Chapter 1945 The Importance of the Room
Although they thought a lot, neither Yue Li nor Yang Jian opened their mouths to interrupt the man who was speaking, but continued to listen.
After a moment of silence, the man did not hide anything and continued:
“The post office has existed for a long time, so accidents inevitably occur. When some evil ghosts chase the messenger, I came to the fifth floor by chance.
And because it took so long, this special situation happened more than once. ”
Regarding this situation, Yue Li and Yang Jian had some guesses, so they did not show any surprise after hearing the man's words.
The man continued:
"After the evil spirits from outside invade the fifth floor of the post office, there will basically be two outcomes: either kill all the messengers, or be Dispose of it.
And room 505 was used. I have dealt with a fierce ghost. The ghost was suspected to be involved in the Republic of China period and was very dangerous. Therefore, that room became a taboo, and no messenger dared to set foot in it easily. "
Hearing this, Yang Jian suddenly noticed. Seeing the flaw in the man's words, he said directly:
"Since the evil ghost has been dealt with, why has Room 505 become a room that cannot be set foot in?"
The man seemed to have guessed that Yang Jian would ask this question, so he immediately answered after Yang Jian opened his mouth. Said:
“That’s because the evil ghost never came out of the room again. It seems that It was the previous letter that used some means to confine the fierce ghost in the room."
At this time, Yang Jian had completely understood:
"So it's not so much the past. The messenger solved the invading evil spirits, it is better to use the room on the fifth floor to imprison the evil spirits.”
The man nodded.
At this moment, Yue Li suddenly said:
“Containing a ghost in one room in exchange for the safety of a floor seems like a good deal, but It’s just drinking poison to quench thirst.”
The man didn’t seem to expect that Yue Li would speak, and immediately looked over;
The same was true for Yang Jian.
At this time, Yue Li continued to say with an indifferent expression:
“Since there were couriers at the beginning who could use one room to deal with a ghost, then the subsequent couriers can naturally use the same method to deal with those who invaded the post office. Ghost.
After this time, these rooms on the fifth floor of the post office are no longer safe. "
After hearing this, the man was silent for a while, and then said in a slow tone:
"You are right, as time goes by, the fifth floor The messengers have been replaced, and this situation continues to happen, and now all the rooms on this floor are unsafe.”
At this time, Yang Jian thought of room 507.
There is also a ghost in that room, but I don’t know if the ghost was imprisoned in the room by the previous messenger, or if it was a trap deliberately set for it.
But it doesn’t matter which one it is, anyway, the evil ghost in the room has been found by Yang Jian and thrown out.
Now that room is safe and belongs to them.
“As far as I know, the messenger on the fifth floor only needs to complete the letter delivery task once a year. After successfully delivering three letters, he can choose to escape from the ghost post office;
In this way, these rooms on the fifth floor do not seem to be very important to the messengers. Why do they make so much trouble. "
Yue Li suddenly asked with some doubts and confusion.
Actually, Yue Li has been thinking about this matter since the day.
According to common sense , the courier will only actively enter the post office when receiving a letter delivery task. At other times, he will basically not stay in the post office.
In this way, the courier basically only needs a room to stay for one night. That's it.
In this case, there is no need to use any means to set a trap in the room.
In Yue Li's opinion, this is completely unnecessary.
When Yang Jian heard what he said, he also looked puzzled.
He also felt that it seemed unreasonable for the messenger on the fifth floor to do this.
After hearing Yue Li’s question, the man did not answer directly, but asked:
"Why do you always think that the rooms in the post office are only for temporary accommodation by messengers?"
This question confused Yue Li and Yang Jian.
After they entered the post office, whether it was personal experience or other couriers they had seen, they all temporarily stayed in the ghost post office for a period of time.
Isn’t this a normal thing? Are there any other secrets in it?
But this time there was no need for Yue Li and Yang Jian to ask, so the man continued:
"If that's the case, then why does the post office have rooms on every floor? Even if there is a letter delivery task, you can just put the letters in the lobby on the first floor;
After receiving the letter delivery task, the messenger , you can start the mission by picking up the letter directly from the lobby, and you don’t have to stay in the post office at all."
Hearing this, Yue Li frowned.
He really didn't think about this problem before, or it was subconsciously ignored by him. Now after this man's reminder, he suddenly noticed something abnormal.
At this moment, Yue Li suddenly recalled that among the couriers they had encountered before, most of them entered the post office because they had received the task of delivering letters.
But there are still a few couriers who seem to live in the post office for a long time.
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in Yue Li's mind, and he subconsciously said:
"Escape from being chased!"
Yang Jian, who was also confused at first, After hearing Yue Li's words, he immediately came to his senses and figured it out.
Although the man didn't say anything directly at this time, he nodded gently.
This is already a very clear answer.
The man looked at Yue Li with a look of surprise. He did not expect Yue Li to discover the truth so quickly.
Seeing the man nod, Yue Li was finally convinced of his guess.
In the process of completing the task of delivering messages, many messengers will inadvertently trigger the murderous patterns of the ghosts, and thus be targeted by the ghosts.
These people do not have the strength of Yue Li, so naturally they cannot directly kill these ghosts, so they can only find ways to avoid the ghosts' pursuit.
And the Ghost Post Office is the best place.
However, these couriers who were targeted by the ghosts managed to escape back to the post office and used the characteristics of the ghost post office to protect themselves.
But that doesn’t mean Li Gui really let them go.
Just because of the existence of the ghost post office, these evil ghosts temporarily stopped their pursuit.
Once the couriers targeted by the ghosts leave the post office, the ghosts will still find the messengers again and continue to hunt them down.
Yang Jian also said softly at this time;
“In order to avoid being chased by ghosts, some messengers have to choose to live in the post office for a long time, and the higher the floor, the more messengers who deliver letters, and they are stared at by ghosts. The higher the probability."
Combining what they saw and heard before, as well as what Yue Li said just now, and what the man in room 502 said, he also completely figured out the matter.
This also explains why the messenger on the fifth floor cares so much about the rooms here.
Because this represents a retreat.
It is related to the future of their lives, and the room can even be equated with life. (End of this chapter)
