Li Leping, who walked to the chair to check the situation, was very sure that the chair was just an ordinary chair and had no supernatural power at all.
As for whether sitting on a chair will attract attacks from evil spirits, Li Leping was not sure, but he felt that the chair should not be the key. Otherwise, there were so many people sitting on chairs in the whole unit building at that time, why would they only
Was such a person killed?
Li Leping tried to open the computer on the table.
As a result, the computer did not respond at all, as if it was broken.
"Has the computer been eroded by supernatural beings?"
The possibility of obtaining new information seems to have been cut off.
"Conjectures without intelligence support are just nonsense after all. Since there is no problem in this place now, I will go and see what happened when the incident occurred."
After looking around and confirming that he had made no omissions and that there was no way to grasp the new information in the normal way, Li Leping planned to use a more intuitive way to understand what happened at that time.
"follow me."
He took a few steps back and took He Xueyan out of the bedroom, but he did not go far and stopped at the door of the bedroom.
He Xueyan, who followed Li Leping out of the bedroom, asked: "What? Did you discover anything?"
"Not yet, but there will be soon."
Li Leping didn't explain much. At this moment, he raised his hand, and a moon that seemed to have shrunk countless times appeared out of thin air.
The shape of the moon was like a hooked bow, suspended in his hand, exuding a faint cold aura.
The strange aura made the light emitted by the moon seem a bit cold, making people feel an inexplicable chill.
"This is……"
He Xueyan on the side looked at the crescent moon emerging from Li Leping's hand. She was a little shocked by such a magical scene.
Although she knew that Li Leping's methods were weird and the supernatural power he controlled was far beyond what ordinary ghost controllers could match, the image of holding the moon in his hand looked too mysterious in anyone's eyes.
The moonlight shone like a silver gauze on his cold face, adding a mysterious aura to his already unfamiliar face.
At this moment, in addition to his identity as a ghost controller, Li Leping also had a halo that looked a little sacred due to the moonlight.
However, Li Leping himself obviously didn't care about other people's opinions. He controlled the light of Ghost Moon and kept gathering the light that shone in all directions, until finally there was only one light shining directly in front of him.
A moment.
The moonlight shining straight ahead quickly illuminated the bedroom.
The bright light clings to every inch of the floor and every piece of furniture in the bedroom like fireflies.
It is precisely under such coverage.
An indescribable and strange change occurred.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the blood stains on the dead chair suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, and returned to its original brand-new appearance.
And on this brand-new chair, a slightly illusory figure appeared, with a black and white color and a very unrealistic look.
He was a young man in his early twenties, with an ordinary appearance, a bit thin and frail.
"This is the victim."
He Xueyan opened his eyes wide in disbelief and saw clearly what the figure who suddenly appeared looked like.
The appearance of this man was exactly the same as that of the long-dead victim.
No, not only the appearance is the same, the behavior of the two at this moment is even the same.
"Da da da."
As soon as this figure appeared, he began to sit on a chair and type on the keyboard. He turned a deaf ear to the two people standing at the door of the room, as if he was not on the same timeline as them at all. He could not see them, let alone interfere with them.
.
"This is something that happened in the past, just treat it like watching a movie."
While Li Leping explained to the surprised He Xueyan beside him, he walked up to the back of the man. However, the man sitting at the computer desk seemed to be too focused and did not notice his arrival at all.
In fact, the man who appeared was not a real person at all, but an image left in the past that was now revealed through supernatural means.
The computer that had been damaged by supernatural erosion also resumed operation at this moment. Looking through the lit screen, Li Leping could see clearly what the man sitting in the chair was doing.
This person is writing an outline. Looking at the content of the outline, it should be a description of the main plot and important characters of a certain novel.
"Are you writing a novel?"
Li Leping casually glanced at the contents of the document and felt that it was normal for this guy to write a book and hit the streets. The routines he used were basically those from more than ten years ago, such as the annulled engagement style and the King of Soldiers style. Nowadays,
Book lovers have basically given up on this idea. They will even skip the book directly after seeing these words, and naturally their grades will not improve.
However, even if Li Leping had the intention now, he would not be able to remind the author.
After all, this author is already as cool as the bit player in his book.
Now, all Li Leping can do is wait quietly.
The ghost moon illuminates the past of this bedroom, and some things that have happened will be replayed in the moon's illumination.
Just like what Li Leping said to He Xueyan, this is just a movie.
Li Leping was like watching a movie, witnessing all this from a third-party perspective, seeing clearly the murderous ghost and analyzing why the ghost killed people.
Time passes gradually.
The movie seems to be coming to an end.
At this time, the man sitting at the computer desk seemed a little tired from typing. He glanced at the time: "It's almost twelve o'clock. Get ready to go to bed and check your phone."
Behind him, Li Leping was sitting on the bed, silently observing the man who was about to finish his work for the day.
The man who had no idea about this continued to code, but the speed of coding was obviously much slower than before, as if he had entered a fishing state near the end of the day.
“I don’t know very well how many words people who write online novels have to write in a day, but can someone who only writes 800 words in an hour really be able to write online novels?”
Leaning against the door frame, He Xueyan, who was also observing the situation, seemed to be a little bored with waiting, and could not help but complain at this moment.
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Even if he can only code ten words a day, that is his own business."
Li Leping still sat motionless on the mattress, waiting for the moment of terror.
Suddenly.
"Pfft——!"
The room seemed to have a sudden power outage, and the lights on the ceiling and the computer on the table went out without warning.
The room instantly became dark, and it became impossible to see even one's fingers.
"Damn, what's going on? There's another power outage?"
