Chapter 253 Footsteps on the Ceiling

After everyone slipped into the collection hall, they immediately went up the stairs to the second floor without hesitation. Because according to Li Yi's previous confirmation, there was nothing abnormal on the second floor and it was relatively safe and could be used as a temporary resting place. Although Li Yi was an evolver and did not need such trouble, most of the other messengers were ordinary people.

"No wonder the second floor is safer. It turns out that the second floor has the least collection of exhibits." Guo You was looking around at the surrounding situation.

Although there are some strange things on the second floor, the number is much less than that on the first floor, and most of the area is empty. It is obvious that the owner Fang Hua has not had time to organize and display some things.

Li Yi came to an open space near the window and said, "Put everything here, and then start exploring the situation from the second floor. Although the possibility of ghosts on the second floor is small, if we want to deliver the letter successfully, we can't miss any suspicious places. In addition, the third letter must be dangerous, so it's always better to be careful."

Everyone nodded, thinking that there was no problem. They put down their backpacks and began to investigate the situation on the second floor.

"This delivery mission did not specify the ghost's identity and location, which means that the ghost could appear anywhere in this collection hall, and most importantly, we don't know the ghost's killing pattern." At this time, Liu Qingqing walked over and said, "If the ghost suddenly attacks you, how confident are you that you can survive?"

"That depends on how the ghost kills people. If it appears in front of me head-on, it will be almost impossible for me to be killed." Li Yi was holding an old and cracked short stick in his hand at the moment. With the reaction speed of an evolver, it was impossible for him to be killed by a close-range sneak attack from a ghost.

"You are really confident." Liu Qingqing said, "But my suggestion is that if a ghost appears, you can come to me for help first. I will help you resist the ghost's attack, and you can take the opportunity to send the letter. With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to do this."

"That's a good method. Aren't you afraid of being killed by ghosts?" Li Yi looked at her and said.

"I am still confident that I can survive." Liu Qingqing said seriously.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

It seems that ghost riders are different. After possessing supernatural powers, they have the confidence to fight against evil spirits.

However, although the plan proposed by Liu Qingqing is simple, it is very effective. One person fights the evil spirit, and one person completes the delivery of the letter. As long as they cooperate well, they can complete the delivery task within one second, and then light the letter and leave here smoothly.

But the most important thing now is to determine the location of the ghost.

Li Yi was also slowly exploring the situation on the second floor. As time passed, everyone walked around the second floor several times and almost confirmed that the second floor was safe. There were no ghosts or abnormalities, and of course no so-called supernatural items were found.

Although there was no gain, at least everyone was guaranteed a safe resting area.

But to be on the safe side, Li Yi came to the stairs to the second floor, took out the bottle of yellow corpse water, and poured it evenly on the ground, leaving a puddle of water.

"This is corpse water that carries supernatural powers. I put it here to prevent ghosts from sneaking up to the second floor at some point. Be careful when you go up and down the stairs and don't step on it. I still don't fully understand the function of this corpse water. I only know that it can make you see some evil spirits that are normally invisible."

He was not stingy with the things in his hands at this moment, because he thought that this might be his last letter, and he did not intend to take these things back.

"Did you get it in the gym last time?" Guo You looked at the puddle of water and immediately understood where this thing came from.

But just when Li Yi finished this step.

suddenly.

On the first floor, the sound of footsteps echoed.

The movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

You should know that the collection hall is now closed. Except for the five of them, no one else can enter here. In the past few days, the only person who was observed to be special was the owner of the hall, Fang Hua. However, Fang Hua has been confirmed dead, but for some reason he appeared in the collection hall again.

"Go and see."

Li Yi said immediately.

Liu Qingqing did not object. If they wanted to deliver the letter, they had to come into contact with ghosts. This was unavoidable, so they had to face it even if there was danger. There was no way they could retreat.

soon.

The five people quickly went downstairs and came to the first floor.

They looked in the direction where the sound came from, but did not see anything. Perhaps their view was blocked by the things in the collection hall, or perhaps the owner of the footsteps was an invisible ghost that could not be captured by sight.

Li Yi took out the bottle of corpse water and looked forward again through the yellow corpse water.

However, nothing unusual was seen.

It was just that the dull sound of footsteps continued to echo in the exhibition hall on the first floor, and judging from the sound, it seemed to be getting closer and closer to them.

