With the appearance of the black letters, Sun Rui became the new manager, and the curse of the post office was declared over.
However, the terror and supernatural still remained, ever-present.
Yang Jian, Li Yang, and Wang Yong left Dahan City and returned to Dachang City.
With the curse of the post office gone, many supernatural rules changed. They couldnât return the way they came, and the black letter paper lost its effect, turning to dust once they left the post office, so they had to make the journey back.
At the same time.
In the Ghost Post Office, no, now known as Hell Apartment.
The bright, empty hall was left with only Sun Rui.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be here alone for a long, long timeâdozens, even tens of yearsâuntil the balance failed or he was close to dying of old age, making arrangements.
The shovel in Sun Ruiâs hand had been returned to Yang Jian before, so he had nothing to lean on now, making his walk a bit awkward. But as the manager, he could appear anywhere in this place.
The next moment.
Sun Rui appeared on the fifth floor.
In front of him was the eerie female corpse covered with black letter papers.
âSecond manager Tian Xiaoyue? You shouldnât be dead, as managers wonât die inside the post office, only outside, like the first manager who fell from the fifth floor and died. So you must still be alive⊠I just donât know if your consciousness is lucid. If youâre still like this, Iâm sorry, Iâll have to deal with you.â
âBecause there canât be a second manager here. My change here is to show that the post office era is over. How this place is used in the future is for us to decide. You are obsolete.â
Sun Rui was cold; he didnât want the old eraâs manager to influence the present because he feared that one day he wouldnât be able to suppress this thing, losing the position of the manager and causing the post office to resurrect again.
Whether she heard Sun Ruiâs words,
In front of him, the ghastly white, cold yet intact female corpse slowly turned around, her eyes numb, hollow, and devoid of brilliance. She seemed to have some remnants, as if her consciousness had been peeled away or her memory severely damaged, becoming such a walking corpse.
Unable to die from the ghostâs revival, yet unable to be as conscious as the living.
At this moment, the female corpse moved her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but when she opened it, a black paper ball was stuffed inside.
It seemed this paper ball had been in her mouth for a long time, unnoticed by anyone.
âHuh?â
Sun Rui immediately walked over, not fearing, as he was now the manager, not worried about being killed inside the post office, so he boldly reached out and quickly extracted the paper ball.
The paper ball was wet, with a stench, but it wasnât damaged.
Because it was a letter sheet imbued with supernatural power, it wouldnât be damaged no matter how much time passed.
After opening, words were written on the black letter paper.
The words were also black, though not very clear, but Sun Rui could still identify them. The writing was elegant and consistent with the style of the words âTian Xiaoyueâ previously written in the notebook.
âIs this the message left back then?â Sun Rui spread out the letter paper and adjusted the angle to decipher the information on it.
âBeware of Zhang Xiangguang, andâŠ.. find a way to kill him.â
The content that could be written on the letter paper wasnât much; Sun Rui only saw such a sentence.
âZhang Xiangguang again?â Sun Rui stared at the words and frowned, looking at the female corpse before him.
The female corpse remained in a strange state, trying to open her mouth but still unable to speak, her eyes also lacking brilliance.
âIt seems this female corpse left a bit of information and warning before her death, but unfortunately, it is of little use. Zhang Xiangguang isnât in the post office at all. It seems there were significant conflicts and clashes between the second and third managers; one was dismembered, and the other vanished. But the problem is, how did Zhang Xiangguang, as the manager, leave the ghost post office?â
Sun Rui was puzzled.
But now he solved one mystery.
The black letter paper that appeared in the Ghost Post Office at night came from this female corpse, the second manager Tian Xiaoyue; this was her trace left in the post office.
âBut her situation reminds me, managers arenât unbeatable. If powerful enough, they can be dismembered and buried, so the first manager, the old man surnamed Luo, was killed, and the entire source of the matter centers on Zhang Xiangguang.â
âPreviously, when talking with Yang Jian, Zhang Xiangguangâs oil painting was left in the post office. The figure in the oil painting hasnât disappeared, indicating that someone outside still remembers Zhang Xiangguang. If we can follow this clue, maybe many problems can be solved.â
Sun Rui began to slowly unearth some past stories and secrets.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, understanding everything was a good thing.
