From the mouth of this person named Wanxing, Yang Jian roughly understood what was going on with the messenger he was doing, and it was not very different from what he expected.

First of all, whether it is Wanxing, Li Yue and others who appeared in their hometown in the line they met before, or even a person named Zhang Tao who they investigated before, they are all messengers, this can be confirmed, but before they became messengers, they were all ordinary people.

He was chosen to be the Courier because of an unexpected letter.

An unsigned, unsealed yellow paper envelope.

Everyone opened the letter and became messengers, and in an incomprehensible way, they arrived at the post office.

Once at the post office, their task is to deliver letters.

There is no pattern to the letters that appear in the post office, but as soon as they appear, the messengers are brought into the post office and then delivered to a designated place within the prescribed time.

The task is simple.

It's as simple as an ordinary courier, receiving the courier, and then delivering, and the task is done.

However, there are many terrible things hidden in this seemingly simple task, as well as some rules that are not clearly reminded.

For example, you can't tear up letters, or you'll be attacked by ghosts.

For the messenger, being attacked by a ghost is fatal, but if you can withstand the attack, then it is equivalent to refusing the mission to send the letter, but this act of tearing up the letter cannot be repeated, otherwise the ghost will be more and more terrifying every time.

When Yang Jian was in his hometown, he met Li Yue and his group, and he tore up a letter, which was equivalent to indirectly helping Li Yue and them complete a letter delivery task, but the ghost attracted had already invaded one of them.

Secondly, there is a time limit for the delivery of letters, and if the letters are not delivered within the specified time, all messengers on this floor will die.

There are no exceptions.

In other words, if you can't complete the mission, you can only choose to tear up the letter.

"How many letters have you sent?" Yang Jian asked coldly.

Wanxing was still lying on the ground, pressed on his chest by Sun Rui on the side with a golden cane, and he wiped the blood on his face: "I sent it twice, and I will soon send it for the third time, so I came to this post office to wait for the letter to appear, the woman's name is Qian Rong, and she appeared in the post office with me at the beginning, but the same group of people are almost dead, and none of the seven rooms are full, but there is still one person." ”

"I don't know his name, I only know that he lives in room seven. ”

"Just the three of you on one floor?" Yang Jian frowned.

"Everyone else died last time they delivered the letter, and according to normal rules, there should be new people joining here...... Used to replenish dead messengers. Wanxing said.

Sun Rui said at this moment, "The whole building is just the three of you? I don't believe it, what's going on upstairs." ”

"Upstairs is also a messenger, after sending a letter three times, the next time you will appear on the second floor and become a messenger on the second floor, and in the same way, the messenger on the second floor will go to the third floor after delivering a letter three times, and so on. ”

Wanxing's eyes moved: "I also heard what others said about this, as for whether it is true, I am not sure." ”

He didn't dare to say it so hard, lest he deceive them and be killed in a daze.

"Three times to send the letter to the upper floor, the building has a total of five floors, there are seven people on the first floor, and seven people should be a team. ”

Yang Jian looked thoughtful: "Is it similar to the selection mechanism? eliminate the waste messengers, retain the elite, compete layer by layer, and finally come to the fifth floor The messenger must be the top guy with a mind and a top mind." ”

"I don't have strong skills, and I can't bear the task of delivering more than a dozen letters. ”

Sun Rui asked again at this moment, "What's the benefit of going upstairs?"

"I, I don't know, I just know that the delivery time is different on each floor, I just know that the higher the courier, the longer the delivery time, the longer the mission interval, so that the safer it is, and at the same time, it can have a longer security period. ”

Wan Xing continued: "Like me, there is usually a letter delivery mission every week or so. ”

"The number of missing people does not match the frequency of these deaths. Sun Rui frowned.

He investigated that there would be about nine people and ten people missing in Dahan City every day, and every day, if a letter was sent once every seven days, it stands to reason that the shortest time would be seven days to die before a group of people were killed, and it was not necessarily a group of people every time, how could some people survive.

