Thick smoke lingered in the quiet and eerie corridor, and the smell of smoke became heavier and heavier, as if there was a fire here, blackening everything around it.
If you stay in such a ghostly place for a long time, even if you don't choke to death from the smell of smoke, you will be drained of moisture by the stinking thick smoke and become a mummy.
However, in the small space, the ghost smoke covering every corner could never get close to the figure standing alone on the steps.
"it's over."
Li Leping looked indifferent, turned slightly and walked towards the strange puppet man.
The puppet has lost the ability to move, just like an ordinary puppet that has lost its vitality. It is leaning against the wall, and its back is stained with a lot of black smoke emitted by ghost smoke.
Li Leping stretched out his hand, wrapped it around his neck, and carried it directly across his shoulders.
Then, seemingly casually, he threw the short stick in his hand to the side.
The black iron rod hit the head of a shadow man standing at his feet, suppressing it again.
There were many ghosts in the corridor, but Li Leping was still most worried about this strange shadow head.
The terror level of the Ghost Head is not high, but the harm level is so terrifying that if left unchecked, it would not be a problem to destroy a city.
Because of this, Li Leping specially used a short stick to continuously suppress the ghost head.
"Anyway, we won't need this stick anymore."
Li Leping turned around again and slowly walked towards the motionless old man lying on the steps.
The suppressive effect of the short stick can be maintained for a while, but it cannot last for too long. He knows that he must throw the old man back into 301 as soon as possible.
Soon, he put the transfer ghost in his hand under his arm, and then he leaned down and picked up the motionless old man.
At the same time, his other hand grabbed the arm that was holding the doll tightly.
With two hands, one hand grabbed the skinny old woman, and the other hand dragged the ghost holding the doll. There was a medium-sized female doll under the arm, and on the shoulder.
Carrying a strange puppet.
Li Leping also mobilized all the parts of his body that he could use, and he was directly carrying four terrifying ghosts at once.
"The key to throwing the ghost back into 301 and re-incarcerating him is to let the old man lie back on the bed. Although I don't know where the bed is, 301 is not big, so it shouldn't be difficult to find."
"It's just that part of this old man's supernatural power was stolen by the Forgotten Ghost. It's not yet known whether such a weakened ghost can still suppress 301's supernatural power despite being weakened."
It was dark inside the stairs, but the thick black smoke in front kept making way for Li Leping.
While he was thinking, he stepped over the mummy lying on the steps and reached the third floor.
The third floor has also been swept by ghost smoke. Now everything is pitch black. The number plate next to the door has been blackened and nothing can be seen at all.
If someone else comes here looking for 301, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to clean up these small black stains left on the door number.
But for Li Leping, who has been here several times, he doesn't have to waste that time.
He knew exactly where Room 301 was.
In fact, even if he does not know the location of 301, looking at the door that has been opened and the yellow light emitting from the room, a fool can know where 301 is.
As I walked closer, I gradually felt a chill that had been trapped in the dust for a long time.
When he came to the door and looked into the room, Li Leping was startled for a moment.
The room has a sense of being divorced from modernity. Most of the furniture is made of wood and painted with red paint. It looks like it has been used for many years. The red paint leather has signs of peeling off.
The walls and floor are covered with a layer of old-fashioned floral tiles, and there are many posters posted on the walls. The posters show people and scenes, and the pixels are very accurate, as if they were products of the last century.
"This place is really getting out of hand."
However, looking at this supernatural place that he had visited once before, although Li Leping's physical condition did not allow him to make any expression, his heart was full of fear.
Although the furniture and furnishings of 301 in front of you can be said to be exactly the same as before, various strange changes have already occurred in the interior of this seemingly old and ordinary house.
The lights were on in the room, illuminating the red-painted furniture that had undergone strange changes.
An arm also covered in red paint began to stretch out from some red sofas. The palm was constantly turning and the fingers were opening and closing, as if something was trying to break free from this strange furniture.
