Li Leping was originally curious about Gu Li's current situation, but he never expected that they would meet so soon.
"Were you also suddenly pulled in by the ghost photo studio?" Li Leping asked.
"Um."
Even though the incident happened suddenly, Gu Li still had that faint smile on his face.
"I was still lying there in the ghost mountain area, but then the ghost photo studio suddenly appeared."
Looking at this ancient and strange building, it is surrounded by mist-like darkness. It is a strange place that cannot be illuminated by light. It seems that there is only such a building in this dark supernatural space.
"Ghost Mountain District?" Li Leping asked again, "So, you have completed the photo-taking mission?"
"It's done. It's just that the process wasn't smooth, so I took a few days to rest."
Looking at the closed rotten door, Gu Li urged: "Let's not say so much for now. Let's go in first. If you stay outside this damn place for a long time, it will be bad if something unclean wanders over.
"
Li Leping nodded after hearing this.
It is necessary to pay attention to this weird and supernatural place, especially for them who are still exploring the rules.
Open the door to the ghost photo studio.
The rotten wooden door made a sharp creaking sound.
Obviously, only four or five days have passed since the last time I came here.
But every time they opened the door, they were greeted by a smell that had been dusty for many years. It smelled like the musty smell of rotting wood plus a dusty smell mixed in the air, which made people feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, Li Leping and Gu Li walked into the ghost photo studio again.
The old wooden floor made a "creaking" sound when stepped on, and a damp musty smell filled the air.
The dim hall was barely illuminated by a few dim lights on the ceiling, but there were always some dark corners that couldn't be seen clearly.
It was so dark, like an abyss with no bottom, that people stopped there and didn't dare to explore further.
Directly opposite the entrance and exit of the hall is the walkway leading to the room corridor, but it is also where two huge black and white portraits are hung.
The huge black and white portrait, from the texture, can be seen at a glance that it is a photo rather than a portrait, but no one knows why this photo is hung on the wall above the aisle, let alone who hung it up.
How many years have these two photos been here?
"Don't look at my dad and that old man. They're scary."
At this time, Gu Li walked up and said to Li Leping.
This huge black and white photo belongs to two people.
One is his father, and the other is an elderly man.
But whether it is the photo of Gu Li's father or the old man, under the yellowing and dim light, it is made particularly eerie. The photo is blurry and somewhat unclear, and the person hidden in the dimness is
The expression of deathly silence was filled with an inexplicable strangeness.
No matter which angle you look at, the two figures in the photo seem to have their eyes fixed on Gu Li and Li Leping, as if they are peeping at them openly.
Even though Gu Li knew that the person in one of the photos was his father.
However, the familiar person appearing in this strange environment in such a strange way made him feel even more uncomfortable.
This is equivalent to someone finding his parents' wedding photo hanging on the bedside of the master bedroom in a classic bungalow that has not been occupied for a long time.
Even so, Li Leping couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two strange portrait photos.
But just when he turned to look at Gu Li beside him, Li Leping's eyes moved slightly.
Under the dim, yellowish light, Gu Li's skin color was also reflected a little yellowish.
But the scary thing is that from the angle Li Leping is looking at, there seems to be something vaguely hidden under Gu Li's skin.
It seemed to be a face, and it was a profile face. It didn't even look like a human face at all.
Because the facial features of that face are not a face that humans can have at all.
The color of that face showed a deep black color, which formed a sharp contrast with Gu Li's living skin.
Look at this face, it actually has lines and outlines, it's like... it was cut out.
"Shadow puppet?"
Suddenly, Li Leping thought of this thing.
Yes, that’s right, it’s shadow puppets.
Gu Li's side face looked like there was a shadow puppet hidden under his skin. It was illuminated by the yellow light at the moment. The exposed side face was not only black, but also outlined with lines.
The facial contours and facial features.
Because of the special performance method, shadow puppets are basically made from the "side" angle. Shadow puppets look at the shadow and only do it from the side. In this way, the face can be highlighted and the movement of the character walking back and forth can be better interpreted.