"That's all I know for the time being, the rest of the information is really not very clear, if a few of them go upstairs, the messenger upstairs will definitely know more news. Wanxing said again.

Sun Rui slammed his chest, almost breaking his ribs: "Hehe, you want to trick us into going upstairs, so as to let you go, right? ”

"The upstairs we see is not upstairs in the traditional sense, it's a kind of distorted ghost realm. Yang Jian looked up upstairs at this moment.

His ghost eyes were peeping.

As a result, the perspective in the ghost's eye is pitch black, shrouded in darkness, there is no second, third, fourth, or fifth floors at all, those are all illusions, or these floors do not exist in the place you see, exist in another supernatural space.

Similar to ...... A ghost domain within a ghost domain.

Layered, staggered and distorted.

Yang Jian's expression was a little solemn, if this was the case, he didn't dare to invade casually, because maybe it was not the second or third floor that invaded it, but he was directly lost in the ghost domain.

So the safest way is to be pulled into the second floor on your own.

"The person who built this ghost post office is definitely not simple, all the loopholes are blocked, and there must be some purpose for this courier selection mechanism, otherwise it will not be possible to let the courier go upstairs layer by layer, but I'm curious, is there a messenger on the fifth floor?"

Yang Jian looked at the highest floor.

Without a doubt, the messenger on that floor is the closest to the secrets of this haunted post office.

The knocker fell from the fifth floor before his death.

Does this mean that the knocker was a messenger on the fifth floor when he was alive?

"I'll have to find a way to go to the fifth floor of this building. Yang Jian made this decision in his heart.

But then his doubts arose.

The ghost domain of the ghost eye can't invade the fifth floor of this post office strongly, so what method should be used to get there?

Messenger?

No kidding.

Seven days to send a letter, when does that have to be delivered?

Yang Jian didn't want to be a wage earner, so he worked hard to wait for half a year or a year, and honestly sent a dozen letters out and went upstairs slowly.

"Team Yang, I don't think this building is that simple, I can feel that there is a terrifying ghost in a room in this building. At this time, Li Yang walked over, and he said with a very heavy face.

"Huh?" Yang Jian immediately came back to his senses: "Are you sure?"

Li Yang said: "There will be no mistake, I have a sense of things behind the door, but this place is very strange, I have been affected, so the location is not clear, but I can still be sure that there must be a ghost in a certain room upstairs, and it is absolutely impossible to be an ordinary living messenger." ”

Sun Rui narrowed his eyes: "So, in the thirty-five rooms, there are already ghosts sneaking in? This is interesting, the messenger and the ghost send the letter together, how can this be played? Team Yang, what do you think?"

"No, it can't be. ”

Suddenly, Wanxing became emotional: "This room is for the messenger to live, the room will be emptied when a person dies, and it will be restored to its original appearance, and it is impossible for a ghost to get in, if there is really a ghost, the room will be emptied at the same time, and the ghost will disappear and leave together, so the room is the safest place." ”

"Oh, the messenger on your floor also knows so well?" Sun Rui looked at it and said, "You still say that you didn't hide it?"

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to hide it, this is the message from the messenger upstairs, everyone is sure of it, it is an iron law, and there will be no mistakes. Wanxing said.

Yang Jian said calmly: "Maybe you're not wrong, but this is based on the normal operation of the post office, but what if this place is out of control? There are loopholes in some places, and it's not impossible to fool around, besides, you are still so naïve after you come into contact with the supernatural, so believe in this ghost place." ”

"The ghost post office, which is unreasonable in itself, acts according to the law, the iron law is just a trick to deceive oneself. ”

"It makes sense that if you need to tear open the envelope to get in here and become a messenger, then our presence has broken that pattern. Sun Rui nodded and said: "This ghost place is not worth believing in anything, believe a lot, and die quickly." ”

Yang Jian agrees with him.

Believe in the rules of the Spirited Lands?

It reminded him of vellum paper and ghost cabinets.

