The Mystic Painter of Recovery

Chapter 150 The Fourth Floor of the Weird Post Office
Zhao Yichen looked at the time, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon, it was indeed not too early. "It's time to go upstairs."

Just as the four of them were about to go upstairs, the door of the post office opened again, and a man and a woman walked in.

The people who came were Wang Shan and Yang Xiaohua. Seeing the inside, Wang Shan went to participate in the mission of delivering the letter in Dachuan City, although he was also one of the messengers.

But he just waited at home, didn't go there at all, drank beer and ate snacks, and successfully completed the letter delivery task in 301 City.

Seeing Zhao Yichen and the others, he smiled and said hello.

"We are going upstairs, do you want to follow?" Zhao Yichen didn't respond, but said directly.

This time, there was a red ball in the letter delivery mission, which needed to be held by ordinary people, so this time he didn't ignore the two of them as before.

After all, if it can play a role, then it has the qualification to speak, of course it is just a qualification.

"Let's go together." Wang Shan did not refuse.

Walking up the wooden stairs of the post office, the surroundings seemed to be covered with fog, and the haze was thick, covering the road ahead and the road behind.

There was an indescribably strange smell in the air.

There are several rooms around the old back-shaped building, and the outline of everything is gradually clear.

After walking through the last step, the fourth floor finally arrived.

However, as soon as they entered the fourth floor, everyone saw a strange scene. A male corpse was actually hanging on a yellow chandelier in the middle of the corridor.

The corpse shook slightly, and the lights flickered, as if it had been hung on it for a long time. Even the skin of the corpse became a little dry, wrinkled, and looked black and sallow.

"A person was hanged?" Li Yang opened his eyes wide. "It's not realistic. If the body is left in the corridor, it should disappear the next day. It's impossible to keep it forever."

Normal dead bodies would be cleaned up by the post office, but what if there was something that couldn't be cleaned up? "Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, trying to check the condition of the corpse with ghost eyes.

The corpse looked very strange, no matter which direction you looked at it, it would only leave a curved back facing you, and you couldn't see the front face at all.

"This should be some kind of special supernatural phenomenon. Maybe this corpse will never be seen from the front." Zhao Yichen didn't show any reaction on his face. What he was afraid of was Zhang Dong. He wasn't too worried about the supernatural phenomenon that appeared on the fourth floor. .

"Let's go, get out of here first, there shouldn't be any problems with this corpse for the time being."

Zhao Yichen jumped over the corpse and circled around the fourth floor.

Similar to what Sun Rui said, the fourth floor is really weird and out of control.

It can be seen that the door of one of the rooms is covered with black letter paper, and the letter paper is glued, covering the door crack tightly, as if to resist the invasion of something.

And some rooms don't even have the door, it seems that they have been demolished, the room is pitch black, and nothing can be seen.

Another room had an off-white door that seemed to be sprinkled with lime.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that it is not lime at all, but ashes, some kind of supernatural ashes, with unknown abilities.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, there was no sound at all, only the occasional light bulb flickering.

The flickering light came from the lamp from which a withered corpse hung.

"The fourth floor of this post office is a bit too weird, right? There are only seven rooms in total, and each one seems to have problems."

Zhou Tianyi couldn't help feeling a little worried, the atmosphere here was too weird.

It can be seen that horrible things have happened in front of every door here, and those weird traces are all man-made, obviously using various means to fight against the ghost.

It's just that the final result didn't seem to be very good. Their confrontation made the entire fourth floor extremely weird.

"The task of delivering letters this time is very important. Since the road to the post office has appeared in front of us, it must be involved in our task of delivering letters. However, we should have arrived early. According to normal circumstances, the letter will be delivered tomorrow morning after the lights are turned off. Will appear."

"The time is now [-]:[-]. We need to find a safe room as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the current situation of the ghost post office, it will become very dangerous after the lights are turned off." Yang Jian looked around the situation on the fourth floor.

"How about that room?" Li Yang pointed to the room whose door was covered with black letter paper.

Wang Shan nodded and said: "The room was artificially blocked with letter paper, which means that someone once lived there, and it may be safe."

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and took a look: "The letter is sealed outside the door. If a normal person stays in the room, the letter should be pasted behind the door, not in front of the door."

"You mean, the letter paper sealed the door, maybe not to protect the room, but to prevent the things in the room from coming out?" Wang Shan's heart trembled, and he came up with such a terrifying conjecture.

"Let's go to room 402. The ashes scattered at the door of the room carry some kind of unknown supernatural power, most likely they are used to protect the room." Zhao Yichen looked towards a room and said.

Hearing that Yang Jian seemed to have thought of something, he felt more confident. "Go, go to room 402."

Come to room 402.

Compared with other places, the door of this room is also abnormal. The ground of the door and the door are covered with off-white powder, which looks like lime, but in fact it is a special kind of ashes.

The ashes have some kind of mysterious effect, which can block the invasion of ghosts and ghosts.

The ashes at the door have not dissipated, and the ghosts should not have invaded this room, so this room 402 is safe, you can go in and rest temporarily.

