Chapter 236 Post Office
It seemed as if this winding path was the only thing that existed in this dark world. The four people continued to move forward along this path, constantly observing the situation around them. However, they could not see anything around them, even though they were evolvers.
And as they continued to move forward, the road behind them was disappearing rapidly.
All these unknown phenomena indicate that people on this path can only move forward and cannot retreat or stay.
This seems like a point of no return.
"It's very weird here. From what I saw just now, the building in the distance is obviously very far away, at least a few kilometers away from me. But after I actually set foot on this path, the building appeared in front of us after just a few steps. The distance seems to be distorted." Li Yi frowned at this moment. He looked at the old building that was getting closer and closer, feeling very uneasy.
"Look, there is a plaque on the building with the words 'Ghost Post Office' on it? Those are traditional Chinese characters." Qin Bing said, pointing to the front.
After getting closer, everyone indeed saw a plaque hanging on the old building. The three big words "Ghost Post Office" on it made their faces change slightly.
As a crosser who has been in this world for three days, I have already had a deep understanding of the ghosts in this world.
"Sure enough, we are inevitably involved in the supernatural events of this world in the end?" Zhang Jing laughed bitterly. "There was a problem with the previous decision. We shouldn't have contacted the ghosts of this world without understanding the situation. Not only did we lose a captain and a teammate, but we were also targeted by the person in charge of Dazhuang City."
"Although I don't know why they sent us here, it looks like they don't intend to let us leave here alive."
Others were silent.
If I really enter this haunted post office, can I come out alive?
But there is no choice in all this.
The four of them were scattered in three places, and the appearance of a letter forced them to follow this path to come here. If they hadn't done so, they would probably have died just now.
"If the other party wanted to kill us, there shouldn't be any need to go through so much trouble. I think this ghost post office may be a huge danger, but I also believe that there must be a chance to survive." Qin Bing smoked a cigarette, calmed down, and spoke.
"It's too late to worry about it now. If we don't go, we'll die. If we go, we might have a chance to survive." Li Yi said, "No matter where it is, I think as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up with our strength. But before that, I want to remind you guys."
"The ghosts in this world are very dangerous and can't be killed. What we can do is to find a way to avoid being hunted by ghosts. It's best not to be targeted by ghosts. Captain Zhang Xun's previous wrong ideas led to this series of events. We have to change the bad habits of evolvers and stop thinking about fighting when we meet the enemy."
The others nodded, understanding what Li Yi meant.
Personal force is not very useful in this world. Before mastering the same level of supernatural power, even an evolver can only find a way to escape when encountering a fierce ghost.
"I want to add one thing. There are only four of us in our team now. We must unite and try to survive these three months, and then go back across the border. No matter what grudges and disputes arise during this period, we can discuss everything after we return. Don't fight among ourselves." Tao Yuan said at this moment.
"Of course. I put aside my grudges under that situation before and rescued Xu Qiumei, who had a grudge against me. Now facing this situation, I understand the importance of unity even more." Li Yi said calmly.
The others were also very confident in Li Yi at this moment.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
When they were escaping, it was Li Yi who reminded them to save Xu Qiumei and Zhang Jing, otherwise they would not even have a chance to survive.
"Since everyone has no problem, then the cooperation for survival is settled. Next, let's break into this haunted post office together. We can't escape it anyway." Qin Bing threw away his cigarette, and the cigarette butt flew out. Before it hit the ground, it was swallowed up by the darkness outside the road and disappeared.
When they saw this, they became more determined in their hearts that this was a road of no return that could not be refused or avoided.
soon.
The four of them walked the last section of the path and arrived at the building with a plaque that read "Ghost Post Office."
A heavy, old door stood before his eyes. A chilly aura wafted out from inside, and there were faint strange noises coming from it. This was enough to prove that this old building was not empty. There must be something inside, perhaps a person, a ghost rider, or perhaps an evil spirit wandering around.
Faced with such an existence, everyone felt hesitant, and an instinctive resistance made them not want to push open the door.
Then colorful neon lights flashed around, preventing the darkness from spreading.
But staying at the door all the time is not a solution. Since this mysterious force has guided them here, it is definitely impossible for them to stay quietly at the door. If they stand here for too long, they might encounter other dangers.
Think of this.
Li Yi did not retreat, but took a step forward and pushed open the old door.
The door was not locked and looked heavy but was actually easy to open.
