Mysterious resurgence

Chapter 826 Oil Lamp

Yang Jian's decision seemed to be somewhat unexpected by others.

Yang Xiaohua, Cai Yu, Wang Shan and others thought that this guy wanted to tear up the letter again, and then the courier on the third floor followed suit.

But he didn't expect that he would want to send a letter.

No.

It should be said that he wanted to go to the address where the letter was sent to have a look.

There seems to be something odd about an address that appears twice in succession.

But that place shouldn't be worth anyone's curiosity. After all, the address where the letter is sent is very likely to be dangerous.

"So, are you going to deliver the letter with us?" Li Yi asked still uncertainly when he saw Yang Jian put away the letter.

Yang Jian said: "I had already sent a red letter when I was on the second floor. That red letter had a great impact on the outside. I am not sure whether the impact was caused by the letter or the letter itself. Something is about to happen, and this letter may help me understand the truth about the post office more clearly."

"Besides, I'm not here to deliver the letter, just to go up to the fifth floor of the post office. If something goes wrong, I will return to the post office immediately and tear up the letter."

He did not hide anything and spoke out his thoughts.

Because there is no need to hide one's true thoughts from these forms. After all, no matter what one does, they cannot interfere.

"How many letters have you torn up?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"Does this matter?" Yang Jian said.

The man named Guo You on the side said coldly: "Of course it does matter. If you only shred one or two letters, it's fine. If you shred three letters, you can't shred any more, because three letters The impact of the letter is not as simple as one attack by the evil ghost, but countless attacks by the evil ghost until the messenger dies."

"Is there any precedent?" Yang Jian asked.

Li Yi said; "There is a precedent. I heard an old courier say when I was going up to the second floor from the first floor. There was a courier on the fifth floor who almost chose to tear up the last letter when delivering it for some unknown reason. That was the fourth letter he shredded, and the entire post office was haunted, including other floors."

"Later, things calmed down, and the messenger on the fifth floor also disappeared. No one saw him again, and the man failed to escape from the control of the post office. He was probably killed by a ghost, and even the body was gone."

"So tearing the fourth letter will not only kill you, but also likely kill the couriers on other floors. Although the ghost post office is weird, it is a safe place. Compared with other haunted places, it is peaceful here. Many, as long as no taboos are violated, the ghost post office can even provide protection."

"But once the ghost post office is out of balance, many couriers will be implicated and die."

Yang Jian smiled and said: "You have said so much, aren't you just worried that I will kill you all?"

"If you want to kill us, you must have the ability to survive until you tear up the fourth letter."

Guo You said coldly: "Ordinary messengers will have a narrow escape if they tear up the first letter. Only special messengers who have stolen supernatural power can tear up the second letter alive. As for the third letter, even the messengers on the fifth floor can't. You may not be able to bear it. If you want to die, go do it yourself."

"Guo You, be careful when speaking." Li Yi turned around and reminded him.

"We are all messengers on the third floor. We usually meet each other without looking up. What's more, this letter delivery mission is very special. We should unite and work together to overcome this difficulty. Once this letter is successfully sent, we will successfully go to the fourth floor. Lou, isn’t this exactly what you planned?”

"I think these couriers from the first and second floors are unreliable. They have just arrived on the third floor. They have never sent letters from the third floor. They intercepted our third letter when they came up. This behavior seems to me to be inconsistent with It doesn't make much difference to die." Guo You said.

He just looked down upon these messengers downstairs.

I don’t understand anything, I don’t understand how terrifying the third letter from the messenger on the third floor is.

I don’t know how many messengers on the third floor died in this third letter.

"You talk so much nonsense that I can't help but want to kill you." Li Yang stared at him with an angry look at this moment.

He controlled two ghosts. As he grew up, the emotions of living people became more and more indifferent.

Guo You responded tit-for-tat: "You can try to see if you can kill me? Do you think I entered the post office and survived to this day because of luck?"

He showed no fear.

"Captain, do you want to kill the courier on the third floor to establish your authority? In case there are some guys without eyes on each floor to influence us." Li Yang suggested.

