Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 205 Mailing Address: Fushou Garden, Dahai City!
"Shhh~"

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

After the pale yellow glass container was opened, a strange sound began to echo in the office. The sound was very chaotic, somewhat like electronic noise, and also like the sound of a radio receiving a bad signal in the old days.

As the sound continued, the light in the office gradually dimmed, and a chilling atmosphere spread throughout the office, causing the temperature in the surrounding air to drop significantly.

"Some kind of paranormal phenomenon?"

Seeing this, Li Hui and the other two shifted their gazes slightly, watching the scene quietly, wanting to know what would happen next.

But what people didn't expect was.

The old radio kept emitting strange noises, but the ghost never appeared. Apart from the supernatural power affecting the surrounding environment, there were no other supernatural curses.

It's as if this radio-like object is so old and broken that it can only do this much, or as if the supernatural within it lacks some medium to manifest itself.

"I thought it was something strange, something worth sealing in a gold container, but now it seems it's just like this."

"However, this thing is a supernatural item after all, so I'll keep it with you for now. When you have time, you can study it carefully and see what kind of use this ghostly thing has."

Another seven or eight minutes passed.

Seeing that nothing new had happened around him, Li Hui lost interest and, after saying a few words to He Yuelian, prepared to go downstairs to eat and rest.

"Okay, I understand." He Yuelian responded and put the old radio back into the pale yellow gold container, preparing to tinker with it herself later.

"Is this gone?"

On the other side, Zhang Lei saw that the matter had ended so abruptly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He seemed to regret not being able to see Li Hui and He Yuelian make another move.

He then said, "Captain Li, if there's nothing else you need me to do, I'll be going now."

"I'm all set for now, you two can go and attend to your own business," Li Hui replied.

Upon hearing this, He Yuelian greeted Zhang Lei and then left the office.

Li Hui then got up and left.

that's it.

Time passes minute by minute...

soon.

It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

This time might not feel like anything to ordinary people; it's just a reminder that the sun is about to set and night is about to fall. But for a special group of people, this time is extremely special.

This is because this is usually the time when the ghost post office receives the messenger and enters the post office.

On a commercial street in Dajin City, a thousand miles away from Hangzhou, a group of four people were strolling around chatting and laughing.

Although the sun had not yet completely set, the sky was already less bright than before, and the streetlights along the streets began to turn on.

"Zizi~"

Sudden.

Just as the four of them passed an alleyway, the streetlight standing by the alley suddenly flickered twice, as if there was a problem with the wiring.

This situation did not attract the attention of passersby on the street. Three of the four people just looked up curiously, but a young man in his twenties suddenly changed his expression, as if he had remembered something bad, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.

"What's wrong, Lin Shan? Why do you suddenly look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

The only woman among the four noticed the man's unusual expression and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, the man said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do at home, so I probably won't be able to shop with you for the rest of the time."

"It's okay, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. You can stroll around the street anytime."

"That's right, that's right. If you have something to do at home, you can go back first. Don't worry about us. We'll go back after we finish shopping too."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the other three gestured for the man to go about his business and not to delay the important matter.

Upon seeing this, the man greeted them and quickly turned around to walk back the way he came. He then walked directly into an alleyway he passed.

"Has half a year passed so quickly? That damn post office has reappeared!"

As the man walked into the alley, his expression grew increasingly grim, and he stared intently ahead.

To an ordinary person, this alley is just an ordinary street, but in Lin Shan's view, in addition to the alley itself, there is an additional dark path that does not exist in the real world.

The path winds and twists, becoming increasingly dark as you go deeper, and at the end of the path sits an old building.

It was a five- or six-story building in the style of the Republic of China era, appearing and disappearing in the mist, looking like a mirage or a blurry projection in the distance, making it difficult to see clearly.

But even so.

Yet, one can still see the neon sign flashing above the building's entrance, the colorful lights giving it an extremely bizarre and mysterious feel.

Furthermore, as time went on, even though Lin Shan didn't continue walking forward, the winding path leading to the Ghost Post Office was eerily getting closer and closer to him.

