This cemetery located on the outskirts of Dachuan City has buried many people, including some people Li Leping knew.
And today, another person familiar to Li Leping will be buried in this place.
Chen Zhong's funeral is scheduled for today.
Very few people came to attend the funeral. Due to the particularity of the Ghost Shadow Head incident in Dachuan City, Chen Zhong, who suffered a supernatural invasion, could be said to have become a breakthrough. All the investigation teams under him were wiped out, and the rest were arranged at the headquarters in Dachuan City.
Personnel were also affected, and it can be said that there were almost all casualties.
Right now, only a few of Chen Zhong's old comrades in the army can help him organize the funeral.
However, this was a funeral without a memorial service and no farewell to the body.
now.
Several of Chen Zhong's old comrades-in-arms burned incense in front of the tombstone, toasted with wine, and burned the paper. After saying some words of nostalgia for the past, they left the cemetery with red eyes.
As they left, the cemetery, which was already deserted most of the time, became especially quiet.
The cemetery, which was rarely visited by people, has become extremely desolate due to the population migration caused by the Ghost Shadow Incident in Dachuan City. Looking around, there are rows of past tombstones all around. It can be said that it is basically invisible.
Find a few living people.
Li Leping, who had been standing in the distance and watching silently until Chen Zhong's comrades left, finally appeared in front of Chen Zhong's tombstone.
He looked at the newly erected tombstone and said nothing, just stood quietly.
Next to Chen Zhong's tombstone are the tombstones of his wife and children. He had specially set aside such a cemetery before, so that he could be buried next to his wife and children when he died.
However, since his body could not be recovered, what was sealed under the cemetery was only some of his clothes and an additional satellite positioning mobile phone that was buried at Li Leping's request.
This is the trace of Chen Zhong's existence.
At this time, He Xueyan came over carrying an iron bucket.
She had no friendship with Chen Zhong, but as the new liaison officer of Dachuan City, and out of respect for the victims, she naturally wanted to come over to pay homage.
Looking at Li Leping standing silently in front of the tombstone, He Xueyan did not take the initiative to disturb him.
"coming?"
On the contrary, it was Li Leping who took the initiative to say hello.
"Well, I just arrived, so I came over to take a look."
As He Xueyan answered, he lit three incense sticks, inserted them into the earth-filled incense burner, and began to burn paper money.
Li Leping returned to his original stiff appearance and stopped talking.
The flames burned in the iron bucket, burning the stacks of paper money thrown into it. Smoke rose in the firelight, and a few wisps of paper ash that could not be burned were also floated up, some of which even reached Li Leping's body.
On the body.
But he still stood there quietly, like a stiff corpse, paying no attention to the things around him. Even his eyes were cold and numb, and there was no sign of sadness at all.
Li Leping knew the reason very well.
For him, it is no longer a question of whether the evil ghost's erosion is deep or not.
His body had already perished with the supernatural collision in Mingyue Community. Now he is just an alien who relies on the supernatural powers of forgotten ghosts to maintain his consciousness, and then uses this consciousness to control sleepwalking ghosts.
Joy, sadness, anger...
Many emotions that should belong to humans no longer exist in him, because now not only is his body a ghost, but his consciousness is also walking with ghosts.
If it were Li Leping standing in front of the tomb, even if he couldn't cry, he would at least remember him in front of the tombstone instead of just standing there doing nothing.
Emotions are disappearing. If you lose emotions, you will also lose many motivations for action.
For him now, silence may be the best way to mourn.
"I have looked through Chen Zhong's files and he is a very responsible liaison officer."
After burning the paper money, He Xueyan stood up straight again, walked to the tombstone, folded his hands in front of his belly, bowed three times in front of the tomb, looked at the name on the tombstone and said.
"Yes, very responsible."
Li Leping will not deny this.
However, after saying these words, the atmosphere suddenly froze again, and the two people standing in front of the tombstone fell silent, not knowing what to say.
"Has anything happened recently?" Li Leping asked after a while.
During this period of time, Li Leping, who had to re-control the man-hunting ghost and was busy suppressing the supernatural leakage of the sleepwalking ghost, naturally had no time or inclination to contact the headquarters.
