Chapter 357: Chapter 250 Deterrence

At this moment, as Li Yi watched Du Ming charging at him with that short stick, he couldn’t help but smile, even feeling somewhat delighted, because he had his eyes on that Mysterious Item. As long as he could get his hands on it, from then on, he would have a means to save his life in front of fierce ghosts.

If he had known that this guy was hiding such a treasure, he would have made his move earlier.

"Du Ming, I take back what I just said, you really are a good person."

Although Li Yi was happy at this moment, he was far from being careless. His pupils narrowed, instantly transforming into vertical slits, while his eyes gleamed with brightness. Then, in the next moment, he burst forth, suddenly disappearing from his original spot.

His speed was so fast that it surpassed the reaction time of a normal person.

Bang!

The next moment, an explosion sounded.

Before Du Ming, who had just charged over, could react, his head burst open out of thin air, turning into a splash of blood that stained the wall behind him.

Afterward, his body stood still in place, maintaining its forward motion.

Everything happened so fast, without any warning, all so sudden.

And at some point, the old, cracked short stick that had been in Du Ming’s hand disappeared, along with his arm.

Everyone’s eyes widened, showing shocked expressions on their faces.

What, what just happened?

Why did Du Ming’s head suddenly explode, and then he died? Why did Li Yi suddenly vanish out of thin air?

Now, where is Li Yi?

As everyone’s gaze searched, they soon saw Li Yi’s figure in the corridor ten meters away.

At that moment, Li Yi was curiously examining the old, cracked short stick in his hand.

What a joke, in the blink of an eye, Du Ming was dead, Li Yi had snatched that Mysterious Item, and he had appeared ten meters away?

This event overturned their understanding of reality.

Could it be that Li Yi is also a Ghost Tamer?

Yes, only a Ghost Tamer could accomplish all of this.

Liu Qingqing was shocked and bewildered, yet she was very certain that Li Yi was definitely not a Ghost Tamer. Nothing supernatural had manifested during the recent events, and after entering the Ghost Post Office, even a real Ghost Tamer would have their supernatural power suppressed and interfered with, unless Li Yi, this Ghost Tamer, was so powerful that he could ignore the Ghost Post Office.

But that probability was pitifully small. If Li Yi truly could ignore the influence of the Ghost Post Office, then he wouldn’t have come to deliver a message on the second floor.

So, everything that had just happened was achieved by Li Yi’s own strength?

But... is he still human?

"No matter how many times I see it, it’s terrifying when Li Yi makes a move," said Guo You, unable to help swallowing his saliva. He had witnessed Li Yi and his companions in action.

Each one was an exceptional master.

He couldn’t imagine what in the real world could deal with them, other than fierce ghosts, since they could even dodge bullets.

What about Ghost Tamers and Mysterious Items?

In a confrontation, you’d be blown to smithereens, not even having a chance to fight back.

Such reflexes and speed in taking action were practically monstrous.

"So this is it, this is a Mysterious Item, containing supernatural power... possessing the characteristic of being indestructible. It’s just that I don’t know if this thing has any side effects or whether it will erode oneself like a Ghost Tamer when used," Li Yi mused, ignoring the already dead Messenger as he held the old, cracked short stick, trying to crush it with force.

However, even the burst of strength from someone at his level couldn’t harm it in the slightest.

To destroy it, perhaps only supernatural power of a similar level could manage.

"Well, I can’t worry about it now. As long as this item can repel fierce ghosts, then this message delivery task should be almost certain for me," Li Yi thought to himself.

What he was most concerned about was the lack of means to counter fierce ghosts. Even if he was fast and strong, he couldn’t exert his abilities. If the team leader, Zhang Xun, a Soul Realm expert, had been taken down, what about him?

But now the situation was different. Only with such Mysterious Items was his strength of any use.

"Li Yi, what you just did... was it supernatural power?" Liu Qingqing, though she had various speculations, still wanted to confirm it face to face.

"I am not a Ghost Tamer, nor do I possess supernatural power. I’m just an ordinary person who wants to deliver messages and survive. I didn’t want to kill anyone just now; it was all because of that naturally evil Du Ming who insisted on attacking me with a Mysterious Item," Li Yi said, turning to look at the crowd. But before he could finish speaking, he disappeared once again from the spot.

By the time they realized what was happening, his tall frame had already appeared behind Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing, catching on, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Just now, if Li Yi had decided to harm himself, his own head would have been blown to pieces.

Even as a Ghost Tamer, without her head she would still die.

