Chapter 1299 - 1266: Stranded

The gathering of everyone in the Ghost Post Office made the originally empty hall feel quite crowded.

The souls trapped in the oil paintings have been arranged by Sun Rui to return to the world within the paintings. They are all important Ghost Envoys and have the chance for resurrection in the future. Losing so many is heart-wrenching for him as the manager, especially since the Ghost Post Office has become Hell Apartment and is no longer delivering letters. There won’t be souls like these anymore.

“Thirty-six souls, nineteen dead, only seventeen remaining, it’s a significant loss.”

Sun Rui thought to himself, “I’ve heard there’s a kind of supernatural dye hidden in the world of the paintings, capable of painting things that don’t exist. The old paintings were created using these supernatural dyes. I wonder if I could find those dyes and paint the dead envoys again.”

He also had other ideas for resurrecting the souls that perished this time.

“Looks like the matter has come to an end, but the outcome is unexpectedly like this. He Yuelian has become the ultimate winner.”

In a corner of the hall, at that moment, a paper figure’s silhouette emerged as Leuk San slowly walked over.

He had been resting in Shuangqiao Town before. Earlier, He Yuelian used the Ghost Domain to bring everyone back to the post office, including him.

“Where is Li Leping? Why don’t I see him?” Yang Jian asked.

“I’m here.” Li Leping emerged from another spot. He seemed very ordinary and had been standing there for a while, but without drawing any attention.

“Looks like you’re okay now?” Yang Jian examined him.

Li Leping said, “The time one loses control isn’t fixed; sometimes it’s very short, sometimes it lasts longer. At that moment, I simply couldn’t continue participating in the fight.”

“Wei Jing is still buried inside; it was a soul summoned by He Yiner that acted. That soul is terrifying; it not only buried Wei Jing but also imprisoned the Ghost Envoy. We don’t know the outcome yet, and we’ve already lost Li Jun, we can’t afford to lose another captain. If we can save him, we must.” Lu Zhiwen spoke with a stiff expression.

Yang Jian stared at the large old grave in the hall: “To imprison the Ghost Envoy, there need to be at least two conditions met: a sufficiently powerful Ghost Domain and supernatural power capable of suppressing the Ghost Envoy. An old grave can suppress the Ghost Envoy, which hints at how terrifying the soul summoned by He Yiner must be.”

“If he buried Wei Jing and the Ghost Envoy together, there must be a reason, probably not to harm him but to have Wei Jing drive the Ghost Envoy.”

He said as he walked toward the old grave.

Yang Jian had seen many such old graves.

He remembered the boundless graveyard at Fushou Garden where the Grave Soil encased fierce ghosts, forever trapping them in old graves.

And the larger the old grave, the more it suppresses the fierce ghosts.

The old grave before him was the largest Yang Jian had ever seen, four or five times bigger than an ordinary grave, resembling a mound.

“Similar to Feng Quan’s Grave Soil.” Yang Jian thought about Feng Quan’s supernatural power.

He wondered if the supernatural power Feng Quan wielded had any connection to the soul summoned by He Yiner.

“Wei Jing can’t move right now, if the Grave Soil is uncovered, the Ghost Envoy will break free, and then no one will be able to stay here.” After pondering for a while, Yang Jian reached a conclusion.

“But doing nothing isn’t a solution either.” Sun Rui came over and said, “Wei Jing is still in there, who knows what problems might arise over time.”

Yang Jian looked at He Yiner: “Didn’t that soul leave any message before vanishing?”

“No, after taking Wei Jing away, it hasn’t appeared again.” He Yiner shook his head.

“No information left behind, and we can’t excavate the Ghost Envoy. This is indeed tricky, unless we can determine Wei Jing’s current situation. Otherwise, this old grave shouldn’t be tampered with lightly. According to my evaluation, everything should remain as is, and I’ll have Feng Quan check it out since he has expertise in this supernatural area.” Yang Jian frowned.

Sun Rui said, “Ignoring Wei Jing for a long time, won’t he be in trouble?”

“If something was supposed to happen, it would have already occurred. If not, then even if he’s buried in the Grave Soil it won’t be an issue. He’s an anomaly, no longer needing to depend on a body for survival. Don’t worry; I’ll keep an eye on Wei Jing’s situation. As for Li Jun’s matter, Lu Zhiwen, you need to go to headquarters to find Ah Hong and figure out a way to resurrect Li Jun.” Yang Jian said.

Lu Zhiwen responded, “No problem, I’ll start searching for a resurrection plan for Li Jun after returning. Finding a new supernatural balance shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“Alright, we’ll handle Li Jun and Wei Jing’s matters like this for now.” Having said that, Yang Jian turned his gaze to He Yuelian.

He Yuelian dressed in a red wedding gown, covered by a red veil, remained there motionless.

Even knowing she was alive, her attire was nevertheless unnerving.