And the headquarters seemed to have forgotten that people like him existed, and they were in a magical state.
If it weren't for the fact that He Xueyan would officially come to Dachuan City today to take over the position of liaison officer, I'm afraid many people in the headquarters would have forgotten that there is a captain-level ghost controller in Dachuan City.
It is precisely because of this blank period that Li Leping did not have the opportunity to fully understand the situation in the outside world.
He disappeared for three months. According to the speed of death in the supernatural circle, three months was enough for a lot of things to happen.
"There are three more important things."
He Xueyan, who was obviously prepared in advance, immediately reported: "Li Jun, who was defined as dead, came back online and resumed his position as captain. I don't know the specific process. The headquarters is only willing to disclose this simple information. If you want to find out,
If so, you may need to go to the headquarters in person."
"oh?"
This first thing was something Li Leping didn't expect.
It is theoretically impossible to reverse life and death, but for the supernatural world, it is not difficult to resurrect the dead with some special and weird methods.
But if a ghost master is resurrected, and if this revived ghost master is enough to serve as the captain, then things are not that simple.
Some of the captains who have been appointed by default can be said to be related members, but even if they are related captains, if their own strength and status in the headquarters are not high enough, they will not be qualified to become related members.
"Is it Mr. Qin? Or Wang Xiaoming?"
Li Leping narrowed his eyes, but he did not directly attribute the success of Li Jun's resurrection to Mr. Qin.
Because in his opinion, Bruspie, who was suffering from cancer and would not live long, was also not simple.
After all, didn't Wei Jing, who was also confirmed to have been resurrected as a ghost, come back to life under his plan?
However, Li Jun's return to the Internet is actually a good thing for Li Leping.
Although he was not very familiar with Li Jun, he was assured of Li Jun. Even if this loyal ghost controller was not a friend, he would not be an enemy.
"continue."
Li Leping became more and more interested in what happened during this time.
"The second thing is that the starving ghost imprisoned in the headquarters was stolen."
"Um?"
As soon as he heard the news, a trace of surprise appeared on Li Leping's face. He immediately turned to look at He Xueyan and said coldly: "Have you found out who did it?"
"Not yet, but the place where the Starving Ghosts are held is a secret among secrets. Not many people are qualified to know it. Especially after the incident in Dajing City, only a few people can know the place where the Starving Ghosts are held. And then
In addition, there are not many ghost masters who are capable of doing this, so although the headquarters has suspects, it cannot be sure who did it." He Xueyan replied.
"I should also be on the suspect list, right?"
Li Leping looked at He Xueyan, no emotion could be heard in his voice, and it was a bit chilly.
He Xueyan, who was caught between the headquarters and Li Leping, naturally would not answer this question head-on.
However, acquiescence is actually equivalent to admission.
Li Leping was silent for a moment.
Because he didn't expect that He Xueyan would tell him such shocking news.
The headquarters was invaded and the Starving Ghost was stolen by someone.
Compared with this incident, Li Jun's resurrection seems not worth mentioning.
This is not only because of the terror of the starving ghost, but also because the starving ghost carries a coffin nail on its body.
If the starving man was stolen, then the coffin nail was undoubtedly stolen as well.
The hidden dangers caused by this kind of thing are unimaginable. Even in Li Leping's view, the threat of the starving ghost is not even as good as that nail in the coffin.
The nail in the coffin that can completely suppress a ghost instantly when inserted into it is also a nail in the coffin that can be used to kill ghost masters.
It doesn’t matter whether you restart or not, as long as you are nailed by a nail, you still have to stick your butt out and become Ye Zhen.
"Forget it, if you doubt it, just doubt it."
Li Leping was magnanimous and didn't care about the headquarters' thoughts at all.
Although he is the captain of the headquarters, the position of captain is essentially dispensable to him.
To put it bluntly, the headquarters is now begging him to protect Dachuan City, and he really needs Dachuan City to protect his bottom line and humanity, so he is willing to take over the position of captain.
To be clear, he is not the one asking for help, he is the one being asked for.
"What's the third thing?"
Li Leping changed the topic back and did not think too much about the starving ghost being stolen.
"The third thing is about Yang Jian, the captain of Dachang City."
