239. Chapter 239: Searching for the Missing Person
Zhongyang City, adjacent to Dayuan City.
It is an inconspicuous small city. If not for this delivery mission, Li Yi and the others would not have come here even if they were investigating the situation of this world.
After driving for several hours, Li Yi and the others arrived at this city smoothly and found the Zhongyang City Gymnasium according to the navigation.
"This place has also been sealed off."
However, before the vehicle even got close, they saw warning lines set up around the gymnasium, and there were security guards patrolling the surroundings. However, compared to Dazhuang City before, the number of security personnel here was relatively small, and they didn't have live ammunition. But even so, it made Li Yi and the others immediately solemn.
"Having a blockade means there is something supernatural. Sure enough, this letter seems simple but is actually forcing us to deal with the supernatural, letting us grow and progress through one supernatural event after another," Qin Bing said, then looked at the others: "How about it? Should we break in directly to deliver the letter, or come back at night?"
"The other messengers haven't arrived yet," Zhang Jing said. "I suggest waiting. Although those messengers are all ordinary people, they arrived at the Ghost Post Office a step earlier than us and have contacted some old messengers, knowing more information than us. Sometimes you have to listen to their opinions."
"We cannot look down on ordinary people because of our own strength. Delivering letters in the Ghost Post Office seems to care more about information gaps; individual strength doesn't have much influence unless we are Ghost Controllers."
Li Yi nodded: "That makes sense. Then let's wait. I estimate those people will arrive in the afternoon. Let's take this time to understand what happened to the gymnasium in this city, and who that person named Wang Fei is."
"No problem. But for the sake of safety, let's act separately. Zhang Jing, you are injured and haven't recovered yet, so you stay nearby and wait. Don't get close to the gymnasium to avoid being targeted by ghosts. At the same time, you can also see when the other messengers arrive," Tao Yuan said, then asked: "By the way, do you have enough nutrient solution on you? If not enough, I can share some with you."
"Not for now, thank you," Zhang Jing said.
After the group tentatively agreed, they soon dispersed.
They entered the city and began trying various methods to investigate the gymnasium.
This investigation really turned up some things.
It turned out that some time ago, the Zhongyang City Gymnasium was still in a normal state of operation. People usually went to the gymnasium to swim, exercise, and work out. But I don't know when it started, people began to go missing one after another in the gymnasium. At first, it was only one or two, but later the number of missing people increased. The most terrifying time was when everyone in the entire gymnasium went missing.
After that, the gymnasium was sealed off, and no one could enter anymore.
As for the person named Wang Fei, no clues have been found yet, and it is unknown who it is, but there is no doubt that this Wang Fei must be inside the gymnasium now.
It's just unknown why the Ghost Post Office wants to deliver this letter to that Wang Fei.
What does the letter represent?
What is the content of the letter?
Li Yi was a bit curious, and sometimes even wanted to open the letter to see, but a feeling told him that it was best not to touch this letter, otherwise some unexpected terrifying things would happen.
In the end, he suppressed his inner curiosity and didn't bother with the letter.
Time passed quickly.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jing sent a message saying that Guo You and the other messengers had arrived near the gymnasium.
"Assemble, start the delivery mission." Li Yi didn't continue to waste time and immediately sent a message, asking everyone to assemble.
It took less than ten minutes.
Near the Zhongyang City Gymnasium, all the messengers from the first floor had arrived.
"Acting in broad daylight, there's no way to avoid security. If we break in and get caught, then our delivery mission won't be completed, and we'll die miserably," Guo You said.
As a messenger, the biggest worry is getting caught for committing a crime, because that would delay the delivery time.
"Very simple, just don't get discovered," Li Yi said, then strode over and grabbed him.
The weight of over a hundred jin seemed to have no weight in his hands.
Accompanied by the explosion of Qi and blood under his feet, his whole person rushed out instantly, with incredible speed. Even if security personnel were patrolling nearby, it was useless. In just the time of a turn, Li Yi had already taken Guo You across the warning line and rushed directly into the gymnasium.
"Damn, what is this? Superman?" The messenger next to him watched, dumbfounded.
They knew Li Yi and the others had some unusual skills, but they didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
Was that strength a joke?
Even the hard cement floor could be stepped on to create cracks. That instantly erupted speed was too fast, already leaving afterimages, and the line of sight couldn't even capture it.
"This guy's strength has become stronger again," Qin Bing glanced and said in a suppressed voice.
"I can see it. But we have to act too," Tao Yuan said, then also grabbed a messenger and rushed out instantly.
The full eruption of an Inspiration Realm expert's speed was also outrageously fast.
These security personnel were all ordinary people. They only needed a moment of distraction, and they could seize the blind spot of their line of sight and cross the warning line before the other party could react.
At this moment.
Li Yi, who rushed into the gymnasium, put Guo You down casually and then began to look at the situation around him.
"Wow!"
