Zhang Dong's Intentions? Red High Heels
Chapter 222 Zhang Dong's Intentions? Red High Heels (4k)
The moment Zhang Dong appeared, an indescribable and terrifying supernatural force began to affect the surrounding environment.
The old man did not launch a supernatural attack at this time, but that does not mean that Lu Ming and the others will not be affected by him.
Moreover, Lu Ming knew very well that this was without Zhang Dong making a move.
As long as Zhang Dong raises his hand and waves it gently, he can "erase" the evil spirits inside them like an eraser.
Without the support of the supernatural, even the most powerful ghost tamer is no different from an ordinary person.
Even for most ghost tamers, their physical condition was already very poor, and once they lost the support of the supernatural, they would die immediately.
Sun Rui and Li Yang also sensed that some terrifying presence was right beside them.
But they couldn't even see Zhang Dong's face clearly.
When I came to my senses, everything in front of me was empty; there was nothing left.
The same applies from Lu Ming's perspective.
Zhang Dong appeared for a moment and then disappeared immediately, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"No, it's definitely not a hallucination."
"This terrifying supernatural suppression is undeniable, and I wasn't the only one present; Sun Rui and Li Yang also sensed the impending danger at the same time..."
"Even if what we saw wasn't Zhang Dong's true form, this thing must still be related to Zhang Dong in some way..."
Lu Ming pondered.
Was it a false alarm?
not necessarily.
It's hard to say whether this sudden change was just a coincidence or a pointless test.
Zhang Donghui must have had his own deeper meaning in doing this.
The fact that the ghost post office's messenger was specifically sent to Lu Ming's house to deliver the letter, and the eerie figure that appeared for a moment just now, all indicate that Lu Ming's actions have attracted Zhang Dong's attention.
People of their caliber are probably all secretly watching Lu Ming's actions.
"I can't figure it out for now. As long as it doesn't harm me, I'll go upstairs first."
Lu Ming did not linger on the eerie staircase for too long, lest some unforeseen danger occur.
The sudden appearance of the old man made Lu Ming and his companions more wary.
The old man's silence meant they were lucky, but if they continued to be complacent, they would eventually encounter a vengeful ghost that could kill.
It wouldn't be so easy to handle then.
Just as Lu Ming passed the spot where the old man had stood.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright red spot on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
On this eerie staircase leading to the second floor of the Ghost Post Office, everything was unknown and nothing could be seen clearly, but this bright red color broke through this limitation and appeared in Lu Ming's sight.
This is a piece of cloth, a red cloth, a red that is not commonly seen in everyday life because it is too bright red, as if it were dyed with blood.
The feeling Lu Ming got was like the ghost blood on Yan Li's body, and the fabric of the wedding dress on the ghost bride.
Eerie, cold, and creepy.
"This was... left by Zhang Dong when he passed through here?"
With some doubts in his heart, Lu Ming used his Ghost Domain to wrap the red cloth and examine it.
There was nothing else unusual; all that could be seen was that the cloth was incomplete, merely a fragment, and although it was imbued with supernatural elements, there was no indication of any danger lurking within it.
"Perhaps we need to mend the missing pieces of fabric to know its exact purpose."
Lu Ming tried several possible methods, even dripping blood from his fingertip onto the red cloth, but in the end nothing happened.
Seeing this, Lu Ming simply stopped paying attention, carefully put the item away, and then led Li Yang and Sun Rui across the dimly lit stairs to the second floor of the post office.
Generally speaking, the layout of the second floor of the Ghost Post Office is not much different from that of the first floor.
The corridors are all U-shaped.
Old, dark, and cold.
The few yellowish lights in the stairwell were barely lit, giving the impression that they might go out at any moment.
The wall next to it was mottled and dark, with many stains remaining, as if fresh blood had been smeared on it and dried.
In addition, there are some strange scratches on the wall, and even some weird black drawings, as if someone had used ink to scribble on them.
