On the fourth floor of the ghost post office, the time is just under 6:35.
It had only been a little more than half an hour since the lights were turned off, but the supposedly safe room 402 had already been invaded by supernatural beings. There were more than one signs of terrifying ghost invasions, including the toilet, the room, and the dead body hanging in mid-air at the front door...
.In total, there are three places.
When this danger came, Yang Jian did not choose to stay in the room to fight against the coming ghost. Instead, he took the initiative to open the door and walked out.
The seemingly safe room was abandoned by Yang Jian. Not only that, he also brought Li Yang and others out.
Even Liu Qingqing and Yingying finally chose to believe Yang Jian and followed him out.
It was pitch dark outside the corridor.
At the same time, there was the sound of rapid footsteps from another direction.
The footsteps were dull, as if someone was running over there quickly. This sound made people feel creepy, because it was impossible for anyone alive to stay outside this dark corridor.
This is another fierce ghost that keeps getting closer.
Yang Jian peered with ghost eyes, and he only heard the sound of footsteps, but did not see the ghost's figure.
But he clearly saw a series of footprints remaining on the ground. The footprints were stained with soil and were extremely clear. You could even see the texture of the footprints.
"Go this way." Yang Jian didn't want to get close to the hurried footsteps, but chose to walk to the other side.
Li Yang heard the sound and followed behind. He couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly. He could only hear the sound coming from in front of Yang Jian, and a lingering red light in the darkness.
That red light is emitted by the ghost eyes.
The corridors were interconnected. Yang Jian didn't go very far. He just stopped when he was near room 401.
Yang Xiaohua followed closely behind her, and her pace was also very fast. Because she couldn't see clearly, she bumped into Li Yang in front.
"Okay, you don't have to go forward, stop." Li Yang said.
Yang Xiaohua trembled all over, and she stopped in a hurry: "Aren't we going to move to another room?"
She guessed that Yang Jian's behavior was to give up room 402 and stay in another room.
"Captain has stopped. If you want to live, don't ask so many questions why." Li Yang said in a deep voice.
Yang Xiaohua's heart trembled. Although she was frightened at the moment, she still stopped and stopped walking forward.
She reached out and touched the wall next to her, fear gradually welling up in her heart.
Because she couldn't see Li Yang or Yang Jian in front of her, she could only hear sounds, and she didn't even know what was around her.
This feeling of being swallowed up by darkness makes people extremely trembling.
"who?"
Sudden.
Yang Xiaohua heard movement behind her again, as if someone was constantly approaching.
"It's me, Wang Shan, I ran out too."
Wang Shan also touched the wall and followed. He was as scared and uneasy as Yang Xiaohua. He didn't know whether this choice was right or wrong, and he was afraid of getting lost in the darkness.
"Yang Jian stopped. It seemed that he planned to stay in the corridor. This behavior was very strange." Although Yang Xiaohua was frightened, she did not lose her mind. She remained calm.
After all, he is also a messenger and has experienced supernatural events.
"We have no choice. If the ghost enters the room, without Yang Jian's protection, we will definitely die. It may be better after we come out." Wang Shan was silent for a moment and said through gritted teeth.
"That's right, so I chose to follow Yang Jian." Yang Xiaohua echoed in the darkness, while stabilizing her mentality and preventing herself from panicking.
At the very back.
Yingying and Liu Qingqing also went out quickly. They avoided the cold dead body hanging at the door of the room, and then quickly followed the pace of the others. But as soon as they left, the two of them heard a quick step.
The sound approached quickly from the other side of the corridor.
Thanks to the dim yellow light in the room, the eagle even caught a glimpse of the muddy footprints that suddenly appeared on the ground.
At this moment, the ashes scattered at the door had a certain effect. The front footprints seemed to have stepped on the white ashes, and half of them disappeared strangely, leaving only a back heel.
The footprints on the forefoot are gone.
It didn't show up on the ashes either, it seemed to be offset by the supernatural power on the ashes.
The rapid pace was actually stopped at this moment.
ghost.
Stopped progress.
But this situation did not last long, and the footprints appeared again.
A pair of complete footprints suddenly appeared at the door of Room 402.
These were the last footprints, and no new footprints appeared nearby.
It seems that these footprints are the ghost's last footprints.
The ghost lingered at the door of Room 402, neither entering nor leaving, as if standing there motionless.
But no one can see ghosts.
Even Yang Jian's ghost eyes couldn't peep into it.
"Almost..."
The eagle breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, feeling that it was safe.
If he had walked two seconds later, he would have bumped into the muddy footprints on the ground.
I'm afraid I'll be killed by that ghost by then.
But I just passed by the evil ghost.
