Chapter 1573 - 1536: Seeking a New Path

“Although I’ve awakened Wei Jing and Feng Quan, just the two of them alone can’t change anything. At best, they can slightly improve certain situations, so I need to leave here and continue to seek out new solutions.”

Yang Jian was also preparing to leave the Ghost Post Office at this moment.

“Sun Rui, now that you’ve started cultivating a batch of ghost tamers affiliated with the Ghost Post Office, keep at it unwaveringly and do your utmost to accomplish this task. After all, no one can predict what the future will hold.”

Sun Rui nodded and said, “More methods mean more paths. I understand this principle, and I believe Team Yang can find a better path.”

“I hope so.”

Yang Jian said no more and left the room, returning to the first-floor lobby.

The lobby was still filled with people, some discussing previous matters, while others were considering knocking on the walls to see if there were any hidden doors behind them.

These ordinary people simply couldn’t understand the existence of the Ghost Post Office.

Here, space can be overturned, and many common sense ideas are useless.

“Look, it’s that newcomer named Team Yang. He’s a genuine ghost tamer, so don’t provoke him.”

“A ghost tamer, truly enviable. Didn’t expect one of us to become a ghost tamer.”

“Wait, it seems he’s about to leave.”

All eyes were on Yang Jian as he walked straight towards the exit of the Ghost Post Office, leaving the crowd stunned.

It’s known that this place can’t be freely accessed; only during survival tasks can you enter and exit. Usually, you can’t even open the door, and even if you could, there’d be no path to the real world outside, unless the survival task is finished, and the Ghost Post Office creates a special route to bring you back to avoid dying in a dangerous spiritual realm.

“Seems like he’s able to freely enter and leave here. Zhang Jinhong, your luck is good; though you offended Team Yang earlier, he didn’t retaliate. Indeed, being a ghost tamer, he wouldn’t bother with us ordinary people and ignore you.”

The man named Zhang Jinhong Face changed unpredictably: “Ghost tamers vary in strength. A powerful ghost tamer can confront a vengeful ghost head-on, and some even can imprison a vengeful ghost easily. But a weak ghost tamer could be killed by an ordinary paranormal event.”

“This guy named Team Yang seems young, and doesn’t show signs of being corrupted by the supernatural. I bet he just became a ghost tamer recently, so his skills can’t be very strong. Maybe once I become a ghost tamer, I could easily surpass him.”

“Makes sense,” someone nearby agreed.

Ignoring the influence of the Ghost Post Office, Yang Jian opened the door and walked out.

At this moment, a winding and twisting path suddenly appeared outside the Ghost Post Office, extending far away, seeming to cross the boundary between reality and the supernatural.

“Hmm?”

Yang Jian, who was preparing to return to Dahan City, suddenly stopped, sensing something.

He saw a panicked man running along the winding path toward the Ghost Post Office, seemingly injured, bleeding while running, and staggering with exhaustion, almost falling several times.

“Look, it’s Liu Shengyi. He’s back, unbelievably still alive. This must be his fifth survival task, and it’s solo. Everyone thought he’d definitely die, because without teammates, triggering the vengeful ghost’s kill pattern would be fatal, with no room for error.”

“The path outside is the spiritual path used to bring Liu Shengyi back after his survival task. But this spiritual path is very safe; why is he running so fast? A small mistake could send him off the path; God knows what might happen.”

“No, that’s not right; Liu Shengyi’s desperate run suggests something is chasing him.”

Many people in the lobby recognized the man on the path.

This man’s name was Liu Shengyi, also pulled into the Ghost Post Office by Sun Rui like the others, honed through multiple survival tasks to become a qualified ghost tamer.

“It’s a ghost! My God, there’s a ghost following Liu Shengyi!” Someone suddenly screamed.

As Liu Shengyi got closer to the Ghost Post Office, people saw there was indeed an eerie presence behind him.

Though the figure was unclear, the mere glance revealed that it couldn’t possibly be a living person.

“Are you kidding? A ghost following Liu Shengyi onto a spiritual path? Can such a thing happen?” Someone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.

“Not good, Liu Shengyi wants to escape to the apartment, relying on its special features to block the vengeful ghost’s pursuit. But if he does this, will he bring the ghost inside?”

As soon as these words were spoken, many people’s faces turned pale instantly.

