The Fifth Floor Messenger attacked Yang Jian, ultimately leading to failure.
As the price of failure, including Leuk Qingqing, a total of seven messengers, five died. Of the remaining two, one is about to succumb to ghost revival, and the other has given up fighting seeing the situation hopeless.
All of this happened within a mere dozen minutes.
This short period wouldnât even be enough for breakfast outside, but here, it has already determined the entire direction of the Ghost Post Office, and its existence is very likely tied to the secrets of supernatural incidents.
Yang Jian ignored Leuk Qingqing, who stood motionless without a breath, and instead walked directly to Liu Ziwenâs side.
At this moment, Liu Ziwenâs eyes were blind, his hearing was nearly gone, and even his other senses were greatly affected, an impact that continued to intensify.
Ghost revival is an irreversible condition, and to this day, thereâs still no solution.
Yang Jian didnât care much; he grabbed Liu Ziwenâs neck and lifted him up entirely.
Ghost Hand suppression.
The Ghost Shadow invaded, and began to extract Liu Ziwenâs memories.
The Fifth Floor Messengers each had their intelligence information. Yang Jian needed to collect the information in these messengersâ minds to better understand the Ghost Post Office.
Liu Ziwen struggled instinctively, trying to escape Yang Jian and catch his breath.
But it was all futile.
The Ghost Shadow invaded Liu Ziwenâs head, and then a strange memory began to appear.
Liu Ziwen stopped struggling, he only rolled his eyes weakly and dangled, his consciousness was fading, while a supernatural power not only stole his memories but also erased them.
âGhost Blind⊠one-time supernatural item, life-buying money, controlling a ghost but managed to prevent ghost revival for ten years⊠seems like Iâve discovered some extraordinary intelligence information.â Yang Jianâs eyes flickered, having extracted valuable intel while retrieving Liu Ziwenâs memories.
The reason the Fifth Floor Messengers survived without dying from ghost revival was not only due to rarely using supernatural powers but also another reason.
Someone helped them suppress the ghost revival.
In the memory, Liu Ziwen went to an old shop, a traditional Chinese medicine store located in a dilapidated alley. The store owner was⊠just as Yang Jian was about to see the ownerâs appearance, suddenly, Liu Ziwen let out a horrifying scream.
His ears, eyes, and mouth were bleeding, painfully distorted.
The memory was mysteriously interfered with, making it impossible to steal the impression of the shop owner.
Eventually.
Liu Ziwen stopped struggling, his face twisted, covered with blood, dying miserably in agony.
Yang Jian opened his eyes, the Ghost Shadow retreated from Liu Ziwenâs corpse, although the extracted memory was slightly incomplete, all that needed to be known was understood.
Although the shop ownerâs appearance is unknown, he knows the location of the shop.
This intelligence is quite enough.
âThat shop owner helped Liu Ziwen suppress the ghost, extending the time of its reviving, and it seems not only him, but other Fifth Floor Messengers know of such a place. Zhao Feng appears not to be that cohesive, surprisingly not in his memory, interestingâŠâ Yang Jian thought secretly.
He set this matter aside temporarily, then fished out an item from Liu Ziwenâs pocket.
A paper currency, colorful and green, not too old, like something from ten or twenty years ago, most importantly, it has a denomination, saying seven yuan.
A seven yuan note, falsely made, not even found in printed joss paper.
But this was the paper money Liu Ziwen risked his life to obtain from a postal task, although this was just one of them, memory indicates he obtained three, yet used up two others.
This paper currency is extremely special.
According to the intelligence in Liu Ziwenâs memory, in supernatural events, if this currency is given to the ghost, the ghost will never attack you anymore.
Remember, forever.
Even if you meet killing criteria, the ghost wonât target you. You could dance before a ghost if youâre daring enough.
This reminded Yang Jian of the saying: Money makes the ghost turn the mill.
âAn incredible supernatural item; Liu Ziwen never used this last note, unexpectedly benefiting me. Ensuring a ghost never attacks you has far stronger effects compared to a substitute doll, a Ghost Candle. Used wisely, it can solve an S-level supernatural event.â
Yang Jian was astonished, wishing he could fish out more from Liu Ziwenâs corpse.
Sadly, this thing appears to be one-time, non-reproducible; Liu Ziwen himself acquired it accidentally, once used, possibly gone.
Looking at the special seven yuan currency in hand, he solemnly pocketed it.
Then.
Yang Jian inspected Liu Ziwenâs memory once more, ensuring nothing was overlooked before discarding the corpse aside.
As for the ghost within the body.
He doesnât need it.
The ghost Liu Ziwen controlled wasnât strong, merely restricted Yang Jianâs Ghost Eye somewhat, but limitedly so, offering little value unless captured to sell or tossed into the Ghost Gate.
Yet now wasnât the time to clean up the scene.
Leuk Qingqing lost consciousness but isnât dead, a new awareness is emerging.
Additionally, Wang Yong is still alive.
At this moment.
Yang Jian turned to look at Wang Yong, and spotted Li Yang who nearly got killed.
It was clear that Li Yang wasnât a match in the earlier confrontation between them.
But Li Yang did his best to stall Wang Yong, preventing him from aiding Leuk Qingqing. If Li Yang couldnât hold on and died suddenly, Yang Jian would have had to face another Messenger, and the situation might have taken a different turn.
âWhy did you hold back?â Yang Jian saw the shovel Wang Yong had tossed aside.