This feeling is really frightening.
After everyone left, a strange shadow appeared in the room.
The dead body hanging in the air had entered the room at some point and hung on the light bulb in the living room.
The corpse blocked most of the lights, making the room dark and terrifying.
The stiff, cold corpse was swaying slightly in the room, as if it had hanged itself.
"Crunch!"
At the same time, the bedroom door also made strange noises. It was sometimes opened and sometimes closed again, repeating this action over and over again.
There was no movement in the toilet, and the sound of hitting the wall was gone. It seemed that the evil ghost had stopped moving.
But what is certain is that the ghost has broken through the wall and entered the toilet.
The toilet is also an extremely dangerous place.
Yang Jian's choice seemed to be correct. He successfully avoided the encirclement of four ghosts by leaving this time. If they stayed in the room now, many people would be killed by the ghosts.
"Didn't you follow me?" He squinted his eyes and stared at the door of Room 402.
The dead body hanging above the door did not wander over.
The footprints at the door did not follow.
This phenomenon is enough to prove that my calculation is correct.
"Li Yang, light the ghost candle and gather people together to avoid getting lost." Yang Jian ordered at this moment.
"Now?" Li Yang was a little surprised.
Do you need to use ghost candles so casually?
Yang Jian said: "Yes, don't be stingy. Use these consumable supernatural items when they should be used to ensure safety and condition."
Li Yang, who was in the darkness, stopped delaying after hearing this and immediately lit the red ghost candle.
When the red ghost candle is lit, it immediately emits a spooky green candle light. This light is very similar to Li Jun's ghost domain, and to some extent it is similar.
As soon as the ghost candle's light appeared, the nearby darkness immediately receded like a tide.
The cold, depressing feeling immediately disappeared.
"This burning speed seems to be okay." Li Yang glanced at the ghost candle in his hand and found that the burning speed was not very fast. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not be a problem to burn it for half an hour.
As soon as the light appeared, Yang Xiaohua, Wang Shan, and even the eagle and Liu Qingqing behind them immediately felt safe.
They saw Yang Jian and Li Yang surrounding the candlelight and hurriedly approached.
Everyone gathered around the candlelight. Seeing that everyone was still alive, they felt relieved and felt a sense of security.
"What kind of candle is this? It can actually withstand the darkness after the lights are turned off on the fourth floor." The eagle stared at the red candle with burning eyes.
This candle is just like the wedding candles burned for weddings in rural areas, except that the red color is particularly bright, and the candlelight is also extremely strange.
"This is a ghost candle, a supernatural item. Once it is lit, ghosts can avoid being attacked by the candlelight. In other words, the ghost candle will not go out, and the people shrouded in the candlelight are absolutely safe." Li Yang explained.
Although this was his first time using Ghost Candle, he still understood the information about Ghost Candle quite thoroughly.
"Is this thing so useful? Is there no price?" Liu Qingqing asked.
Generally, supernatural items need to pay a price and bear the risk of being corroded by the supernatural.
Li Yang said: "There is no price."
"Such a good thing has no price, so it must be very precious."
Yang Xiaohua stared at the gloomy candle, and at the same time silently leaned towards Yang Jian's position, because she saw that the burning speed of the ghost candle was different from that of the normal candle. It seemed to burn a little faster. She felt that this thing
It won't last long.
So the key is to rely on Yang Jian to survive.
Li Yang said in a stiff tone: "It's more than precious. If such a ghost candle is sold in the market, it will cost at least 100 million."
"This, this is too expensive." Eagle was a little moved when he heard this.
If it were him, with such a ghost candle, he must have sold it, so how could he be willing to light it.
"Ghosts, all of them have entered room 402, and none of them have followed them until now. The burning speed of ghost candles is normal, so my guess is correct." Yang Jian said calmly.
The burning speed of the ghost candle is the strongest evidence.
"You suddenly opened the door and took us all out of the room. You must have discovered something? Can you tell us something?" Eagle was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
Yang Jian said: "It's a lamp. Pay careful attention to the lamp on the fourth floor and the body hanging under the lamp just now."
lamp?
Some of the people looked up, and some looked back at room 402.
"Captain, is there anything wrong with the lamp?" Li Yang asked while holding the ghost candle.
Yang Jian said: "The lights in the corridor of the post office are turned off at six o'clock. After the lights are turned off in the corridor, the lights in the room turn on. This is the same rule from the first floor to the fourth floor, but whether it is the first floor, the second floor, or even the third floor, as long as the room is
When the lights are on, people are in a safe zone if they stay in the room.
"Yes, that's why places with lights are safe." Liu Qingqing said, "Is there anything wrong?"
