240. Chapter 240: The Corpse in the Pool

Li Yi and Qin Bing looked at the pale dead man's head in the water and kept studying it. Their fear of ghosts was not as deep as the people in this world. Although they knew this thing was very dangerous, if they could find some tricks, perhaps they could increase their survival rate in the subsequent delivery mission.

"Very strange, it saw us, and it was right in front of us, but it didn't attack us." Qin Bing paused for a while and found that he was not attacked.

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly at this moment. He immediately thought of the three sentences Zheng Yaoyao had told him before, the last of which was to gain insight into the laws of ghosts.

It seems now that ghosts don't kill everyone they see, but follow certain laws.

Although the ghosts in this world are very terrifying, they are not like the Yin gods and ghosts in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, who kill whenever they want, but are subject to certain restrictions. If one can find the reason why this ghost is restricted from killing, then the probability of survival is very high, and this might be the so-called law.

"Ghosts only kill under specific conditions. We are not under specific conditions now, so even if I see the ghost, the ghost will not do anything to us." Li Yi said at this moment, and then he was very bold, picking up a pebble next to the green belt.

With the operation of Qi and blood, he threw it out casually.

The pebble shot out like a bullet, and the next moment it pierced through the pale dead man's head.

It's just that no blood flowed out of the wound, but instead, water kept bubbling out, the water was foul-smelling and yellow, like corpse water.

But the head still stared at Li Yi and still didn't make any moves.

"It doesn't attack us even like this?" Qin Bing said while smoking: "It seems your analysis is very correct. The ghosts in this world have certain restrictions. Now I understand why they choose to seal off a place immediately after a supernatural event occurs. As long as there are no people around, the ghost will be calm."

"However, this is just a preliminary analysis. Perhaps this conclusion is only useful for the few ghosts we encountered and not for others," Li Yi said, throwing a few more pebbles.

Under his powerful strength, the pale dead man's head was smashed to pieces by him in a short while.

But a strange thing happened.

As the head sank into the water, it immediately returned to its previous state. The wounds pierced by Li Yi just now all disappeared, and the pale eyes seemed to have a bit more resentment towards Li Yi.

"Sure enough, it can't be killed. Even if the body is destroyed, it will immediately recover under the action of some power. Is this the horror of supernatural power? It's just that such a level of power shouldn't appear in this world," Qin Bing sighed.

Li Yi studied it for a while and then nodded deeply.

Afterwards, the group didn't stay any longer but continued to look for abnormalities elsewhere.

Soon.

The entire gymnasium was explored. They understood everything here and confirmed some problematic places. As for the person named Wang Fei, they still hadn't found them. They even looked at the list of gymnasium staff, and Wang Fei's name wasn't on it.

But Li Yi could be sure that this Wang Fei was likely not a living person, but a dead one.

Because there was not a single living person in the entire gymnasium except for them. If there were, they would have been discovered quickly with the perception ability of an Evolver.

"So, is this letter for a dead person? It's just that there are so many people missing in the gymnasium, and finding that Wang Fei is not easy. Moreover, there is likely a ghost near the dead person. This doesn't look like a delivery mission, but a death mission," Li Yi frowned and said.

"I think since the Ghost Post Office let us deliver the letter, it shouldn't give a must-die delivery mission. Of course, there is difficulty, but we have to grasp the risks ourselves. Let's not talk about this. Let's go find Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing to join them and see if they have any gains," Qin Bing said.

Li Yi nodded and then contacted them, preparing to join them.

Soon.

The two teams that were separated before joined together again.

Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing were also very cautious. They didn't go to investigate places with abnormalities, but just passed by and recorded them. The two sides exchanged information, and soon they had a rough result.

"Swimming hall, dormitory building, water pool, and toilet. These four places have problems. Either a stench of corpses was smelled, or traces of ghosts were seen. Everything else is normal, nothing was found. And Wang Fei, who receives the letter, is likely a dead person in my inference, and may be a ghost. And the place where they are is likely these four places, no, three places, there are only ghosts in the pool, no corpses."

Li Yi made a summary and looked at the others: "I suggest using the elimination method to explore slowly. Still the same sentence, we have many people and sufficient time, no rush. So I suggest starting from the toilet, then the swimming hall, and then the dormitory building. When exploring, also divide into two teams to avoid being wiped out together."

"This is very reasonable, steady and steady," Tao Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Then let's do it," Qin Bing said while smoking.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Yi immediately took action.

The seven of them arrived at a public toilet in the gymnasium at the fastest speed. The toilet area was not large, but it emitted a stench of rotting corpses. This smell made Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing, who had passed by here before, not dare to rush in to investigate, fearing an accident.

