"When did the headquarters start this kind of performance art?"
Li Leping, who was attracted to the scene, looked at the statue curiously.
In the supernatural world, gold is usually used to imprison ghosts, but he didn't think there would be a ghost imprisoned in this statue.
This is not an ancient hunter custom. Could it be that Cao Yanhua had the brainpower to allow a ghost to be placed in the lobby of the headquarters for people to watch in order to show off his prey?
"It is impossible for the evil ghost to be imprisoned and then placed here. This kind of fair and just way of displaying it for everyone to see is more like a symbol."
"But what does this mean?"
But just when Li Leping was thinking.
"A forgotten existence..."
A voice that seemed to have a long tone due to his age came into Li Leping's ears, and it sounded like he was describing him.
"Um?"
Mengdi.
Li Leping turned around and immediately saw an old man with wrinkles on his face and age spots standing behind him with a cane.
The old man is very old, and his energy and energy seem to be very low, giving people a sense of decay that he has little time to breathe and will die at any time.
"Mr. Qin?"
The two of them stood in the hall, looking at each other, but the surrounding headquarters staff ignored them and were still busy with the work at hand.
It was as if the staff were unaware of their existence.
In front of him, Mr. Qin, who had come behind Li Leping at some point, was looking at Li Leping with a pair of cloudy eyes. He seemed to be able to ignore the supernatural influence of the Forgotten Ghost, and was aware of Li Leping's existence in an instant, and was able to realize it for the first time.
I recognized him immediately.
And Li Leping did not continue to speak.
This old man who is like a mascot on weekdays is not that simple.
On weekdays, Mr. Qin seems to be an old man with nothing to do, holding his cane, walking and sitting around the headquarters.
However, any ghost controller would be afraid of this old man who is over a hundred years old.
This is a ghost controller from the Republic of China who mastered a large-scale reboot. Even though his life span is about to come to an end, his deterrence is still there.
No one doubts that even if all the ghost masters under the headquarters are present, they may not be enough for him to fight.
However, after Mr. Qin called out to Li Leping, he seemed to have stopped moving. He just stood there motionless with his cane in his hand.
"Mr. Qin."
Li Leping took the initiative to speak.
In his opinion, although the old man named Qin was scary, he did not confront him, and he was the captain of the headquarters. With a clear conscience, Mr. Qin would obviously not regard him as an enemy, let alone take action against him.
After hearing this greeting, Mr. Qin nodded slightly, and then seemed to really intend not to say anything, just to take a look at Li Leping, and then walked past Li Leping with a cane and came to the statue.
Next to the golden statue.
"So this statue is reserved for this old man?"
Looking at Mr. Qin standing next to the golden statue, Li Leping immediately came to a conclusion.
Mr. Qin couldn't hold it any longer, so he locked himself in the statue.
The golden statue standing in a conspicuous place in the hall is actually a warning to some people. Although Mr. Qin is in a very bad state, as long as the statue is placed here, no one dares to ensure whether he is really dead.
This is a kind of intimidation. The more a ghost controller is hanging on with only one breath, the more fearful he is, because everyone knows that he still has the strength to fight.
Mr. Qin plans to use this method to provide the final protection for this era.
"Do you want to ask him something?"
Seeing this scene, Li Leping had such an idea in his mind.
The old man in front of him is already very old and seems to be in a dying state. Maybe this will be the last time they see each other.
But Li Leping still has many unanswered questions in his heart.
"Mr. Qin, now is the time, maybe you can tell me the origin of that photo."
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Li Leping took a few steps forward and asked about the origin of the photo with the forgotten ghost.
Standing in front of the statue with a cane in his hand, Mr. Qin, who seemed to be sizing up the statue, did not look back and still stood there motionless.
"The photo was given to me by an old friend. When the ghost appears again, I will give the photo to the person who controls the ghost. This is what I should do."
Although Mr. Qin did not turn around, his old voice came slowly.
"What to do?"
Li Leping frowned slightly, and then expressed the doubts he had always had in his heart: "What are you planning? And what do you know?"
"Strictly speaking, I don't know much. I can only talk to my future self."
Mr. Qin's aging voice came again. Although he did not directly answer Li Leping's question, the information contained in his words was enough to make Li Leping's expression change.
Talk to your future self?
Can this be called "not knowing much"?
"Is this Mr. Qin's ability?"
