Chapter 115: Meeting in Ghost Street

Because there were no teammates or a large number of practitioners accompanying him into the danger zone this time, Li Yi was particularly cautious. His eyes glowed in the darkness, and he was like an agile cheetah, moving quickly and steadily along a relatively safe route through the abandoned city.

Li Yi held the sniper rifle tightly in both hands. He had already loaded the bullets and even equipped it with a high-precision scope. If there was any danger around him that could attack him, he would shoot without hesitation.

This weapon that can hunt extraordinary creatures gave him a great sense of security.

"Ghost Street is not far from the blockade line. I have walked this road before, so I have some experience. As long as I am not too unlucky, I should not encounter any danger." He thought to himself.

After all, the deceased Brother Tao said that extraordinary creatures all have a sense of territory, and generally will not change their territory easily. The time interval from the last time they entered and exited the danger zone to this time was not very long, so the previous safe route can still be used.

That's the benefit of experience.

soon.

Li Yi passed by the place where he had hunted the tiger, and he could even see his footprints on the ground.

Everything is so familiar.

Coming here also means that Ghost Street is not far away.

But just as Li Yi slowed down and continued to move forward, suddenly, some sense in his body gave him a warning, as if some danger was lurking nearby.

This is the signal of inspiration.

Because Li Yi has become a practitioner in the realm of inspiration, but his body is injured and has not yet recovered. He needs a few days to transform. Therefore, his current state is similar to that of Ning Wu. Under such circumstances, Li Yi would not be discharged from the hospital. He would stay in the practice base obediently and perfect his inspiration.

However, Zhao Qian appeared in his dream and forced him to make this trip.

suddenly.

Li Yi's footsteps paused, then he changed direction, turned into a black shadow, and leaped into the ruins of a building. Then the barrel of a sniper rifle stretched out from a hole in the ruins.

A pair of bright and shining eyes also became dormant at this moment.

"It's not an illusion. There is something lingering around. It should not be a supernatural creature. The inspiration is just a warning and it does not send out a stronger signal." Li Yi was very calm. He immediately chose to search the surroundings with the sniper rifle's scope.

As long as he captures the target, he will immediately shoot and kill him.

The scope also has a night vision function, so you can see clearly at night.

As Li Yi quickly searched the surroundings, a silhouette of a beast wandering in the ruins came into his sight.

"It turned out to be a cat." Li Yi's expression changed slightly.

He saw a domestic cat walking in the danger zone in a very leisurely manner. Occasionally, it jumped to the top of the ruins and licked its fur and claws. It did not look like a ferocious beast at all and seemed completely harmless.

But inspiration never lies.

Li Yi soon discovered that the cat's eyes were like emeralds, emitting a faint light and were particularly eye-catching.

"This is not an ordinary night cat. This is a cat that has embarked on a spiritual journey. Its eyes are very bright, just like a spiritual practitioner who has activated a medium. No, this level of vision is far beyond that of a medium."

"Never mind, shoot it immediately."

The brief thought did not affect the movements of Li Yi's hands.

The moment he locked onto the cat, Li Yi had already pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A gunshot echoed in the darkness.

Almost at the same time, the cat suddenly turned its head, and its pair of green eyes locked directly on Li Yi who was hiding in the ruins.

Obviously, it sensed danger.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the gun fired, it moved instantly, at an unimaginable speed, and disappeared directly from Li Yi's sight, as if it had teleported.

The shot missed, but simply blew up a cloud of dirt on the ground ahead.

"A cat's reaction speed is too fast, almost five times faster than that of a human. Not to mention that it is a practicing cat. It is normal that I didn't hit it." Li Yi searched the surroundings again, but could no longer see any trace of the cat. Although this shot did not kill it, it made the cat aware of the threat posed by Li Yi.

So it was scared away.

But that's enough.

Li Yi didn't want to get entangled too much, so after making sure the surroundings were safe, he immediately picked up the sniper rifle and continued on his way.

He continued walking forward and encountered no other dangers. He thought that this area belonged to the cat and all other dangers had been cleared away by the cat.

This also saved Li Yi a lot of trouble.

soon.

As Li Yi continued to move forward, soon an urban building appeared in front of him. It was a city street with high-rise buildings on both sides. Although it had been abandoned for a long time, it was relatively well preserved in this danger zone without any damage or attack from supernatural creatures.

The reason for this is that the area ahead is the most dangerous.

Ghost Street!

Li Yi looked at the street.

The street was decorated with lights and red lanterns hung high. All kinds of figures were wandering on the road. You could vaguely see some strange ghosts wearing shrouds, as well as some terrifying ghost soldiers with haggard faces that looked like mummies. If you didn't know where to go, you would think you had stepped into the underworld. Any practitioners who entered or left the danger zone had already designated this place as a forbidden area.

Because apart from Li Yi, almost no one can leave Ghost Street alive.

"We're here." All that weirdness was very familiar to Li Yi.

