Chapter 23: The Past
Li Chen sighed, and there was no response after working for a long time, could it be that Lin Lao had already slept?
But that's not right!
Before coming, Cao Hong said very clearly, Lin Lao is a night watchman, although this time period is a little late, he won't fall asleep, right?
Li Chenchen sighed, walked towards the cemetery by himself, and couldn't help but shiver after walking for a while.
The cemetery is indeed a cemetery, and the temperature in this place is much lower than that outside, and the wind is gusting.
If it weren't for Cao Hong's strong request to come over, Li Chen probably wouldn't have come to such a place in the early hours of his life in his life.
Li Chen was a little panicked in his heart, his heart was beating so badly, no matter how bold he was, he couldn't withstand this torture, he hurriedly quickened his pace, hoping to enter the mausoleum through Lin Lao as soon as possible.
I thought to myself, Uncle Lin, please come out quickly!
This is not a place for ordinary people.
As he walked, suddenly Li Chen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see a person walking between the cemeteries.
"Uncle Lin!?"
Li Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over, but as soon as he walked over, he couldn't help but gasp.
There is no one in the four places, how can there be any Lin Lao!
Li Chen was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly returned the same way, and he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
It's not a big deal if a ghost thing comes out directly, this kind of atmosphere that can't come out is simply too torturous.
At this time, Li Chen suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and the sound was very close.
He hurriedly turned around, and what he saw was a corpse wearing filial piety clothes, with a cloak and a disheveled head, covered in dirt, and with deep eye sockets!
"Ahh Hell! ”
Li Chen couldn't help but scream, turned around and fled.
But after running two steps, the corpse disappeared again, as if it had never disappeared.
Li Chen took a deep breath, what is this called?
Just because Lao Tzu is handsome, he pesters himself all day long?
He patted the dirt on his body, but decided to continue to walk around, after all, Cao Hong had already set a task, and it was not appropriate not to complete it.
As soon as he stood still, he jumped up the next moment!
"It's a ghost again!"
With an exclamation, Li Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, and finally took a closer look before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are young people so rude nowadays?"
"I told you a long time ago, young people should watch the road, otherwise it is easy to provoke evil spirits!"
Lin Lao stared at Li Chen with a pair of eyes, and there was a majesty in his voice.
"Lin Lao, I really didn't mean to bump into you, it's just... It's just..."
Li Chen stammered and explained.
"Just what?"
Lin Lao frowned and asked.
Li Chen gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to raise his head, and shouted loudly: "It's just that there are too many ghosts here, and it's scary!" ”
Li Chen's voice was not loud, but it made Lin Lao silent for a moment.
"Nonsense!"
Lin Lao scolded angrily, and then said: "These are all my comrades-in-arms, where is there any dirty thing?" ”
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll let that kid Cao Hong expel you, even if there is anything here, the heavenly spirits of my comrades-in-arms will deal with them all!"
Lin Lao's eyes widened angrily, Li Chen was taken aback, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "Lin Lao, I really didn't talk nonsense, I just saw a corpse dangling in the cemetery, I'm really innocent!" ”
"Humph! How could there be such a thing in my cemetery, if there were any ghosts, I would have discovered it a long time ago. ”
"I keep vigil in the cemetery every day, I know it very well!"
Lin Lao snorted coldly, and then said, "Okay, since you are here, follow me to my residence and put incense on these brothers." ”
After Lin Lao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Chen to agree, and went to his residence on his own, Li Chen didn't dare to talk back, this Lin Lao is Cao Hong's senior, and he is even more of a predecessor to himself, how dare he be disobedient?
He could only obediently follow behind Lin Lao, wondering what kind of errand Cao Hong had found for himself?
"Your name is Li Chen?"
"Yes."
Li Chen responded, and he also knew that it was better to be well-behaved at this time.
"How did you know I was here?"
Lin Lao suddenly turned around and asked with a solemn face.
"Uh, I... I'm listening... Listen to Cao Hong... Oh... The Boss said. ”
"Let me come and bring you a flask."
Li Chen hurriedly sent the wine jug in his hand, and for some reason, Li Chen could feel a pressure.
"Cao Hong, this kid still has a heart, until he brought me the wine jug."
"It's been a few years old."
Lin Lao looked at the wine jug in his hand, and for a moment seemed to remember something from a long time ago.
"I went on a mission with my brothers in my squad. The mission report talks about a B-class ghost, but in the Spirit Control Bureau, the old man, my B-class combat team can be said to be top-notch. ”
"We accepted this mission as a matter of course, just when we thought we could successfully complete the task, an accident happened, the mission report described B-class ghosts, but when we arrived at the scene, we saw two A-class ghosts!"
Lin Lao's thin eyes flashed a little murderous at this moment, Li Chen calmed down, he knew that these things were Lin Lao's past pain.
"Our squad fought bloodily, but in the end, our squad is only a B-level combat team after all, if it was just an A-level ghost, we might not have suffered so many casualties, but in front of us are two A-class ghosts!"
"The team members desperately rescued me, they all died, some of my brothers just turned eighteen, some are still waiting to get married after this mission, and some are fathers-to-be, but they stayed in that mission forever."
"Only my old life is left to survive..."
As Lin Lao spoke, two lines of tears flowed down from his cloudy eyes, and he looked up to the sky and screamed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper.
"I'm a warrior!"
Lin Lao wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "He is an iron-blooded warrior, but now he is just an old bone, and I can't do anything." There is no way to avenge the brothers, staying in this cemetery is said to be a vigil, but it is actually repentance! ”
"My strength is very weak, and I can't even protect those brothers of mine!"
Lin Lao sighed as he spoke, and then shook his head: "That's it, it's all old things, don't mention it." ”
Li Chen sighed, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing back then, no wonder Lin Lao would suffer from post-war traumatic stress disorder because of this, and it was too uncomfortable to see those people in front of him but unable to do anything.
Just like when he was in Paris at night, Li Chen also had that feeling, terrible.
"The deceased is gone, the living are still going, it's no big deal, it's a big deal, the big deal is that the kid will help you avenge you in the future!"
Li Chen smiled, but this simple sentence set off a wave in Lin Lao's heart!
