Chapter 340: Chapter 235 Post Office

In this dark world, it seemed like only this winding path existed. The four people continued to move along this path, constantly observing their surroundings, but they could not make out anything of substance, even as Evolvers.

Moreover, as they moved on, the road behind them was disappearing rapidly.

All these unknown phenomena indicated one thing: people on this path could only move forward, with no turning back or lingering.

It was like a road of no return.

"This place is very strange. From what we’ve seen, the building in the distance was clearly very far away, at least several kilometers from me, but as soon as we actually stepped onto this path, we hardly took a few steps before that building appeared before our eyes. The distance seems distorted," Li Yi said with a frown, looking at the increasingly close dilapidated building, feeling very uneasy.

"Look, there’s a plaque on the building with characters on it... Ghost Post Office? That’s in traditional characters," Qin Bing pointed out.

Upon approaching, they indeed saw a plaque hanging on the dilapidated building, with the three big characters "Ghost Post Office" causing their faces to change slightly.

As Cross-borders who had been in this world for three days, they had already developed a deep impression of its ghosts.

"As expected, we are inevitably dragged into the supernatural incidents of this world, aren’t we?" Zhang Jing said with a bitter smile, "The previous decision was a mistake; we shouldn’t have contacted the ghosts of this world without understanding them, which resulted in the death of a team captain and a teammate, and also got us targeted by some city official from Dazhuang City."

"Although we don’t know why we were brought here, it looks like the intent is not to let us leave alive."

The others remained silent.

Could they even come out of this Ghost Post Office alive?

But they had no choice.

The four of them were spread out in three places, and the appearance of a letter forced them to follow this road here. If they hadn’t done so, they would probably be dead by now.

"If they wanted to kill us, they wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble. I think the Ghost Post Office might pose a huge danger, but I also believe there must be a chance to survive," Qin Bing said as he took a puff of his cigarette to calm down.

"At this point, there’s not much else to consider. Not going means death, but going might give us a chance to live," Li Yi said, "No matter what place it is, I think as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, with our strength we shouldn’t give up. But before that, I want to remind everyone."

"The ghosts in this world are dangerous and indestructible. What we can do is find a way to avoid being hunted by ghosts. It’s best not to get targeted by them. Our former captain Zhang Xun died because of previous misconceptions, leading to a series of events. We need to change the Evolvers’ habit of wanting to fight at every turn."

The others nodded in agreement, understanding the meaning of Li Yi’s words.

Personal combat power wasn’t very useful in this world; before mastering the same level of supernatural power, even Evolvers could only think of ways to escape when faced with fierce ghosts.

"I want to add one thing, there are only four of us left now. We must stick together to survive these three months and then Cross Border back. During this time, no matter what grievances or disputes we have, let’s wait until we get back to address them. No infighting," Tao Yuan spoke up at this moment.

"Of course, even under those circumstances, I let go of my grudges and saved Xu Qiumei, who had grievances against me. Facing this situation now, I understand the importance of unity even more," Li Yi said calmly.

The others trusted Li Yi at that moment.

True colors show during adversity.

At the time of escape, it was indeed Li Yi who spoke up to remind them to save Xu Qiumei and Zhang Jing, or those two would have had no chance of survival.

"Since everyone is fine with this, let’s agree on cooperation for survival. Now let’s head into the Ghost Post Office together. We can’t hide anyway," Qin Bing said, tossing his cigarette away. The cigarette butt flew out and was swallowed by the darkness outside the path before it even hit the ground, disappearing from sight.

Seeing this, they were even more determined in their hearts; this was a road that didn’t allow refusal, a road of no return.

Swiftly.

The four of them walked the last stretch of the path and arrived in front of the building with the Ghost Post Office plaque.

A massive old door stood before them, a chill breeze drifting out from the inside, and faint and strange noises proved that the old building was not empty. There might be people inside, perhaps a Ghost Tamer, or fierce ghosts lingering.

Facing such an existence, everyone hesitated, instinctively resisting the urge to push open the door.

Then the surroundings flickered with neon lights of various colors, preventing the darkness from encroaching.

But standing at the door wasn’t a solution. Since this mysterious force had led them here, it surely wouldn’t allow them to just stand quietly at the entrance. If they stayed too long, they might run into other dangers.

With that thought.

Li Yi didn’t back down but instead took a step forward and pushed the old door open.

The door wasn’t locked and, though it looked heavy, it opened easily.

