Chapter 792: Oil Lamp
Yang Jian's decision seems to have come as a bit unexpected to others.
Yang Xiaohua, Cai Yu, Wang Shan and others thought that this guy wanted to shred the letter again, and then the messenger on the third floor was unlucky with him.
Unexpectedly, he had the idea of wanting to send a letter.
No.
It should be said that he wanted to go to the address where the letter was delivered.
There seems to be something strange about an address that appears twice in quick succession.
But that place should not be worth curiosity, after all, there is a high probability that the address where the letter is sent will be dangerous.
"So, you're going to go with us to deliver the letter?" Li Yi asked with some uncertainty when he saw Yang Jian put away the letter.
Yang Jian said: "I have already delivered a red letter when I was on the second floor before, and the red letter has had a great impact on the outside, I am not sure if this impact is brought by the letter, or if something is going to happen in itself, this letter may let me understand the truth of the post office more clearly." ”
"Moreover, I am not here to deliver letters, but to go up to the fifth floor of the post office, and if things are not right, I will return the letter to the post office immediately and tear it up. ”
He didn't hide it and said what he thought.
Because there is no need to hide their true thoughts from these forms, after all, no matter what they do, they cannot intervene.
"How many letters have you tore up?" Li Yileng paused, and then asked.
"Does it matter?" Yang said.
The man named Guo You on the side said coldly: "Of course it matters, if you just tear up one or two letters, that's fine, if you tear up three letters, then you can't tear up any more letters, because the impact of three letters is not as simple as one ghost attack, but countless ghost attacks, until the messenger dies." ”
"Is there a precedent?" Yang asked.
Li Yi said, "There is a precedent, I used to hear an old messenger say when I was on the first floor and the second floor, there was a messenger on the fifth floor who chose to shred the letter almost for unknown reason when he delivered the last letter, and it was the fourth letter he tore up, and as a result, the entire post office was haunted, and even the other floors were affected. ”
"Later, the matter calmed down, and the fifth-floor messenger disappeared, and no one saw him again, and the man did not succeed in escaping the control of the post office, and most likely he was killed by the ghost, and even the body was gone. ”
"So shredding the fourth letter will not only kill you, but also very likely to kill the messengers on other floors, although the ghost post office is weird, but it is also a safe place, compared to other haunted places, this place is much calmer, as long as you don't touch any taboos, the ghost post office can even provide protection. ”
"But once the ghost post office is out of balance, many messengers will be implicated and die. ”
Yang Jian smiled: "Isn't it just that I'm worried that I'll kill you all." ”
"If you want to kill us, then you must have the ability to live to shred the fourth letter. ”
Guo You said coldly: "The general messenger is already nine deaths when he tears up the first letter, only the special messenger who has stolen the supernatural power can tear the second letter alive, as for the third letter, even the messenger on the fifth floor may not be able to bear it, if you want to find death, it is better to go yourself." ”
"Guo You, pay attention to proportionality when you speak. Li Yi turned around and reminded.
"Everyone is a messenger on the third floor, usually look down and don't look up, not to mention that this mission is very special, everyone should unite and strive to tide over this difficulty, once this letter is successfully delivered, we will successfully go to the fourth floor, isn't this exactly the same as your plan?"
"I don't think these messengers from the first and second floors are unreliable, they have just come to the third floor, and they have not delivered any letters from the third floor, and they come up to intercept our third letter, this kind of behavior is not much different from sending us to death. Guo You said.
He just looked down on the messengers downstairs.
I didn't understand anything, I was still ignorant, and I didn't understand how terrible the third letter of the messenger on the third floor was.
This third letter does not know how many messengers on the third floor died.
"You talk so much nonsense, I can't help but want to kill you. Li Yang stared at him angrily at the moment.
He controlled the two ghosts, and while he grew up, the emotions of the living became more and more indifferent.
Guo You said-for-tat: "You can try to see if you can kill me?" Do you think it was luck that I entered the post office and survived until now?"
