Chapter 1049 - 1015: Foreign Aid
“They appeared again, Yang Jian and Zhou Ze’s figures have reappeared in the painting.”
Quickly.
Li Yang, Wang Yong, Zhong Yan, and Brother Long, who were guarding the lobby on the first floor of the post office, immediately saw several familiar figures appear within the blank oil painting in front of them.
“It’s Sun Rui.”
Li Yang immediately came closer and saw another person in the painting, who turned out to be the disappeared Sun Rui.
It seems the outcome is just as previously suspected, Sun Rui went missing after entering the painting.
But…..
Li Yang thought Sun Rui’s condition was very bad, like a moving corpse, even with eyes closed, not resembling a living person at all.
At this moment, Yang Jian walked out from within the painting, emerging from that eerie place and returning to the actual post office.
Zhou Ze and Sun Rui also soon walked out.
“How are things here? Nothing happened, right?”
Yang Jian glanced around and then asked, especially focusing his gaze on the few couriers from the fifth floor.
He was previously worried that these fifth-floor couriers might try something when he left.
Now it seems they’ve been quite well-behaved.
“Everything’s normal, nothing happened, the post office is pretty safe during the day,” Li Yang said.
Yang Jian nodded: “The post office issue can be resolved for now, I found a manager, and I plan to have Sun Rui tear up the black letter to complete the delivery task and head to the sixth floor of the post office. Then he will change the post office’s delivery rules, so all couriers no longer have to participate in delivery tasks.”
As soon as these words came out, the others immediately showed surprised expressions, looking toward the stranger who had appeared.
A body that was critically ill, deathly still, without a trace of living aura.
“So this is your decision, boss?” Wang Yong asked.
Yang Jian said: “That’s right, do you have any objections?”
“No, I have no objections. It doesn’t matter who becomes the controller of the Ghost Post Office as long as this matter can be ended, but I want to know that after tearing the black letter, one must bear quite the cost, which may claim many lives,” Wang Yong said.
“Indeed, tearing a letter always triggers an inexplicable ghost attack, and the curse’s severity varies with different letters. It’s hard to imagine the danger faced by tearing a black letter,” Zhou Ze also said thoughtfully.
Yang Jian said: “Sun Rui once tore a letter; the curse was limited, but considering the black letter’s peculiar nature, this time we all have to join forces to combat the danger. Once we get through it, everything will be over.”
“Joining forces to survive the supernaturals doesn’t have a low probability.”
Li Yang said: “And it’s normal to bear some risks to break free from the curse completely; you guys aren’t naively thinking you can gain something without any sacrifice, right?”
“Well, we’ve never thought that. I agree with this plan, to join forces to fend off the ghost attack after tearing the letter. As long as we get past it, everything will be fine.”
The woman named Zhong Yan directly expressed her support.
“I have no objections either; it’s worth taking the final chance,” Wang Yong also said.
“You’re the boss, you can decide. I promise not to have any objections,” Brother Long thought for a moment and saw no problem.
Zhou Ze also nodded in agreement.
Yang Jian said, “Since everyone agrees, then this plan is decided.”
“Since it’s about tearing letters, anywhere would do, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable if it were at the post office. I suggest choosing a more suitable place to face this ghost attack,” Wang Yong said.
Li Yang suddenly said, “Captain, how about the safe house? It might prevent ghost invasions and reduce many troubles.”
“This isn’t suitable for an urban area, and although the safe house can protect us, it might cause other troubles. I don’t wish to deal with a ghost event with added worries,”
Yang Jian said: “In my view, it’s best to resolve post office issues at the post office.”
“Even if it gets out of control here, the problem isn’t too big. The only concern is that tearing a black letter at the post office might trigger some uncontrollable special circumstances, which is what concerns me,” Yang Jian said.
Tearing a letter at the post office is surely the most dangerous but also the most reliable.
Because if the supernatural occurs here, it won’t affect the outside, but tearing a letter outside won’t find a suitable location.
