Chapter 107 Invasion of the Ghost Post Office
Chapter 107 Invasion of the Ghost Post Office
Dahan City, Jianshe Road.
This is a road that has been blocked off from entry.
In the middle of the road, there is an unfinished building blocked by a wall. Judging from the distance of the blocked section, the blockade seems to be centered there.
Suddenly, accompanied by some paper ash falling to the ground, two figures, one red and one white, appeared in front of the unfinished building.
"It should be right here."
Zhang Hao and the ghost bride slowly walked to the unfinished building.
Whether it is from the fact that this place is blocked or the cold and gloomy atmosphere emanating from the unfinished building, it can be judged that this is where the ghost post office is located.
After all, in the original novel, it seems that there are no supernatural events in Dahan City because of the existence of the ghost post office.
"Crack!"
There was an iron chain on the gate of the unfinished building's wall, but it was just an ordinary chain, and Zhang Hao broke it with just a little force.
Without the chain, the rusty iron door opened at this moment.
The unfinished building seemed very dark, but the darkness could not affect Zhang Hao's vision.
Passing through the iron gate, what comes into view is a vacant lot, overgrown with weeds and piled with some construction waste, which has not been cleaned for many years.
Zhang Hao just took a quick glance and went straight to the unfinished building.
The corridors of the unfinished building were dark and damp, there was a musty smell in the air, and there were many places with stagnant water on the ground.
As Zhang Hao walked over, the sound of his footsteps echoed in the empty floor, causing an indescribable feeling of depression.
On the ground around, you can vaguely see some gold ornaments, such as gold rings, gold necklaces and so on.
Zhang Hao glanced at everything around him, and his ghost eyes saw that in the black and white world, there was an out-of-place building overlapping with the unfinished building.
It was an old building, five or six stories high, just like this unfinished building. Its style was not modern, but that of the Republic of China.
The building appeared particularly dark and gloomy, as if shrouded in a layer of fog. Only a rough outline could be seen, which was not very clear, like a mirage.
Even Zhang Hao's ghost eyes that could see non-existent things could not completely see through this building.
The color on Zhang Hao's body began to fade at this moment, and an invisible ghost appeared.
As Zhang Hao continued to gaze, the somewhat unreal building gradually solidified, and everything about the unreal building was completely presented before Zhang Hao's eyes.
This is a five or six-story Republican-style building with windows and doors.
Right above the gate, there is a plaque with the words "Hell Apartment" written in traditional Chinese characters, and colorful neon lights are on next to it, as if they are afraid that it is not conspicuous enough.
But these lights have no color at all in this black and white world.
Suddenly, the top floor of the building, the fifth floor, no, it should be a window above the fifth floor.
The window slammed open with a bang, and a strange shadow stood there. It seemed that the thing had discovered Zhang Hao and was staring at him.
"A ghost who opens the door? But since it has been renamed Hell Apartment, it should be the new manager of the Ghost Post Office."
Zhang Hao stared at the figure for a long time without making any rash moves.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
A coughing sound came from the attic, like a dying old man coughing for air before his death.
It seemed that along with Zhang Hao's supernatural influence on the Ghost Post Office, that thing seemed to be trying to influence Zhang Hao.
At this moment, in the world of black and white, a winding and rugged road stretched out.
The road only exists in the black and white world and does not appear in the real world.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao released the hidden ghost.
As his ghost den appeared, the world outside the unfinished building turned black and white, and the invisible road was also revealed at this time.
Leading the ghost bride along this winding and rugged road, following the invasion of the ghost den, the door of the building was heavily slammed open by a huge force.
With such a powerful force, the door should have flown away, but it just creaked and swayed a few times in the air, then slowly closed again.
Under the dim, yellow light, two figures followed the incomprehensible path and came to the lobby on this floor.
At a casual glance, the place you see is all old-style buildings from the Republic of China period. The floors on the ground are old, peeling paint or even cracked, and seem to be about to rot.
In addition, there are huge black and white portraits of people hanging on the nearby walls.
These photos include men and women, and their clothing styles are also different. The older ones include retro long gowns and cheongsams, while the newer ones include suits and floral skirts.
It can be said that this applies to both modern people and the older generation.
Walking into the building, Zhang Hao felt that he was suppressed to a certain extent.
This suppression was not serious enough to completely affect his own actions, but it only affected the speed at which the ghost den spread its coverage area, but he could feel it.
The buildings here have some kind of incomprehensible spiritual power that repels evil spirits from entering.
Zhang Hao walked slowly into the depths of the building.
The situation on the first floor was not complicated. It was a slightly empty hall. The glass lamps above were dim and yellow, unable to illuminate the place completely, making it seem dark and depressing.
The wooden floor under my feet was a little soft, probably because the wood inside was almost rotten, and there was a lingering musty smell.
After walking a short distance forward, you can see a U-shaped patio. There are rooms on the first floor downstairs. The doors are made of wood and are also old and mottled.
There are copper house numbers nailed on it: 101, 102, 103.
Raise your head slightly and look upward.
This building has five floors, and the structure of each floor is basically similar. You can clearly see the circular corridors and the doors of the rooms on the upper floors.
