As time passed gradually.

Guo You and the other two messengers had temporarily figured out the situation of the first floor of the collection museum during this afternoon. They were relatively lucky and did not encounter ghosts. Instead, they found something suspected to be a supernatural item. It was an old hand warmer, but they didn't know what it was specifically used for. They only knew that the thing was obtained by a messenger.

The messenger who got the old hand warmer didn't dare to study it blindly, fearing that he would be killed by the supernatural item if he was not careful, so he just collected it and decided to study it slowly in the future.

This kind of harvest made others envious, and they all felt that this adventure was worth it.

"Li Yi, the situation on the first floor is temporarily like this. We really didn't find anything else." At this moment, everyone gathered together again, eating, drinking, and chatting.

Those who didn't know would think they were at a party.

But what they were discussing was how to find the ghost in the collection museum and how to complete the letter delivery mission.

"Looking at this, no matter what, we have to go to the underground floor." Liu Qingqing said.

Li Yi said with a calm expression at this moment: "When I entered meditation before, I perceived the situation on the underground floor. There has always been movement, and sometimes I sensed more than one pair of footsteps, one heavy and one light, which is a bit abnormal."

"Two pairs of footsteps?" Others looked at Li Yi in surprise at this moment.

They don't doubt Li Yi's super perception ability. After all, he is a superman, and it is very reasonable to have some superpowers.

What they are surprised about is, could it be that there are two ghosts in this collection museum?

"Could it be another supernatural person living downstairs?" Guo You asked: "Just like the previous curator Fang Hua, it seems that he is still alive, but actually he has died. After all, ordinary people cannot live with ghosts all the time. And this letter delivery mission is to let us deliver the letter to the ghost in the collection museum. If there are two ghosts, this is a bit inconsistent with the requirements of delivering the letter."

"Maybe just deliver the letter to one of the ghosts." Another messenger on the second floor said.

"Should be impossible." Guo You shook his head: "If that's the case, the mission requirement would directly say to deliver it to one of the ghosts in the collection museum."

"Now there is no need to think so much. After taking action tomorrow morning, we will decide based on the situation." Li Yi said: "Everything that needs to be done today has been done. You rest. I will pay attention to the situation around at night. If there is any movement, I will notify you. I believe that in this situation, you will not sleep very soundly."

"Then how can I be embarrassed to let you keep watch? Let's take turns." Guo You said.

Li Yi glanced at him and said: "Your perception ability is too poor. Maybe the ghost walked to your side and you didn't know it. I am different. With my senses, as long as the ghost has a little movement, I can know it even across two floors."

At night, in a quiet environment, the senses of his evolutionist are more acute, and capturing the movements of evil ghosts is as simple as eating and drinking.

If it weren't for the fact that the opening was too poor after entering this world, and so many teammates died, otherwise, after they adapted to the supernatural power of this world, they would definitely be the batch of people with the highest survival ability.

"I am a ghost controller and don't need to sleep. I will keep watch with you." Liu Qingqing said at this time.

"Good." Li Yi did not refuse and agreed.

Others saw this and had nothing to say. They indeed do not possess Li Yi's extraordinary ability, nor are they ghost controllers. They can only help and do some things within their power.

As time passed gradually.

It was soon night.

This night is destined to be long.

Because the collection museum has long been closed, there is no water or electricity. It is pitch black here at night, and only a little light from outside the window shines in. But for ordinary people, this little light is almost useless, and can only barely confirm the general position, not enough for them to see the situation around clearly.

Although everyone brought mobile phones, in this situation, they didn't dare to take the mobile phone and turn on the light to shine everywhere.

In this environment, even Liu Qingqing didn't dare to act at will. Although she is a ghost controller, her eyes cannot see at night, and she can only reduce the frequency of activities.

Although everyone is a messenger on the second floor and has a certain amount of experience, it is still a very difficult thing to sleep in this environment.

You must know that ghosts are wandering somewhere downstairs, and you don't know when the ghost will come to your side and target them.

But their worry seems to be superfluous.

Li Yi has been sitting with his eyes closed. He spreads his perception and masters any movement around him. Although his perception cannot spread to the entire collection museum, he can still determine the situation around him. And in the entire first half of the night, the second floor here has always been in a safe range, and no abnormality has appeared.

Until late at night after twelve o'clock.

A rapid pair of footsteps suddenly appeared on the first floor. The footsteps were very light, and the movement was not big, as if someone was running past barefoot.

"Huh?"

Li Yi slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and a pair of pupils were glowing in the dark.

He looked at Liu Qingqing next to him.

Liu Qingqing sat against the wall to rest. She didn't sleep either, but she didn't notice the footsteps that suddenly appeared on the first floor at all, and didn't hear them at all.

It seems that the senses of ordinary people are indeed not good.