He was not afraid in the slightest.
"Captain, do you want to kill the messenger on the third floor, lest there be some blind guy on every upper floor to affect us. Li Yang proposed.
Yang Jian was expressionless, unhappy or angry: "There's no need to kill an ordinary person Liwei, anyway, this is their last mission to deliver a letter, let's go to the fourth floor alive and take a look." ”
As he spoke, the third floor of the post office changed again.
A layer of darkness shrouded the nearby wall at some point, and a wooden staircase leading to the bottom appeared out of thin air.
The new has been picked up, and the way out of the post office has reappeared.
This road can be seen by all, because they are all the ones who delivered the letter this time.
"The stairs came up and we were able to get out of here. Yang Xiaohua said.
"Get out of this place as soon as possible, no matter how many times I've been here, I can't get used to it, or the outside world belongs to us. Liu Mingxin said.
But at this moment, the woman in the cheongsam and high heels spoke: "Sir, since this letter delivery mission is our business in rooms 31 and 34, how about returning the letter to us for safekeeping? ”
"You think we're going to die first?"
Yang Jian didn't answer her question, but directly named the meaning of her words.
There is no possibility that a letter will be lost for no reason, after all, no one will be careless to that extent, and a letter can only be lost if the messenger dies.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I just think we people on the third floor are a little more trustworthy. That Liu Qingqing smiled and said, not annoyed 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, not knowing how to answer.
It stands to reason that he had already sold the third letter, and that the task of delivering the letter had nothing to do with him, but he did not expect the post office to ask for the strange request and the participation of their messenger in room 34.
And so things came full circle and came back.
If it was really a letter delivery task, he felt that the three of them were more reliable.
Of course, this kind of thinking is estimated to be shared by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian said: "You don't have to participate in this letter, I will send it, you can just wait for the delivery of the letter to be completed, after all, you have nothing to do with the address where the letter is delivered." ”
"Do you think this letter is not very difficult, so you can complete it on your own? I advise you to put away this naivety, don't look at the address of the letter is very clear, the location is very clear, I feel that you can find it along the vine, in fact, you don't even know how to die when you really get to that place. ”
Guo You said: "We are afraid that you will die there in a daze, and then lose the letter, and finally affect us." ”
"If you're not at ease, I don't mind if you come with me to supervise me. Yang Jian said calmly: "Of course, if you can survive, I have already given you the best advice, and it is your own business to listen or not." ”
"It's almost time, Li Yang, we should go, 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 am still very trustworthy to my promise." ”
After saying that, Yang Jian didn't stay long, and immediately turned around and walked downstairs along the dim wooden staircase.
Although Li Yang didn't understand why the captain had such a good temper this time, he still left with him.
"Let's go too, the letter has been taken, the address has appeared, and everyone knows what to do. Yang Xiaohua's eyes moved, and she thought about what Yang Jian said just now.
Yang Jian wanted to deliver the letter alone without relying on the help of these people of theirs.
It's a good thing for them so that they don't have to take risks.
But Li Yi and the others' worries are also right, in case Yang Jian is planted and the letter is lost, then all the messengers who sent the letter this time will be wiped out, and it is almost impossible to live.
While thinking, Yang Xiaohua walked downstairs.
Wang Shan laughed: "It seems that this time I can have good luck again." ”
He is a messenger on the first floor, all the way to the third floor, he will not participate in this letter delivery mission, what should he do if he continues to go home, anyway, Yang Jian is worried, if Yang Jian fails, he will have nothing to say if he dies, after all, he will send the letter himself, and he will most likely die if he is sent to the third floor step by step.
In case of success, he will be successful to the fourth floor and become the messenger on the fourth floor.
It's kind of emotional to think about.
made up his mind to continue to be a bastard, Wang Shan did not get involved in the rest of the matter, and soon left down the stairs.