Each room on the second floor has a door number hanging outside.
21、22、23、24······一直到27。
The number 2 at the beginning indicates the floor level, while the number following it indicates the room number.
Like the first floor of the post office, the second floor also has only 7 rooms, enough to house 7 messengers.
Of course, the idea that seven messengers could live in one room is an ideal scenario; the idea that only one person can live in one room is just speculation based on available information and has not been confirmed.
Last night, Lu Ming and his group of four squeezed into one room, and they were the last survivors.
At that moment, the sound of the other messengers arguing came from the side; it seemed to be a dispute over the allocation of rooms.
Lu Ming glanced in the direction of the voice: "Are the rooms full?"
“Sun Rui, go and talk to them and ask them to vacate a room. I don’t mind sharing a room with them, but if they don’t want to share, then we’ll have to ask them to leave.”
"Received, Captain Lu."
Upon hearing this, Sun Rui gave a somewhat strange smile.
The reason Sun Rui was chosen to do this task instead of Li Yang is because Sun Rui has been in charge of Dahan City for many years; to put it bluntly, he's a local tyrant.
Li Yang was just a newcomer.
The two are naturally very different in terms of temperament.
Da da da!
With a crisp sound, Sun Rui, leaning on his golden cane, walked towards room number 3.
The messengers here got into a heated argument.
"Sun Shi, you clearly promised that my girlfriend would be your girlfriend for one night, and that you would give up your room and stay with me when we go back to the Ghost Post Office. What do you mean by going back on your word now?"
"Hmm? Aren't you being a little too naive?"
The man called Sun Shi sneered repeatedly, saying, "Why would I joke about such a trivial matter? It's just some jokes at the dinner table; only someone like you would take it seriously."
"you······"
The young man, who had been cuckolded and received no benefit whatsoever, was so angry that his lips turned blue, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Sun Shi makes it sound nice, like it's just a joke at the dinner table, but when he was taking the benefits, why didn't he think it was just a joke?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"I'm going to fight you!"
The scene was incredibly tense, as if it could ignite at any moment.
Just then, Sun Rui, leaning on a golden cane and dressed in a black suit, appeared not far from the two. He coughed twice like a patient, and then said, "Alright, you don't need to argue anymore. I'll help you come up with an idea regarding the right to stay in this room."
"A messenger who came up from the first floor?"
Sun Shi looked Sun Rui up and down with a hint of apprehension and quickly guessed his identity.
“This is a private matter between us. I suggest you don’t interfere, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
A messenger who can deliver three letters and climb from the first floor to the second floor of the post office is undoubtedly one of the best in the area.
Therefore, Sun Shi did not easily take action against Sun Rui, but wanted to find out his background.
"Well then, since you're guests, although I can't give you my room, I'm willing to offer some gold and some money as compensation... You should know the value of gold, right? You've come all the way up to the second floor."
Sun Shi's expression was initially gloomy, but it quickly softened, and he became more accommodating, appearing very easy to talk to.
Upon hearing this, Sun Rui couldn't help but sneer repeatedly.
Having been in charge for so many years, he's quite the seasoned veteran. How could he not understand the meaning behind Sun Shi's words?
They simply wanted to test his true colors, to find out if he was a real ruthless person or just a cowardly blusterer.
If Sun Rui agrees immediately, then Sun Shi will definitely not provide the promised compensation.
Sun Rui's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense here. Don't think you can talk to me so peacefully. If my captain comes, you'll be a dead man by now."
"Oh?"
The two messengers, who had just been arguing, exchanged a glance and quickly reached an agreement, deciding to unite and fight together against a common enemy.
"Sun Shi, don't try to back out this time. After you take care of this guy, I have to stay in your room tonight."
“No problem. Judging from this guy’s demeanor, he seems to have someone backing him. If we let them move in, my little room will probably never be peaceful.”
There were less than 5 minutes left before the lights went out at 6 o'clock.
