The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 65 The Burnt Straw Hat

No, not gone.

In the air, there is still a lingering lingering smell, like the stench that can only be emitted after mud and rotten water are mixed together.

This was transferred by the transfer ghost, and it belonged to the attack that Li Leping should bear.

"The transfer ghost is still there."

Li Leping immediately made an accurate judgment, and his dignified gaze did not leave the shifting ghost's original position.

He immediately thought that it was because the price that Lu Sheng had to bear disappeared, so the ghost smoke on the transfer ghost also disappeared.

Once the ghost smoke on it disappears, people will naturally be unable to detect the location of the shifting ghost with the naked eye.

After all, the transfer ghost is originally a ghost that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Perhaps it can only be truly seen by using a certain method or using a certain medium.

"But, how did it disappear?" Li Leping cast his eyes on the old woman.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

He knew that the old man had used some means to make the curse of the transfer ghost on Lu Sheng disappear.

It's just that the speed of disappearing is too fast, and with his current ability, it is not enough to get in touch with this level of supernatural power.

The old lady didn't explain anything about this, or she had no intention of explaining.

She wasn't surprised that the transfer ghost disappeared.

The next moment, she slowly bowed down and stretched out her hand. On the empty ground, she seemed to grab something out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, a hat suddenly appeared in the old woman's hand.

A tattered black straw hat that looked like it had been scorched by flames.

Li Leping remembered this straw hat. He once observed the outline of this hat on the outline of the transferred ghost.

But at that time, he believed that the hat and the transfer ghost were one, and in order to prevent even more terrifying accidents due to cheap hands, he didn't dare to reach out and take it off.

Right now, the hat the old woman is holding looks similar to the hat made of brown rope in the countryside, but after being burned by the flames, the whole straw hat has become scorched black, and even half of the front of the brim is vacant. , which seems somewhat inconsistent.

However, at this moment.

Li Leping and Lu Sheng, who had been watching from the side, widened their eyes at the same time, as if they had seen something terrifying.

On the ground, a woman suddenly appeared, a woman lying on the ground?

No.

No, that's not a woman, exactly, that's not a "person".

Li Leping could clearly see that this person's limbs were jointed, just like a puppet in a troupe.

The puppet has no clothes, and its painted flesh-colored body is lying quietly on the ground, and it still has, or is stained with, long black hair.

The slender, black hair was filled with a strange and cold aura, covering the doll's cheeks, but one could vaguely see her terrifying face through the hair.

The so-called face was not made of flesh at all, the facial features looked like they were drawn with a brush, the black lines delineated its nose, eyes, and mouth, but the painted face was ultimately different from the outline of the facial features of a living person It's so different that it's scary to look at.

A pair of drawn eyes stared straight ahead, it was impossible to see the meaning of any living person.

"This is... the real appearance of the transfer ghost?"

Li Leping's heart trembled, and he had a guess in his mind.

That straw hat is the key.

The transfer ghost itself does not have the ability to hide itself. It is because of the weird straw hat that has been burned by some kind of flame that it can hide its own existence and become a ghost that cannot be observed by normal methods. .

"So that's the reason. That's why a few strands of women's hair suddenly appeared on the bodies of those dead villagers."

The long black hair of the female puppet instantly aroused his horrible memories in Qingshi Village, and reminded him of the tragic situation of the villagers in Qingshi Village before they died.

His body rotted into mud, and he opened his eyes wide in despair and pain, watching every inch of his skin turn into stinky mud, and finally died.

Without any warning or omen, even wailing could not relieve the pain, because the various organs in the body had already turned into a pile of mud, which was not enough to support them to make a sound.

And in the rotten soil mixed with dense white bones, there are such a few strands of abrupt hair faintly hidden.

"Take it." Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't put away the scorched black straw hat, but handed it to Li Leping.

"Give it to me?" Li Leping pointed to himself, a little unbelievable.

He had no intention of taking it away, or taking the straw hat for himself.

After all, the old woman took the hat off the transfer ghost's head, how dare he ask for it?
What's more, Li Leping didn't dare to be greedy for mysterious and unknown supernatural items before he knew how to use them.

Supernatural items are not toys. Once they get out of control, the first person to suffer a fatal threat is the user of the item.

"Do you think I need it?" The smile on the old woman's face was a little playful.

Let you take it away, and you will accept it well.

Li Leping didn't answer, but stretched out his hand silently, and took the straw hat from the old lady.

Indeed, for a ghost master of the old woman's level, a straw hat is already insignificant to her, so what if the hat involves supernatural powers?

Didn't she pick it off with her hands?

Li Leping's face couldn't help but change slightly when he took the straw hat that had been burnt black.

But fortunately, this chill was not accompanied by a more terrifying follow-up, which relieved him who was a little worried.

"After wearing this hat, only those who cover one eye can see you." The old lady glanced at the hat in Li Leping's hand, then looked at him and said.

"Cover one eye? So it's like this..." Li Leping nodded slightly, understanding the reason why they couldn't see the transfer ghost.

The old lady didn't say much, but every sentence was worth pondering and contained key information.

One sentence at this moment told him the function of this supernatural item.

She even seemed to know something about the transfer ghost in Qingshi Village and the hat on the transfer ghost's head, and she knew it very deeply, as if she was familiar with all of them.

Could it be that she knows the old man in Qingshi Village?

The old man who built a log cabin in the woods during the Republic of China.

Just ask and try it out.

Maybe this will clear up a lot of doubts.

Li Leping made up his mind and asked immediately: "Mother-in-law, you should know that old man in the village."

The old woman shook her head: "I know, but it's not important anymore. Knowing about a dead person is of no use to you."

It was shut down.

It seemed that she didn't want to tell too much about the old man, or about their time.
