In order to allow the four envoys placed in the temple to leave smoothly, Li Leping had to take the initiative to walk out of the temple and get rid of the things that kept throwing dolls in from outside the door.
But the moment he walked through the crack in the door and came outside.
As soon as I went out, the surrounding light seemed to be deprived of the darkness shrouded outside the temple.
As soon as you step out of the temple, you will find that the outside world has become invisible, there is no light, and the moon in the sky has also lost its trace. It seems that outside the temple is a supernatural world that far exceeds conventional understanding. Human beings
The visual ability that we rely on for survival has no effect in this place, and we can only feel the endless darkness, which makes people's hair stand on end.
In such a terrifying world, even if a living person is lucky enough not to be killed by the wandering ghosts, he or she will get lost in this lightless world and die inexplicably.
"Over there."
Fortunately, thanks to the sleepwalker's body, even in the dark, Li Leping can still learn about all the things that exist in the darkness in an indescribable way, and will not get lost in the darkness.
And in the sleepwalking ghost's induction, he discovered something.
That thing is not far from the gate, only ten meters away at most.
It seems that this thing is the origin of the doll.
"Claw machine?"
However, somewhat unexpectedly, what appeared in Li Leping's induction was not a certain person, but an old machine.
No one knows how this machine appeared, let alone how it was placed here. They can only judge by the control panel and coin slot in front of the machine. This machine seems to have been out of business for many years.
It's a claw machine.
The surface of the claw machine is very old, and the paint has peeled off so badly that the original color cannot be distinguished. Even the glass windows have become dirty, making it impossible to see clearly what is placed inside.
However, in fact, Li Leping no longer needed to get close to observe what was inside the machine.
Because at this moment, this machine is like a money dispensing machine, which is constantly throwing out dolls with strange shapes. A pale dead hand is constantly stretching out from the exit, grabbing four dolls every time.
doll, and then threw the doll towards the temple in a weird posture.
It seemed that there was always someone hiding inside the claw machine. This person was constantly throwing the dolls out of the machine. Some of them even almost hit Li Leping, who was just rushing out towards the door.
"That's it."
Having determined his target, Li Leping immediately clenched the short stick in his hand and took a few steps forward, intending to deal with the thing immediately.
But I just took a few steps forward.
Many strange and terrifying auras appeared in the sleepwalking ghost's perception.
These breaths come from the figures staying not far behind the claw machine.
These figures were only two or three meters away from the claw machine, but for some reason they did not choose to move forward, but stood there stiffly.
If you take a closer look, you will see that the clothing styles of these people belong to different eras. There are men and women, old and young. They are all motionless, like dead corpses placed in the same place. The corpses have hardened and are densely packed. The number of them was so large that even Li Leping felt a little creepy.
The most troublesome thing for Li Leping was that in the sleepwalking ghost's induction, the terrifying ghost aura continued to grow.
This shows that there are still evil ghosts approaching, but because the claw machine first targeted the living people in the temple, other evil ghosts are temporarily unable to break through the supernatural power of the claw machine and launch attacks on the living people targeted in the temple.
"Sure enough, although this machine is an attack, it is also a protection. It temporarily stops the evil ghosts behind from attacking the temple."
The terrifying scene was just around the corner, but Li Leping did not stop because of it, and was still walking towards the weird claw machine.
"However, the number of ghosts is constantly increasing, and the obstruction of the claw machine is limited after all. As time goes by, more and more ghosts will target the living people in the temple. With the intensity of this attack, the claw machine will The special protection will inevitably expire at some point, so the ceremony on the third day must be completed as soon as possible. Only in this way can the temple door be closed again, and only by closing the door can the temple be isolated from the outside again."
Li Leping quickly made an accurate judgment.
Even if he disposes of the claw machine at this time, he who is closest to the claw machine is likely to be instantly targeted by the ghosts near the claw machine, but the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. There are not too many ghosts approaching now, and it is not scary. The sooner he disposes of the claw machine and ends today's ritual, the higher the probability of survival will be.
"Do it."
Immediately.
When Li Leping came to the claw machine, a black smoke filled the air around him. The ghost smoke emerged at this moment. Although it could not spread too far in this supernatural world, it was enough to cover him in an instant. In a ghost realm comparable to the fifth level of strength.
at the same time.
Li Leping, who was holding a black short stick, stared at the location of the outlet. When the arm that threw the doll from the claw machine reached out of the outlet, without a moment's hesitation, Li Leping suddenly swung the short stick towards the outlet. He smashed it with the outstretched palm.
this moment.
The supernatural power of the stick itself and the curse of the ghost tattoo tattooed on the surface of the stick broke out at the same time.
"Ah~!"
Suddenly, the moment it hit the arm, the claw machine suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, a weird and pitiful scream echoed inside, which made people's hearts tremble.
"withdraw."
At the moment when he heard the cry, he was not even sure that the ghost in the claw machine had been completely suppressed by the short stick. When the short stick hit the ghost in the claw machine, Li Leping immediately prepared to turn around and run towards the sensor. The location of the gate.
It wasn't that he was careless, but that he really didn't dare to stay too long this time.
Because there are a lot of ghosts behind the claw machine, if you run slower, you may be targeted by one or two ghosts with a high level of terror, which will affect your retreat speed.
And in this situation, once the retreat is not timely, the subsequent problems that will be faced will undoubtedly become more serious by the second.
But things still seemed to be a little beyond Li Leping's expectations.
"Um?"
After he successfully attacked the ghost in the claw machine with a short stick, he stopped his hand and retreated, preparing to turn around and retreat.
moment.
Suddenly there was a cluster of light in the dark environment.
The yellowish light is undoubtedly particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
The source of the light is also clearly displayed in the darkness.
Behind the claw machine, a shapeless thing that looked like a human-shaped black shadow appeared in the center of the light.
This human-shaped black shadow has a hunched back, like an old man who cannot straighten his back.
And in the hand of this dark shadow, he actually held a black lantern.
The light was emitted from the lantern held by this dark figure.