There are similar rules, the skin paper tells the truth, but hides terrible traps, and the rules of the ghost cabinet make it impossible for traders to escape the curse.

When it comes to supernatural things, how can they be so pure and harmless.

"But this ghost place is not easy to deal with by the three of us, let people blow it up? Maybe the ghosts in this building will run out, but if you leave it alone, this place will inevitably continue to get out of control, and I will have to go up again when the time comes, think about it, it's really troublesome enough." ”

Sun Rui held his cane and limped forward.

"Besides, this ghost post office has already involved the ghost domain, even if it really blows up, it will definitely not work, Team Yang, this time you led the team to investigate, take an idea." ”

Yang Jian's eyes were slightly thoughtful.

Indeed, this ghost post office is very special, and it is almost unrealistic to deal with it.

"I want to go to the fifth floor. Yang Jian then said seriously.

"Go to the fifth floor, then you have to deliver the letter, when will this be delivered, I won't do this, Team Yang, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but this thing is too troublesome." Sun Ruileng paused, then shook his head.

Yang Jian said: "I know, but the important information here is hidden upstairs, and if you ask these newcomers on the first floor, you can't ask anything." ”

Glancing at that Wanxing.

I've sent letters twice, and I'm still a messenger on the first floor, so I'm really a newcomer.

Wanxing's face changed, and he didn't dare to respond.

At this time, he could see a little bit that these three people were not newcomers brought in by the ghost post office, but came to the post office purposefully.

It's specifically investigating this matter.

"You, who the hell are you?" Wanxing couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, not rampant now?"

Sun Rui laughed playfully, "I am Sun Rui, the person in charge of Dahan City, this is Yang Jian, the person in charge of Dachang City, one of the captains of the headquarters, who is specifically responsible for supernatural events, and really bullied us as ordinary people? ”

After speaking, he raised his cane slightly and patted his emaciated cheek.

"If you cooperate with us honestly, maybe you still have a way to live, if you don't send a letter, maybe you won't die, but if you offend us, you will definitely die. ”

"The two people in charge have come to the post office, it seems that this place has attracted the attention of the outside, do you want to go to the fifth floor? I have a way to go to the fifth floor quickly without following the rules of the post office, but I have to take a considerable risk, but I don't know if a few people dare to do it." ”

Suddenly.

Another voice rang out suddenly.

I don't know when, the door of room 17 here opened, and a young man who was less than twenty years old and looked a year or two younger than Yang Jian stood at the door, looking at this side with a calm face.

"You are the messenger of Room Seven in Wanxing's mouth? What is your name? It seems that you know something about the supernatural circle. Yang Jian immediately turned his head to look at him.

The young man said: "My name is Wang Shan, I was a student before I came here, and I was still in high school, because some people I have entered the supernatural circle and learned some things, but not much, and then I was more unlucky to be brought into this ghost place by a letter and became a messenger, but I came a while earlier than him, and I have only sent two letters so far, and I am still short of the last letter to go to the second floor." ”

"I don't know a few people, but I do know the identity and status of the person in charge. ”

"A high school student, you came to this hellish place and were so calm, and you successfully sent two letters, you are much better than many people. Yang Jian stared at him.

The man is in good spirits.

Wanxing's thin cheeks and vicious appearance are obviously under severe mental torture, after all, not everyone can have such a big heart to ignore the impact of supernatural events.

"It's just luck, I'm nothing compared to a few people in charge. Wang Shan smiled and became very modest.

Yang Jian said: "Don't waste time, say your method. ”

"Now is not the time to speak, it will be six o'clock soon, and the lights will go out at the post office after six o'clock in the evening, and if people stay in the post office and do not return to their rooms, they will be killed by the ghosts that wander in the post office. Wang Shan reminded.

"Ghosts wandering around the post office, didn't he say there are no ghosts?" Yang Jian frowned and glanced at Wang Xing.

Wang Shan said: "I guess there is, but it is not what the eldest brother said just now, this ghost has always existed in the post office, not hiding in a certain room, but only after the lights go out, the ghost will be active, and the time will continue until six o'clock in the morning the next day." ”

"The only thing that was safe was the room. ”

"You know so well?" Yang Jian asked.

