The two surviving residents of Taiping Ancient Town unanimously planned to rescue He Liansheng's granddaughter, He Yin'er, from the ghost lake.

But the dilemma before them now is how to rescue them.

You must know that the Ghost Lake incident is not an ordinary supernatural event, even if the two of them join forces, they still have no confidence to face the Ghost Lake.

Therefore, the plan to save He Yin'er seemed to be in trouble in an instant.

However, soon Boss Liu thought of the key information to break the game.

I saw him say to the faceless man: "I remember that Old Man He seemed to have left a back hand when he buried his granddaughter, so that in the future, his granddaughter could be resurrected if she failed to control the ghost lake. ”

"As for what the back hand is, I don't know very well, but since there is a back hand left, then there must be traces to follow, let's go to the He family ancestral hall to see, maybe there will be a harvest."

Hear that.

The Faceless Man certainly won't have an opinion.

Immediately, the two of them walked towards the location of the He family's ancestral hall.

However, the faceless man walking in front didn't notice that Boss Liu, who was walking behind him, suddenly stiffened there at this time, and an extremely strange expression appeared on his face.

But this situation only lasted for a moment, and Boss Liu's whole person returned to normal.

All this happened so fast, so fast that not only did the faceless man walking in front not pay attention, but even Boss Liu himself didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with him.

In this way, the two soon came to the He family ancestral hall located in the depths of Taiping Ancient Town.

The door of the ancestral hall was ajar, and the two people who approached did not hesitate at all, and directly pushed open the door in front of them and walked in.

The environment inside the house is dark and cold.

The furnishings are also very simple.

Apart from some daily household items, there is only a huge offering table.

There are many spiritual seats enshrined on it, neatly arranged in rows, and there is an incense burner in the front, which is burning three incense sticks that have been lit, and the incense emitted is swirling, giving people a hazy fog and a strong offering fragrance.

This incense was lit by He Liansheng before he set off from the ghost lake, but now the incense has not been extinguished and is still burning, but the person who lit the incense never came back and died in the ghost lake.

"By the way, has Old Man He's Spiritualist Inheritance Medium stayed?"

At this time, the faceless man suddenly used his fingers to write in the air and communicated.

"Old man He's eye, if that thing is still there, then the conjuring man may have a day to reappear, and the Taiping Ancient Town is not completely extinct, we can still rebuild the ancient town!"

However, Boss Liu's next words interrupted his thoughts.

I only heard Boss Liu say: "No, the descendant who killed Old Man He seems to know us very well, and the medium items that became the conjuring people were taken away by him and did not stay, as if he didn't want a new conjuring person to appear." ”

It's the truth.

At that time, Li Hui did take away He Liansheng's eyes after killing him, and took all the spirits with him, leaving only He Liansheng's body there.

"We'll talk about the conjuring later, our top priority should be to rescue Old Man He's granddaughter first, since Old Man He has left a back hand, then it must be hidden in this ancestral hall." Boss Liu continued.

Hearing this, the faceless man just nodded, not saying anything.

Then the two began to search.

At this time, the smoke from the burning of the three incense sticks on the offering table gathered together, and then drifted across the offering table towards the bodies of the two people.

As the smoke drifted over the offering table, a strange scene occurred.

I saw that in the place where the smoke of the incense offering floated through, several people appeared, and those people stood there in rows like spiritual seats, among them men and women, and they were all very old, not from this era.

However, only the places where the smoke drifted were visible, and the rest of the places where there was no smoke were still normal.

And after the smoke drifted away, everything returned to its original state, and the spiritual positions in the ancestral hall were still those spiritual positions, and nothing had changed.

In the end, the smoke that did not dissipate drifted to the faceless man and Boss Liu's side.

Among them, the faceless man was okay and did not show any abnormality, but Boss Liu on the other side revealed an extremely strange scene after the smoke came.

I saw a strange figure emerge behind him.

It was a woman with a disheveled hair and covered in water, her exposed eyes hollow and white, without a trace of the look of a living person.

