The two sides were locked in a stalemate between darkness and light.
Until Gu Li made another move.
I saw that he took out a piece of white paper and a small golden box from his arms.
That piece of white paper looked very familiar to Li Leping.
It is unmistakable, it is the blank photo paper used by the Ghost Photo Studio when distributing tasks.
Then, as if performing some kind of ritual, Gu Li opened the back cover of the ghost camera and took out the film.
What was printed on the film was not a beautiful picture, but a vicious ghost that was active in the town just now.
But Li Leping keenly observed that only one frame of the film in Gu Li's hand was occupied by a ghost.
But this is not normal.
Because according to the two shooting missions of the ghost photo studio, the film in Gu Li's hand should be the same as Li Leping's. There should be two scenes occupied by ghosts on the film.
The only possibility is that another ghost in the film has been released.
At this time, Gu Li took out the film, spread it out, and put the blank piece of photographic paper and the small golden box together.
Then, he took out a golden knife.
The knife was drawn along the black dividing line of the film, neatly cutting out the film showing the ghost.
A piece of film with a black frame and a silver background was held in Gu Li's hand.
The content of the film is a bit blurry, and only the outline of a human figure can be seen standing stiffly in the center of the frame.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Li Leping asked himself in his heart.
That is at this time.
Gu Li said without looking back: "Watch it."
Immediately, he picked up the golden box he placed on the ground and opened it.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light shined inside the box.
This was the second ghost controlled by Gu Li. Although Li Leping didn't know its code name, there was no doubt that this white light was that ghost's ability.
At this moment, something seemed to be vaguely reflected in the white light. Things inside looked chaotic, the light seemed not pure, and there was something unclean mixed inside.
It's like a bunch of sesame seeds have been mixed into the dough.
When the golden box was opened, for a moment, Li Leping even saw the things inside the light starting to show signs of struggle.
Immediately, a ball of white light suddenly began to shake violently, as if something inside might come out at any time.
"A ghost restricted by the ghost realm?"
First use the ghost realm to temporarily restrict it, and then stuff the ghost realm and ghosts into the golden box.
Li Leping was not surprised by this. After all, as the person in charge of a city, Gu Li certainly had to deal with more supernatural events than the ghost photo studio.
In this era of frequent supernatural occurrences, who knows how many supernatural incidents Gu Li has solved in Daxi City?
However, the level of terror of these evil spirits should not be very high.
After all, although the older generation of ghost masters during the Republic of China liked to be Riddlers, they must have strict restrictions on the most terrifying ghosts.
Even the problem of the ghost's resurgence after their own death, they have found ways to deal with it temporarily.
Because of this, there has not been, or rather has not been, an S-class incident in the country.
That's when.
Gu Li took a look at the golden box he opened, and then handed it over without any hesitation.
Handed into the endless darkness.
Suddenly.
"Pfft."
In the quiet ghost photo studio, the yellow chandelier on the ceiling suddenly began to flicker for no reason.
The air was suddenly filled with an inexplicable coldness, as if a cold wind was blowing, and the surrounding temperature also dropped sharply.
Gu Li's behavior seems to have triggered a certain pattern in the ghost photo studio.
A terrifying scene appeared.
In the dark corner, the black figure actually moved.
To be precise, its limbs did not move at all.
But just as the lights flickered, it appeared in front of Gu Li.
However, its appearance is still hidden in the darkness that persists, making it impossible to see its true appearance, and even its existence cannot be confirmed.
And just then.
A hand, a skinny hand with a dark brown complexion and covered with corpse spots, stretched out from the darkness.
"What the hell?"
Li Leping felt horrified and stared at the strange hands stretching out from the darkness.
The terrifying palms are simply the hands of a dead person, even a corpse that has been dead for a long time can have such hands.
On the other side, Gu Li's expression remained as usual, as if this terrifying hand did not pose any threat to him.
A cold hand with five fingers spread out stretched out from the darkness, as if it had a specific target, and immediately grabbed the golden box in Gu Li's hand.
Gu Li just watched with a normal expression as the strange dead hand took the golden box from his hand.
The golden box was quickly grasped by skinny fingers and carried into the darkness without leaving any trace.
But soon.
"Bang!"
In the endless darkness, something was suddenly thrown out.
It was a small golden box, but the inside of the opened box had become empty. Both Gu Li's ghost light and the ghosts trapped inside had disappeared.
"Did you get taken away by that ghost?"
Li Leping stared at the figure hidden in the darkness, only half an arm away from Gu Li.
Although he couldn't see clearly what was hidden in the darkness that occupied a corner of the ghost photo studio, he could still clearly see every move of the figure in the darkness.
It was this ghost that reached out and took away the ghost in Gu Li's hand.
But the transaction seemed to have progressed to the next step, and everything around it returned to silence.
The ghost in the darkness took the ghost from Gu Li's hand.
According to the laws of logic, since it is a transaction, then it should be the person's turn to make a claim.
Li Leping did not make a sound at this moment, but held his breath and silently observed Gu Li's next movements.
Gu Li, on the other hand, stacked the newly cut film and blank photo paper in his hand and handed them over.
There are mission requirements written in crooked black fonts on the back of the photo paper.
Soon, the figure in the darkness moved.
It raised its arm and stretched out its withered palm from the darkness again.
The palm of his hand took away the photo paper and film in Gu Li's hand, and then escaped into the darkness again.
But this time, the figure in the darkness did not stand still.
It turned around slowly, as if walking toward deeper darkness.
"Deal is done?"
Li Leping's eyes were solemn. He witnessed Gu Li's every move, and each step of the process was deeply imprinted in his mind.
However, he didn't know what these actions represented, and could only barely surmise that this was a deal with a ghost.
What would you do with a ghost in exchange for a ghost of unknown horror in the darkness?
And the figure in the darkness disappeared deeper into the darkness.
If you don’t know better, you might think that this ghost wants to renege on your debt, so he takes the stuff and runs away.
But Li Leping knew that this was definitely impossible.
Ghosts are scary things, but they are also very reasonable.
It's just that the rules of truth are all formulated by it...