Yang Jian's face was expressionless, neither happy nor angry: "There is no need to kill an ordinary person to establish authority. This is their last mission to deliver messages anyway. Let's go to the fourth floor to see if we can survive."

While I was talking, there was another change on the third floor of the post office.

A layer of darkness shrouded the nearby wall at some point, and a wooden staircase leading below appeared out of thin air.

The letter had been taken away and the way out of the post office appeared again.

Everyone on this road can see it because they are all delivering the message this time.

"The stairs appear, we can leave here." Yang Xiaohua said.

"Leave this hellish place as soon as possible. No matter how many times I come here, I can't adapt to it. The outside world still belongs to us." Liu Mingxin said.

But at this moment, the woman wearing a cheongsam and high heels said: "Sir, since this letter delivery task is for our rooms 31 and 34, I think the letter should be returned to us for safekeeping. Like? It would not be good if such an important thing was lost."

"Do you think we will die first?"

Yang Jian did not answer her question, but directly pointed out the meaning of her words.

There is no possibility of a letter being lost for no reason. After all, no one would be so careless. A letter can only be lost if the messenger dies.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that. I just think the people on the third floor are more trustworthy." Liu Qingqing said with a smile, not angry at all.

"The content of the transaction is not like this. Do you want to breach the contract?" Yang Jian glanced at the man named Li Yi.

Li Yi suddenly smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

It stands to reason that he has sold the third letter, and the task of delivering the letter has nothing to do with him anymore, but he never thought that the post office's request was very strange, and it also required their courier from Room 34 to participate.

And so, things come full circle.

If it was really a letter delivery task, he felt that the three of him would be more reliable.

Of course, Yang Jian probably also had this idea.

Yang Jian said: "You don't need to participate in this letter. I will deliver it. You can just wait for the delivery to be completed. After all, it doesn't matter to you if you go to the address where the letter is delivered."

"Do you think this letter is not that difficult, so you can complete it on your own? I advise you to put away your naivety. Although the address and location of the letter are very clear, you feel that you can find it by following the clues. In fact, If you really get to that place, you won’t even know how you will die.”

Guo You said: "We are afraid that you will die there in a daze, and then lose the letter, which will eventually implicate us."

"If you are worried, I don't mind you coming to supervise me." Yang Jian said calmly: "Of course, the premise is that you can survive. I have given you the best advice. It is up to you whether you listen or not. My own business."

"It's almost time, Li Yang, we should leave. As for the previous transaction with you, it still counts. Send the card number to my mobile phone and I will call you 30 million. After all, I still keep my promises."

After saying that, Yang Jian didn't wait any longer and immediately turned around and walked downstairs along the dim wooden stairs.

Although Li Yang didn't understand why the captain was so good-tempered this time, he still left with him.

"Let's go too. The letter has been taken away and the address has appeared. Everyone knows what to do." Yang Xiaohua's eyes moved as she thought about what Yang Jian just said.

Yang Jian wanted to deliver the message alone without relying on the help of these people.

This is a good thing for them so they don't have to take the risk themselves.

But Li Yi and others are right to worry. If Yang Jian is killed and the letter is lost, then all the messengers who sent the letter will be killed, and it will be almost impossible to survive.

While thinking, Yang Xiaohua walked downstairs.

Wang Shan laughed: "It seems like I'm going to have good luck again this time."

He is the messenger on the first floor and has made it all the way to the third floor. He will not participate in this mission of delivering the message. He will continue to go home and do whatever he has to do. Anyway, Yang Jian has to worry about it. If Yang Jian fails, he will die and have nothing to say. After all, if you go to deliver the letter yourself and take it to the third floor step by step, you will probably die.

If he succeeds, he will successfully sneak up to the fourth floor and become the messenger on the fourth floor.

It's quite touching when I think about it.

Having made up his mind to continue being a gangster, Wang Shan did not get involved in the rest of the matter and quickly left along the stairs.

The expressions of the remaining Cai Yu and Liu Mingxin were uncertain. They were old messengers on the second floor. This matter was related to their lives. No matter what their thoughts were, they could not bet their lives on Yang Jian. On the body.