But that is a shadow puppet show, and the shadow puppets in the shadow puppets and the real people are not the same concept.
However, at this moment, Gu Li was standing next to Li Leping. From this angle, the shadow puppets hidden under Gu Li's skin looked like they were performing a shadow puppet show under the lighting.
This scene made Li Leping's scalp feel numb.
Although he didn't have much contact with Gu Li, Li Leping could guarantee that Gu Li would never be in this kind of situation during the previous meetings.
Even outside the ghost photo studio just now, Gu Li's profile looked relatively normal.
It seemed that only under the illumination of light could the shadow figure hidden under his skin be revealed.
But that's not the point.
The key point is how Gu Li got involved in this weird thing.
Also, is the current Gu Li really Gu Li himself...
"Um?"
Li Leping next to him was deep in thought, and Gu Li, who had not heard him speak, also turned his head at this moment.
As his head turned around, Li Leping naturally couldn't see the side of his face that was covered with shadow puppets.
"I know I'm handsome, but you look at me with such a look. It's so cool that I won't dare to let you walk behind me in the future."
While Gu Li was teasing, he also touched his butt with his hand.
These words sound very inconsistent with the weird atmosphere at the moment.
But Li Leping narrowed his eyes when he heard these words.
Gu Li is not such a narcissistic person.
He used this way to tell himself that his situation was normal, that he was Gu Li, not a ghost, and not a person possessed by a ghost.
It is impossible for ghosts to have such rich emotions.
Of course, it is undeniable that Gu Li is indeed handsome.
"Shouldn't you explain what's going on with your face?"
Li Leping doesn't care whether someone is handsome or not.
After all, to him, it doesn't matter whether he is handsome, ugly, or plain-looking.
Anyway, no one can remember him.
Even Gu Li can't. He can only remember a general face at most. If he were asked to describe it in detail, he would definitely not be able to explain it in a long time.
"my face?"
Gu Li was not a fool, of course he knew what Li Leping was referring to.
If Li Leping hadn't noticed anything strange about him after being next to him for so long, he might have to wonder if Li Leping had some happy events recently, which caused his unusually alert personality to relax so much.
That's what he thought, but Gu Li didn't want to reveal too much.
He smiled and said vaguely: "It was a little accident. I accidentally got it while dealing with the ghost mountain area."
Li Leping did not accept such a vague statement, and said in a cold voice: "I don't trust what you said is so vague."
No wonder, Gu Li claimed that the handling process in Guishan District was not smooth.
Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not a matter of success or failure.
A person who is tainted with the supernatural is bound to be dangerous.
What's more, it's a ghost controller like Gu Li who has already mastered two ghosts.
For a ghost controller who has controlled two ghosts, balance is the most important thing. Although controlling new supernatural powers may extend his life, it is more likely that he will die suddenly on the spot.
But now, Gu Li has another supernatural power in his body. If he suddenly loses control in this ghost photo studio, wouldn't Li Leping be in serious trouble?
It is impossible for Li Leping to allow an unstable source of risk to exist around him.
"Well……"
Gu Li was very familiar with Li Leping's behavior.
He expressed his understanding, but was still reluctant to reveal too much: "Don't worry, I can still stabilize this thing now."
"I can't accept the loss of control of the supernatural even more than you. After all, if that happens, not only will I die, but it will also cause extremely terrifying supernatural events."
Li Leping stared at him without speaking.
Everyone has secrets, but if two people have secrets in their hearts, once the secret in one of them threatens the interests of the other, an inevitable chain of suspicion will arise.
The atmosphere suddenly reached a stalemate.
After a full ten seconds passed, Li Leping said: "Okay, I believe you once."
Someone has to take a step back.
The person who retreated this time was not Gu Li, but Li Leping.
There was no other reason than that Gu Li had helped him, and he was not an unkind person.
At least so far, Gu Li's words are still persuasive. This is proved by his own ability and is beyond doubt.
