Chapter 248 Information on the Second Floor

At this moment, Li Yi was looking at the old messenger named Wang Chuan, and carefully observing the cheongsam woman with no heartbeat. However, what he couldn't understand was that Guo You should have come to the second floor after delivering the third letter like himself, so why was he hanging out with these two people.

Although the couriers were not enemies, in this haunted place called the post office, people's minds were unpredictable and it was difficult to truly trust each other.

Perhaps seeing Li Yi's vigilance, Guo You immediately came over and said, "Li Yi, don't be nervous. Wang Chuan and Liu Qingqing are the messengers on the second floor, especially Wang Chuan. He has been on the second floor for a long time and is a very experienced messenger. He explained a lot about the Ghost Post Office to us before, which is very helpful for us to complete the delivery and survival."

"And they have no ill intentions. After all, there aren't that many messengers on the second floor, so they won't have conflicts over rooms. And after being screened on the first floor, the messengers on the second floor have a longer survival time. Under such circumstances, messengers generally won't offend each other."

Guo You had let down his guard at this moment. After all, he was a newcomer who had just arrived on the second floor, and there was nothing worthy of the other party's calculation. Moreover, the letter delivery tasks were often unrelated to each other. On the contrary, if everyone shared intelligence, it would increase the chance of survival.

Li Yi's face was calm, but he remained alert inside. His eyes were focused on the woman named Liu Qingqing.

To him, ordinary messengers are naturally no threat, but the ghost rider is different. He does not have the ability to fight against the supernatural power now. If he has a conflict with the ghost rider, the only way is to strike first and kill him before the other party uses that supernatural power.

"You don't have to be afraid. Although I am a ghost rider, I won't act rashly." Liu Qingqing also saw Li Yi's vigilance. She said coldly, "Every time a ghost rider uses supernatural power, it will cause supernatural erosion. If it happens too many times, or if too much supernatural power is used at one time, then this power will get out of control, and the evil spirit in the body will revive. Not only will he die, but it will also cause serious supernatural events."

"My supernatural powers must be reserved for use in delivering letters, and will not be wasted for no reason."

Li Yi looked a little surprised when he heard this: "Ghost riders have such restrictions?"

He had not known this before.

"The more powerful the supernatural power, the greater the price to pay. Ordinary people can reach unimaginable power overnight, but the price is naturally extremely heavy." Liu Qingqing said.

“That makes a lot of sense.”

Li Yi nodded. He had some doubts before. People in this world did not need to practice. They could gain supernatural powers by controlling evil spirits. And any supernatural power could easily kill a master of the spiritual perception realm like him. If there was no price, then the ghost riders in this world would have been invincible long ago.

"Haha, come in and say whatever you want to say. It's not easy for everyone to live. It's better to cooperate in a place like the Ghost Post Office. Your name is Li Yi, right? It's right to be vigilant. After all, you just experienced the three-letter mission on the first floor, and you don't know the situation on the second floor. But it doesn't matter, I will tell you slowly."

Wang Chuan spoke, smiled, and motioned for everyone to go into the room to talk.

Li Yi thought about it, but his spiritual perception did not detect any malicious intent from this person, nor any danger warning, so he nodded calmly.

soon.

Several people returned to the room again.

However, when Li Yi passed by Liu Qingqing, the cold aura on her body became stronger. At the same time, he also smelled a faint strange odor, which was not emitted by the human body, but rather like that emitted by some object. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The rooms on the second floor are more spacious, the lighting is brighter, and there is less mold and damp, but it is still depressing and not very comfortable.

Li Yi took a casual glance and saw many wine bottles, food, water, and some clothes on the ground. It seemed that the messenger named Wang Chuan had lived here for a long time.

"Li Yi, I said before that you are lucky to be here. According to the estimated time, I may receive the third letter in the next few days. Then you will have one more opportunity to choose." Wang Chuan sat down, opened a bottle of beer, gulped down a few gulps, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?" Li Yi asked.

Wang Chuan said slowly, "Let me first tell you about the rules of delivering letters in the Ghost Post Office. No, it should be said that there are unspoken rules, or loopholes. On the surface, the messengers who enter the Ghost Post Office need to deliver letters one after another, and then continue to complete the delivery tasks, and then slowly climb from the first floor to the fifth floor until the last letter is completed, and then we can leave the Ghost Post Office."

"However, after batches of messengers have explored, some people have gradually found some loopholes in delivering letters. For example, Li Yi, you should have delivered the last letter before, and you entered the second floor after delivering that letter. But have you ever thought about what would happen if your letter was taken by someone else and someone else successfully delivered the letter?"

Li Yi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.

He had never thought about this problem before, but when Wang Chuan reminded him, he immediately understood that the letter delivery mission could be snatched?
"What you mean is that if the letter is intercepted, then once the person successfully delivers the letter, he will be caught by the Ghost Post Office and identified as him, and he will go to the second floor?" Li Yi is not stupid and understood immediately.

Wang Chuan smiled and nodded, "You have a strong ability to understand. That's right. This is a loophole. If you are in a hurry to go upstairs, intercepting the third letter will allow you to go upstairs directly."

"What will happen to the messenger whose letter is intercepted?" Li Yi asked.

Wang Chuan said: "You will be judged as a newcomer by the Ghost Post Office and start delivering the first letter again, but the floor you are on will not change."

"Why do you know it so clearly?" Li Yi was surprised.

Wang Chuan took a sip of beer and said, "Because I did that. I sent the third letter more than once, and several messengers were sent to the third floor by me, so I stayed on the second floor for a long time."