"Li Yi, you are the messenger from the third floor. What do you plan to do next?" Cai Yu asked.

"What's that Yang Jian's background? He looks very special." Li Yi did not answer, but took this opportunity to ask about Yang Jian.

Cai Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know. He came up from the first floor before and met the man named Wang Shan who left just now. He just came to the second floor the day before yesterday, but as soon as he came, a letter appeared on the second floor. A red letter, but Yang Jian refused to send the letter and tore it into pieces in front of many of us."

"Tear up the red letter? So you all went upstairs with this special letter."

Li Yi frowned and said, "That's not right. If you tear up the red letter, you will be attacked by evil spirits. Why are there so many people on your second floor?"

"Of course Li Gui attacked all the messengers on the second floor. We originally had nearly twenty people on the second floor in total, but as soon as Yang Jian came, he killed several of them in order to grab a room, and then the red letter appeared. Then there was a conflict between us. Yang Jian wanted to tear up the letter and some of us were not allowed to do it, so we had a fight and lost some people."

"Later, the red letter was torn into pieces, the evil ghost appeared, and more people died. Excluding Wang Shan who came up from the first floor, the only three of us who survived."

"Three of a dozen people survived, so you can understand."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Then how to deal with the ghost in the end."

Cai Yu's face moved slightly: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that Yang Jian used living people as bait to lure the ghosts to attack, and then teamed up with the man named Li Yang to successfully imprison the ghosts."

"What, he imprisoned the ghost? Where, in a room on the second floor?" Guo You said with a bit of shock.

The Yang Jian downstairs actually resisted the attack of the ghost and not only did he not die, but he also dealt with the supernatural incident.

When did the messenger on the second floor become so perverted?

"No, he did not imprison the ghost in the room, but imprisoned the ghost in that Li Yang's body."

On the side, Liu Mingxin said with a hint of horror; "He said this is a way to steal the power of the ghost, which is very risky and very profitable."

"Are you lying to me? Imprisoning a ghost in the body of a living person is committing suicide. If Li Yang had a ghost in his body, he should have died long ago. He would not be able to stand in front of us alive. ." Guo You couldn't believe this fact and couldn't help shouting.

"We don't know what Yang Jian did, but that Li Yang is not dead, and is still alive and well." Cai Yu shook his head and said: "We didn't see with our own eyes the process of imprisoning the evil ghost."

"By the way, Yang Xiaohua saw it. She was the living bait at that time. If you want to know more, you can ask her. I have her contact information. You can contact him even after leaving the post office." Liu Mingxin quickly 's added.

Li Yi was silent at this moment. He believed what these people said.

Because this matter cannot be told even if it is a lie. It is too absurd. Normal people with brains would be embarrassed to tell people this lie.

"Liu Qingqing, what do you think?" Li Yi looked at the woman.

"What they said is true. That Yang Jian should have really imprisoned the evil spirit into a person's body." Liu Qingqing nodded slightly.

"You actually believe such a ridiculous thing."

Guo You opened his eyes wide: "Don't think that I am a frog in the well who has never seen anything. I am shocked because that Li Yang is still alive and that Yang Jian can actually imprison a fierce ghost into the body of a living person. "

"It's impossible to do both."

Not to mention that he didn't believe it, even some newcomers in the supernatural circle found it unbelievable. Just like when Yang Jian heard that the ghost controller could extend his life by controlling a second ghost, he had the same idea.

"It's very difficult, very big, but the possibility of success also exists, but the conditions are very harsh. I don't think Yang Jian has this ability. If he has this ability, the curse of the Ghost Post Office will be very difficult for him." I'm afraid it's not that important anymore." Liu Qingqing said calmly.

"Whether it is true or not, Dachuan City will find out." Li Yi said.

"Although the letter is in the hands of Yang Jian, we still have to go on this trip. If he fails, we can take over and continue to deliver the letter. We cannot bet our lives in the hands of others."

Guo You nodded and said, "That's right. You shouldn't think about housing expenses all day long. It's too negative."

At this moment.

