As time jumped to six o'clock, the empty hall began to darken!
Wan Hao noticed the change in the surrounding scene and quickly looked back, only to see that the lights in the already dim hall were starting to go out.
One light after another was extinguished, making the hall even darker. At this moment, one could no longer see the end of it, and the entrance door was no longer clear.
Wan Hao’s pupils contracted. As the lights went out, he could feel a strange, cold aura beginning to permeate the hall!
“The eerie events have begun! Is the Malevolent Ghost about to come out?”
Wan Hao’s body tensed. Although he was currently able to Control a Malevolent Ghost, he had never tried using the ghost's Strength, nor did he know the Killing Rule of the ghost in this Ghost Post Office. People are terrified of the unknown.
“The other rooms definitely won't open for me at this time either.”
Thinking this, Wan Hao looked towards the room marked with the number 16, which only contained one Female Student.
He glared fiercely again at the room marked 17, remembering how the person inside had insulted his mother. Without saying any more harsh words, Wan Hao turned and walked towards room 16.
By now, half the lights in the hall had gone out. The eerie, cold aura was even thicker, mixed with the stench of rotting floorboards—everything made one’s blood run cold!
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Open the door, I am an Interpol Officer, I can protect you!”
Wan Hao immediately revealed his identity. Having spent years navigating the lower rungs of society, Wan Hao knew very well what these students feared most—nothing more than three types of people.
Teachers, police officers, and thugs.
“Ah!”
Wan Hao’s urgent knocking startled the Female Student inside, causing her to let out a scream.
“I really am a police officer, let me in and I can protect you!”
Wan Hao repeated himself. Wan Hao was also very panicked now; the lights were almost extinguished up to his location, and he could constantly feel a pair of cold eyes watching him from the Darkness.
“Click!”
The door was opened, and a young, terrified face appeared behind it.
Wan Hao couldn't bother saying anything else and squeezed straight inside!
However, just as half of Wan Hao’s body got inside, the light outside room 16 went out!
A dry, Deathly silence hand grabbed Wan Hao’s hand!
Wan Hao looked back in horror and saw the hand gripping him. That hand was grasping the spot where he wore his glove!
Following the hand, he saw a figure whose face was unclear standing in the dark corridor outside.
The Female Student behind him also saw it. She screamed and tried to shut the door, but the force of her action trapped Wan Hao, whose body was half inside!
“Damn it! Stop causing trouble!”
Wan Hao cursed inwardly and gave a hard shove. How could a Female Student’s Strength compare to Wan Hao’s? She stumbled and fell to the ground.
But she became even more frightened and crawled towards the inside of the room, crying out!
Wan Hao realized that the Gold had isolated the Malevolent Ghost's Supernatural Power from outside the door, which is why their joined hands were unharmed. He suddenly turned and unleashed his strongest strike at that moment!
The fist wearing the Golden Gloves smashed fiercely towards the figure in the Darkness.
“Bang!”
The collision produced a dull sound, and the immense Strength directly repelled the figure. Taking advantage of this opening, Wan Hao quickly shut the door!
Wan Hao glanced at his own dark red, dry palm. The Golden Gloves were gone; the eerie figure outside had snatched them away just now.
Wan Hao braced against the door and could feel the Malevolent Ghost was still outside, but it was making no move now.
“Did I not trigger the rule?”
Wan Hao’s thoughts began to race.
“No! I must have triggered some rule, otherwise it wouldn't have attacked me! It’s just that when it grabbed my hand, the Gold isolated the Supernatural Power! Something must be protecting me now that I’m inside the room!”
Wan Hao, who had spent the afternoon browsing Supernatural websites, was no longer a complete novice. He knew that Malevolent Ghosts needed to trigger a Killing Rule to kill, and as long as the rule wasn't triggered, he wouldn't be attacked.
He had clearly been attacked just now, but he hadn't died. The reason the Malevolent Ghost wasn't continuing its attack now must be due to the room everyone wanted to enter!
“What is different inside the room compared to outside?”
Since the Malevolent Ghost outside the door hadn't moved, Wan Hao finally had time to observe the room.
The room's decor was very old, resembling the style from the Republic of China Era seen in movies: old-fashioned tiles and chandeliers, and slightly faded furniture. The entire room was filled with a gloomy atmosphere that made people very uncomfortable.
“The ghost is here! The ghost is here!”
The Female Student was currently crouched in a corner of the room, hugging her knees and crying.
“What they said is all true, only one person can stay in a room, otherwise it will attract the Malevolent Ghost’s attack…”
The Female Student’s voice was very choked up, and Wan Hao could barely make out what she was saying.
‘What! Only one person per room?’
Wan Hao was shocked in his heart. Didn't this mean he had triggered the Malevolent Ghost's Killing Rule?
No wonder those other rooms wouldn't open for this Female Student and him!
Wait! That’s not right!
If that were the case, why did another person enter room 11?
If so, why didn't the Malevolent Ghost continue to attack him?
As he was thinking, the Ghost Hand bracing the door sent a strange tremor!
Wan Hao turned his head and saw a strange Darkness seeping in through the crack of the old wooden door. That Darkness made the already dim room even more eerie!
Wan Hao’s heart skipped a beat. Worried this might be some method of the Malevolent Ghost’s killing, he quickly backed away.
“Thump! Thump-thump!”
Knocking sounds echoed.
‘Who is outside at this hour?’
The next moment, Wan Hao suddenly realized something was wrong. The Malevolent Ghost was standing outside this room; how could anyone dare to knock?
The one knocking is the Malevolent Ghost!
“What exactly is this ghost’s Killing Rule?”
Wan Hao was confused now. When the ghost first grabbed him, Wan Hao guessed the ghost killed through touch, just like his Ghost Hand, but the Gold had blocked it.
Afterward, the Darkness invaded the room, but neither he nor the Female Student were harmed. Then came this strange knocking, yet he and the Female Student were still unharmed...
“Ghosts don't do meaningless things; this must be some kind of Killing Rule!”
“It has multiple Killing Rules!”
Thinking of this, Wan Hao’s pupils contracted. A Malevolent Ghost with multiple Killing Rules must be terrifying. Could he, who had just managed to Control a Malevolent Ghost, survive?
“Find the Killing Rule…”
The Black Mist enveloped the entire Post Office after the Lights Out, followed by the hand-holding, and finally the knocking.
Fear caused a massive adrenaline surge in Wan Hao, making his whole body tremble slightly.
Wan Hao continuously observed the changes in the room. This room could protect the people inside; otherwise, everyone wouldn't be scrambling for rooms. The chance to survive was in the room!
Thinking this, Wan Hao kept scrutinizing the dim room. Wait!
When did the living room lights go out?