It's just that now, in order to find that Wang Fei, they had to take a risk.

"Follow me," Li Yi glanced at Guo You and another messenger, and then strode toward the toilet with Qin Bing.

They first walked into the men's toilet.

"Open all the doors and find out if there is Wang Fei's corpse," Li Yi said.

Guo You and another messenger didn't dare to resist and had to obey, opening all the doors in the men's toilet one by one. But unfortunately, they didn't find Wang Fei's corpse, but only found some skin fragments in the toilet, which were the things that emitted the stench.

"Nothing found? Go to the women's toilet and see," Li Yi was observing the situation around him. He was slightly disappointed and immediately went to the next door to check.

The danger in this toilet is the smallest. Once something is wrong, he can immediately retreat. If Wang Fei cannot be found here, then this person is likely in the swimming hall and dormitory building, and these two places are relatively large, not only troublesome to find, but also have a high probability of encountering danger.

After a while, Li Yi and the others left the toilet. He shook his head, finding nothing.

"Since that's the case, let's go to the swimming hall," Tao Yuan said.

The group returned to the original place.

Just standing in front of the gate of the swimming hall, the smell of rotting corpses came to their faces, making people want to vomit.

"This time Zhang Jing and I will investigate, Li Yi, you wait outside." Tao Yuan took a deep breath, ignoring the stench, and walked into the swimming hall with Zhang Jing and another messenger.

"Be careful, retreat if you find danger, don't worry about so much," Qin Bing reminded.

Zhang Jing said: "Don't worry, we will run immediately if there is danger, and won't hesitate. We suffered such a big loss before, and now we have learned our lesson."

Li Yi was silent.

What he was worried about was not running when encountering danger, but not being able to run at all when encountering danger.

However, he didn't know the situation in the gymnasium, and it was indeed necessary for someone to investigate the situation.

Soon.

Tao Yuan, Zhang Jing, and another messenger walked cautiously into the gymnasium.

Just past the gate, they felt that the air was filled with dampness, and everything was wet, making people feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, the lights in the corridor flickered on and off irregularly. Besides that, many wet footprints remained on the ground. These footprints were dense, filling every corner of the gymnasium, and even on the walls.

The water stains were not dry, some new and some old, as if someone had just walked here.

But they didn't hear any movement, and they couldn't see anyone now. No, those who could move here couldn't even be considered people, because this place had been sealed off long ago, and it was impossible for there to be any living people.

"There are ghosts here," Tao Yuan said in a low voice.

Zhang Jing agreed deeply. If there were no ghosts here, she wouldn't believe it even if she were beaten to death.

But since they were here, it was impossible to retreat now. If they didn't complete the delivery mission, they would be killed by ghosts. And although it was dangerous here, at least there was room for maneuver.

The three people continued to move forward cautiously.

After walking through a passage, they arrived at the swimming hall.

At this moment, the eyes of several people suddenly shrank, and they saw a strange and creepy scene.

In the originally clear pool, countless corpses were densely soaked at this moment. These corpses were piled up layer by layer, intertwined with each other. I don't know how long they had been here. Many corpses had been soaked to the point of swelling and turning white, and some corpses seemed to maintain their appearance before death, terrified and ferocious, appearing particularly creepy.

"Is this the person who went missing in the gymnasium before?" Tao Yuan was very shocked.

It is not an easy task to fill such a large swimming pool. At least hundreds of people were left here. So many people died at once. No wonder this place had to be sealed off.

It's just, would that Wang Fei they were looking for be in this pool?

If so, the difficulty of finding them would be too great. There are hundreds of corpses here, and they are all nameless. If they want to complete the delivery mission, they have to try one by one. But in that case, not only is the danger great, but the time spent is also very long. This is simply unrealistic.

There must be some way to confirm Wang Fei's identity, but they haven't discovered it yet.

"Do we need to continue investigating?" Zhang Jing asked.

Tao Yuan calmed down and said: "If we just take a look and leave, we won't get any information. Let's stay away from this pool and go around the auditorium to see if there are any other discoveries."

However, just as they continued to walk a distance, they stopped abruptly.

Because for some reason, the corpses in the pool suddenly opened their eyes at this moment, and then looked at Tao Yuan and Zhang Jing and the others in unison.

This scene made the two people's hair stand up instantly, and they subconsciously wanted to escape from here.

"Calm down," Tao Yuan said in a low voice, not acting rashly.

The scene froze at this moment.

But after a while, Tao Yuan found that the corpses in the pool didn't make any other moves except staring at them. ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
