This means that the task of the post office has begun. The messenger on the fourth floor will live here for seven days. Now is the first day, and it has just begun.
There was silence in the oppressive, dark old house.
The other ghost masters who followed Yang Jian here also made no movement. Although they are rampant, they are not without brains.
There is obviously something wrong with this ancient house, and no one dares to mess around until the situation is confirmed, so they will choose a safer place to stay.
There was no one in the lobby at the moment, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Only a skinny old man's body was left sitting on a black Taishi chair, with his eyes closed and his face expressionless. A pair of cold dead feet fell to the ground, covered with corpse spots.
.
Although there is a coffin placed at the back of the lobby.
But at this time, no one dared to bury the old man, and no one even dared to approach the body. They could only let the dead body stay here quietly.
The dead body seems to have become a taboo, everyone dares to touch it.
Even Zhou Deng shook his head and left after observing for a while. He felt that the clothes on the corpse were not worth much and were probably not supernatural items, so he had no idea.
Outside the old house.
Waves of cold wind blew, and the two large lanterns hanging on the door swayed slightly.
No one noticed that at this moment, the two lanterns on the door had changed from bright red to pale white. At the same time, a dark word "Dian" was written on the lanterns. There was light inside the lanterns, but there was no light.
The color is pale and very strange. These two lanterns are like attracting the souls of the dead. They are particularly eye-catching in this dark and depressing world.
The old forest nearby was rustling at the moment.
The breeze blew the tree trunks and shook the entire forest.
There are no people in the woods.
A man named Wanzhou and two other ghost masters were still lingering in this old forest. They gathered together, and their faces seemed not good, nervous and uneasy.
Because they are lost.
Lost in this old forest.
The reason for this was that they had seen the supernatural bus suddenly restarting and wanted to rush out of the old forest as quickly as possible and rush to the bus, so they did not move forward along the winding path.
Because this will waste a lot of time.
So they chose to take a shortcut.
The idea was not wrong, but who knew that when they left the path and entered the old forest, they found something was wrong.
There was no way to walk out of the originally small old forest, and even if we turned back, we could no longer find the previous trail.
Going around in circles.
Wanzhou and the other two ghost masters were completely lost in this place, unable to leave or go back.
"This old forest is not as simple as it seemed before. This is not a forest. It is clearly a ghost domain. Don't waste time. If it is really a ghost domain, then unless we find the source of the supernatural in this old forest, and
Solve it, otherwise, we will be trapped here alive."
Wan Xing's face turned pale.
He missed the start of the bus and separated from the others and did not go to the ancient house.
After going around and around, I ended up trapped in such a ghost place.
The three of them seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world. There was only deathly silence and indescribable weirdness here.
"This forest looks small, but once you get lost, it seems boundless. It would be difficult to find the source of the supernatural in this place," another person said.
"If we can't find it, we will all die here. We have already missed the bus. If we continue to waste it, we won't even be able to go to the ancient house." Wanzhou said.
There is no way to leave now, I can only find a way to find the path, and then go to the ancient house.
"Indeed, that Yang Jian must have a way to leave. He didn't get on the bus to suppress the resurrection of the ghost. He came specifically for this ancient house. Since he dared to come, he must have been prepared. Others were watching
At this point, I dared to follow all the way."
"It's a pity that I made the wrong choice before. I thought I could return to the bus smoothly by following you, but I didn't know that you took me the wrong way and ended up like this."
Another ghost controller blamed Wanzhou very much.
Thinking that everything was his fault, if he hadn't taken shortcuts, this would never have happened.
Wanzhou said: "Does it make sense to say this now? Do you think I don't want to return to the bus? I don't think there will be any accidents on this short journey. Who knew it would be like this? And judging from the situation just now, the supernatural bus will start
I may drive away at any time after that, and I won’t be able to get in the car for a second at night.”
"I would rather fight for a second than gamble for a point. Don't you understand this principle?"
"The more critical you are at this critical moment, the more cautious you must be. How can you be careless when it comes to life and death?" the ghost controller said again.
However, the person next to him advised: "Don't say a few words. Now we should work together to overcome this crisis. And haven't you noticed? It seems that after twelve o'clock, this old forest becomes more and more weird. It seems that there are
What a weird movement."
