Gu Li's expression was solemn, finding it difficult to accept this fact.
No matter how many supernatural events he came across, Gu Li didn't know what to say when he saw Gu Chengjun's state at this moment.
"It's a replica body, but I used some methods before I died to transplant my consciousness into this replica body." Gu Chengjun said.
At this moment, Gu Li also understood that the man in front of him who looked exactly like his father was a supernatural creature who had possessed his father's consciousness.
Let the supernatural have the thinking of a living person?
If ghosts possess human thoughts, then does the ghost controller control the ghost, or does the ghost control the person?
Li Leping looked at Gu Chengjun, whose body was unnaturally gray. He looked like a person who stepped out of a black and white photo and did not possess any human physical conditions at all.
But it is undeniable that although such a body is difficult to be accepted in terms of social ethics, with all the supernatural incidents happening these days, who cares about social ethics?
When survival is a problem, abandoning the flesh and blood of a living person and transforming into an evil ghost may be a better way to survive.
This is a very bold and terrifying idea. The most important thing is that Gu Chengjun turned this idea into reality.
"So, what exactly are you now? A copy of my father? Or an alien with the memory of a living person? Or, is it my father?" Gu Li stared at Gu Chengjun with a low voice.
Gu Chengjun's face was still so cold, but he still replied: "It's all three."
"Borrow the replica's body, and then let the replica possess Gu Chengjun's consciousness and Gu Chengjun's memory. The replica is just Gu Chengjun with a changed body. It may be difficult for you to accept it now, but as your exploration of the supernatural deepens..."
Speaking of this, Gu Chengjun seemed to have thought of something and paused.
"Forget it, it might be better if you don't take my path."
He seemed to have thought of something, so he rejected what he wanted to say just now and did not continue.
Li Leping knew what Gu Chengjun was thinking.
No father would want his son to give up his human body and become a ghost like him.
The atmosphere was frozen again, and the hall was eerily quiet. Only father and son, Gu Li and Gu Chengjun, looked at each other silently.
At this moment, looking at Gu Li and Gu Chengjun who had no idea how to continue communicating, Li Leping's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he spoke to break the awkward situation: "According to you, the Ghost Photo Gallery should have been created during the Republic of China.
It was built, and it got out of control in modern times, but you still didn’t tell us, what is the purpose of sending missions to the Ghost Photo Gallery?”
He has completed three delivery missions to ghost photo studios, all of which were to take photos of ghosts.
He had some vague guesses about the purpose of the ghost photo studio.
However, no amount of speculation is as good as the manager’s personal account in front of him.
No matter how much half-guessing and half-conception, it is better to get the correct answer directly.
Gu Chengjun looked at Li Leping and explained straightforwardly: "The design of the Ghost Photo Gallery is very exquisite. This is not only the work of the first manager, but also the culmination of the ghost masters throughout the Republic of China. The Ghost Photo Gallery is equivalent to
The part of the industrial chain they created is just one link."
"One of them?"
Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something.
And just the next moment.
Gu Chengjun raised his hand again.
But this time, his hands were no longer empty.
In his hands, he held several old-fashioned envelopes.
These are several pieces of yellow-brown envelope paper, and the seals have signs of being torn. The contents inside should have been taken out.
"Ghost post office?" Li Leping was suddenly shocked.
The moment he saw these envelopes, he understood immediately.
There is indeed a close relationship between the ghost post office and the ghost photo studio.
"What is this? An envelope? Someone is delivering a letter to the ghost photo studio?"
Gu Li on the side looked at the envelope Gu Chengjun held in his hand, confused.
"There is a place called the Ghost Post Office. That place seems to be still in operation, so the Ghost Photo Gallery has been receiving messages."
Gu Chengjun briefly mentioned the place, and then continued: "The ghost photo studio is responsible for receiving messages from the ghost post office. As for the details of the ghost post office, you don't need to know too much. You just need to know that the photo studio accepts messages from the ghost post office."
After receiving the news from the post office, a task will be issued and special personnel will be dispatched to deal with the supernatural events there."
"So if you ask me what the purpose of the ghost photo studio is to send out tasks, I can only tell you that the purpose is to deal with the tasks coming from there. At the same time, in the process of completing these tasks, the photographer will also grow.
."
"Only by becoming stronger can we survive the subsequent missions."
"So that's it." Li Leping said to himself: "One is responsible for detecting and transmitting signals, and the other is responsible for subsequent cleanup work."
After the ghost post office sends the detection results to the ghost photo studio, the ghost photo studio will send special people to deal with the supernatural events.
Very reasonable, interconnected, and each performs its own duties.
At this moment, Gu Chengjun glanced at the photo of the old man in the hall and said with some regret: "It's a pity that with his death and my unknowingly opening the door to the sixth floor, this ghost...
The photo studio was completely destroyed. The out-of-control replicas escaped and wandered around the ghost photo studio, forcing all deliverymen and photographers, no matter where they were, to be pulled into the ghost photo studio.
, and then the old man’s replicas cleaned them up one by one.”
"Naturally, the place disappeared."
Li Leping understood what he meant: "It is equivalent to a fault in this industrial chain. There is only a detection agency, but there is no follow-up processing agency."
