Chapter 974 Sacrifice and Choice
Following the stairs, Li Yue and his party finally reached the third floor of the ghost post office.
The layout of the third floor is basically the same as the second floor, the same zigzag corridor, and the same seven rooms.
However, there is a small open space on the patio on the third floor.
“There seems to be no one on the third floor of the Ghost Post Office today.”
After Li Yang looked around, he found that the entire third floor was very quiet and no one seemed to be there.
"It seems that our luck is not very good. No courier received the task of delivering the letter today, so the courier is not in the ghost post office."
Li Yue said with some regret.
At this time, Yang Jian also had a look of regret in his eyes.
Without a messenger delivering the letter, they have no way to snatch the letter and get upstairs quickly.
"I heard that the time span between the messengers on the third floor delivering letters is very long, so the messengers on the third floor have plenty of time to maintain a normal life."
Cai Yu looked around, then said with a solemn expression.
"That's true." Li Yue nodded;
"As far as I know, the courier on the third floor usually delivers a letter every three months, and he usually has no tasks. Messengers generally don't stay at ghost post offices, except for some special people."
"What about the messengers on the fourth and fifth floors?" Yang Jian asked.
Li Yue thought about it for a moment, and then said calmly:
"The fourth floor should send a letter every six months, and the messenger on the fifth floor seems to send a letter every year, but it is not certain. If Under special circumstances, the Ghost Post Office will also arrange letter delivery tasks in advance.”
At this time Cai Yu also said: "I have communicated with the messengers on the third floor before, and they said the same thing."
Although he has sent two letters on the second floor now , but when he first went to the second floor, he was also a newcomer, so he would naturally know some old people.
The old man at that time should be the messenger on the third floor now. He naturally has some contact with the messenger on the third floor.
Just like the relationship between Wang Shan and him.
"There is no messenger and no one. It seems a bit difficult to continue going upstairs in a short time." Yang Jian pondered.
"Captain, we have climbed up two floors in one day fast enough. If we continue to rush forward, we will definitely have to pay a very high price. I think it is best to slow down appropriately." Li Yang suggested.
Yang Jian shook his head and said with a serious face:
"If you really send a letter in three months, normally it will take at least nine months to send it. Lou, this is taking too long.
I don't have the time to waste it, and even if you control two ghosts, I'm afraid you won't be able to last until that time. ”
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was a ghost controller;
And ghost controllers are short-lived ghosts, even if he has controlled the second ghost now , to a great extent, eased the resurgence of the ghost.
But easing is not a solution after all, the ghost's resurrection still exists, and his lifespan will not be long.
Even if he starts from today and uses the power of the ghost infrequently, he will die from the ghost's resurrection in the end. .
After calculation, they really don't have time to waste like this.
"In this case, we should follow the previous plan. If there are other messengers, just grab his letter." Li Yue said calmly;
"When the letter is received, as for Is it to deliver the letter according to the requirements of the ghost post office? Just tear up the letter and look at it based on the actual situation."
Hearing what Li Yue said, Yang Jian nodded directly, but a worried look flashed in Li Yang's eyes;
But. Thinking of Li Yue's ability, he didn't say anything more.
At this time, Wang Shan suddenly came over and reminded:
“Although I know that you are very strong, but even so, it is best not to tear up more than three letters in a row, as that will attract a lot of trouble. A horrific attack.”
Li Yue nodded at Wang Shan’s reminder.
Although he was not worried about the evil spirits attracted by tearing up the letter, the other party had good intentions after all, and he was not the kind of fool who didn't recognize good people's hearts.
Li Yue suddenly sighed with regret:
"It's a pity that the red letter I encountered before should only appear under special circumstances. It cannot happen every time.
It is impossible to use the red letter to go directly upstairs every time. . ”
Hearing this, Wang Shan and Yang Xiaohua’s expressions suddenly changed.
Although Li Yue didn't say it clearly, they all knew what Li Yue meant.
It is a pity that there are too few red letters.
And they all know that if they really encounter a red letter this time, it is unlikely that Li Yue will deliver the letter. It is more likely that he will directly tear the red letter into pieces.
Thinking of this, several people suddenly shuddered.
Yang Xiaohua looked at Li Yue, as if she wanted to say something, but a look of fear flashed in her eyes;
Finally, after a short psychological struggle, she spoke:
“The red letter is the highest-level letter and requires all the couriers on the first floor to deliver it. The degree of danger can be imagined.
The red letters we encountered before should be the least dangerous on the first floor, followed by the second floor. If they are torn into pieces on the third floor, the danger will not be as simple as one plus one. "
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaohua looked at Li Yue carefully and found that Li Yue did not show any dissatisfaction. Then she boldly continued:
"And you have torn it apart. I have shredded a letter once. If I tear it again, it will be dangerous. The risk level will definitely increase dramatically;
Someone has analyzed before that if the risk level of tearing the first letter is 1, then the second letter is 2, the third letter is 4, and the fourth letter is 16< br>
A messenger struggled to death and tore into pieces three letters. ”
Through what happened before, he also discovered that Li Yue and these people were not ordinary people at all.
In addition to possessing weird abilities, what is even more terrifying is the way these people do things.
She was very afraid that Li Yue and the others would continue to mess around on the third floor. She took the letter and tore it up, thinking of shortening the time and going upstairs as soon as possible.
At that time, maybe people like Li Yue can survive the attacks of the ghosts, but normal messengers like them will not have that ability.
As Yang Xiaohua finished speaking, Li Yue immediately looked at Yang Xiaohua, his eyes calm.
He neither said anything in agreement nor directly refuted it.
At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly said coldly:
"No matter how dangerous it is, if it is an ordinary letter, we may consider sending it, but if we encounter a red letter , we will tear it apart without hesitation."
At this time, Yang Jian's expression was unusually firm, and it was not a discussion tone at all, but more like a routine announcement.
“You can’t imagine what kind of impact the red letter will have on the outside world. A little carelessness can cause the complete fall of a large city.
If just killing a few of you can offset a supernatural event of this level, I will do it without hesitation, because it is a good deal. "
"You" Yang Xiaohua wanted to refute, but held back.
Being easily defined as an expendable person, she felt very angry emotionally at this time, but rationally Tell her that Yang Jian's approach is not wrong.
Although it is cruel to people like them, it is very correct for those outside.
If you and Yang Jian's identity. If you switch, maybe you will make a similar decision
Even primary school students know how to choose between an individual and a city.
But now that the expendable person has become herself, Yang Xiaohua finds it a bit difficult to accept it. (End of this chapter)
