Gray paper dust floats in the sky, and more and more portraits are scattered on the road. No one knows when these portraits appeared.
Moreover, the things that appeared in the portraits became increasingly weird, including twisted black shadows, cold corpses, and terrifying ghost images.
Each painting seems to represent a ghost.
The number is despairing.
A dark haunted house, a gray road, and five people struggling to survive on the road.
One black, one white, and one green, the three colors represent the three forces in this strange world.
"thump!"
He knocked down another fierce ghost that was approaching.
After running away for a long time, Li Leping's face doesn't look very good now.
After repeated confrontations with ghosts, even though he didn't have to worry too much about the ghost's resurrection, the consumption caused by the continuous use of supernatural power tortured his mental state all the time.
The number and intensity of the evil ghosts that invaded Huanggang Village were far more terrifying than he had expected. After dismembering a dozen or so evil ghosts with one knife at the beginning, although he did not encounter any large-scale evil ghosts wandering around along the way, he encountered some by chance on the road.
Several ghosts are also frighteningly scary, and many of them are fierce ghosts with certain death patterns.
After repeated confrontations, using the supernatural powers of the ghosts and sleepwalkers again and again, and forgetting his memories again and again, Li Leping's eyes have become a little confused now, because the continuous loss of memory will cause the brain to run wildly, trying to figure out what's going on.
Make up a new memory to fill the gap.
The brain is constantly functioning, and coupled with the oppression of the surrounding environment, one must always be wary of approaching evil spirits.
After all the consumption, Li Leping's complexion was extremely bad now.
"arrive."
At this time, Li Leping looked at the old house in front of him, panted heavily, and stopped.
The bruises on his arms have not completely faded yet, because just now, he had to use a short stick again to fight off an approaching evil ghost.
Behind him, a strange green candlelight covered an area of several meters, shrouding Gu Li and others to prevent them from being attacked by evil spirits.
After retreating all the way from the seventh house in Huanggang Village, Li Leping finally brought them back to the place where they entered the village after several dangers.
The door of the old brick building was open, and it was dark inside. Through the light of the ghost candle, you could vaguely see the old straw rope hanging from the beam in the lobby, as well as the body hanging in the rope noose.
The corpse was facing away from the door, swaying in the windless air, revealing an unimaginable and terrifying look.
It seems that due to the influence of this corpse, this house became the last somewhat normal house in the village.
The walls of other houses are already covered with oil paintings, and even a huge oil painting as tall as an adult hangs at the door. The entire Huanggang Village is full of traces of ghost paintings, and countless strange figures are in every corner of the village.
brewing.
"It's almost time."
Li Leping glanced at the time in his hand, and then walked back into the candlelight.
"There are still two minutes until the agreed opening time."
As soon as he came in, he spoke.
"Gui Zhu won't be able to hold on until that time." Gu Li looked at the consumption of Gui Zhu in his hand and lowered his voice.
Although Li Leping cleared the road for them all the way, there were evil ghosts wandering not only in front of him, but also behind him. From time to time, ghosts would stare at them, but they were temporarily driven away by the ghost candle.
Along the way, Guizhu avoided a lot of trouble for them, but the degree of burning was also very high.
Now, only a piece of the ghost candle in Gu Li's hand was left, not even two knuckles.
"If it's not enough, just order another one."
Li Leping had no intention of saving and took out a bright red ghost candle from his arms.
"Damn it, you ransacked Wang Xiaoming's laboratory?" Liu San looked at Li Leping with wide eyes.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaoming's young age, Liu San would have doubted whether Li Leping was Wang Xiaoming's illegitimate son.
There are priceless ghost candles out there, but Li Leping actually brought three or even more with him.
"You got it in exchange for your life." Li Leping just explained it this way.
Then, he lit the third ghost candle, and Gu Li blew out the small half of the ghost candle.
"Walk."
Without delay, Li Leping returned to the team and led everyone towards the house at the entrance of the village.
The house is old, and beyond the rotten wooden threshold, it is dark and dead inside. The moment you enter, you can smell the smell of corpses in the air, as if the hanged person has been dead for a long time.
And this time everyone's target was the body hanging in the living room.
"As expected, it's Wei Jing."
Li Leping was not afraid of the dead and walked directly over with the ghost candle. The candlelight immediately illuminated the appearance of the corpse.
This was a corpse whose face had turned black, as if it had been dead for a long time.
However, the appearance of the corpse can still be identified.
This is Wei Jing, to be precise, he is Wang Xiaoming's experimental guinea pig, but Wei Jing seems to have succeeded and is of great value, so Wang Xiaoming specially formed such a team of ghost masters to take back Wei Jing.
At this moment, Wei Jing's body was still shaking slightly, making people a little unsure.
Is this corpse Wei Jing, or is it a ghost who has taken over Wei Jing's identity?
"A Hong, put on your makeup and make it look like Wei Jing. Let's see what's going on with him."
