However, when he arrived, he found that the place had become a ghost zone.
Occasionally, you can see a few corpses in miserable death conditions on the street, and there are also a few dead people walking around holding teddy bears.
"I came here through a ghost."
Li Leping knew very well who killed these people.
It's only the first day, and the borrowed ghost and the evil ghosts under it are already wandering here.
In order to prevent being spotted by unclean things, Li Leping stopped the car, put on a burnt straw hat, and chose to walk.
The straw hat could cover his tracks, but it couldn't hide the car he was riding in.
Along the way, the whole street was eerily quiet, and he didn't see a single person who survived.
There were only dead bodies lying on the roadside and many scary figures holding teddy bears walking past him.
"Chen Zhong's wife and children should be gone."
Li Leping knew this fact.
However, his current mental state is very unstable, and the continuous depression has stretched his nerves to the extreme.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely turn around and leave.
But now, he won't leave.
Just like those who tried to survive this disaster, at this moment, he began to harbor unrealistic fantasies.
"Maybe he's not dead yet?"
Sadly, he also started to lie to himself.
On the road, many temporarily abandoned cars stayed on the road, and many corpses in hideous shapes lay beside the cars and on the roadside.
It's just that Li Leping didn't care about these dead people.
He only cares about the family that Chen Zhong entrusted to him.
soon.
He came to a relatively new residential complex.
This is a family home allocated to military dependents in Dachuan City. Not all family homes are set up in the camp.
When you walk into the community, you can see tall buildings. The public facilities in the community are well maintained. There are green plants on both sides of the road, and you can even see a pond built in the center of the community.
However, at this moment, the community is silent, and there is a faint smell of blood in the air. Occasionally, you can see a few corpses lying on the roadside, and some corpses are lying directly on the low green belt. I guess
It was thrown on top after being killed by a ghost.
Looking up high, the windows were completely dark, making it look eerie and depressing.
A ghost once attacked this place, but now it has left.
Because along the way, Li Leping didn't hear a cry for help or a cry.
"Building 6, 203."
Soon, Li Leping found Building No. 6 of this community.
He came to the entrance door at the bottom of the unit building.
Under normal circumstances, these security doors require the resident's magnetic card or the resident upstairs to open the door remotely before outsiders can enter.
However, now, this safety door seemed to have been forcibly opened by someone. The iron door lock was broken directly, and the entire door could no longer be closed, and it just stood there half-covered.
"Squeak."
When the door is opened, the sound it makes is much smaller than those rusty doors.
Since the ghost borrowing incident has just broken out, there are still many areas in Dachuan City that can maintain normal water supply and power supply.
But for some reason, this community is now completely dark. I don't know if it's because there's been a power outage, or because there has been some kind of supernatural attack here, so all the electrical appliances have been damaged.
However, this no longer mattered to Li Leping.
He had already adapted to the darkness and to conducting investigations alone.
When I arrived at the entrance of the corridor, I immediately hit a big prize.
It was a dead man with his head lowered and a ninety-degree angle between his head and neck.
The dead man stood quietly on the spot, just blocking the entrance to the stairs, with his head lowered, and his face still maintained the despair before death.
Ignoring the dead man parked at the entrance, Li Leping was looking for a woman and child, and his target was obviously not this dead man.
He kicked the dead man out of the way and walked directly to the second floor.
It was pitch dark at the entrance of the corridor, and I couldn't see my fingers. Fortunately, there was no supernatural interference here, so the flashlight's light could shine normally.
And Li Leping quickly arrived on the second floor.
However, Li Leping, who had just arrived on the second floor and had not yet entered the corridor from the passage, suddenly shrank his eyes.
There are two families living on this side near the exit.
But at this moment, the doors of these two households have been opened.
There is no way anyone would dare to open the door at this time.
"Oops……"
The miracle still hasn't happened.
Come to the door of 203.
The hard iron door was twisted and deformed, and the door handle was forcibly broken off by some terrible force and was discarded next to it, which made people shudder.
