We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 223 Lu Ming easily passed the level and was hung up (4k)

Sun Shi and his companion, whose legs had been broken and who were crouching in the corner trembling, noticed the change in the sounds outside the door and their expressions changed simultaneously.

Sure enough, only one messenger can stay in a room. If too many messengers stay in one room, something bad will happen. This is the rule of the Ghost Post Office.

Before they could react, Lu Ming had already turned his gaze toward them.

"I'm giving you a chance now. Leave the room and stay outside for ten minutes. If you survive, then you're lucky, and I won't pursue the matter any further."

Upon hearing this, the two turned deathly pale, their faces drained of color, and they appeared to be terrified.

What a joke!
Judging from the sound, the ghost had already arrived outside the door.

Putting aside how terrifying the ghost post office is after the lights are out, the very act of having direct, face-to-face contact with a ghost carries enormous risks.

Given their current state of having severed limbs and the possibility of their evil spirits resurrecting at any moment, leaving this room would mean certain death.

Let alone ten minutes, it would be difficult to survive even ten seconds.

However, for the two of them, Lu Ming was not asking for their opinions at all, but rather issuing an order directly, leaving them no room for choice.

"Brother, we've had it tough too, could you...?"

Just as Sun Shi was about to start bargaining, Lu Ming waved his hand and used his Ghost Domain to send him and another person out of the room.

He was right. Lu Ming really didn't intend to ask for his opinion. He asked him to leave the room simply to find out the ghost's killing patterns.

In the blink of an eye, the two found themselves in the empty corridor. This was the magic of the Ghost Realm, which could instantly transfer ghost tamers and even vengeful spirits.

The corridor, including the space outside the grid-shaped corridor, was deathly silent; not a sound could be heard.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...

Just as Sun Shi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that he was lucky and hadn't been targeted by the evil spirit wandering in the post office, the tapping sound suddenly came again.

The sound, which initially sounded crisp, now sounds incredibly grating.

"The ghost is coming!"

Sun Shi felt a jolt of alarm bells going off in his head, and he wanted to escape, but he was too immobile to move.

Even when he tried to use the supernatural powers within him, he discovered that the vengeful spirits he controlled were being suppressed.

Even if the killing pattern of the vengeful spirit within him is triggered, he cannot use terrifying supernatural methods to fight it off.

This is a complete and utter crushing defeat in terms of sheer terror.

···········
The messengers in the other rooms also noticed the unusual activity outside.

Their expressions changed slightly as they watched the slightest movement outside; surely no one would be sleeping tonight.

In such a dreadful place, even ordinary people would suffer from insomnia, let alone these ghost tamers whose mental state was already extremely poor.

However, for many ghost tamers, the presence of supernatural forces sustains their physical functions, which are already quite different from those of normal people.

Even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep for several days, it's fine. Eating and sleeping on time is just a way of deliberately maintaining normal human habits to minimize the impact of paranormal phenomena on me.

The messengers who managed to get to the second floor of the post office all had their own special qualities, and they all knew that watching a play was the best option in this situation.

"There seems to have been some changes to the rules at the post office; I wonder if it's due to the new messengers..."

Some observant messengers have already noticed something amiss and discovered the changes in the post office rules.

Considering the only variable in the Ghost Post Office during this period—the three messengers who had just gone up to the second floor—it was easy to guess the final answer.

"Never mind, we'll die together. This isn't something I should be the only one worrying about."

···········
In the room on the other side.

Lu Ming and the other two observed the situation outside the room.

To prevent Sun Shi and his companion from attracting the ghosts' attention and affecting their room after being sent out of the room by the ghost realm, Lu Ming deliberately placed them in a place a little away from the room.

At first, it was completely silent outside, and no sound came from outside. Sun Shi obviously knew that no matter how nervous he was, he couldn't shout or yell in this situation, otherwise it would not only be useless, but would also make the situation worse.

A moment later, the clattering sound of high heels on the wooden board rang out again.

A scream rang out.

