Chapter 140 Both sides are suspicious of each other
Zhao Feng, who chose to return to the post office early, was naturally confident.
Although there are evil spirits wandering around the post office after lights out, Zhao Feng is not an ordinary messenger.
More than ten years ago, Zhao Feng was a famous seducer.
Even if it is a head-on confrontation with a fierce ghost, it is not false at all.
It's just that Zhao Feng had to stop not long after he walked up the stairs to the fifth floor.
The post office is very quiet after lights out, and any small sound will become very obvious;
"You heard it right, there were footsteps coming downstairs just now."
Although Zhao Feng has the strength to confront Li Gui head-on, it does not mean that he is not afraid of Li Gui and is willing to confront Li Gui.
If given a choice, Zhao Feng hoped that it would be best not to have any encounter with the evil ghost.
This is the best.
But the current situation seems not to be what he expected:
"My luck can't be so bad, right? I bumped into the ghost inside the post office when I first came to the post office? And I met him on the stairs."
If he encounters a powerful ghost in a spacious space, Zhao Feng will naturally not be too worried.
Because as long as he doesn't encounter a ghost attacking from a distance, or a ghost with a certain death pattern, he is confident that he can fight against it.
At least he has the ability to protect himself.
But it would be inconvenient to meet a ghost on this staircase.
The space is too small, which is not conducive to his performance at all.
"If I had known that I would encounter this situation, I shouldn't have been anxious. I should have waited and come back at dawn at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zhao Feng felt a little regretful.
"There is no need to rush to kill the newcomer who took the black letter. Anyway, the letter delivery task will not really start until tomorrow at least. It will not be too late to start at that time."
After a short period of thinking, Zhao Feng began to want to retreat temporarily.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but he simply didn't want to conflict with the evil spirits in the post office.
Because that actually doesn't make much sense.
For a ghost controller, fighting against a powerful ghost means losing no matter what the final result is.
Even if he really suppresses the evil ghost, it will stimulate the evil ghost in the body to revive, which is detrimental to the ghost controller no matter what.
Moreover, most of the dangerous ghosts wandering around the post office are quite high. If someone doesn't deal with them well, he may die here.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng immediately made a decision to retreat to the lobby on the first floor for the time being.
This way, even if you really have to fight against a fierce ghost, you can do it easily.
Just when Zhao Feng was about to lift his feet, he suddenly heard
The footsteps on the stairs appeared again, and it seemed that the owner of the footsteps continued walking down after a short pause.
Moreover, Zhao Feng also noticed that the frequency of footsteps did not slow down, but had a vague tendency to speed up.
This shows that the existence above has probably discovered him and has targeted him;
Zhao Feng's expression suddenly changed;
"Are you here for me?"
After Zhao Feng thought for a while, he gave up his decision and no longer chose to turn around and leave.
Although he hasn't delivered a message for a long time, as an experienced messenger, Zhao Feng has faced supernatural beings not once or twice.
He knew very well that if the ghost was really targeting him, it would be meaningless to turn around and leave;
The ghost will follow you until the attack is over.
And if you turn your back to the ghost, you are more likely to be in danger.
"There is no other way. It seems that we can only deal with the coming evil ghost first." Although Zhao Feng felt helpless, he immediately made preparations.
His eyes were fixed on the stairs above.
Although he cannot see in the dark because he does not have the ability to master ghost eyes, he can still judge the distance between each other through the location of footsteps.
At the top of the stairs, Yue Li and Yang Jian did not act rashly after they noticed that the footsteps had stopped.
They suspected that Zhao Feng below was a ghost.
But it is not completely certain;
"Whether it's a fierce ghost or not, since you've encountered it, let's go down and have a look." A look of excitement flashed in Yue Li's eyes.
Regardless of whether the person under the stairs is a ghost or something else, it would be better for Yue Li than nothing unusual at all.
Besides, even if the one below is really a fierce ghost, Yue Li is confident that he can solve it.
After hearing what Yue Li said, Yang Jian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Then Yue Li and Yang Jian continued walking down the stairs.
Because the stairs were covered in black haze, even if they had ghost eyes, the distance they could see was very limited.
But after walking a certain distance, Yue Li could already see the figure at the bottom of the stairs through his ghost eyes.
But after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Yue Li's face couldn't help but froze.
Because he actually saw a person on the stairs.
A slightly fat man, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a blood-stained apron.
At this time, the man had a solemn look on his face, and he raised his head slightly and looked sharply towards the top of the stairs.
He seemed to be wary of him and Yang Jian.
"It's a person! How could it be a person?" Yue Li was very confused.
According to his guess, the footsteps he heard just now should be those of a fierce ghost, but he didn't expect them to be those of a living person.
Although Yue Li sensed a supernatural aura on the other party's body, it was not a ghost, but a ghost controller.
"Strange, why are there still living people wandering around the post office at this time? Could it be a messenger from a certain level?
But this is the staircase leading to the fifth floor, and ordinary messengers should not be able to climb this staircase."
Yang Jian also had a puzzled look on his face.
He, who also had ghost eyes, naturally saw Zhao Feng below.
From Zhao Feng's rich expression and reaction, it can be seen that the other party is definitely not a ghost, but a person, a post office messenger.
"That only means that this person is actually the messenger from the fifth floor." Yue Li said softly.
Yang Jian nodded, feeling that this was the only explanation.
At this time, Yang Jian once again observed Zhao Feng below through his ghost eyes.
Although Zhao Feng's eyes were also looking in their direction, they knew that the other party definitely did not see the two of them.
Unless the person below also has supernatural powers like ghost eyes.
Although he couldn't see it, Yang Jian believed that the person below must have heard the sound of them going down the stairs just now.
Just like when he and Yue Li heard the footsteps coming from below.
It was precisely because he heard the sound that the person below showed a vigilant expression.
It seems that the other party also thought that the person coming down the stairs was a ghost.
But this is not important. What Yang Jian is really confused about is another thing:
“Why would this fifth-floor courier choose to come to the post office after lights out at night?
The letter delivery task cannot occur at night. What is his purpose of entering the post office at this time? It cannot be that he came to the post office in advance to rest, right? "
The more Yang Jian thought about it, the more doubtful he became.
Obviously the situation on the fifth floor is so complicated. It is basically impossible for any courier to return to the post office without incident, and it is still at night.
Yang Jian was thinking while observing Zhao Feng below.
