Chapter 15 Refusal of Support, Chapter 2 Ghost Post Office
"The 'knocking ghost' incident has broken out in the center of Dachang City. It covers a large area and affects many ordinary people. We would like to ask if you can provide assistance."
"Where is the person in charge of Dachang City? And I remember there's a Ghost Tamer Club in Dachang City, right? Why are you looking for me?" Sun Rui asked.
"Zhao Kaiming, the person in charge of Dachang City, is already in trouble. We can't contact the Ghost Rider Club. The headquarters is thinking that Dahan City is very close to Dachang City, and it only takes a little over an hour to get there by private jet. We hope you can go and provide support."
"I refuse. If I go, it will only add another resurrected vengeful ghost to the scene."
Seeing that Sun Rui had already said so much, he didn't know what else to say, so he quickly hung up the phone and went to contact other people.
"The vengeful ghosts will leave after killing people, but they insist on sending the ghost tamers to their deaths. This only makes things more complicated." Sun Rui sighed. "The way headquarters handles paranormal events is a bit outdated. It might have been okay a few years ago, since back then the ghost tamers couldn't see any hope of survival."
"After calculating the time, the method of using a second ghost to extend the life of the ghost tamer will be made public in a little over two months. At that time, who would be willing to deal with paranormal events if there were no benefits?"
Of course, Sun Rui also knew that the headquarters had accumulated a lot of imprisoned vengeful ghosts in the early stages, and the headquarters was the choice of most people in charge if they wanted to control a second ghost.
Meanwhile, the headquarters has many supernatural items, such as ghost candles that can't be bought on the market, which the headquarters has several boxes of, as well as substitute dolls that can be used to take someone's place... The headquarters has too many good things, but its downside is that it's too stingy.
The headquarters' stinginess has led to the deaths of many leaders; for example, Dachang City is now in its third leadership position.
"Fortunately, there are no paranormal events in my Dahan City," Sun Rui muttered to himself. All the paranormal events in Dahan City were secretly handled by Zhang Xianguang, so he was not subject to the control of headquarters to a certain extent. As long as he managed the city under his responsibility, he could ignore some of the orders from headquarters.
After refusing the support, Sun Rui drove around the city of Dahan for a while, but he still had to do the pretense of giving it away.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Sun Rui sat alone in his office. His next letter was either today or tomorrow, so he cleared the entire floor out in advance.
Around 5:30, a winding path appeared in the office. Sun Rui picked up the phone and dialed Lin Zhensheng's number.
"Light the letter; my next letter is coming."
"I've also encountered a ghost post office on this road!" Lin Zhensheng said.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't light the letter; he appeared on his own."
Sun Rui was taken aback. This meant that Lin Zhensheng's delivery mission had been brought forward, and that it was related to the messenger on the second floor. Without thinking too much, Sun Rui set off for the Ghost Post Office.
"Advanced ghost post office!"
Inside the Ghost Post Office.
After Sun Rui went inside, he found a strange young man groping around on the wall. He was probably a newcomer to the Ghost Post Office. Sun Rui ignored him.
A moment later, Lin Zhensheng walked in through the main gate.
"Sun Rui, what's going on? Why is my letter so early?" Lin Zhensheng asked. The post office's mail delivery intervals are not fixed, so it's not surprising if they are a little longer or shorter, but seven days early is obviously very abnormal.
"You'll most likely still be on a group mail delivery mission. Be careful of the messengers on the second floor," Sun Rui said. He knew this situation; usually, a ghost had infiltrated the post office, or a ghost tamer had forcibly entered. For the ghost post office to maintain normal operation, it had to clear out these people or ghosts. Lin Zhensheng's letter would be extremely difficult.
Although Lin Zhensheng didn't fully understand what he meant, he still nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go up first. The Ghost Post Office will be turning off its lights soon."
After Lin Zhensheng left, Sun Rui prepared to return to the room from last time, at which point the unfamiliar young man walked over.
"Hello, my name is Wen Lei. Do you know where this is?" He politely extended his hand to shake hands with Sun Rui.
"This is the Ghost Post Office. The lights go out at six o'clock. You can't stay outside after the lights go out, or you'll be killed by a vengeful ghost. Of course, you can try to see if you die." Sun Rui didn't reach out his hand, he just said simply.
"A ghost?" Wen Lei instinctively shrank his neck.
Not long ago, he received a letter without a signature or address. He subconsciously opened the letter, and soon a path appeared in front of him. He didn't want to step onto that path, but it kept getting closer to him, so he had no choice but to walk on it and that's how he ended up here.
Before Wen Lei could react, Sun Rui had already closed the door.
"Forget it, let's find a room first. What if what he said is true? I'd be doomed then." Wen Lei finally chose room number 12 next to Sun Rui's.
At six o'clock sharp, the Ghost Post Office turned off its lights, and the darkness in the corridor immediately intensified.
This time, Sun Rui didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully to the sounds outside. The Ghost Post Office had changed, and he wanted to determine whether these changes would endanger his safety.
One hour... two hours, until five hours passed, and it was still quiet outside. Just as Sun Rui was about to rest, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, as if someone was walking outside.
At night, how could there possibly be anyone outside the Ghost Post Office? There's only one answer: the footsteps were made by a ghost.
"Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight. If this ghost breaks in in the middle of the night while I'm still sleeping, I'm doomed," Sun Rui thought to himself. Although he wasn't sure how terrifying the ghost was, he still had to be careful.
All night long, Sun Rui leaned against the door and rested with his eyes closed. To prevent himself from falling asleep suddenly, he set his satellite phone to vibrate every now and then. He rested like this until the next morning, when the footsteps outside the door disappeared.
"It's finally over." Sun Rui is still human at heart, and the anxiety he felt all night made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Logically speaking, the Ghost Post Office is not out of control yet, and it can still maintain normal operation. So the ghost that made the footsteps last night is very likely from the second floor, and the second floor's mission this time is to get rid of this ghost."
This time, Sun Rui saw a letter on the bedside table. This time, he delivered the letter alone. Sun Rui picked up the yellowed letter, and several lines of blood-red words appeared on the bedside table:
[Delivered to a blood-soaked man in Luoshan Village, Dachang City, with a three-day time limit.]
Sun Rui put the letter in the body bag, opened the door, and the man named Wen Lei from last night also came out of room 12, holding a letter in his hand.
"As expected, the vengeful ghost last night wasn't that scary." Sun Rui pondered. "Besides that crazy woman who's disappeared somewhere, the only other people on the first floor right now are me and this newcomer, and neither of us have been attacked by the vengeful ghost."
"Is this letter for a ghost? Do I have to deliver it? What will happen if I don't?" Wen Lei's face showed some fear. He had just seen a letter on his bedside table. When he picked it up, a line of bloody words appeared on the table, which almost scared him to death.
"You'll die if you don't complete the mission," Sun Rui said. He wasn't really interested in this newcomer, but since everyone else was treating him kindly, he figured he could explain the rules to him.
"Can you help me?" Wen Lei asked instinctively.
Sun Rui's face immediately turned cold: "Don't push your luck. If you can't see the situation clearly, then go and kill yourself."
After saying that, he walked out of the Ghost Post Office without waiting for Lin Zhensheng to come down from upstairs. Since they were all in Dahan City, Sun Rui was curious about where Lin Zhensheng's letter would be sent.
