As soon as twelve o'clock passed, the atmosphere that had been relaxed just now suddenly became serious.
Because from now on, this ancient house has officially entered its last day, and the recipient of the letter will also appear on this day. Although there have been many dangers in the previous six days, those dangers are not important.
If the task of delivering the letter is not completed today, it will be meaningless no matter how long Yang Jian and others stayed in this ancient house.
"It seems everything is normal."
Everyone in the lobby was silent, paying attention to every move around them.
I thought something would happen at this time, but in fact everything was normal, no different from before. There were no supernatural phenomena or weird things happening.
"I really didn't find anything wrong." Yang Jian peered around with his ghostly eyes.
There is no supernatural interference nearby, and his ghost eyes can see many places.
But despite this, Yang Jian still didn't seem to find any information about the recipient of the letter.
"Perhaps it was too early and the recipient did not appear. The post office's mission said that the recipient will appear at twelve o'clock in the evening seven days later. This twelve o'clock may not refer to this twelve o'clock, but to ten o'clock tonight.
It’s two o’clock, we still have to wait twenty-four hours.” Yang Xiaohua said.
"That is indeed what the post office's mission requirements say." Li Yang also said; "Seven days later, at twelve o'clock in the evening, the recipient will appear. Let us deliver the red letter to the recipient before he leaves.
.”
"It's only the early morning of the seventh day, and it's not yet evening."
Zhou Deng said: "I've been working on it for a long time. It's just a false alarm. Can't we wait for another day? Then it's okay. It's time to sleep. I will continue my research."
Yang Jian said: "The information is correct, but don't forget, we entered the ancient house before twelve o'clock in the evening, so if we count it as one day, then the burial will be the next day...
"
"Word game?" Yang Xiaohua frowned: "It shouldn't be like this."
"Whether it's twelve o'clock or twelve o'clock twenty-four hours later, we can't be careless. Regardless of whether it's a word play or not, it's twelve o'clock now. If the recipient of the letter wants to appear, he will definitely appear within this period of time.
Yes, it will only take another half hour or so."
He didn't dwell too much on this issue.
Anyway, he still had to spend time in the old house today. Even if he didn't sleep, he still had to wait for the messenger to show up, because the task requirements on the post office were very clear, and he had to deliver the letter before the messenger left.
That is to say.
The recipient is on the move, even just passing by the ancient house, or only lingering in the ancient house for a minute or two.
Once the opportunity is missed, the letter delivery mission means complete failure.
Yang Jian couldn't be stupid enough to guard a certain period of time.
"That's right. Wait another hour and see if the recipient will appear. If not, it proves that it is not the correct time to send the letter." Li Yang nodded and said.
Yang Jian didn't say anything, he just took out the red letter and checked it.
There was nothing wrong with the letter or damage, and the red envelope was intact and had not been opened.
"Keep waiting." Yang Jian said casually.
Everyone cheered up and paid attention to the disturbances in the ancient house, waiting for the time to send the letter.
Time passed minute by minute.
Soon, the time came to twelve o'clock.
Everything is still normal in the ancient house. This is a bit different from the mission requirements on the post office, because the mission clearly stated that the recipient will appear at twelve o'clock. Now ten minutes have passed and there is no movement, then
It can only prove that it is not the current time period.
"It looks like it's really twelve o'clock twenty-four hours later, not this." Yang Xiaohua said.
"It's really troublesome for you couriers to deliver a letter. That post office is indeed special. It controls a large number of people to deliver letters. It's really hard to imagine the purpose of such a special and weird place.
?" Zhou Deng said casually.
"I also want to know the answer to your question, but this ghost post office will not exist for long. I will deal with it after delivering the letter this time." Yang Jian said seriously.
"That's good. If you go to the fifth floor of the post office, there will be two captains on the fifth floor of the post office. It will be a good thing for you to join hands and deal with this damn place." Zhou Deng said.
Yang Jian said: "I hope so."
A few people chatted without saying a word, passing the boring time.
However, when the time came to 12:25 pm.
"Crunch!"
The sound of an old wooden door being opened suddenly sounded. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed particularly clear in this quiet ancient house.