What's even more weird is that her stiff face squeezed out a very weird smile at the moment, which is extremely terrifying, as if a ghost is smiling at you.

The faceless figure who saw this strange scene was shocked, and then immediately burst back, widening the distance between him and Boss Liu.

"What's wrong, Sunset?"

At this time, Boss Liu was still a little confused, and he didn't seem to understand the operation of the faceless man, and said with some doubts: "Good and dignified, how can it be the same as a hellish performance?" ”

Looked at.

The faceless man didn't respond, just stood on the other side of the ancestral hall like that, his faceless face was facing Boss Liu, as if he was thinking about something, and finally raised his finger and wrote in the air.

"You lead the ghost lake ......"

However, only halfway through writing, the Faceless Man seemed to suddenly realize something, stopped what he was doing, and then without the slightest hesitation, turned around and prepared to leave here.

At this moment, the faceless man was hidden in the darkness, and under the influence of his own supernatural influence, it seemed that a path appeared in front of him that did not exist in reality.

However, just as the faceless man was about to step onto the path to leave, he suddenly heard a sound of water, which came from far and near, like a gentle wave on the surface of a calm lake, and the listener was very comfortable and pleasant.

At first, the sound of the water was not obvious, it seemed to be far away from him, but in the blink of an eye, the sound of the water waves became completely louder, and even a little noise was formed.

At the same time, a cold aura began to permeate the entire ancestral hall.

Under the influence of this aura, the supernatural path opened up by the faceless man using the supernatural was affected and distorted in an instant, making it impossible for him to leave smoothly through the path.

Obviously.

There are supernatural beings who don't want the faceless man to leave, and want to keep him here.

When the faceless man got rid of the supernatural influence of the sound of the water and reacted, he found that he was no longer in the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town, but came to a lake.

The water of the lake is dark and cold, there are no waves on the surface of the lake, the calm is almost terrifying, and it faintly reveals an inexplicable evil nature.

The lake is surrounded by towering mountain ranges that envelop the lake like a natural dam and prevent the water from flowing outside.

At this moment, the faceless man was standing in the middle of this lake, and the strange thing was that he did not sink, but stood firmly on the surface of the lake.

"This is the real ghost lake, it's troublesome now, Boss Liu really has a problem, it is very likely that he was 'controlled' by the ghost lake, and now I am powerless to fight against the ghost lake, it seems that the sky is going to completely destroy my Taiping Ancient Town!"

Faceless people are sad in their hearts.

Old man He died, the woman also died, Boss Liu was controlled by the ghost lake, and now he is the only one left in the entire Taiping Ancient Town.

However, now that even he has fallen into the ghost lake, it is estimated that death is only a matter of time, so that Taiping Ancient Town will really become history.

This is not allowed by faceless people!

At that moment, he was ready to use the supernatural to leave, but failed, the horror level of the ghost lake was unexpectedly high, and other supernatural beings here would be affected, and he could not leave through the supernatural path at all.

What made him even more desperate was that.

At this moment, the ghost lake has begun to move.

The surface of the lake was no longer calm, and began to ripple and spray in layers, as if something below was 'swimming' out above.

The next moment.

One by one, the eyes were hollow and white, the expressions on their faces were stiff and weird, and their heads were scattered, and the female ghosts with particularly terrible appearances began to surface.

There were so many of them that they almost took up the entire surface of the lake, and at a glance they were densely packed, and then all of these female ghosts quickly surrounded the Faceless Man's location.

Meanwhile.

The other side.

Li Hui, who returned to the headquarters of the Ghost Rider in Dajing City, did not go to see Cao Yanhua, nor did he rush to get his own business trip expenses this time, but went straight to the small courtyard where Qin Lao was.

There are two Taishi chairs in the courtyard.

At this time, an old man and a young man were lying on these two Taishi chairs.

"The notice of the law enforcement captain has been issued, this is the sincerity of the headquarters, and in the future, the entire headquarters will revolve around you, from other captains to ordinary staff, including the deputy minister, all personnel will be transferred by you."