Soon after, Sun Rui decided to go check rooms 501 and 502, probing them thoroughly in his capacity as a manager.
Alone, he limped towards room 501.
But as he moved, the female corpse beside him also followed.
âHuh?â
Sun Ruiâs expression changed slightly; he temporarily left the fifth floor and went to the second floor. When he appeared there, the female corpse also followed him to the second floor.
The distance between them was neither too far nor too close, subtly spaced.
âDid it latch onto me? And it seems it also has management permissions, otherwise, how could it know when I transferred to the second floor?â Sun Rui was somewhat surprised.
He seemed to discover some important information.
That is, each manager has the same permissions, no distinction.
Even the second manager Tian Xiaoyue, already just a corpse, her permissions still worked for her. Fortunately, she wasnât a revived ghost; otherwise, she would have turned into the most terrifying ghost here.
To solve this problem, the only way is⊠if the manager dies outside.
Sun Rui tried to shake off the female corpseâs entanglement, but to no avail.
Where he was, she was, except she couldnât leave, and Sun Rui wasnât sure he could kill this female corpse.
In the end, he had no choice but to ignore her; after all, they couldnât do anything to each other.
Meanwhile.
Yang Jian had already arrived in Dachang City and returned to his workplace at Shangtong Tower.
Trailing after, Wang Yong was surprised because he didnât expect Yang Jian to indeed hold such a high status, erasing the little doubt lingering in his heart.
âHow about it, joining us, you donât lose out.â Li Yang smiled, âWe ghost handlers who deal with supernatural events arenât typically in the spotlight, but captain-level figures are different. They can oversee a city or an area openly.â
âOf course, the supervision is limited, only confined to where supernatural events occur.â
Yang Jian said at this moment: âLi Yang, contact headquarters, report this matter, and let him join our team to fill the vacancy left by the deceased Zhang Han.â
âIâll do it now.â Li Yang nodded.
A team memberâs death is inevitable; Zhang Han died, and allowing a newcomer to fill in wasnât improper.
After giving his orders, Yang Jian headed to Liu Xiaoyuâs office.
Liu Xiaoyu saw Yang Jianâs sudden return and wasnât surprised, only saying, âYouâre back. How was the business trip? Everything went smoothly?â
âIt was okay. The Ghost Post Office matter has ended. You can report it; I wonât provide the archive info. Have the operator ask the Dahan City manager Sun Rui; itâs uncertain if he can be contacted these days.â Yang Jian said.
âAs long as it ended.â Liu Xiaoyu was somewhat happy.
Because the Ghost Post Office was defined as level A at the headquarters.
Now that itâs over, it means Yang Jianâs task was completed ahead of schedule.
âAnd what about the supernatural bus?â Liu Xiaoyu asked next.
Yang Jian said, âThat situation hasnât been resolved; declare the operation a failure. The Ghost Post Office timing covers us, so headquarters will have nothing to say. By the way, check if something recently happened at headquarters thatâs a bit off.â
âDid you receive some inside information from somewhere?â Liu Xiaoyu asked curiously.
âA captainâs permissions allow knowing anything.â Yang Jian stated.
Liu Xiaoyu said, âAlright, Iâll use your permissions to check.â
âWork hard, Iâm leaving.â Yang Jian said.
âDinner tonight?â Liu Xiaoyu suddenly blurted out.
Yang Jian stopped in his tracks and looked back, âA gathering?â
âNo, just the two of us.â
Liu Xiaoyu said, suddenly becoming a little shy, âDonât get me wrong. I just thought that since Iâve come to work here, I should treat you to a meal. Youâve been busy before, so I didnât mention it. Now that you just returned, you probably wonât have tasks in the short term.â
âAlright, contact me tonight.â Yang Jian didnât refuse and agreed.
After saying that, he left.
And Liu Xiaoyu, with her face slightly flushed, became a little excited.