Yang Jian, who followed the old wooden stairs to the first floor of the ghost post office, found that the body he saw on the stairs before was still not touched, as if it had disappeared.

But he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

When he arrived at the post office lobby and was about to go out, he suddenly heard a sick, weak cough echoing in the lobby.

"Cough, cough."

Although there was only one cough, it had a strange accent, as if two people were coughing together.

"Um?"

Yang Jian immediately looked for the sound, and he immediately saw a person sitting on the front desk in the corner.

That's Sun Rui.

"Sun Rui? Why are you here?" Yang Jian looked a little surprised.

He thought Sun Rui didn't come to the ghost post office, but he didn't expect that he actually stayed on the first floor, and he didn't die.

"Captain Yang? How is the situation upstairs?" Sun Rui's face looked very bad, like a corpse that died of illness. He stood up with a cane, limping a little and seemed to be stumbling.

"The situation is a bit complicated. I can only go to the third floor now. If I want to go to the fourth floor, I have to send a letter." Yang Jian said.

Sun Rui said: "That's pretty smooth. It only takes a few days for you to go to the fourth floor. It's very fast."

"You haven't answered my previous question, why are you here in the hall?" Yang Jian asked.

Sun Rui said: "I have investigated some forms before, found some written confessions left by dead couriers, and discovered some situations. I think that although each floor of the post office is not connected, the lobby is connected, and everyone You have to go through this hall when entering or leaving."

"So the lobby of the post office is the most important place."

The lobby is the most important?

Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced around. He had noticed this hall when he came here. Apart from the portraits of people hanging on the old and mottled walls, there was only this counter, and the others were There is nothing left.

"The purpose of my stay in the lobby is to cut off the ghost post office's supply of couriers. Pedestrians on the first floor will enter the ghost post office through the gate, and the moment they enter, it means they have been controlled by the ghost post office. If I can If the first floor intercepts all newcomers who come to the Ghost Post Office for the first time, then as long as you persist for a period of time, the operation of the Ghost Post Office will stagnate."

"Even if you fail, there will be fewer and fewer messengers from the Ghost Post Office, and they will be buried in this supernatural space forever, completely disappearing from the real world."

Sun Rui expressed his thoughts. He was trying to take the trouble out of the cauldron and undermine the operation of the ghost post office.

"It can't be done. There are evil spirits wandering around the post office at night, and people will die." Li Yang said hurriedly.

"Did you survive last night?" Yang Jian looked at him, slightly surprised.

Sun Rui nodded: "Although the night is dangerous, it is not certain to die. We were misled by the couriers on the first floor. They knew too little and thought that going out at night would lead to death. In fact, this is not the case. Although the post office at night There are evil ghosts wandering around, but it is also the time when the ghost post office stops functioning at night, and many incredible things will happen during this time."

"If you want to find a loophole in the ghost post office, night is the only chance. It just so happened that I found a chance to survive when I was attacked by a ghost on the first night."

After saying that, he took out an old oil lamp from under the counter.

The oil on the oil lamp was black and smelly. It didn't look like vegetable oil, but more like corpse oil.

"This is an oil lamp. After I light it at night, the evil ghosts no longer attack me. I had a very peaceful life last night." Sun Rui said.

"Similar to Guizhu?" Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly.

Isn't this the enhanced version of Guizhu?

It's just that the ghost candle's lighting time is very limited, and this oil lamp actually helped Sun Rui survive the lights-out moment all night.

And the oil lamp didn't seem to consume much.

Sun Rui said: "No, this is definitely not a ghost candle. The ghost candle can isolate the attack of the ghost, but the ghost will still focus on you and wander around you until the ghost candle is exhausted."

He also knows the information about Guizhu and its function.

"That's not the case with this oil lamp. I didn't encounter ghosts at all after I lit it. It seemed that the ghosts didn't notice me. Of course, I didn't notice the ghosts either. It was like I was isolated. The light of the oil lamp isolated me and the ghosts. .”

"It seems that this is a very special supernatural thing." Yang Jian said: "It is much more precious than the ghost candle. How did you find it?"

