Chapter 379 A chilling guess
“I don’t know if Zhou Deng succeeded.”
On a hillside a few kilometers away from Taiping Town, Zhang Lei was looking in the direction of Taiping Town. , "But this time when I came in, I felt that Taiping Town was a lot deserted, as if there weren't many people around."
"If the virtual game world is continuing this time, then this situation is normal. Don't forget The last time Cao Yang revived in Taiping Town, although he was later suppressed, many residents of Taiping Town were involved in the process, and those who survived were lucky to be alive," Li Leping said expressionlessly. .
The same is true for Suspension. He is targeting the ghost masters in the ghost street. Although Cao Yang is also targeting He Liansheng and Boss Liu, there are too many ordinary people involved.
Li Leping is not a Holy Mother, but he has always believed that matters in the supernatural circle should be resolved in the supernatural circle and should not involve ordinary people.
Cao Yang’s approach runs counter to his philosophy.
That is, this is the game world, that is, Cao Yang did not participate in this round of the game, that is, he left the game early, otherwise he would definitely have a good chat with Cao Yang.
Wei Jing was noncommittal about Li Leping's attitude. He looked at Liu San aside, "How is the situation?"
Liu San's paper figures were very effective in collecting intelligence.
After entering the game and confirming Taiping Town not far away, a few people did not act rashly because the world was too scary.
Just the owner of a paper-making shop in the ghost street in the town dealt with them so much that Li Leping had to use the method of resurrecting the ghost to exchange part of the points, and Zhang Lei growth.
There are no fewer than ten such shop owners in Taiping Town.
Even at the end of the game, the paper-making shop owner named Liu is not considered a BOSS, and he doesn’t even have a character card that can be redeemed for points.
You can imagine how difficult this world is.
If they don't get the chance to grow, if they go to Taiping Town or even go to the ghost street, they are going to die.
Despite what Li Leping said just now, they are not sure about the current timeline and background.
Zhou Deng is very stealthy and can go to the ghost street to detect specific intelligence information. However, Liu San has a large number of paper figures and can be used to detect more extensive information.
The two complement each other and can also obtain the most detailed information, allowing them to judge what to do next.
Liu San shook his head, "The situation in Taiping Town is a bit strange. There are basically few people, and we have received relatively little information. It will take time. What do you think our attitude towards Taiping Town should be?"
"It still depends on the specific situation. If the timeline is before the last round of the game, we can try to have friendly exchanges with the people in Taiping Town. They are a market and a group of bosses. As long as we do not show hostility, we should It won't be a big problem. After all, their strength is too terrifying. If we really have to fight head-on, we probably won't be our opponents. Moreover, Boss Liu has not been prompted to become a BOSS even if he fought against you. Is there any way to update the character card? Maybe, he was supposed to be our helper?" Wei Jing proposed an idea.
Li Leping said: "Your idea makes sense, but the possibility is not high. If it is after the last game incident, what are your plans?"
"If If nothing can be done, we must prepare for the worst. No matter how terrifying and powerful they are, we are the immortal players, but we cannot use resurrection coins in this game." Wei Jing's tone was calm, but his attitude was different. Very distinct.
Li Leping and Zhang Lei looked at each other and felt relieved.
They are really worried that Wei Jing will act like the captain of the headquarters and turn enemies into friends with Taiping Town. Now it seems that Wei Jing is still bloody.
"I still hope to find traces of the store manager, but it's a pity that the game world is limited. Otherwise, if I go to other cities, I believe I can find many secrets of this era." Zhang Lei sighed softly. He was very interested in history and felt even more for the store manager. interest.
He has not forgotten that he was able to jump from a poor guy on the verge of resurrecting a ghost to a captain-level ghost controller in one fell swoop, but it was all because of the "store manager".
Of course, he gave the "money" and relied on the resources of the headquarters, so he was also very grateful to the headquarters, that's all.
While playing games to gain game points, you can also explore the history of the store manager. This is a double benefit.
Moreover, this is also Cao Yanhua’s little request for them.
"If you want to find out the secret of the store manager, it's best to maintain a friendly relationship with Taiping Town, otherwise our identity will become a big problem. According to the information from your last round of the game, the store manager also came to the market, which means that he He is a member of the order of this era, just like his identity as the manager of the Peace Hotel, and he probably doesn't have a good impression of those of us who want to break the order," Wei Jing analyzed.