"Huh?" Li Yi's eyes moved slightly: "Why are you doing this? Wouldn't you be trapped to death on the second floor?" "This is my choice. The second floor is different from the first floor. The messenger on the second floor almost only has one letter delivery mission a month. I can rest for a month after delivering a letter. Besides, I am very clear about my abilities. It is almost impossible to walk out of the Ghost Post Office alive, because the higher you go, the more difficult the delivery mission becomes. I am not sure I can deliver the letters on the third and fourth floors." Wang Chuan laughed at himself.

He had accumulated rich experience in delivering letters on the second floor. Although each time was risky, it was at least within a controllable range. If he went to other floors and the difficulty suddenly increased, he might die immediately.

"I see." Li Yi understood, and then asked: "If the second floor delivers a letter once a month, how long does it take for the third floor?"

"A letter every three months." Liu Qingqing said on the side.

"Are you so sure?" Li Yi asked.

Liu Qingqing said coldly: "I have a friend who is working as a messenger on the third floor. I have his contact information and can be 100% sure."

Li Yi's eyes suddenly flickered at this moment.

If a letter is delivered to the third floor every three months, then if I can go to the third floor, it means I have completely escaped the control of the ghost post office, because the cross-border door will be opened in more than two months, and I can slip away without having to deliver any letters at all.

On the contrary, if he stayed on the first floor, he would have to deliver at least two letters, and if he was a little unlucky, he might even have to deliver three letters.
"I heard that there is also a red letter. The whole floor has to participate in the letter delivery mission. Once completed, everyone can go directly to the next floor." Wang Chuan shook the bottle of wine and laughed: "Unfortunately, I have never seen this so-called red letter. The most special one I saw was a blue letter. Unfortunately, the person who delivered the letter never came back, so the information was cut off."

"In addition to delivering the letter, there is another extreme way to complete the delivery mission."

As soon as these words came out, Guo You beside him immediately asked excitedly: "What method?"

"Tear up the letter." Wang Chuan took another sip of beer and said, "Tearing up the letter is equivalent to destroying the delivery mission, but there is a price to pay. It will attract the attack of the evil spirit. If you can survive the attack of the evil spirit, the Ghost Post Office will judge that you have successfully completed the delivery mission."

"Tearing up letters will attract attacks from evil spirits?" Li Yi's hair stood on end. "It's better to deliver letters. Delivering letters may not necessarily lead to encountering ghosts, but tearing up letters will definitely lead to ghosts targeting you."

"That's true, but if you can find some special ways to avoid attacks from evil spirits, then tearing up the letter is very cost-effective. I've met a city leader before, and he told me that there's a magical item in their ghost-controlling headquarters called a surrogate doll, which means it can die for you once. If you use the surrogate doll and then tear up the letter, the ghost won't attack you, but the surrogate doll."

"After the surrogate doll died, the ghost's attack ended, and the letter was successfully delivered."

"A scapegoat doll? There are such supernatural props?" Li Yi felt very surprised. There were indeed many strange and bizarre things in this world, and each of them revealed weirdness and evilness.

Wang Chuan said, "What I said is just a possibility. There are other ways to avoid attacks by evil spirits. For example, if you have money, you can use gold to build a safe house, tear up the letter and hide in the safe house. You just need to wait until the attack of the evil spirit is over. After all, the gold safe house has become a very simple and effective way to save lives in the spiritual world."

"Golden safe house?" Li Yi heard another very useful piece of intelligence.

How much would it cost to build a safe house with gold?

No wonder the price of gold in this world has risen so sharply. It turns out that all the gold has been used to build houses.

The price of gold in the world where I live is not high, and it is getting lower and lower. If I can cross back across the border, I will also build a safe house to avoid having nowhere to hide when I encounter ghosts. But I won’t need a safe house when I really go back. After all, the ghosts in this world are special.

Even if there are ghosts in his own world, he can kill them easily.

"In addition to avoiding the attacks of evil spirits, there is another more hard way, which is to fight against the evil spirits." At this point, Wang Chuan glanced at Liu Qingqing: "Ghost riders have supernatural powers, and supernatural powers can fight against evil spirits. If you can repel the attacking evil spirits after tearing up the letter, then you can also complete the mission of delivering the letter."

"But this depends on your personal ability. It is said that the more times you tear up the letters, the more terrifying the evil spirits that attack you will be."

Liu Qingqing said: "I have never torn up a letter, but I will try the method you mentioned if I have the chance."

She was confident that she could fight against ordinary evil spirits and believed that tearing up a letter would not be difficult.

"By the way, in addition to these, you must seize every opportunity to deliver letters on the first and second floors, because the delivery tasks on the first and second floors are relatively simple. At this time, you must find a way to obtain supernatural props or even supernatural powers during the delivery process. If you still don't have any supernatural items to save your life by the third floor, then once the difficulty of delivering letters increases, the messenger will be in trouble."

Afterwards, Wang Chuan gave everyone another reminder.

Li Yi remained silent, because what Wang Chuan said was right. He had guessed this before. There were some hidden benefits in the early letter delivery missions. If you could get them, it would be beneficial to your subsequent survival. He got a bottle of corpse water in the first letter delivery mission, and through the corpse water he could see some invisible evil spirits.

However, the second letter is a letter that takes people into the ghost post office and there is no chance to obtain supernatural props.

However, the third letter was sent to the ghost rider named Song Jin. Li Yi felt that he must have missed something.
