The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 13 The Dummy in the Building
Li Leping couldn't determine the exact location, so he could only wander around in the shopping center.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

From the street, there was a faint smell.

The smell is very light, faintly present, but it can make people's nose sore and subconsciously feel nauseated.

"Is this... corpse smell?"

Li Leping's eyes moved slightly, and he looked into the shopping mall building closest to him.

In the morning, the building, which was closed and no one was there, looked particularly gloomy.

The weather was cloudy again, the light could only stop outside the door, and the depths were dark, very depressing.

Inexplicably, when he stood at the door and cast his eyes into the depths of the darkness, he felt as if he had touched something, which caused something to start peeping at him in the dark.

Without hesitation, he walked straight into the building.

The stench permeates the room, and as soon as you walk in, this weird stench hits you right away.

The inside of the building was even more gloomy than he had imagined. The outside light could only pass through the glass windows, barely illuminating part of the area, and he couldn't see more shadows.

Li Leping frowned. He had already held the camera with both hands. Once any unexpected situation occurred, he would immediately press the shutter to take a picture.

Previously, he had tested a few punks in the community.

Ordinary people should have no problem taking pictures of ordinary people with cameras.

No, maybe it cannot be said that there is no problem, but because the subject of the shooting is wrong, the supernatural power of the camera has not been shown.

Maybe when you are shooting ghosts, you will know the capabilities of the camera.

I looked around in a circle.

This building is used as a shopping mall, with a total of six floors, and there are shops selling various commodities along the way, but there are no shop assistants and no customers.

"Ta, Tata~!"

Suddenly, a clear sound of footsteps sounded in the silent building.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the building, making it impossible for Li Leping to tell which floor the source of the sound was located on.

His whole body tensed instantly, and he held his breath.

At this time, it is almost impossible for people to be active in the building...

"Is it a ghost?" Li Leping turned his gaze to a higher place.

Immediately, he ran to the escalator that had stopped working not far away, and rushed to the second floor.

He planned to take the initiative before the ghost had its eyes on him.

The second floor is similar to the first floor, without the illumination of indoor lights, many places are sunk in darkness.

Who knows if something will pop out of nowhere around a dark corner?
The stench of corpses seems to have become more intense, permeating the air and lingering.

Li Leping took out his phone and turned on the flashlight function.

Taking advantage of the fact that the light was not dazzling and could not fully illuminate the aisle, he took a rough look at the layout of the second floor.

Most of the shops on the second floor are clothing stores, and there are even window models in black clothes standing motionless in front of the shops.

Looking at these dummy models, Li Leping's eyes froze suddenly.

These dummy models that highly imitate the human body are of different heights, male and female, and they are placed in a straight standing posture, wearing different styles of clothes, but the color is all uniform black.

Carefully approach one of the mannequins.

The stench of corpses became more and more obvious.

The naked skin of the dummy model was sallow, and the skin not covered by clothes actually showed signs of dehydration and dryness, covered with corpse spots.

"and many more."

Li Leping was shocked.

Withered, corpse spot?
How can plastic dry up and grow plaque?
Suddenly, a gust of cold air rushed straight to the top of his head, making him shiver.

Raising his head slightly, he and the dummy model in front of him met their eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes, completely different from the artificial eyes made by ordinary dummies.

These are the eyeballs that only living people have.

It was dead silent and gray, unable to see the expressions of any living people, only knowing to stare straight ahead coldly.

These are not models, but real people.

To be precise, a group of dead people.

The dozen or so mannequins in sight are actually a group of dead people, but now that it’s winter, normal people would put on a thick coat, so that Li Leping couldn’t see the appearance of these dead people clearly from a distance just now. In addition, they were all standing in front of the clothing store, and they made a misjudgment for a while, mistakenly thinking that these people were dummy models.

Li Leping took a few steps back subconsciously, and his face became a little ugly.

The more people died, the higher the danger level of that ghost.

Although the hazard level does not represent the horror level of ghosts, the hazard level is enough to show how likely a person is to be targeted by a ghost.

There are already more than a dozen dead people in my line of sight, and the stench of corpses is coming from them.

But, where he can't see or hear, how many "dummy models" like this are there in black clothes?
At this moment, a wave of extreme fear spread from the bottom of Li Leping's heart.

He quickly looked around, afraid that there might be some strange things popping up in those dark corners.

"Do you want to withdraw?" Li Leping backed away while thinking.

The situation here is far more complicated than he imagined.

There are too many dead people here, and it will be very difficult to find a ghost from among these people, from the huge six-story shopping mall.

The most important thing is that he can't guarantee whether he will unintentionally trigger the killing pattern of that ghost during this long operation.

"But at least for now, I haven't..."

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Li Leping felt an inexplicable chill.

It was as if something was staring at him.

He turned his head suddenly, and the next moment, his eyes shrank, and the hairs all over his body were about to explode.

The dead man in black who he observed just now turned his stiff neck at some point, and a pair of dark, dead eyes turned strangely, staring at Li Leping absently.

Not only that, at this moment, in the entire second floor, all the dead people in Li Leping's sight were looking at him.

"Are you kidding?!" Li Leping opened his eyes wide.

He was being watched.

"withdraw."

Without any hesitation, Li Leping quickly turned around and ran towards the escalator as if in a frenzy.

He just left from the side of the escalator, and ran back only a dozen meters away.

However, just as he ran to the side of the escalator and was about to rush down in one go, he suddenly stopped and abruptly stopped.

"Tap, tap..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. The movement was loud and echoed throughout the shopping mall. It sounded like there were a lot of people.

At the entrance of the escalator from the first floor to the second floor, at some point, a group of people stood there.

There were dozens of people at least, all of them were dressed in black, which set off the deathly pale and numb face.

Like puppets on a string, they raised their heads almost at the same moment, and looked at Li Leping on the second floor with a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

At this moment, Li Leping only felt that his scalp was going to explode.

He knew that these people were not ghosts, but ghost slaves of the ghost hiding in the dark.

However, he never expected that there were so many ghost slaves in this building.

His escape was blocked and he was surrounded.
