Chapter 259: Accidental Involvement
After completing the letter delivery mission, Li Yi stayed in the room on the third floor of the Ghost Post Office for two full days. During this period, he confirmed several times before he was sure that the two ghosts, one big and one small, did not follow him. It seemed that he should have taken advantage of the special features of the Ghost Post Office to escape the pursuit of the evil ghost.

This finally made him feel relieved.

Although it was extremely dangerous during the process, it was all worth it because they successfully reached the third floor, and after completing this letter delivery mission he would not need to continue delivering letters for the next three months. If everything went well, he could wait until the next time the cross-border gate opened.

"We can't stay in the ghost post office anymore, otherwise we will starve to death here. We have to go out and get something to eat." Guo You couldn't stay there any longer. He felt that if he stayed locked in the room any longer, he would die without the ghosts having to kill him.

Li Yi and Liu Qingqing are two special people. The former controls the qi and blood, absorbs the energy of the universe and reduces the body's consumption. The latter is a ghost rider. Her body is affected by supernatural powers and she can go without food or drink. Both of them can stay in the ghost post office for ten days or half a month without any problems.

"The ghost that was chasing us should have left. If you want to go out, you can go out and take a look." Li Yi said.

"Li Yi, what about you? Aren't you leaving?" Guo You asked. He wanted to find a companion to leave with, so as to avoid encountering any danger on the road.

Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have money?"

Guo You was stunned for a moment, then said: "I have some savings, but not much. Why are you asking this?"

"I want to borrow some from you." Li Yi said.

"That's no problem." Guo You agreed immediately, and then asked in surprise: "But then again, how could such a great master like you be short of money?"

"Even if you are good at martial arts, you still need to eat. You can't just go robbing. If you are caught, you will be shot. It's better not to do illegal things. Besides, after becoming a messenger, you won't have the time and opportunity to make money even if you want to. Isn't Wang Chuan downstairs so poor now because of this reason?" Li Yi said.

"That's true."

Guo You was stunned, thinking it made sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.

"Since Li Yi, you have decided to leave the Ghost Post Office, let's just go together. We don't know when we will deliver letters next time. Besides, it will be safer if the three of us go together. Even if the ghost is still waiting for us on the road, we can still escape and avoid any accidents." Liu Qingqing said at this moment.

"That makes sense." Li Yi nodded.

The three people took advantage of the time when the lights in the ghost post office were turned on during the day and walked down from upstairs again.

They were cautious and only dared to push the door and walk out after searching the hall to make sure there were no ghosts.

As the familiar winding path appeared, several people prepared to leave the Ghost Post Office along the path. On the way, Li Yi was observing the situation. The good news was that the ghost that had chased them before had disappeared. Although he didn't know where the Ghost Post Office had taken it, it was a good thing as long as it didn't appear next to him.

And something bizarre happened.

The three people were clearly walking together at the beginning, but then the distance between them quickly widened. Then Liu Qingqing disappeared, as if she had left here and returned to somewhere in reality.

The same thing happened to Li Yi after he took a few steps.

He did not appear near the terrifying collection building, but appeared in a corner of Dazhuang City.

This was exactly where he had gone to the ghost post office last time.

"Normally, I should have been sent to the outside of the collection hall when I left the Ghost Post Office this time. After all, that's where I burned the letter paper. But why was I sent to the place where I went to the Ghost Post Office last time?" Li Yi felt a little strange, but he was too lazy to think about this question now.

Anyway, from today on, he doesn't need to deliver letters and doesn't have to worry about so many things.

soon.

His phone buzzed with a text message.

It was a transfer from Guo You, a total of 20,000 yuan.

After borrowing a sum of money, Li Yi no longer had to worry about expenses for the next period of time. He could guarantee basic food and drink. However, living off the savings was not an option. He felt that he should find a way to make some money. After all, he still had some debts of favor to repay, and if he crossed the border and left next time, he would have no chance.

"Let's continue to stay here."

Li Yi wandered around this strange city. He didn't dare to go into unfamiliar places for fear of encountering ghosts again, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay at Zheng Yaoyao's rental house.

