Returning from the abyss

Chapter 675

Before the sun set, Lu Ping took the address that Lu Ning gave him and rushed to the shop where Jiu Mian Ying happened. Before leaving, he told Qi Mei to take care of this place and make sure nothing happened.Although Qi Mei agreed wholeheartedly, but with his ability, even if something went wrong, there was not much he could do.

Lu Ning was the most relaxed person present. She turned on the computer she brought and connected the receivers corresponding to the cameras—she was able to carry out such modifications by herself, but it was a pity that those sticky cameras had mediocre pixels and could not conduct transmission. The sound, a split screen appeared on the computer soon.

"Oh! Is this... the means of modern science and technology?" Qi Mei approached with great interest, "I can't see clearly."

"Where there is something to zoom in on."

To hurt people, ghosts must allow themselves to affect the real world, or pull people into their own world.If the first method is adopted, the camera will faithfully record the occurrence of various abnormalities, which is actually an effective method in many cases.

You don't have to visit the scene in person, the only thing you need to worry about is that some ghosts can come to you along certain laws of cause and effect.

The abandoned shop was still peaceful until there was a shadow at the door, and then Lu Ping could be seen walking in.After he entered the door, he lit a piece of talisman and threw it on the ground. The yellow flame illuminated some of the surroundings and made the camera's vision better.Then Lu Ping began to explore the house with a step that was obviously different from normal walking.

"This is Gangbu! It really is a senior brother, and he is so cautious when dealing with such a brat!" Qi Mei immediately started bragging again.

"I said, you don't know this yourself, do you?" Teng Xuan had also recognized Qi Mei's nature, and now hearing that he started again, she teased.

"I'm not good at learning, so I'm ashamed of my teacher." Qi Mei admitted very bachelorly.

When the two were talking, Lu Ping had already passed the front of the store, and Lu Ning could see that he was holding a formula with his left hand. The movement was not very fast, and he was indeed very cautious.And at this moment, something moved slightly on the screen in the lower right corner, and she immediately zoomed in on the screen.

Coming from behind Lu Ping, the old-fashioned cash register on the counter bounced off at some point, and of course there was no property in it.This was followed by two small handprints on the dusty table.

This camera was read by a child in the cabinet facing the counter, so the angle is very good, Lu Ning can clearly see the handprints spreading towards Lu Ping one by one, and there are no footprints behind, but Left a line like a snake crawling.

It happened that Qi Mei turned his eyes back to the screen at this time, and when he saw those footprints, he exclaimed: "There is a ghost!"

Lu Ning glanced at him, as if she didn't know there was a ghost here before.Qi Mei also immediately realized that he was overreacting, and immediately said: "Don't panic, this kind of brat brother is sure to be easy to catch."

At least Lu Ping is not a braggart like Qi Mei.

The moment the handprint came to the edge of the counter, the flames of the talisman paper that had been thrown on the ground before suddenly shrank and turned into a faint blue color in an instant.Sensing the change in the surrounding light, Lu Ping turned around in an instant, and punched out the hand formula that had already been pinched. Of course, Lu Ning couldn't see anything from the camera, only the fire light flickered twice.

"This... Did you win?" Teng Xuan asked, poking his eyebrows.

"How do I know? I'm not at the scene... The talisman paper is still blue fire, it should not be over yet."

Lu Ping on the screen looked around very vigilantly, took another step, made several complicated changes with his fingers, and then pulled out a small stick that was about the length of his forearm from his sleeve.

"What is this?" Teng Xuan asked.

"Brother's wooden sword." Qi Mei chuckled, "This is a real magic weapon, you should look carefully."

However, there is actually nothing to see.Lu Ping didn't make any special movements while holding the stick, he still stepped back step by step towards the inside, and he threw a burning paper talisman to guard against ghost attacks at any time.

Lu Ning also zoomed in on the picture that was closer to the inside.

The inner living area can be said to be disorganized, connected to the front with only a small yard of less than ten square meters, and then to the inside is a narrow corridor, with kitchens, toilets, etc. on both sides, and at the end is the bedroom.Back then, Lao Zhang lived here alone, and all kinds of sundries were piled up from the small yard all the way to the passageway, which was convenient for those children to hide their cameras, but it was very troublesome to move around.