Because of this, Li Leping was willing to believe him.
Hearing this, Gu Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want to break up with Li Leping because of this matter, but his current situation was so special that he couldn't even explain it clearly.
Besides, it is better for ghost controllers to have some secrets, because his experience of in-depth investigation of supernatural events has made Gu Li very clear that even as a ghost controller, he has physical qualities beyond ordinary people's understanding, but his consciousness
Still extremely fragile.
It's hard to say how such a fragile consciousness will be manipulated by supernatural means.
Sometimes, if you want to know your secrets, you don’t even need to start with you, just start with the people around you...
Even, without using any torture methods, as long as you use some supernatural methods, you can pry out the answer to this secret.
After the matter about Gu Li's side face was explained clearly, Li Leping no longer paid attention to it, but turned his attention back to the ghost photo studio.
Although they have been here several times, they still know very little about the situation here, because they have not come into contact with a living person in the ghost photo studio since they climbed to the third floor, and the ghost photo studio cannot communicate.
, naturally they cannot touch the real secret of the ghost photo studio.
The only way is to keep climbing the stairs and keep going up. Maybe there will be a way to learn more.
But now, the ghost photo studio suddenly took the initiative and forcibly dragged the two of them into the photo studio.
why is that?
"Let's go upstairs."
Just guessing is not enough to find the answer, and Li Leping knows this very well.
Now that we are here, we can only go upstairs and take a look step by step.
Stepping on the old wooden floor, the two walked through the hall and came to the corridor with the room number plate again.
There is a straight corridor on the left and right sides, and the seven doors on one side of the wall symbolize the seven rooms on this floor.
No one knows what these small rooms marked with numbers are for.
But Li Leping didn't dare to try to stay in this room longer.
The operating mechanism of the ghost photo studio cannot be directly substituted into the ghost photo studio. After all, here, the new task is issued immediately after the previous task is completed.
Just go upstairs and find the new quest requirements in the hall drawer on the new floor.
There is no need to spend a night in a room and then find a mission letter from the post office the next day.
"But since it exists, there must be a reason for its existence."
Li Leping also doesn't think these rooms are just decorations.
It's just that he is currently unable to determine the specific purpose of these rooms.
The only thing he is sure of is that there must be evil spirits in the ghost photo studio. Although these evil ghosts have not yet appeared in the ghost photo studio, they will attack the delivery people when they try to fight against the ghost photo studio.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the corridor of the room, between rooms marked 33 and 34, an old wooden door appeared here.
According to previous experience, when the wooden door is pushed open, there will be a staircase. Up the stairs, they can go to the fourth floor.
Standing outside the door, Li Leping did not rush upstairs, but turned around and said: "Be careful, if anything goes wrong, just take action."
"I know."
Gu Li replied in a low voice, with a wary look in his eyes.
The sudden call from the Ghost Photo Gallery made the two of them dare not take it lightly.
It is impossible for this weird place to do something unprovoked. After all, supernatural beings follow rules.
"Okay, let's go."
After being warned in advance, Li Leping did not delay and pushed open the wooden doors of the two rooms.
The wooden door opened and made a "squeaking" friction sound.
At the entrance, there are still several wooden steps. Although it is a flight of stairs, when you look up from the steps, you will see that the farther distance is shrouded in a layer of darkness. The higher you go up, the darker the darkness becomes.
It's so deep that it's impossible to see clearly what's deep inside the stairs.
Without hesitation, Li Leping took the lead and walked up the wooden steps.
Gu Li followed him, always alert to the surrounding situation.
The darkness ahead obscured his vision, and he could only see clearly less than one meter ahead.
Suddenly.
Li Leping, who was walking at the front, narrowed his eyes.
On the steps of the stairs in front, a person suddenly appeared.
It was a man sitting on the steps, with his head lowered and his hair disheveled, making it impossible for people to see his face clearly, which made him feel extremely scary.
Moreover, this person's outfit resembles the style of the late last century, a white shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans.
