Chapter 259 Accidental Involvement
After completing the letter delivery task, Li Yi stayed in the room on the third floor of the ghost post office for two full days. During this period, he checked several times and finally confirmed that the two ghosts, one large and one small, had not followed. It seemed that they were
With the help of the special features of the Ghost Post Office, I got rid of the evil ghost's pursuit.
This finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the period was extremely dangerous, it was all worth it, because they successfully reached the third floor, and after completing this mission of delivering letters, he did not need to continue delivering letters for the next three months.
If everything goes well, we can wait until the next cross-border door opens.
"We can't stay in the ghost post office anymore, otherwise we will starve to death here. We have to go out and get some food." Guo You couldn't stay at this moment. He felt that if he stayed in the room any longer, he wouldn't need ghosts to kill him.
He will die too.
Li Yi and Liu Qingqing are special people. The former controls Qi and blood, absorbs cosmic energy, and reduces physical consumption. The latter is a ghost controller. His body is affected by supernatural powers and he can go without eating or drinking. The two of them stayed in the ghost post office for ten years.
Nothing will happen for half a month.
"The ghosts chasing us should have left. If you want to go out, you can go out and have a look." Li Yi said.
"Li Yi, what about you? Aren't you leaving?" Guo You asked. He wanted to find a companion to leave together to avoid any danger on the road.
Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Are you rich?"
Guo You was stunned for a moment, then said: "I have some savings, but not much. Why do you ask?"
"I want to borrow some from you." Li Yi said.
"This is no problem." Guo You agreed, and then said in surprise: "But then again, a master like you is actually short of money?"
"You have to eat if you are good at skills. You can't go robbing. If you are caught, you will be shot. It is better to do less illegal things. And after you become a messenger, even if you want to make money, you will not have the time or opportunity. Downstairs
Isn’t that why Wang Chuan is so poor now?" Li Yi said.
"That's true."
Guo You was startled and thought it made sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
"Since Li Yi has decided to leave the ghost post office, let's go together. I don't know when the next mail delivery will be, and it will be safer if the three of us go together. Even if the ghost is still waiting for us on the road, we
I can escape without any accidents." Liu Qingqing said at this moment.
"It makes sense." Li Yi nodded.
The three people took advantage of the time when the ghost post office turned on the lights during the day and walked downstairs again.
They were more cautious and checked the hall to make sure there were no ghosts before they dared to open the door and go out.
As the familiar winding path appeared, several people walked along the path and prepared to leave the ghost post office. Li Yi had been observing the situation on the way. The good news was that the ghost that had been chasing him had disappeared. Although he did not know that he was
The ghost post office has gone somewhere, but as long as it doesn't appear next to me, it's a good thing.
And something bizarre happened.
The three people were obviously walking together at first, but then the distance between them quickly widened, and then Liu Qingqing disappeared, as if she had left here and returned to somewhere in reality.
The same thing happened when Li Yi took a few steps.
He did not appear near the terrifying collection building, but appeared in a corner of Dazhuang City.
This is exactly where he went to the ghost post office last time.
"According to normal circumstances, when I left the ghost post office this time, I should have been sent outside the collection hall. After all, I lit the letter paper from there. But why was I sent to the place where I went to the ghost post office last time?" Li Yi
It felt a little strange, but he didn't want to think about it now.
Anyway, from today on, he doesn't need to send letters, and he doesn't have to worry so much.
soon.
His phone buzzed with a text message.
It was a transfer from Guo You, totaling 20,000 yuan.
After borrowing a sum of money, Li Yi didn't have to worry about spending for the next period of time. He could guarantee basic food and drink. Just sitting there and having nothing would not work. He felt that he should find a way to make some money. After all, he still had some favors.
The debt needs to be repaid, and if you cross the border next time and leave, there will be no chance.
"It's better to continue to live there."
Li Yi walked around in this strange city. He didn't dare to wander into unfamiliar places to avoid encountering ghosts again, so after thinking about it, he decided to stay in Zheng Yaoyao's rental house.
But when he came to the familiar balcony, he saw Zheng Yaoyao lying on the bed holding her mobile phone.