It was as if the path was getting closer to him, or rather, as if the ghost post office was getting closer, closing the distance between Lin Shan and the post office.

In this situation, even if a messenger is unwilling to return to the post office, as time goes by, the messenger will still be forced to go inside once the ghost post office gets close.

This is something we cannot choose or escape.

Knowing this, Lin Shan did not choose to resist, but instead stepped onto the winding path with a gloomy expression and continued along it.

soon.

Lin Shan arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Post Office.

The neon lights flashed and the lights were dazzling around the sign that read "Ghost Post Office" in large characters, but the surrounding area was dark, as if shrouded in fog, and there was nothing to be seen, not even a living person.

It seems that this eerie post office has become the entirety of this place, isolated in some supernatural world, or perhaps this supernatural space itself exists because of this ghostly post office.

"It's 5:40 now, and there are less than 20 minutes left before the post office lights go out at night."

Lin Shan checked the time and then prepared to push open the post office door, go inside, and find a room to hide in.

Because the lights in the post office are turned off precisely at six o'clock, and at that time, evil spirits will roam the building. Only by hiding in a room can you avoid being targeted and attacked by these evil spirits.

"Lin Shan, it's you. I didn't expect you to come in first. Damn it, we've only been resting for half a year, and this damn post office is already issuing mail delivery assignments again. I wonder who will die in the mail delivery process this time."

Just as Lin Shan was about to forcefully push open the door of the Ghost Post Office, a series of broken Chinese words suddenly came from behind him. Then, a blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman walked quickly along the dimly lit path and greeted Lin Shan when she saw him at the entrance.

"Lucy, you've come."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan turned his head and recognized the person who had come.

The other person was a messenger on the fourth floor, just like him, and the two could be considered members of the 'same team,' having gone up from the third floor of the post office to the fourth floor together. Therefore, their delivery times and tasks were the same, and the other person's appearance did not surprise Lin Shan.

"Let's go, Lin Shan, let's go into this damn post office together."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan nodded, then pushed open the post office door with a creak.

After the door was pushed open, the first thing that came into view for the two of them was the lobby on the first floor. This was almost a 'pivot' of the Ghost Post Office. Any messenger entering the Ghost Post Office from the main door would appear in the lobby on the first floor and then go up the stairs to the corresponding floor.

of course.

The first-floor messenger is an exception, because the first-floor messenger does not need to go up the stairs; he can simply walk around the lobby to reach the room where the first-floor messenger is located.

Tatata!
Lin Shan and Lucy did not linger in the lobby on the first floor. They went straight up the old wooden staircase, and their destination was at the end of the staircase.

Unlike the previous three floors.

The environment on the fourth floor of the post office was even more eerie; for example, a corpse was hanging from a yellowish chandelier in the middle of the corridor.

The corpse swayed slightly, causing the light from the chandelier to flicker, as if it had been hanging there for a long time. Even its skin was dry, wrinkled, and appeared black and sallow.

The strangest thing is...

As Lin Shan and his companion moved, the corpse turned slightly, leaving only its curved back visible to them, preventing them from seeing its face. Their vision was forever limited to the back of the withered corpse.

In addition, the rooms on the fourth floor are even more eerie and dilapidated than the previous three floors, because some rooms don't even have doors, as if they were forcibly demolished. The rooms are pitch black and you can't see anything.

Some rooms had black sheets of paper pasted on their doors, glued shut to completely cover the cracks, as if trying to ward off something intruding.

Lin Shan and his companion glanced at it briefly before heading straight for room 407.

Even after reaching the fourth floor, hiding in the messenger's room isn't necessarily 100% safe, because at night, the situation here is dozens or even hundreds of times more dangerous than the previous three floors. So, no room is completely safe, and whether you survive depends entirely on your luck.

Lin Shan and his team had always occupied room 407, so he naturally chose to go into that room.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Why are you two so slow? It's almost 5:50. The Ghost Post Office is about to turn off the lights. I thought you two had died outside. I didn't expect you to be so slow."

