Chapter 61 Conditions for Leaving
"Not bad, young man. You are the only ghost hunter in the last few decades to have found the real post office. You are slightly better than that kid from the Zhang family."
Su Qin, hiding in the supernatural medium of his No. 1 clone, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that he was being watched, even though there were two layers of supernatural medium separating them.
This younger-looking Luo Wensong seemed even more terrifying than the Luo Wensong seen through the window earlier. These words were clearly directed at him, and this Luo Wensong had directly seen through Su Qin's supernatural medium.
"Forget it, there's no way to avoid it. Since he hasn't made a move, he probably doesn't mean any harm."
Su Qin, as the original being, had been observing the outside world and understood the current situation. It was unrealistic to expect to escape this supernatural place on his own; the only way out was through this ghost post office.
The monocle on the eye socket of clone number 1 gleamed faintly with an eerie light. When the light dissipated, the supernatural medium was empty, and the entrance to the ghost post office was also empty. Su Qin had already led all the clones to invade the ghost slave clone at the entrance of the underground post office.
The ghost slave's clone began to become illusory, then swayed slightly before becoming real again. However, this time, the real figure no longer appeared stiff or numb; it was filled with the aura of a living person, as if it were just an ordinary person without supernatural abilities.
He was no longer a ghost slave clone, but the real Su Qin. Su Qin used a supernatural medium to invade, and at the same time, he also took all the clones into the supernatural medium.
"Grandpa! You really scared me! Hopefully, another one won't appear later!"
Su Qin was extremely humble, even more so than when he met his own grandfather. He immediately called him "Grandpa" without any hesitation, after all, even Xiao Yang would have to obediently call this ruthless man "Grandpa".
A rare, inexplicable emotion flashed in Luo Wensong's eyes, very subtle, as if the title "grandfather" had stirred up memories that had been buried in his mind for many years, but it only lasted for a moment before his indifferent gaze returned.
"You young man, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but there's no need for you to try and get close to me. Weren't you just being ruthless and vicious?"
Luo Wensong was obviously aware of what had just happened at the Ghost Post Office. It was not a good thing that such a treacherous young man was suddenly calling someone "Grandpa" so politely.
Su Qin's little scheme was exposed, and he could only awkwardly force a smile, showing his harmless side. Although he guessed that Luo Wensong probably didn't have any malicious intent, he still dared not let his guard down, because he could really lose his life if he wasn't careful.
"Grandpa, you're joking. That was just a misunderstanding. You wouldn't hold a grudge against a young man as ignorant as me, would you?"
The old man's sudden appearance... could it be that he has something to say?
Su Qin had no idea what Luo Wensong was up to, so he could only cautiously probe. As long as he wasn't going to be killed, he was willing to do anything, even if it meant being made a messenger. He could only grit his teeth and accept his fate.
"It's not me who's in trouble!"
It's you!
Luo Wensong doesn't follow Su Qin's logic at all.
"The supernatural things about you are indeed interesting, but that's about it. With your limited abilities, it's impossible for you to leave this supernatural place."
Aside from Xiao Qin's bus, no other supernatural event has ever left this haunted place in the past few decades.
Luo Wensong's indifferent words revealed his confidence.
Su Qin also keenly grasped the information revealed in Luo Wensong's words.
No supernatural being can leave this haunted place! Does that mean that Luo Wensong and this ghost post office are blocking the exit of this haunted place? To leave this haunted place, unless there is a special supernatural phenomenon involving the bus, it is impossible to bypass this ghost post office!
This old man probably wasn't just trying to scare me with those words! What is he trying to do? Or does he want me to do something for him?
Su Qin didn't believe that Luo Wensong would talk to him like this out of boredom; he must have a purpose, and most likely wanted Su Qin to do something.
"Grandpa, how do I leave this haunted place?"
Old Qin said that item must be taken back and properly stored as soon as possible, otherwise it could easily lead to serious trouble. Since the old man and Old Qin are old acquaintances, why not do him a favor and point him in the right direction?
These exorcists from the Republic of China era were not easy to deal with, so Su Qin could only bring up Elder Qin, hoping that Luo Wensong would give Elder Qin some face.
Luo Wensong's gaze fell on the monocle on Su Qin's eye socket. His gaze seemed to see through the medium of the monocle and into the ghost gate hidden within it.
"You can take this gate to the underworld back with you. I no longer need it. But you'd better remember that this gate should never be opened lightly. Once it gets out of control, not only you, but even Xiao Qin will have a hard time turning things around."
Luo Wensong had been with the Ghost Gate for a century, and no one knew its terror better than him. Behind the Ghost Gate was another terrifying and supernatural place. He had no choice but to dismantle the Ghost Gate and hand it over to Elder Qin for safekeeping, hoping it would come in handy.
"Leaving this haunted place is both difficult and easy. You can leave simply by entering the post office. However, once inside, you will become a messenger and participate in paranormal events. Only by completing all the tasks can you completely leave the post office."
Luo Wensong casually stated this cruel truth, causing Su Qin's lips to twitch.
After all that, they still put him in the post office as a messenger. What's the difference between this and what Luo Wensong said when he first appeared?
Su Qin had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the fact. But just as he was about to agree, Luo Wensong's indifferent voice rang out again.
"I can send you away from this haunted place, but in return, you need to do something for me. It's not difficult. You are Qin's chosen agent, so it's not impossible for you to participate in some things. But you must do it according to the requirements. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
As he finished speaking, Luo Wensong's tone turned exceptionally cold, as if warning Su Qin not to have any ulterior motives.
Su Qin smiled sheepishly and honestly agreed:
"Don't worry, Grandpa! I will definitely do what you ask me to do. I will not touch what I shouldn't touch, and I will not think about what I shouldn't think about. I will follow your instructions completely."
If he can leave without being a messenger, then of course he can't miss this opportunity. Even if Luo Wensong makes some outrageous demands, asking him to participate in some terrifying supernatural event, it's still better than being a messenger and getting caught up in endless unknown supernatural events. In short, he should get out first.
Luo Wensong scrutinized Su Qin with his indifferent gaze, as if trying to see through his thoughts, but he didn't seem to figure anything out.
"On the seventh day of the fourth month next year, go to this place, take the box under the gate, open it in Dachang City, and spread a message from inside. Don't worry about anything else, just do what I've told you to do."
Luo Wensong took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Su Qin. The paper contained a detailed address. Su Qin took the paper and carefully put it into his supernatural medium, waiting for Luo Wensong's next instructions.
After handing the items to Su Qin, Luo Wensong raised his withered arm and casually grabbed at something in mid-air. His hand, covered in lividity, seemed to have grasped something, and he was exerting force as if he were pulling something, but there was clearly nothing in mid-air.
crunch~
A chilling sound of a door opening suddenly rang in Su Qin's ears.
Su Qin was shocked to discover that Luo Wensong's hand, covered in lividity, had somehow grasped a decaying, old door panel. He slowly pulled the panel open, revealing a dark and eerie space behind it, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura.
Su Qin looked at Luo Wensong with some confusion, not knowing what this meant.
"Remember, no matter what happens, never look back or wander off. Keep walking forward, push open the door on the other side, and you can leave."
Luo Wensong gave Su Qin a serious warning, as if something terrible would happen if he didn't follow his instructions.
Su Qin kept Luo Wensong's words firmly in mind, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the ghost gate that had appeared out of nowhere.