"Liu Qingqing, let’s not dwell on just happened, let’s discuss the letter delivery task instead. I believe with your Ghost Control ability, coupled with my strength, delivering this letter won’t be too difficult. If we cooperate well, we can strive to survive together, what do you say?"

At that moment, Li Yi was demonstrating his Transcendent strength, not only to intimidate others but also to fight for the right to speak.

"Cooperation is, of course, no problem. Your hidden strength is beyond my imagination. With you involved, I feel much more at ease," said Liu Qingqing as she finally turned around, forcing a smile.

She didn’t need to understand how Li Yi acquired such abilities; she just needed to know that Li Yi was incredibly strong, outrageously strong, that was enough.

"That’s good. Working with a Ghost Tamer like you, I believe there won’t be any letter delivery task too hard for us," Li Yi said calmly.

"Naturally," Liu Qingqing said, her voice still shaky.

She was now glad that she was a Ghost Tamer. If she had been an ordinary person, she wouldn’t have known how much pressure she could endure. This man, who normally kept a low profile, revealed an aura that made him seem like a fierce beast when he acted—no, more terrifying than any beast. Simply being near him was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

This wasn’t something supernatural power could achieve; it was purely personal presence.

Incredible.

Since when did such people exist in this world?

The others were now silent as well, so intimidated by Li Yi that they dared not even breathe heavily. They were well aware that with a simple gesture, Li Yi could kill them all, without giving them a chance to escape.

Li Yi’s glowing vertical pupils swept over the others, "Who else is willing to participate in this delivery task? If anyone wants to join, step forward now, because Liu Qingqing and I will be leaving the Ghost Post Office soon."

"I, I want to take part in the delivery task," Guo You said, trembling under the pressure.

If he didn’t seize this opportunity, what was he waiting for?

Was he supposed to just keep waiting on the second floor, delivering letters one by one?

By following someone like Li Yi to the third floor, he might not care about other things, but at least he could live for several more months. Otherwise, with his own strength, he was sure to die on the second floor.

"I’ll deliver the letter too," another messenger from the second floor said through gritted teeth, realizing this was an opportunity.

With a powerful figure like Li Yi and a Ghost Tamer like Liu Qingqing, their setup seemed unbeatable for this delivery task. It would be foolish to refuse.

"Count me in."

Then, the last messenger from the second floor also expressed his willingness to go along.

Li Yi nodded. This way, apart from the deceased Du Ming and voluntarily surrendered Wang Chuan, all the messengers that had convened today were on board.

"Since everyone agrees, let’s not waste any more time."

Having said that, he looked at Liu Qingqing again.

Liu Qingqing took out the letter and gestured to everyone.

Everyone touched the letter, accepting the delivery task.

"However, I won’t hold onto this letter. Li Yi, you take care of it. I trust it can only be successfully delivered in your hands," Liu Qingqing said, handing over the leadership of the delivery to Li Yi. After all, it seemed foolish to try to compete given his strength.

Moreover, the letter wasn’t really a good item to hold onto for no reason.

Li Yi was not polite, taking the letter and putting it away, then said, "Now that we have decided on the team, what are we waiting for? We’ll meet in Zhongning City within a day. Even though we can’t use phones here, we can add each other’s numbers now for easier contact once we’re outside."

"No problem."

At this moment, everyone exchanged contact information.

After doing all this, Li Yi didn’t wait to see if the others would follow; he took the letter and strode down the stairs, heading out of the Ghost Post Office.

As Li Yi left, the messengers on the second floor finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Guo You, where the hell did this Li Yi come from? He’s so extraordinary and terrifying. Did you notice earlier? When his pupils contracted, they turned into vertical ones. The moment he focused on something, I doubted he was even human, more like some kind of exceptional creature," Liu Qingqing whispered inquiringly.

Guo You’s face changed; he shook his head and said, "I don’t know. I’ve collaborated with Li Yi on the first floor, but I don’t understand him at all. I just know that there are three more people as fierce as him. There were four, but one died encountering a fierce ghost during a delivery. And I’m certain, they really don’t rely on supernatural power, just their own physical strength."

"His background is unknown?" Liu Qingqing pursed her lips. "I understand, thank you. It seems we’ll have to rely on Li Yi more in the future. His capabilities are simply unimaginable. Even without supernatural powers, he can play a significant role in the delivery process."

After all, it takes time for ghosts to kill, and Li Yi can do so much in a second, enough to turn the tide at critical moments.

Moreover, he now has a mysterious item capable of repelling fierce ghosts.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Yi will definitely be able to clear the Post Office successfully and leave this place.

And what she needed to do was to become Li Yi’s teammate as much as possible, to cooperate and achieve mutual success.