Two blurry black shadows hung in mid-air, drifting back and forth.

The edges of the shadowy figure became somewhat blurred due to a supernatural influence.

However, Lu Ming could still clearly see that the two dark figures were the two messengers he had sent out.

At this moment, both men had a blood-stained rope around their necks, which tightened around their necks and was stained with many spots of blood at the edges.

Without any warning, the two were killed silently, and their deaths were extremely gruesome, just like the teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll) hanging on Lu Ming's waist.

Lu Ming shifted his gaze and saw that Sun Shi was wearing a pair of red high heels.

These high heels are clearly too small, and they're the kind that only women would wear; there's no way they could be on Sun Shi.

But that's just the way it is.

A pair of high heels that didn't belong to him appeared strangely on Sun Shi's severed feet. Then he was hanged in mid-air, swaying back and forth, hidden in the darkness. Only the color of his feet was the most obvious and could be clearly seen.

"I never imagined this ghost could kill so quickly..."

Lu Ming's heart sank.

This ghost is not the same one that was originally wandering in the post office, and judging from the current information, it has little to do with Sister Hong.

This is a completely new and unknown vengeful ghost.

"Captain, should I go block the door?"

The sound of footsteps came again. Although they couldn't see anything clearly, Lu Ming and the others had a premonition that the ghost would soon approach, or even invade their room.

After receiving Lu Ming's confirmation, Li Yang used the supernatural power of the door-blocking ghost to firmly block the door.

After Li Yang blocked the door, it was virtually impossible for the ghost outside to get in. Moreover, even if the ghost was more terrifying than the one blocking the door, forcibly breaking in would trigger the killing pattern of the other ghost inside Li Yang.

Opening the door means certain death.

With these two supernatural elements combined, it would be extremely difficult for the ghost in high heels to break into the room.

I don't know how much time has passed, it feels like a century has gone by.

In such a tense environment, people tend to perceive the passage of time more slowly.

In short, none of the three heard the sound of high heels during this time.

There was no knocking or the sound of someone forcibly breaking down the door.

It was as if the ghost had completely disappeared.

Just then, Lu Ming suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A rough rope with frayed edges was looped around his neck and then pulled sharply, lifting him into the air!
Lu Ming's feet were also slipped into a pair of tiny red high heels, his toes pointing downwards, dangling in mid-air, making him appear as if he were hanging. "Captain Lu!!!"

"team leader!!!"

Sun Rui and Li Yang were shocked.

This sudden, supernatural attack was beyond their expectations.

Sun Rui habitually put his hand to his mouth and coughed violently, as if he were using the supernatural power of the sick ghost.

Li Yang stretched out his pale, cold right hand, its fair skin covered with dense lividity.

Both of them used their supernatural abilities, trying to suppress the eerie red high heels through a supernatural confrontation and save Lu Ming.

However, Lu Ming, who was suspended, had a stiff expression, cloudy and cold eyes. After his eyes moved slightly, he said, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

The next moment, the golden umbrella appeared in Lu Ming's hand. The tip of the umbrella was infused with the supernatural power of the Ghost Cleaver, capable of dismembering even real vengeful ghosts.

So Lu Ming simply waved his hand, and the old rope hanging from his neck snapped, and he returned to the ground, feeling the solid ground beneath his feet.

The high heels on Lu Ming's feet also disappeared along with the old rope.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the wooden door that hadn't moved an inch from the beginning.

"There were no signs of forced entry. Given that Li Yang was blocking the door, this should have been an impossible situation..."

"Unless the horror of this ghost is beyond our comprehension and it can bypass the door-blocking ghost and directly invade the room."

"Or perhaps, this ghost had already invaded before Li Yang blocked the door, but it just hadn't launched a terrifying supernatural attack yet."

Although there was no concrete evidence, Lu Ming generally felt that the latter conjecture was more plausible.

"Be prepared. I just used the umbrella to cut off the ghost's supernatural attack on me. I didn't actually dismember or imprison the ghost."

