Chapter 256: Ghost at Night
As time passes.

Guo You and the other two messengers temporarily figured out the situation on the first floor of the collection hall during the afternoon. They were lucky and did not encounter any ghosts. Instead, they found something that was suspected to be a supernatural item, an old hand warmer. However, no one knew what it was used for. They only knew that the thing was taken by a messenger.

The messenger who got the old hand warmer didn't dare to study it blindly, for fear that he would be killed by the supernatural object, so he just kept it and decided to study it slowly later.

This kind of gain made others envious, and they all felt that this adventure was worth it.

"Li Yi, this is the situation on the first floor for now. We haven't found anything else." At this moment, everyone gathered together again, eating, drinking and chatting.

If you don’t know, you might think they are here for a party.

But what they were discussing was how to find the ghost in the collection hall and how to complete the letter delivery mission.

"It looks like we have to go to the basement floor no matter what." Liu Qingqing said.

Li Yi said calmly at this moment: "When I was in meditation before, I sensed the situation on the underground floor. There were always noises coming out, and sometimes I sensed more than one footstep, one heavy and one light. This is a bit abnormal."

"Two footsteps?" Everyone else looked at Li Yi in surprise.

They did not doubt Li Yi's super perception ability. After all, he was a superman, and it was reasonable for him to have some superpowers.

What surprised them was, could there be two ghosts in this collection?

"Could it be that there is another supernatural person living downstairs?" Guo You asked, "Just like the previous museum owner Fang Hua, who seems to be alive but is actually dead. After all, ordinary people can't live with ghosts forever. Moreover, this time the letter delivery mission requires us to deliver the letter to the ghost in the collection hall. If there are two ghosts, this does not meet the requirements of letter delivery."

"Maybe we can just deliver the letter to any of the ghosts." said another messenger from the second floor.

"It shouldn't be possible." Guo You shook his head and said, "If that's the case, the task requirement would directly say to give it to one of the ghosts in the collection hall."

"You don't need to think too much now. We'll decide tomorrow morning after we take action and see how things go." Li Yi said, "We've done everything we needed to do today. You guys can take a rest. I'll keep an eye on the surroundings at night and notify you if there's any movement. I believe you won't sleep too soundly under these circumstances."

"How can I let you keep watch all night? Why don't we just take turns?" Guo You said.

Li Yi glanced at them and said, "Your perception is too poor. You may not even know that a ghost has walked up to you. I am different. With my senses, I can tell even from two floors away if the ghost makes the slightest movement."

At night, in a quiet environment, the senses of an evolver like him are more acute, and capturing the movements of evil spirits is as easy as eating and drinking.

If they hadn't had such a bad start after entering this world and so many teammates had died, they would definitely be the group with the highest survivability after they adapted to the supernatural powers of this world.

"I'm a ghost rider and I don't need to sleep. Let me keep watch with you." Liu Qingqing said at this time.

"Okay." Li Yi nodded in agreement without refusing.

The others had nothing to say when they saw this. They indeed did not possess Li Yi's extraordinary abilities, nor were they ghost riders. They could only help out and do things within their ability.

As time goes by.

Night soon fell.

This night was destined to be a long one.

Because the collection hall had been closed for a long time, there was no water or electricity, and it was pitch black at night. Only a little light shone in from the window. However, for ordinary people, this light was of little use. They could only barely confirm the approximate location, and it was not enough for them to see the surrounding situation clearly.

Although everyone brought a mobile phone, under such circumstances, they did not dare to turn on the light and shine it everywhere.

In this environment, even Liu Qingqing didn't dare to act at will. Although she was a ghost rider, her eyes could not see at night and she could only reduce the frequency of her activities.

Although everyone is a messenger on the second floor and has a certain amount of experience, it is still very difficult to sleep in such an environment.

You have to know that the ghost is wandering somewhere downstairs, and you never know when the ghost will come to them and target them.

But their worries seem to be unnecessary.

Li Yi sat with his eyes closed. His senses spread out, keeping track of any movements around him. Although his senses could not reach the entire collection hall, he was still able to determine the situation around him. Throughout the first half of the night, the second floor was in a safe range, and nothing abnormal occurred.

Until late at night, after twelve o'clock.

A hurried sound of footsteps suddenly appeared on the first floor. The footsteps were light and quiet, as if someone was running barefoot quickly.

"Ok?"

Li Yi slowly opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

He looked at Liu Qingqing beside him.

Liu Qingqing was leaning against the wall to rest. She wasn't asleep either, but she was unaware of the sudden footsteps on the first floor and didn't hear them at all.

It seems that ordinary people's senses are indeed not good enough.