Such a short time, almost in the blink of an eye, is not enough to do many things.
However, supernatural confrontations often end in an instant.
Five minutes is enough.
"Let's get started."
···········
In less than a minute, the supernatural confrontation was over.
When Lu Ming and Sun Rui entered the room, the two people who were originally in the room had their hands and feet broken, and were kneeling on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
They were definitely not going to make it. They were beaten to this state by Sun Rui and were going to be thrown out of the room soon. It would be a miracle if they survived.
The two men looked at Sun Rui with deep fear in their eyes.
Although they were all ghost tamers, Sun Rui made them feel a terrifying sense of oppression, leaving them no chance to fight back.
After Lu Ming entered the room, Sun Rui treated him with utmost respect. Considering Sun Rui's previous mention of him as "captain," this person in front of him was undoubtedly even more terrifying and stronger than Sun Rui.
In the paranormal world, everything depends on your abilities.
Having a powerful background and status is useless if you don't have a strong fist; then no one will obey your command.
"This guy... looks like just a high school student, with a clean-cut appearance, he doesn't look like someone who's tough at all..."
Sun Shi looked at Lu Ming and felt a deep sense of despair.
He kept pleading with Lu Ming with his eyes, but the other party didn't even glance at him.
Sun Shi was very familiar with this attitude.
When the other person is far beyond your level, and you are no different from a stray dog in their eyes, this is the kind of attitude they will have.
Lu Ming and his two companions felt no pity for the messengers on the ground.
Those who have reached this point have all had blood on their hands.
Their existence would make them vicious criminals even outside. Rather than letting them send messages and cause trouble, it's better to send them on their way now.
The messengers in the next few rooms also noticed the strangeness here.
However, they did not intervene.
The law of the jungle happens every day in this post office. It's already a miracle if you can keep your own safety. Nobody wants to live too long to meddle in other people's business.
Therefore, indifference has become the norm here.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Ghost Post Office turned off its lights on time.
The thick, viscous darkness, like mercury, writhed and swallowed the entire post office.
Before long, the entire post office fell into an eerie silence.
"The letter will arrive after dawn, but no one can guarantee that nothing will happen tonight, so everyone should stay up tonight."
Unlike when he was on the first floor of the post office, Lu Ming did not start snatching other people's mail as soon as he entered the post office.
This wasn't because he was afraid of the messenger on the second floor.
In Lu Ming's eyes, ghost tamers of this level were just like ordinary people and posed no threat whatsoever.
On the one hand, it's because it's already very late, the Ghost Post Office is dark, and it's best not to move around unnecessarily.
On the other hand, the appearance of "Zhang Dong" made Lu Ming vaguely sense that something was wrong.
He wanted to see what the new mission would be tomorrow, at least to see the specific level, so that Lu Ming could have a basic understanding of the current situation.
At first, the post office was relatively calm, but just as Sun Rui was about to throw out the two troublesome guys in the corner of the room, the sound of cloth shoes stepping on the wooden board came out.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
The voice was hollow and numb, giving me goosebumps.
The sound first came from a very distant place, then eerily stopped for a while, and when it reappeared, it was already at the door of Lu Ming and the others' room.
Li Yang's expression turned serious: "Is the ghost coming?"
The current scene is very similar to the last one.
However, this time, they weren't as lucky as before.
Controlling a vengeful ghost is not something that can be done just by talking about it.
The dangers and horrors they actually experienced were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"No, this isn't the same ghost as last time."
Lu Ming had already sensed that something was wrong.
The sound of cloth shoes that came through at the beginning was exactly the same as last time.
But when the sound reappeared, it had changed from a piercing creak to a crisp tapping sound.
It was as if a woman wearing red high heels was walking towards their room.
"Is that Sister Hong?"
"We can't jump to conclusions so easily... In short, this is a completely new vengeful ghost that I haven't encountered before. We must be as careful as possible, gather all the information we can, and then make a plan."