"Liu San, once you confirm that Wei Jing is still alive, climb up and untie the rope. When you loosen the rope, remember to control the straw rope to prevent that thing from reviving."
Li Leping gave orders while scanning the darkness around him.
The range illuminated by the candlelight was very limited, but he could still vaguely see the situation in the living room.
When A Hong and Liu San started to make moves, Li Leping also saw a dark wooden door on the right side of the living room. The lower half of the wooden door was covered with green moss, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time due to moisture.
"This is it."
Li Leping hooked his hand towards Gu Li and motioned for him to return the doorknob to him.
Then, he handed the sickle back to Gu Li.
Holding the ghost candle in one hand and the doorknob in the other, Li Leping just waited quietly for the passage of time.
There is still one minute before the time reaches the end, and Li Leping is stuck in time.
Outside the door, a strange figure flashed from time to time, as if to indicate that something wanted to cross the threshold and step into this house.
However, there seems to be something more terrifying inside the house, so that the evil ghosts wandering outside cannot enter.
"It's not the influence of the ghost candle, it's the influence of this corpse."
Li Leping looked at the ghost candle burning at a normal speed in his hand and understood this immediately.
At this time, Ahong also completed the transformation.
Due to time constraints, she did not put on her entire face and only chose to put on half of her face.
But this is enough.
The green candlelight reflected on A Hong's face, making half of her face look particularly strange yet familiar.
This is Wei Jing's face. Under the makeup, it is pale and lifeless, like a face made up of a dead person.
"Wei Jing is normal." A Hong felt the makeup on her face melting quickly and immediately told everyone.
She can put on makeup to look like other people, or a certain ghost, and completely become that person.
The duration of makeup to look like a ghost is very limited, but if you paint a living person, it can last for quite a long time.
At this moment, although Ah Hong could not use the supernatural power in the ghost candle, she could clearly feel the degree of melting of the ghost makeup on her face.
Based on her perception of the makeup on her face, she could confirm that Wei Jing was still alive.
Because ghost makeup can last for a longer period of time.
"Untie."
Li Leping immediately looked at Liu San.
And Liu San didn't even need his reminder at this time, the paper man's body had already climbed up to the beam along with the body hanging in mid-air.
The body was swaying in mid-air due to his weight and the intensity of his climb.
The rotten beams also creaked.
"Be careful. If the situation still changes, you and I will take action directly and hold him to death." Li Leping whispered in Gu Li's ear.
He wants to ensure that even if things go to the worst direction, they can respond in time.
"clear."
Gu Li also stared closely at the swaying corpse.
However, he didn't feel too nervous about it.
Even if something goes wrong with Wei Jing and it puts them in danger, the number of ghosts controlled by the five of them now clearly exceeds that of Gui Cha, so the possibility of being targeted is unlikely.
Even if you are targeted, it shouldn't be difficult to persist for half a minute with the ghost candle burning.
"thump!"
At this time, Liu San untied the ghost rope on the beam. Of course, it is not that easy to untie the ghost rope, but someone like Liu San, who is a paper man himself, or a ghost, wants to
Suppressing this ghost rope can be said to be a piece of cake.
As soon as the rope was loosened, the body hanging in mid-air suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
"boom!"
Liu San jumped directly from the beam. His body made of paper was extremely heavy and landed on the black ground with a loud noise, as if to hint that there was something else hidden under the skin of his paper man.
As for the ghost rope, he held it tightly in his hand, showing no signs of recovery.
However, Liu San only untied the rope on the beam and did not continue to untie the noose around the body's neck.
But even so, as the corpse fell to the ground, the stiff and rotten body twitched, as if it was about to come to life.
At the same time, the green candlelight suddenly began to burn fiercely, and the flames continued to expand, as if to indicate the presence of evil spirits around.
"Tap, tap~!"
It seems that what caused the change in the ghost candle was not the body that suddenly fell to the ground, but the evil ghost lingering outside the house.
The separation of the corpse seemed to trigger some kind of change, causing the evil ghost outside the door to take action.
One after another, strange figures began to cross the threshold and walked into this old brick house, only six or seven meters away from the five people inside.
However, the ghost candle is still burning, and the green fire separates humans and ghosts.
There are still twenty seconds left before the appointed time.
But at this moment, a huge change occurred in the dim house.
The old and mottled walls seemed to have been splashed with a layer of gray paint, giving them a gray color. The world outside the door seemed to be snowing heavily, and countless paper dust was floating in from the doorways and empty windows.
, gradually dyed the black soil ground gray-white.
"You mommy, there is a big problem." Gu Li cursed.
"Back off, there are still fifteen seconds."
Li Leping saw that this house was beginning to show traces of being eroded by ghost paintings. He immediately pushed the red door handle into Gu Li's arms, then bent down and lifted up the squirming body.
The muscles of the corpse were twitching, and the stiff fingers were slowly lifting, as if to indicate that the corpse was about to come back to life.
But it will take some time before Wei Jing is "resurrected", and Li Leping can't just leave him here.