"After being transformed into the Hell Apartment, the structure of the Ghost Post Office has not been changed, but the style has changed a little."
Zhang Hao looked at the ground, which was covered with tiles with exquisite patterns. Occasionally, some electronic instruments could be seen on the surrounding walls.
"Crench!"
But at this time.
Suddenly, the door of a room upstairs seemed to be opened, and the sound of the door opening echoed in the silent hall, sounding particularly clear.
Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a strange figure walking out from upstairs, but he couldn't see clearly because of the partition.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
The figure walked towards the downstairs, coughing hoarsely from time to time.
The man walked very fast and soon reached the second floor.
When he saw Zhang Hao and the ghost bride on the first floor clearly, he noticed that the other person's pupils shrank suddenly.
Obviously, the people upstairs knew about Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.
Zhang Hao led the ghost bride, and the ghost den quickly invaded into the second floor, appeared in front of this man, and stared at him and examined him.
"boom!"
As he observed the other person, the black and white world seemed to weigh down on him, causing him to fall to his knees, unable to support himself.
"Red and White Devils!"
Sun Rui gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, his eyes full of fear.
"Your condition is very strange. Your body has been suppressed, and even the ghost in your body has entered a state similar to freezing. You are not dead yet."
Zhang Hao stared at Sun Rui, knowing that his own wisdom had been exposed, and he no longer had any thoughts of hiding it.
Anyway, the headquarters should have already made his existence public, and Liu Qingqing's existence should also tell the older generation about Zhang Hao's existence.
"Sure enough, just like Captain Yang said, you are very strange. I didn't expect that you even have the ability to communicate with others."
Tears kept dripping down Sun Rui's face, and he looked very sad, but he was still able to continue speaking in a strange tone.
But even so, he couldn't hide his inner astonishment.
He is not Yang Jian, who has encountered countless strange supernatural events.
In Dahan City, a city where almost no supernatural events occur, he has not encountered many supernatural events.
"You seem very curious about why I don't die, but I won't tell you. If you have the ability, kill me."
Sun Rui stared at Zhang Hao. Although he had seen few supernatural events, he was not stupid but rather very smart.
The moment Zhang Hao opened his mouth, he immediately guessed why the other party was willing to expose his own intelligence.
However, he would not die in this haunted post office, so Sun Rui was not worried at all.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao just stared at Sun Rui. He was not curious about why Sun Rui did not die.
In fact, what he wanted to know was what kind of status the manager of the ghost post office was in and how to become the manager of the ghost post office. If he let a ghost become the manager of the ghost post office, would it be feasible?
"Perhaps, I can give it a try. Just think of it as causing trouble for Yang Jian and his people, so that they won't keep staring at me for no reason."
Zhang Hao looked at the ghost bride and said, "Madam, please get me the ghost scissors."
When the ghost bride heard this, pieces of paper ash appeared on her body and the ghost den was dispersed by her. Soon, a pair of rusty red scissors was taken out by a pair of white hands in the ghost den.
"Madam?" Sun Rui looked at Zhang Hao and the ghost bride in surprise.
No, I haven’t returned to reality for several months. Have the evil spirits in the real world evolved to this point?
Among the evil spirits, there are even couples. Does it mean that in the future there will be evil spirits in the form of mother-son, father-son, etc.?
Zhang Hao took the ghost scissors, avoided the curse on them, and then looked at Sun Rui.
This time, he could clearly see that there was a curse thread on Sun Rui's body that was invisible to the naked eye.
"Is this the curse the ghost post office has cast on you? Even I can't see it easily."
Even Zhang Hao's ghost eyes cannot see through this kind of curse, it can only be seen with the help of specific things.
Hearing this, Sun Rui widened his eyes and stared at Zhang Hao.
The identity of the manager of the Ghost Post Office is both a protection and a curse.
"Is it the scissors?" Sun Rui asked in confusion, but Zhang Hao did not answer him.
Holding the ghost scissors, Zhang Hao cut the silk thread behind Sun Rui that represented the curse of the Ghost Post Office.
However, the ghost scissors seemed to be rusty at this time. No matter how hard Zhang Hao tried, he could not cut the silk thread that represented the curse of the Ghost Post Office.
"Is it the difference in terror level? Or is it some special rule?"
Zhang Hao looked towards the top floor of the Ghost Post Office. The end point of the silk thread was a room there.
"Forget it, let's not explore it. If my wife or I become the manager of the ghost post office by mistake, it will be very troublesome."
The manager of the Ghost Post Office cannot leave the Ghost Post Office.
Even if Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride possess the special ghost den of the ghost painting and are not subject to this restriction to a certain extent, it will still be very troublesome.
Not wanting to explore further, Zhang Hao simply assumed that this was a form of protection provided by the Ghost Post Office to Sun Rui.
Because Sun Rui is protected by the Ghost Post Office and will not die, the curse cannot be cut off inside the Ghost Post Office.
Leaving the Ghost Post Office might be able to remove the curse on Sun Rui, but that would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao picked up Sun Rui with one hand and walked upstairs.