No wonder it feels like Mr. Qin knows everything.
In Li Leping's view, this is a far more terrifying ability than prediction.
Maybe by restarting, we can make up for the countless mistakes we made.
Maybe the past can be changed, but there is always only one future.
Because of this, Li Leping did not choose to continue asking.
Because it doesn't make any sense.
Even if he asked and Mr. Qin really revealed to him the future he saw, it would have no meaning.
You know, Mr. Qin is not a noob like Xiong Wenwen who predicts problems will arise. Mr. Qin is a strange being who was born as a ghost in his mother's womb.
The future he said was bound to happen and was inevitable.
The future in Mr. Qin's eyes must be unique and difficult for others to change, because even if someone tries to change the future by modifying the past countless times, who can guarantee that the future that Mr. Qin sees will not be the one that has gone through countless modifications?
What’s the final answer?
This is like filling out an answer sheet. No matter how many times you correct it, the final score will be determined the moment the score comes out and cannot be changed.
No matter how many changes are made in the past, they cannot change the uniqueness of the future.
Unless Mr. Qin, a special being, can change the future by himself, let his future self, who keeps trying and making mistakes, tell him where the key points of failure are, and finally, after continuous improvement, come out with a correct future.
It was precisely because Li Leping realized this that he gave up and continued asking.
Because Mr. Qin may have tried the correct answer, or he may have failed after countless attempts.
But no matter what, if what is happening now is as expected by Mr. Qin, then Li Leping will have a very cruel fact to face.
That is, even if I know the future in Mr. Qin's eyes, it is meaningless.
If Mr. Qin has laid out the situation in advance, then the ghost controller in it will not be able to escape from this situation unless he surpasses him in predicting it.
Whether you resist or struggle, everything is bound to happen.
That's why Li Leping didn't want to know the future in Mr. Qin's eyes.
Because if he knew it, it might mean that his future was completely determined, and his every move would be unknowingly affected by this answer from the future.
The more you try to stay away from that future self, the closer you will get to that future self, and the influence is subtle.
If everything is destined, it would be better not to know anything.
After thinking about this clearly, Li Leping, who was no longer interested in future information, turned around and planned to leave.
He had to find a place to release He Xueyan and the others first.
"Li Leping."
However, when he was about to leave the hall, he suddenly heard Mr. Qin's voice again.
When Li Leping turned around, a low whisper echoed in his ears.
"Think about why you are here."
Why did you come here?
Li Leping couldn't help but be startled when he heard this question.
What do you mean why am I here?
Of course it was to send the operator He Xueyan back to the headquarters.
But obviously, this is definitely not the answer to Mr. Qin's question.
The purpose of Mr. Qin's words was definitely not to get Li Leping to answer him, it was more like hinting him something.
It's just that after Mr. Qin finished saying this, he stood in front of the statue and remained motionless, as if he didn't want to reveal anything more.
Li Leping took one last look at this old man who was full of secrets, and left without asking any questions.
It was silent, as if it had never happened before.
But Mr. Qin still stood in front of the statue, making no movement, and the staff coming and going did not notice his existence, as if Mr. Qin did not exist in reality at all and could not be seen with the naked eye.
Until some time later.
Mr. Qin, who seemed to have predicted something in advance, turned around and looked out the door of the hall with his eyes that seemed cloudy but could actually see everything clearly.
Outside the headquarters building, although the street lights on both sides of the road are on normally, there are always some places that the light cannot illuminate.
Suddenly.
"Tap."
In the deserted darkness, there was a sound of footsteps.
However, the strange thing is that there is no one on the road at this time.
It seemed that an invisible person suddenly came here, but after realizing that Mr. Qin was aware of him, he left in a hurry.
This invisible person seems to be very afraid of Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin also withdrew his gaze at this moment.
He seemed to have expected that someone would come to the headquarters to test him at this time. He also knew who the person was and what their intention was, so he stood here in advance to wait for him.
But Mr. Qin did not choose to take action to keep the other party.
This does not mean that Mr. Qin has no ability to keep him, but it is a kind of tacit consent.
He acquiesced to the arrival and departure of the other party, and allowed the other party to see that he was almost aging.
It seemed that only after the other party saw him like this, did the other party dare to let go and do something.
However, everything that happened after that seemed to be within Mr. Qin's expectations.
