Seeing that someone came to the door, Li Leping was too lazy to go any further.
There were not many people here anyway, and he liked the clean atmosphere very much.
When people come and go, he will feel uncomfortable.
"good."
Seeing Li Leping's initiative, Chen Zhong naturally would not refuse.
The two of them just sat down.
"What do you want, handsome guy?"
The proprietress walked over with a smile on her face, and for a moment she ignored Li Leping beside her, instead focusing on Chen Zhong, who had regular features.
There is no way. Although Li Leping's appearance is excellent, as for his unmemorable characteristics, no matter how handsome he is, he is completely unremarkable in the eyes of outsiders, and there is a possibility of being ignored at any time.
.
After taking the menu, Chen Zhong glanced at it for a few times, then handed it to Li Leping and asked, "Li Xing..."
Chen Zhong, who had become accustomed to this title, almost didn't change his words and almost called out Li Leping's position.
As soon as the word "Detective Li" comes out of my mouth, I'm afraid the landlady's way of treating guests will change.
"Ahem... Li Leping, look at what you want to order."
Fortunately, Chen Zhong gasped and changed his tune.
The landlady looked confused and followed Chen Zhong's gaze.
Only then did she realize that there was a person sitting next to her, but she was completely unaware of this person and had no impression of him at all.
"It seems that I just brought two guests in?" She looked at the young man who suddenly appeared next to her in confusion.
Li Leping took a look at the menu and said skillfully: "Two plates of fried noodles, two skewers of tofu skin, ten skewers of fat beef, ten skewers of mutton, and ten skewers of pig whip and two bottles of white for this guy."
As soon as he heard "this buddy", Chen Zhong's expression suddenly became wonderful.
"Li...Brother Li, you are trying to make me a hit in the new year, are you trying to make me die?"
He immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
"Hey, handsome guy, it never hurts to make up for it a little more."
While the landlady agreed, she placed her hand ambiguously on Chen Zhong's solid and broad shoulders.
It has to be said that Chen Zhong was born in the army after all. Although his face is covered with the vicissitudes of time and his complexion is a bit darker, his figure has also been trained to be powerful, his sitting posture is extremely upright, and his hands are accustomed to
The ground was pressed on his thigh, and his whole body exuded a strong sense of security.
This kind of masculine spirit is definitely not comparable to Li Leping's appearance of kidney deficiency.
However, when he saw the hand on his shoulder, Chen Zhong immediately shook it with a cold face.
Seeing this, the proprietress didn't want to bring trouble to herself, so she took the menu and walked to the kitchen.
Li Leping was not interested in this episode and just said: "If you are celebrating the Chinese New Year, you should take a good supplement. Don't ruin your body like me."
There were not many customers, just Li Leping and Chen Zhong. Soon, the landlady handed over two bottles of white wine, and then brought over two plates of fried noodles.
He put down the plate and gave Chen Zhong a complaining look before leaving, as if he was still concerned about his incomprehensible amorous feelings.
"Eat."
Li Leping picked up the chopsticks and ate the fried noodles.
"Cough, cough cough..."
After taking two bites, Chen Zhong was snatched away, and his face instantly turned red, like a piece of boiled pig skin.
"Damn, cough...that's how much chili pepper I put in." Chen Zhong shouted while coughing.
"You're from Dachuan and can't tolerate spicy food. I didn't expect this." Li Leping complained while pouring him a cup of tea.
"This is too spicy." Chen Zhong blushed, feeling hot all over, and drank the tea in one gulp.
…
Not long after, all the dishes were served, and Chen Zhong also drank and ate at the same time. He didn't use a cup when drinking, but blew directly into the bottle.
He had been suppressing it for a long time, and now all the negative emotions in his heart burst out along with his drunkenness.
Soon, after two bottles of white wine, he felt that his throat was burning, and his whole face was as red as Guan Gong. He held a pig whip in his hand, and his upper body could not maintain its previous upright appearance.
Shake up.
Looking at the funny way he dances, it seems like he might sing a line from an opera at any time.
"Li...uh~~"
He burped, looked at Li Leping in front of him, and asked strangely: "How come you still have a clone?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and shook it left and right, as if there were really many Li Lepings in front of him.
"I won't be separated, it's your eyes that will be separated."