Li Yi originally thought that the footsteps downstairs would also disappear quickly, but he didn't expect that the footsteps were like a headless fly, running around on the first floor. Although the running speed was not fast, the position of the movement was constantly changing. Sometimes it was in the distance, sometimes it appeared near downstairs in a flash, and sometimes it seemed to be running out of the collection museum.

"Constantly changing orientation..."

He thought of the ability of the ghost controller named Wang Qiao, who could suddenly appear in a certain place or suddenly disappear.

It seems that the ghost downstairs also possesses this ability.

In this way, it is a bit troublesome to successfully deliver the letter.

But just when Li Yi thought this, in the next moment, his whole body suddenly tightened, and a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.

Step, step step!

Rapid footsteps sounded. For some reason, the ghost on the first floor actually ran to the second floor along the stairs quickly. This change in behavior was very abrupt and unpredictable, and the ghost's movement speed was also very fast. At this moment, it had almost finished walking the stairs.

"Liu Qingqing, the ghost is coming up." Li Yi said in a suppressed voice at this moment.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing, who was resting with her eyes closed, also opened her eyes suddenly. She found Li Yi in the dark environment instantly, because Li Yi's pair of pupils were glowing, brilliant and crystal clear, as if a galaxy was flowing, very strange. With such a distinct feature, no matter where he was, she could recognize him at a glance.

"I can't see anything, it's pitch black in front of me, but I seem to have heard a little movement..." Liu Qingqing said in a low voice.

"I can see, my eyes can see at night. You just need to be vigilant. The ghost is going upstairs. When it needs to take action, I will create an opportunity for you." Li Yi said.

"Good." Liu Qingqing nodded.

Li Yi just stood up slowly at this moment. He remained motionless, kept quiet, held the cracked short stick tightly in his hand, and stared at the direction of the stairs with a pair of pupils.

At the entrance of the stairs, he poured a pool of corpse water.

Wait.

Why did the corpse water turn red?

Li Yi saw it very clearly at this moment. As the evil ghost approached, the corpse water poured on the ground was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a while, it was no longer a pool of corpse water, but a pool of blood.

"Is it because there is a ghost nearby, so the corpse water containing supernatural power had some kind of reaction?" He had a general guess in his heart.

If this is the case, then it is a good thing. At least Li Yi understood another role of corpse water.

However, corpse water cannot stop evil ghosts, and Li Yi doesn't count on a pool of water to block the ghost outside the stairs at all.

Coming!

Suddenly.

When the footsteps reached a certain place, Li Yi instinctively judged the other party's position.

That was the last step.

In the dark, a strange head poked out from the entrance of the stairs. It was not the head of a living person, but the head of a child. It's just that the child was very strange, wearing pale makeup, wearing a gray long gown, and wearing a round hat, like a little young master of a landlord's family. But this little young master was not a person, but a ghost, because his pair of eyes were hollow, without eyeballs, only two pitch-black eye sockets.

At this moment, the head was constantly turning, not looking at people, but listening to the movement around.

And as soon as this little ghost appeared, the temperature around seemed to drop by several degrees, and a cold aura began to circle around everyone.

Feeling this chill, Guo You and the other two messengers who were sleeping couldn't help but wake up. At first, they thought they were just a bit cold sleeping on the ground, but then they saw Li Yi standing in front of them, his pupils glowing and motionless, and their hearts tightened.

Something happened?

They didn't make a sound at the first time, but looked at Liu Qingqing.

With some light from the glass window, plus the fact that their eyes had already adapted to the dim environment, they could barely see some situations.

Liu Qingqing stretched out her hand to signal several people not to speak, and then pointed to a certain direction in the dark.

At this moment, several people were instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

There is no doubt.

The ghost is here!

And it is nearby.

This kind of chill is not that the weather is cold at night, but that the evil ghost has appeared, and the surrounding environment has been affected by supernatural power, making people's perception have an illusion.

But where is the ghost?

They looked forward with slight fear.

But in the dark environment, they couldn't see anything and couldn't lock onto the position of the evil ghost at all.

At this moment, only Li Yi could clearly see that ghost.

I don't know if it was because of excessive tension, but as the breathing of a messenger became heavier, the ghost standing at the entrance of the stairs shaking its head and swaying seemed to hear some movement, and suddenly twisted its neck, and a pair of pitch-black eye sockets looked towards this side.

Immediately afterwards, rapid footsteps sounded again.

That ghost actually crossed the steps, stepped on the stagnant water, and ran towards this side quickly.

As the sound of stepping on the stagnant water sounded.

At this moment, everyone's nerves were tightened.

They knew better than anyone that stagnant water was the last layer of warning for the steps. Crossing that layer of warning meant that the ghost had already come to the second floor.

"Attracted by the sound? Good, saving me from looking for it tomorrow." Li Yi held the cracked short stick at this moment. At this moment, he did not retreat but was ready to meet the attack.

After one strike, he might take this opportunity to deliver the letter and complete this letter delivery mission.
