Chapter 260 Newcomer on the Third Floor

"It looks like I'll be the only one who can leave this world alive."

Li Yi was sitting on the river bank at this moment. He had already packed his things and was ready to cross the border and leave at any time. Looking back on his experiences over the past three months, it was really like a nightmare. The repeated letter delivery tasks almost tortured him to death. If he had not been lucky enough to get a supernatural item, he might have died long ago. How could he have survived until now?

In fact, it’s not that Qin Bing has no chance to survive, it’s just that he’s a little unlucky and has no means to fight against the evil spirits. If he also got the supernatural items, I believe he can definitely hold on until the cross-border door opens again.

In the last few days, Li Yi planned to spend them quietly and peacefully by the river until he left.

"Unfortunately, I haven't earned enough money to give to Wang Chuan's family yet, and I still owe Zheng Yaoyao a favor." The only regrets Li Yi had at the moment were these two things. He didn't know if he would have the chance to come back to this suffocating and desperate world after he left.

I guess he won't come.

However, just when Li Yi was thinking this.

suddenly.

He noticed something.

He suddenly looked behind him.

A cold and dark aura appeared inexplicably and lingered there. Then, in the depths of the darkness, a winding path suddenly appeared. At the end of the path, a familiar yet strange building emerged again.

"Really? Still coming? Never ending?"

Li Yi stood up suddenly at this moment. He felt like he was being fooled by the ghost post office.

We agreed to deliver a letter every three months on the third floor, how come it turned out like this?
Moreover, there were no other messengers in Room 34 where he was, except Guo You and Liu Qingqing, so there was no group letter. Could it be that his delivery mission had arrived ahead of schedule? This was impossible.

Or maybe the Ghost Post Office has set its sights on me and doesn't want to let me leave this world?

Li Yi's expression changed constantly, and in an instant he thought of many things.

"The cross-border gate will be opened in the next few days. Even if there is a letter delivery mission at this time, I will just not go. I don't believe that the Ghost Post Office can cross the border to Tianchang City." He immediately thought of a way to deal with it.

The time period for delivering letters on the third floor is relatively long, usually seven or ten days. Li Yi is absolutely sure that he can wait until the cross-border gate opens within this period, so no matter what the letter delivery mission is, it is not important to him.

After realizing this, Li Yi calmed down a lot.

"Let's go and take a look. Just think of it as saying goodbye to Liu Qingqing and Guo You." He picked up his backpack, dusted off the dirt, and walked towards the winding path again.

Returning to the Ghost Post Office is like returning home.

Li Yi has been here for a long time and is familiar with everything here. When he returned to the third floor along the old stairs, he found that Liu Qingqing and Guo You had also arrived. They were standing at the door of Room 34, discussing the situation this time.

"Li Yi, you're here." The two people greeted Li Yi immediately when they saw him.

"It seems that the ghost post office wants to kill us and doesn't want us to have an easy life."

Li Yi no longer had the vigor and vitality he had three months ago, but was a little decadent. Perhaps it was because all his teammates were killed, or maybe it was because he had been tortured by this haunted post office for three months, and his mentality had changed a little.

"Li Yi, you should cheer up. Didn't we have a pleasant cooperation before? If nothing unexpected happens, this is the last letter on the third floor. After delivering this letter, we can go to the fourth floor. We are not far from escaping from the ghost post office." Liu Qingqing looked calm, and she actually began to comfort others at this moment.

"You know I don't like delivering letters," said Li Yi.

"But there's nothing we can do, right? If we can't resist, we have to accept it." Liu Qingqing said.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Have you accepted your fate? You have been losing control more and more recently. I feel that your aura is very chaotic, and there is another person's aura corroding you. And now you are dressing less and less like yourself."

At this moment, Liu Qingqing was wearing a cheongsam, heavy makeup, high heels, and a mink coat, looking like a noble lady from the Republic of China period.

"I know very well what the fate of a ghost rider is. I have deliberately inquired about it in Dazhuang City before. The person in charge of Dazhuang City, Wang Qiao, who I met three months ago, has died. Now there is a new person in charge. The cause of death is the resurrection of evil spirits. This extraordinary power is a disaster for ordinary people. It is considered good luck to live for half a year. Liu Qingqing, you don't have much time left to live."

"I know." Liu Qingqing's face was very calm: "But I just want to survive, no matter what method or means are used."

"The desire to survive can easily drive a person to extremes." Li Yi said, "You've changed too, haven't you?"

Liu Qingqing was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's think about tomorrow's letter delivery mission. I don't think it's that simple this time. The Ghost Post Office seems to have undergone some changes. Unfortunately, the old messenger Wang Chuan on the second floor is dead, otherwise he would definitely know something."

"Tomorrow's letter delivery mission is not important to me. I hope you can successfully get rid of the curse of the Ghost Post Office and find a way to survive." Li Yi said no more. He turned and walked towards Room 34.