An unpleasant smell of blood wafted out from the living room and along the unsealed doorway.
Obviously, the person in this room is dead.
But Li Leping still walked in.
When the light shines on it, there are still many messy footprints on the floor.
Obviously, evil ghosts had entered the room, and judging from the number and size of the footprints, there was probably more than one ghost.
Some of the footprints look about the same size as an adult, while others are only the size of a baby.
At the same time, Li Leping also saw small blood-red dots among these chaotic footprints.
It looks a lot like bloody fingers.
It's that bloody palm.
Li Leping was very sure.
Although the owner of these footprints and finger prints had obvious signs of wandering in the living room.
However, all traces finally extended to the innermost room.
That should be the bedroom.
Follow the marks on the floor.
Come to the bedroom.
The door was not closed, or could not be closed, because Li Leping saw several clear fingerprints on the door, and the entire door was dented and deformed.
Open the door and walk into the bedroom.
Without moving forward, Li Leping looked at everything in the bedroom and stopped where he was, with mixed feelings in his heart.
There was no warm scene in the room, only two corpses hugging each other tightly in the corner. They were the corpses of a child and a woman.
There is no mistake, those are Chen Zhong's wife and children.
They were already dead, and their bodies were beginning to show signs of rigor mortis.
But at the last moment before his death, Chen Zhong's wife was still holding the child tightly in her arms.
The mother's hand covered the child's sight, not wanting him to see the terrifying ghost.
She spent her last moments protecting her children.
And this scene not only happened in this small bedroom, but also happened in many corners of the city.
I can't imagine how desperate they must be before they die.
Before she died, perhaps Chen Zhong's wife was still deceiving her children in good faith.
It's okay, everything will be fine...
"Hold……"
Li Leping's throat moved, his voice was deep, and he let out a long sigh, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Suddenly.
His tense nerves were finally about to be unable to withstand the pressure under the mental torture of the scene in front of him.
The reluctance, anger, and frustration that filled his heart turned into punches one after another at this moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Li Leping clenched his fists and punched the wall beside him, as if he was venting all the depression he had been feeling during this period.
In my mind, I recalled what I had seen and heard during this period.
The dead people, their desperate and helpless faces before death.
Those who fled took their families and their families with them, but they tried to escape from this city that they were destined to be unable to leave.
The entire city is trapped in the hands of a fierce ghost, and the only thing waiting for this city is destruction.
When there are evil spirits wandering around in the world, when everyone in this city is begging and praying for the gods to come and drive away the horrible evil spirits.
But they discovered a cruel fact.
In this world, there are no gods, only ghosts.
"Grass!"
Li Leping roared, roared, and punched out, which seemed to shake the entire wall several times. The white paint on the sunken wall had peeled off, revealing the original steel and concrete inside.
However, in those cold steel and concrete depressions, streaks of bright red blood were already stained on them.
That was Li Leping's blood. His fists had become bloody and bloody under the wear and tear of each punch, and one could even see the white bones hidden under the flesh.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out at this moment.
His emotions were affected by the evil ghost, and he finally had the final violent outburst at the moment when his emotions reached their peak.
"Huh...huh..."
Finally, Li Leping had no more strength. He stood there with his arms hanging down, but his fingers were trembling involuntarily.
The severe pain can bring him clarity, allowing him to regain his composure in silence.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the two dead people, with infinite confusion in his expression.
He didn't know how to face all this, let alone how to tell Chen Zhong that his wife and child were gone.
He is not a god, and he is powerless to fight against the borrowed ghosts. However, as the ghost borrowing incident breaks out, he realizes that he is completely powerless against supernatural events.
He has experienced too many lives and deaths, but everything he saw today hurts the depths of his soul all the time.
In a daze, he seemed to have found something.
That's something called human nature.
Everyone has humanity, but for ghost masters, humanity is often corroded by powerful ghosts and buried deep in the deepest part of their hearts.