Killing or burying is probably what it means.
"That's the truth." Gu Chengjun nodded, without any emotion on his face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no sadness or self-blame.
Although he accidentally released the out-of-control replica of the old man, he has always abided by the operating rules of the ghost photo studio. But the problem is who would have thought that the steps leading to the road of managers would end in
An out-of-control ghost.
Moreover, this out-of-control product, captured by the camera on the sixth floor, actually possesses the same supernatural power as the second manager.
Even at that time, the photographers in the ghost photo studio were not bad, but compared with the second manager, the gap was still too obvious.
The supernatural confrontation is very direct. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. What's more, what they have to face is a real ghost.
"So, what is the purpose of the delivery person? To recruit people for the ghost photo studio?" At this time, Gu Li also asked.
Although it was difficult to accept that the gray-white man in front of him was his father, since it had already happened and it could not be undone, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to do so.
"Almost, the delivery people who deliver the photos from the ghost photo studio are actually equivalent to a circle of delivery people. Their role is to maintain this circle, because if you go up the stairs, the delivery people who previously delivered the photos from the ghost photo studio will
We are going to deliver color photos, and there will be a vacancy soon, so someone will naturally have to fill it."
"As for the color photos..."
Speaking of this, the manager of the ghost photo studio was also a little uncertain and said: "I haven't been awake for long, so I haven't had time to explore too much about the ghost photo studio. I have analyzed the colorful products distributed by the ghost photo studio before.
As for the behavior of taking photos, I initially mistakenly thought that the ghost photo studio sending out color photos was a sign of losing control."
"But as the number of people I came into contact with increased, especially after I became a manager, I gained a deeper and different understanding of the ghost photo studio."
Hearing this, Li Leping and Gu Li's expressions became solemn.
"Now the ghost photo studio has shown signs of losing control due to long-term lack of control. At that time, the purpose of distributing color photos was probably because the ghost photo studio selected those who it believed had potential for growth, and this
The potential for growth is much higher than that of the average person.”
"But now that I'm out of control, I guess I'm just posting randomly."
Hearing this, Gu Li didn't understand and said, "But how does the Ghost Photo Gallery know who has potential? It can't predict the future."
However, what returned to him was his father's eyes full of "care".
Gu Li was stunned for a moment. After being confused for a while, he asked tentatively: "You shouldn't have such ability, right?"
However, what he got was not an answer of approval, but a refutation.
"Yes." Gu Chengjun stared at his silly eldest son and said solemnly.
"Are you kidding?!"
Gu Li was shocked, scanning the dim hall, and said in disbelief, "Can this damn place predict the future?"
Even Li Leping's face looked extremely solemn.
Sure enough, you can get many amazing secrets from managers.
At this moment, Gu Chengjun seemed to be comforting him: "Actually, it's not a complete prediction. It's more like a prediction of the future based on comprehensive data from all aspects, which has reference value."
"But the real future is definitely impossible to predict 100%."
"It's like in the judgment of a ghost photo studio, you are very valuable, but in the end you died in it during the first shooting mission. This is not impossible, and there are many possibilities. After all, the supernatural has its own characteristics.
Uncertainty, and it only takes a moment for the evil ghost to kill someone."
"To be more extreme, the moment you receive the color photos, you have a mental problem and directly hit yourself to death. That is equivalent to the unknown failure of the ghost photo studio."
"Everything in the future is possible, and it is impossible to be directly destined to death by supernatural forces."
Hearing this, Gu Li felt a little more at ease: "If you say it like this, it seems a little easier to accept."
However, the next moment, Gu Chengjun broke his comfort zone: "But now, you are following the ghost photo studio's plan."
"What do you mean?" Gu Li was stunned.
"literal meaning."
Gu Chengjun said: "This is actually my personal opinion. I think the ghost photo studio is probably asking you to follow the path of your predecessors."
"Reproduction?"
Li Leping frowned.
What does it mean to follow the path of our predecessors?
"Take Gu Li as an example. You have controlled that right hand, so in the photo mission you took on, some of the ghosts you encountered during the mission were the previous ghost controllers who had controlled this right hand.
It was so magical.”
"What?!"
Gu Li looked at his right hand, which was as slender as a woman's in surprise.
Now, he understood what the so-called re-engraving was.
It is to walk the path that the previous driver walked through again, thus giving birth to another ghost driver who has controlled the same supernatural power.
"So, the ghost photo studio mission I received is actually asking me to trace the traces left by the previous generation of ghost masters?" Gu Li asked in surprise.
"That's almost it." Gu Chengjun nodded.
"But this doesn't explain why the mission is limited to Daxi City. Fierce ghosts can wander, and after the death of the ghost master, the ferocious ghosts in the body revive. Fierce ghosts may not only wander in Daxi City."
"Besides, the former driver of this right hand must have been dead for a long time." Gu Liyou questioned.
Gu Chengjun said: "Yes, but that's how the ghost photo studio operates. Because the prediction mechanism is based on a ghost in the ghost photo studio, that ghost is responsible for the specific arrangements. To put it bluntly,
It is a ghost that arranges the path you will take in the future, but this path has already been walked by predecessors. The difference is only that the supernatural beings controlled are different, but the basic logic of control is the same."