"I also feel that something is not right. Don't stay here, go over there and have a look." Wanzhou also felt inexplicably frightened.
He didn't want to waste time standing here, so he took action immediately.
The three people put aside their disputes at this moment, united and began to think about how to survive.
They are all ghost masters. Although they are a little mentally unstable, they are at least sane and sober.
However, the three people walked forward and soon stopped, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Because opposite them, three figures also appeared. Because the woods were dark, it was impossible to see clearly from a distance. They only knew that they were three black blurry outlines, but it was certain that those three blurry outlines were facing towards them.
They were approaching here, and they were walking at the same pace, with no intention of stopping in the middle.
"There's absolutely no way it's a living person."
Such an idea immediately appeared in the minds of the three people.
Then the three of them looked at each other.
Walk!
Before the three strange figures in the distance approached, they immediately turned around and left without any hesitation.
Although they are ghost controllers, their strength is limited. If they encounter a ghost, they can still give it a try, but now they are suspected of being approached by three ghosts. If they don't run away, they are waiting for death.
However, they turned around and ran not far before they stopped again and their eyes suddenly shrank.
The blurry black figure in the distance appeared in the old forest again. This time the figure did not move, but stood there quietly.
But this time the number seems to be a bit too much, the black humanoid shadow outlines actually reached an astonishing six.
Six strange figures were scattered in front.
"Change another direction." Wanzhou's forehead instantly covered with cold sweat.
The other two people also felt terrified. Even if the six figures didn't move, they could still stop in their tracks.
Look back.
The other three figures were wandering in the old forest and approaching quickly.
Gritting his teeth.
Not daring to stay in Wanzhou, a few people continued to flee in another direction.
"Maybe the figures just now are ghost slaves, not real ghosts. Maybe we are too cautious. Even if there are weird things in this forest, there are not so many ghosts." As they were escaping, a person on the left said.
"This is the truth, but who the hell dares to gamble? We are all people who are about to recover from the ghost ghost. We are relying on the bus to extend our lives. Once we encounter the real ghost, we simply can't afford it." Wanzhou side.
He ran and wanted to curse someone.
What a bad luck.
How could such a good person enter such a sinister place?
"Look ahead."
Suddenly, the three people stopped again.
Strange figures appeared again in the old forest in front of them. These figures had their backs to them and were leaning against a tree. They were also motionless.
No.
It's not that there's no movement.
The ghost figure leaning behind the tree seemed to have discovered Wanzhou and the three of them. They all twisted their necks strangely and looked behind them...
Lifeless, cold heads poked out from behind the trees.
One after another, so densely packed that it was hard to count how many heads poked out in an instant, as if there was something behind every tree, or perhaps each tree represented a ghost.
A cold wind blew.
The three people, who were covered in cold sweat, felt as if they had entered an ice cellar.
This is not an old forest... This is simply a ghost forest.
No wonder.
No wonder when I escaped here before, the ghosts in the bus chased me and I didn't dare to set foot in this place.
Because the danger here is ten times more dangerous than on the bus.
"It's over."
The three of them were in despair at this moment.
They no longer struggled to escape because there was no way to go. The woods had not yet found a way out. They were surrounded by ghosts and it was impossible to leave alive.
The terrifying ghost figure appeared from behind the tree and walked towards the three people.
in all directions.
Keep emerging.
soon.
The three people let out several desperate screams before they died, and then everything became calm again.
The strange figure in the forest gradually disappeared again, seeming to be hidden, and here was a normal old forest again.
But what no one noticed was that there were three more trees on the periphery of this forest, which slightly increased the area of this small forest. Moreover, these three trees were slightly immature and seemed to have just grown.
After a while, the color was not as dark as other trees, and turned slightly white, which was more obvious from a distance.
A gust of cold wind blew.
These three trees swayed together with the other old trees, making a rustling sound.
Yang Jian didn't know what happened here.
He stayed in the third room of the ancient house, guarding the door and waiting for time to pass.
The night in the ancient house was very peaceful. At least the other ghost masters did not make any noise. This is good news, because if other ghost masters encounter any unexpected events, they will definitely make a noise, so that others will
Be aware of it, but not
There is no need to take precautions when danger comes.
Yang Jian was very awake at the moment, with three things on his mind.
The locked room next door, the old man's dead body in the lobby, and the red coffin behind the lobby.