The rest of Cai Yu and that Liu Mingxin were uncertain, they were the old messengers on the second floor, this matter was related to their lives, no matter what kind of thoughts they had, it was impossible for them to gamble their lives on Yang Jian.
"Li Yi, you are the messenger on the third floor, what are you going to do next?" Cai Yu asked.
"What is the origin of that Yang Jian, it looks very special. Li Yi did not answer, but took this opportunity to inquire about Yang Jian's affairs.
Cai Yu was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know, he came up from the first floor before, and he knew the man named Wang Shan who left just now, and he just came to the second floor before yesterday, but as soon as he came, a red letter appeared on the second floor, but Yang Jian refused to send this letter, and when many of us tore it up in front of many of us." ”
"Shredded the red letter? So you all went upstairs with this particular letter. ”
Li Yi frowned and said, "No, if you tear up the red letter, it stands to reason that you will be attacked by powerful ghosts, why are there so many people on your second floor?"
"Of course, the ghost attacked all the messengers on the second floor, and we originally had nearly twenty people on the second floor, but Yang Jian killed several as soon as he came, in order to grab a room, and then there was a conflict between us after the red letter appeared, and Yang Jian wanted to tear up the letter, and some of us were not allowed, so we fought hard and lost some people. ”
"Later, the red letter was torn apart, the ghost appeared, and more people died, leaving aside Wang Shan who came up on the first floor, the three of us really survived. ”
"Three of a dozen people survived, so it's understandable. ”
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 specific things, I only know that Yang Jian used a living person as a bait to lure the ghost to attack, and then teamed up with the person named Li Yang to successfully imprison the ghost." ”
"What, did he imprison the ghost? Where did he lock it up, somewhere on the second floor?" Guo You said with a bit of shock.
The Yang Jian downstairs actually resisted the attack of the powerful ghost, not only did he not die, but also dealt with the supernatural incident.
When did the messenger on the second floor become so perverted.
"No, he didn't imprison the ghost in the room, but in the body of that Li Yang. ”
On the side, Liu Mingxin said with a little frightened, "He said that this is a way to steal the power of powerful ghosts, and the risks are very high and the benefits are very high. ”
"Are you lying to me? Imprisoning ghosts in the bodies of living people is committing suicide, if that Li Yang had a ghost in his body, he should have died a long time ago, and it is impossible to stand in front of us alive. Guo You couldn't believe this fact and couldn't help but scream.
"We don't know how Yang Jian did it, but that Li Yang is not dead, and he is still alive and well. Cai Yu shook his head and said, "We didn't see the process of imprisoning the ghost with our own eyes. ”
"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, even if you go out of the post office, you can contact him. Liu Mingxin quickly added.
Li Yi was silent at the moment, he believed what these people said.
Because this thing can't be told even if it's a lie, it's so absurd that normal people are embarrassed to lie this lie and deceive people.
"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 ghost into a person's body. Liu Qingqing nodded slightly.
"You actually believe such a ridiculous thing. ”
Guo You's eyes widened: "Don't think I'm a frog at the bottom of the well, I haven't seen anything, I'm shocked because that Li Yang is still alive, and that Yang Jian can actually imprison a powerful ghost into the body of a living person." ”
"Neither of these things can be done. ”
Not to mention that he didn't believe it, even some newcomers in the supernatural circle were incredible, just like when Yang Jian heard that the ghost rider extended his life by controlling the second ghost, it was also this kind of thought.
"It's very difficult, it's great, but the possibility of success also exists, it's just that the conditions are very harsh, and I don't think Yang Jian has this ability, if he has this ability, the curse of the ghost post office is not so important to him. Liu Qingqing said calmly.
"Whether it's true or not, Okawa City will know. Li Yi said.
"Although the letter is in the hands of that Yang Jian, we still have to go this time, in case he fails, we can also take over and continue to deliver the letter, and we can't gamble our lives in the hands of others. ”
Guo You nodded and said, "That's right, you shouldn't think about settling-in expenses all day long, it's too negative." ”
At this moment.
