Chapter 927 Stairs and Road Blockage
Li Yue pushed open the door of the post office and entered the interior of the ghost post office without saying a word.
But the scene before him surprised him a little.
“This is the first floor of the post office, the lobby.”
Li Yue’s brows couldn’t help but frown.
According to previous speculation, they have completed the red letter delivery mission and have now appeared on the second floor of the ghost post office.
But now we are still in the lobby on the first floor, something is wrong.
“If I had known earlier, I should have asked Ding Hui more about the ghost post office, so that I wouldn’t be like now, full of people who know little about it, making myself confused.”
The main reason is that Li Yue himself is too confident.
I felt that I had read the original work and knew a lot about the ghost post office, so I didn’t ask Ding Hui about the things here in detail.
But Li Yue himself had forgotten that he had read the novel in his previous life, and he had only read it briefly, and had forgotten many things after reading it.
The information obtained from Wang Shan and Wan Xing last time was really limited;
These two people can only be regarded as newcomers among the couriers. With their status, they are basically The real secret of this ghost post office cannot be reached.
That's why Li Yue ended up like this.
“That’s all, no matter what the truth is, now we can only go in and take a look before talking about it.”
Li Yue walked forward on the old wooden floor and continued deep into the post office.
But he soon discovered that something was wrong with the environment in front of him.
Originally, continuing along the hall, next should be the zigzag-shaped room on the first floor where the messenger lives.
But now all these rooms no longer exist;
In their place is a huge wooden staircase several meters wide, extending upward, made of the same material as the floor of the lobby on the first floor.
Li Yue was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.
“It turns out that after completing the letter delivery task and meeting the conditions for going upstairs, the messenger will not appear directly on the second floor of the post office, but needs to go up by himself through the stairs.”
At this time he His eyes flashed involuntarily.
Now it seems that although the first, second and third floors of the Ghost Post Office are separated, they are all in the same building even from the outside.
But in fact, these floors are in different spaces. If you don’t have the right path, you can’t get to a floor that doesn’t belong to you;
Even for some ghost masters who have ghosts, the probability of trying to force their way upstairs is also very small.
But the lobby is universal.
All couriers entering the post office will most likely pass through the lobby.
So what is special about this lobby on the first floor? Why does everyone have to go through here?
Li Yue couldn't help but look back at the portraits hanging on the walls in the hall.
If anything in this hall is questionable, it is these portraits that are most likely.
A strange light suddenly flashed in Li Yue's eyes.
"Well, now is not the time. Let's go up to the second floor first. After all, time is quite tight."
Li Yue then walked to the wooden stairs and raised his head along the stairs. Look up.
But I found that it was shrouded in a layer of darkness. The darkness became darker and darker as I went up. In the end, I couldn't see clearly what was at the end of the stairs.
"It makes no sense at all to talk about things related to the supernatural. It is estimated that the coffin boards of Newton and others in this world have already flown to no one knows where."
Li Yue turned around and looked behind him. Hall direction.
At this time, the dim post office hall was still empty, and there was not even a sound.
"Forget it, since Yang Jian and the others haven't come yet, let's not wait. Go up and wait for them."
Li Yue did not hesitate and stepped directly on the wooden stairs. , go upstairs along the stairs.
"Creak~! Creak~!"
It seemed that because the stairs were too old, the sound Li Yue made when he stepped on them was louder than when he stepped on the floor before.
He could even feel that as he went upstairs, the stairs under his feet were shaking, as if they were about to fall apart and collapse at any time, giving people a very unsafe feeling.
However, Li Yue was not worried at all that he would fall due to the collapse of the stairs.
Because he knows that this situation will never actually happen
In a supernatural place, the stairs in the ghost post office seem to be sustained by the wood itself.
In fact, it is not the case. These are just appearances, but they are actually formed by the erosion of some kind of supernatural power.
Li Yue went up the stairs with a calm expression.
Walking on the wooden stairs gave him a similar feeling to walking on the winding path into the post office.
The sense of distance and space was obviously affected by some supernatural force, and began to appear chaotic.
It seems that you only need to walk up a dozen stairs to get to the second floor
But in fact, even Li Yue doesn't know where you will end up.
Li Yue looked up and found that although he had taken a few steps, it was still dark in front of him, and the darkness further away condensed into pitch black, blocking all sight;
The only thing that can be seen now is this section of stairs.
When Li Yue looked back at the stairs he had just walked through, he found a similar scene.
If you are a timid person walking on such stairs alone, it is very possible that you may be too frightened to move.
But Li Yue seemed to have no feeling, walking up step by step with brisk steps and determination.
But just as he continued to take a few steps, he had to stop.
Because Li Yue discovered that someone was blocking the road on the stairs ahead.
That was a real roadblock.
I saw a person lying on the stairs, showing a fallen posture.
It seems that when I was going upstairs, I accidentally fell down, and I couldn't get up immediately after falling.
Weird stairs, weird people.
Li Yue instinctively doubted the identity of this person, or was this person really a "person"?
He then continued to take a few steps forward.
At this time, the person can be seen more clearly.
I saw that the man was wearing something like a Chinese tunic suit. He looked very old and not in the style of this era.
The most important thing is that the man's body was lying stiffly on the stairs, motionless, as if he had completely lost his breath.
In other words, this is probably a corpse.
Of course, it could also be a fierce ghost.
Although Li Yue did not detect traces of supernatural power on the corpse, he could not conclude that this thing was definitely not a ghost.
After what happened to Mrs. Liu in Fu Shou Garden last time, Li Yue knew that even if he didn't feel it, it didn't mean that there was really no problem.
If you are an ordinary ghost controller, facing this situation, it is naturally the best choice to turn back just to be on the safe side.
But Li Yue is not an ordinary ghost controller, so he is ready to step forward and take a closer look at the situation.
Whether this thing is a corpse or a ghost, Li Yue cannot be allowed to turn around and escape.
Otherwise, what use would his strength be.
Besides, even if this thing is really a terrifying ghost, as long as it does not trigger the killing pattern, the probability of being targeted is very low. (End of this chapter)