Qin Lao sat on the black Taishi chair and said slowly, the old man's voice revealed a trace of imperceptible exhaustion, and there was a kind of meaning in his words that he was explaining what was going on.

"You're leaving?"

Suddenly.

Li Hui on the other side asked such a sentence for no reason.

He came to this courtyard this time, naturally not to talk to Qin Lao, but to say goodbye to Qin Lao and send this old man on his last journey.

This was the result of what he had foreseen.

Boss Qin's deadline is approaching.

Although he didn't overuse his supernatural abilities in order to resist the out-of-control ghost paintings like in the original book, he was almost at the end of his life, and he didn't have much time to live.

In the original book, Qin Lao sealed himself in a golden bronze statue before the deadline arrived, but at this time, Li Hui's appearance obviously made him have no such thoughts.

Because there is no need.

Li Hui is already capable of handling the corresponding things, if even Li Hui at this stage can't handle it, then even if Qin Lao chooses to seal himself up and hold on to his last breath, it won't change anything.

Case.

Then it's better to leave.

"Yes, I'll take care of my own affairs, just in time I still have some time, I can go and see my old friends."

Elder Qin did not deny it, and said:

"I've talked to my future self many times, and each time I learned that the results were different, but one thing was exactly the same, that is, you would have a big problem, but I didn't know what it was, which proves that I won't live to that day, whether I seal it or not."

At this farewell moment, Qin Lao once again took the initiative to mention Li Hui's future.

"I already have a bit of a clue about this myself, although I can't be 100% sure, but this is the biggest possibility." Li Hui said with a frown, glancing at the back of his hand without leaving a trace from the corner of his eye.

There, there was a cellphone-like tattoo on the back of his hand.

If there is anything else that Li Hui's current strength can't handle in the future, then there are only those two possibilities.

One is that the mobile phone tattoo is out of control, which causes him to be powerless to resist, and finally dies under the supernatural power of the mobile phone tattoo.

There is also a kind of Zhang Dong out of control.

Because Zhang Dong's ability is to erase all supernatural powers, even the ability to predict the future will be affected, and he will not be able to know the news related to it, plus Zhang Dong's strength is enough, it can definitely be regarded as a big trouble for him.

In addition, Li Hui really can't think of a third possibility.

After all, even at this stage, he is already at the peak of this world, not to mention him in the future, as long as there is no problem with the mobile phone tattoo, he will definitely get stronger and stronger.

In this case, what paranormal event qualifies as a big trouble, or even let him die in it?

"It's good to take precautions, no one can say what will happen in the future, just like you, before you appeared, the future I knew was not what it is now."

A smile appeared on Qin Lao's old face, and all of Li Hui's expressions and movements were in his eyes, especially the picture where the other party had just aimed at the mobile phone tattoo on the back of his hand.

Hear the words.

Li Hui became interested and asked, "Then you can tell me what the future looks like before I appear?" ”

Qin Lao said: "That is another kind of future, a very special person will appear in the future, to be precise, he can no longer be said to be human, but a real god!" ”

"He rose from the end of the world, turned into a god in the form of a mortal, suppressed the entire supernatural era, and finally put an end to all this!"

Surprisingly.

Qin Lao didn't hide anything, and told what he knew about another future.

And this also made Li Hui very shocked by what Qin Lao knew.

You must know that Qin Lao's prediction of the future is to talk to his future self, but in the original book, when Yang Jian turned into Yang Jian to end the supernatural era, Qin Lao was already in Karma, in this case, how did he know the future?

"Could it be that Old Qin is hiding behind the scenes and living hard until sixty or seventy years later?" Li Hui was frightened by his own speculation.

But when I think about it, I don't think it's possible.

Then Li Hui said: "Since this is the case, then why don't you continue to choose to wait for that person to succeed, but choose me?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed on Old Qin's face, which was covered with old age spots, and then he opened his mouth and asked, "How do you know that I must choose you, not him?" ”

Then, without waiting for Li Hui to respond, Qin Lao continued to speak: "Okay, things in the future are too illusory, even if you and I know may not be correct, it is just a possibility in the future, after all, the future is not immutable, but there are thousands of possibilities. ”

"It's pointless to talk about the future, it's like looking at the moon in the water, looking at the flowers in the mirror, the most important thing is the present, at least from the current point of view, your hope of success is greater."

