Chapter 1061 1027 Leaving the Apartment
The old Ghost Post Office has become history, and all the mail carriers are liberated today. They no longer need to deliver letters or suffer from curses.
In its place stands a brand new five-story apartment building, and outside the entrance of this building, there's still a
Although this is a supernatural site, no supernatural incidents are occurring here.
However, some lingering threats remain.
For example, the female corpse on the fifth floor, the person in room 502, and the malicious ghost buried deep within this place, as well as the third manager, Zhang Xiangguang.....
It's impossible to solve all these lingering problems at once; they can only be left to deal with slowly in the future.
"Now that the post office issue is gone, what do we plan to do next?" Wang Yong asked at this moment.
At this moment, Ye Zhen walked over again, unusually serious, and said, "Yang Jian, since we've met again this time, I think we should take this rare opportunity to have a good talk."
"Talk about what?" Yang Jian asked.
"Naturally about the future." Ye Zhen said.
Yang Jian was somewhat surprised, "You're actually interested in this? I thought you only knew how to stay in Dahai City and read manga every day. But I'd like to hear what your version of the future is."
"If you and I join forces, the world can be at peace. Those few captains at headquarters won't last three rounds before us. By then, we can control the north and south, and manage the major affairs of the world, wouldn't that be delightful?"
Ye Zhen said, "If we do it, we do it to be the strongest."
"..."
Yang Jian thought he was careless, not expecting Ye Zhen to say anything good. This guy's head is full of strange ideas, if not to be the strongest, then to dominate and claim the first place.
"You should find someone else. Maybe others are interested in this plan of yours."
He refused without hesitation.
"No matter, the great waves of the era will push us forward. As someone standing atop the waves, it is destined to be radiant." Ye Zhen continued.
"Alright, alright, I'm really grateful for your help this time. The favor you owed me last time is settled. If there's nothing else, you should return to Dahai City early. I fear your issues at Fushou Garden aren't resolved yet." Yang Jian hoped Ye Zhen would leave quickly.
However, Ye Zhen didn't think this way. Not high on EQ, he still said, "Just a Fushou Garden, it's already become my private garden. When I'm bored, I stroll there, deal with a few unruly malicious ghosts, stretch my muscles. To cause chaos in Dahai City? Impossible."
"But I did hear that there's been some trouble at headquarters recently."
Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly, "Trouble at headquarters? I haven't heard any news on that."
"My intelligence network is not just for show. I know all about headquarters' every move. Recently, some high-level supernatural incidents have been happening frequently. Several captains have been dispatched too often, leading to a shortage of personnel, causing some disturbances. In my view, headquarters' crisis is approaching." Ye Zhen said very arrogantly.
Yang Jian fell silent for a moment. He indeed hadn't paid much attention to the movements at headquarters recently, only knowing that headquarters had previously mandated each captain must handle an A-level supernatural incident in the short term. He was not clear on how things were progressing, and planned to ask Liu Xiaoyu later.
But Liu Xiaoyu's level is too low, just a liaison with limited authority, knowing not much. Likely lesser than Ye Zhen's self-praised intelligence network.
"I won't speculate too much until things happen."
Yang Jian said, "I'm just a nominal captain, responsible for Dachang City, nothing more matters to me."
He didn't ask what crisis headquarters might have; a problem not landing on him isn't a problem.
"Staying in Dachang City? Then wouldn't your top-notch combat power be wasted, Yang Wudi?" Ye Zhen looked at him.
"..."
Yang Jian felt it was always oddly unsettling talking with Ye Zhen.
"That ghost thing is still watching me." Ye Zhen said suddenly, then looked up at the female corpse in the fifth-floor corridor.
The pale, chilling female corpse stood there all along, motionless. If it weren't for the boldness of those present, anyone else being stared at for so long by such a corpse might have long fled from here.
"I really want to slay this ghost thing before leaving."
He couldn't help but touch the sword at his waist, eager to make a move. But since he'd promised Yang Jian not to harm this ghost thing, he managed to suppress the urge.
Sun Rui came limping over, "That female corpse is certainly the second manager of the post office, therefore it can't leave the post office, so it won't pose a danger outside. But the state of this female corpse is very strange, neither like a ghost nor like a living person. When I have time, I will study it slowly and thoroughly understand all the situations here."
