Chapter 57: Visiting the Post Office at Night
It was already close to six o'clock when we entered the ghost post office, and Marriott arrived at six o'clock without much rest.
And six o'clock in the ghost post office represents...lights out...
The last time Marriott experienced lights out was the last time...
That time lights out brought about A mysterious and unknown black mist shrouded the entire post office, accompanied by the ghost of the dormitory manager who checked whether there were more occupants in the room.
Of course, the dormitory ghost is just what Marriott said casually. If we really want to replace the nickname, the ghost should be called... the door-opening ghost!
There are several kinds of supernatural beings that will cause death. Turning off the lights will cause death, opening the door will cause death, and there is also a black mist that Marriott doesn't know the function of. It can be said to be extremely dangerous.
Wan Hao has been very energetic since he controlled Li Gui, and his sleep gradually decreased. Even when he lay in bed until midnight, he did not fall asleep.
But after entering the Ghost Post Office, Marriott felt relatively relaxed, because as soon as he entered the Ghost Post Office, the evil ghost in his body was suppressed by an inexplicable supernatural force.
This kind of suppression does not prevent him from using supernatural powers, but makes the originally restless ghost fall into a kind of silence. In this state, the ghost will not continue to corrode the body and spirit of the ghost master.
At the same time in Dachang City, Yang Jian had already robbed one billion...
"Creak~Creak~"
Wanhao's attention has been focused on the walkway outside the door, always on guard. changes that may occur.
The creaking sound of the rotten wooden boards was immediately noticed by Marriott.
“Is it that ghost?”
Wan Hao stood up, and in order to better detect the movement outside the door, he came to the door and listened.
"It seems different...the sound is not chaotic, and it has been moving back and forth, as if...looking for something..."
Wan Hao narrowed his eyes.
For a moment he didn't know whether he should go out, because he was not sure that there was only one ghost in the ghost post office.
This suspicion comes from the person he robbed the ghost ashes from before.
A messenger on the first floor can have something that can suppress the evil ghost, but what about the people on the second, third, or even higher floors?
Aren’t there more things they have access to?
But there must be a reason why no one has dealt with that ghost.
And Marriott's guess is that there is more than one ghost in this post office...
Before coming here, Marriott really wanted to imprison the ghost from last time, but only if someone knocked on his door. ?
If you go out rashly at night, you will lose the protection of the room light, and after six o'clock, the entire post office is filled with a strange black fog. Marriott doesn't know what the black fog is for.
And for this reason, Marriott does not dare to easily step into the corridor after lights out...
The unknown is the scariest thing.
The sound of stepping on wooden boards gradually approached Wanhao's door. Wanhao also took off his golden gloves vigilantly, and held the door handle with a ghost hand.
“Let’s go, there’s nothing good on the first floor. Let’s go upstairs.”
A voice reached Marriott's ears through the closed door.
Wan Hao, who had always been vigilant, was startled.
“Not a ghost?” Doubt suddenly came to Wanhao’s mind.
What Marriott has learned all along from the ghost master website at the headquarters is that the ghosts are not conscious, but have some kind of instinct to kill.
Until I met Zhao Kaiming...
"It cannot be ruled out that the ghost who is not the evil ghost Zhao Kaiming is also suspected to have his own consciousness... the person outside the door may not be a human..."
At this time, Marriott remembered his first night at the ghost post office. He and Wei Ying lived in the same room and were attacked by evil spirits.
Wei Ying said that only one person can live in a room, and if there is more, he will be attacked by ghosts. However, their room was not the only one with two people living in it at that time, there were also two people living in room 11.
But that room was not attacked by ghosts...
"If the people outside the door just now were people or ghost masters, how did they avoid the attacks of ghosts? It was some kind of supernatural props ”
The more Marriott thought about it, the weirder it got.
“It is still necessary to explore the ghost post office, otherwise no matter how many letters you send, you will know nothing about this post office... let alone why someone sent me a letter and asked me to control the ghost hand in the first place. "
After weighing it for a while, Marriott decided to check out the post office.
Although he has only been a ghost master for a short time, he has already mastered three ghosts and has temporarily solved the problem of his own ghost recovery.
“If the people just now were human beings...I don’t know why they were able to move around in the post office, but I also have something that can save my life in the hands of evil spirits...”
Thinking of Wanhao, he took out a red candle from his backpack that looked like it was watered with blood.
This is the ghost candle produced by Wang Xiaoming's laboratory. The ghost candle can withstand the attacks of evil ghosts before it is extinguished.
Without any hesitation, Wanhao put on a golden glove with one hand and lit the ghost candle directly.
Twisting the door handle, Marriott opened the door and walked out.
It was dark outside the door, and an unknown black fog shrouded it, but the light from the ghost candle was green.
The candlelight excluded the black fog, but Wanhao still couldn't see clearly what was outside the candlelight. He could only rely on the dim green candlelight of the ghost candle to barely see his surroundings.
"Where did the source of the previous sound go? It didn't take ten seconds between me making the decision and opening the door, why was it gone..."
Wanhao is a little pity, if the person who just spoke is Man, then Wanhao may know some secrets about the ghost post office from the other party.
Because from the conversation with the other party, we knew that the person was not the messenger on the first floor.
Marriott’s understanding of the ghost post office came from Wei Ying, and Wei Ying’s understanding of the post office came from a messenger named Liu Qingqing...
Higher floor messengers mean knowing more secrets, which is very important to Marriott.
"I heard that voice talking before, as if it was looking for something... Assuming the speaker is a human..."
"Is there anything in the ghost post office that deserves their attention?"
Marriott has no answer.
All he could do was walk around the corridor on the first floor like the man before.
Marriott glanced at the burning ghost candle.
“A ghost candle can burn for thirty minutes without a ghost attack, but I can’t waste a ghost candle just because I’m exploring the ghost post office.”
“Ten minutes, if ten minutes If you don’t find anything, go back to your room first.”
Marriott set a time limit for himself.
Then Marriott began to search along the aisle.
Marriott didn't know what he was looking for, but something that would make the messenger on a high floor care must have a unique purpose.
As he passed by the rooms, Marriott came to the door of Room 11.
It was the same room where two people stayed last time without being attacked.
Marriott just took a casual look and didn't find anything different from his own room.
Continue walking forward, and if nothing else happens, Marriott will soon arrive at the front desk of the post office.
Last time, Marriott's golden glove was caught by a ghost, but it did appear strangely at the counter the next day.
"Five minutes left." (End of chapter)
