As soon as the lights went out, darkness swept over.
In an instant, it was like being swept directly into the deep sea, surrounded by darkness, a cold atmosphere spreading, and fear boiling.
The moment the fire went out, Zhang Xiaohui screamed subconsciously out of instinct.
"damn it!"
The moment he sensed something was wrong, Li Jian didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated the ghost realm. This was an instinct honed by wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time.
The task of delivering letters is never simple. Dealing with evil ghosts for a long time has already honed his reaction ability.
Frankly speaking, if he were to be the person in charge of a city, he might not be any worse than other people.
But the moment he used the ghost realm, he was surprised to find that the ghost realm was suppressed, and his own supernatural powers were also suppressed.
The ghost realm that usually can be opened according to the mind like eating and drinking, at this moment, it seems that there is a delay in the network, and the scope covered by the ghost realm has become extremely narrow, and it can only be barely covered.
This house.
No, there is one thing that the ghost realm cannot cover, and that is the black coffin placed in the center of the room.
The ghost realm that covered the past was hindered, like water hitting a rock.
Unable to cover the past, we can only go around and move forward.
The room was shrouded in gray and white, and the surrounding area had entered a ghost realm.
Only the area where the coffin is located remains normal and cannot be affected by the ghost realm.
"Has the ghost realm failed?"
But in the current situation, Li Jian didn't care about this. After ensuring his own safety and not being attacked by evil spirits, he looked back at the other messengers.
"What happened! Why did the lights suddenly go out."
In the darkness, Zhang Xiaohui's shocked and angry voice came: "I...I don't know what happened, but...but the bronze lamp suddenly went out, as if it was blown out by something."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked and their scalps went numb. They were all extremely horrified.
Because the bronze lamp plus the remaining lamp oil at this moment, the combined effect of the two is the same as the ghost candle.
After it is lit, the area covered by the fire cannot be approached by evil spirits, and people are in absolute safety.
However, the closer you are to the terrifying ghost, the faster the lamp oil will be consumed. Under special circumstances, it may even be consumed within a few minutes or even tens of seconds, greatly shortening the time to safety.
In a sense, the lamp oil in the bronze lamp has exactly the same effect as the red ghost candle. Perhaps the lamp oil itself is one of the materials for making ghost candles.
But the current situation of the fire being blown out is even more frightening. What kind of ghost is needed to quietly invade the area covered by the fire and blow out the lamp directly?
It's meaningless, this represents a very scary signal:
Dangerous, extremely dangerous.
In an instant, Li Jian felt his scalp numb. Even though he had used the ghost realm at this moment, it did not give him any sense of security at all.
If the one who blew out the bronze lamp was a ghost, then since it could silently invade the area covered by the fire, could it also silently invade its own ghost realm?
Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart that he wanted to escape from this terrifying place.
However, escaping will not solve any problem. Even if he leaves here, the curse of the ghost post office is waiting for him. If he does not complete the task of delivering the letter, he will still die in the end.
So he suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted in a low voice:
"Turn the lights back on!"
After a while, the green fire light came back on, and that familiar sense of security once again flooded into their hearts. At this time, the messengers all breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had been lifted from their hearts.
However, it was at this time that others discovered something was wrong.
Because among the four people who came in, one person has disappeared.
That Zhao Peng is missing.
"Damn it, where is Zhao Peng?"
"I don't know, he was clearly next to me just now!"
Upon discovering this, the faces of the three people suddenly became extremely ugly.
Zhao Peng disappeared. At the moment when darkness suddenly came, a large living person disappeared from their side quietly.
No one can be seen alive, no corpses can be seen dead...
Was it done by ghosts?
still……
But the question is where is the ghost?
A gray-white ghost realm enveloped the house, but Li Jian was stunned to find nothing, not even a trace of the ghost.
There was a deathly silence in the room, and an unprecedented sense of depression enveloped the hearts of the remaining people.
After the lamp was blown out, Zhao Peng disappeared. If it goes out again next time, who will disappear?
"What should I do? Do you want to continue?"
For a long time, Zhang Xiaohui said with a hint of fear that Zhao Peng's disappearance had made her very uneasy. In her opinion, perhaps it was because Zhao Peng was neither a ghost controller nor a supernatural object, so he became the target of ghosts.
.
But now Zhao Peng has disappeared, and she is the only one left among the three remaining ghost masters who is an ordinary person. So... will the next person disappear be herself?
However, it was unrealistic to leave at the moment. It was completely impossible to get off. I scanned the surroundings again and still found nothing unusual. The only suspicious thing was the coffin in front of me.
Li Jian said with a gloomy expression: "Continue, it's hard to stop now. Zhang Xiaohui, you are responsible for protecting yourself and don't let the lights go out. I suspect that the pattern of ghosts attacking people may be related to darkness."
"Fang Hai, you should take action together and stop hiding it. If this continues, all of us will die here."
"good!"
Fang Hai obviously realized the seriousness of the matter. While frowning, he also directly used Li Gui's ability.
I saw him directly taking off the weird puppet from his hand, and said gently: "Yao Yao, I need your help this time."
Then he actually put the gothic doll on his head, as if wearing a hood.
A strange scene appeared.
It is obviously the kind of doll toy that can only be inserted into one hand. At this moment, Fang Hai's entire head was directly inserted into it. At first glance, it looked like Fang Hai's head was eaten by the doll.
It's the same in the body.
The figure of an adult man, with his head missing, was replaced by a Gothic doll. The doll seemed to have grown from the neck. At the same time, Fang Hai's whole body began to be filled with...
He felt a sense of coldness and terror, as if he had turned into a ghost.
Obviously, this is his way of using supernatural powers.