However, the man sitting on the chair didn't think much about it. He just turned sideways out of instinct, looked up at the extinguished light on the ceiling, and cursed casually as if he was used to the frequent power outages in this place.
.
But at the same time.
Li Leping, who was sitting behind him, stared intently at the computer screen in front of the man, as if he had seen something worthy of his attention.
That's a pair of hands.
A pair of pale, skinny hands with corpse spots on them, as if they had been dead for many days.
These dead hands seemed to have passed through the calm water, and they stretched out from the computer screen.
However, for such a terrifying thing, the man sitting at the computer desk was completely unaware of it. The darkness of the environment caused him to lose his ability to observe the outside world. At most, he felt that the air had become colder, and at the same time his nose
I also smelled a faint odor.
"What's so smelly? I didn't order stinky tofu takeout tonight."
The man who didn't realize the danger was coming even took out his cell phone and tried to activate the devil.
Anyway, the power is out now, and there is a reason not to continue typing, so now is naturally the time to take out the mobile phone and have fun.
However.
The moment the phone screen lights up.
"Ah~!"
The man screamed in terror.
What did he see?
A pair of pale, corpse-stained palms slowly emerged from the computer screen and stretched out towards him.
At such a close distance, the man had no time to escape, and his lower body was instantly grabbed by the outstretched dead hands.
"ah--!"
Time and space seemed to be frozen at the moment when the man screamed in despair, and there was no further progress.
Li Leping was able to roughly confirm the next development of the plot based on the autopsy report, and he had no intention of peeking into the scene that would make any male compatriot shiver down his spine.
What's more, there is a female compatriot standing at the door now.
The evil ghost has appeared, and it is enough that the images of the past stop at this scene.
"Is it over?"
In the direction of the bedroom door, He Xueyan hid at some point. After hearing no movement in the bedroom, he poked his head out of the door and took stock of the situation in the bedroom.
Li Leping glanced at her: "Do you want to continue reading?"
"No, no need."
He Xueyan waved his hand and refused with a serious face.
Although she didn't have the pendant, if she saw the pendant being torn off, she would still be so sick that she wouldn't be able to eat for several days.
Human psychology has a limit to what it can tolerate. Just like a person who has seen too many corpses may not be afraid of the dead, but if he is asked to restrain those corpses that died in tragic conditions, anyone will feel sick to his stomach out of physiological reasons.
It is a brand engraved in genes and cannot be avoided.
Li Leping just mentioned it casually and quickly returned his eyes to the front.
Under the illumination of the ghost moon, he had completely grasped the life trajectory of the deceased, and the picture also stayed at the moment when the deceased was attacked by the evil ghost.
Now is the time to analyze the killing patterns of evil spirits.
The light emitted by the ghost moon in his hand suddenly became a little more dazzling at this moment.
It was in this dazzling light that the scene in the bedroom also moved forward and backward, until it stopped at the moment when the ghost appeared.
"So sitting on the chair does have nothing to do with Li Gui's killing pattern."
Looking at the man with a horrified look on his face, holding the phone tightly in his hand and staring at the computer screen in front of him, Li Leping confirmed the first message.
The man died on this gaming chair, but sitting on the chair did not trigger the ghost's killing pattern. Otherwise, the man should have been killed by the ghost long ago, and it would have been impossible to delay it until now.
"He was still coding when he died. Although the attack by the evil ghost occurred after the electrical appliance went out, the extinguishing of the electrical appliance itself indicates that there is something supernatural nearby. That time period is when the evil ghost is targeting the deceased."
Li Leping moved his hand to the left, as if pulling the progress bar, and the scene in the bedroom moved forward for a few seconds, arriving at the second before the bedroom computer and the computer were turned off.
"Could the code word be the reason why he was targeted? But if that is the case, there should be more than one person who died. I have only received such an incident report so far, and there are no other corpses with the same death method.
Discover."
"What's more, this guy had been coding for a long time before he died, just like sitting on a chair. If coding would attract evil spirits, then he should have been targeted long ago. It is impossible to code after such a long time.
Targeted by ghosts."
Li Leping quickly denied this speculation.
While thinking, he rechecked what the deceased had typed on the computer before he died.
It's still a cliché plot, with nothing novel or noteworthy, and it doesn't look like it will attract the attention of evil spirits.
"Exclude all impossible variables, and all that remains is time."
Li Leping glanced at the lower right corner of the lit screen.
The time shows that it is now eleven fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds in the evening.
"So time is the key? Will you be targeted by ghosts at twelve o'clock in the evening?"
Li Leping's brows moved slightly. He felt that he had touched on the key point, but the answer he found was not complete yet.
Time is key, but it is only a key part. Other conditions should be met.
Otherwise, if the evil ghost would target the coder at twelve o'clock in the evening, then after so many days, it would be impossible for Dachuan City to only receive such an autopsy report of someone killed by a ghost.
Even if there are not many people who meet the conditions during that time period, in the face of the population base, there will never be too few people who meet the conditions at the same time.
After all, the concept of coding is very vague. Text typed while chatting with people at night, or text typed while working overtime can be counted as coding.
"Only one person has died so far, which shows that Li Gui's attack conditions are still very harsh."
Li Leping thought secretly, trying to find a guess that could narrow down the search conditions and be logical at the same time.
Suddenly.
His eyes moved, he kicked away the gaming chair blocking the table, and then came to the computer.
He reached out his hand again and touched the computer that was damaged and unable to boot due to contact with the supernatural.
"Chichi—!"
The computer made a sound of electricity, then miraculously resumed operation, and the screen lit up immediately.
"How did you do this?" He Xueyan asked curiously.
"Just erase the past that the computer suffered from supernatural erosion." Li Leping said casually, as if this matter was not difficult for him.
