Chapter 210 The Horror After Lights Out! Wang Shan: I've Chosen the Right Guru! (4.2k)

Every evening at six o'clock, the post office lights out, and anyone who remains in the post office at that time without returning to their room will be killed by the vengeful ghosts wandering in the post office.

These are the basic rules of the Ghost Post Office, and there are almost no surprises.

However, when it comes to supernatural matters, Lu Ming couldn't be so sure.

After all, this place used to be a place for selecting ghost tamers, but later, like a ghost bus, it started to malfunction and some basic rules could not be strictly followed.

Beside them, apart from Wang Shan, the other four messengers were all terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

They realized that there was clearly one less room available, which meant that after the post office lights went out, at least one messenger would be thrown out by Lu Ming and would not be protected by the room.

Based on their past experience, if you don't return to your room after the lights are turned off, you will definitely be killed, without exception.

The messenger who is kicked out of their original room and forced to spend the night outside will most likely be one of the four of them.

As for Wang Shan...
He doesn't need to worry about that.

Because he was the first to offer upstairs the letter, even if Lu Ming wanted to kick a messenger out of his room, he would not choose Wang Shan.

Therefore, it seems that the only ones who need to be afraid are the remaining few.

Wang Shan, who was standing nearby, reminded him, "Captain Lu, it's almost six o'clock, hurry up and go back to your room."

Lu Ming nodded; he really didn't want to linger outside for too long.

For Lu Ming, surviving a night outside the Ghost Post Office might not be impossible, but it wasn't necessary.

"Li Yang, Sun Rui, you two will share a room with me, and you, Wang Shan, I think highly of you, so you can stay with us."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

This Lu Ming actually wants four people to live in the same room?
Given the size of the messenger's room, it was impossible for four people to live there.

Not to mention this is a ghost post office. Four people living in one room would definitely break the rules. This isn't just about squeezing in; it could very well cost you your life.

Wang Shan, in particular, was stammering and seemed unsure of what to do.

Judging from Lu Ming's words, it seems that inviting him to live together is for his own good.

If Lu Ming insists, Wang Shan certainly wouldn't dare refuse this "kind offer."

But if you ask him if he's willing, he definitely won't.

"Captain Lu... it's not that I don't want to live with you. If we were outside, let alone sharing a room, even if Captain Lu wanted to do something to me, I certainly wouldn't refuse."

Wang Shan's explanation at this point was somewhat incoherent, and he appeared quite flustered.

"The problem is that only one person can live in this room. If too many people live there, something bad will happen. It seems to trigger some kind of murder pattern, and they will be killed by ghosts."

Upon hearing this, before Lu Ming could speak, Sun Rui had already raised his golden cane, intending to strike Wang Shan twice.

"What do you mean? Does our Captain Lu look like the kind of person who's not serious? What do you mean by wanting to do something to you?"

Lu Ming waved his hand, dismissing Sun Rui, then looked at Wang Shan coldly and said, "I have made my decision. You just need to do as I say."

"As for what you said about something going wrong, I've already considered that, so you don't need to worry about it."

Lu Ming could easily throw out a messenger, and then each of them could have a room and spend the night there.

After all, none of the messengers at the Ghost Post Office are innocent.

Even if they themselves have no intention of harming people, to put it bluntly, these messengers are doing things for the ghosts.

Each letter sent out triggers a paranormal event.

Lu Ming wouldn't feel any guilt if he killed someone here.

But Lu Ming ultimately did not do so.

Because he knew very well that some of the rules of the Ghost Post Office had become invalid, and even if each person stayed in a room, it was not necessarily safe.

Moreover, his arrival here was arranged by Zhang Dong.

Zhang Xianguang had also been secretly keeping an eye on him.

Given the relationship between Zhang Dong and Zhang Xianguang, it wouldn't be difficult for them to tamper with things in this awful post office.

In other words, if Lu Ming continues to think in the same way he always has, he will definitely suffer a loss.

He himself doesn't need to worry too much about having a room to himself, but Sun Rui and Li Yang are very likely to be defeated one by one.

After careful consideration, Lu Ming's final decision was to have four people share a room, so that he could take care of them in case of any emergencies.

