The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed particularly eerie and terrifying in this place surrounded by blue-black mist.
Sometimes fear comes from the unknown and the hints people have about themselves in their own hearts. This is the reason why many people fear the unknown.
But in the eyes of some people, all fear comes from their own lack of firepower. For example, Lin Qian, he always thought that he couldn't defeat the Cunning Bride because he was not strong enough.
If he were strong enough, he wouldn't be able to trick the bride at all...
This is the deepest thought in Lin Qian's heart. This is actually just farting. According to Lin Qian's relationship with the Cunning Bride, if he is more capable than the Cunning Bride, then he will be a ghost.
At this moment, Lin Yue'er was in the first situation. She looked behind her uneasily. The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her. There was a ghost post office in front of her, but she didn't dare to go in. She was afraid that she would die faster if she went in.
Lin Yue'er's eyes were filled with deep fear. The surrounding environment made her panic, but thinking of her brother's words, she did not dare to move.
For a moment, she was at a loss. Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't go ahead. She wouldn't experience the dangers she could see. She had already died once and didn't want to die a second time.
Second-rate.
But now the footsteps are getting closer and closer, her heartbeat is getting faster and faster, and the fear of the unknown is getting deeper and deeper.
The dull footsteps seemed to appear in her heart, squeezing her weak and fragile heart.
Under this kind of fear from the soul, Lin Yue'er finally couldn't hold on anymore and squatted on the ground holding her head, her face already wet with pear blossoms and rain.
"Brother, where are you? Xiaoyue is so scared."
Lin Yue'er held her head and kept crying, her voice was very low. Obviously she was still afraid of disturbing something scary.
And just when she was holding her head and crying, she felt a big cold hand pressing on her head, and then a voice that was very familiar to her sounded.
"Why are you crying? Isn't my brother here?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Yue'er's body suddenly froze, and she raised her head in disbelief. What came into view was a young man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a smile on his face.
Seeing this young man, Lin Yue'er finally couldn't bear it anymore, burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Qian's arms.
"Brother! You're finally here! You don't know how scared I am here alone!"
"It's so eerie here, so scary, I'm so scared!"
Lin Qian's eyes were very soft, but she felt more guilty. He patted her back gently and comforted her softly:
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother is here, nothing will happen."
Black mist surged, and the neon lights on the ghost post office reflected a strange world. Lin Yue'er threw herself into Lin Qian's arms and burst into tears.
Coco looked at her lost and found sister-in-law with a very guilty look on her face. She hugged Lin Yue'er's calf and was unwilling to let go, fearing that if she accidentally missed it, her sister-in-law would be gone again.
Lin Qian patted Lin Yue'er's back. Every time he patted her icy-cold hand, Lin Yue'er's body shivered, not because of fear, but simply because of the cold...
After Lin Qian took the photo seven or eight times, Lin Yue'er finally couldn't help it anymore, stopped crying, and raised her head to look at Lin Qian faintly:
"Brother, do you want to freeze your sister to death?"
Lin Qian:……
Lin Qian's arm stopped stiffly on Lin Yue'er's back. It didn't matter if he patted it, or if he didn't pat it...
Looking at Lin Yue'er's gloomy eyes, Lin Qian was silent for a while and silently retracted his hand. He didn't know his hands were so cold. Do you blame me?
Looking at her silent brother, Lin Yue'er rolled her eyes. This brother of hers was good at everything, but he was not very good at comforting others, not as good as Coco.
"Brother, am I dead? Where is this place? I must have gone to the underworld, right?"
Lin Yue'er looked around nervously and hugged Coco into her arms. She hadn't seen this little guy for a long time, and she felt a lot fatter. She didn't know how much she had eaten.
Now Lin Yue'er doesn't feel panic at all. As long as her brother is by her side, she will be safe. Although he is usually elusive and seems very unreliable, as long as he is here, everything will be worry-free!
Hearing Lin Yue'er's inquiry, Lin Qian was slightly silent. He looked at her holding and rubbing Coco, then turned to look at the Ghost Post Office, her eyes flickering.
Lin Yue'er's current memory still remains before death. This is actually normal. Resurrecting a person actually means that a person's memory still exists in this world.
It doesn’t matter whether you copy and paste or read it again, what matters is that this person is still a person.
The surroundings were filled with black fog. Lin Qian looked at the ghost post office quietly. After a while, he said:
"Xiaoyue, there are some things that I can't explain clearly for a while, and even if I tell you, you only half-understand them. This is actually unnecessary."
