Chapter 260: The Withdrawal Plan

"Since you agreed to the deal, give me the card number. I will have the accountant transfer the money to you." This newcomer messenger named Yang Jian was also decisive. Seeing Li Yi agree to the deal, he immediately prepared to transfer the money, leaving him no room to continue bargaining.

Li Yi, however, smiled at this moment: "I am a practical person; money first, work later."

"My friend, do you think a normal person would carry millions around every day? There is no signal in the Ghost Post Office now, so we can only transfer the money to you afterward." Another man spoke up. His name was Li Yang, also a newcomer, but the supernatural aura on him was also very heavy, clearly also a Ghost Controller.

"That's true."

Li Yi touched his chin, wondering, if these two Ghost Controllers joined forces, would he be their match?

Although they possessed supernatural power, their reactions were too poor. At such a close distance, how many punches could he throw in an instant? Could he blast them both into slag?

He probably could.

They were just Ghost Controllers; it wasn't as if he hadn't killed them before.

But he continued: "Prisoners of the earth are born evil, have no credibility, and their words are like farts. A business of millions, just based on your word? To be honest, it's hard for me to believe. There are no legal constraints here, and we can't sign a contract. If you want to default on the debt, you can; I can't exactly take you to court."

"How about this, I'll take a loss and give you a sheet of letter paper for free. When you go out, transfer the money, and then ask me for the other letter paper."

The man named Yang Jian in front of him seemed to be getting impatient. He took out a golden pistol from his body and threw it over: "You are really long-winded. Take this thing as a down payment."

It wasn't that Li Yi hadn't touched a gun; he had undergone shooting training when he joined the Investigation Bureau. It was just that the weight of this gun was very wrong; it was heavy and pressed on his hand. He played with it skillfully and ejected the magazine; it was also golden inside. This thing was actually made entirely of gold.

"One bullet inside is worth 100,000 at market price. The magazine alone is worth two million. I'll take a loss, and consider the excess as my gift," Yang Jian said calmly.

Li Yi touched the smooth, cold gun body, his pupils moving: "The rise of gold has indeed been very fierce recently. Some people say that supernatural power can affect all matter, but it cannot affect gold. If one could build a safe house with gold, it could isolate supernatural intrusion. It's a pity that I am relatively poor and can't afford so much gold to build a safe house."

"It's just that using gold to make firearms is something I didn't expect. Since gold can isolate supernatural power, does that mean this thing can hit a ghost?"

He understood the significance of golden weapons in an instant.

It seemed Ghost Controllers were different; having dealt with ghosts for a long time, they had developed a set of tools unique to them.

"Theoretically, that is correct," Yang Jian said.

Theoretically?

Li Yi smiled suddenly: "That's true. Even if it hits a ghost, I estimate it can't kill it, only play a slight obstructive role. This thing is more used to deal with people, to deal with messengers who possess some supernatural power. Ghosts can't be killed, but people can. It seems you are a professional Ghost Controller."

"However, giving such a weapon to me, aren't you worried that I'll use it to deal with you?"

"You can try. Perhaps the moment you point the gun at me, you will already be dead," Yang Jian said.

Li Yi's gaze flickered. Sure enough, this person was extraordinary. It seemed there were levels to Ghost Controllers, and this person probably had reached the point of being immune to firearm damage.

So, normal physical means couldn't deal with this Ghost Controller.

If he really made a move, he feared he would have to use that cracked short club and give this person a muffled blow to have a chance of winning; relying only on fist energy, he feared it would be easy to flip the car.

However, he seemed to have no conflict with these people in front of him, so there was no reason to make a move.

Since these people were as anxious to deliver letters as Liu Qingqing, let them get tangled up together, and he would take the opportunity to withdraw and leave.

Moreover, with such Ghost Controllers as teammates, he believed Liu Qingqing could successfully complete the delivery mission and leave the Ghost Post Office. If lucky, perhaps Guo You could also survive. After all, there weren't many acquaintances he knew left in this world. As someone who had known them, Li Yi still hoped they could successfully shake off the Ghost Post Office curse after he left.

"Here is the letter paper." Li Yi handed over a stack of black letter paper: "When using it, remember to rub the letter paper into a strip; otherwise, it will burn too fast, and the Ghost Post Office path won't appear before it burns out. Then you will have to waste a second sheet of letter paper. This method of use is something I figured out; consider it a little reminder for free."

After speaking, he even demonstrated it, reaching out to rub a sheet of letter paper into a long strip, like incense for the dead.