As for the mahogany table that the old woman used to entertain guests, something is also abnormal now, because now there are two legs growing out from under the table, and the surface of the thighs is also covered with mottled red paint, although it is not as big as that one.
The arms that came out also began to move, but Li Leping had no doubt that if he continued to drag it on, the two legs would definitely start to walk.
There are also those posters with thumbtacks nailed to the four corners. Each character in the poster seems to have come alive at this moment, with a pair of empty eyes moving around on the dead face.
As Li Leping came to the door of 301, they even looked at him at the same time, which made Li Leping feel a strange chill, as if he was being stared at by a group of unclean things.
Various strange phenomena are constantly taking place in this house, but Li Leping has no time to hesitate. If it takes too long, the evil ghost in his hand will revive.
He walked directly into this strange room.
Somehow, after entering the room, if viewed from the outside, his figure began to become blurry, until finally he completely disappeared behind the door.
Even though the door was open, Li Leping was nowhere to be seen.
Everything outside the door returned to its original silence, except that the ghost smoke floating outside the door seemed to lose its restraint at this moment and began to spread everywhere. Through the windows and the entrance to the building, it began to move towards
It spreads outside the old building...
Mingyue Community, Room 301.
Under the dim, depressing light, Li Leping walked in with four ghosts on his back.
The moment he walked in, he once again cast his gaze at the posters pasted on the wall.
As a result, he found that as he entered, everything here seemed to be back to normal. Although the characters on the posters were still rolling their eyes, they just didn't dare to focus on him, as if they were deliberately avoiding him.
gaze.
I don't know whether he was afraid of him or the old man he was holding in his hands.
"Sure enough, this room is full of ghosts."
Li Leping discovered too many strange things in this room. This discovery was not just visual, because there was even a faint sound of music in his ears.
The gramophone placed somewhere had been turned on by someone unknown, and there was a record placed on the rotating turntable. As the needle slid on the record, strange music began to play from the large speaker of the gramophone.
Music that sounds very normal, in this weird place, exaggerates the terrifying atmosphere to the extreme.
Because no one would play music in such a dead place.
However, in such a strange place, Li Leping actually felt like the ghost inside his body was silent, as if he was being suppressed by some kind of vague suppression. The effect was not very strong, but there was indeed such a feeling.
Felt.
More terrifying places can naturally suppress the ghosts in the ghost rider's body to a certain extent. It's like riding on that weird bus. There's nothing surprising about it.
However, compared to the bus, whose rules have been gradually figured out, Room 301 in front of him is full of all kinds of weirdness and unknowns, so Li Leping does not dare to stay here at all, he just wants to solve the problem quickly, and then
Use the key to seal this place again.
"Find that bed first."
Ignoring the singing that surrounded his ears, Li Leping immediately started taking action.
He doesn't need to be too cautious now. For him, the most important thing now is to quickly deal with this most troublesome old man.
He moved his shoulders, lifted the puppet hanging on his shoulders to the ground, and then threw the puppet and the transfer ghost on the ground. Li Leping only carried the old man's body and walked deeper into the room.
There was obviously no bed in the living room, and in his line of sight, deep in the room, the bedroom doors on the left and right of the corridor were all visible.
"Um?"
Li Leping walked closer, then seemed to find something, and suddenly glanced at the door on the right with an expressionless expression.
Because the sound of music that sounded pleasant but actually shouldn't be there at all seemed to be wafting from this bedroom.
"Could it be here?"
Li Leping hesitated while carrying the old man's body.
He always felt that the music surrounding his ears was not that simple.
But this weird music does not seem to have any curse or supernatural attack effect, because Li Leping has been listening to it from the moment he entered the door until now.
Moreover, this weird music does not remain in people's consciousness like a music box. This music has been heard before and will not cause any changes at all.
However, since it exists in such a supernatural place, there must be a reason for its existence.