However, when he arrived at the familiar balcony, he saw Zheng Yaoyao lying on the bed with a cell phone in her arms.

"Shouldn't you be going to work at this time?" Li Yi put down his backpack and then sat in the old place.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zheng Yaoyao was instantly surprised. She put down her phone and quickly got out of bed: "Li Yi, you're back? That's great."

"I've finished my work for now, so I have nowhere to go. I'll come back to stay at your place for a while." Li Yi said.

"It would be great if I could be as carefree as you. Now I'm unemployed and can't find a job. I'm so worried." Zheng Yaoyao sighed and said, "If I don't work to make money, I'll starve to death in my rental house soon."

Li Yi said: "Maybe you should go back to your hometown. Staying in a big city is not a good choice. I have been to many cities, and there are haunted places in almost every city. On the contrary, there are no supernatural events in some small rural areas."

"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yaoyao opened her eyes wide: "Then I have to pack up and go back to my hometown to hide. Wait, if I go back to my hometown, what will you do? Don't you have no place to live?"

"I'll be leaving in two months too." Li Yi said.

"Where are you going again?" Zheng Yaoyao asked.

Li Yi glanced at the sky outside and said, "The sky here is too bright and the sunlight is very dazzling. I am not used to it, so I want to go home."

"You're going to travel through time again?" Zheng Yaoyao said in surprise, "But you can't go back, right?"

"I didn't say I can't go back, it's just that the time is not right." Li Yi said, "And I don't see any future or hope in this world. I believe that supernatural events will be everywhere soon. You'd better be careful when the time comes. Try to go to less crowded places and stay away from big cities. If possible, just use gold to build a safe house. This is not realistic for you."

"Then can you take me with you when you travel through time?" Zheng Yaoyao suddenly asked excitedly.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Can you make up your mind to give up everything and travel through time and space and leave this world?"

When this question came out, Zheng Yaoyao was stunned.

She said this in a rush, but when she thought about it carefully, she found that she couldn't do it. After all, she had parents, family, and friends. How could she abandon everyone and travel alone?

"Live a good life and don't think too much." Li Yi said, "Besides, I don't have much money on me. As the cost of your accommodation, food and drink during this period of time, I can only give you 10,000 yuan."

He doesn't like to take advantage of others. He tries to spend money on things that can be solved with money to avoid owing favors to others.

In the following period of time, Li Yi's life was peaceful and boring. He just kept killing time and waiting for the door to cross the border to open.

In this way, half a month passed in a flash. During this period, Li Yi only received one call from Guo You, who said that the old messenger Wang Chuan who was on the second floor seemed to be dead, because he could not be contacted and did not appear in the ghost post office. It should be that there was an accident when delivering the letter.

Is Wang Chuan dead?
Li Yi was silent for a moment.

He still owed Wang Chuan a favor and was thinking of finding an opportunity to make some money to repay it, but he didn't expect that only half a month had passed and the person had died.

In addition, a new messenger named Qin Bing came to the second floor.

The appearance of this news made Li Yi somewhat happy, because Qin Bing was his teammate in this cross-border trip. Unexpectedly, he had already successfully reached the second floor. However, no one gave him the third letter this time, so he was destined to stay on the second floor for a while. But this might not be a bad thing. At least delivering letters on the second floor was less dangerous. If everything went well, Qin Bing would be able to survive until the time of leaving the cross-border trip.

As for the first floor of the Ghost Post Office, Guo You heard that a new group of people had arrived, but the mortality rate was still very high and not many people could survive.

I thought Li Yi would continue to live a boring and ordinary life like this.

Until one evening, something happened that surprised him.

on the balcony.

As darkness shrouded the place, a path leading to the Ghost Post Office appeared before their eyes again.

"How could it be?" Li Yi's face suddenly darkened.

According to the time estimation, he should not have any letter delivery mission, so why did the road to the ghost post office appear during this period of time?

no way.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the winding path back to the Ghost Post Office, and then return to the third floor to find out what was going on.

Not only did Li Yi come back, but Liu Qingqing and Guo You were also forced to return to the Ghost Post Office.