"You are a ghost rider, do you have any special perception?" Li Yi then looked at Liu Qingqing and asked.

"This place is filled with supernatural auras, and ghosts may appear anywhere, but I can't accurately sense a certain direction now." Liu Qingqing shook her head.

"In that case, I'll take you around the front and find the source of the footsteps. We can't be distracted and unable to move just because of the sound of footsteps." After Li Yi finished speaking, he moved his feet and instantly came to Liu Qingqing's side, then stretched out a hand and grabbed her directly.

Then the warrior's energy exploded, and the evolver's strong physical fitness was fully revealed at this moment.

Li Yi rushed out with Liu Qingqing like an arrow. The protective qi surged out, creating a series of air waves in the air.

However, despite the explosion, there was not much noise around. The control of this kind of power was incredible.

Liu Qingqing's eyes suddenly shrank at this moment. She felt dizzy and her ears were buzzing. She couldn't hear anything. When she reacted slightly, she found that the person had already rushed away for dozens of meters. She thought it was over, but after a slight pause, she was rushed out again in an instant.

This brief pause is both a time to accumulate strength and to observe.

Li Yi's pair of vertical pupils lit up, and his dynamic vision was fully expanded. As his eyes moved, even a mosquito flying by would be caught by him instantly.

Nothing that moved could escape his sight.

But for ordinary people, they can't see anything. Even if Liu Qingqing is a ghost rider, it's the same. Her senses and reactions are still within the range of ordinary people. She can't confirm the surrounding situation within one second like Li Yi.

"Li Yi, you're going too fast. Don't do this. I can't stand it." Liu Qingqing felt like she was about to faint.

"You'd better speak normally. I'm not fast at all. This is already considered slow."

"Also, you don't need to care about so much. I will tell you naturally after I find the ghost. Now don't talk. The footsteps are very strange. They are clearly around, but I still can't find anything." Li Yi's pupils turned vertically and continued to capture the surrounding situation.

According to his judgment, the source of the footsteps was definitely no more than ten meters away from him.

And at such a close distance, there was no way he couldn't see it.

Take out the bottle of corpse water again.

He looked around again through the yellow corpse water, but still didn't see anything.

Until Li Yi sensed something, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he instantly jumped up again pulling Liu Qingqing, and grabbed the ceiling in an incredible way. His five fingers were as deep as steel and penetrated into the cement. The powerful finger strength easily hung the two of them together.

"No, the footsteps were not on the first floor, but on the floor below ground. And the footsteps were not on the ground, but on the roof."

Li Yi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

There is only a wall between the ground floor and the roof of the underground floor.

If the footsteps were from a ghost, then he was so close to the ghost at that moment.

If a ghost had attacked me just now, I might not have been able to react.

"What?" Liu Qingqing was also shocked. She didn't expect the source of the footsteps to be this.

What's actually walking on the ceiling downstairs?

Li Yi did not say anything, but stared at a certain direction of the ground and hesitated for a moment. With his explosive strength, he could punch through the floor and go directly to the underground floor. However, doing so would not only make a lot of noise, but he might also be attacked by ghosts instantly. At that time, even if he had the old stick in his hand and Liu Qingqing, the ghost rider, he might not be able to respond in time.

But if he is not unlucky, he can catch the evil ghost in an instant and complete the mission of delivering the letter.

"Who?"

However, just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a pair of strange eyes looking at him.

Li Yi reacted instantly and looked in the direction where the gaze came from.

That's a person.

At least that's what it appears to be.

The man stood motionless beside an exhibition hall in the distance, his body a little stiff, and a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"Is it the museum owner Fang Hua?" Li Yi recognized the man at a glance.

The footsteps were still echoing at this moment, but this time they were getting farther and farther away, moving towards a certain direction behind him.

This can be seen.

The footsteps and Fang Hua were two different people.

So, who is the ghost?
At this moment, Liu Qingqing, who was caught by Li Yi and hung in the air, also discovered the resurrected Fang Hua. She looked a little surprised, and then immediately said: "He has a spiritual aura, he is not a living person."

"I see." Li Yi took a deep breath, then let go, and he and Liu Qingqing fell down immediately.

As soon as he landed, his strong energy was released again, and he instantly flew through the air and killed Fang Hua.

No matter whether he is a human or a ghost, you will know after getting punched.