“He Yuelian, the most important issue now is yours. Zhang Xiangguang is dead, you’re free, and have harnessed unimaginably supernatural power. What are your plans next?” Yang Jian inquired.

The others also looked at He Yuelian.

Previously inconspicuous, He Yuelian now compelled everyone to take her seriously.

He Yuelian paused for a moment and said, “I don’t have any good ideas for now. I previously considered going to Da’ao City, but I’ve already entered the supernatural circle. Going back holds no significance anymore. If possible, I’d like to hear your arrangements.”

Her attitude was very friendly, indicating her willingness to follow Yang Jian’s arrangements.

Yang Jian said, “You have three choices. The first choice is to return to the headquarters with us and then join the headquarters. The second choice is to stay here, familiarize yourself with your supernatural powers, and confirm your own status. You can ask Sun Rui if there’s anything you don’t understand. As for the third choice… you can leave this place, neither joining the headquarters nor staying in the Ghost Post Office. You are free to go anywhere in the world.”

Three choices?

He Yuelian’s red veil covered her face, obscuring her appearance, but she seemed to be thinking and weighing her options.

“I feel that my current state is not suitable for appearing outside. It’s better for me to stay here for a while. Once I adapt to my new identity, I will join the headquarters,” she said.

After a while, He Yuelian gave her answer.

She felt that the last option was a trap. If she chose to leave the Ghost Post Office, she feared that the next moment, all the captains would join forces to kill her here.

How could headquarters let such dangerous supernatural powers go unchecked?

What kind of person is the most free?

The dead.

He Yuelian felt that since she had entered the supernatural circle, she must abide by some rules of the supernatural circle; it’s the basic principle for survival.

“Very well, that’s decided then. You stay in the Ghost Post Office, and Sun Rui will teach you to become a qualified ghost tamer. Just so happened, there are still some fierce ghosts left here; you can practice with them,” Yang Jian said.

“Rest assured, Team Yang, I will teach her well,” Sun Rui stated.

Yang Jian said, “Notify me of any developments promptly, and I’ll occasionally come by to check things myself.”

Sun Rui nodded.

“Since the matters here are arranged, can we leave now?” He Yiner said.

“No, we still need to go to Shuangqiao Town for some cleanup and see if there’s any supernatural residue. Additionally, Zhang Xiangguang’s group has two members unaccounted for: one is Wang Han, the other is Chen Qiaoyang. The former is trapped in a dream by me, but his body is hidden somewhere, which poses a threat. The latter seems to have disappeared.”

Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly: “When He Yuelian brought everyone back here earlier, I didn’t see Chen Qiaoyang. Either He Yuelian left him behind, or he somehow escaped the Ghost Domain of the ghost painting.”

“The probability of escaping the Ghost Domain of the ghost painting is not very high. If Chen Qiaoyang had that ability, he would have fled long ago and wouldn’t have nearly been burned alive by me. So most likely, he was left behind.”

“I did not pay attention to the person named Chen Qiaoyang. When I was reclaiming the Ghost Domain, I was rather rough, and many people I deemed to be ordinary I did not take,” He Yuelian said.

Having just acquired supernatural powers, her control over the Ghost Domain wasn’t as refined as Yang Jian’s and mistakes were normal.

“Lu Zhiwen, come with me, let’s find Wang Han and Chen Qiaoyang, especially Chen Qiaoyang. He poses a threat; his supernatural power is quite special and might stir up trouble,” Yang Jian said.

“Alright,” Lu Zhiwen immediately agreed with a nod.

“As for the others, you may first return to headquarters to report this situation. If there’s no further trouble, you all can return to the cities you’re responsible for, and this matter will be considered concluded.”

“Let’s go.”

With that, Yang Jian took Lu Zhiwen and briefly left the Ghost Post Office.

“Since things have been resolved, why don’t all of you rest here for a while? Once everything is completely settled, you can leave. There are plenty of rooms here, you can stay anywhere,” Sun Rui warmly invited, suggesting they stay.

“Alright, I’ll stay here for two days before leaving,” Leuk San nodded, not declining.

He didn’t genuinely want to stay here, but he needed to handle his situation properly without delay.

“I’ll stay here for one day, and head back to headquarters early tomorrow,” He Yiner said, then walked toward a room.

Li Leping said nothing, and quietly went into a room to rest as well.

As everyone momentarily left, the once bustling hall cooled down again.

Sun Rui looked at He Yuelian: “Seems you’ll be staying here a while, but the room rates need to increase. Once you’re accustomed to the new supernatural power, you’ll need to help deal with some supernatural events. After you join headquarters, these will become your merits. Also, don’t truly think you’re that powerful yet.”

“Supernatural powers come at a cost. The more terrifying the power, the more likely it is to bring about your demise, so your path of survival is just beginning.”

“I see. I understand,” He Yuelian said seriously after a moment of silence.