"what are you up to?"
Being lifted in the air by Zhang Hao's hand, Sun Rui had a bad feeling.
At this moment, the portraits hanging on the walls of the Ghost Post Office seemed to have seen this scene. Even though they were in the paintings, they all closed their eyes involuntarily.
Soon, Zhang Hao carried Sun Rui to the fifth floor and walked into a room on the fifth floor.
Looking at the open door, Sun Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled a story Yang Jian had told him.
A-level supernatural event. The Knocking Ghost was an old ghost rider in his previous life. He fell from the fifth floor, which led to the supernatural event code-named the Knocking Ghost.
Judging from the existence of another evil ghost code-named the Door-Opening Ghost and the first manager in the Ghost Post Office, the Door-Knocking Ghost may be the first manager of the post office who was resurrected after his death.
Just the next second when Zhang Hao pushed open the door and was about to throw Sun Rui out of the Ghost Post Office.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A strange thing happened. Accompanied by loud noises, the yellow lights in the post office exploded one after another.
The lights started exploding on the first floor, and then the sound of light bulbs exploding was heard on the second floor of the post office.
The third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor and even some unknown places.
All the lights exploded at this moment.
Although it was daytime outside, it was suddenly night inside the post office at that moment.
Darkness suddenly invaded Zhang Hao and enveloped him at the door of the room.
"boom!"
At this moment, the opened door of the room was also abruptly closed, as if someone had closed it forcefully.
A supernatural power appeared, and then a human-shaped shadow stood strangely outside the door on the first floor, as if blocking the door tightly.
The door of the post office is not entirely made of wood, there are several pieces of transparent glass in the middle.
At this moment, through the pieces of glass, you can clearly see a strange figure standing behind the door, blocking the door from opening again.
There was not just one shadow behind the post office door, but a second and third shadow appeared.
These black figures gathered together and completely blocked the door like a black wall.
The black shadows seemed to continue to appear, and behind the door, the sound of doors closing continuously came from the rooms in the post office.
The scariest thing is.
The door began to shake violently at this moment, as if it was affected by a huge force. It was twisting, cracking, and making creaking sounds, as if it would break at any time.
It seems like something is invading the Ghost Post Office and trying to break into it.
At the same time, in the dark ghost post office, strange figures appeared one after another, and these were all terrifying ghosts.
Now, as Zhang Hao planned to kill Sun Rui, these evil spirits were released by Sun Rui to attack Zhang Hao.
Accompanied by a series of rapid sounds of "dong dong dong".
Something was coming upstairs, and it was moving very fast, as if it was running, and the wooden stairs were shaking.
"Can the manager of the Ghost Post Office control the ghosts here?"
Zhang Hao looked at the dark ghost post office in surprise. Such contents were not written in the original book.
The darkness blocked his vision, but in that black and white world, he could still see strange figures moving around.
"Maybe it's because in the original novel, Sun Rui faced Zhang Xianguang."
Zhang Xianguang and Sun Rui are both managers of the Ghost Post Office, so Sun Rui’s methods in the Ghost Post Office are ineffective against Zhang Xianguang.
But Zhang Hao is different. He is a ghost that has no connection with the Ghost Post Office, and he cannot stop Sun Rui from controlling the ghosts in the Ghost Post Office.
"In that case, then you should just die first."
Zhang Hao ignored the figures in the dark. In this dark world, a layer of gray paper ash was slowly unfolding.
The fallen paper ashes mixed with paper money stained the figures in the dark, quickly making them lose the ability to move.
These evil spirits that appeared at the beginning were not very powerful, and Zhang Hao was able to capture them easily.
Black and white ghosts also appeared at this moment. Black and white portraits fell along with the ashes, as if they came alive, staring at the evil ghosts climbing up the stairs.
As some of the evil spirits at the beginning could no longer bear the pressure and began to kneel down, strange crying sounds were heard in the Ghost Post Office.
At the same time, the murals hanging on the walls of the ghost post office began to distort at this moment.
Originally there were men and women on the mural, but now they have all turned into a woman in red.
These women in red who suddenly appeared in the mural suddenly walked out of the mural and entered reality in a strange way.
"Tread! Tread!"
Accompanied by a rhythmic sound of footsteps, the originally noisy ghost post office began to become quiet, and the messy footsteps and clapping sounds disappeared one after another.
Sun Rui looked at this scene with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He couldn't understand why there was a fierce ghost who could fight against the out-of-control Ghost Post Office on his own.
You know, even Yang Jian at that time invited Ye Zhen from Dahai City to come over. The two of them worked together, and cooperated with a bunch of messengers to successfully resolve this supernatural incident.
However, at this time, he could no longer think further.
The door that had suddenly closed before was pushed open by Zhang Hao, revealing an old man wearing a Zhongshan suit with corpse spots all over his face.
However, as soon as the old man with corpse spots appeared, he immediately knelt down with a bang and then disappeared into the room.
It was attacked by incomprehensible psychic forces.
Moreover, the old man in the room seemed to be just some kind of supernatural phenomenon, not the source of evil spirits, and was completely unable to withstand such an attack.