Lu Ping's skill was not bad, the sundries in the yard did not cause him much difficulty, and he quickly walked to the aisle.At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and pointed the wooden stick upwards. A snowflake flashed across the screen, and it took about two or three seconds for it to return to normal.During this period, Lu Ning quickly took several screenshots, capturing the changes before and after.

After the snowflakes, Lu Ping had already walked into the aisle. Lu Ning opened the pictures to watch while adjusting the camera tracking.

Before finding the differences, there was a new situation on the screen.Lu Ping stopped again, and this time he made a gesture of listening.As the light was too dark, Lu Ping's expression could not be seen clearly, no matter how much Lu Ning turned up the contrast, there was nothing he could do.Then, in less than five seconds, the screen suddenly flickered four times, and each time the flickering snowflakes looked more and more like a fuzzy facial features.

Qi Meiyan quickly took out his own mirror, took a look at the screen, and then let out a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not after us."

At this moment, flames exploded on the screen that returned to normal. It came from Lu Ping's hand. It was a crimson flame that was different from before. He picked a talisman on the tip of the wooden sword, and flexibly moved it around. With a quick thrust, some green sparks exploded at the tip of the sword every time it was retracted.Lu Ning couldn't hear the sound of the scene, but this section alone was already a mime with enough visual effects.In the firelight, Lu Ping's expression was not flustered, obviously everything was still within the scope of coping.Before the flames gradually burned out, Lu Ping grabbed a handful of white rice-shaped things from his pocket and threw them out, leaving several trails of green smoke in the splashed places in the air, and the ground began to soften visibly. .

"Here we come!" Qi Mei suddenly called out.

"What's coming?" Teng Xuan was taken aback.

"Nine-faced baby! It has been suppressed by the senior brother to attack in the form of a soul, and it is already in a hurry! It is the most dangerous time for a ghost to go crazy, but it is also the easiest to deal with! As long as it can be restrained—"

The screen tilted suddenly, it seemed that the place where the camera was placed was shaken, and the two cameras could no longer capture the scene in the room.Lu Ning hurriedly searched through the rest of the images, and finally found one that could barely be photographed—it was located on the left and right sides under the bed in the bedroom, and only a corner outside the door could be seen, barely able to capture Lu Ping's figure .

There was residual firelight in the dark corridor, and some shadowy little hands began to protrude from the softened ground, like babies.But those white rice grains were still functioning, as soon as the hand touched them, green smoke began to emit, and soon twitched and shattered into pieces.

Everything seemed to be turning towards success, but at this moment, Lu Ning suddenly made a grimace in front of the zoomed-in camera.

It was an immature baby's face, and both eyes could barely be opened. It stared at the camera, stretched out its claw-like hands, tapped the camera twice, and then grinned, revealing There are sharp teeth in the mouth like sharks.

"Shut it off! Shut it off! It found us! Hurry—"

Amid Qi Mei's shouts, Lu Ning saw cracks appear on the baby's face on the screen, and a ray of white light slowly expanded between the eyebrows, spreading like a pure flame from the body. The slowness started to dissipate.

"Huh... fortunately, senior brother is clever." Qi Mei wiped the cold sweat off his brow and grinned.

"Daoist Qi Mei, please call your senior brother." Lu Ning stared at the ghost slowly disappearing on the screen, and said to Qi Mei.Qi Mei responded, took out his mobile phone and called Lu Ping.

"Senior brother? That's right... We have already watched you deal with that ghost. You are indeed a senior brother... Uh? Still need to investigate?"

"I want to have a few words with the Taoist priest." Lu Ning said again.

"Uh, good. Brother, Miss Li Wenyue wants to talk to you, so I gave her the phone."

Qi Mei handed the phone to Lu Ning, and Lu Ning picked it up and said, "Master Lu Ping, is Jiu Mian Ying solved?"

"The most obvious part of the condensed body of Yin Qi has been burned out. Theoretically, it should have cut off the evil spirit. It's just that this ghost does not originate from one, but from the accumulation of resentment. I still need to confirm whether there are one or two wisps of resentment left. Take off." Lu Ping replied.