Yang Jian reached out and grabbed the doorknob of room 402, intending to open the door, but when his hand touched the doorknob covered with ashes, he immediately had a strong reaction.

Smoke was coming out of the doorknob, as if lime had met water, and there was a burnt smell in the smoke, and at the same time, a severe tingling pain came from the palm of his hand.

When Yang Jian withdrew his hand, a large piece of flesh and blood had been mutilated in his palm, and Bai Sensen's bones could even be seen, which was weird and terrifying.

Moreover, this kind of wound is difficult to heal. It seems that the damage has been caused permanently, and it is very difficult to repair it.

"Can't you touch the things on it?" Li Yang asked in surprise.

"It seems that this ashes can not only fight against ghosts, but also against ghost masters, or anything related to supernatural power will be eroded by this ashes."

Zhao Yichen looked at the ashes scattered in front of the room with great interest, he was very interested in this kind of supernatural power.

It's a pity that this kind of ashes is just a one-time supernatural item, and unless the source can be found, it will be useless to him.

"Yang Xiaohua, come here and open the door, this kind of ashes won't affect ordinary people." Zhao Yichen turned to look at Yang Xiaohua and said.

Yang Xiaohua looked at Zhao Yichen hesitantly when she heard the words.

"If you encounter any danger, will you shoot?"

"I will take care of the useful ones, and what does it matter to me if the useless ones die?" Zhao Yichen said to Yang Xiaohua in a calm tone.

Yang Xiaohua's heart sank and she looked at Yang Jian, but Yang Jian seemed to agree with this sentence and didn't say anything.

Seeing the attitudes of the two of them, Yang Xiaohua also knew what to do, without hesitation, she stepped forward to unscrew the doorknob.

At this moment, she already knew very well that if she wanted to survive the next letter delivery mission, there was only one way to show her role.

Or, like Wang Shan, hiding at home, waiting for the delivery to end, and betting that he would be killed for not delivering the letter.

She didn't want to gamble, so she had to give it a go.

And the red letter is mandatory to participate, which is different from the yellow letter in room 301 before.

Ordinary people are indeed not affected by the ashes, and there is no accident that she touched the doorknob.

However, when she tried to open the door, she couldn't turn the handle and pushed it, but there was no movement.

"No, the door seems to be locked from the inside, and there is no way to open it easily. It should be blocked by something behind the door."

"Maybe there are people inside." Li Yang said.

Wang Shan suggested: "Why don't you find another room, this room also looks dangerous."

"It's not necessary, the big deal is to force it open." Yang Jian said lightly.

He suddenly raised the cracked spear in his hand. It was a weapon composed of coffin nails and a hatchet. Spiritual beings struck by the hatchet would be dismembered.

The hatchet slashed directly at the old wooden door in front of him, and the door cracked open, and the ashes on it could not stop the chopping of the hatchet.

As the door was being destroyed, there was movement in the room immediately.

"If you break the door again, I'll kill you. The messenger from the third floor shouldn't be too rampant. If you know the rules, you should know that this room is already occupied. If you want to stay, you have to find another place."

An old gun barrel protruded from the cleaved opening, and at the same time there was a warning sound.

"Open the door for me." Zhao Yichen looked at the protruding gun barrel, but said with a faint smile on his face.

As the words fell, the gun barrel protruding from the opening of the room suddenly fell and fell to the ground, and the door was opened immediately.

I have to say that the ability to deceive ghosts is really convenient, but it's a pity that the level of horror is too low.

The room opened, and a man with a dull face appeared in front of everyone.

"Sorry, he doesn't know you, so he speaks a bit harshly, but let him go for now." At this moment, a female voice came.

Looking towards the place where the voice came from, the person who spoke was Liu Qingqing.

Zhao Yichen frowned, but didn't say anything, and let go of the man.

It's not because of Liu Qingqing, but because he didn't intend to do anything to that person.

After all, the Zhangdong incident is a little different this time, although in the original book, Yang Xiaohua escaped from Zhangdong's haunted house because of Yang Xiaohua.

But now that there is more of himself, who knows what will happen to the final situation?What if Yang Xiaohua died on the way?
So it's always good to bring a few more ordinary people there.

"Thank you." Liu Qingqing thanked Zhao Yichen when she saw Zhao Yichen let go of the man.

Looking at the man again, "Brother Ying, are you okay?"

The man named Brother Ying came back to his senses, shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and his eyes became alert.

However, Zhao Yichen didn't have much hostility here, but Yang Jian looked at Liu Qingqing seriously, holding the hatchet tightly in his hand, showing the tendency to attack if there was any disagreement.

When Zhao Yichen left in Dachuan City, the matter did not end, and something seemed to happen later.

"I didn't expect you to have arrived at the post office long ago. During the mission of delivering letters in Dachuan City last time, you were really well hidden."

Zhao Yichen ignored their conflict, but walked into the room with Zhou Tianyi, Yang Xiaohua and others.

The man named Brother Ying who was controlled before looked at Zhao Yichen walking past him with fear in his eyes, his body tensed up involuntarily.