"Could it be a signal, similar to a lighthouse on the sea, to tell someone that this is his destination?"
With such a question, Li Leping chose to open the door on the right side of the corridor.
He didn't know the layout of the room that the old man had planned before he was alive, so now he could only explore it despite all the hidden dangers.
"Just take a look. If there is no bed, I will just close the door and leave. There are only two bedrooms here, either on the right or the left."
Crunch——!
The old wooden door was pushed open.
Unexpectedly, this bedroom also exudes dim, dim light. It seems that the light here has always been there and will not go out at all.
Li Leping did not walk in immediately, but leaned his upper body in and took a brief look.
However, the moment he saw the layout of the room clearly, his face immediately twitched, as if he wanted to make some kind of expression, but he was trapped in the state of his body, so he couldn't do it.
He saw a workbench with many broken pieces of cloth remaining on it, with some strange thin black hair simply sewn onto the cloth.
In the corner of the workbench is a rag doll that has not yet been completed. It has only been roughly sewn. The appearance of this rag doll is very familiar. It has rags, black threads like hair, and weird sewing methods. It was finally made.
Isn't it the scapegoat that the old woman asked Li Leping to deliver to the headquarters?
"It seems that this is where the old man made the death doll."
Li Leping was not surprised by this, but was slightly emotional.
After all, this old man is already dead, and the batch of scapegoats he handed over to the headquarters were also the last batch.
From now on, the scapegoat dolls will only become consumables that cannot be replenished. If you use one, you will lose one.
In the room, in addition to this workbench, you can also see a round wooden board. The wooden board is not thick, but it is hollowed out in the middle. It seems to be very suitable for placing something.
The female puppet has no legs and only uses a wooden stick as the lower body.
"It turns out that thing was originally here."
Li Leping's eyes lingered on the wooden board that was comparable to a model stand for a while, and then he saw a altar next to the wooden board.
This thing is an altar used to worship gods and ancestors. However, with the development of the times, it is no longer common in modern cities. However, many people can still see it placed in rural areas or some remote areas.
at home.
However, the strange thing is that the altar in front of me is empty, there is nothing worshipped, and there are no statues placed nearby.
"If you throw the transfer ghost in, the size will be quite suitable."
“And it’s very convenient, you can use it anytime.”
Li Leping roughly measured the size of the altar with his eyes and found that it was indeed quite consistent with the size of the transfer ghost.
My eyes continue to explore this bedroom.
Closer to the back of the door, he saw a drawing board and a small red-painted wooden stool in front of the drawing board.
It's just that the drawing board is facing away from him, so he can't see whether there are paintings on the drawing board or what the content of the paintings is.
As for an old gramophone, it was in the corner of the bedroom, still playing weird music.
"There is no bed in this bedroom, but it also reveals all kinds of weirdness."
There is a workbench for making scapegoat dolls, a wooden stand for storing female puppets, a drawing board used for unknown drawings, and a shrine that is suspected of storing transferred ghosts.
soon.
Li Leping retreated and closed the door.
Immediately, he turned behind him and came to the door on the left side of the corridor
Without fear or pause, he pushed the door open and entered.
There are only two rooms in this place. Since the right side is a place similar to a studio, the remaining room on the left should be the bedroom.
The moment he opened the door, before he even entered, Li Leping smelled a scent.
This is sandalwood.
When there is a meeting at the headquarters, someone will light sandalwood in the conference room in advance because they want to cover up the corpse smell wafting from the body of the ghost master.
Although everyone is dealing with dead people, and they have some of this smell on their bodies, if possible, who would want to stay in a place like a mass grave?
"This is it."
Li Leping walked into the room, and then his eyes moved slightly.
The lights were also on in the room, but the lights were yellow and dim.
And in this dim light, an old red lacquered wooden bed appeared in sight.
"found it."
There is no mistaking it, there is only one bed in this place.
