LRAB Chapter 3 Liu Qi
Chapter 3 Liu Qi
"Dachang City?" Sun Rui's expression changed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
"The one who received the letter must be a ghost! This cursed place is definitely trying to kill us!" A female office worker in business attire grabbed her hair, looking somewhat frantic, and even tried to tear the letter to shreds.
Sun Rui kicked the woman aside, and she calmed down a little after feeling the sharp pain in her abdomen.
"Her name is Liu Mei. She delivered a letter and somehow survived. Now she's almost insane. She meant no harm."
A middle-aged man in his forties standing nearby sighed with emotion.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Zhensheng. This is my third delivery mission. You don't look like a newbie. Do you know anything about this?" Lin Zhensheng said as he stepped forward.
"You'd better survive this first. I've received the letter. Those who want to participate in the mission should go to the address on the mission page. Of course, you can also choose to wait at home for me to complete the mission," Sun Rui said expressionlessly.
"Why should we? What if you lose the letter? Wouldn't that kill everyone? I suggest we give the letter to Lin Zhensheng. He's delivered two letters before and has experience. Why should we give it to a newbie like you?" the man in room 12 shouted, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Is this what you meant?" Sun Rui glanced at Lin Zhensheng, his gaze as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Not entirely, but we can make a deal. You reveal some information, and I'll take the letter with me. Isn't that fair?" Lin Zhensheng put his right hand in his pocket.
"A gun?" Sun Rui's lips curled into a smile.
"You have ten seconds to get out of the way or... die!" Sun Rui put the letter into a body bag and walked directly towards the post office door.
Lin Zhensheng watched Sun Rui approach the gate, cold sweat beading on his face. The gun he was holding seemed to have lost its power. At this moment, he felt as if he were being watched by a vengeful ghost, and that if he made a move, he would die the next moment.
He ultimately chose not to take action, and everyone could only watch as Sun Rui walked out of the Ghost Post Office.
A winding path appears in the offices on the top floor of the Donghan Building.
Sun Rui carried the body bag down from upstairs.
"The delivery must succeed; I can't afford the consequences of failure or tearing up the letter." He sat in his office chair and dialed the operator's number.
"Zhou Wan, help me investigate the population information of Shuanggui Village in Dachang City. My assistant will send you some photos in a bit. Also, please help me investigate the identities of these people. This matter involves paranormal events, and I need the results by today."
Sun Rui didn't just kill people at the Ghost Post Office before; his satellite phone recorded everyone's facial information, and his identity could be found out with a simple check using the headquarters' system.
"Okay, your request has been recorded, and the result should be available before noon." Zhou Wan's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of angering the ghost tamer on the other end of the phone.
"Just send it to my satellite phone when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Rui began making preparations. It would be best not to use supernatural powers; they should only be used when it was absolutely necessary to confront the vengeful spirit head-on.
Headquarters Communications Room.
Zhou Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She was lucky. Sun Rui was perfectly normal, unlike the operator next to her, who would yell at the ghost tamer to kill her whole family every time they talked.
At this moment, Zhao Jianguo walked over.
"What's the situation in Zhou Wan's city of Dahan?"
"Reporting to the captain, it seems that Sun Rui is investigating paranormal events," Zhou Wan replied truthfully, handing the notebook containing the communications to Zhao Jianguo.
"Expedite this matter and try to get results as soon as possible. I will have someone else assist you." Zhao Jianguo frowned when he saw the words "Dachang City". This is what caused the knocking ghost incident and the Huanggang Village incident. Is things going to be unstable again?
The information provided by Sun Rui was urgently transmitted to the information department.
Meanwhile, Sun Rui was ready. Downstairs in the building, a Maybach S600 was waiting for him, driven by his assistant, Wang Guohai.
Sun Rui got into the car carrying a gold body bag. He had prepared everything he needed to bring. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any posts about the Thunder King online. They must have been deleted by headquarters. Otherwise, he could have asked "Qian Wanhao's grandfather" for help.
The vehicle started and headed towards Dachang City. Sun Rui rested in the car and slept for an hour, which was rare for him, until the satellite phone rang.
It was Zhou Wan who sent over the information about those people and the Shuanggui Village.
"Double Track Village... got its name from the two railway tracks that passed through there more than 80 years ago... during the construction of the railway, there were rumors that it was haunted, and construction had to be stopped. No paranormal events have occurred in recent years..." Sun Rui looked carefully at the information on his phone, afraid of missing any word.
The information also includes population data for Shuanggui Village, totaling 72 people, more than half of whom are surnamed Liu.
A densely packed list of people is attached below this message.
To confirm his suspicions, Sun Rui quickly scanned the names and finally spotted a familiar one.
"Liu Qi! It really is him, Yang Jian's classmate!" Sun Rui frowned. The address of the letter this time should be the funeral hall where Liu Qi's grandparents passed away. He remembered that the two of them had experienced a supernatural event in their early years and were tainted by a curse, but they did not know it. After they died, they turned into vengeful ghosts and began to roam the village and kill people. In the end, the two of them held hands to resolve the matter. However, there was a lot of missing information about this matter.
Liu Qi is the only survivor of this incident.
"Having a goal is much better; at least I don't have to wander around like a headless fly." Sun Rui went through the rest of the messages.
The messenger on the first floor had information on Lin Zhensheng, but not on anyone else. The information was very detailed, including details about their family situation.
After silently matching each person's information with their face, Sun Rui began to adjust his mindset; a tough battle was about to begin.
Around 3 p.m., the car came to a steady stop next to the road sign that read "Shuanggui Village". The village could be seen in the distance. Sun Rui did not let Wang Guohai drive in. An ordinary person would most likely be a hindrance if they went in. It was better to have him wait outside to provide support.
"Drive further away, and don't enter the village with any messages you receive, even if they are mine."
"Okay, boss!"
After getting off the bus, Sun Rui carried the body bag and headed towards the village. He said he was just in case that he would shoot Wang Guohai if he encountered him in the village.
"Dealing with vengeful ghosts is really not easy!" Sun Rui smiled bitterly, wondering if he could survive this time.
After walking for about five minutes, he finally arrived at the entrance of Shuanggui Village.
Before me lay a field, though nothing had been planted yet. Following the road sign at the village entrance, I could see smoke rising from the chimneys of several houses.
"As of now, there are no signs of anything supernatural here." Sun Rui stroked his chin.
"Young man, who are you? What are you doing standing at my door?" a middle-aged woman shouted from the side.
"I'm Liu Qi's classmate. I heard he's on vacation and I wanted to come visit him. Auntie, do you know where he lives? I only know he lives in Shuanggui Village," Sun Rui said without batting an eye.
"You've come at the wrong time. Their grandparents just passed away. If you're looking for them, just walk along the road for a little while and you'll see their house." The middle-aged woman pointed in a direction, indicating that Sun Rui shouldn't block her doorway.
Sun Rui followed the direction and found Liu Qi's hometown, but their mourning hall was not yet set up.
"I don't know if my identity will be useful." Sun Rui saw Liu Qi dressed in mourning clothes, his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried.
