Yang Jian was surprised when he heard the news about Sun Rui. The ghost post office was suspected to be out of control?
Although he had speculated on this possibility before, the ghost post office had been operating for at least several decades, so this sudden loss of control was somewhat unreasonable.
No.
Maybe the loss of control has already occurred, not now, but more than half a year ago, after the old man from the Republic of China fell from the ghost post office and died.
"How are you sure that the ghost post office is out of control?" Yang Jian looked at Sun Rui, hoping to get some important information.
Sun Rui said: "During the time you left, two things happened in the ghost post office. The first thing is that the fourth floor of the ghost post office is suspected to have been invaded by ghosts. A messenger on the fourth floor of a letter delivery mission
The team was wiped out, and the second thing was that the messenger on the fifth floor completely lost contact. A messenger on the fourth floor told me that he found the body of the messenger on the fifth floor in the ghost post office."
"Beyond that, all connections between the fourth and fifth floors are lost."
"And at night, the danger level inside the post office increased sharply. There was already more than one ghost wandering around the post office. I was attacked by a ghost. If it weren't for this oil lamp, I wouldn't be able to survive now."
Yang Jian's face darkened after hearing this.
It stands to reason that the messenger will only die during the task of delivering the letter, or be cursed after tearing up the letter.
It is almost impossible for a messenger to be killed in a ghost post office for no reason.
The post office is a kind of protection to the courier to some extent.
By protecting the messenger, you can escape from the supernatural place and isolate yourself from other ghosts. Moreover, as long as you do not break some rules in the ghost post office, the messenger room on each floor is very safe.
But if this balance is broken, then the ghost post office will become very scary as Sun Rui said.
"So the task of delivering letters is no longer meaningful?" Yang Jian said.
Sun Rui said: "Although the ghost post office is out of control, certain rules are still in operation. This place is scarier than imagined. Rather than taking huge risks to eliminate it, it is better to find a way to get the ghost post office back on track.
Come on, you also know that the ghost post office has always existed before, but it has started to have problems recently."
"What does this mean? It means that the Ghost Post Office was controlled by someone before, but something went wrong with the person who controlled it. He may have died, and then the place became extremely dangerous."
"I suggest that we find a way to control this ghost post office as quickly as possible, otherwise the evil ghosts in the post office will wander into Dahan City, and then it will be more than just a supernatural event."
"We haven't even figured out the situation inside the ghost post office. It's too difficult to control the ghost post office." Li Yang shook his head, saying that this was unrealistic.
Yang Jian was silent for a moment, thinking of the ghost knocking on the door.
If the knocker is really controlling the ghost post office, then there may be a way to find the place where the knocker stayed before his death.
"Controlling the ghost post office is a once-and-for-all method. We can't imagine how many supernatural beings are involved in this building. It's much easier to find balance than to completely destroy it." Sun Rui said: "And I can't hold on for long. If a newcomer
Once you enter the ghost post office, the situation will become even more dangerous than before."
"The ghosts inside the post office are likely to be taken outside by newcomers."
Yang Jian said: "If you want to know more about the situation, you must go to the fifth floor of the post office. Only by seeing the messenger on the fifth floor can you know more secrets. Whether it is to remove the ghost post office or control the ghost post office, it is the same as the last one."
The floors are inseparable, but when you tell me that, I don’t have much confidence in going directly to the fifth floor.”
"Yes, if this place is out of control and you go to the fourth floor, the new message delivery mission will be extremely difficult, and there may even be a fatal message delivery mission." Sun Rui said.
He obtained a lot of information during this period of time.
"Tear up the letter directly?" Yang Jian said.
Sun Rui immediately said: "Captain Yang, you'd better not do this. If the letters on the fourth floor are torn up, ghosts from the whole ghost post office may come out to kill you. By then, there will be no need for the post office to exist, because at that time
It must be completely out of control.”
"That's not true." Li Yang said in surprise.
Sun Rui took a look and said: "The situation will only get worse. Tearing up the letter means that the Ghost Post Office has started the process of erasing the messenger. But Team Yang is too powerful. If you want to erase a character like Yang Dui, the Ghost Post Office is destined to break the balance."
, completely out of control, the supernatural will not only target Captain Yang, but may wipe out the entire post office."
"Under that kind of situation, it's almost impossible to bear it."
After speaking, he glanced at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian also shook his head slightly.
It is no longer advisable to continue to default on bills and tear up letters. If the ghosts in the entire post office really emerge and want to hunt you down, then you have become an alien and cannot resist it.
And even if he could withstand it, he probably wouldn't have the energy to go to the fifth floor.
Therefore, you must not tear up letters on the fourth floor. Even if you want to cheat, you should go to the fifth floor.
"The letter from the fourth floor still needs to be sent, but you said before that a team on the fourth floor was wiped out by the group. Is there still a messenger on the fourth floor now?" Yang Jian asked.
Sun Rui said with certainty: "Yes, there are still messengers on the fourth floor, but there are not many, and there is a ghost on the fourth floor. A messenger on the fourth floor analyzed that it should be someone during a certain letter delivery mission.