Speaking of which.

Qin Lao's tone paused for two seconds.

Then continued: "Okay, I have already said what should be said and what should not be said, as for what happens in the future, it depends on your choice, but I believe that you will make the right choice, this era has you, it is the luck of this era!" ”

"When people are old, they are easy to nag, and the time is almost up, and I should go."

said.

Old Qin slowly stood up.

He felt that what he said today was more than what he had said in the past few years combined, which also made him sigh to Li Hui.

After all, he didn't speak before, because he had nothing to say, and there were no people at the same level as him, and talking to others was like playing the piano to a cow, which didn't make any sense, and he could still say a few words to Wang Xiaoming, who had superior intelligence.

And the current Li Hui is undoubtedly a person at the same level as him, the two are standing at the same height, and even Li Hui is surpassing, so Qin Lao naturally becomes a little more talkative.

"Drip~Drip~!"

When Qin Lao stood up completely with his cane, several bus horns suddenly sounded in the quiet courtyard.

Then, under Li Hui's gaze, two dim lights lit up from behind Qin Lao.

Then an old and strange bus actually passed through the wall, ignored the obstacles, and finally stopped in front of Qin Lao and Li Hui.

It's that supernatural bus!

At this time, Qin Lao made a final explanation to Li Hui: "You don't have to tell anyone about my departure, so it's a good thing for some people in the outside world to think that I'm still at the headquarters or not." ”

After saying this, Qin Lao didn't care about Li Hui anymore, but turned his head and looked at the old bus in front of him with a look of nostalgia.

Then Qin Lao sighed with emotion: "Old man, this may be the last time I will drive you in my life, so let you give me this last ride." ”

Then the pestle and the cane walked up to the supernatural bus without slowness, and then walked to the driver's seat and pushed away the cold corpse of the driver, and sat on it alone.

Then the supernatural bus started, but it did not follow the established driving route, but was controlled by Qin Lao at will, going to any place he wanted to go.

Soon.

The supernatural bus drifted away and finally disappeared into the headquarters.

And Li Hui just watched quietly, and didn't make any moves, watching Qin Lao drive away in a supernatural bus, he seemed to see the end of an era.

"At present, the top group of ghost riders in the Republic of China period, except for Qin Lao at this stage, it is estimated that only Zhang Dong is still alive, and counting the time, Zhang Dong seems to be ...... fast."

Li Hui muttered in his heart.

Then he packed up his mood and came to the office of Vice Minister Cao Yanhua.

At this moment, there are already two people waiting for him in the office, in addition to Vice Minister Cao Yanhua, there is also the previous intellectual responsibility of the headquarters, Wang Xiaoming.

It's just that Wang Xiaoming's physical condition at this time is very poor, he looks tired and terminally ill, and he doesn't seem to have a long time to live.

"Old Qin is gone?"

Li Hui had just entered the office, and before he could speak, Wang Xiaoming, who was sitting on the side of him, took the lead in speaking.

His tone was calm, as if he had expected Qin Lao's departure, and he seemed to be very sure that Li Hui had just said goodbye to Qin Lao.

"Hmm." Hearing this, Li Hui nodded, not surprised at all that Wang Xiaoming could guess that Qin Lao was leaving.

If you want to talk about who is most familiar with Qin Lao in the entire headquarters, it must be Wang Xiaoming in front of him, so Wang Xiaoming can know that Qin Lao's departure is also an inevitable result.

"It's okay to leave."

Wang Xiaoming nodded expressionlessly, and then said: "Qin Lao's departure is indeed a good thing for the development of the headquarters, so that some people can prevent some people from having other ideas, so as not to cooperate with the actions of the law enforcement captain." ”

Speaking of which.