Li Yi originally thought that the footsteps downstairs would soon disappear, but he never expected that the footsteps were like a headless fly, running around on the first floor. Although the running speed was not fast, the location of the movement was constantly changing. Sometimes it was far away, sometimes it appeared near downstairs in a flash, and sometimes it seemed to be running out of the collection hall.

"Is it constantly changing its position?"

He thought of the ability of the ghost rider named Wang Qiao, who could suddenly appear somewhere or suddenly disappear.

It seems that the ghost downstairs also has this ability.

In this case, it would be a bit troublesome to successfully deliver the letter. But just when Li Yi thought of this, the next moment, his whole body suddenly tensed up, and a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.

Trample, tramp, tramp!

Hurried footsteps were heard, and for some unknown reason the ghost on the first floor suddenly came up the stairs to the second floor very quickly. This change in behavior was abrupt and unpredictable, and the ghost moved very quickly, and had almost finished walking up the stairs.

"Liu Qingqing, the ghost is coming." Li Yi spoke in a low voice.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes. She immediately found Li Yi in the dark environment, because Li Yi's eyes were glowing, bright and crystal clear, as if there was a galaxy flowing in it, very magical. With such a distinctive feature, she could recognize him at a glance no matter where he was.

"I can't see anything, it's pitch black in front of me, but I seemed to hear some movement." Liu Qingqing said in a low voice.

"I can see it. My eyes can see at night. You just need to be alert. The ghost is going upstairs. If you need to take action, I will create an opportunity for you." Li Yi said.

"Okay." Liu Qingqing nodded.

Li Yi just stood up slowly at this moment. He did not move and remained quiet. He held the cracked short stick tightly in his hand, and stared at the direction of the stairs.

He poured a pool of corpse water at the entrance of the stairs.

and many more.

Why did the corpse water turn red?
Li Yi could see very clearly at this moment. As the evil ghost approached, the corpse water on the ground was rapidly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a moment, it was no longer a pool of corpse water, but a pool of blood.

"Is there a ghost nearby, so the corpse water containing supernatural power has some kind of reaction?" He had a rough guess in his mind.

If that's the case, it's a good thing. At least Li Yi understands another function of corpse water.

However, corpse water cannot stop evil spirits, and Li Yi did not expect that a pool of water could keep the ghosts out of the stairs.

coming!

suddenly.

When the footsteps reached a certain place, Li Yi instinctively determined the other party's position.

That's the last step.

In the darkness, a strange head poked out from the stairs. It was not the head of a living person, but a child's head. However, the child was very strange. He had pale makeup on, wore a gray gown, and a round hat, like a young master of a landlord's family. However, this young master was not a human, but a ghost, because his eyes were empty, without eyeballs, only two pitch-black eye sockets.

At this moment, his head was constantly turning, not looking at people, but listening to the movements around him.

Moreover, as soon as this little ghost appeared, the temperature around him seemed to drop by several degrees, and a cold aura began to linger around everyone.

Feeling the chill, Guo You and the other two messengers who were originally sleeping could not help but wake up. At first they thought that they were just a little cold sleeping on the ground, but then they saw Li Yi standing in front of them with shining eyes and motionless, their hearts tightened.

problem occurs?
They didn't say anything at first, but looked at Liu Qingqing.

With the help of some light from the glass window, and their eyes having more or less adapted to the dim environment, they could barely see some of the situation.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing stretched out her finger to signal several people not to speak, and then pointed in a certain direction in the darkness.

At this moment, several people broke out in cold sweats.

no doubt.

The ghost is coming!
And it's nearby.

This kind of chill is not caused by the cold weather at night, but by the appearance of evil spirits. The surrounding environment is affected by supernatural powers, causing people's perception to be distorted.

But where is the ghost?

They looked ahead with a little fear.

But in the dark environment they couldn't see anything and couldn't locate the evil spirit at all.

At this moment, only Li Yi could see the ghost clearly.

I don't know if it was because of excessive tension, but as the breathing of one of the messengers became heavier, the ghost standing at the stairs shaking his head seemed to have heard some movement. Suddenly, he twisted his neck and looked over here with a pair of dark eyes.

Then, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded again.

The ghost actually jumped over the steps, stepped on the accumulated water, and ran towards this side quickly.

Followed by the sound of trampling water.

At this moment, everyone's nerves were tense.

They knew better than anyone that the accumulated water was the last layer of warning on the stairs. Crossing that layer of warning meant that the ghost had reached the second floor.

"Are you attracted by the sound? Good thing you came, so I don't have to look for it again tomorrow." Li Yi was holding a cracked short stick in his hand at this moment. He did not retreat but was ready to fight back.

After one strike, he might be able to take this opportunity to send the letter and complete this letter delivery mission.
