Following the stairs, Li Yue and his party finally reached the third floor of the ghost post office.
The layout of the third floor is basically the same as that of the second floor, with the same zigzag corridor and the same seven rooms.
However, there is a small open space on the third floor patio.
"There seems to be no one on the third floor of the ghost post office today."
After Li Yang looked around, he found that the entire third floor was very quiet, and no one seemed to be there.
"It seems that our luck is not very good. No courier received the task of delivering letters today, so the courier is not in the ghost post office."
Li Yue said with some regret.
At this time, Yang Jian also had a look of regret in his eyes.
Without a messenger to deliver the letter, they had no way to snatch the letter and get upstairs quickly.
"I heard that the time span between the delivery of letters by the courier on the third floor is very long, so the courier on the third floor has plenty of time to maintain a normal life."
Cai Yu looked around, then said solemnly.
"That's true." Li Yue nodded;
"As far as I know, the courier on the third floor usually delivers a letter every three months. When there is no mission, the courier generally does not stay at the ghost post office, except for some special people."
"What about the messengers on the fourth and fifth floors?" Yang Jian asked.
Li Yue thought about it for a moment, and then said calmly:
"The fourth floor should deliver a letter every six months. The messenger on the fifth floor seems to deliver a letter every year, but it is not certain. If there are special circumstances, the ghost post office will also arrange letter delivery tasks in advance."
At this time, Cai Yu also said: "I have communicated with the messengers on the third floor before, and they said the same thing."
Although he has delivered two letters on the second floor now, he was still a newcomer when he first went to the second floor, so he would naturally know some old people.
The old man at that time should be the messenger on the third floor now, so he naturally has some contact with the messenger on the third floor.
Just like the relationship between Wang Shan and him.
"There is no messenger and no one. It seems a bit difficult to continue going upstairs in a short time." Yang Jian pondered.
"Captain, we have already climbed two floors in one day, which is fast enough. If we continue to rush forward, we will definitely have to pay a very high price. I think it is best to slow down appropriately." Li Yang suggested.
Yang Jian shook his head and said seriously:
"If we really deliver a letter every three months, normally it would take at least nine months to get upstairs. This time is too long.
I don’t have the time to waste it, and even if you control two ghosts, I’m afraid you won’t be able to last until that time.”
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was a ghost controller;
The ghost controllers are all short-lived ghosts. Even if he controls the second ghost now, it has greatly eased the ghost's recovery.
But after all, easing up is not a solution. The ghost's resurrection still exists, and his lifespan will not be long.
Even if he starts from today and uses the power of the ghost infrequently, he will die from the ghost's resurrection in the end.
After calculation, they really don't have time to waste like this.
"In this case, let's follow the previous plan. If there are other messengers, just grab his letter." Li Yue said calmly;
"When the letter is received, whether to deliver it according to the requirements of the ghost post office or to tear the letter into pieces depends on the actual situation."
Hearing what Li Yue said, Yang Jian nodded directly, but although Li Yang had a worried look in his eyes;
But thinking of Li Yue's ability, he didn't say anything more.
At this time, Wang Shan suddenly came over and reminded:
"Although I know that you are very powerful, but even so, it is best not to tear up more than three letters in a row, as that will lead to a very terrifying attack."
Li Yue nodded at Wang Shan's reminder.
Although he was not worried about the evil spirits attracted by tearing up the letter, the other party had good intentions after all, and he was not the kind of fool who didn't recognize good people's hearts.
Li Yue suddenly sighed with regret:
"Unfortunately, the red letters I encountered before should only appear under special circumstances, and they cannot happen every time.
It is impossible to use the red letter to go directly upstairs every time."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Wang Shan and Yang Xiaohua suddenly changed.
Although Li Yue didn't say it clearly, they all knew what Li Yue meant.
It is a pity that there are too few red letters.
And they all know that if they really encounter a red letter this time, it is unlikely that Li Yue will deliver the letter. It is more likely that he will directly tear the red letter into pieces.
Thinking of this, several people suddenly couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Xiaohua looked at Li Yue, as if she wanted to say something, but there was a look of fear in her eyes;
Finally, after a short psychological struggle, he finally spoke:
"The red letter is the highest-level letter and requires all the couriers on the first floor to deliver it. You can imagine how dangerous it is.
The red letters we encountered before should be the least dangerous on the first floor, followed by the second floor... If they are still torn into pieces on the third floor, I'm afraid the danger will not be as simple as one plus one."
After saying this, Yang Xiaohua looked at Li Yue carefully and found that Li Yue did not show any dissatisfaction. Then she boldly continued:
"And you have already torn the letter into pieces once. If you tear it up again, the risk will definitely increase dramatically;
Someone has analyzed before that if the risk of tearing up the first letter is 1, then the second letter is 2, the third letter is 4, and the fourth letter is 16...
One courier struggled to death and tore into pieces three letters."
Through the previous events, he also discovered that Li Yue and others were not ordinary people at all.
In addition to possessing weird abilities, what is even more terrifying is the way these people do things.
She was very afraid that Li Yue and the others would continue to mess around on the third floor, so she took the letter and tore it up, thinking of shortening the time and going upstairs as soon as possible.
By that time, maybe people like Li Yue can survive the attack of the evil spirits, but normal messengers like them will not have that ability.
As Yang Xiaohua finished speaking, Li Yue immediately looked at Yang Xiaohua, his eyes calm.
He neither said anything in agreement nor directly refuted it.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly said coldly:
"No matter how dangerous it is, if it is an ordinary letter, we may consider delivering it, but if we encounter a red letter, we will tear it into pieces without hesitation."
At this time, Yang Jian's expression was unusually firm. His tone was not that of a discussion at all, but more like a routine announcement.
"You have no idea what kind of impact the red letter will have on the outside world. If you are not careful, it can cause the complete fall of a large city.
If just killing a few of you can offset a supernatural event of this level, I will do it without hesitation, because it is a good deal."
"You..." Yang Xiaohua wanted to retort, but held back.
Being easily defined as a expendable person, she felt very angry emotionally at this time, but her reason told her that Yang Jian's approach was not wrong.
Although it is cruel to people like them, it is the right thing to do to those outside.
If his and Yang's identities were reversed, maybe he would make a similar decision.
Even primary school students know how to choose between an individual and a city.
But now that this expendable person has become herself, Yang Xiaohua finds it a little difficult to accept it.