Yang Jian, who walked down the old wooden staircase to the first floor of the ghost post office, found that the corpse he had seen on the stairs before had still not been touched, as if it had disappeared.
But he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.
When he arrived in the lobby of the post office, he was about to leave the house when he suddenly heard a sickly, weak cough echoing through the hall.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
Although there is only one coughing sound, it has a strange accent, like two people coughing together.
"Huh?"
Yang Jian immediately looked for a sound, and he immediately saw that there was a person sitting at the front desk in the corner.
Is that...... Sun Rui.
"Sun Rui, why are you here?" Yang Jian looked a little surprised.
He thought that Sun Rui did not come to the ghost post office, but he didn't expect to stay on the first floor, and he didn't die.
"Team Yang, what's going on upstairs?" Sun Rui's face was very bad, like a dead corpse, he stood up with his cane, limping and looking a little faltering.
"It's a bit complicated, I can only go to the third floor at the moment, and if I want to go to the fourth floor, I have to send a letter. Yang Jian said.
Sun Rui said: "That's quite smooth, you can go to the fourth floor in just a few days, which is very fast." ”
"You haven't answered my previous question, why are you carrying it in this hall?" Yang Jian asked.
Sun Rui said: "I have investigated some forms before, found some written confessions left by the original dead messenger, and found some information, I think that although each floor of the post office is not connected, the hall is connected, and everyone has to pass through this hall to enter and exit." ”
"So the lobby of the post office is the most important place. ”
The most important thing about the hall?
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, he glanced around, he had noticed this hall when he came, except for the portraits of people hanging on the old mottled walls, there was only this counter, and there was nothing else.
"The purpose of my stay in the lobby is to cut off the ghost post office's replenishment of messengers, pedestrians on the first floor will enter the ghost post office through the gate, and the moment they enter, it means that they have been controlled by the ghost post office, if I can intercept all the newcomers who come to the ghost post office for the first time on the first floor, then as long as it lasts for a while, the operation of the ghost post office will stagnate. ”
"Even if your side fails, the messengers of the ghost post office will become fewer and fewer, and finally buried in this supernatural space forever, completely disappearing from the real world. ”
Sun Rui said his thoughts, he was taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle and sabotaging the operation of the ghost post office.
"This can't be done, there are ghosts wandering in the post office at night when the lights are out, and people will die. Li Yang hurriedly said.
"Did you survive last night?" Yang Jian looked at him, slightly surprised.
Sun Rui nodded: "Although the night is dangerous, but it is not certain to die, we were misled by the messenger on the first floor, they know too little things, thinking that they will die when they go out at night, in fact, this is not the case, although there are ghosts wandering in the post office at night, but the night is also the moment when the operation of the ghost post office stops, and many incredible things will happen during this time." ”
"The only chance to find a loophole in the ghost post office is at night, and it just so happened that the first night I was attacked by a ghost and found a chance to live. ”
With that, he took out an old oil lamp from under the counter.
The oil on the oil lamp is black and smelly, not like vegetable oil, but like ...... Corpse oil.
"It's an oil lamp, and after I lit it at night, the ghosts stopped attacking me, and last night I had a very peaceful life. Sun Rui said.
"Similar to a ghost candle?" Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly.
Isn't this an enhanced version of the Ghost Candle?
It's just that the ghost candle has a very limited time to light up, and this oil lamp actually helped Sun Rui survive the lights out all night.
And the oil lamp doesn'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 stare at you and linger around you until your ghost candle is exhausted." ”
He also knows the information of the ghost candle and knows the function of the ghost candle.
"This oil lamp is not like this, I didn't encounter a ghost at all after I lit it, it seems that the ghost didn't find me, of course, I didn't find a ghost, it was like being isolated, the light of the oil lamp isolated me, and it also isolated the ghost. ”
"It seems that this is a very special supernatural thing. Yang Jian said: "It's 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, and then I picked it up. "But I'm pretty sure there is no such oil lamp during the day. ”
"It felt like someone had put it here on purpose. ”
Suddenly, he added another conjecture of his own.