He looked at the time.

Ten fifty-one.

There are nine minutes left until the agreed midnight.

Li Yi took a deep breath, found a safe place to sit down, then took off the backpack behind him, took out the smelly human skin hood, and put the mud horse into his pocket, ready to use at any time. As for the sniper rifle, he chose to carry it on his back instead of holding it in his hand.

Because weapons such as guns have no effect on ghosts and are of almost no use in Ghost Street.

After making these preparations, Li Yi put on a human skin mask, and then walked along the same route as last time, heading towards the Ghost Street.

Because of the psychic, the moment Li Yi stepped into the ghost street, he immediately saw countless strange figures moving around him. These people exuded bursts of deathly aura. Just by getting close to them, his inspiration would give him a warning, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The identities of the 'people' on Ghost Street are very complicated. There are souls of the dead who died unjustly, people pretending to be living people, and ghost soldiers with terrifying strength. There are both real things and things from the underworld.

It's like the intersection of the human world and hell, where there are many incomprehensible things.

Li Yi carried a sniper rifle and wore a hood. He held his breath as much as possible to reduce his human breath to the minimum so as not to attract the attention of some ghosts.

Moving forward carefully, he avoided the large crowds and began to look for the route he took last time.

"I remember that if we continue walking forward there will be an alley with some ancient houses and buildings. That's where I saw my master last time. I just don't know if Zhao Qian will be there this time." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart and planned to go back to the old place to take a look.

As he went deeper, the surrounding buildings gradually changed.

The high-rise buildings in reality began to gradually disappear, and were replaced by an ancient street with blue bricks and gray tiles. At the same time, more and more people were surging on the street.

Li Yi didn't dare to touch any ghosts or dead souls, and he avoided them carefully every time.

At about ten minutes past eleven in the evening, he finally found the familiar alley.

"This is it." Under the human skin hood, Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, and the scene of their separation that day immediately emerged in his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He dived into the alley.

This alley is seldom visited, and only ghost soldiers occasionally wander here.

Li Yi quickened his pace. He had a good memory and turned left and right in the alley quickly. After a while, he arrived in front of a small courtyard with a slightly open wooden door.

This small courtyard was where his master Zhao Ge taught him boxing.

I never thought that I would have the chance to revisit this place one day.

The only difference from the last time is that the door god posted in front of the courtyard has completely faded and is badly damaged. Only a few pieces of torn paper are still stuck on the wooden door, and the portrait on it has long been eroded and cannot be seen clearly.

Li Yi pushed the door open and walked in.

A cold wind blew into the courtyard, bringing with it a musty and foul smell. At the same time, all kinds of paper money scattered on the ground flew everywhere, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

However, when Li Yi went in to investigate, he found that the courtyard was empty.

There were no coffins or memorial tablets for Zhao Qian and Zhao Ge in the lobby. The lobby was empty. Only a wooden board with a fist mark on the ground proved that Li Yi had not come to the wrong place.

"The time is up, but Zhao Qian is not here. Could something have happened?" Li Yi looked at the time again.

11:30.

"Maybe I came too early or I should wait a little longer. If Zhao Qian hasn't shown up after midnight, I'll ride my mud horse back immediately and not stay here." Li Yi had made a plan in his mind.

Looked around.

After making sure it was safe for the time being, he found a corner and sat down, quietly waiting for time to pass.

However, Li Yi waited until twelve o'clock, but there was no change in the courtyard. Instead, some ghost soldiers wandered past the door, and seemed to smell the scent of living people, and looked towards the courtyard.

Fortunately, Li Yi held his breath and did not move, so the ghost soldiers did not enter the courtyard to investigate, and he avoided danger.

"Am I waiting in the wrong place? Last time, Master and Zhao Qian entered Ghost Street from this small courtyard, but they may not appear in the same place next time. I should wait at the intersection so that Zhao Qian can see me no matter where she comes out from."

Li Yi thought about it and decided not to continue defending. He left the courtyard and returned along the original path.

Just as he turned back to the entrance of the alley, Li Yi suddenly saw a paper man standing there motionless.

However, when he looked carefully, he found that it was not a paper figure, but Zhao Qian's figure. It was just that Zhao Qian's disguise was too real. At first glance, it looked like a paper figure in front of a grave.

"Did I really meet Zhao Qian again?" At this moment, Li Yi was actually a little excited and immediately strode over.

Not close yet.

The paper figure that looked like a girl suddenly moved and glanced back cautiously.

Zhao Qian was stunned at first, but then she recognized the familiar human skin hood and immediately became excited. Tears suddenly welled up in her originally dull eyes, like a child who had suffered grievances and frustrations and suddenly found relatives and support, and could no longer control her emotions.

"Brother Yi"

An involuntary cry came out, Zhao Qian's eyes were red at this moment, she walked over quickly and threw herself on Li Yi.

"Woooo~!"

Feeling that familiar breath and the body temperature of a living person, Zhao Qian couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