Guo You watched the two people talking without interrupting. His idea was very simple, which was to survive as long as possible. As for how long he could survive in the ghost post office, he didn't know.

With a helpless sigh, he had no choice but to return to his room.

The lights were about to go out, and staying outside in the corridor was not an option.

soon.

As night fell, the lights in the post office went out and everything was shrouded in darkness again. However, the ghost post office seemed not very peaceful that night. Li Yi in the room heard some unusual noises, but he did not pay too much attention to them because he was about to leave this world and was too lazy to pay attention to some unimportant things.

As long as he can safely get through the night and receive the letter delivery mission, Li Yi will return to the cross-border point again and wait for the cross-border signal to appear.

However, when the time came to the next day.

At six o'clock, the lights in the room went out on time and a new day began.

Li Yi, who was sitting in the room, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were shining, and he immediately began to look for possible letters in the room. But strangely, the letters did not appear in the room. While he was looking for the letters, he heard many footsteps coming from the corridor outside, as well as the sound of people talking to each other.

"When did the number of messengers on the third floor become so many?" Li Yi was a little surprised.

Judging from the noise outside, there are at least four people. What happened on the second floor recently? Can so many messengers successfully complete the delivery mission?
"If there is no letter in the room, then the letter is most likely outside. Is this another group letter? Am I unlucky enough to be involved again?" Li Yi sensed the number of people outside and roughly understood why the letter delivery task suddenly appeared again.

The number of couriers on the third floor must have suddenly increased, causing the Ghost Post Office to assign additional letter delivery tasks.

"I'm really unlucky. The three letter delivery missions had nothing to do with me. I was forced to get involved. Now I'm wondering if the Ghost Post Office is deliberately targeting me and wants to trap me to death in this world."

Li Yi felt somewhat helpless, but he had to go and meet the newcomer on the third floor because from what he heard about the conversations of the people outside, it seemed that these people went upstairs too quickly, didn't understand anything, and missed some very important information. It wasn't because he was so enthusiastic, but because he was worried that these people would mess around in the ghost post office and drag him down.

Thinking of this, he opened the door.

Sure enough, as he had sensed, there was a group of strange messengers in the corridor. These messengers were now surrounding a mailbox, on which was a yellow letter.

"It really is a group letter delivery mission." Li Yi sighed in his heart, but he felt an unusual breath among these people. It was not the breath of a living person, but that of a ghost rider.

And this feeling is even stronger than Liu Qingqing's.

It seems that the messenger on the second floor suddenly appeared on the third floor. Is it because there is a new master among them?

Li Yi was ready to take out the cracked short stick just in case, but when he touched it, he only felt a lighter and a pack of cigarettes. These were Qin Bing's things, and as they were of no use, he just put them in his pocket. However, his action had already attracted the attention of these people.

In order not to alert the strange ghost rider, Li Yi, as an evolver, reacted faster than the other party. He took a cigarette, took out a lighter, and said directly: "The letter in the mailbox does not belong to you. You will die soon if you rush to deliver the letter. You should have a safe period of three months after coming up from the second floor. Isn't it better to spend these three months well?"

As soon as these words came out.

The strange messengers in the corridor all looked at him. You noticed me now?
I've been standing at the door for so long. How on earth do you manage to survive one letter delivery mission after another with such vigilance?

Li Yi's eyes swept across quickly, and finally only lingered on the two people for a moment, because the supernatural aura was emanating from them. This aura was not sensitive to ordinary people, but it was particularly eye-catching to him.

Both men were very young, one was under 20 years old, like a high school student, but with sharp eyes, the other was older, around 25 years old, and looked a little wary at the moment.

As for the others, although there were both men and women, they were all ordinary people like Guo You. It seemed that they were brought to the third floor by these two ghost riders.

"Two ghost riders appeared on the second floor at once. No wonder such a letter appeared. I had previously speculated that the stronger the floor messenger, the more frequent the letters would be delivered, and the more difficult it would be. Now that there are two more ghost riders and several messengers, it's not surprising that a new group letter appeared."

Li Yi thought while greeting: "Nice to meet new friends, my name is Li Yi, the messenger on the third floor."

He was being relatively friendly.

After all, he was about to die, and there was no need to offend two ghost riders at once. Each of these ghost riders was born evil. It would be fine if they died, but they would also be resurrected as evil spirits, which would be very troublesome.

"I don't think I saw you last night." The speaker was a young man in his twenties named Yang Jian. He walked over at this moment, and before he got close, a cold breath had already hit him.

So, among these people, is this person the leader?
"I just got here. I heard some noise outside so I came out to take a look." Li Yi said as he lit a cigarette. "It was boring outside the post office, so I came in to sit for a while."

"Come in and have a seat? We can come in anytime and anywhere here? We don't have to wait until the letter is delivered?" The young man named Yang Jian continued to ask.

really.

These people went upstairs too quickly and didn't understand anything about the information from the ghost post office.