"When I was walking around at night, I accidentally tripped over this thing and almost fell down, and then I picked it up." Sun Rui said, "But I'm pretty sure that there was no such oil lamp at all during the day."

"It feels like someone put it here on purpose."

Suddenly, he added another guess of his own.

"Do you think someone is giving you such a precious supernatural thing on purpose?" Yang Jian asked.

"Otherwise, all this would be too coincidental, and we are not the first batch of messengers to enter the ghost post office. If the oil lamp had always existed, it would have been taken away by other messengers long ago." Sun Rui said.

Yang Jian thinks it makes sense.

But this guess is a bit bizarre.

Li Yang on the side said: "Captain, it's not sure whether the sound of walking in high heels last night was a human being or a ghost. If Sun Rui's guess is true, then there must be something active in the ghost post office at night, and it may not just be a ghost."

"You mean this place is more lively at night than during the day?" Yang Jian started thinking.

What he was thinking about was not this, but Sun Rui's purpose and the timing of the oil lamp's appearance.

This made it clear that someone wanted to help Sun Rui.

What Sun Rui has to do is to kill the newcomers who enter the ghost post office and cut off the operation of the ghost post office.

If the person delivering the oil lamp was helping Sun Rui, then he was telling himself that someone in the ghost post office wanted the ghost post office to stop operating and that the place was destroyed.

It's just that for some reason that person couldn't do it himself.

Of course, this is a conspiracy theory, and coincidence cannot be ruled out.

But comparing the two, Yang Jian prefers the former.

Because there are no coincidences in supernatural events, only inevitability.

Just like ghosts killing people, it's definitely not a coincidence, but you have inadvertently triggered the ghost's killing pattern, but you don't know it.

"Captain, look, look here quickly." Suddenly, Li Yang suddenly shouted without knowing what he had discovered.

Yang Jian and Sun Rui came to their senses.

"What's wrong?"

"Captain, does that painting look familiar?" Li Yang pointed to an oil painting of an unfamiliar figure hanging on the mottled old wall.

The painting shows a woman wearing white clothes, with long hair and a delicate appearance.

That woman looked very much like the evil ghost that was attracted after tearing up the letters on the second floor.

Yang Jian reacted, and his eyes immediately changed.

This is also not a coincidence, but a connection.

The ghost and the woman in the portrait are the same person.

"Is it the courier who died in the post office? Then the ghost recovered after death and was controlled by the ghost post office, becoming a tool to deal with other couriers." Yang Jian subconsciously guessed like this.

People will not become ghosts after death, they can only become ghost slaves. Ghost slaves are corpses that rely on supernatural power to move. They are not real ghosts. Only ghost masters can become ghosts after death. The reason why ghost masters The reason why you can become a ghost after death is because the ghost master has ghosts in your body.

The ghost just takes over your body and continues to act as you did when you were alive.

"But why are there portraits of people hanging up again? Moreover, the clothing style of the woman in the painting does not look like modern times, but looks like it was from the 1980s and 1990s. In other words, the evil ghost we met yesterday has been dead for at least 20 or 30 years. .”

Twenty or thirty years ago, a messenger became a ghost controller, and then died in the post office for unknown reasons. After the ghost recovered, he was controlled by the post office until yesterday, when he tore up the red letter and asked the post office to release the ghost again.

A thread formed in Yang Jian's mind.

While thinking, he looked at the other portraits again.

There are at least a dozen paintings hanging here, including men and women, old people and children. Each oil painting represents a person.

It is not known whether this person is still alive.

Knowing that he can be sure that the people in the oil paintings must have had contact with the ghost post office.

"Wait, oil painting"

Suddenly, something suddenly came to mind in Yang Jian's mind, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of horror and chill.

The style of this oil painting is very similar to the terrifying S-class supernatural events and ghost paintings.

It’s the same portrait, the same painting style, and the same ghost represented in the painting.

Immediately.

He searched along the pictures on the wall.

Yang Jian tried to find the blank spaces in these oil paintings to determine whether the ghost paintings came from here.

But unfortunately, he didn't find it.