If a ghost truly entered here, everyone would die because they simply couldn’t oppose a vengeful ghost.

At this moment, Liu Shengyi was panting heavily, drenched in cold sweat, having reached his physical limit. Each step was a struggle, but the strong survival instinct and fear of death forced him to squeeze every ounce of his body’s potential, ignoring his injuries.

“I’m almost there. I must make it back to the apartment alive. Only then can I avoid being killed by this ghost.”

His eyes grew brighter, the neon-lit apartment his beacon of hope for survival.

But the ghost behind still pursued relentlessly.

Obviously, Liu Shengyi had already triggered the ghost’s killing pattern, but because of the unique nature of this supernatural path, the ghost was always a step behind, unable to easily catch up to Liu Shengyi.

However, this situation only existed on this supernatural path.

Once Liu Shengyi reached the Ghost Post Office doors, he would immediately lose the protection of the supernatural path. If he couldn’t enter the Ghost Post Office in time, he would certainly be killed by the ghost.

Yet the chilling figure kept chasing relentlessly.

No matter how Liu Shengyi ran forward, he couldn’t manage to put enough distance between himself and the ghost.

“He won’t survive.” Yang Jian observed for a moment and immediately came to this conclusion.

Because, under Liu Shengyi’s current state, there was no way he could open the door and enter the Ghost Post Office within three seconds, and after three seconds, the ghost would finish walking the supernatural path to the Ghost Post Office doors and then kill him directly.

Unless Sun Rui intervened a little.

“Quick, close the door, don’t let Liu Shengyi in.” At this moment, someone shouted in the first floor lobby: “Don’t look at me, I don’t want to do this either, but if he brings the ghost inside, we’ll all die, so I’m doing this for everyone’s sake.”

Hearing this, many people were eager to close the door.

But when they saw Yang Jian standing at the door, everyone hesitated.

Leaving Liu Shengyi outside meant losing one experienced survivor, which wasn’t a big impact, but offending that ghost handler would be unbearable once they settled the score later on.

Unless right now that ghost handler named Yang retreated, temporarily avoiding this danger, no one would go to close the door.

However, at this moment, Yang Jian acted.

He did not return to the Ghost Post Office as others predicted, but instead walked straight towards Liu Shengyi.

Liu Shengyi saw Yang Jian walking towards him, but he had no time to deal with this strange person, so he forced his body to keep running with gritted teeth, not daring to slow down because slowing down meant being caught by the ghost.

The two passed by each other.

“Everyone has the right to survive. You’re lucky you met me today, so I’ll lend you a hand,” Yang Jian said.

Liu Shengyi didn’t even have the thought to reply. Stumbling, he reached the doors, extended his bloodstained hand, opened the door, ready to step into the Ghost Post Office.

However, at that moment, the fierce ghost attacked.

But as the fierce ghost prepared to attack Liu Shengyi, Yang Jian intercepted it.

Yang Jian reached out and grabbed.

The ghost that terrified everyone was now being held tightly in his hand, and subsequently fell silent, no longer moving.

Yang Jian carried this ghost, walking away without looking back, eventually disappearing from everyone’s sight, completely leaving the Ghost Post Office.

This scene was witnessed by the other people in the Ghost Post Office, and everyone was wide-eyed and appalled.

“How is this possible? Just grabbing a ghost casually? Is he still human?”

“I felt like I saw God.”

“Wasn’t that thing that was chasing Liu Shengyi a fierce ghost? Could it be an actor?”

Yang Jian’s action overturned their understanding.

Because they knew very well how terrifying it was for a ghost to follow Liu Shengyi, hunting him down the supernatural path, even reaching this place.

But such a terrifying ghost was carried out like a little chick by that ghost handler named Yang.

“That’s impossible for a ghost handler to accomplish.” Liu Jinhong trembled all over.

The person in the oil painting had said that fighting the supernatural required using supernatural powers.

But just now, Yang didn’t seem to use any supernatural powers while grabbing the ghost like he was swatting a mosquito.

“No, he didn’t use supernatural powers because his supernatural powers are so terrifyingly strong, much stronger than the ghost by an unknown magnitude, so when he slightly took action, the ghost couldn’t resist. But does such a person really exist? Shouldn’t they have already died from ghost resurrection?”

The more Liu Jinhong thought about it, the more terrified he felt.

The scene just now left too much of a shadow on him.