Zhang Lei said depressedly: "Looking at it this way, I really can only pray that the current timeline is earlier, otherwise we will be born with a negative impression in front of the store manager. If we really encounter it, forget it. The current store is not as scary as in reality, and it is definitely not comparable to us."
Wei nodded, everyone knew this.
In the end, what ultimately determines everyone’s attitude is to understand the background of the current era and the time relationship with the last game.
While he was talking, several paper figures ran over from a distance.
Everyone stopped their discussion and looked over. They saw the paper man standing in front of Liu San. After a while, Liu San's face darkened.
“Trouble.”
With one sentence, the faces of Li Leping, Wei Jing and Zhang Lei also darkened.
At the same time, at the head of Taiping Town, where the stone tablet reads Taiping Town, He Liansheng walked in front with a gloomy face, dragging a person in his hand, it was Zhou Deng.
Not long ago, Zhou Deng wanted to take away He Liansheng's ghost with a domineering look.
But what about now?
Zhou Deng closed his eyes, and his whole body exuded a cold and dead look, like a corpse, and the ghost in his body was silent and seemed to have disappeared.
Bang!
Throwing Zhou Deng in front of the stone tablet, He Liansheng looked not far away.
There were several paper figures scattered and hidden there. It was difficult for ordinary people to discover their existence, but He Liansheng found them in an instant.
"Hmph! A bunch of guys who are hiding their tails!"
He Liansheng snorted coldly and said to Boss Liu: "It's your turn to take action. Let this thief be here to warn the world and let them think about it. Consider the consequences of going against our Taiping Town!"
"You really think highly of me, forget it, I am just a toiler, I should be ordered by you."
Liu. The boss murmured as he lifted Zhou Deng up and threw him onto the tree trunk next to him.
Zhou Deng just leaned against the tree trunk like this, but if he looked carefully, his back was still some distance away from the tree trunk, and there was no support, but he just stood in mid-air, Chi It hasn't fallen off yet.
The simplest way to change distance.
He Liansheng noticed, "Your methods are very good, and your strength is also terrifying. It seems that you have really had an incredible adventure. Can you tell me about it when you have time?"
"Then No problem, but what should we do now? Do we want to stay here?" Boss Liu asked subconsciously, ignoring that He Liansheng was too young and was not the third-generation spiritualist he had known for decades.
He Liansheng asked: "How long can your supernatural power last?"
Boss Liu understood what he meant instantly and said with a smile: "It won't be too long, but a few days should be no problem. .”
"Okay, let's go. We're not the only ones here, there are some elders here, and they won't watch this group of outsiders mess around."
He Liansheng turned around and left.
Boss Liu now looks about the same age as He Liansheng, but after all, he has lived for decades longer, so he naturally understands what He Liansheng means.
The older generation will never take the initiative to intervene in the struggles of the younger generation.
But these young people went a little too far. They first attacked the guests who came to Taiping Town for the market, and then attacked the ordinary people in Taiping Town.
This method is no longer a fight between young people, but a war between Taiping Town and the so-called headquarters.
In this case, there is naturally nothing to say.
When this group of people appeared near Taiping Town, they might have been discovered by the bosses in the old street, but they had not yet figured out their details, so they just wanted to lure the snake out of the hole.
Of course.
It may also mean that it does mean to temper young people. It depends on what choices they, the younger generation, have to make.
Back in the old street, He Liansheng suddenly said: "You don't seem to care much about anything, just a few months ago, after you controlled the current ghost. If there is anything that is inconvenient to tell Uncle Liu, you can Tell me."
Boss Liu was stunned for a moment and shook his head with a wry smile. "You are still so sharp. My situation is a bit special, but don't worry, I will adjust myself as soon as possible."
He traveled through time decades later, and everyone sees his strength that is easiest to show, but the real difference is his current temperament and attitude towards things.
Just like he is with Lao Liu now.
Of course he is still Lao Liu's biological son. He can call him dad very easily without any psychological barriers. However, if he is to have the same fearful attitude as he did forty years ago, there is no way he can do it. possible.
Talking about adjustments was just to fool He Liansheng.
He longs for this friendship, but it is impossible for him to truly return to his youth like He Liansheng. Anyway, this is just a game.