Afterward, Li Yi told these newcomers some information about the post office. After all, the other party had paid, so there was no need for him to hide anything. Moreover, this delivery was a group letter. If they could successfully deliver this letter, they could also take Liu Qingqing and Guo You to the fourth floor for free.

As for what happened later... Li Yi couldn't manage that much.

At this time, Liu Qingqing and Guo You in Room 34 also heard the movement outside and immediately walked out.

But Liu Qingqing's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the two Ghost Controllers. Li Yi even captured the hostility they revealed.

Is this how strange Ghost Controllers meet?

Li Yi didn't want to see Liu Qingqing fight with these people, so he immediately said: "Don't be nervous, they are my teammates, Guo You, Liu Qingqing."

Hearing this, although the hostility of the two people decreased a lot, they were still vigilant and kept looking at Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing frowned at this moment. She really didn't like the other party's eyes. A mere newcomer, without any manners, and what kind of look was that? Looking at some rare animal? And why were they interested in her high heels? These two were both Ghost Controllers; logically, they shouldn't have such hobbies.

At this time, Yang Jian looked at Li Yi and said: "You just said this is a group letter. This should be the group letter in your Room 34, right? It shouldn't be our delivery mission. We just came up from the second floor; there's no reason for a delivery mission to appear so coincidentally."

"You want to go upstairs, and my companions also want to go upstairs. This is our third letter. After delivering this letter, we can go directly to the fourth floor. For you, this is a win-win good thing. As for whose mission it is, that's unimportant. And I can make the decision to hand this letter to you, and you lead this delivery mission, how about it?" Li Yi said.

Before leaving, he wanted to find a new partner for Liu Qingqing and Guo You.

These two people in front of him should be worth considering.

"Li Yi, I don't think handing over the third letter to others is a correct choice. If we give the letter to him, we might have to deliver three more letters on this floor before we can go to the fourth floor. If we take this mission this time, then as long as we succeed, we will be fourth-floor messengers. We are only one step away from the fifth floor to leave here," Guo You objected at this moment.

Compared to this stranger named Yang Jian, he trusted Li Yi's ability more.

Li Yi didn't speak; he had his reasons, but he couldn't say them.

After all, he was about to cross the boundary and leave, so some of his current actions were naturally not understood.

Liu Qingqing said: "Let's see the situation first. No one can say for sure what the third letter looks like."

"Liu Qingqing, I think the three of us have the ability to go to the fourth floor; we shouldn't give up the opportunity," Guo You said anxiously.

Li Yi walked over and whispered: "If you want to survive, you must find new teammates. My ability has reached its limit on this third floor. These people in front of you have the same goal as you, which is to go to the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office. You can borrow their power to achieve your purpose."

"Also, my time is up; I should go. Actually, you should have guessed a little from our time together that I am not a person of this world."

"This world doesn't have people with your skills," Liu Qingqing looked at him deeply. Actually, she had guessed it in her heart long ago, but she didn't want to point it out.

Li Yi continued: "I obtained a puppet doll when I was at the collection hall before. If I carve my name on it, it will become a new me, just like that hall master named Fang Hua... I won't participate in this delivery mission; I will use this puppet doll to replace me for a period of time."

"We've been teammates. Liu Qingqing, find an opportunity during this delivery mission to kill my substitute and erase my traces from this world."

Liu Qingqing was shocked. Li Yi had actually thought of such a withdrawal plan.

"If you are just leaving, there's no need to use that substitute, right?" she asked afterward.

"I am also taking precautions. If I don't participate in this delivery mission, what if the Ghost Post Office curse finds me? I don't dare to gamble. And this thing is useless to me now. If I don't use it now, when will I use it?" Li Yi said.

Although the puppet doll was miraculous, it couldn't inherit the user's strength; it was just a puppet that inherited memories.

Using it now was only to ensure he could cross the boundary and leave, not wanting any accidents.

"I understand." Liu Qingqing nodded and then said: "If you can take this opportunity to shake off the curse, this might not be a bad thing."

She appreciated Li Yi; the two had cooperated many times, surviving along the way by helping and benefiting each other.

She didn't want Li Yi to die, so it was a relatively happy thing that Li Yi had such a special method to shake off the curse.

"Then when do you plan to act?" Liu Qingqing said.

"Now." Li Yi's gaze shifted, looking at the others.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was still discussing other things, he quietly withdrew and returned to the room. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