Carrying Wei Jing's body, Li Leping took the ghost candle and immediately moved to the right side of the living room.
That place may be the only place with a door in Huanggang Village, and there must be no traces of being invaded by ghost paintings.
Once the door is blocked by a certain oil painting, they are really doomed.
Soon, Li Leping led everyone back to the wooden door.
The ghost candle burned, and the candlelight shrouded the wooden door in it to protect it from the erosion of the ghost paintings.
The number of ghosts pouring into this house has increased. The candlelight illuminates many strange figures wandering in the darkness. They are restricted by the ghost candles and have not launched attacks yet.
But if the ghost candle is extinguished, countless powerful ghosts will rush over like a tsunami, swallowing up the people who are forced to die in the endless waves.
"Gu Li, prepare to take action."
Li Leping remained calm without any panic.
The corpse in his hand was twitching with increasing force, and Li Leping even felt like he couldn't control him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Five seconds."
Gu Li had already arrived in front of the rotten and dark wooden door, holding the door handle painted with red paint tightly in his hand.
He doesn't know if this thing is reliable, but now he can only believe in its effectiveness.
At this moment, Gu Li put the doorknob on the door, leaned his shoulder against the door, and stared at the doorknob and the time on the watch on his wrist.
Open the right door at the right time so they can get out.
There is no room for error in time, not even a second.
This is like a data interface. Even if there is only one number difference, there will be problems with the connected address.
Especially now, they can't afford to lose anything.
The outside is full of evil spirits. Even if Li Leping goes out and fights for his life again, whether he can get it done is one thing. Even if he can barely repel a wave of evil ghost attacks, the next scheduled time to open the door will be thirty minutes later.
In thirty minutes, Huanggang Village would have been completely eroded by ghost paintings.
When the time comes, let alone whether we can persist until that time, whether we can find a door in Huanggang Village at that time is a question.
When the time came, Gu Li opened the door without hesitation.
"Um?"
The door opened, and Gu Li's eyes suddenly shrank.
After the door was opened, a strange scene appeared.
Behind the door is not a bedroom in an old brick house, but a misty darkness, and no one knows where this place leads.
"Success?"
Gu Li was a little unsure.
It was his first time using this thing, so he didn't quite understand the situation before him.
But experience told him that this should be a success. After all, it is better to have changes behind the scenes than nothing to happen behind the scenes.
"Stop the ink stains and hurry in."
Li Leping was not polite and directly kicked Gu Li who was hesitating in front of the door.
"Ah~!"
Immediately, the unprepared Gu Li was kicked in the butt, and his whole body fell directly into the bottomless darkness without making any sound.
Su Fan also hurriedly walked over, not because he saw Gu Li's fate, but because in the game on his mobile phone, a door also appeared in front of him, and a rare light appeared at the door, which seemed to foreshadow
exit.
Immediately, he walked in the door for the second time.
Liu San had doubts on his face, but he followed closely and walked in.
Next up is Ah Hong.
The four people walked towards the darkness behind the door and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
"call."
Li Leping, who was at the end, blew out the ghost candle in his hand.
The ghost candles must not be brought in while they are burning. They are using the supernatural retreat brought by the door handle. If they bring the ghost candles into the door together, the evacuation bridge may be directly broken.
While blowing out the ghost candle, Li Leping also tore off the old door handle from the door.
Without the supernatural power to maintain it, the door began to disappear rapidly.
Li Leping also seized this last moment and walked towards the darkness behind the door.
But just as he stepped onto the other side of the door.
Suddenly, his arms became cold and his whole body became heavy.
At some point, the corpse in his hand had completely come to life, and his stiff palms immediately reached over and grabbed Li Leping's arm.
"Um?"
Li Leping immediately realized what had caught him.
But he did not stop, dragging the burden on his arms, and still walked forward. He just lowered his head slightly and looked down along his arms.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything in the darkness. He could only feel the coldness coming from his arms and the smell of corpses that filled the air around him.
"I can walk by myself."
After walking into the darkness behind the door, these words suddenly echoed in his ears.
The voice was cold and without any emotion.
"It's okay, I always respect my seniors." Li Leping said.
at the same time.
Gu Li, who was walking in front and was kicked in by Li Leping, didn't know where the darkness ahead led.
All he knew was that he couldn't stop in these two dark places and could only keep walking.
It didn't take long.
He did not encounter any danger in the darkness, but saw a luminous exit.
Another door appeared in sight.
"exit?"
With this doubt, he quickened his pace, not daring to stay in the darkness for long, and walked towards the glowing door.
soon.
He walked out of the shining door.
The moment he walked out, he was surprised to find that he had arrived in a special room.
There was nothing in the room, except for an old wooden door standing behind it. He just walked out of this wooden door.
In front of the door, an old man with a cane and a face full of wrinkles and age spots looked at him like this.
"Oh, did you come out? It seems that the first time the door was opened was a success."
The old man was holding his cane, and looked at Gu Li with his dim eyes. He didn't appear surprised, as if he already knew the result of opening the door this time.
