When he got downstairs, Li Leping was holding a lantern in his hand like a watchman. The faint blue firelight shone through, and he could see an old building wrapped in thick smoke.
For some reason, there seemed to be something in that building that attracted the ghost smoke, so that in the densely smoked community, the amount of smoke gathered near the residential building was the most alarming, as if there was a fire there, and the thick soot was
It was permeating the air inside and outside the building, covering up all traces of the building's existence. If it weren't for Li Leping's familiarity with the landmarks here, he might have mistakenly thought it was a tornado formed by the gathering of thick smoke.
But just when Li Leping approached, intending to take a look at the situation.
Suddenly, the thick smoke surrounding the residential building seemed to be attracted by something, began to dissipate quickly, and then gathered in another place.
Spreading out, gathering together, the smoke changes position in this way.
"A scapegoat?"
Although there was a slight distance, Li Leping still recognized what that short and strange figure was.
It was a rag doll that was thrown out of a window on a certain floor. After it landed on the ground, it turned over, jumped up, and started running with its short legs.
It seemed to be planning to run towards Li Leping immediately, that is, towards the third row of buildings in Mingyue Community.
However, the next second, it seemed to see Li Leping standing in front of it, and then changed its direction and ran in the opposite direction to Li Leping's location.
The scapegoat doll attracted the ghost smoke, causing the thick smoke to start moving away from here, and continued to chase the rag doll that ran away.
In an instant, the lingering burnt smell in the air became much lighter, and the cold air lingering around him gradually faded away.
"Someone used a scapegoat to attract ghost smoke in order to survive?"
Unless Wang Xiaoming lost his mind and sold the scapegoat, only the ghost controllers at the headquarters can own the scapegoat.
"Is he from the headquarters?"
"Could it be that it's really Yang Jian?"
Li Leping looked at the old building where the doll was thrown, and his eyes swept across the walls that were blackened by thick smoke. The windows were also dark, and he couldn't see anything at all.
He could not confirm which floor or house the scapegoat was thrown from, but he had determined the building where the doll was thrown.
Immediately, he walked silently towards the building, without making a sound, as if he had never existed in this place, without any sense of existence, and without being noticed.
"I'm lucky to have survived. I'll wait for the news from the captain."
In a certain house on the second floor, Li Yang, who had a sallow complexion, was sitting on the door behind him, breathing in the slightly less choking air and relaxing his tense body.
After the continuous confrontation, although he did persist to an almost extreme state, he bought more time for Yang Jian.
But this also made him look a little miserable at the moment.
The originally pale face turned sallow and thin, as if dehydrated, and the body showed some signs of decay, like a corpse that had just died, emitting a faint corpse smell.
"It's time to go find the captain."
But Li Yang's will is obviously extremely firm. Moreover, although the life span of the ghost controller is short, before the ghost is revived, the ghost controller's body can still move tenaciously no matter how dilapidated it is.
His face twitched, he took a breath of cold air caused by the severe pain in his body, and then he stood up unsteadily, holding on to the wooden door behind him.
"Crack-!"
Suddenly, there was another crisp sound in the living room where no one was already there.
It sounded like someone accidentally kicked a porcelain cup that fell to the ground.
But the problem is that there will be no human activities except for them in the community, let alone anyone who dares to come to a room that has just been searched by a ghost.
Suddenly, the sound coming from outside the door made Li Yang's slightly tired eyes suddenly alert. His eyes flickered and became a little fierce, with a touch of unnoticeable panic hidden in them.
"Are you kidding me? The ghost is back again?"
His body trembled violently, and he broke out in cold sweat.
How long did it take for the scapegoat to run away?
Ten seconds?
Less than twenty seconds at most.
But just over ten seconds later, the scapegoat was caught up and killed, and the ghost immediately returned.
"I'm Li Leping, are you Yang Jian? Or who else?"
The next second, a greeting sounded that made Li Yang's scalp tingle the most.
The tone of the voice was dull, without any human emotion.
Subconsciously, Li Yang glanced at the corner of the room.
It was a mummy that was thrown to the ground by Yang Jian, still wearing a uniform of the person in charge.
On the clothes, three words were clearly written on the polished label.
Li Leping.
"What a hell!"
How could Li Yang answer the questions coming from outside the door?
Suddenly, he couldn't care less about the pain caused by the evil ghost's erosion, and immediately rushed towards the broken window not far away, intending to escape.
This damn place is not meant for humans at all.
Is this the first Li Leping he has met?
Li Yang didn't have time to think too much, but just when he had one foot on the window edge.
"Crunch——!"
There was a harsh friction sound on the hinges, and the ghost making the noise outside the door finally wandered over at this moment and pushed the door open.
Suddenly, Li Yang stepped on the window frame with both feet, and jumped down.
And the moment he jumped out, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at the ghost who walked in after pushing the door open.
It was a face, a face as pale as death. The appearance on the face felt extremely strange to Li Yang, because he had never seen this person before.
"thump!"
Li Yang landed steadily, but when he landed, he inevitably felt a sharp pain in his body, which made him twitch. However, he quickly straightened up and ran towards Building 7 as if running for his life.
I stumbled a bit while running.
He was going to meet Yang Jian.
At the moment he got up and ran, he turned back again and looked at the room with the broken window.
A faint blue light shone from inside, like a will-o'-the-wisp in hell, making the bedroom bright.
The moment he looked towards the room, Li Yang's eyes suddenly shrank.
Because he saw that the person he had never seen before had already walked to the window, lowered his head slightly, and stared at himself who was busy escaping with a pair of extremely numb eyes.
"ghost."
For a moment, Li Yang withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at that weird man who looked no different from a dead person.
He knew that the thing that walked in from the door and stayed by the window looking at him must be a terrifying ghost.
"It's a pity that Li Leping's body could not be taken away, especially the short stick. I don't know if that ghost thing will take it away?"
Along the road he had walked, Li Yang ran towards the third row of residential buildings, thinking in his heart.
He left in such a hurry that he left Li Leping's body and the short stick in the bedroom.