Wang Xiaoming glanced at Cao Yanhua.

Cao Yanhua, who noticed this scene, immediately retorted: "Wang Xiaoming, what do you mean by this, are you talking about me?" ”

"I'm just talking about things."

Wang Xiaoming was still expressionless: "Qin Lao's existence is like a needle in the headquarters, and now that he leaves, the headquarters can better carry out reforms, devote himself to new work, and wholeheartedly revolve around the law enforcement captain." ”

As soon as these words came out.

Cao Yanhua was also silent.

Apparently he also realized something.

In the past, when Qin Lao was there, they really regarded Qin Lao as their confidence, and they always thought that if they couldn't do it, they would ask Qin Lao to go, and now that Qin Lao is leaving, the headquarters can indeed better cooperate with the law enforcement captain.

But then Cao Yanhua thought of it again, and looked at Wang Xiaoming with a worried expression: "Your body, really don't consider becoming a ghost master?" ”

Recently.

Wang Xiaoming was found to have cancer.

And it's still late!

This shows that Wang Xiaoming's time is running out.

As the deputy minister of the headquarters, Cao Yanhua naturally hoped that Wang Xiaoming would not die, so he persuaded Wang Xiaoming many times to heal himself through supernatural means, but in the end he was rejected.

This time is no exception.

I only heard Wang Xiaoming say: "No need, people are inherently dead, sometimes living is more tired, but death is a relief." ”

"In the current situation, it doesn't make much difference whether I exist in the headquarters or not, and I really don't want to be affected by the supernatural, which will make my thinking no longer pure."

All men are mortal.

And there are definitely not many people who can look at their own death calmly, especially on the premise that they can live, and there are even fewer people who still choose to die.

But Wang Xiaoming is one of them.

He was so tired.

Standing at his current height.

I want to really retire.

Then there is only one way to die.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming would rather die of liberation than to become a ghost rider struggling to survive, which may be a good thing for him personally, for the entire headquarters, and for everyone.

"Okay, I know my own body, and now that the law enforcement captain is born, and there is still a lot of handover to deal with, I can also take advantage of this limited time to complete my current project research."

Speaking of which.

Wang Xiaoming glanced at Cao Yanhua.

The latter immediately spoke: "Li Hui, at present, your appointment to become the head of the law enforcement team has been issued to all the heads of the headquarters, but there is still one thing to be determined, that is, will you be in the headquarters in the future, or will you continue to return to Dahang City?" ”

"At present, there are four captains at the headquarters, Jiang Shangbai, Wei Jing, Lu Zhiwen, and Li Jun, and there is little point for me to stay, so I should go back to Dahang City." Li Hui opened his mouth and said.

Hearing this, Cao Yanhua nodded and said, "It's okay to go back to Dahang City, it's a big city, plus some small cities around, and it really needs a powerful ghost tamer to guard it." ”

"I have arranged for someone to send the information about the law enforcement captain to your mobile phone, if you have time, you can take a look at it, as for the overtime pay of your business trip to Ghost Lake......"

Saying that, Cao Yanhua took out two document plan bags and handed them to Li Hui, and then continued to speak: "Because you have become the captain of law enforcement, I did not prepare the travel expenses for you in advance like other captains. ”

"These two file bags are the archival records of all the supernatural items in the current headquarters, and all the supernatural items in them can be at your disposal, so you can take whatever you like."

"In addition, there is information about all the ghosts who have been imprisoned since the establishment of the headquarters......"

At this time, Cao Yanhua took out a large pile of thick archives from under the table, and said to Li Hui: "This is all the information of those powerful ghosts, the same point, you have a fancy or think that you can use the powerful ghosts, you can call and use them." ”

This wave of decentralization can be described as very thorough.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Judging from the current form, the headquarters really intends to work with Li Hui as the center, and he has the highest authority for everything in the headquarters.

This is the treatment that Yang Jian in the original plot has never enjoyed.

This also made Li Hui sigh.

The Ghost Rider's headquarters is really good at watching people put down dishes.