"Shouldn't you go to work at this time?" Li Yi put down his backpack and sat in the same place.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zheng Yaoyao was instantly pleasantly surprised. She put down her phone and hurriedly got out of bed: "Li Yi, you're back? That's great."
"I have finished my work for the time being, so I have nowhere to go. I will continue to come back to your place to stay for a while." Li Yi said.
"It would be great if I could be as free and easy as you. Now I have been unemployed and can't find a job. I am worried to death." Zheng Yaoyao sighed and said: "If I don't work to make money, I will starve to death in a short time."
In a rental house.”
Li Yi said: "Maybe you should go back to your hometown. Staying in a big city is not a good choice. I have been to many cities, and almost every city has haunted places. On the contrary, some small rural places have nothing supernatural.
event."
"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yaoyao opened her eyes wide: "Then I have to quickly pack up my things and go back to my hometown to hide. Wait, if I go back to my hometown, what will you do? Don't you have no place to live?"
"I'm leaving in two months," Li Yi said.
"Where are you going again?" Zheng Yaoyao asked.
Li Yi glanced at the sky outside and said, "The sky here is too bright and the sun is very dazzling. I'm not used to it, so I have to go home."
"Are you going to time travel again?" Zheng Yaoyao said in surprise: "But aren't you unable to go back?"
"I didn't say I couldn't go back, I just didn't have the time." Li Yi said: "And in this world, I can't see the future and hope. I believe it won't be long before supernatural events are everywhere.
Be careful, try to go to places with fewer people, stay away from big cities, and if possible, use gold to build a safe house, this is not very realistic for you."
"Then can you take me with you when you travel through time?" Suddenly, Zheng Yaoyao asked excitedly.
Li Yi smiled: "Are you able to make this determination to abandon everything and travel through time to leave this world?"
As soon as this question came up, Zheng Yaoyao was immediately stunned.
She just said such a sentence out of sheer enthusiasm. Unfortunately, when she thought about it carefully, she found that she couldn't do it. After all, she had parents, family, and friends. How could she leave everyone and go through time alone?
"Live a good life, don't think so much." Li Yi said: "Besides, I don't have much money on me, so I can only give you 10,000 to cover the cost of living, eating and drinking at your place during this period."
He doesn't like to take advantage, so he spends as much money as possible on things that can be solved with money, so as to avoid owed favors.
In the next period of time, Li Yi's life was calm and boring, just killing time and waiting for the cross-border door to open.
In this way, half a month passed in a flash.
During this period, Li Yi only received one call from Guo You. Guo You said that the old messenger Wang Chuan who was on the second floor seemed to be dead because he could not be contacted and did not appear at the ghost post office. He should be delivering letters.
There was an accident.
Is Wang Chuan dead?
Li Yi was silent for a moment.
He still owed Wang Chuan a favor and originally thought of finding an opportunity to earn some money to repay it, but he didn't expect that only half a month had passed and the man was already dead.
In addition, a new messenger also arrived on the second floor, named Qin Bing.
The news made Li Yi a little happy, because Qin Bing was his teammate in this crossover. Unexpectedly, he had successfully reached the second floor, but this time no one gave him a third letter. He was destined to stay on the second floor.
It took a while, but this is not a bad thing. Delivering letters on the second floor is at least less dangerous. If everything goes well, Qin Bing can survive until the time of cross-border departure.
As for the first floor of the ghost post office, Guo You heard that a new group of people had arrived, but the mortality rate was still very high and not many people could survive.
I thought that Li Yi would always live a boring and ordinary life like this.
Until one evening, something happened that shocked him.
On the balcony.
As darkness enveloped him, a path leading to the ghost post office appeared before him again.
"How could it be?" Li Yi's face suddenly darkened at this moment.
According to the time estimate, he shouldn't have a letter delivery mission. Why would there be a ghost post office during this period of time?
no way.
He could only bite the bullet and return to the ghost post office along this winding path, back to the third floor, to understand the situation.
Not only did Li Yi come back again, Liu Qingqing and Guo You were also forced to return to the ghost post office.