"Do you think someone is deliberately giving you such a precious supernatural thing?" asked Yang Jian.
"Otherwise, it would have been too much of a coincidence, and we weren't the first couriers to enter the ghost post office, and if the oil lamp had been there, it would have been taken away by the other couriers long ago. Sun Rui said.
Yang Jian felt that it made sense.
But this speculation is a bit bizarre.
Li Yang on the side said: "Captain, it's uncertain whether the sound of walking in high heels last night is a person or a ghost, if Sun Rui's guess is true, then there must be something moving in the ghost post office at night, maybe it's not just a ghost." ”
"Are you saying that this place is more lively at night than during the day?" Yang Jian thought.
He was not thinking about this, but about Sun Rui's purpose and the timing of the oil lamp's appearance.
This shows that there is someone who wants to help Sun Rui.
And 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 who delivered the oil lamp was helping Sun Rui, then it was tantamount to telling himself that there was someone in the ghost post office who hoped that the ghost post office would stop operating, and that the place would be destroyed.
It's just that for some reason, the man can't do it himself.
Of course, this is a conspiracy theory, and the element of coincidence is not ruled out.
It's just that compared with the two, Yang Jian prefers the former.
Because there are no coincidences in supernatural events, only necessity.
It's like a ghost killing, it's definitely not a coincidence, but you inadvertently triggered the killing law of a ghost, but you don't know it.
"Captain, look, look over here. Suddenly, Li Yang didn't know what he found and suddenly shouted.
Yang Jian and Sun Rui came back to their senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, that painting doesn't sound familiar. Li Yang pointed to an unfamiliar oil painting of a figure hanging on the mottled and old wall.
In the painting is a woman wearing white clothes, long hair, and a delicate appearance.
The woman looked like the ghost she had brought in after tearing up the letters on the second floor.
Yang Jian reacted, and his eyes immediately changed.
Again, this is not a coincidence, but a connection.
The ghost and the woman in the portrait are the same person.
"Is it the messenger who died in the post office? And after his death, the ghost resurrected and was controlled by the ghost post office, and became a tool against other messengers. Yang Jian subconsciously guessed like this.
People don't become ghosts when they die, only they may be ghost slaves, ghost slaves are corpses that rely on supernatural power to move, not real ghosts, only ghost handlers can become ghosts after death, and the reason why ghost handlers can become ghosts after death is because there are ghosts in the ghost handlers' bodies.
Demons just take over your body and continue to move as you were when you were alive.
"But why do you have to hang up portraits, and the women's clothes in the paintings don't look like they are modern, they look like they were from the eighties and nineties, in other words, the terrible ghost I met yesterday has been dead for at least twenty or thirty years. ”
Twenty or thirty years ago, a messenger became a ghost rider, and then died in the post office for unknown reasons, and after the ghost recovered, he was manipulated by the post office...... Until yesterday, he tore up the red letter and let the post office unleash this terrible ghost again.
A vein was formed in Yang Jian's mind.
As he pondered, he looked at the other portraits again.
There are at least a dozen paintings hanging here, including men and women, old people and children, and each oil painting represents a person.
As for whether this person is still alive or not, it is not known.
Knowing that he could be sure that the person in the oil painting must have had contact with the ghost post office.
"Wait, oil painting ......"
Suddenly, something suddenly came to Yang Jian's mind, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable horror and chill.
The style of this oil painting is very similar to the terrifying S-class supernatural event and ghost painting.
It is also a portrait of a person, the same style of painting, and the same ghost represented in the painting.
Immediately.
He searched the walls along the walls.
Yang Jian tried to find the blank space of the oil paintings, trying to determine if the ghost paintings came from here.
But alas, he didn't find it.
There are no traces of the lost figures here.