Along with a chilly breath, what came into view was an old hall with uneven floors. Some of them were even rotten. It was unknown how many years it had been since anyone had taken care of it. In addition, there were oil paintings hanging on the walls near the hall. Each of them was a portrait of a person, both men and women, all different.
"Here, our night vision seems to have recovered." Li Yi's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of strangeness.
They couldn't see through the darkness on the path before, but they could see it here, which should be good news.
If the evolver's vision is affected, it proves that the darkness is not simply darkness, but is interfered by some mysterious force.
"Let's go in and take a look." Qin Bing had already made up his mind at this moment, and he walked forward.
My feet stepped on the floor, making a creaking sound.
The sound was not loud, but it echoed in the empty hall.
Several people successfully walked into the hall of the ghost post office. They looked around and saw the empty wooden counter and the yellowed glass lamps above their heads. There was nothing special about the layout, just old and decayed, like a product of the previous era that was about to be eliminated, but no one knew why it continued to exist.
"What is this?" Suddenly, Li Yi stopped and looked down. He saw a piece of paper dropped on the floor.
He picked it up and saw that it was a piece of black letter paper.
There were not only some under his feet, but also in other places, scattered around.
"This paper seems to be a little special." Li Yi said in a low voice.
The cold feeling coming from the paper made him realize that there seemed to be some kind of mysterious power on it.
"Really?" Several others also picked up one or two and looked at them.
It's indeed a bit unusual.
"Let's collect some first, maybe it will be of some use." Li Yi said again.
The others did not refuse, but picked up one or two and then stopped collecting them.
When they passed through the hall, they saw a U-shaped patio in front of them. There were rooms surrounding the patio. After a quick count, there should be seven rooms. Each room had a house number 11, 12, 13. Obviously, these numbers were not difficult to analyze.
The 1 in front represents the floor, and the number behind represents the room number.
But when Li Yi looked around, he couldn't see the way to go upstairs. It seemed that there was only one floor here.
Qin Bing came to a room and listened carefully. He heard some movement and breathing in the room. His face changed slightly and he immediately looked at other people: "Someone is living in the room."
what?
The others were startled.
There are still people living in this damn place?
"Are you sure it's a human?" Li Yi asked immediately.
Qin Bing said: "The breathing is a little rapid, the other party is a little nervous, and this breathing frequency is definitely that of an ordinary person."
The advantages of the evolvers were revealed at this moment.
You can hear the other person's breathing through a door, and even judge the other person's strength from his breathing.
"Are they people who are as unlucky as us to enter here, or are they already here? We don't know the situation here, so it would be best to find someone to ask." After Li Yi finished speaking, he immediately walked over and forced the door open.
Although the door was locked, it opened easily.
As soon as the door opened, the breathing of the person inside became noticeably heavier. In the dark room, a pair of frightened eyes appeared in the sight of several people.
"Don't be nervous, we are not ghosts, we are people who have accidentally entered here." Li Yi saw the reason for the other party's fear and spoke immediately.
As he finished speaking, the person in the room visibly calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You, you are crazy. You come to the ghost post office so late at night. Don't you know that the lights in the ghost post office will be turned off after six o'clock? After the lights are turned off, all messengers must stay in the room. It is best not to go out, otherwise they will be killed by the ghosts wandering in the post office." The man said hurriedly at this moment.
As soon as these words came out.
Li Yi and others couldn't help but look at each other.
Is there such a rule?
The lights will be turned off after six o'clock. Will there be ghosts wandering around and killing people at night?
Is it okay to stay in the room?
"How do you know this information?" Li Yi walked into the room and said.
The man said anxiously, "We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say. Get out now and don't come into my room. Only one person can stay in a room here. If there are more than two people, the ghosts wandering outside will attack the people in the room, and no one will survive."
Can only one person stay in a room?
Another rule?
Everyone was shocked.
They didn't expect that there were so many taboos here. They were new here and didn't know anything. If this person hadn't told them this information, they would still be kept in the dark and wouldn't know how they died.
"What this person said should not be a lie. Let's find a room first and get through this night." Li Yi said immediately.
Others looked at it and also felt that it was better to believe it than not to believe it.
The person in front of me is so scared that he is willing to stay alone in a dark room, which shows that these things are true. If they are false, he would not dare to take such a risk.
Immediately.
The four people quickly left the room and began to look for other empty rooms.
There are seven rooms in total.
Excluding the room where the man just lived, there were six rooms left, enough for the four of them to live in.