"Li Yi, what's going on? If the third floor doesn't deliver a letter every three months, why is there still a letter delivery mission?" Guo You was very surprised and asked immediately after seeing Li Yi.

"I don't know, I just got here too." Li Yi said with a sullen face: "Liu Qingqing, do you know what's going on?"

Liu Qingqing shook her head: "I don't know. I'll ask my friend about this later. He should know the situation. But there is no signal here. I have to go out and ask."

"It's very simple, because this time it's not your letter delivery mission, but our letter delivery mission. You are just unlucky and were involved in the group letter delivery mission in room 34." Suddenly, at this moment, the door of room 34 opened, and several strange messengers walked out.

It seems that they should be the old messengers from the third floor, who have now received the task of delivering the letter.

"Are you kidding me?" Li Yi immediately stared at them.

"This is the reality. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for entering the wrong room. If you went to a room with fewer people, you would definitely receive a letter every three months. After all, you went to the third floor together, and the time for delivering letters is almost the same. But there are many messengers living in room 34, and sometimes other people's letter delivery missions will involve other people in the room. I was involved once." said the strange messenger on the third floor.

Li Yi said coldly: "If we kill you, will we not need to be involved in the letter delivery mission?"

The other strange messengers were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "After we die, the mission will fall on you. If you want to do it, you can give it a try."

"Li Yi, calm down." Liu Qingqing advised: "If we kill them, it will be even worse if the mission of delivering the letter really falls on us. Now we have more people, even if there is a mission to deliver the letter, it will be easier to complete. There is no need to fight to the death."

"You don't understand." Li Yi looked at Liu Qingqing and said, "You wanted to send a letter to escape from the ghost post office, but I'm different."

He knew that Liu Qingqing had no objection to delivering letters. For her, the more times she delivered letters, the faster she would leave the Ghost Post Office. Li Yi did not need to deliver any letters. He only needed to wait another month and a half before he could cross the border and leave.

"Even if you have other considerations, killing them now will not help." Liu Qingqing said: "You know how cruel the Ghost Post Office is. We have no choice."

Li Yi lowered his eyes slightly when he heard that. He understood that it was too late for him to take action now. The moment the road to the Ghost Post Office appeared, he had no choice.

"You can do whatever you want. I won't help with any mission that is not my responsibility, unless all of you irrelevant people are dead."

He felt a sense of powerlessness and being restrained at this moment.

If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed on the second floor of the ghost post office.

With a helpless sigh, Li Yi turned around and walked into the room: "Don't disturb me, I'm in a bad mood now"

And just as he said.

In the following period of time, Li Yi was not as motivated as before. He didn't care about the letter delivery mission at all. Even if other messengers died, he was indifferent. He would only take action when a real crisis occurred and involved himself.

In a period of one and a half months, Li Yi, Liu Qingqing and Guo You were involved in two letter delivery missions.

The first letter delivery mission was completed by other messengers, and Li Yi chose to win without doing anything. However, the second letter delivery mission was too dangerous and almost all the messengers in Room 34 died. Li Yi had no choice but to help out as he owed Liu Qingqing a favor, and completed the second mission.

In this way, Li Yi managed to survive the three months.

I will cross the border and leave in just these few days.

But on this day, Li Yi received a text message from Qin Bing, saying that there was something he needed to pick up, which was placed at the place where they had crossed the border before.

After Li Yi rushed there, he got a backpack.

There were few things in the backpack: a locator, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and a suicide note.

"Li Yi, if you can get this, it means I'm already dead. I don't have anything left. If you can cross back, please deliver this letter to my family. Thank you."

The words Qin Bing left were very brief, as if he had anticipated such an outcome and had made such preparations.

If Li Yi had not survived, Qin Bing's relics would have been buried in the river and disappeared forever.

"Is he dead too?" Li Yi looked at the relics with a hint of bitterness on his lips.

Of the six people who came from other fields, he is the only one left now.

After collecting Qin Bing's belongings, Li Yi sat by the river. He looked at the familiar cross-border location, waiting for the signal to appear.

Now he just hoped that the ghost post office would not come to find him again in the next few days so that he could leave with peace of mind.