But now, in an atmosphere of endless despair, Li Leping has regained his increasingly bleak humanity after witnessing it again and again.
"I'm just an unlucky person. I'm not as lucky as others. Once I travel through time, I can change my destiny."
"I traveled through this ghost world and came to this person with the same name and surname as me. I had no chance to enjoy happiness or the possibility of having a harem. From the first day I woke up, everything I did was to survive...
…”
"Corpses, dead people, countless deaths... I am becoming more and more numb, more and more indifferent..."
In his memory, he recalled Yuanyang Shopping Center, Qingshi Village, the Ghost Zone, and the Forgotten Incident.
Finally, he recalled the ghost borrowing incident that broke out now.
Many people are dying, and those who die are like a number, a piece of worthless garbage.
"But...but..."
Li Leping gritted his teeth and breathed heavily. He seemed to have found the answer while questioning himself again and again.
"But...but...I'm a human! Damn it, I'm not a ghost!"
"I am a human being, so I will be injured and die, but I also have a heart, a liver, and feelings because of this!"
"Damn devil, you deprive me of my emotions every day. I'll beat your mother to death!"
"Boom!"
The strength that came from nowhere was condensed into a punch again, and he swung it towards the dilapidated wall in front of him.
"When a bad guy dies, everyone claps and cheers. When a good guy dies, everyone is sad. But this damn world forces bad guys to die together with good guys, and people both good and bad."
Li Leping pressed his head against the wall and gritted his teeth.
He turned back again and looked at the dead woman and child.
I didn't look carefully just now, but now I realized that the child, who was tightly protected in the woman's arms, seemed to be holding something in his hand.
That's an Ultraman Tiga toy.
Maybe when the terror came, the child was still praying that the light would come.
Li Leping walked over, squatted down, and looked at the toy held in the child's hand.
In his ears, he seemed to recall the words Zhang Xiaoxiao said before entering the ghost zone with him.
"When I was a kid, I always dreamed that I could have a transformer. When people encountered monsters, I could take out the transformer and transform into Ultraman. Under people's admiring eyes, I would look like a god.
Save them."
"It's a pity. Later, when I got older, I realized that my childhood dreams were just dreams after all. In this world, there are neither destiny-changing transformers nor Ultraman."
Children often have heroes in their hearts and want to be that kind of hero.
It's a pity that when people grow up and step out of the society, they find that the society is completely different from what they imagined, and then they are bruised and bruised. They forget about their dreams and just want to find a deserted corner and lick their wounds.
.
Then, when the injured person walked out of the corner again, the child who once had a dream died.
"A hero..."
Li Leping recalled his conversation with Zhang Xiaoxiao, and then looked at the toy held by a child, which symbolized "childishness" in the eyes of many people.
"In this fearful world, in a supernatural world where everyone is selfish, it would be really shameful to be a hero..."
At this moment, Li Leping smiled. He felt that since the day he came into this world, he had never smiled as sincerely as he did today.
"Feel sorry."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but there was sadness in his eyes.
These words seemed to be spoken to the dead Tang Ziyi, the dead Zhang Xiaoxiao, the dead Zhang Xiaoxiao's family, the dead Chen Zhong's wife and children, and even to Lao Zhao in Qingshi Village and Jiang Cheng who died in the shopping mall.
of.
next moment.
Li Leping stood up slowly, the sadness and smile on his face had long disappeared.
"Maybe the control plan will fail, maybe I will still lose against the borrowed ghost again..."
"but……"
"bring it on……"
All he has is a perseverance that is close to death.
"One last ditch effort."
At this moment, Li Leping's mentality, after experiencing countless struggles, decided to fight again for the 20 million people in this city.
When a terrible disaster occurs, everyone hopes that the disaster has nothing to do with them.
However, when a real disaster strikes, everyone hopes that someone will lend a helping hand to them.
When people call to the gods in the sky, the only one who answers them is one person who is destined to be forgotten by them...