Lu Ming's attitude was very firm and resolute.

With the thick, mercury-like darkness drawing near, the group didn't have much time to think.

So Wang Shan had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

In reality, he was still quite unsure about it.

The messengers on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

They were surprised that Lu Ming would make such a choice, having four people squeeze into one room.

Regardless, this is a good thing for them.

"They do have the ability, but they are still a bit too confident. If they violate the rules of the Ghost Post Office, even the most powerful ghost tamer will be defeated."

"With this kind of personality, it's likely that one will have to suffer a few losses before learning a lesson. Unfortunately, most people only have one chance to make a mistake in paranormal events. Once they make a mistake, the outcome is death, with almost no exceptions."

Each messenger was secretly pondering their own plans.

If Lu Ming wants to die, let him go. As long as it doesn't involve them, it's fine. A Ghost Tamer whose strength far surpasses theirs is an unstable factor and not a good thing.

puff!

With a flicker, the last light in the post office went out, and the dim yellow light faded completely.

Darkness enveloped the entire post office.

The first to fifth floors were shrouded in deathly darkness and silence.

Even the neon lights next to the sign outside the door appeared dim and lifeless.

At this final juncture, all the messengers returned to their rooms.

The other messengers each had their own room, but Lu Ming's group was the strangest: four big men, Sun Rui, Lu Ming, Li Yang, and Wang Shan, were crammed into a small room.

Although Wang Shan was unwilling and even a little apprehensive, he still stayed in the room as Lu Ming had instructed.

He didn't know if his decision was right or wrong; he could only say he was acting on instinct.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

A hollow sound came from somewhere in the darkness of the post office.

The sound was faint, like stepping on a wooden board. The strangest thing was that the creaking sound of stepping on the board was unpredictable, sometimes appearing on the fifth floor and sometimes suddenly on the third floor, without any transition. It was as if it appeared out of thin air from one place to another.

A ghost appeared.

Just as Wang Shan said, and just as Lu Ming had anticipated.

Every night at six o'clock, after the lights are turned off, a vengeful ghost appears in the Ghost Post Office.

According to the original rules of the post office, it was safe to hide in the room, but now the ghost post office has become too eerie.

Is it really safe to hide in a room?

Lu Ming had doubts about this.

···········
The four entered room number seven on the side.

This place is indeed connected to the rooms on the fourth floor of the Caesars Hotel, as can be seen from the decorating style.

Old tiles, chandeliers, and faded, worn-out furniture.

The entire room exuded a gloomy atmosphere, making people feel very uncomfortable.

“You can rest as you like. If you encounter anything unusual or dangerous, I will wake you up.” Upon hearing this, Sun Rui, who was leaning on his cane, widened his eyes.

Are you kidding me?
In this situation, who can sleep?

The ghosts are outside, and since they've violated some of the Ghost Post Office's rules, they're likely to be attacked by them.

Anyone who can still sleep peacefully under these circumstances is undoubtedly a superhuman.

Li Yang said, "Captain Lu, Sun Ge and I are both ghost controllers. We often stay up all night. Today is our first night in the post office. Just tell us what you need. Don't worry about how we feel."

Wang Shan was jolted awake and quickly added, "I was a notorious night owl in high school, I never slept."

Crunch!

As the group was talking, suddenly, the sound of the ghost stepping on the wooden plank approached abruptly, appearing outside the door without any warning.

The ghost is coming!
The room suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to speak again.

Nobody knows the specific killing pattern of this ghost.

Or perhaps, it has more than one pattern of killing.

Any rash action could lead to unbearable consequences.

Outside the room, the old wooden door was warped. Even when closed, it wasn't completely sealed, leaving a gap about the thickness of a finger, much like the men's restrooms in many public places.

Through the cracks in the door, he could clearly see the writhing darkness outside, a darkness that seemed to have materialized and even seeped in a little.

Sun Rui and Li Yang didn't dare to breathe, staring intently at the darkness that was about to crawl in through the door.

According to Li Yang's plan, he actually wanted to use the supernatural power of the door-blocking ghost to block the door.