It was invaded by ghosts and came to the post office disguised as a messenger. Because of this, there was a problem on the fourth floor."
"The ghost post office seems to want to get rid of the ghost, but the ghost cannot be killed, so..."
Yang directly answered his words: "So, we can only keep increasing the difficulty of sending messages until all the messengers on the fourth floor disappear."
"That's about it, so this is the current situation on the fourth floor, but the most terrible thing is still on the fifth floor. A messenger has died mysteriously on the fifth floor. The specific reason is not yet known." Sun Rui said.
"How long can you last on the first floor?" Yang Jian glanced at him and asked again.
Sun Rui said: "My situation is very special. I entered the ghost post office but was stopped in the process of going to the second floor of the post office. At present, I am neither a messenger on the first floor nor a messenger on the second floor. I am in the middle. This
It’s a loophole in the post office, so I can not deliver the letter and still maintain my identity as a courier, and at the same time I don’t have to worry about being haunted by the ghost post office.”
"The only thing I have to do is survive the twelve hours when the lights are turned off after six o'clock every day. I don't have much oil in my oil lamp, but fortunately I don't encounter danger every day, but recently the footsteps around me have begun to increase at night.
Already."
"This is a gradual increase process. I conservatively estimate that the limit is about ten days."
Yang Jian frowned.
He could see that Sun Rui's condition was already very bad. He controlled two ghosts and relied on this special oil lamp to survive for another ten days.
"What if we add this?" After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian took out a red ghost candle and handed it to him.
"Ghost Candle?"
Sun Rui seemed a little surprised, and then said: "If I save a little of a red ghost candle, it can keep me going for two more days. Danger always appears around twelve o'clock. You can turn off the lights at other times when it is not dangerous.
.”
"Then I will give you this ghost candle. When I get to the fifth floor, you can leave the ghost post office. Don't fight here. Once I get to the fifth floor, I will either remove the ghost post office or control the ghost post office. There will be no second chance.
Three results." Yang Jian said seriously.
"Okay, then I will leave here when you show up next time." Sun Rui forced out a smile. Although it was ugly, he was obviously relieved.
Although he was prepared to die here, he was not willing to die like this if he had a chance to survive.
"Then it's settled." Yang Jian said.
Sun Rui nodded and accepted the red ghost candle.
At this moment, the door of the ghost post office opened again, and two people entered the ghost post office.
A young man and a slightly petite woman in her twenties.
Wang Shan, Yang Xiaohua.
These are the two people who survived the last letter delivery mission.
Wang Shan is the messenger on the first floor and has followed Yang Jian until now. Yang Xiaohua is the messenger on the second floor and survived the last 301 incident.
In addition, there is a woman named Liu Qingqing.
That woman is suspected to have become a ghost master and a messenger on the third floor.
In this way, apart from Yang Jian and Li Yang, only one person survived on the first, second and third floors.
Now, they gathered together, and it was obvious that the road to the post office appeared, and they wanted to go to the fourth floor like Yang Jian.
"Yang Jian." Wang Shan greeted, looking a little enthusiastic.
He was the luckiest. He successfully survived the supernatural events in City 301 while drinking beer and eating snacks at home.
"Yang Jian, Li Yang."
Yang Xiaohua also said hello. She pulled her hair up, put on light makeup, and looked very bad. It was obvious that she had not been having a good time during this period.
Yang Jian nodded as a greeting.
"Don't waste time, go to the fourth floor and take a look."
"You make the decision, I'll listen to you." Wang Shan smiled and made up his mind to continue hugging his thigh.
Yang Xiaohua took the initiative to walk over, and then looked at Yang Jian with some suspicion: "I went to Dachang City during this period, why can't I find any relevant information about you? I feel that you are not from Dachang City at all.
, all the information about you has been erased, and only a person named A Wei was found."
Before Yang Jian could speak, Li Yang on the side sneered: "You are just a lawyer, and you want to check the information of our captain when you go out of town. Do you think you are an agent? The files of people like us are highly confidential. You
If we find out, then everyone from the Ministry of Information should be shot."
"The process is not important, the result is the most important. Are you looking for my information because you want to take refuge in me?" Yang Jian asked as he walked.
Yang Xiaohua's eyes moved: "Survival is the most important thing. If you can get me out of the post office, I can do whatever you want."
"Me too." Wang Shan added hastily.
Yang Jian said calmly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to survive the letter delivery mission on the fourth floor. If the rules of the post office are more complete, there will definitely be corresponding rules for people like you who sneak upstairs."
"And among supernatural events, human life is the least valuable."
Yang Xiaohua said: "I have already written my suicide note, but I still want to struggle. I have reached the fourth floor. I am not willing to die like this. You promised me before that you would take me out of the ghost post office alive."
"What happened last time? It did happen, but do you remember the price?" Yang Jian looked at her and said.
Yang Xiaohua bit her lip slightly and said, "The price is myself. You can treat me as an employee or as a woman. It depends on how happy you are."
"Me too..." Wang Shan wanted to add something, but kept his mouth shut.
This is really not possible.
Yang Jian said, "That's true, but you don't seem to do it this way."