That was no ordinary shovel. If it hit, Li Yang would have surely died, yet Wang Yong abandoned it.
âKilling him wouldnât solve anything, thereâs no point. Leuk Qingqing has already lost, Liu Ziwen is dead, and I canât handle you alone,â Wang Yong said.
Li Yang struggled to stand up again at this moment: âCaptain, Iâm sorry to have disappointed you.â
âNo, you did well. The Fifth Floor Messengers vary in strength. You faced a relatively strong Messenger. Making it this far is commendable. Leave the rest to me; go back and get some rest later on, after all thereâs no delivery task now,â Yang Jian said.
This Wang Yong controlled two ghosts, possessed a Ghost Domain, and had supernatural weapons.
With such power, he would be a top-notch ghost handler in the supernatural circle outside, and in the headquarters, he would even qualify for a team leader nomination. Heâs impressive, but still a bit short compared to Yang Jian. However, dealing with Li Yang and Feng Quan, he could easily gain an advantage.
âHe has the Ghost Domain, and that shovel is very dangerous. Wang Yong has the ability to counter-kill instantly; Captain, be cautious,â Li Yang reminded.
This wasnât reserved in front of Wang Yong.
Although Wang Yong seemed unwilling to act now, who knows if heâs doing it on purpose. The shovel might be on the ground, but as long as Wang Yong wanted, he could immediately pick it up and smash it onto Yang Jianâs head.
This possibility cannot be ignored.
Wang Yong said, âYou outside ghost handlers are truly extraordinary. Adding the experience of a Messenger, losing to you isnât unjust at all.â
Even though heâs a Fifth Floor Messenger, so are Yang Jian and Li Yang.
More importantly, they have an additional role, ghost handlers.
They have long dealt with supernatural events, boasting more experience and cunning than the Fifth Floor Messengers.
Moreover, the Fifth Floor Messengers have been mingling among ordinary people for over ten years, so their skills have undoubtedly declined. Thus, losing this time isnât seen as capsizing; itâs simply that Yang Jian and Li Yang are stronger, and they are falling behind, facing elimination.
âNow, you can do it. Kill me, and this matter will end here. The affairs of the post office wonât concern us dead ones anymore,â Wang Yong said, his expression peaceful, ready to die here.
Being a Fifth Floor Messenger, this point of acceptance was something he already had.
Lost is lost.
Nothing unacceptable.
Yang Jian looked at Li Yang, then at him and said, âTo be honest, I donât really want to kill you. You have the capability, the brains, and the Fifth Floor Messenger also has experience in handling supernatural events, youâre talented. And although you won against Li Yang earlier, you didnât kill him. While I donât know what you were thinking, since you gave Li Yang a chance, Iâll give you a chance too.â
âWhat chance?â Wang Yong frowned.
âA chance to choose again.â
Yang Jian said, âI mentioned before, either oppose and die here or join me to handle the Ghost Post Office. Those who didnât believe I could do nothing about, so I had no hesitation in eliminating them. Now, what are your thoughts? To die like this or join us and survive.â
âWhy me?â Wang Yong didnât rush to answer but asked instead.
âYou have concerns and donât do things extremely, so you should be able to follow orders.â
Yang Jian spoke bluntly, âThis means you have the possibility of change. Theyâre different; they canât change. Even if theyâre not dead now, I would still send them on their way.â
Wang Yong became silent. The first thing that came to his mind was his wife and children back home.
Indeed, his heart wasnât as ruthless as before, and he did have concerns.
In fact, when Yang Jian proposed to handle the Ghost Post Office, he already had thoughts. But out of concern, he dared not make a decision because other Messengers were watching him. If he stood on the wrong side, his entire family might mysteriously die.
Now.
Wang Yong no longer needed to pick a side because everyone else was dead.
âIf I join you, will you trust me? Instead of seizing a chance to use me as an expendable piece?â He expressed his concerns.
Yang Jian replied coldly, âTrust isnât given; itâs earned. If youâre willing to work hard and take risks, naturally youâll earn our trust.â
Wang Yong said, âI can join you, work hard for you, but I need money, the same amount you promised before.â
âNo problem.â Yang Jian nodded.
Heâs not afraid of Wang Yong taking the money; heâs afraid he wonât take it. Because someone who doesnât need money tends to be prepared to die at any time, making such a person the most dangerous.
Wang Yong needing money indicates thereâs someone he needs to provide for, a connection, an attachment, which also means he wonât take extreme actions.
âOnce the money is in place, I will fulfill my promise and wonât let you down.â Wang Yong said.
He felt that if he was going to die anyway, if it happened like this, with no value at all, it would be better to die with some value.
âAfter leaving the Post Office, Iâll have my secretary transfer the money to you. But for now, you need to work,â Yang Jian glanced at the corpses scattered around the hall.
Under the dim lights, the torn-up bodies exuded a bizarre aura.
If not dealt with quickly, the fierce ghosts would be revived.
âLi Yang, open the Ghost Gate and put all these bodies into the Ghost Gate. Keep anything useful; some of these Messengers have special supernatural items that shouldnât be wasted,â Yang Jian said.
The blood-stained dagger, the rusted hook, the dirt-covered shovel, as well as the death-purchasing money he obtained from Liu Ziwenâs body earlier.
The Fifth Floor Messengers really had quite the fortune.
However, Li Yang did suffer some losses. His small mallet was shattered, beyond repair, and of no further use. But all in all, it was still a gain.