Wang Shan said: "I have also been in contact with the messenger upstairs, so knowing this, there are still ten minutes left, I think some things might as well wait until tomorrow?"

As if to corroborate what he said.

In the old post office, the original yellow lights began to flicker gradually at this time, and the lights became more and more dim, and gradually had a tendency to go out, in addition, originally standing here and looking up to see the balcony on the fifth floor, but at this time the fifth floor has been shrouded in darkness, and it is completely impossible to see clearly.

The darkness eroded down from the upper floor, enveloping the fifth floor and then the fourth floor, and soon to the third floor.

If this continues, the place will soon be completely plunged into an eerie darkness.

"Team Yang, it's better to leave here for the time being, there are a lot of incomprehensible weirdness in this place, we are not messengers, there is no need to stay here and take unnecessary risks. Sun Rui suggested in a suppressed voice.

"It's true that safety is the first thing, but I'm here for a purpose, and I don't want to leave until I find an answer, and the three of us join forces, if there is really a ghost attack, will we definitely die? ”

Yang Jian made a decision and was ready to stay.

He was fully prepared, and he was somewhat confident in his heart.

And he thinks that although this place is weird, the degree of danger is definitely limited, after all, ordinary people can survive here.

In addition, the purpose of the post office is definitely not to kill people without brains.

If you really want to kill someone, how can you be bored and make a messenger to deliver a message?

"Okay, you lead the team, you make a decision. Sun Rui shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with Yang.

lest thou fight and fight, and fight and fight, and die himself.

If you think about it, how wrongful it is.

"We didn't get a letter and broke into this post office, so it was better for the three of us to stay in the same room to make sure we could deal with any unexpected situations. ”

Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, and he pointed at Wang Shandao, "The three of us will spend the night in your room tonight." ”

Wang Shan's face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "This, this is not good, several, it's not that I refuse you, but a room is better to live alone, if there are more people, I heard that there will be some terrible things happening, I heard when I first came here that two people have been staying in a room for the night, and the next day someone will die strangely, and there are some unclean things in the room that will make trouble." ”

"It was decided. ”

Yang Jian said with a cold face: "If something bad happens, we will deal with it, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

He has a tough attitude and does not give room for refusal.

Wang Shan didn't speak, he knew that he had no right to speak in front of these responsible persons.

It's the kung fu of talking and arguing.

Ten minutes and almost up.

The darkness overhead invaded the second floor, and I was thinking about the first floor spreading, and the lights in the post office on the first floor were dim and almost extinguished, and I could only see some walls and the outline of the building around.

"The lights are going out, hurry, I don't want to be targeted by the ghosts roaming the post office. Wang Shan said in a somewhat anxious tone.

Yang Jian didn't speak, just gestured.

The three of them immediately walked to room seven.

As for Wan Xing, whose face was covered in blood, and the woman named Qian Rong who was standing aside at a loss, after reacting, they hurriedly ran to their respective rooms.

"Bang!"

With the sound of the door closing, within a minute, the lights in the post office were completely extinguished.

Darkness enveloped the entire post office, and the first to fifth floors were plunged into a dead silence.

Even the neon sign outside the door was dim.

And yet at this very moment.

The silence of the terrible post office echoed with the sound of dead footsteps.

It was the sound of a corpse stepping on a wooden plank, and it creaked, creaked, creaked, and it was strange, and it only echoed on the fourth floor when it was on the fourth floor, and there was no movement at all downstairs, and it couldn't be heard even if you pricked up your ears.

But occasionally, footsteps appeared on the second floor, directly over a floor, as if [Lonely City Reading] appeared out of thin air.

However, in the end, this dead footstep appeared on the first floor.

Fluctuating and incomprehensible.

It seems that as Wang Shan said, there is a ghost floating in the darkness in the post office, which will only appear after the lights go out at six o'clock in the evening.