"I hope so. The situation in the town has become more and more troublesome recently. We cannot always be an eagle that cannot fly into the sky under the protection of our fathers. After a while, I am going to go out for a walk. , you can come with me then, so that I can take care of you." He Liansheng sent out the invitation. Boss Liu nodded and said: "Okay, no problem."
It is very common to travel. He does have this event in his memory, but according to his memory, it should be a few years ago What happened later.
In his memory, he had just mastered his first ghost at that time and was qualified to travel. Following He Liansheng, who had been a ghost master for several years, he could not only increase his horizons, expand his contacts, but also maximize his potential. Reduce risk.
“History has changed. What will happen in this game?”
Boss Liu is full of expectations for this. In the past few decades, he has also left I have made many old friends. If I could see them again, I don’t know what it would be like.
Wait!
Boss Liu suddenly thought of something, "The most important thing is the store manager. If my memory has really been affected, does that mean that this is the real history? Or, the so-called virtual The game is not just a game, but a journey into the past through the supernatural power of the store manager? ”
Thinking of this, Boss Liu felt horrified.
“There are many supernatural powers that travel through time. Senior Meng Xiaodong’s supernatural powers can block the past, and the scope of the ghost domain can be restarted after its intensity reaches a certain level. However, these supernatural powers have various Restrictions don’t really mean going back to the past. What about the store manager?”
“What if? He really has such power. Now I am not in a false world, but have really returned to the past history. So what is the purpose of our appearance here? It is impossible for us to really play. A game, right?”
How could such a terrifying being do meaningless things?
Even if the game world is like a god, if you want to see what kind of wonderful performance ordinary people can show in this situation, it will not be free at all, right?
Like the Ghost Post Office, Caesars Hotel, etc.
Their operating rules are to cultivate powerful ghost controllers. The so-called delivering letters and escaping from the hotel are just processes and means. In the process, they will continue to become stronger until they surpass the horror of this mechanism. , is the ultimate goal.
What about the store manager Lin Yuan?
With his terrifying god-like strength, what effect and purpose do you want to achieve by using the so-called virtual game?
In this process, what position is Taiping Town in?
Today's Taiping Town is very popular, and there are not many young people, but definitely a lot. However, after more than ten or twenty years, Taiping Town suddenly went into depression, and in the end there were only four or five of them left.
Is everything I have experienced really what I remember?
Did Lin Yuan, the manager of Peace Hotel, really appear only once?
What kind of existence was he in the history of the rise and fall of Taiping Town?
Obviously the weather was not cold at this time, and Boss Liu had very good control over his supernatural power, but he only felt a chill emanating from deep within his body.
"What's wrong? You've been getting weirder and weirder lately. The last time you were like this was during the big episode where something went wrong a few months ago." He Liansheng frowned.
Boss Liu forced a smile and said, "A Sheng, do you remember Lin Yuan, the owner of the Peace Hotel?"
"Of course you do, he was a very scary guy. My dad And Uncle Liu was very afraid of him. Didn't he check into your hotel later and you didn't find out any useful information?" He Liansheng asked.
Boss Liu shook his head, "He is terrible, I don't dare to attack him at all."
"That's understandable. Unfortunately, something happened in the show later, and those guys from the headquarters He broke in and made our lives a mess. Lin Yuan didn't know where he went. He should have gone back to his Peace Hotel. This time I invite you to go out for a walk. I also want to find the Peace Hotel. Come and have a look. Let’s see what kind of place it is.” He Liansheng revealed the true purpose of the trip.
Boss Liu sighed, "If possible, I would also like to visit the Peace Hotel, but I'm afraid it's not that easy to find."
He Liansheng looked at him, "You seem to have some knowledge of the Peace Hotel. Maybe you can tell me?"
"No, at least not yet. I have some restrictions. Although I do know some things about the Peace Hotel, I have no way to tell."
After a while of silence, Boss Liu gave such an answer.
If he could, he really wanted to tell everything that happened in the next forty years, but there was no way. Whenever he had such thoughts, a fatal sense of crisis would hit him.
It's very inexplicable, but it's also extremely true.
If he really wants to ignore this sense of crisis and speak out, I am afraid that before he can say it, he will be attacked by unknown supernatural beings.
Not only is the person dead, but the message has not been delivered yet.