"I am somewhat careful about the room and the corpse, but what does the red coffin behind the lobby mean?" Yang Jian thought to himself.
It's not like he has never seen such a supernatural thing as a coffin.
At first, Guizhan was a powerful ghost that was born from a ghost coffin. It was extremely terrifying, but... the coffin that gave birth to Guizhan was black, but this coffin is red.
"In the folk, the black coffin has another meaning, which means that the person in the coffin died suddenly. The red coffin represents the end of life and joy and mourning. Although it is just a way of saying it, many things in the past are more similar.
It is very particular and taboo, and the choice of color cannot be made casually.”
"Assuming that the person who imprisoned the ghosts for the first time was an older generation of ghost masters, then he chose the color of the black coffin, which indirectly indicates that the things in the coffin are dangerous. By the same token, the appearance of the red coffin
It means that the old man in the lobby died a worthy death."
Many memories and knowledge of his own emerged in Yang Jian's mind.
They are all trivial matters among the people, and I don’t know which person’s memory the ghost has read.
"The first seven days represent the day of rebirth. Some people infer that the old man in the lobby will be resurrected as a ghost on the first seven days. This is very reasonable. Therefore, the first seven days will be the most ferocious day in the ancient house. Maybe the group will be destroyed here.
Everyone, even me."
"The letter is not necessarily sent to this old man. Although on the surface it is only the old man's body that can receive the letter, there may be something unclean in the locked room next door, and there will also be a supernatural bus seven days later.
If we pass by here again, there might be some evil ghosts getting off the bus."
"So I'm sure that what the post office really wants the courier to do is not who to deliver the letter to, but how the courier survives these seven days."
"The first day has already begun. There will definitely be dangers in this ancient house. It is absolutely impossible for the post office to let us get through the first day safely."
Yang Jian is thinking carefully and analyzing the information.
At this moment, something happened inside the ancient house.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
The sound came from outside the ancient house, and it seemed like someone was banging on the heavy door of the ancient house.
The sound is not loud, but it is particularly obvious in the quiet night.
"Is someone knocking on the door?"
A moment.
In the room, Ying Ying, Wang Feng, Da Qiang, Yang Xiaohua, and even Li Yang all opened their eyes.
It's impossible to sleep in this kind of environment. I just take a nap as much as possible to regain my strength and energy, so I can wake up if there is any disturbance.
"Knocking on the door again?" Yang Jian's face darkened.
There are two things he hates the most in his life. One is when someone knocks on the door for no reason and doesn't say anything, and the other is when it rains.
"Who, who's knocking on the door outside?" Someone shouted, and that voice was Zhou Deng.
This guy is quite brave.
However, no one responded outside the old house. They were still banging on the door, and the sound was very urgent.
"One, two, four, six... at least six hands are banging on the door at this frequency."
Yang Jian listened to the voice and recognized the situation.
"Could it be Wanzhou and the others who left the team before?" Li Yang whispered.
He remembered that there were several people waiting outside for the bus to restart, but they did not follow.
"I'll go out and take a look. You guys are right here. Unless I come over, no one should open the door." Yang Jian felt that he couldn't sit here and do nothing, so he immediately opened the door and left while holding the cracked spear.
Got out.
After turning a corner, we arrived at the lobby.
He saw Zhou Deng and several ghost masters who came out after hearing the sound.
At this moment, everyone was standing in the lobby without talking, looking at the dead old man's body on the black Taishi chair in the middle of the lobby.
"Did any of you touch this body?" Zhou Deng was silent for a moment and asked.
At this moment, the old man's dead body unexpectedly changed its position. It was originally sitting on the Taishi chair on the left, but it was moved to sit on the right.
The posture is exactly the same, there is no change, the only change is the orientation.
"There was no one in the lobby just now. I had been paying attention to the situation outside in the first room, and who would be bored to play such a prank and move the body of this old thing." Fan Xing said with a serious face.
Outside the ancient house, the rapid and continuous knocking on the door became louder and louder.
A chill gradually arose in everyone's hearts.
"I remember that the door outside the ancient house was not closed..."
I don’t know who said this out of the blue.
Everyone else turned around and looked back when they heard this, but their sight was blocked by a wall and they couldn't see what was happening in the front yard.
