Chapter 240 The Body in the Swimming Pool

Chapter 240 The Body in the Swimming Pool
Li Yi and Qin Bing looked at the pale dead head in the water and continued to study it. They were not as afraid of evil spirits as the people in this world. Although they knew that this thing was very dangerous, if they could find some tricks, perhaps they could increase their survival rate in the next letter delivery mission.

"It's very strange, it saw us and was right in front of us, but it didn't attack us." Qin Bing paused for a moment and found that he was not attacked.

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly at this moment, and he immediately thought of the three sentences Zheng Yaoyao had said to him before, the last of which was to understand the rules of ghosts.

Now it seems that ghosts do not kill just anyone they see, but follow a certain pattern.

Although the ghosts in this world are very scary, they are not like the evil spirits and ghosts in the four seas and eight continents. They can kill people whenever they want. Instead, they are subject to certain restrictions. If you can find the reason why this ghost is restricted from killing, then the probability of its survival will be very high. This may be the so-called law.

"Ghosts will only kill people under specific circumstances. We are not under specific conditions now, so even if I see a ghost, it will not attack us." Li Yi said at this moment, and then he boldly picked up a pebble next to the green belt.

He circulated his Qi, blood and Qi and threw it out casually.

The pebble shot out like a bullet and pierced through the pale dead head the next moment.

However, no blood flowed out of the wound. Instead, water kept gushing out. The water was foul-smelling and yellowish, like corpse water.

But the head still stared at Li Yi and did not make any move.

"You won't attack us even if this happens?" Qin Bing said while smoking a cigarette, "It seems that your analysis is correct. The ghosts in this world have certain limitations. Now I understand why a place is sealed off immediately after a supernatural incident. As long as there is no one around, the ghosts will behave themselves."

"But this is just a preliminary analysis. Maybe this conclusion is only useful for the few ghosts we encountered, but not for other ghosts." Li Yi threw a few more pebbles while speaking.

Under his powerful strength, the pale dead head was smashed into pieces in a moment.

But something strange happened.

As the head sank into the water, it immediately returned to its previous appearance. All the wounds pierced by Li Yi just now disappeared, and there seemed to be a bit more resentment towards Li Yi in the pair of pale eyes.

"It turns out that it can't be killed. Even if its body is destroyed, it will recover immediately under the influence of some force. Is this the horror of supernatural powers? But power of this level should not appear in this world." Qin Bing sighed.

Li Yi studied it for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the few people did not stay any longer, but continued to look for abnormalities in other places.

soon.

The entire gymnasium was explored, and they understood everything here clearly. At the same time, they also confirmed some problematic places. As for the person named Faye Wong, she was still not found. They even looked at the gymnasium staff list, and Faye Wong's name was not on it.

But Li Yi can be sure that this Faye Wong is most likely not a living person, but a dead person.

Because there was no living person in the entire stadium except them. If there were, they would definitely be discovered quickly with the perception ability of the evolvers.

"So, this letter is for the dead? But there are so many people missing in the gymnasium, it is not easy to find that Wang Fei, and there is a high possibility that there are evil spirits near the dead. This doesn't look like a letter delivery mission, but more like a suicide mission." Li Yi said with a frown.

"I think that since the Ghost Post Office asked us to deliver a letter, they shouldn't give us a mission that means we're going to die. Of course, there are difficulties, but we have to grasp the risks ourselves. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go meet up with Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing to see if they have any gains." Qin Bing said.

Li Yi nodded, then contacted them and prepared to meet up.

soon.

The two teams that had been separated before reunited again.

Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing were also very cautious. When they saw any unusual places, they did not go to investigate. They just passed by and took notes. The two sides exchanged information and soon came to a rough conclusion.

"The swimming pool, dormitory building, pool and toilet are the four places with problems. Either the stench of corpses is smelled or traces of evil spirits are seen. Everything else is normal and nothing is found. And the person who received the letter, Wang Fei, is most likely a dead person, and possibly a ghost. The places where she is are most likely these four places, no, three places. There are only ghosts in the pool, no corpses."

Li Yi made a summary and glanced at the others: "I suggest starting with the method of elimination and exploring slowly. As I said before, we have a lot of people and plenty of time, so there is no rush. So I suggest starting with the toilets, then the swimming pool, and then the dormitory building. When exploring, we should also split into two teams to avoid being wiped out together."

"This makes sense, we should proceed step by step." Tao Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Let's do this." Qin Bing said while smoking.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Yi immediately took action.