He Xueyan continued to report: "Captain Yang Jian of Dachang City came back online after being missing for seven days. Because of his disappearance during this period, his team seemed to have suffered a big loss without him in charge. Now captain Yang
After he came back online, he has already released news in the supernatural circle, claiming that he is going to Dadong City for revenge."
"Yang Jian also went online after disappearing?"
Li Leping was confused when he heard the news.
"Is he going to control that ghost head? And now it seems that he has succeeded."
Li Leping did not expect that during the period when he was busy recovering his strength, Yang Jian would successfully control that terrifying ghost head.
"Is there a person in charge in Dadong City?" he then asked.
"Yes, in fact Dadong City is controlled by a captain named Wang Chaling."
Knowing that Li Leping had been isolated from the outside world for a long time, He Xueyan, who was not clear about the current situation, immediately introduced him and at the same time took out a file from his personal password box.
It seemed that she had already planned to report and had compiled the information in advance.
This is what satisfies Li Leping the most.
He doesn't need the person next to him to be beautiful or sweet-talking.
In this era of supernatural resurgence, it's natural to have someone smarter by your side.
Li Leping took the file and briefly read it.
What comes into view is a photo of a young man who is handsome and seems to have a very elegant temperament.
Next to it are relevant introductions.
Name: Wang Chaling.
Sex: Male.
Age: twenty-eight years old
Household registration: Dadong City.
Degree: Master.
The file information is very ordinary, it contains some very basic identity information, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.
This is normal. No ghost master would make key information public.
In a supernatural world where the weak prey on the strong, such behavior is tantamount to seeking death.
"Here are some of the latest information that I have compiled in recent times. You can check it out when you have time."
After briefly describing a few necessary and important things, He Xueyan directly handed the lockbox she was carrying to Li Leping.
The files inside are not too thick, and it can be seen that they have been carefully selected, and old and unused information has been screened out in advance.
"good."
Li Leping praised He Xueyan's high efficiency, and then asked: "Is there any news about the person named Rong Yuansheng that I asked you to investigate before?"
"There is news. What you asked me to bring has been conveyed to his family. I also followed your instructions and remitted a sum of money to them from your personal account."
Speaking of this, He Xueyan added: "Actually, you don't have to pay for it yourself. For people like this who clearly died in a supernatural incident, the headquarters will provide compensation."
"It's okay, money doesn't mean much to me. I have lived in a welfare institution since I was a child. The food, clothing and housing are not luxurious, but I don't have to spend any money." Li Leping answered her like this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "By the way, has the headquarters arranged an office location for you?"
Suddenly, he thought of this matter again.
"Not yet. The headquarters' opinion will be based on your thoughts first."
He Xueyan replied.
"Just make your own choice and set it up wherever you like. If anyone disagrees, let him come to me."
"And your cousin, you can pick her up when you have time."
Li Leping made arrangements.
He doesn't need to plan anything in detail, he just needs to make a promise.
After all, no one in Dachuan City has the qualifications to refute the captain of Dachuan City.
"Thank you." He Xueyan expressed his gratitude.
"Don't thank me. There are fewer and fewer people I know, and there will only be fewer and fewer people who know me. So even if I can keep one, you can just live and work normally in Dachuan City as before.
No need to feel any pressure, it’s best to be like Gu Li, be happy when you should be happy, and be serious when you should be serious.”
Li Leping said he didn't care, then took out a golden box from his pocket and handed it to He Xueyan.
The box is not big, and although the lid is closed, it is not closed tightly, and the open areas are not welded shut.
"What's this?"
He Xueyan did not open it rashly, because this kind of gold container was likely to contain evil spirits.
Even if it's not about ghosts, it's at least something related to the supernatural.
"My ghost domain is sealed inside, and the door frame where I am imprisoned in the ghost domain is also inside. Chen Zhong's death taught me a lesson, that is, I must at least find a way to leave some things in advance when I have to leave Dachuan City.
To prevent things from being stolen, your family won’t even know.”
Li Leping informed He Xueyan of the contents stored in the box, and then warned: "If you feel that the situation is wrong and I am not in Dachuan City, just open this box and I will handle the rest."