There are no traces of missing figures in the oil paintings here.

He also tried to remove one of the paintings, but failed.

The oil painting seemed to be embedded in the wall, unshakable, and seemed to be one with the entire ghost post office.

"Am I being paranoid?"

Yang Jian sighed in his heart. He was a little suspicious of whether he was suspicious. Some supernatural events were always subconsciously involved.

Even the thirty-five rooms of this ghost post office can involve a thirty-six-seat supernatural bus, and even the terrifying corridors of the Caesar Hotel.

"Captain, is there anything wrong with the portrait?" Li Yang came over and asked.

Yang Jian said: "This matter is still a mystery for the time being. Just pay attention. If you want to find out, you have to go to the fifth floor of the post office and ask the oldest couriers in the post office."

"Now we have to take a trip to Dachuan City. That address is a bit special. It appeared twice in succession. I want to see it."

"Yang Jian, you are still here and haven't left the ghost post office yet?"

At this moment, Yang Xiaohua had already walked down. When she saw Yang Jian and Li Yang staying in the hall, she suddenly became curious.

"It has been confirmed that the lobby is the common place for all floors." Sun Rui squinted his eyes and showed a strange smile: "Is this the messenger on the second floor or the third floor?"

"It used to be the second floor, but now it's the messenger on the third floor." Yang Jian said calmly.

Sun Rui said: "Captain Yang, why don't I help you kill her."

"What?" Yang Xiaohua immediately took several steps back subconsciously.

She felt a strong crisis when being stared at by this person, just like when a ghost appeared behind her when she was being used as bait.

Yang Jian said: "No, there is no point in killing her, and the letter she wants to send this time is in my hands."

"Then let her go, but her appearance makes things more interesting. If I stay here long enough, I may not only be able to squat to the second and third floors of the messenger, but maybe I can also squat to the fourth and fifth floors. Lou's messenger," Sun Rui said.

Yang Jian said: "There are no messengers on the first and second floors anymore. They were cleared by me. There are messengers on the third floor, but the messengers on the third floor deliver a letter every three months, on the fourth floor they deliver a letter every half a year, and on the fifth floor they deliver a letter once a year." For a letter, the probability of you squatting down to the courier on the third floor is high, but the probability of the courier on the fourth and fifth floors is very small."

"And I have reason to believe that the messengers on the fifth floor are not just messengers, they are definitely ghost masters. If you really encounter them, you'd better be careful and don't be careless."

"In addition, your oil lamp is also consumed, and it cannot be lit forever, so if one day you can't hold it anymore, it's best to leave here, and I will handle the rest."

Sun Rui said: "Captain Yang, I know you are very powerful, but I also have things I have to do. Outside this post office is Dahan City. It is my territory. Once this place gets out of control, I, the person in charge, will have nowhere to run. Rather than doing this, it is better to solve this hidden danger now.”

"Then we have to survive first."

"Don't worry, I won't die that easily." Sun Rui said.

Yang Jian said: "It's best if you are sensible, so I won't say any more. I'm going to start my action here. I'll lend you a special plane for a while. I'm going to Dachuan City."

"Dachuan City? I remember the person in charge there is named Li Leping."

Sun Rui recalled for a while and named a person: "But I have never met that person. I heard that he is now a captain-level figure. Maybe you know Captain Yang."

"Li Leping? I have heard of this name, but I have never seen the person." Yang Jian recalled it, but he couldn't recall this person in his mind.

A stranger whom I have never met before.

But the name is very familiar, which seems very strange.

"No matter what, you will get to know each other when you go there, but if the person in charge is from the headquarters, it will be easier. At least we can deal with him normally." Yang Jian said.

"Well, Captain Yang, you have a good journey. I'm waiting for good news for you here." Sun Rui said.

Yang Jian nodded: "Be careful too."

After saying that, he and Li Yang left the ghost post office.

Yang Xiaohua's expression changed. She hesitated for a moment and then left carefully.

If it weren't for Yang Jian's words, this person would probably kill himself here.

What are the backgrounds of these three people? Each seems to be more arrogant than the other.

By no means new to the post office.
