The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 54 The Third Ghost
The sudden strange change in his body made Li Leping's face darken. He resolutely withdrew his hand and gave up the idea of ​​using the power of the Forgotten Ghost to restrain this ghost.

Unbelievably, as he lifted the restriction on ghosts, the strange changes in his body decreased rapidly.

The arm that was originally swollen and even began to ooze water droplets began to return to normal. Although it was still a little pale, it was at least much better than the white and swollen one just now.

Even the weird feeling in his body that was filled with mud disappeared.

The blood began to flow again, but his body was still so cold.

"Get out first."

Li Leping frowned, and chose to withdraw from the smoke envelope as quickly as possible.

Out of the smoke, Lu Sheng immediately saw Li Leping who looked a little embarrassed.

"You too just now?" Lu Sheng raised his hands, and the panic in his eyes hadn't completely dissipated.

Li Leping said: "Hands were soaked in water, and began to turn white and swollen, and the inside of the body also felt like an inflatable doll was stuffed with mud?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Sheng nodded repeatedly.

For some reason, he was also suddenly attacked by a ghost.

But after thinking about it carefully, he was even more puzzled.

Looking at the ghost who was getting farther and farther away from them in the smoke, and whose figure was becoming more and more blurred, Lu Sheng said, "Didn't you say there were two ghosts? Why did this one ghost attack with two ghosts at the same time?" ability?"

Water, soil, these are clearly the abilities of the two ghosts mentioned in the old man's letter.

But, why, why were he and Li Leping attacked by two ghosts at the same time when he was imprisoning this ghost covered in smoke?
Li Leping touched his palm, and after confirming that his body was back to normal, he said, "If you look into the smoke yourself, you can see a ghost covered in smoke."

"At first, I thought it was because the ghost's body was contaminated with soot from the smoke, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this is not the case."

Lu Sheng scratched the back of his head, not quite understanding: "Dude, can you stop being a riddle?"

Hearing this, Li Leping's face twitched, as if he wanted to express something, but after thinking about it, he tried to remain calm and said: "The ghost in the smoke is not the old man named Pang Shaochuan who explained in the letter One of the two ghosts, there is a third ghost in Qingshi Village."

"What?!" Lu Sheng was shocked, his eyes were wide open, and his jaw was about to dislocate.

There are not only two ghosts in Qingshi Village, but also a third ghost?

Li Leping glanced at Lu Sheng, then handed him the yellowed letter paper: "Look at the last thing in the letter."

"What you gain is only temporary, but what you lose is more?" Lu Sheng opened the folded letter paper and read out this sentence in a doubtful tone.

"Yes." Li Leping nodded, "This is the ability of that ghost."

Lu Sheng touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

After a while, he still shook his head in bewilderment: "Uh... I still don't quite understand what you mean."

Li Leping was silent for a moment, as if sorting out his words, and then said after a while: "From the moment I entered Qingshi Village, I felt something was wrong, that is, the recovery of the ghosts in my body seemed to be delayed by some kind of supernatural power gone."

"At first, I mistakenly thought that some kind of supernatural power in the village temporarily suppressed the recovery of the ghost in my body, but it wasn't until just now, after reading the letter left by the old man and confronting the ghost in the smoke, that I realized that, It's not that the ghost recovery in my body has been suppressed, but that the ghost recovery in my body has been transferred out."

"Transfer?" Lu Sheng was puzzled.

Li Leping looked at him and asked, "Have you ever played video games?"

"Interstellar or Warcraft?" Lu Sheng said proudly.

Looking back on the past, he was also a young Internet addict in his prime.

"Ugh……"

Li Leping sighed and rubbed his forehead, he felt like he was playing the piano against a cow now.

But there is no way, it is better to have a teammate than to do it alone.

"That's not what I meant." Li Leping felt that he had never been so patient.

"In the game, there is such a thing called damage transfer." He said slowly.

"Damage transfer?" Hearing this sentence, Lu Sheng was startled.

Li Leping continued: "Let me tell you about my inference. Some details may not stand up to scrutiny, but in general it should be like this."

"A month ago, a few young people who went out to work returned to Qingshi Village. By chance, they came to the old man's wooden house. They originally planned to conduct a live broadcast of the spirit exploration, but they found the old man under the bed. box."

"There is an unrecovered ghost imprisoned in the box, but this is not important to those young people, because they don't know what is imprisoned in the box, they only care about the material of the box."

"The box that can hold the ghost may be a priceless gold box, or something else that looks very valuable."

"So those young people decided to take the box away secretly after discussing and summarizing. Anyway, the old man has been missing for a while, and he has no children. No one will know what they did."

"As for the things in the box, I'm not sure about the appearance of that ghost, because it has suffered the price you deserved for you just now, so the smoke covered its appearance."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help interrupting: "Wait, you said that ghost paid the price for me?"

"Yes." Li Leping said, "Not only you, it also paid the price for me."

During the process of using the Forgotten Ghost to imprison the ghost, Li Leping noticed that his memory did not disappear at all.

The cost of using the ghost's ability was also transferred to it by the ghost in the smoke.

"Remember what I said at the beginning, that ghost's body was covered by a layer of soot, which made it impossible for me to see its true appearance, and that layer of soot should have been the price you had to bear by yourself." Li Leping said.

After taking a puff of cigarette, the smoke and dust will accumulate in Lu Sheng's lungs until he is completely killed.

As for whether Lu Sheng will turn into a ghost after death, Li Leping doesn't know.

After all, the pipe in his hand should be a supernatural item strictly speaking, but the manifestation of supernatural items is very complicated.

Ghost shroud, ghost rope, ghost scissors, hatchet, coffin nails...

Some of these so-called "items" are revived ghosts, some are dead ghosts, and some are items that are not only dead, but also costless to use.

Li Leping also doesn't quite understand the division of supernatural items, or these are man-made ghost things, and it is impossible to have a clear division standard.

It can only be said that the world is so big that there are no surprises.

As for whether Lu Sheng will turn into a smoker who takes two puffs of cigarettes when he dies, who knows?

Uncertainty and instability are always bound to the word "spiritual".