Because such a dilapidated wooden door, left half-open and without a latch, makes people feel very unsafe.

Li Yang subtly gave Lu Ming a wink, but Lu Ming's expression remained unchanged, as if everything that had happened so far was under his control.

Seeing that Lu Ming made no move, Li Yang decided not to act rashly.

He knew that his experience in handling paranormal events was far inferior to that of the captain, so he ultimately chose to follow Lu Ming's instructions.

When dealing with paranormal events, simply following orders is definitely not enough.

It also requires absolute determination, and there can be no doubt or hesitation.

Li Yang can fulfill this requirement very well, which is why Lu Ming is so willing to train him.

Thump, thump!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the wooden door.

Moreover, with the knocking, the already precarious wooden door began to shake again, causing a heart-wrenching sight.

Thump, thump!
This dull yet rhythmic sound is reminiscent of the "knocking ghost" incident that occurred at the No. 7 Middle School in Dachang City.

But Lu Ming knew that the ghost in the post office didn't kill people by knocking on the door.

Knocking on the door is just one of its methods. If you hear this kind of knocking, there is no need to panic. Just wait quietly for what happens next.

What follows may be even more terrifying dangers, or nothing may happen at all, and it may just be a false alarm.

Lu Ming remained calm because he did not sense any impending danger.

At least not in the short term.

If Sun Rui's theory is correct, then the ghost tamer can sense the killing patterns of another ghost through the ghost within their body.

For Lu Ming, this feeling would undoubtedly be much stronger than that of other ghost tamers.

As it turned out, Lu Ming's judgment was correct.

Just before darkness was about to invade room number seven, the footsteps suddenly faded into the distance.

Crunch!Crunch!
It was another hollow sound from stepping on the wooden planks.

This time, however, the sound came from the end of a corridor on the first floor.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lu Ming and the others could hear the ghost knocking on the door again.

"This direction... that's probably room number one, and people live in there."

After the knock, there was only deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a bloodcurdling scream rang out, sounding extremely shrill.

The person in room number one died, and the ghost invaded room number one and killed the messenger who lived there.

"How is this possible? The other rooms only had one person staying in them, so why did the messenger in one of them also die?"

Wang Shan felt incredulous.

At the same time, I'm somewhat glad I made that decision.

If he were left alone in a room and attacked by that ghost outside, he would definitely die.

However, with Lu Ming's protection now, while they may not be guaranteed to survive, they at least have the confidence and hope to fight against the ghosts.

Apart from Wang Shan, the remaining messengers were even more horrified.

Although the messenger from room number one was killed by the demon, it doesn't mean they can sit back and watch the show without a care in the world.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be their turn soon.

"Damn it! That ghost is coming this way..."

Room number two was occupied by a middle-aged bald man with a fierce expression who didn't look like someone to be trifled with.

But in the face of a real vengeful ghost, his usual methods are nothing.

"what!"

Screams sounded one after another.

The vengeful ghost began a brutal massacre.

The anomalies that occurred at the Ghost Post Office tonight even exceeded Lu Ming's expectations.

The ghost wandering in the post office seemed to have ignored the room's protection and began killing people randomly.

It would leave a long gap between each of its killings.

However, this interval does not make people feel relaxed; instead, it feels like waiting before execution, causing great torment.

The strangest thing is that this ghost was killing people specifically targeting the messenger on the first floor.

There were no abnormalities on the second, third, and fourth floors.

"It must be related to my arrival."

Lu Ming thought to himself.

Although there is no evidence for this speculation, it is quite reasonable.

Suddenly, Li Yang asked, "The ghost killed all the other messengers on the first floor, but spared us. Does this mean that some rules in the post office have changed, that only those who are alone will be killed by the ghost, and that sticking together like us will allow us to survive?"

"It's possible."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

The demons did indeed kill all the messengers except for them.

Even at the very beginning, the ghost appeared at the door of room number seven.

But it didn't kill anyone; it just knocked on the twisted wooden door and then left on its own.

It looked as if the ghost had let room number seven go.

But before Lu Ming could finish speaking, a clear creaking sound rang out.

Thump, thump!
A dull, suppressed knocking sound came from the darkness within sight.