With a cold breath coming towards them, what came into view was a long-abandoned hallway with uneven and rotting floorboards. It looked as though no one had cared for it in years, and there were even portrait paintings hanging on the walls nearby. Each painting was a portrait of a person, male and female, all different.

"Here, our night vision seems to be restored," Li Yi’s eyes shone, revealing a hint of surprise.

Previously on the path, they couldn’t see through the darkness, but here they were able to, which should be good news.

If the vision of the Evolvers was affected, it meant that darkness was not simply darkness, but interference from some mysterious supernatural power.

"Let’s go inside and take a look," said Qin Bing, who by now had made up his mind and proceeded to walk forward.

Their footsteps creaked on the floorboards.

The noise was not loud but echoed in the empty hallway.

The group made their way into the Ghost Post Office’s hallway, looked around at the empty wooden counters, and saw the yellowed glass lamps overhead... There was nothing peculiar about the arrangements, just an air of decay, like a relic of a bygone era that inexplicably continued to exist.

"What’s that?" Suddenly, Li Yi stopped in his tracks and looked down.

But on the floor lay a piece of paper.

He picked it up for a look and saw that it was a black piece of stationery.

It wasn’t just at his feet, scattered pieces were also spread around the area.

"This paper seems a bit special," Li Yi said in a hushed voice.

The chill emanating from the paper made him realize that it might hold some mysterious power.

"Really?" the others also picked up a piece or two and examined them.

There was indeed something unusual about them.

"Let’s collect some for now; they might be useful," Li Yi spoke again.

The others didn’t refuse and casually picked up a piece or two before no longer actively gathering them.

But when they crossed the hall, they faced a courtyard with rooms surrounding it. Upon brief counting, there seemed to be seven rooms, each with a number plate—11, 12, 13... The numbers were quite self-explanatory.

The "1" at the front represented the floor level, and the numbers after signified the room numbers.

However... Li Yi looked left and right but couldn’t find a way upstairs; it seemed there was only this one floor.

At that moment, Qin Bing came up to a room and listened at the door, only to hear some movement inside, along with breathing sounds. His expression changed slightly as he looked toward the others: "There are people living in the rooms."

What?

The others were stunned.

Could there actually be people living in this ghostly place?

"Are you sure it’s a person?" Li Yi immediately asked.

Qin Bing spoke, "The breathing is a bit rapid; the person seems tense, and this kind of breathing rate is definitely that of an average person..."

The advantage of an Evolver was now evident.

Through the door, he could hear the other’s breathing and even determine their strength from it.

"Whether they are unfortunate souls who fell in here like us or if they’ve been here originally, we don’t know anything about this place. It’s best to find someone and ask," Li Yi said and without waiting, went over and forcefully opened the door.

The door was locked, but it opened easily.

As soon as the door was opened, the person inside breathed even more heavily, and in the darkness of the room, a pair of fearful eyes appeared within everyone’s view.

"Don’t be nervous, we’re not ghosts. We’ve entered here by mistake," Li Yi, noticing the other’s fear, immediately spoke up.

As he spoke, the person inside calmed down considerably and let out a huge sigh of relief.

"You, you’re crazy, coming to the Ghost Post Office at night. Don’t you know that the Ghost Post Office’s lights go out after six? After lights-out, all Messengers must stay in their rooms, it’s better not to go out. Otherwise, you’ll be killed by the ghosts that roam the post office," the person urgently said.

Upon hearing this.

Li Yi and the others involuntarily exchanged glances.

Such rules existed?

The lights went out after six, and at night ghosts roamed killing people?

Would staying in the rooms mean safety?

"How do you know all this information?" Li Yi walked into the room and asked.

The person spoke anxiously, "Whatever you have to say can wait till tomorrow. Hurry up and get out, don’t come into my room. In this place, only one person may stay in a room. If there are more than two, the roaming ghosts will attack those inside the room, and then no one will live."

Only one person may stay in a room?

Yet another rule?

A chill ran through them all.

They hadn’t expected there to be so many taboos here. Being new and utterly ignorant, if not for this person revealing this information, they would still be clueless and wouldn’t even know how they died.

"This person must be telling the truth. Let’s find rooms to get through the night," Li Yi immediately said.

The others agreed, thinking it was better to err on the side of caution.

This person was so frightened yet willing to stay alone in a dark room, which attested to the truth of these events. If they were false, he wouldn’t have taken such a risk.

Immediately.

The four of them quickly exited the room, then began searching for other vacant rooms.

There were a total of seven rooms here.

Excluding the one that person was in, six rooms remained, enough for the four of them.
