door to that house."
"Actually, your idea is not wrong, it's just the opposite. You also noticed that compared to the 301 in the 9th building where you are now, the 301 in the 7th building lacks a lot of furniture, floors and other things."
"These furniture and room decorations are impossible to appear in Building 7, 301. You can guess the specific reasons."
Having said this, the old woman raised her head slightly, smiled silently at Li Leping, and threw the question back to Li Leping.
"Because the things in this room are all supernatural objects, and some are even..."
Li Leping paused, and then slowly said the word.
"ghost……"
"That's why you can't bring ghosts to 301 in Building 9, because this may cause the original balance of the room to lose control."
"So, you have opened up a new supernatural place, but that place is not so 'complete' compared to 301 in Building 9."
He seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but it was only at this time that he expressed his speculation.
At this moment, Li Leping's voice became a little lower when he spoke, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He didn't believe that an old man who had been dealing with supernatural beings all his life could keep the place where he lived so "clean".
The red-painted furniture in this room, the peeled-off patent leather walls, and the old patterned tiles on the floor all gave off an unsettling atmosphere.
God knows what these things originally looked like?
Maybe, maybe one day a human figure will suddenly appear in the wooden red paint sofa?
Or maybe, one day, many cement-covered hands will stretch out from the paint-stained wall, as if something is trying to break free?
I'm afraid that the things that Li Leping can see now are all supernatural beings that have fallen asleep temporarily, or have been suppressed, or even the ghosts themselves.
The old woman in front of me, who seemed to fall down at the slightest touch and lay down on the ground, could have blackmailed her for a hundred thousand yuan, has been living like this in this place surrounded by ghosts for who knows how many years.
But what made Li Leping even more curious was what the old woman meant by "past 301".
Is it possible that this old woman can bring the past scenes into reality?
"You are very smart."
The old woman nodded with satisfaction, but what frightened Li Leping the most was that she had no intention of refuting him.
That shows that his guess is quite accurate.
This seemingly peaceful room 301 is actually a room built by countless evil ghosts.
However, the old woman who has lived here for many years obviously doesn't care about these so-called evil spirits.
A ghost controller of her level is already a terrifying ghost in her own right, so why should she be afraid of the ghost in this room?
"In the words of us old guys, you were born to eat this bowl of rice." The old woman expressed her approval of Li Leping's unique talent.
"I don't know, if nothing happens, what achievements you will achieve in the future."
Li Leping was silent in response to the old woman's praise, and there was no joy on his face.
"So, what happened to the Fierce Ghost Zone... that is, the three ghosts that first appeared in the Old City?"
No longer worrying about whether the tiles under his feet could be a fierce ghost, Li Leping still wanted to know why the first three ghosts in the fierce ghost area appeared.
"An old guy buried these three ghosts here before, but unexpectedly, they were dug out by future generations using machines, that's all." The old woman explained calmly.
"old man?"
"A person who has died, just like Pang Shaochuan you met in Qingshi Village, does not need to know too much. This era belongs to you. No matter what the future results are, what you should do now is to
Look forward instead of looking back to understand us old people." The old lady laughed at herself but also had a hint of warning.
Li Leping agreed: "I understand, it's just that Zhang Xiaoxiao died in Mingyue Community, in Room 301, so no matter what, I want to know the cause of the outbreak here."
"That young man who was with you in Qingshi Village?" the old woman said with some pity, "I was not in Mingyue Community at that time. I took a ride to another place, otherwise, I could have stopped all this."
Li Leping didn't want to assume any "what if" because it didn't make any sense.
Just in time, he discovered that there was a mystery in the old woman's words, so he picked up the words and said: "How do you know that Zhang Xiaoxiao is the young man who partnered with me in Qingshi Village?"
You know, at that time, Zhang Xiaoxiao was not called Zhang Xiaoxiao, but took a pseudonym and called himself Lu Sheng.
"Every ghost controller has his or her own strengths. You are good at forgetting and making it difficult for people to remember, but what I am good at is seeing the past clearly." The old woman smiled kindly, revealing some of her abilities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "See the past clearly?"
Li Leping was a little confused and could only make guesses based on the words the old lady said.
The ability to see the past clearly may be similar to the feeling of playing a documentary, except that the past in the eyes of the old woman is not a documentary, but what actually happened.
However, Li Leping did not study this ability in detail. He heard the old woman take the initiative to mention his ability, so he wanted to ask for proof: "When we were in Qingshi Village, you seemed to see that I was controlling the Forgotten Ghost."
"At that time, I wanted to ask you. The picture that the Oblivion Ghost occupies in my memory shows that its body is that of a female corpse, and it is also wearing the clothes of the Republic of China. So I am very curious, do you know Oblivion?
Ghost, or is it the driver who knows the forgotten ghost?"
He remembered clearly that when he was in Qingshi Village, including just now, the Forgotten Ghost in him was subject to some kind of prying eyes.
The source of this gaze was obviously the old woman in front of me.
"The driver of the Forgotten Ghost..."
The old woman did not answer immediately, but took a sip of hot water silently. A few glimmers of light flashed in her eyes with drooped eyelids, as if she was remembering something.
At this time.
The old woman said: "Chen Mengyao."
This seems to be a name.
"Chen Mengyao?" Li Leping was stunned and repeated.
Is this the name of the last controller of the Forgotten Ghost?
"There is a big gap between the supernatural power of the Forgotten Ghost you control and hers. I don't know the reason for all this. The specific reason can only be explored by you, the driver."
The old woman did not hide it, but told Li Leping the part of the information she knew.
Her words confirmed that Li Leping's guess was correct.
The Forgotten Ghost itself is not complete, but has suffered some kind of dismemberment. As a result, while the level of terror has been reduced, its abilities have also been cut off.