"You just need to know that you are still alive."
Lin Qian reached out and rubbed Lin Yue'er's head, ignoring her shivering due to the coldness of his hands.
"Come on, brother, I'll take you in. You may have to live here for a while."
"ah?"
Lin Yue'er looked at her brother with a confused face. What he said before seemed as if he hadn't said it before. He had made fun of nonsense literature.
Even if you tell me, I have only a vague idea of what it means. How would you know that I don’t understand if you don’t tell me.
But when Lin Qian said his last words, Lin Yue'er's expression suddenly changed. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Qian's clothes, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Brother? You, are you kidding me? Am I still your sister? You actually let me live here for a while?"
Lin Yue'er looked at the eerie scenes around her and the ghost post office that looked like it could not be lived in by a living person. She suddenly wondered if the old man in front of her was fake.
Otherwise, why would you let your biological sister live here?
Hearing this familiar opening method, Lin Qian's dull mood, which she thought was a strange bride, suddenly felt a little better.
"Xiaoyue, it's safe to live here. At least it's safer than outside. The current situation is a bit complicated. I haven't completely rescued you yet. It will take some time."
"But you don't have to worry. It won't take long, at most a month, and I will come to pick you up."
Lin Qian's voice echoed in Lin Yue'er's ears, and the information in her words made her confused.
After a while, she realized what she was doing and stared at her brother with doubts in her eyes. She wondered if he was deceiving her:
"Brother, what do you mean by not being fully resurrected? Didn't you just say that I was still alive? Why has it changed now! And where do you plan to go? Are you planning to leave me alone?"
Hearing Lin Yue'er's inquiry, Lin Qian fell silent. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't be told about the ghost paintings. She relied on the supernatural power of the ghost paintings to preserve her memories.
Once she gets to know about the ghost paintings, she will attract some of the ghost paintings' supernatural power, but maybe it's nothing now.
But once he starts to control ghost paintings, Lin Yue'er will be the reason for his failure.
"Xiaoyue, be obedient. There are some things you can't know. It won't do you any good. Be good, brother will be very busy recently, so just wait for him at the ghost post office."
"Believe me, brother, I won't harm you."
Lin Qian patiently explained to Lin Yue'er that there were some things that she really couldn't let her know. The puzzle of the mysterious bride was too weird, and the ghost painting could be said to be the biggest piece of the puzzle. The weirdness in it was very scary.
Lin Yue'er looked at Lin Qian with doubtful eyes, but thinking that this was her only relative, she had no other choice but to believe.
If it were someone else here, she wouldn't believe it so simply.
"Are you serious? You didn't lie to me? You really only want me to stay here for a month? You know I'm not smart, so you can't lie to me!"
Lin Yue'er was still a little worried and confirmed once. It wasn't that she didn't trust her brother, but that he was unreliable every time he guaranteed things, especially when it came to guaranteeing time.
This is a criminal record. It was like this last time. I had promised to come back in five or six days, but it took me eight or nine days to get home. And this was not just once or twice.
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you, one month is the longest time. If everything goes well, it might not take more than a month." Lin Qian nodded and said.
Seeing Lin Qian's assurance, Lin Yue'er felt relieved, nodded lightly and said:
"Okay, then, I'll listen to you, but I have to say it in advance. You have to come and pick me up quickly. This place looks very gloomy, and it doesn't look like a place where people live."
"If I stay here for too long, I feel like I'll go crazy."
This is actually normal. In the ghost post office in the painting, the people who can stay here are not ordinary people. Lin Yue'er, an ordinary person, has stayed here for a long time. It is not normal if he is not crazy.
If Lin Qian hadn't asked her to be here, she would never have entered the ghost post office...
Seeing Lin Yue'er looking around pitifully, the fear in her eyes was not fake. She was very scared. The reason why she sounded normal when she spoke now was just because Lin Qian was here.
Lin Qian sighed slightly in his heart, with guilt in his eyes. If he had not gotten ghost blood, Lin Yue'er would not have died, and there would be no need to live here.
The ghost post office is very weird, both outside and inside. Some things can only be understood by becoming an administrator.
"Let's go, I'll take you in. There are a lot of people inside. I'll help you take care of things."
With that said, Lin Qian led Lin Yue'er towards the ghost post office. Lin Yue'er hugged Coco and hesitated for a while before choosing to follow.