"The fourth floor is wrong. The corridor is lit during the day and the body is hanging under the light. If the light range is safe, then there is absolutely no way that the body will be hanging under the light bulb. In addition, I just found ghosts around me in the room.
It's getting closer, and I have this reason to draw a conclusion."
"That's the lights out on the fourth floor. The lighting rules have been changed."
"The lights on the fourth floor, instead of protecting the messenger, have a terrifying ability. The lights will attract the surrounding ghosts."
Yang Jian spoke a shocking reality in a calm tone.
Light can attract ghosts!
"This, how is this possible?" Yang Xiaohua exclaimed subconsciously, her face turned pale.
"No, it's not. How could there be such a conjecture? If it is true, then wouldn't it be true that we were in the room just now..." Wang Shan also trembled all over.
If this is true, then they are simply waiting for ghosts to come and kill them by staying in the room.
"How dare you draw conclusions based on just two eyes? And take action?" Liu Qingqing stared at him and said.
Yang Jian said: "Do you still remember that the door of some rooms was covered with black letter paper? The letter paper covered the cracks in the door. I remember that the letter paper has no ability to resist supernatural intrusion."
"Yes, the letter paper can only ignite the road leading to the post office and help the messenger escape from the supernatural place. It has no ability to resist the supernatural." Liu Qingqing nodded.
Yang Jian said; "Then the function of the letter paper is obvious. Black letter paper has good opacity, so the function of the letter paper to cover the door gap is actually very simple, that is, to block the light... It seems that it is not just
I and other couriers have also noticed that there may be a problem with the lighting and have begun to take action in this regard."
"If you are really like this, then aren't the messengers living in the last two rooms of 406 and 407 in danger?" Yingying suddenly woke up, and he felt that Yang Jian's judgment was true.
The lights on the fourth floor may really have the ability to attract ghosts.
"Who knows." Yang Jian looked slightly in that direction.
The doors of rooms 406 and 407 were closed tightly and there was no movement. However, the doors were intact and there were no strange things around them.
Everything seems normal.
But this is the biggest abnormality.
If there are messengers living in other rooms, it is impossible not to make some preparations.
Moreover, all the ghosts came to room 402 just now, but did not go to those two rooms. This already seemed wrong.
"I guess there should be no one in those two rooms. They are empty. The real messenger should have sneaked into other rooms to hide. There are seven rooms here, excluding three rooms 402, 406, and 407, and there are four more rooms.
There are options available.”
"But aren't there ghosts in other rooms?" Yang Xiaohua said.
Yang Jian said: "The presence of ghosts means danger? Don't forget, ghosts are not active in the post office during the day. You can see that various supernatural phenomena occur after the lights are turned off. This rule on the fourth floor has not changed."
The silent room 401.
Room 404 is missing a door.
Room 403 is covered with black letter paper.
And Room 405, which has mud footprints at the door.
These four rooms may seem strange, but they are actually places where you can hide temporarily.
The more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
"Captain, the burning speed of this ghost candle is getting worse and worse." Suddenly, Li Yang, who had been paying attention to the ghost candle in his hand, said hurriedly.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
But he found that the ghost candle in Li Yang's hand was burning and shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If it continues like this, let alone half an hour, it will be considered as if it can last for five minutes.
"A ghost is coming."
Yang Jian's face darkened: "This kind of burning speed is not ordinary ghosts. Under this situation, if there are other ghosts in the post office, then there is only one possibility..."
"The ghost who opened the door and wandered around the post office at night appeared."
At this moment, he peered around with ghostly eyes and found that an unknown step suddenly appeared on the wall not far from the corridor.
A strange figure slowly walked down the steps.
It was a figure wearing a black cloth shirt and black cloth shoes. He was skinny and his face was turned sideways. His appearance was unclear, but it gave the impression that he was like a corpse crawling out of a coffin.
"After extinguishing the ghost candles, there is no need to waste them. Stand against the wall and don't block the way of that thing." Yang Jian immediately opened his mouth and blew out the ghost candles.
The gloomy will-o'-the-wisp suddenly went out, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
But at the last moment when the lights were turned off, everyone was horrified to see that the terrifying ghost changed its direction and walked towards this direction.
Isn't it?
Why do you have to go to your side? Can't you turn to the other side?
However, this idea is very ridiculous.
This is a corridor with a cross-section. No matter where the ghost comes from, he will definitely pass by. This is an unavoidable reality.
The layout of the fourth floor is back to the same as on the second floor, with a patio in the middle and no platform like the third floor.
So there is nowhere to go.
"I might be able to solve it." Yang Jian's ghost eyes flashed red at this moment.
Facing the fierce ghost coming towards him, he had the urge to take action.