Li Leping knew that Chen Zhong was drunk and had afterimages in his eyes.
No matter how good a drinker you are, you can't bear to drink two bottles of white wine at once.
"Me? I can clone myself?" Chen Zhong said in confusion.
People who are usually more serious will be more likely to become rude once they drink alcohol, especially if they are drunk.
Because all the negative emotions in my heart that had been suppressed finally found an outlet.
"Where's the wine? Why is there no wine?"
Chen Zhong took the empty wine bottle and poured it into his mouth a few times, only to find that there was not a drop left in it.
Suddenly, he slapped the wine bottle and shouted like a drunkard: "Madam boss, get two more bottles of white!"
"Don't take it."
Li Leping waved his hand towards the landlady, indicating that the man was no longer thinking clearly and should ignore him.
"Hiccup~~"
"Li Leping, do you think I'm drunk?"
In order to prove that he was not drunk, Chen Zhong suddenly straightened his upper body, pointed at Li Leping, and called him by name.
Normally, he would never dare to do this.
However, in the state of alcohol paralysis, he dared to say any nonsense.
"You are not drunk, I am drunk." Li Leping said.
No one expected that the calm state of mind when dealing with supernatural events would now be used to deal with drunkards.
"you're drunk?"
Chen Zhong's mind was indeed starting to fail.
He was stunned for a moment, as if there was a short-circuit for a few seconds, and then he really believed this statement, and then made up an inexplicable fallacy: "No wonder you can become a clone. Can a ghost controller still become a clone after drinking?"
"
"Maybe." Li Leping followed his words while eating peanuts that went well with wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is still a large plate of peanuts left, but Chen Zhong has already finished the wine.
"Hiccup~~"
Chen Zhong hiccupped again, and his words had no focus on the topic. He immediately jumped from the wonderful topic of "doppelganger" to another topic: "Actually... I never had time to say thank you to you."
"Tell me thank you?" Li Leping asked.
"You saved me, you saved this city, you saved everyone in this city."
"But, they can't even say thank you to you."
As he spoke, Chen Zhong held the wine bottle with one hand and covered his forehead with the other. He looked a little downcast, as if he was complaining for Li Le.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care if anyone thanks me. In fact, you don't need to feel that you owe me anything. After all, when it first happened, I was still thinking of escaping from Dachuan City."
Li Leping also didn't shy away from the proprietress sitting not far away looking at her mobile phone.
She may also have felt helpless despair when the ghost borrowing incident broke out.
However, like many citizens, she has forgotten that horrific experience.
Now, she would only think that these two people were drunk and crazy, dreaming of some kind of heroic dream, or narrating lines from a certain movie.
How many people remember that this city once spent five days under the dark clouds of evil spirits?
Who dares to believe that the stranger who turned the tide and saved the building from collapse is now sitting in this ordinary food stall, telling the thrilling secrets of the past one by one as if it has nothing to do with him.
"No, that's not right!"
Chen Zhong lowered his head. Just when Li Leping thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly slammed the table with an excited face, as if he wanted to plead grievances for Li Leping: "No matter what you thought at that time, you
You finally came back and you saved us all."
"We all owe you a life, but many people don't know that they owe you a life."
"Actually... hiccup~~"
The dignified atmosphere that had just been created was instantly extinguished by this wine burp.
But Chen Zhong still pointed to his heart: "I can feel that you are different from those heartless ghost masters."
"Oh? How many ghost masters have you come into contact with?" Li Leping wanted to hear what the drunkard Chen Zhong had to say.
Some truths can only be told when you are drunk.
"Not many, but no matter whether you deny it or admit it, I only know that if it were the ghost controllers from the circle of friends or other civil forces, as long as they have a chance to escape, they will definitely take them with them
All the wealth that can be taken away should be evacuated from Dachuan City."
"They won't think about taking a few more people away. After all, in their eyes, the value of boxes of gold and even banknotes is more precious than human life."
"Only you, you took those children and women away, then ran back, pressed that ghost to the ground and rubbed it, and finally saved us all."
Li Leping was a little embarrassed by his praise and shrugged.
"Look, I was right."
Chen Zhong grinned, showing his white teeth.