When Lin Shan and his companion knocked on the door of room 407 and announced their identities, the voices of other messengers in room 407 could be heard from inside.

However, since they were all in the same room and even from the same squad of messengers, the messenger who had arrived first opened the door and let the two of them in. After they went in, the messenger quickly closed and sealed the door shut.

that's it.

Time quickly passed and it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly, a pitch-black darkness spread from top to bottom, from the fifth floor of the post office to the fourth floor, then to the third floor, the second floor, and the first floor.

The entire post office, except for the messenger's room, was plunged into darkness, and all the lights in the corridors on each floor were turned off.

Tap tap, tap tap tap...

At the same time, a series of dull, stiff footsteps began to echo across the various floors of the post office, sounding quite eerie. Sometimes the footsteps appeared on the fifth floor, sometimes on the third floor, sometimes on the first floor, and sometimes on the fourth floor.

obviously.

The owner of those footsteps was not a living person, but a real vengeful ghost!
Besides the footsteps, there were other strange noises inside the post office, most of which were made by vengeful ghosts, but a small portion of the noises were made by living people.

However, messengers who dare to operate at night are basically extremely powerful ghost controllers. For example, the messenger on the fifth floor returned to the Ghost Post Office for some reason, and Zhang Xianguang, the administrator of the Ghost Post Office, was making some arrangements.

Yes.

At this moment, Zhang Xianguang, whose style of dress was completely out of place in modern times, walked through the ghost post office after the lights were turned off. Even when fierce ghosts passed by him, it was as if they could not see him. In fact, the entire post office was under his control.

After all, he now had the authority of a post office administrator. Not only could he ignore these vengeful ghosts, but he could also completely transform the entire ghost post office in the blink of an eye.

that's it.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When it was six o'clock in the morning, the darkness that had enveloped the post office receded like a tide, and the lights on all the floors came on at the same time.

However, the dim, yellowish light, while providing illumination and a slight glow to the post office, also made the environment appear even more eerie and gloomy.

"We finally made it through the night. I vaguely heard the footsteps of a ghost lingering at the door of our room for a moment last night, but thankfully nothing else happened."

In room 407.

Lucy, with her typical Western features, recounted her discovery from the previous night, letting out a sigh of relief. The others in the room did the same, clearly having also heard the commotion from the previous night.

"The vengeful ghost didn't attack our room last night, which means we were lucky. But this is just the beginning; the real danger lies in the next delivery mission!"

At this moment, Lin Shan spoke, his words full of solemnity, and then pushed open the door of room 407 and walked out.

Almost at the same time.

The doors to the other rooms on the fourth floor of the post office were also pushed open by the messengers hiding inside, and then one by one, the messengers came out.

During this process, a messenger called out loudly, "How is it? Has anyone found the letter to be delivered? What is the address?"

Upon hearing this, most of the messengers looked bewildered, clearly unable to find the letter they were supposed to deliver in their rooms.

But just then, a middle-aged male messenger's voice came from around the corner of the fourth-floor corridor: "Found it, the letter is here!"

Hear the words.

Other messengers quickly gathered around.

Sure enough, there was a letter quietly placed at the corner of the corridor.

But this letter was a striking red!
"Damn it, how could it be a red letter? These kinds of letters almost always result in certain death. Is the Ghost Post Office trying to kill all the messengers on our fourth floor during this delivery mission?!"

Upon seeing this, the crowd immediately stirred, and no one even dared to reach out and pick up the conspicuous red letter.

However, they also knew that the Ghost Post Office's mail delivery mission could not be refused, so after hesitating for a moment, a messenger stepped forward and picked up the red letter.

The person who took the letter was Lin Shan.

The moment the red letter was picked up, the letter quest was triggered. A chilly breeze suddenly blew up, and then words began to appear on the wall of the adjacent corridor.

The writing was entirely black, like ink, crooked and twisted, giving it an eerie feel. In the end, the writing on the wall came together and left an address.

Deliver this letter to the owner of No. 66 Fushouyuan, Dahai City!

[Duration: 5 days!]