"I went to Dachang City, but I didn't get your information. I thought you were lying to me. You only needed me temporarily as cannon fodder, and then threw it away after using it. I was lucky enough to survive last time, but you didn't at all.
I want to fulfill my promise, otherwise you won’t deceive me with false information.”
"Don't look so aggrieved. Just like Li Yang said, you can't find my information. It's not that I lied to you. Don't think of yourself as too precious."
Yang Jian said indifferently: "No one will remember where they threw a weed after pulling it out."
weed?
Wang Shan looked at Yang Xiaohua.
It turns out that this is how Yang Jian views her, no wonder it is like this.
"The fourth floor is almost here." Li Yang reminded at this time.
The wooden stairs went straight up, and the surroundings seemed to be filled with fog. The haze was thick and thick, covering the road in front and the road behind.
There was an indescribable strange aura in the air.
At the end of the road is a vaguely one-story building.
It's an old zigzag style building with several rooms around it, and the outline of everything gradually becomes clearer.
After walking up the last wooden steps, we arrived at the fourth floor of the Ghost Post Office.
But we just arrived.
Yang Jian saw a special scene.
A male corpse was hanging from a yellow chandelier in the middle of the corridor.
The body swayed slightly and the lights flickered, as if it had been hanging there for a long time.
Because the skin of the corpse was somewhat dry, wrinkled, and appeared dark and sallow.
"A person was hanged?" Li Yang opened his eyes wide: "This is not realistic. If the body was left in the corridor, it would have disappeared the next day. It cannot be preserved forever."
"Normal corpses will be cleaned up by the post office, but what if there are things that cannot be cleaned up?" Yang Jian squinted his eyes, peeping with ghost eyes, and tried to walk over to see what happened.
An incomprehensible situation occurred.
When he walked around, the body also turned slightly, leaving only a curved back for him and unable to see the front face.
Li Yang also discovered this. When he looked from the other side, he couldn't see the front face. The body turned slightly in his sight, but it was still just a back figure.
"Captain, I can't see the front either."
Yang Jian said: "Then it's not a matter of angle, but a supernatural phenomenon. Even if four people stand in four different directions and look at the dead body, they should see the back. It's interesting. The fourth floor of the ghost post office is already like this.
Is it dangerous? Supernatural phenomena have become a norm."
Take a look around.
He found that something was indeed wrong here. There were pieces of black letter paper taped to the door of one room. The letter paper was covered with glue and tightly covered the cracks in the door, as if to resist the intrusion of something.
Some rooms don't even have doors. They seem to have been demolished. The rooms are so dark that nothing can be seen.
There are also corridors that are covered with footprints in the soil. The footprints seem to appear out of thin air. They have no starting point and no end. They are very messy and only appear in one area.
Finally, Yang Jian saw that the door of a room was gray-white and seemed to be sprinkled with lime.
But if you look carefully, you will find that it is not lime at all, but ashes.
Some kind of supernatural ashes with unknown abilities.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound at all, only the occasional flicker of a light bulb.
The flickering light came from the lamp hanging a dried corpse.
"The fourth floor of this ghost post office is really scary." Wang Shan was frightened. He felt like he had arrived at a supernatural and terrifying place of death.
It's obvious that something terrible is happening in front of every door here.
Those weird traces are all man-made, and they are obviously using various means to fight against the supernatural.
As for whether the confrontation has been successful, it is unknown.
But from the corpse hanging under the light bulb, it can be seen that the danger here is unimaginable.
"This letter delivery mission is very critical. Since the road to the post office appears in front of us, it must be involved in our letter delivery mission. However, we should have arrived early. Under normal circumstances, the letter will be delivered tomorrow morning after lights out.
Will appear, what time is it now?”
Yang Jian was calm and unmoved.
"Already, it's five forty." Yang Xiaohua said with a bit of trembling.
Everyone knows that lights go out at six o'clock and that the post office is haunted by ghosts.
"You must enter the room within twenty minutes, otherwise it will be dangerous after the lights are turned off." Li Yang stared at the door numbers.
401, 402, 403...it seems like we should choose a better room.
No.
You have to choose a room that looks relatively safe.
"How about the captain's room?" Li Yang pointed to the room whose door was covered with black letter paper.
Wang Shan nodded and said: "The room was sealed with letter paper, which shows that someone once lived there and it may be safe."
Yang Jian squinted his eyes and took a look: "The letter is sealed outside the door. If a normal person stays in the room, the letter should be posted behind the door, not in front of the door."
"You mean, sealing the door with letter paper may not be to protect the room, but to prevent things in the room from coming out?" Wang Shan's heart trembled, and he came up with such a terrifying conjecture.
yes.
He almost forgot such a possibility.
There might be a ghost in that room, so the messenger on the fourth floor sealed the door to keep the ghost in the room.
"How about that room? Although there are mud footprints wandering in the corridor, there don't seem to be any in the room." Li Yang asked again.
Yang Jian frowned: "The presence of mud footprints means that the ghost has been wandering in that place for a certain period of time. It doesn't matter whether the room is safe or not. What is important is why the ghost only wanders in that place? Even if the room is safe, it can easily be
The devil is watching."
"Go to room 402, the white door covered with ashes."
