Hearing the movement outside the door, Wan Hao immediately stood up again, his Ghost Hand touching the doorknob, his entire body tense.
"Damn it, I still lack experience!"
"When I was suppressing it just now, I should have apprehended it immediately!"
Wan Hao felt some regret.
Indeed, in a Supernatural Event, one must be decisive once action is taken. Because I have only recently encountered Supernatural Events, I wasn't decisive enough. If I had apprehended that ghost earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble.
Wan Hao took off the Backpack he was carrying, took out a Golden Corpse Bag from inside, and leaned against the door, ready to act at any moment!
"Thud!"
Wan Hao swallowed, the pain from using Supernatural Power had just faded, and he was still shaken.
"Damn it, do I have to use Supernatural Power again?"
Wan Hao looked at the effect the Ghost Hand had on him; he was quite afraid of it, Captain Wang's words seemed to echo in his ears.
The ghost he controls is terrifying, and its Revival will be very fast.
The Malevolent Ghost outside stood up but did not continue knocking or trying to open the door with the doorknob; it just stood outside, and after a moment, it turned and left.
Wan Hao heard the footsteps of the Malevolent Ghost leaving and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"That's a relief. Although I don't know why it stopped attacking, this means I don't have to use the ghost's power."
As the footsteps faded away, the room became quiet and peaceful. The Female Student, having seen Wan Hao fight the ghost, was stunned and stopped crying.
Inside the room, one person squatted in the corner, and another leaned against the door. The atmosphere under the dim light seemed somewhat Eerie.
After a long time, there was still no movement outside, which made Wan Hao slightly confused, making the Killing Rule of this Malevolent Ghost even harder to figure out.
If the ghost attacked because there was an extra person in the room, why was there no movement at all in Room 11?
It couldn't be that it wouldn't attack because the other person was an acquaintance, right?
Unable to figure out the connection, Wan Hao looked towards the Female Student.
Seeing Wan Hao look at her, the Female Student trembled, seemingly about to cry again. Wan Hao could Hear her stifled sobs.
Glancing at his Ghost Hand, Wan Hao put the Golden Gloves back on, but he only had one glove left; the other had been snatched by that Malevolent Ghost.
He pulled down his sleeve, trying not to reveal it and scare the Female Student.
"I am an Interpol Officer. Can you tell me about the situation here?"
To increase credibility, Wan Hao took out his identification from his Backpack and tossed it far away. Seeing the Female Student's appearance, Wan Hao feared approaching her would scare her into crying.
It seemed the identity of a police officer gave the Female Student a bit of security. She cautiously picked up the identification from the floor to examine it.
But she didn't know how to distinguish the authenticity of the identification; she just looked at the introduction on it and compared it with the photo.
After confirming Wan Hao was indeed a Criminal Police officer, she shakily stood up, still somewhat afraid, lowered her head, walked in front of Wan Hao, and handed the identification back to him.
"Uncle Police Officer, my name is Wei Ying."
Wan Hao: .
After taking the identification, Wan Hao started walking inside. After the pain from the Ghost Hand subsided, Wan Hao felt his legs were weak and wanted to find a place to sit down.
He walked to a chair in the living room and sat down, then pointed to the bed in the bedroom and said:
"Sit down and talk!"
Wei Ying was very obedient, perhaps because of Wan Hao's Interpol Officer status or because she had seen Wan Hao fight the ghost earlier; she followed his instructions completely at this moment.
After Wei Ying sat down, Wan Hao asked.
"How did you get here?"
Wei Ying wiped the tear stains from her face, revealing a delicate and youthful countenance; she looked like a high school student.
"I was originally from XX School, but one day at home, I Heard someone ringing the doorbell. When I opened the door, I saw a letter on the ground, so I picked it up... Since then, I have become a Messenger."
Wei Ying recounted her experience of arriving at the Ghost Post Office; it was basically the same as Wan Hao's—someone delivered a letter, and then she Saw the Ghost Post Office and was forced to come here.
"What do you mean by Messenger? Are you delivering mail too?"
Wei Ying still hid nothing and honestly answered Wan Hao's questions.
"Everyone who comes here becomes a Messenger and must complete the letters assigned by the Post Office."
Wan Hao frowned. He had also been delivered a letter—that red letter made him a Ghost Controller.
Is the opportunity to become a Ghost Controller contained within these letters?
Wan Hao thought this, but his face showed no expression.
"Have you delivered a letter?"
"Yes, I have delivered one letter. My letter was to be delivered to the entrance of a courtyard. After delivering the letter, I observed for a moment and saw an adult pick up the letter, and then I didn't know anything else."
Wan Hao frowned upon hearing this. Isn't this exploiting a bug?
Delivering a letter makes others become Messengers, and those others deliver letters, leading more people to become Messengers...
"Have you seen him come to the Post Office?"
Wei Ying shook her head.
"The Post Office sends letters once every seven days. Everyone must wait until their scheduled delivery time to come here."
Wei Ying seemed to recall something and added, "But I heard an older sister say that the Higher Floor Messengers can enter and exit the Post Office freely and don't have to passively wait for the Post Office to appear like the newcomers on the first floor."
Wan Hao was curious about the older sister Wei Ying mentioned. Was that person a Ghost Controller or a high-level Messenger?
"What is the name of the older sister you mentioned? Do you have her contact information?" Wan Hao asked. He could tell the Female Student didn't know much and planned to use his Strength to investigate this person after leaving the Post Office to gather more intelligence from her.
"She said her name was Liu Qingqing. I wanted to latch onto her back then, but she said to wait until I got to the second floor."
Upon hearing this, Wan Hao sighed inwardly. Without a number, investigating would be too troublesome; just knowing the name meant too many people shared it across the country.
And considering the Eerie way the Post Office appeared and pulled him here, these Messengers were clearly from all corners of the world, making finding someone extremely difficult.
"You mentioned going to the second floor just now? How do you get to the second floor? I didn't see any stairs when I arrived!"
"I only heard this from that older sister. She said everyone who comes to the Post Office needs to deliver three letters. The first floor is once every seven days; the further up you go, the longer the delivery interval becomes, but you must complete three letters on each floor before you can go up."
From what Liu Qingqing said, Wan Hao felt the difficulty of delivering mail didn't seem too high?
It was just that the time interval was too long. To reach the second floor now, he would still need fourteen days, and the time extends with every floor ascended. It would take a very long time to clear this Post Office.
But Wan Hao was already feeling some anticipation now. He looked at his hand and thought:
'I wonder if the letters in this Post Office allow one to Control a Malevolent Ghost, or if it requires letters from higher floors...'
Thinking of this, Wan Hao asked again, "Then how do I know what my delivery letter will be?"
