Mysterious Letter

"The question now is how we survive these next four minutes."

Feeling the frequency of the water drops and the material of his school uniform, Wang Ye frowned slightly.

As someone who had died once, he didn't fear death.

But that didn't mean he courted it. If there was a chance to live, he would still do everything in his power.

"Take off their jackets?"

Zhang Kai hesitated, then pointed at the dried corpses on the ground and asked.

"Foolish!"

Doing something like that now would be no different than asking for death.

As long as a hand reached outside, who knew if a water drop would happen to fall? Moreover, the clothes on the floor were already soaked by the water drops and had lost their effectiveness.

If only there was an umbrella...

According to Wang Ye's estimation, his school uniform could only last for another two minutes before it was completely soaked. The moment the clothes were soaked, it would signify the arrival of death.

"Zhang Kai, stand with me and wear one jacket."

"When my jacket reaches its limit, use yours."

Zhang Kai was stunned for a moment. After understanding Wang Ye's intention, his eyes lit up instantly. He moved closer to Wang Ye, protecting his own jacket from getting wet.

The two men huddled tightly together under a small school uniform.

The entire fourth floor was eerily quiet, with only the sound of dripping water.

The sound of the water drops grew louder and more frequent, almost like a light rain.

This meant more people had died.

As time ticked by, Wang Ye felt the changing weight of his jacket and said silently, "Take off the jacket."

Zhang Kai decisively held up his jacket, while Wang Ye discarded the one in his hands.

A perfect handover.

"Ten."

'Nine.'

"Eight."

"."

"One."

"Begin!"

Wang Ye closed his eyes, rhythmically tapping his index finger on his arm, counting the time.

Suddenly, Wang Ye's eyes snapped open.

At that instant, Zhang Kai, who had been waiting anxiously, had his eyes flash with a strange green radiance as he stared intently at the phantom standing behind the principal's corpse.

A green beam of light shot from Zhang Kai's eyes, connecting to the phantom.

Instantly, the sound of dripping water vanished.

The phantom froze in place.

"Did it work?"

Wang Ye cautiously held his jacket, not releasing it easily, and carefully observed his surroundings.

Fortunately, everything seemed normal.

"Now, we can only hope your teammates don't arrive late."

Wang Ye silently threw away his almost soaked jacket, speaking coldly.

As for re-imprisoning the ghost in its container, that was not something an ordinary person like him could do.

It could be said that now, Wang Ye, and indeed the lives of all the survivors in the building, rested entirely on Zhang Kai's teammates.

This was because what Zhang Kai could do was only deterrence, not sealing.

Although the water drops had stopped falling, the ghost domain still existed, and they couldn't escape this teaching building.

Wang Ye looked at Zhang Kai's current ability suppression with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

A five-minute deterrence, although partly due to the ghost's weak magnetic field and even its lack of inherent mobility, was still a very formidable skill. It was no wonder the Crimson Ghost Hunt Squad had advanced to an A-Class squad in his previous life.

What a pity...

The more powerful the skill, the higher the price to use it, and the faster the user died.

This was humanity's greatest flaw.

As expected, as time passed, Zhang Kai's face grew paler and paler.

By the four-minute mark, blood was even flowing from Zhang Kai's eye sockets.

Zhang Kai's figure began to tremble.

Even the ceiling became damp again.

Wang Ye frowned slightly. Was Zhang Kai's deterrence reaching its limit?

Given Zhang Kai's current condition, even if this incident could be resolved, he likely wouldn't have more than a few months left to live.

But this was the price ability users had to pay.

They enjoyed the most privileged treatment and richest resources in normal times, but when danger arose, they were also the ones who had to risk their lives.

Fortunately...

The glass of the principal's office suddenly shattered.

A figure leaped in through the window.

"Zhang Kai, are you alright!"

A middle-aged man with a pair of fleshy wings growing from his back looked at Zhang Kai and asked with a slight frown.

At that moment, Wang Ye quietly retreated, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

He knew that this supernatural event should be resolved now. He didn't want to get involved in the subsequent cleanup.

After all, in the end, he was just an ordinary person.

When encountering supernatural events, ordinary people only needed to do their own part.

In his previous life, as the only ordinary person in an A-Class Squad, he often went to various schools or places where ordinary people gathered, educating them on what to do when encountering supernatural events.

But unfortunately...

There were many ordinary people, but Wang Ye was only one.

Some even said that if Wang Ye had an ability, even if only one part of his body awakened, he would become a top-tier existence.

As expected, when Wang Ye reached the first floor, the ghost domain had already disappeared.

Countless investigators entered the teaching building to rescue survivors and carry out post-incident work.

And Wang Ye gradually vanished into the crowd.

Walking on the road home, Wang Ye frowned slightly. In his previous life, at this time, he was still studying in Yong'an City.

He had transferred to Shangjing City to test whether he could change the future trajectory of his previous life after his rebirth. He hadn't expected to encounter a supernatural event right after transferring.

But in his previous life, he didn't seem to have heard of Shangjing City experiencing supernatural problems at this time.

After all, Shangjing City was already considered the safest city currently, with the headquarters of countless ghost hunting squads located there.

Was it that the information he obtained in his previous life was too limited, or had the future also changed accordingly with his own changes in this life?

All of this left Wang Ye feeling a bit lost.

Unknowingly, Wang Ye returned to his new home.

After his parents passed away, they left Wang Ye a considerable fortune.

Opening the door, Wang Ye froze in place, his pupils constricting.

Even the supernatural event that had just occurred at school hadn't affected his emotions too much.

In the living room of Wang Ye's new home, a half-real, half-phantom door had inexplicably appeared.

Supernatural event?

Wang Ye's mind immediately reacted.

But then, the door opened.

Following that, a suction force pulled Wang Ye into the door uncontrollably.

A flash of white light.

Wang Ye slowly opened his eyes, which were still adjusting to the light, and immediately surveyed his surroundings.

This layout...

It was a post office!

The post office was empty. All the items and the environment flickered slightly, appearing to be in a state between semi-real and semi-phantom.

And Wang Ye was currently standing in front of the counter desk in the post office.

On the desk, an old envelope, seemingly stained with blood, lay quietly.

Next to the envelope was a note.

"Address: Suburban Cemetery, Tomb Marker #3."

"Light the envelope in front of the tombstone."

"Reward: Ghost Messenger Rope."

"Deadline: Three days."