Li Yi smiled suddenly. He didn't expect that one day he would become an old messenger. This reminded him of Wang Chuan.

He said, "The privilege of the messenger on the third floor is that he can come in and out of the ghost post office at any time, even when he is not delivering mail. It's just that most people are unwilling to do so, so this place seems empty."

"How do I use this privilege?" Yang Jian continued to ask, obviously he was really a newbie.

"stationery."

Li Yi took out a piece of black letter paper and said, "Burn the letter paper, and a road leading to the ghost post office will appear."

"Letter paper? Where did it come from?" the man named Yang Jian asked again.

Li Yi didn't say anything else, but just smiled: "If you want me to tell you, then you have to tell me what happened downstairs and why so many people came upstairs together. Six in total."

In addition to the two ghost riders, there were four ordinary people going upstairs together. This was no trivial matter.

"I tore up a red letter downstairs, and then the stairs appeared." Yang Jian said calmly and calmly.

Red letters?
"No, that's impossible. The red letter is the most difficult letter in the post office. It can almost kill all the messengers on the first floor. The red letter will only appear when there is an abnormality in the post office or for some special reasons. Not only did you not deliver the red letter, you also tore it up. Are you kidding me?"

Li Yi was surprised.

He had only heard of the red letter from Wang Chuan, but had never seen it, nor had he heard of anyone else sending a red letter, let alone tearing up a red letter.

You should know that tearing up letters will lead to attacks by evil spirits.

"This is the fact, believe it or not." Yang Jian said.

"What he said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. The evil spirit brought by the red letter invaded the second floor. There were originally more than a dozen messengers on the second floor, but almost all of them died yesterday. Only a few of us are left." The speaker was a woman who went upstairs with these people.

"Incredible. I have only heard of red letters but have never seen them. It seems that there are some beings among you that are beyond the control of the post office."

Li Yi looked at the man in front of him with a slightly serious look.

The man who tore up the red letter without any harm must be not an ordinary ghost rider. He must be very powerful. Even Liu Qingqing is probably not his match.

It seems that a serious guy has sneaked into the post office.

Without knowing any information, he could rush all the way to the third floor. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"You haven't told me where the letter paper came from." Yang Jian asked.

Li Yi collected his thoughts and suddenly smiled: "This is easy. You can come out of your room at night and walk around outside. You should be able to pick it up. However, this is a bit dangerous. After all, there are evil spirits wandering in the post office at night. If you accidentally run into one, you will be dead."

"What? Was this thing picked up when you went out at night?" A messenger who had just arrived on the third floor was so frightened that his face changed.

Obviously, he knew a little about the horror of the ghost post office at night.

"What else do you think? This thing can save your life at a critical moment if used properly. Light the letter and the road to the post office will appear, allowing you to quickly escape from the supernatural event. Many messengers will risk picking it up at night. Some people are lucky enough to pick up more and are willing to sell some of it."

"Do you need it? I can sell it to you cheaper, one hundred thousand per piece, which is already the cost price." Li Yi started talking nonsense. He just needed some money to give to Wang Chuan's family to repay the favor and see if he could make a lot of money from these people.

"How many do you have?" Yang Jian asked, and he seemed to want to buy some.

Li Yi quickly took out a large stack: "A lot."

At this moment, Li Yi felt the other party's strange look.

As expected, he was not born to be a businessman. He still needed to learn more about hunger marketing from the old man selling mud horses on Ghost Street. He immediately explained, "Don't think this is easy to do. It involves risks. Of course, if you have the courage to open the door after turning off the lights at night to pick up the letter, just ignore what I said."

The ghost rider named Yang Jian said, "Put aside the letter paper business for now. Since you have been on the third floor for so long, do you know how to get upstairs as quickly as possible? I don't want to stay on the third floor for long. I want to go to the fourth floor. No, it would be better to go to the fifth floor."

"Are you eager to escape the curse of the post office?" Li Yi looked at him.

Another person like Liu Qingqing.

Right.

Ghost riders have a short lifespan and won’t live long, so being dragged along by the post office is indeed a very troublesome thing.

"You'd better calm down. The messenger's delivery mission is not that simple. It's easy for something to go wrong with your mentality." Li Yi said.

"This is my business. If you know, just tell me and I can give you more money." Yang Jian said.

Li Yi's expression changed: "How much?"

"You name a price." Yang Jian said.

"How about one million?" Li Yi casually quoted a number. After all, it was just an exchange of information, not a very valuable thing. He felt that his offer was already very high.

Unexpectedly, the young ghost rider in front of him agreed immediately: "Okay, I'll give you three million, and you give me twenty more pieces of writing paper."

"Too careless," Li Yi thought to himself. He didn't expect this man to be so generous. He was a rich enemy.

But three million is enough. I can leave some for Wang Chuan's family and some for Zheng Yaoyao. Once the debt of favor is repaid, I can leave with peace of mind.
