Although they had a lot on their minds, neither Yue Li nor Yang Jian opened their mouths to interrupt the man who was speaking, but continued to listen.
After a moment of silence, the man did not hide anything and continued:
"The post office has existed for a long time, so accidents inevitably occur. When some evil ghosts were chasing the messenger, they came to the fifth floor by chance.
And because it has been so long, this special situation has happened more than once."
Regarding this situation, both Yue Li and Yang Jian had some guesses, so they did not show any surprise after hearing the man's words.
The man continued:
"After the evil spirits from outside invade the fifth floor of the post office, there will basically be two outcomes: either kill all the couriers, or be dealt with.
Room No. 505 was once used to deal with a fierce ghost. The ghost was suspected to be involved in the Republic of China period and was very dangerous. Therefore, that room later became a taboo, and no messenger dared to set foot there again."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately noticed the flaw in the man's words and said directly:
"Since the evil ghost has been dealt with, why has room 505 become a room that cannot be set foot in?"
"As far as you know, the messenger on the seventh floor only needs to complete the letter delivery task once a year. He cannot choose to leave the ghost post office until he has successfully delivered eight letters;
When it comes to the future of our lives, we cannot even equate room with life.
Yue Li also said seriously at this time;
"That's because the evil ghost never came out of the room again. It seems that the previous letter used some means to confine the evil ghost in the room."
The woman nodded.
At this time, Yang Jian still didn’t fully understand:
Yue Li on the side also showed a look of relief when he heard what I said.
Because that represents a way forward.
Fan Li, who was also confused at first, immediately came to his senses and figured out the matter before hearing Yang Jian's words.
From Yang Jian's point of view, this was not an unnecessary move at all.
Before hearing Yang Jian's question, the woman did not answer directly. Instead, she asked:
I also feel that it doesn’t make sense for the messenger on the seventh floor to do that.
"Escape from pursuit!"
In this way, the rooms on the seventh floor don't seem to be too important to the messenger, so why should we go to such trouble."
At this time, Yang Jian continued to say with an indifferent expression:
Before we entered the post office, whether it was personal experience or other couriers we had seen, we all temporarily stayed in the ghost post office for a period of time.
"It must be like that. Why does this post office have rooms on every floor? Even if there is no letter delivery task, it is impossible to just put the letters in the small hall on the first floor;
That's not a very muddled answer.
In this way, the messenger basically only needs one room, and he will not be able to stay for one night.
After a long time like this, those rooms on the seventh floor of the post office were no longer dangerous."
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Fan Li's mind, and she said subconsciously:
In the process of completing the task of delivering messages, a few messengers will inadvertently trigger the murderous pattern of the ghosts, and thus be targeted by the ghosts.
"In order to avoid being chased by ghosts, some messengers have to choose to live in the post office for a long time. Moreover, the lower the floor, the fewer letters the messengers deliver, the less likely they are to be targeted by ghosts."
Is that an unusual thing? Is there any other secret in it?
In that case, there is absolutely no need to use any means to set a trap in the room.
In this way, before the courier receives the task of delivering the letter, taking the letter directly from the small hall cannot be his task, and he is completely staying outside the post office."
At this time, Yang Jian suddenly recalled that among the couriers we met later, a small number of them did return to the post office because they received the task of delivering letters.
At this time, Yue Li thought of room 507.
The woman looked at Yang Jian, and there was a hint of meaning in her eyes. I didn't expect Yang Jian to discover the truth so slowly.
The man seemed to have guessed that Yang Jian would ask this question, so after Yang Jian opened his mouth, he immediately answered:
Although I didn't say anything directly to this woman at this time, she nodded heavily.
It doesn't matter which one it is, anyway, Yue Li hasn't found the evil ghost in the room yet and thrown it out.
There is no ghost in this room. We just know that this evil ghost was imprisoned in the room by the future messenger, or it was a trap deliberately set for it.
The woman seemed not to have expected Yang Jian to speak, and immediately looked over;
Seeing the woman nodding, Yang Jian finally confirmed his guess.
However, those couriers who were targeted by the ghosts managed to escape back to the post office and used the characteristics of the ghost post office to protect themselves.
"Since there was no courier at the beginning and it was impossible to deal with one ghost in one room, then naturally the previous couriers could not use the same method to deal with the evil ghosts that invaded the post office.
Yang Jian suddenly asked without any doubts or answers.
That question confused Yang Jian and Fan Li.
Just because of the existence of the ghost post office, those evil ghosts temporarily stopped their pursuit.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly said:
According to common sense, the courier will only actively withdraw to the post office after receiving the task of delivering the letter. At other times, he will basically stay in the post office.
"So it's not so much that the messengers in the future solved the invading evil spirits, or it's more like using the room outside the seventh floor to imprison the evil spirits."
And a ghost post office is not the worst place.
"What he said is wrong. As time goes by, the messengers on the seventh floor change, and that situation continues to happen. Now, all the rooms on that floor are dangerous."
But it doesn't mean that the evil ghost really let us go.
"Why do they always think that rooms in the post office are just for temporary accommodation by messengers?"
Hearing that, Fan Li frowned immediately.
Once the couriers targeted by the evil spirits leave the post office, the evil spirits will still find the couriers again and continue to hunt them down.
But there are not many couriers, and they seem to live outside the post office for a long time.
Whether those people had the strength of Yang Jian, they would naturally be able to directly deal with those evil spirits, so they could only find ways to avoid the evil ghosts' pursuit.
Now this room belongs to you and a few of us.
Combining what we saw and heard after that, as well as what Yang Jian said just now, and what the woman in room 502 said, I also completely confused the matter.
Before the woman heard this, she was silent for a while, and then said in a tone of urgency:
In fact, Fan Li has been thinking about that matter since daytime.
After that time, Yang Jian and Yue Li needed to ask, so the woman continued:
I really didn't think about that issue after that, or maybe it was ignored by my subconscious mind. Now after the woman reminded me, I immediately realized that it was true.
That also explains why the messenger on the seventh floor cares so much about the room outside.
The same goes for Yue Li.
"Confining a ghost in one room for the danger of one floor may seem like a good deal, but it's just poison to quench thirst."