"Please, Taoist priest, enter the bedroom. There should be something left at the southwestern foot of the bed." Lu Ning said.

"Oh?"

On the screen, Lu Ping walked in, and soon arrived in front of the camera, squatted down and picked up an object from there, dusted off the dust, and then said to the phone: "Miss Li, there is indeed something here."

When he picked it up, Lu Ning saw something like a string of iron chains at a glance, and said immediately: "Please bring it back, Daoist Lu, this thing may have an important function for us."

"it is good."

As night fell, Lu Ning bought some boxed lunches from the restaurant downstairs and came back to solve the problem of dinner, while Lu Ping also dealt with the situation of the shop and returned to the guest house.

The thing he brought back was what Lu Ning saw falling out of the little ghost's body when it disappeared, and only now was it taken back to find that it was a longevity lock.Different from ordinary longevity locks, eight baby faces with different expressions are drawn on the locks, while the locks are white as jade but extremely hard chains.No matter touching the lock body or the chain, it will feel chilly, and Lu Ping brought it back in a bag.

There wasn't much yin energy on this thing, at least Lu Ping didn't see much yin energy radiating from the surroundings, and at the same time he was trying to figure out what it was.But Lu Ning was a little simpler. She opened her APP task list and took the longevity lock in her hand. The task of collecting items was immediately displayed as 1/3. In other words, this is one of the items that fit the description. .

"So after the nine-faced baby was shattered, it fell out of the body... there are only eight faces on it?" Teng Xuan looked at this thing curiously, "But after all, it's a ghost thing, maybe it's dangerous?"

"Generally speaking, whatever falls on ghosts and monsters, they are all contaminated with ghostly aura, including some things mined from tombs, which also need to go through certain procedures to remove evil spirits before they can be touched by people. There is no yin energy on this thing, It's really rare... I really don't know much about it." Lu Ping said with a frown.

Lu Ning picked up the two ends of the chain with her hands, and a cold feeling came into her hands, but she didn't feel any discomfort. The APP can only prompt whether this is what is needed for the mission, but regardless of the work of identification, she has no idea how to use this thing.

But just as she was about to put down the chain, she heard a "click" in her hand.She quickly threw off the chain and turned her hands over, only to see that except for the thumbs of both hands, the other eight fingers were vaguely covered with a white ring, the shape and color of which were exactly the same as the chains of the Longevity Lock.

"how……"

"Let me take a look!" Lu Ping grabbed Lu Ning's wrist, pinched a point with her fingers on a white ring, and asked Lu Ning, "Is there any discomfort?"

"No, it just feels... very cool?" Lu Ning felt it carefully.

"Well, the pattern on it is gone!" Qi Mei grabbed the longevity lock and shouted, "It's not so cold anymore! Brother, be careful this is possession!"

"No, Miss Li's soul is not abnormal." Lu Ping was still relatively stable, "There is no response, even if it is oppressed with talismans, there is no response. This does not belong to its own spiritual things."

"Without that, how could it be automatically locked on Wen Yue?" Teng Xuan said loudly.

"Although the utensils may not have spirits, they can recognize the owner." Lu Ping let go of Lu Ning's wrist, "It's just that since this thing has no intelligence, why does it ignore the poor Taoist who subdued the nine-faced baby, and instead locks it up?" On Miss Li? It’s really confusing... Oh, please don’t get me wrong, Pindao has no intention of fighting, just puzzled.”

"I know." Lu Ning clenched her fist, the white ring seemed to not exist, it didn't affect her finger movement at all, but there was a vague outline.She knew in her heart that this probably belonged to a kind of chance, but she also wondered why she could get such a chance?Just by being a tourist?It was a little too easy.

"I don't know what the purpose of this thing is, Miss Li, don't ignore the coming danger because of it." Lu Ping said.

Lu Ning nodded and got up: "Then it's a bit late today, Daoist Lu can contact his friends as he said before. The two of us are in the opposite room. If anything happens, we will come to ask for help."

"Okay, the girl has a lot of yin energy, so tonight I will repair a talisman to drive away evil spirits."