And he also tried to remove one of the paintings, which failed.
The oil painting seems to be embedded in the wall, unshakable, and seems to be one with the entire ghost post office.
"Am I suspicious?"
Yang Jian sighed in his heart, he was a little suspicious of whether he was suspicious, some supernatural events were always subconsciously implicated.
Even the thirty-five rooms of this ghost post office can involve thirty-six seats of supernatural buses, and even those terrifying corridors of the Caesars Hotel.
"Captain, is there a problem with the portrait?" Li Yang walked over and asked.
Yang Jian said: "This matter is still a mystery for the time being, just pay attention to it, if you want to uncover it, unless you go to the fifth floor of the post office, ask the most qualified messengers in the post office." ”
"Now we have to go to Okawa City, that address is a bit special, it appears twice in a row, and I want to check it out. ”
"Yang Jian, you are still here, and you haven't left the ghost post office yet?"
At this moment, Yang Xiaohua had already walked down, and she saw that Yang Jian and Li Yang were actually staying in the hall, and she suddenly became a little curious.
"It's been proven that the lobby is where all floors are common. Sun Rui squinted his eyes and showed a weird smile: "Is this the messenger on the second floor, or the messenger on the third floor?"
"It used to be the second floor, now it's the messenger on the third floor. Yang Jian said calmly.
Sun Rui said: "Team Yang, why don't I help you kill her." ”
"What?" Yang Xiaohua suddenly subconsciously took a few steps back.
She felt a strong sense of crisis as she was stared at by this person, as if a ghost appeared behind her when she was used as a bait.
Yang Jian said: "No, there is no point in killing her, and this time the letter she wants to send is in my hand." ”
"Then let her go, but her presence makes things more and more interesting, and if I stay here long enough, I may be able to crouch not only to the messenger on the second and third floors, but maybe to the messenger on the fourth and fifth floors. Sun Rui said.
Yang Jian said: "There is no messenger on the first floor and the second floor, which has been emptied by me, and there is a messenger on the third floor, but the messenger on the third floor sends a letter in three months, the fourth floor sends a letter in half a year, and the fifth floor sends a letter a year. ”
"And I have reason to believe that the messengers on the fifth floor are not just messengers, they are definitely ghost handlers, if you really run into them, you'd better be careful, don't be careless. ”
"In addition, your oil lamp is also consumed, and it can't be lit forever, so if you can't hold it one day, it's best to get out of here, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Sun Rui said: "Team Yang, I know you are very strong, but I also have something I want to do, outside this ghost post office is Dahan City, my territory, once this place is out of control, I, the person in charge, have nowhere to run, rather than this, it is better to solve this hidden danger now." ”
"Then we have to survive first. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not dying that easily. Sun Rui said.
Yang Jian said: "It's best if you have a sense of proportion, then I won't say more, my action here is going to start, borrow your special plane to use it, I'm going to Dachuan City." ”
"Okawa City? I remember the person in charge there was called ...... Li Leping. ”
Sun Rui recalled for a moment and said a person's name: "But I haven't seen that person, I heard that he is now a captain-level figure, maybe you know Team Yang." ”
"Li Leping, I've heard of this name, but I've never seen anyone before. Yang Jian recalled it, but he couldn't recall this person in his mind.
It's a stranger you've never met.
But the name is familiar, which seems very strange.
"No matter what, you will naturally know each other when you go, but if the person in charge is someone from the headquarters, it will be easy to do, at least you can deal with it normally. Yang Jian said.
"Then Team Yang, you have a good journey, I am here waiting for your good news. Sun Rui said.
Yang Jian nodded: "You should be careful." ”
After speaking, he and Li Yang left the ghost post office.
Yang Xiaohua's face changed, she hesitated for a moment, and left here cautiously.
If it weren't for Yang Jian's words, this person would probably kill himself here.
What the hell are these three people, it seems that one is more arrogant than the other.
By no means new to the post office.