But Li Hui is happy to see this.

After all, they have become law enforcement captains, if they are still stuck by the headquarters, how can they be worthy of the meaning of the four words law enforcement captain?

Immediately, Li Hui said: "Okay, I'll look at the corresponding information later, so let's do it first, wait until I get familiar with the things in these files first, and then determine what to call." ”

The voice fell.

Li Hui's palm waved.

The gray ghost realm light flashed.

The thick stack of archives on Cao Yanhua's desk all disappeared, and then Li Hui himself walked out of the office.

Joke.

Looking at the boring things like archival materials, Li Hui naturally wouldn't do it himself.

He planned to take the information with him first, and then give it to his men to sort it into, and finally he would pick and choose what he wanted, which was obviously the most correct way to open it.

Come to think of this.

Li Hui couldn't help but praise his cleverness.

Soon after Li Hui left the office, Vice Minister Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming also began to talk again.

Meanwhile.

Qin Lao drove a supernatural bus and also entered a supernatural place.

The roads are not lined with modern city buildings, but in a dim, eerie place, apparently an incomprehensible supernatural place that the living cannot set foot in at all, and can only be shuttled through it with the help of supernatural buses.

At this time, Qin Lao drove the bus through such a strange place, he did not stop all the way, although the speed of the vehicle was not fast, but it could cross the two places in an incredible way.

It was as if the distance had been completely rewritten by the supernatural at this moment.

Soon the supernatural bus passed through this strange area and came to another terrifying supernatural place.

It's a highway.

There is an old-fashioned platform on the side of the road, and behind the platform is a winding forest path with dirt overgrown weeds.

At the end of the road, there was an old house, and in front of it hung two red lanterns, emitting a red glow.

Obviously, that ancient mansion of the Republic of China is where Qin Lao wants to go.

Instead of stopping at the stop on the side of the road, he drove the bus towards the old house.

The dim lights converged, illuminating a path in the ghost realm, passing directly through the forest path, and nothing along the way could stop the supernatural bus from moving forward.

As the car drove in, the appearance of the old house became clearer.

The house is a wooden structure, I don't know how long it has been built, it has collapsed in several places, and the surrounding area is covered with wild grass, as if it has been abandoned there, and even the paint on the gate has been discolored, and it looks a little gray, and it does not look like a sign of human life.

The next moment.

Qin Lao directly drove the supernatural bus through the outer wall of the ancient mansion and drove into the ancient mansion of the Republic of China, and finally the vehicle stopped steadily in the courtyard of the house.

Then turn off the engine and get out of the car.

Coherent.

And at this time, the owner of this old mansion also looked at it.

It was an old man wearing a black tunic and black cloth shoes, and the old man was sitting in the lobby of the ancient mansion at the moment.

His appearance is also extremely old, the skin on his body is loose, just like Qin Lao, his face is full of wrinkles and old age spots, but the whole person reveals a sense of majesty that makes people feel palpitations and suffocation.

He just sat there, like an insurmountable mountain, as if no amount of strange supernatural power could stir up any wind and waves in front of him.

Apparently.

This old man is Zhang Dong, the owner of this ancient house of the Republic of China!

After seeing Qin Lao walking towards him after getting out of the car, Zhang Dong took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Qin, you are here." ”

His tone was calm, but it revealed an inexplicable majesty, which was not deliberate, but this majesty had been carved into his bones, forming an instinctive temperament.

"Yes, I'm here to be your companion, and by the way, I want to dig a pit in you, so that I can bury myself here so that I won't be in trouble." Qin Lao said jokingly.

Hearing this, Zhang Dong was speechless for a while, realizing that the old man in front of him would also come to the end of his life.

Think back then.

The reason why Qin Lao was able to be born, and there are still these people behind them, is that they quietly laid down their backhands in secret, in order to let Qin Lao take over after the others disappear, so as not to let the top ghost riders break down.

It's just that I didn't expect that this 'junior' was about to run out of oil and run out of lights, and he had to start preparing to deal with his own affairs.

(End of chapter)