Yang Jian said, "Check the situation in room 502, too."
"I will stay here for a long time, understanding all situations, and I'll notify you, Captain Yang, once there's progress." Sun Rui said.
"That's good." Yang Jian nodded.
Leaving the remaining issues for Sun Rui to handle is quite reasonable. He is the manager, with the time and ability to investigate all supernatural threats here, so he doesn't need to linger around.
He has more important matters to attend to, which is to find a way to bring the ghost painting back to the Ghost Post Office, now to be called Hell Apartment.
"Since this female corpse cannot be moved, it seems meaningless for me to stay here. But I'm not yet satisfied, the ghost in the heavy clothing ran off; who knows where it went. If you get any news, inform me immediately, at any time, and tell me the location. I, Ye Zhen, will definitely arrive first to take that ghost thing's head."
Ye Zhen huffed lightly, clearly discontent with Sister Hong's existence.
How can someone walk away halfway through a fight?
He wants both to determine superiority and life and death.
"Driving Sister Hong away was a good thing. Her existence is quite special. If you hadn't driven her away, who knows what special impact she might have caused." Yang Jian said.
Ye Zhen's biggest help this time was dealing with the threat of Sister Hong. Otherwise, tearing the black letter with Sister Hong reappearing would make it hard for him to control the situation.
Ye Zhen's eyes turned, saying, "Since we're free today, how about another spar to see who truly is the number one in Asia?"
In front of Yang Jian, he was still fearless, wanting to challenge again to reclaim what he had lost.
"You want to fight me?" Yang Jian said.
"Naturally, the invincible spirit of Ye Zhen still stands, naturally needing to rise tougher through setbacks, aiming for the top." Ye Zhen said, speaking more bewildering words.
Yang Jian said, "I'm not interested in fighting you, but I can recommend an opponent who is quite formidable, someone I can't even guarantee to defeat."
"Oh? There is such a thing." Ye Zhen's interest piqued immediately, quite concerned, "Tell me who it is, I will head over to challenge them right away."
"The person in charge of Dadong City, Wang Chaling." Yang Jian said expressionlessly, casually selling out Wang Chaling to Ye Zhen.
"That Wang Chaling is quite unusual, with at least four ghosts around him."
Ye Zhen laughed, "Interesting, in that case, I've decided, I will battle Wang Chaling first. Our duel can wait until later as I'm not in peak condition now, and if I don't give it my all, it wouldn't do you justice."
"Another day instead of today."
"Very well, I will go to Dadong City and take a look now."
He is a man of action, intending to proceed immediately, wasting no time, and turned to leave at once.
Yang Jian didn't stop him, inwardly hoping Ye Zhen would leave quickly, just in case he wants to fight later.
Watching Ye Zhen walk away and disappear on the street outside, he finally felt relieved.
"Sun Rui, I'll leave the matters here to you for now. By the way, investigate some information about a Fifth Floor Messenger, see if there are any clues. That messenger is a captain from headquarters, Captain Yinzi, suspected to be missing in a delivery mission..." Yang Jian suddenly remembered this matter.
"I will." Sun Rui nodded.
"Information would be best, but no information is also fine. The messenger's curse no longer exists, if they're still alive, they must have left the post office as well."
Yang Jian said, "I can't stay here indefinitely; I must leave and return to Dachang City. There are matters waiting for me to address."
"Okay, I'll also start investigating here immediately." Sun Rui said.
Though he has become the manager, being new, much about here remains unclear to him. The extent of a manager's permissions is also unknown, requiring some time to explore.
After a brief exchange.
Checking the time, it was already the afternoon.
"We'll leave now," Yang Jian said.
Li Yang and Wang Yong nodded,
Soon after.
The three walked out of the door, entering a deserted, cordoned-off street in Dahan City.
"Captain, shouldn't we ask more about the post office's past? It seems there are many unsolved mysteries." Li Yang suddenly questioned.
Yang Jian said, "It's not important, now that both the post office and the messengers are gone, let everything be buried. The major hidden threat posed by this supernatural site has been largely eliminated, and the remaining messengers survived, thanks to us. So, there's no need to pursue unnecessary things."