It wasn't until Zhao Yichen passed him completely that he breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking around, there was no one else in the room except Liu Qingqing and Brother Ying.

"I heard that a ghost sneaked in on the fourth floor. It is suspected to be a messenger. Besides us, how many messengers are left on the fourth floor?"

At this time, Yang Jian's voice came from outside the room.

"The letter delivery cycle on the fourth floor is very long, and only one letter needs to be sent out in half a year, which leads to the fact that the number of messengers on the fourth floor is not small. I knew some of them before, but that was before the incident happened. Now, there are only other messengers left. There are still people in the two rooms." This was the voice of Brother Eagle.

"Those two rooms are 406 and 407. As for how many survived in the room, I can't be sure, but I can be sure that the messengers in the four rooms 401, 403, 404, and 405 are all dead."

"After that incident, did the fourth floor start to get out of control?" Yang Jian asked.

"After a courier named Lin Yue and a courier named Zhao Li came from the third floor to the fourth floor, things went wrong. First, the courier in room 401 was destroyed by the group because of a change in the delivery mission, and then a courier died strangely on the fourth floor. Then after the lights were turned off at night, a terrifying ghost appeared on the fourth floor, that ghost broke into room 403, and even destroyed the door, I don’t know the situation behind it.”

"For the sake of safety, I have left the ghost post office until this letter delivery mission appears."

"I suspect that one of the two messengers, Lin Yue and Zhao Li, is a ghost. The ghost became a messenger and invaded the fourth floor, causing the fourth floor to lose control."

Yang Jian said, "Those two people are still alive?"

"It would be nice if they were alive, but unfortunately they died, in room 403."

The eagle said: "So far, the identity of the ghost has become a mystery, but it is certain that the ghost has not left this floor, it still exists, and it has a new identity, so every messenger who survives now may be a ghost. "

"This also caused the messengers on the fourth floor to be suspicious and refused to cooperate."

……

After a period of explanation, the specific situation on the fourth floor became clear.

Generally speaking, someone brought a ghost back to the ghost post office during the mission of delivering the letter, and then the ghost post office began to lose control in order to deal with the ghost.

"Chichi."

The next moment, a dim and yellow light suddenly lit up in the room. It was exactly six o'clock, and the lights of the post office were turned off.

At the same time, all the lights in the corridor outside the door were extinguished, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

However, just as the lights were turned off, there was movement outside the dark door.

"Boom! Boom!"

It was a dull thud, like someone banging their head against a wall outside.

"The danger is coming." The eagle took a deep breath and began to feel uneasy.

"The situation on the fourth floor is fundamentally different from the situation downstairs. There must be ghosts outside the door tonight, and the ghosts will be quite fierce. The room can no longer be regarded as a safe place. Invade the room without hesitation and kill the people in the room."

"What we can do is to do everything we can to keep the spirit out of the door and prevent the spirit from invading."

Eagle's tone was serious.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a dull knocking sound outside the silent, pitch-black door. This kind of knocking sound was very special. It didn't sound like knocking, but the sound of someone hitting their head against a wall.

Dull and crisp.

The location where the sound came from is easy to identify, it should be not far from the next door to this room.

If the identification is correct, it came from the room without a door.

"What's that sound?" Wang Shan tensed up.

"It's a ghost." Eagle replied decisively.

"It was the ghost that blocked the door of Room 404 and slammed into the door for a whole night. On the second day, the door of that room was smashed alive, and the messenger department who lived in that room at that time They were all dead, and my friend named Zhu Lei mysteriously disappeared in that room 404."

"But now that thing isn't hitting the door, it's hitting the wall." Li Yang frowned, "Could it be possible for that ghost to break through the wall?"

"I don't know. In short, that room is already a murderous room. You can't go in. Whoever goes will die. But what I'm worried about is not whether the ghost will break the wall of the post office, but I'm worried that the ghost in that room will leave the room and wander Come out," said the eagle.

Outside the door, the sound of hitting the head against the wall was still resounding, and the impact seemed to be getting stronger and louder.

At the same time, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the dark corridor outside. The footsteps were very special. Reality paused, then ran forward quickly, and then stopped again. It seemed to be turning around, and after turning around, he started running again.

Zhao Yichen couldn't help squinting his eyes, the fourth floor of the ghost post office seemed particularly dangerous, and of course this kind of danger didn't include him.

But he still walked to the door of the room, took out a scroll, and threw it into the corridor outside through the hole in the door.

"What are you doing? Be careful, don't attract ghosts from outside." Seeing Zhao Yichen's actions, the eagle couldn't help but say something even though he was still afraid of what happened before.

Yang Jian also said to Zhao Yichen: "Did you throw the ghost boy out?"

Zhao Yichen smiled lightly when he heard the words: "This is a very good idea, isn't it? Let a ghost guard the gate for us, and there should be no accidents in the future."

Yang Jian didn't say anything after hearing that, the ghost boys on Zhao Yichen's body were at least the ones who ate three ghosts, and after watching them all night, there was no problem at all.

At the same time, Zhao Yichen's actions also made him want to cultivate ghost children even more. Having such a helper would be much more convenient in many cases.
