Chapter 774: Stopped footsteps and a knock on the door
Although there were footsteps outside the room door, the expressions of everyone in the room suddenly changed.
The person wandering in the ghost post office at this time is naturally not a human being. It can only be the evil ghost wandering in the ghost post office mentioned before.
At this time, the footsteps outside became clearer and clearer, and they should be in the corridor just outside the door.
Since the ghost post office is in the shape of a "Hui", and the "Hui" corridor is not large, the location of the thing can basically be determined by the sound.
Li Yue made a rough estimate in his mind and quickly concluded that the footsteps probably reached the location of Room 1 and 2.
But the footsteps did not mean to stop at this time, and continued to move forward.
Li Yang suddenly asked nervously: "What should we do?"
Li Yue did not answer, but still looked at the position of the door seriously.
At this time, Yang Jian said softly: "Don't get confused first, things outside are not necessarily coming for us."
Just as the two of them were talking, footsteps in the corridor were already slowly passing by Rooms 3 and 4;
At this time, Li Yue gave a gentle gesture first, and then went straight to the room. Go in the direction of the door.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Li Yue was asking them to pay attention to their safety.
After Yang Jian pondered for a moment, he also approached the door.
"The footsteps have already reached Room 5." Yang Jian squinted his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.
Hearing his words, Li Yue nodded, but still looked at the door in front of him quietly.
At this time, the heavy footsteps in the corridor still showed no sign of stopping.
Soon, footsteps came to room No. 6.
This is very close to Room 7 where they are.
The pace did not stop in Rooms 1 and 3 where Wan Xing and Qian Rong lived, let alone Room 6, which was unoccupied.
Sure enough, the footsteps continued.
"Mr. Li, Captain Yang, it seems that the things outside are really coming for us." Sun Ruijie held his cane, squinted his eyes, and his face was extremely solemn.
He was a little uneasy, not sure if he could survive.
Because the ghosts outside are completely unknown existences. They may be very weak, or they may be terrifying. It is impossible to determine their level and degree of danger.
It is impossible to make an accurate judgment at all.
If he was alone, his first choice would definitely be to find a way to leave immediately to avoid the confrontation with the ghost.
Fortunately, now that there are two truly top figures standing in front of him, he feels a lot more relieved.
"Just keep a normal mind. There is no need to put pressure on yourself." Li Yue said without looking back.
Hearing this, Sun Rui suddenly stopped talking.
“Stop.”
At this moment, the footsteps coming back came outside the door.
The next second, the footsteps stopped.
I don’t know how these big guys during the Republic of China did it. The things in this room are obviously the most common materials, but they can block the detection of supernatural forces.
When he was in the ghost school, the rooms in the dormitory were also like this;
Even if it was just an ordinary or even somewhat broken door, Li Yue developed the perception with the help of supernatural power The ability cannot be penetrated easily.
Coupled with the original ghost post office's suppression of supernatural beings, unless Li Yue opened a ghost domain with strength above five levels, there was really no other way.
However, as a fierce ghost, he still instinctively felt that there was something standing behind this wooden door, even if it was blocked by the door.
Li Yue also tried to peek out through the gap between the doors, but the outside was shrouded in endless darkness;
It was never clear without borrowing supernatural power. See what's out there.
At this time, not only Li Yue tried to see clearly the evil ghost outside.
After the footsteps stopped outside the door, Yang Jian's ghost eyes also opened.
He also wanted to use the power of ghost eyes to see clearly outside, but what even Li Yue couldn't do, Yang Jian naturally did the same.
Even if his ghost eyes are good at spying, it has no effect.
"Damn it, I can't see what's going on outside at all." Yang Jian said with some displeasure.
Hearing this, Li Yue said calmly:
"It doesn't matter whether we can see it or not. Even if we can't see it, we all know that there is no doubt that there is a ghost standing outside the door."
Even if Li Yue didn't say it, the people here would Everyone knows this.
I just thought about the ghost behind the wooden door standing on the old wall, and there was only a wall between them in the house.
Everyone is inevitably a little nervous and even afraid.
What's more, when you can't see clearly, the psychological pressure is even greater.
"We don't know the situation outside right now. If there is a scene of a ghost attack later, don't hesitate to go directly. We have a lot of people here and have a great advantage.
In the case of being targeted by a ghost, Passive defense is the most likely to cause problems now, especially when faced with unknown evil spirits."
Li Yue then reminded.
He can sense that the ghosts outside are quite scary. In the real world, they are at least A-level ghosts.
The key is that we still don’t know the ability of this fierce ghost.
Although Li Yue could ignore these and confront this fierce ghost head-on, the people around him might not be able to hold on.
It would be unjust if other people were affected when he was fighting against the devil.
Yang Jian and others knew that what Li Yue said made sense, so they all nodded, and then stared at the door.
“Dong, dong dong.”
Just when everyone was concentrating on their defenses, suddenly a suppressed, dull knock on the door came from the door and echoed throughout the room. .
Hearing the familiar knock on the door, Li Yue's face suddenly turned aside, and a suspicious look flashed in his eyes.
This voice is very familiar.
Nothing wrong.
This is the way the knocker kills.
Knock on the door to kill.
Although Li Yue had basically never seriously confronted the knocker, he could still recognize the knocker's knock.
He was certain that the knock on the door this time was exactly the same as that of the knocker.
The moment the dull, depressing knocking on the door seemed to float into the room along with the darkness outside, Yang Jian's hair suddenly stood up, and a feeling of horror welled up from the bottom of his heart.
This knock on the door made Yang Jian feel very familiar.
He has dealt with the Knocker many times, and he is very familiar with the Knocker's knocking, and he has even used the Knocker's knocking sound many times to instigate people.
Therefore, he also confirmed it immediately.
The knock that sounded just now was undoubtedly the knocker’s knock on the door.
But the problem now is that the knocker has been sealed and imprisoned by Yang Jian with a gold box;
Even the supernatural corpse spots on the knocker have been separated from the ghost by Li Yue come out.
In other words, the knocker should definitely not appear here now.
The only explanation now is that the evil ghost outside is not the one knocking on the door.
But the exact same knock on the door doesn’t make sense.
Just when Yang Jian was confused, Li Yue suddenly remembered something that might explain the current problem.
Old man Luo Wensong was the first manager of the Ghost Post Office, but when he knew he was about to die, he used some means to break up the evil ghosts in his body into puzzle pieces.
Some of them ran to the outside world and became knockers.
The rest should still be in the ghost post office, and the ghost outside is very likely to be it.
There is no direct evidence to prove it yet, but Li Yue feels that his guess should be correct. (End of this chapter)