“If this matter isn’t urgent, we can consider it for a few more days, think up a perfect plan and get thoroughly prepared, thus improving the success rate,” Wang Yong said.
Li Yang suddenly thought of something, he came over and whispered: “Captain, black letter matters are very special, if possible, finding some stronger outside help to share the risk would be better, although our strength is not weak, being prepared is wise since this time we must succeed and cannot fail.”
“Are you suggesting finding Captain Level people to help?” Yang Jian pondered.
There are quite a few Captain Level figures, Wang Chaling, Wei Jing, Li Jun, Li Leping, Cao Yang, Leuk San…..and that Ye Zhen from Dahai City.
Getting one or two of them would indeed give more assurance against the curse brought by the black letter.
Li Yang said: “Having just the captain alone might lead to errors; with one or two more Captain Level figures, success can be ensured.”
Yang Jian pondered.
Li Yang’s notion is indeed right, after all, no one knows what consequences tearing the black letter may entail; if a fierce ghost emerges too strong, unable to protect Sun Rui, the entire plan would be in vain.
“Captain Level figures aren’t easily invited.”
Yang Jian said: “If trying to invite Wei Jing and Li Jun, I’d need headquarters’ approval, but getting that approval would mean reporting the post office matter, which involves evaluations, analyses, and a set of procedures that are very troublesome, even if I find Cao Yanhua to shorten the time, whether the Ghost Post Office allows Sun Rui to be controlled is also an issue.”
“Moreover, I want the Ghost Post Office’s direction to be under my control, not others’, so those two aren’t suitable, as for Wang Chaling and Li Leping, I don’t have a good relationship with them, and they have their agendas, not simple characters.”
“So the headquarters’ captains are not an option?”
Li Yang said: “Then there’s only one choice left, the Dahai City supernatural forum’s Ye Zhen.”
Ye Zhen?
Yang Jian’s expression slightly changed.
He had fought with Ye Zhen, although this guy is quite theatrical, his strength is undeniable. Winning last time was thanks to the Coffin Nail; without it, he wouldn’t have been confident of winning against that guy.
“Having Ye Zhen help is indeed suitable; he’s not with headquarters, and last time I spared him; he owes me a favor,” Yang Jian frowned, still contemplating whether to bring Ye Zhen over.
After all, Ye Zhen is also an uncertain factor.
However, he didn’t have much time to prepare.
Sun Rui’s condition is currently maintained by the Ghost Shadow, yet even so, he will soon die from the ghost’s resurgence, underlining the need to make him a manager to break free from the ghost’s resurgence fate.
“Requesting external aid?”
Hearing Yang Jian and Li Yang’s discussion, Wang Yong, Zhou Ze, and others couldn’t help but tense up.
A figure like Yang Jian is already frightening, and the external aid he seeks would undoubtedly also be on the same level. From their conversation, it seems there are quite a number of such ghost tamers at that level.
Realizing this made them secretly relieved, glad they maintained a low profile and chose Yang Jian’s side, otherwise, they would surely not escape if a reckoning came.
Moreover, the more they realized, the more it indicated the consequences once the black letter was torn would be exceedingly severe.
“You leave the post office for a moment to contact Ye Zhen and have him come to Dahan City and enter the Ghost Post Office.”
Yang Jian pondered for a long while before making up his mind: “With his abilities, invading the Ghost Post Office isn’t difficult, yet once Ye Zhen moves, the entire supernatural circle and headquarters will be aware of the special situation here, so actions must be swift. Have him arrive as quickly as possible; I will tear the letter here and make a conclusion with the post office.”
“I understand, Captain, I’ll handle it right away.” Li Yang nodded.
The post office has signal interference, making normal outside contact impossible, thus requiring one to leave the Ghost Post Office to make a call.
“Go, tell Ye Zhen I am waiting for him here,” Yang Jian said.
Li Yang soon set off; he left the Ghost Post Office and disappeared along the winding and eerie path from sight.