The seven of them rushed to a public toilet in the gymnasium as quickly as possible. The toilet was not very big, but it gave off a stench of rotting corpses. The smell made Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing, who had passed by there before, dare not go in to check rashly, for fear of encountering an accident.

But now, in order to find that Faye Wong, I have to take a risk.

"Follow me." Li Yi glanced at Guo You and another messenger, then he and Qin Bing strode towards the toilet.

They first went into the men's restroom.

"Open all the doors and look for Faye Wong's body." Li Yi said.

Guo You and another messenger did not dare to resist, so they had to obey and opened all the doors in the men's toilet one by one. Unfortunately, they did not find Wang Fei's body, but only found some skin fragments in the toilet, which was what gave off the foul smell. "Didn't you find anything? Go to the women's toilet." Li Yi was observing the surroundings. He was a little disappointed and immediately went to check next door.

The danger in this toilet is the smallest. If something goes wrong, he can exit immediately. If he can't find Faye Wong here, then this person will most likely be in the swimming pool or dormitory building. These two places are relatively large, and not only will it be difficult to find her, but the probability of encountering danger is also high.

After a while, Li Yi and others left the toilet. He shook his head and found nothing.

"In that case, let's go to the swimming pool." Tao Yuan said.
Several people returned to the original place.

Just standing in front of the door of the swimming pool, the smell of rotting corpses hit you in the face, making you want to vomit.

"This time, Zhang Jing and I will go investigate. Li Yi, you guys wait outside." Tao Yuan took a deep breath, and regardless of the stench, he took Zhang Jing and another messenger and walked into the swimming pool.

"Be careful, retreat if you find any danger, don't worry about it." Qin Bing reminded.

Zhang Jing said, "Don't worry. We will run away immediately if there is any danger. We won't hesitate. We have learned our lesson after suffering such a big loss before."

Li Yi remained silent.

What he was worried about was not that he would not run away when he encountered danger, but that he would not be able to run away at all when he encountered danger.

However, he didn't know what was going on in the gymnasium, so he really needed someone to investigate.

soon.

Tao Yuan, Zhang Jing, and another messenger walked into the gymnasium cautiously.

As soon as they passed the gate, they felt a dampness in the air. It was wet everywhere and made people feel very uncomfortable. The lights in the corridor flickered on and off irregularly. In addition, there were many wet footprints on the ground. These footprints were densely packed, filling every corner of the gymnasium and even on the walls.

The water stains have not dried yet, some are new and some are old, as if someone was walking here just now.

But they didn't hear any movement, and now they couldn't see any one. Those who could move around here couldn't even be considered human, because this place had been blocked for a long time, and it was impossible for there to be living people at all.

"There's a ghost here." Tao Yuan said in a low voice.

Zhang Jing deeply agreed with this. If someone said there were no ghosts here, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.

But now that I'm here, I can't retreat. If I fail to complete the mission of delivering the letter, I will be killed by the ghost. Although it is dangerous here, at least there is room for maneuver.

The three of them continued forward cautiously.

After walking through a passage, they arrived at the swimming pool.

At this moment, the eyes of several people suddenly narrowed as they saw a strange and creepy scene.

The originally clear swimming pool was now filled with countless corpses. These corpses were piled up layer by layer and intertwined with each other. It was unknown how long they had been here. Many of the corpses had been swollen and turned pale due to being soaked. Some of the corpses seemed to have retained their appearance before they were alive, looking terrified, hideous, and particularly creepy.

"Is this the person who disappeared in the gymnasium before?" Tao Yuan was shocked.

It is not an easy task to fill such a large swimming pool. At least hundreds of people were left here. So many people died at once. No wonder this place had to be blocked.

But, would the Faye Wong they were looking for be in this swimming pool?
If so, then it would be extremely difficult to find them. There are hundreds of corpses here, and they are all nameless. If you want to complete the task of delivering the letter, you have to try again and again. But in that case, it will not only be very dangerous, but also take a long time. It is simply unrealistic.

There must be some way to confirm Faye Wong's identity, I just haven't discovered it yet.

"Do you want to continue investigating?" Zhang Jing asked.

Tao Yuan calmed down and said, "If we just take a look and leave, we won't get any information. Let's walk away from the swimming pool and walk around the audience seats to see if there are any other discoveries."

However, just as they continued walking forward for a while, they suddenly stopped.

For some unknown reason, the corpse in the swimming pool suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing.

This scene made the two people's hair stand on end, and they subconsciously wanted to escape from here.

"Calm down." Tao Yuan said in a low voice, without acting rashly.

The scene froze at this moment.

But after a while Tao Yuan discovered that the corpse in the swimming pool did not make any other moves except staring at them.