“It seems that you got this power at a price, so is the Peace Hotel the same as the post office in Dahan City? No, this style is more like the Caesar Hotel. . Sure enough, these restaurant owners and hotel owners are not easy to mess with, and their tempers are not very good. However, compared to the Caesar Hotel, the fact that you can come out now shows that the Peace Hotel lives up to its name, at least it will not be left behind. Those who meet the qualifications will be trapped and die inside," He Liansheng guessed.
In this era, ghost post offices, Caesars Hotel and other supernatural places are no secret to the paranormal circle.
certainly.
Under the management of Luo Wensong, the Ghost Post Office of this era is still operating smoothly and orderly, handling supernatural events in various places, and cultivating powerful ghost controllers. It is a representative place of order.
Caesar Hotel has some problems with its reputation.
The main reason is that the style of the Caesar Hotel is too overbearing. There are many people entering the Caesar Hotel, but there are almost no people walking out of the Caesar Hotel.
But everyone who walks out of the Caesar Hotel is also a powerful figure in the supernatural circle.
When speaking out this speculation, He Liansheng kept staring at Boss Liu's eyes, trying to find the answer he wanted from Boss Liu's reaction.
However, Boss Liu’s eyes made him confused.
It seems like I guessed it right, but it seems like... I guessed it wrong?
Boss Liu doesn’t know how to give tips, because he has never entered the Peace Hotel, and his understanding of the Peace Hotel is limited to He Yin’er’s story and the few times the “store manager” came here.
Including the virtual game incident he has personally experienced now, it is not clear what the reason is.
"If you have time, go to the tailor shop to make a dress. Anyway, your family owns a hotel and the business was good before. Tell Uncle Liu about this and he won't be stingy."
The clothes in the tailor shop are very good. Special, with strong supernatural protection effect.
The ghost shroud, as well as the clothes worn by He Yin'er later when he became the fourth generation spiritualist, are both works of tailor shops. They are also very scary and are rare protective supernatural items.
Boss Liu smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, I understand."
"It's just a casual comment. How can you care about it? A big man, still like this It’s so disgusting, I thought it was a woman if I didn’t know.”
He Liansheng snorted coldly and walked forward quickly.
But Boss Liu noticed that he looked a little embarrassed. He was obviously not used to this straightforward way of expressing his feelings, or he had the shyness of a young man and felt that it was very embarrassing. thing?
Boss Liu laughed loudly, "A Sheng at this time is much more alive than he will be decades later. Soul summoners, after all, are people who have died once. I didn't know it before , now I understand why Ah Sheng’s personality changed drastically after that day. It was probably that day when he became the third generation spiritualist. Time is running out, so we must cherish these days.”
There is no idea of stopping the inheritance of spiritualists.
Their generation has its own mission. Although it is not big, it is just the inheritance of family learning, but this is the destiny of their generation.
There is no way to avoid it, and there is no hiding from it.
......
"What does this mean? I hung Zhou Deng on a tree and left. Is this a trap waiting for us to jump in?"
In the forest a few hundred meters away from the entrance of Taiping Town, Zhang Lei, Wei Jing and others hid their figures and carefully looked at everything near Zhou Deng.
However, everything was very peaceful and there seemed to be no traps.
"Compared with Zhou Deng's situation, I am more concerned about the issue of time. It can be confirmed now that the time of this game is after the last time I logged in to the game. In other words, we are now in an absolute relationship with Taiping Town. There are too many scary guys here, and the road ahead will be difficult," Li Leping said in a deep voice.
Wei Jing asked: "According to your statement, we are indeed at a disadvantage in this confrontation. Especially Zhang Lei and I do not have enough resources to develop. The young people on the ghost street But not much. The two who just appeared are not bad, but they are our best targets now. If I guess correctly, many of the bosses in the ghost street should be gone now."
"We still need to test it. Although Zhou Deng's strength is not very good, he is very concealed. If he was caught so easily, he must know the specific situation. I'll go over and test it first and see. Situation. "
After Liu San finished speaking, a paper man walked out of the trees.
But on the surface, this paper man looks exactly like Liu San, a living person. The only difference is that its steps are very light.
It was clear that every step was solid, but not even a sound was heard.
Soon, the paper man came to Zhou Deng. Without encountering any attack, he directly reached out to catch Zhou Deng.
However, when the paper man stretched out his hand, it suddenly stopped in place.
"Is there really an ambush?"