Guo You, an ordinary person, couldn't stand such high-speed movement. At this moment, he felt his head spinning, his body was about to fall apart, and finally, he couldn't help but bend over and vomit.
"Since we have already participated in the delivery mission, there is no need to hide the strength of an Evolver," Li Yi glanced at Guo You and then shook his head.
The physical fitness of people in this world is too poor; they can't stand it with a little tossing.
Afterwards.
Qin Bing, Tao Yuan, and Zhang Jing also successfully entered the gymnasium. When they came, they also brought the other two messengers.
Similarly, the two ordinary people also immediately bent over and vomited, and it took a while to recover.
And after recovering, when they looked at Li Yi and the others, their eyes were already full of awe.
"Are you already Ghost Controllers?" Guo You asked with shock at this moment.
"We are not Ghost Controllers. Don't ask about things you shouldn't know; it's no good for you. What you need to do now is find that Wang Fei and complete this delivery mission. If you know any information about the Ghost Post Office during this period, say it immediately. This is good for everyone," Li Yi said.
At this time, another messenger said: "I, I know a piece of information. During the delivery mission, messengers have the opportunity to obtain some supernatural items and supernatural props, which can increase the probability of survival."
"Supernatural items? Props? What are those?" Li Yi asked.
"Ominous things contaminated with supernatural power, possessing certain supernatural power, which can be used to fight against ghosts, or some other functions. I heard this too, but it's not news obtained from the post office, but information obtained through other channels," the messenger said.
Li Yi nodded, roughly understanding.
Similar to black letter paper.
This kind of ominous and strange thing always possesses some divine abilities and can exert effects to a certain extent.
And just as the few people were talking.
As Evolvers, they immediately smelled a strange odor drifting over.
That was the stench of rotting corpses, and not only that, the air also carried a heavy water vapor, giving people a damp feeling.
"Should we act together or separately?" At this time, Qin Bing asked in a low voice.
"It must be safer to act together," Guo You said immediately, but soon he noticed the wrong expressions of others and immediately shut his mouth.
Li Yi, Tao Yuan, and Zhang Jing were silent, thinking of the previous situation.
Acting together might not mean safety for them; it meant that if something went wrong, they would be wiped out.
"The gymnasium is very large. Let's explore in two teams. If you find Wang Fei, notify immediately. I will rush over to deliver the letter. If there is any danger, don't get close; wait until the situation is determined," Li Yi finally proposed such a plan.
"No problem."
"Time is ample now. It's better to look around first to determine the situation of this gymnasium."
The group expressed agreement.
"Li Yi, I will act with you. Zhang Jing and Tao Yuan will act together. This way, we can take care of each other," Qin Bing said.
He had a severed hand, and Zhang Jing was injured. Now only Li Yi and Tao Yuan had no problems.
"Good," Li Yi nodded.
"I will also act with you," Guo You said hurriedly.
Li Yi glanced and did not object.
Soon, the two teams were arranged.
Li Yi and Qin Bing, as well as Guo You and another unfamiliar messenger, were one team, and the other three formed another team.
Since the teams were determined, they immediately took action. They looked at the map of the gymnasium, arranged the route, and then separated to explore.
Just as mentioned before, the gymnasium is very large, and there are gardens, green landscapes, and various sports venues inside.
Basketball hall, swimming hall, volleyball hall, etc.
It really takes some time to find someone here.
However, Li Yi was very direct. He followed the stench of corpses and walked all the way, finally locking his gaze in the swimming hall.
"The smell is coming from inside. This swimming hall has a problem," Li Yi stopped and frowned.
"Determine the danger point first, then explore slowly," Qin Bing said.
Li Yi nodded and went to other places. Later, he smelled the same smell in a dormitory building, but this time the smell was very faint, almost imperceptible. However, considering the complexity of the dormitory building, he still didn't risk entering, but continued to check other places.
Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing's situation was the same. They first determined the abnormal points and then checked them, instead of rushing in recklessly.
However, just as Li Yi passed a green area, he and Qin Bing suddenly noticed something and immediately looked in the same direction.
In the middle of the green belt, there was a water fountain, but in the water, a head soaked to the point of turning white was floating on the surface. Under the wet black hair, a pair of pale eyes looked over here, and the eyeballs were slowly rotating with Li Yi's movement.
"Is that... a ghost?" The wet dead man's head stared at Li Yi, and Li Yi also stared at this head, not afraid at all.
"High probability it is."
Qin Bing couldn't help but smoke another cigarette at this moment to ease his uneasy mood: "But it didn't attack us. It seems relatively calm."
Guo You looked at the dead man's head in the water and then at Li Yi, his heart was shocked and afraid.
Are you all so bold? Still studying ghosts here? Shouldn't you leave here immediately and stay away from ghosts?
Guo You naturally didn't know that, in fact, Li Yi and Qin Bing were already tense all over. As long as the ghost had the intention to rush over, they could retreat more than ten meters away within a second and escape the gymnasium in a few seconds without any hesitation.
This is the confidence of an Evolver.