“The ghosts could come back at any time and attack us when we are not prepared.”

Li Yang and Sun Rui both nodded upon hearing this. Having learned their lesson earlier, they would not let their guard down now, even without Lu Ming speaking.

We must be extremely vigilant to have any chance of dealing with that vengeful ghost.

After attacking Lu Ming once, there was no further sound outside. The ghost in red high heels that had been wandering around the post office seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The rest of the evening was quiet, and nothing major happened.

Lu Ming's concern seemed somewhat unnecessary.

But he knew that the worst thing to do when dealing with paranormal events was to be overconfident and not take the ghosts seriously.

For some extremely terrifying ghosts, even top-tier ghost tamers might accidentally mess things up.

Just like the vengeful ghost codenamed "Quiet" that ran out of the ghost mirror, it can be considered the pinnacle of idealistic vengeful ghosts.

Recalling tonight and the strange events that occurred on the first floor of the post office, Lu Ming thought to himself, "None of the three of us received envelopes from the Ghost Post Office. We became messengers because we deliberately entered the post office, making us outsiders outside the rules."

"Not to mention Zhang Dong was involved as a driving force; if nothing unexpected happens, we should have received some special treatment from the post office..."

Special treatment can be a good thing sometimes, but a bad thing sometimes.

Lu Ming and his group are clearly facing the latter situation.

"The current difficulties are already so hard to deal with, not to mention that I will have to tear up letters one after another... If the difficulty of tearing up the first letter is 2, then the second letter is 4, the third letter is 8, the fourth letter is 16... The difficulty is not a simple addition, but will increase exponentially."

"Fortunately, I didn't come away empty-handed from this awful post office."

Besides the supernatural weapon, the golden umbrella, which was just obtained at the Caesars Hotel.

Lu Ming will also gain the right to use the Ghost Bride's bridal chamber.

By then, the wedding will be almost ready to take place.

This is the most important path for Lu Ming to become an outlier among outliers.

···········
At six o'clock in the morning, the dim and oppressive lights in the room were turned off precisely on time.

The lights in the post office lobby then came on.

The dark, ghostly post office welcomed another new day.

According to the rules, Lu Ming and his team should receive a new envelope as a task on the new day.

But Lu Ming and his group searched the room thoroughly and still couldn't find the envelope that should have been there.

"Go out and see."

Lu Ming arrived at the corridor outside the room.

The bodies of the two messengers were still hanging in mid-air, swaying precariously, and they were still wearing red high heels.

The messengers, emerging from their respective rooms, also noticed the presence of the two corpses.

The two ghost tamers died just like that, their deaths were unclear and extremely frustrating.

Everyone looked at Lu Ming and his two companions with wary eyes.

They were still unsure whether yesterday's anomaly was related to these three guys, but Sun Shi did indeed have a conflict with them, and then Sun Shi died.

At this point, anyone with a brain would know that Lu Ming was definitely not someone to mess with. If you messed with such a killing god, your end would certainly not be good.

"What's going on? Why are there so many messengers appearing all at once? There aren't even enough rooms left, and the messengers are even fighting over rooms..."

"The Ghost Post Office is malfunctioning, but the specifics are still unclear."

"What a joke, there are people staying in other rooms too, that makes more than a dozen people... I knew something was wrong this time. I just delivered a letter last week, there's no way it's my turn now."

“Something is definitely not right. The strangest thing is that I still haven’t received the letter that was supposed to be delivered.”

The messengers wisely refrained from discussing the deceased Sun Shi and instead exchanged other matters.

Logically, the fact that the messengers on the second floor have been gathered by the Ghost Post Office means that a new mail delivery mission has arrived.

But no one could find the envelope that needed to be sent.

This anomaly indicates that some kind of change is about to occur.

The current calm is merely the calm before the storm.

"Oh?"

From listening to their conversation, Lu Ming gleaned a lot of information.

"It seems that going from the second floor to the third floor is easier than I expected."