A moment.
Everyone who was chatting just now shut their mouths and all looked in the direction of the sound.
That's...the direction of the back hall.
The back door opened.
"The back door and front door were closed and bolted before. Basically, they couldn't be pushed open easily." Yang Jian's expression changed slightly: "It seems that the recipient is here."
"But the time doesn't match up. It's now 12:25." Liu Qingqing said, "The post office said the recipient would show up at 12 o'clock in the evening."
"No, the time is right, it's exactly twelve o'clock in the evening." Yang Jian said.
Li Yang, Yang Xiaohua, and Zhou Deng looked at Yang Jian, and they were all surprised.
Even if you are the captain, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Now everyone's mobile phone time here shows twelve twenty-five. Even if the error is a few minutes, it still doesn't match twelve o'clock.
.
Yang Jian did not explain.
He knows why.
Because Yang Jian restarted for twenty-five minutes yesterday, the restart scope included the ancient house, so the time of the ancient house was affected. Although it is now 12:25, if the ancient house was not affected by the restart
If so, it should be twelve o'clock sharp now.
But at this time, he did not deliberately explain or explain.
Others did not dwell too much on this issue. Now the back door of the ancient house has been pushed open by something. This abnormality has appeared, and we must be more vigilant.
Everyone's eyes focused on the aisle leading to the back hall.
Although I feel uneasy in my heart.
But they are also eager to know who will appear in the ancient house on this last day to serve as the recipient of the letter.
soon.
There was a sound of footsteps in the back hall. The footsteps were very light, like walking in a pair of cloth shoes. The movement was not loud, but you could still tell from the movement that someone had entered the ancient house.
After the footsteps appeared in the back hall, another voice sounded.
"Crunch!"
This is the sound of the door closing, and even after closing the door, there is the movement of the door bolt.
"That thing came in and closed the door." This thought came to everyone in the lobby.
Through this little movement, it is easy to clearly judge what the people in the back hall are doing.
Yang Jian wanted to find out what was going on, but his ghostly eyes moved and he looked directly at the back hall.
Even if it is blocked by a wall, as long as there is no supernatural interference, he can still ignore the barrier of the wall and see the situation behind the ancient house.
but.....
Ghost Eyes indeed ignored the barrier of the wall and saw the back hall.
However, the back hall was empty, there was nothing, neither the recipient of the letter nor any trace of the evil ghost was found.
"Another incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon." Yang Jian thought thoughtfully, but he did not forcefully use his ghost eyes to search.
The footsteps in the back hall continued to sound.
Not only did that thing come in, it also walked towards the lobby.
Tread, tap!
The footsteps are very light, but very rhythmic. If you close your eyes, you can really hear that it is a person walking over.
But your eyes can't see it.
Not only Yang Jian's ghost eyes can't see it, but other people's eyes can't see it either.
"Can you hear the sound, but can't see the person? I wonder if you can touch it." Zhou Deng's expression moved slightly. He put on the human skin mask, then listened to the direction of the footsteps, and strode over.
If the recipient exists in this way, it stands to reason that it should be accessible.
Although he is not a messenger, he doesn't mind helping Yang Jian complete this messenger mission as soon as possible, and then leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
"Zhou Deng, you are taking too many risks." Li Yang said hurriedly.
"If nothing happens, I won't die that easily." Zhou Deng said, he was still so bold and unscrupulous.
He walked towards the direction where the footsteps came from.
However.
Something incomprehensible happened. Even if Zhou Deng opened his arms and tried to touch the invisible ghost, he felt like he was touching the air and didn't touch anything.
"There's no way to touch it."
Zhou Deng shrugged and expressed his helplessness: "Now it's your turn to have a headache. The recipient has indeed appeared, but this thing can't be seen or touched, it can only be heard. I really don't know how you should send this letter."
, Fortunately, this thing doesn’t seem to be a threat, and it hasn’t attacked me yet.”
His testing this time revealed a lot of things, and it was not meaningless.
So the remaining people can basically confirm three pieces of information.
The recipient has indeed entered the ancient house and is still staying in the ancient house.
The recipient cannot be seen, cannot be touched, only heard.