"This guy has been chatting too much, and his mind is not functioning properly." Li Leping suddenly said to the proprietress not far away, while pointing to his head.
The landlady nodded with deep feeling.
Li finally understood why Chen Zhong couldn't go out drinking alone.
After two glasses of white wine, I could say anything.
Li Leping also had no intention of telling him to shut up in order to keep the secret secret.
These days, if you go online to talk about hauntings, there will either be a bunch of people in the comments saying you don’t understand science, and then helping you analyze it from a scientific perspective.
Or it’s a group of nagging people talking about their weird experiences in the comments.
Anyway, unless it is really a ghost, even if the official releases some news now, the public will treat this news with the mentality of watching ghost stories for fun.
Who believes this?
"Li Leping."
Suddenly, Chen Zhong, who had his head hanging down, raised his head again, looked at Li Leping with a pair of hazy eyes, and asked, "Do you think we still have a future?"
"us?"
When Li Leping saw the landlady suddenly covering her mouth with a look of surprise on her face, she immediately knew that this ambiguous statement had caused a misunderstanding.
"Just, be a little taller, do you think there is a future for human beings?"
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Zhong was also talking crazy and talking about the future.
The landlady seemed relieved, but she felt a little regretful in her eyes, as if she had missed a wonderful show in her imagination.
It seems that the boss lady is more concerned about the sexual bond between two men than the drunken gossip about the fate of all mankind.
"future?"
Li Leping was startled for a moment, never expecting that Chen Zhong's mind would wander so much after he was drunk.
The future of mankind is not something he can decide.
Li Leping fell silent and really thought about this topic for a few minutes.
A few minutes later, he said: "Every generation has a mission. You and I just have to do it now."
"I'm afraid that once I close my eyes, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow anymore." Chen Zhong murmured at this moment, as if he felt something in his heart.
He looked at the sun that was about to set not far away, and the sunset turned the sky red.
Dark night is coming.
The endless night, the darkness that makes you unable to see your fingers, the lights that light up in every house are like the glimmer of human beings struggling in the desperate supernatural world.
Li Leping raised his head slightly, looked at the setting sun, and said calmly: "Maybe, but even if we can't see the sun tomorrow, there will always be others who can see the sun tomorrow. Even if you die or I die,
There will always be someone who can see a new dawn for us."
"The eight billion people in this world will not perish so easily. There is no reason why human beings could fall on the threshold of this era, every hurdle that they could overcome step by step in the past."
Chen Zhong was so drunk that he didn't know if he heard these words.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He just lay on the table and said: "That's right, after being a liaison officer for a long time, there are more things in my mind, and I always think about those things that I have
No."
"I now understand why there was always no smile on Liaison Officer Tang Ziyi's face, and he always looked solemn."
"But actually there is such a saying in our army, which is quite suitable for a special person like you."
Li Leping said: "What are you talking about?"
"The process of being a soldier is actually full of waiting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"When there is no war, we wait for the war to come, and when the war comes, we wait for the day when the war ends."
"It sounds quite philosophical."
Chen Zhong, who had been lying on the table, suddenly stood up and said proudly: "Of course."
However, his strong state did not last long.
Immediately, he lay down again.
"Huh~huh~"
Heavy snoring sounded.
This time, he really fell asleep.
"Wait..."
Li Leping watched the sunset gradually being swallowed up by darkness, and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, thoughtfully.
This sentence is quite consistent with his current situation, and even consistent with the current situation of all ghost controllers in this era.
They are all waiting for the supernatural event to come, and then deal with the supernatural event, and then find ways to steal new supernatural power from the supernatural event.
As for taking the initiative and actively looking for the source of the supernatural?
They haven't reached that level yet.
"Even now, I am helpless when facing many supernatural incidents."
Li Leping knew this very well.
"The most important thing is that my upper limit seems to have reached the limit of the Forgotten Ghost."
He knows that he is now in an important bottleneck period that is difficult to break through.
"Wait a little longer, first confirm whether there is any problem with my memory from the 'future', and then accept the fourth mission from the Ghost Photo Gallery."
He has planned everything.
"No matter what the future holds, I still wish you a happy New Year."
As he spoke, Li Leping touched the wine bottle Chen Zhong was holding tightly with the cup filled with tea.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhong was too sleepy to respond.