"Li Yi, what's going on? If a letter isn't delivered every three months on the third floor, why is there still a letter delivery task?" Guo You was very surprised and asked immediately after seeing Li Yi.
"I don't know, I just arrived." Li Yi said with a stern face: "Liu Qingqing, do you know what's going on?"
Liu Qingqing shook her head: "I don't know. I'll ask my friend about this later. He should know the situation, but there is no signal here. I have to go out and ask again."
"It's very simple, because this is not your letter delivery mission, but our letter delivery mission. You are just unlucky and got involved in the group letter delivery mission in Room 34." Suddenly, at this moment, Room 34
The door opened, and several strange messengers walked out.
It seems that they should be the old couriers from the third floor, and now they have received the task of delivering messages.
"Are you kidding me?" Li Yi immediately stared at them.
"This is the reality. If you are to blame, I blame you for entering the wrong room. If you go to a room with few people, it must be a letter every three months. After all, you went to the third floor together, and the delivery time is almost the same, but living in
There are quite a few couriers in Room 34, and sometimes other people's mission to deliver messages will involve other people in the room, and I was involved once." said the unfamiliar courier on the third floor.
Li Yi said coldly: "If I kill you, will we not need to be involved in the message delivery mission?"
Several other strange messengers were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "When we die, the task will fall on you. If you want to do it, you can give it a try."
"Li Yi, calm down." Liu Qingqing advised: "Kill them. If the task of delivering the message really falls on us, it will be even worse. There are so many people now. Even if there is a task of delivering the message, it will be easier to complete. No
It is necessary to kill the fish and break the net.”
"You don't understand." Li Yi looked at Liu Qingqing and said, "You escaped from the ghost post office to deliver letters, but I am different."
He knew that Liu Qingqing was not opposed to sending letters. For her, the more times she sent letters, the faster she could leave the ghost post office. Li Yi did not need to send letters, he only needed to wait another month and a half to leave across the border.
"Even if you have other considerations, killing them now will not help." Liu Qingqing said: "You know the cruelty of the ghost post office, and we have no choice."
Li Yi lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this. He understood that it was too late for him to take action now. The moment the road to the ghost post office appeared, he had no choice.
"You can do whatever you like. I won't contribute to the task of delivering messages that doesn't belong to me, unless all irrelevant people like you are dead."
At this moment, he felt a sense of helplessness and restraint.
If I had known this was the case, I might as well have stayed on the second floor of the ghost post office.
Sighing helplessly, Li Yi turned around and walked into the room: "Don't disturb me, I'm in a bad mood now."
And just like he said.
In the following period, Li Yi was not as energetic as before. He did not care about the task of delivering letters at all. Even if other messengers died, he would remain indifferent. Only when a real crisis arises and involves
He will only take action when it's time for himself.
In one and a half months, Li Yi, Liu Qingqing, and Guo You were involved in two letter delivery missions.
The first letter delivery mission was completed by another messenger. Li Yi chose to win. However, the second letter delivery mission was too dangerous. Almost all the messengers in Room 34 died. Li Yi had no choice but to owe him a debt.
As a favor, Liu Qingqing could only help and completed the second mission.
In this way, Li Yi managed to survive three months.
Leaving across the border is just a matter of a few days.
But on this day, Li Yi received a text message from Qin Bing, saying that there was something he needed to pick up, which was placed at their previous cross-border location.
After Li Yi rushed there, he got a backpack.
There were very few things in the backpack, a locator, a lighter, a pack of cigarettes, and a suicide note.
"Li Yi, when you can get this thing, it means that I am dead. I have nothing left. If you can go back across the border, please send this letter to my family. Thank you."
Qin Bing's words were short. It seemed that he had anticipated such a result, so he made such preparations.
If Li Yi had not survived, then these relics of Qin Bing would have been buried in the river and disappeared forever.
"Is he dead too?" Li Yi looked at the relics with a trace of bitterness on his lips.
Of the six people who came across the border, he is the only one left now.
After putting away Qin Bing's relics, Li Yi sat by the river. He looked at the familiar cross-border location and waited for the signal to appear.
Now he just hopes that the ghost post office will not come to him again in the past few days, so that he can leave with peace of mind.
Chapter completed!