You must find a way to contact the recipient before you can send this red letter.
“I didn’t expect this to happen on the last day of delivering letters.”
Liu Qingqing frowned: "Although there is no danger, there is no way to send the letter easily, and the recipient may leave at any time. If we can't think of a way before he leaves, this letter delivery mission will be
Failed."
"Captain, what should we do in this situation?" Li Yang looked at Yang Jian and asked for his opinion.
Yang Jian said: "The reason why the recipient is invisible is not because it does not exist, but because there is a lack of method. Maybe the recipient is not in the same time period as us, maybe there is a lack of some kind of connecting medium, or something needs to be used
Only in this way can the recipient show up."
"Methods need to be tried one by one until they succeed."
As he spoke, the footsteps were still echoing in the lobby. At this time, the voice changed a little, and a heavy sigh came from the empty lobby.
It seems that after entering the ancient house, the recipient saw the changes in the ancient house, and was nostalgic and emotional.
The sound was very close, right in the middle of the old house, only about one or two meters away from them.
But even within a few meters, they couldn't see the recipient.
"We have to think of a way quickly. I don't think the recipient will stay in this ancient house for too long." Yang Xiaohua felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.
She was worried that the delivery task would fail after the recipient left after a while.
"Don't rush me, I'm thinking of a way." Li Yang shouted in a low voice.
They were all thinking, trying to come up with a good idea to complete this letter delivery mission.
"Is ghost interference useful?"
Yang Jian also immediately made a try. Yang Xiaohua was right, the letter must be delivered before the recipient leaves, otherwise the letter delivery mission will be a failure.
next moment.
Yang Jian's ghost realm is opened layer by layer, one after another.
It opens from the first level of ghost realm to the sixth level of ghost realm.
However, the result is.
The recipient cannot be seen in the ghost realm.
That thing is just like a video from the past, leaving a sound behind, and it doesn't really exist.
"It's not a ghost domain, so there are only two possibilities. Either the recipient is unable to send the letter because I restarted the ancient house before and interfered with the time of the ancient house, or the recipient needs to use a medium and can be contacted through the medium.
To the devil."
"The only thing here that can connect the old houses to new ones and the old houses to decay is the same thing."
Yang Jian looked at the four black Taishi chairs placed in the middle of the lobby.
These four chairs are the witnesses to the rise and fall of this ancient house.
Moreover, Zhou Deng has also studied it before. This chair is indeed very special. It has some weird abilities that need to be excavated and discovered.
With the idea of giving it a try, he immediately sat on the black Taishi chair to see if it would work.
But it's a pity.
It has no effect.
It's just an ordinary chair when you sit on it, nothing special about it.
"It's useless. I tried it before, and everything works fine when you sit on the chair." Zhou Deng said, "It's not just the chair you're sitting on, I've tried several other chairs."
"Listen, the recipient's footsteps are moving away..." Yang Xiaohua said in surprise.
The footsteps in the lobby sounded again, seeming to be leaving, heading towards the patio.
"As soon as the recipient leaves, the delivery fails, and the curse of the post office comes, we are also doomed." Liu Qingqing followed quickly on her high heels, and she also tried to touch the invisible recipient.
But it's also useless.
No one can touch that person, they can only listen to the footsteps fading away.
"If you can't touch it, it means you can't stop it. There's nothing you can do about this damn thing." Li Yang said with a sullen face: "Method is the most important thing. Your behavior is meaningless."
“Always have to try.”
Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said: "The task of delivering the letter is almost completed. It would be a pity if something went wrong at this time."
"The black chair is key."
Yang Jian's eyes flickered: "Do you still remember what happened when the evil ghosts invaded the ancient house during the night watch? There were evil ghosts pushing the black Taishi chair. This black Taishi chair can stop the invisible evil ghosts."
"The black Taishi chair is the medium. If you want to stop the recipient from leaving, the only chance is to use the black Taishi chair."
"Four chairs are placed in the four directions, just enough to leave a place for one person to stand. They can trap a person or a ghost in the middle."
"The post office told us to deliver the red letter before the recipient left, but it didn't say we couldn't keep the recipient."