"Keke, do you miss your sister-in-law?"
"Hmm, Keke, I miss my sister-in-law. Without my sister-in-law, Keke doesn't even feel good about eating anymore!"
Lin Yue'er:......
Lin Qian:……
The atmosphere became awkward in an instant, and the topic was immediately dropped. Ke Ke's chat skills were even more outrageous than Lin Qian's.
"Ah...really...then Keke really misses my sister-in-law."
Lin Yue'er smiled reluctantly and said, not asking for trouble anymore by asking Cocoa questions.
Coco, this little guy, obviously had a different brain circuit than hers. If she continued to ask questions, she felt like she would be pissed to death.
Lin Qian walked in front silently, eyes narrowed, Zhang Xianguang's true form was right in front of him, he could see it as long as he entered.
The neon reflected a touch of green, and the ghost post office became extremely weird under this green light.
In the ghost post office, there are still many people doing nothing, chatting, playing chess, reminiscing about the past, everything looks extremely harmonious.
The sound of chatter and the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard rang out in the hall, occasionally accompanied by a burst of sighing, which seemed to be caused by someone making a bad move that resulted in the entire game being lost.
Zhang Xianguang, who was playing chess with Yang Xiao, looked at the somewhat complicated chess game, thinking in his eyes, picked up a chess piece on the chessboard, and just wanted to move Yang Xiao.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the door of the hall.
Seeing Zhang Xianguang's expression, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and also looked at the door of the hall, thinking about something in his eyes.
"Is something terrible coming?"
squeak
The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open. Everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look over.
A young man walked into the hall, and many people looked surprised:
"Oh? Is this a new person? This is not easy. How long has it been? Finally, one is here."
"No, I don't know since when, no one has left any paintings. I don't know what went wrong, but now one finally comes."
"Gee, this guy looks so young. Messengers these days are all so young. He's really awesome."
Several messengers looked at Lin Qian and started joking. They didn't mean anything malicious, but they hadn't seen someone new for a long time, so it felt very novel.
Lin Yue'er hid behind Lin Qian and quietly looked at the scene in the hall, her eyes full of doubts. She couldn't figure out why there were so many people here. Isn't this a ghost post office?
Shouldn't there be ghosts inside? The ghost post office, as the name suggests, is a post office with ghosts, but why are there people here?
Lin Qian glanced at the messengers. When he saw a middle-aged man looking at him, the blood in his eyes suddenly flashed.
Lin Qian looked at the middle-aged man, a smile slowly appeared on his face:
"Zhang Xianguang, please introduce yourself. My name is Lin Qian, the person in charge of Dajiang City. You should have heard of me, right?"
Lin Qian walked towards Zhang Xianguang, and a red umbrella suddenly appeared in his hand. The chains on the red umbrella collided slightly, and the crisp and sweet knocking sound echoed through the hall.
However, because of Lin Qian's control, the chaos caused by the chain did not attack others. He still needed these messengers to protect Xiaoyue, so killing them would not do.
Zhang Xianguang looked at Lin Qian calmly, a little silent, and after a while he said:
"How are you sure that I am alive? You should have been an administrator, so you should know that the people here are just paintings left by the messenger on the fifth floor."
"They are all dead people, a group of dead people who cannot leave the oil painting, but you seem to think that I am a living person from the beginning. Why is this? You must have never come into contact with me."
As Zhang Xianguang said these words, everyone in the hall looked at Zhang Xianguang with a somewhat incredible look in their eyes. Is this guy actually alive?
What the hell, it's simply outrageous. A living person stayed with them for so long, and none of them noticed.
The living people Zhang Xianguang talks about are living people who can leave here at will, not dead people like them who cannot leave here for the rest of their lives and are trapped here.
Yang Xiao stared at Zhang Xianguang. When he heard his words, his eyes suddenly suddenly cleared up, and most of the doubts in his heart were revealed at this moment.
Hearing Zhang Xianguang's doubts, Lin Qian was still smiling, and the red light in his eyes kept flashing. Looking at Zhang Xianguang's calm and confused expression, the corners of his mouth curled up:
"You two, one slashed me more than a dozen times, and the other tried hard to trip me up. You two worked very well together. You have a good understanding. You are worthy of being the same person."
"Zhang Xianguang, you have a very good brain, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with that fantastic plan. So guess how I was sure that you were alive?"
