N-A-A Chapter 16 Caesars Hotel
Chapter 16 Caesars Hotel
Sun Rui returned to his office.
"Why is this delivery mission to Dachang City again, with people covered in blood... Judging by the timing, the Starving Ghost Incident is about to break out. I hope nothing unexpected happens this time." Sun Rui looked out the window, feeling that this delivery mission was a bit strange.
He just couldn't figure out what was so strange about it.
Just as he was about to ask Zhou Wan to help him look up some information, his personal cell phone rang. It was Lin Zhensheng calling.
"The address I'm delivering this message to is the Caesars Hotel in ZS City," Lin Zhensheng said.
"Come to my office to talk."
Sun Rui knew this place, but didn't plan to discuss these things over the phone.
He then picked up the satellite phone and connected to the operator.
"Help me investigate the situation in Luoshan Village, Dachang City... including whether any paranormal events have occurred in the surrounding area."
"Okay, is there any other information that needs to be investigated?" Zhou Wan asked.
"That's it, send the message to my phone as soon as possible." Sun Rui hung up the phone decisively.
Lin Zhensheng arrived at his office soon.
"Tell me about the situation on the second floor," Sun Rui said.
"Just like you said, it really is a group mail delivery mission, and it's a red letter at that! The messenger on the second floor said that as long as this letter is successfully delivered, the survivors will be promoted to the third floor!" Lin Zhensheng said. "There are three messengers on the second floor besides me... I don't see anything strange about it."
"Three?" Sun Rui tapped his fingers on the table, which meant that a large number of messengers on the second floor had died in a short period of time.
"Yes, I heard from them that the last mission was also a group mission, which was extremely difficult and resulted in many deaths," Lin Zhensheng said.
"This delivery mission was to go to the fourth floor of the Caesar Hotel in ZS City. There were three requirements: first, check into the Caesar Hotel in ZS City before 10 pm tomorrow night; second, all messengers must rest on the fourth floor and stay for three days; and third, place the letter in the corridor on the fourth day... Unfortunately, I didn't get the letter."
After listening to everything Lin Zhensheng said, Sun Rui fell into deep thought. There was a supernatural passage on the fourth floor of the Caesar Hotel that connected to a supernatural place. As long as they didn't enter that supernatural passage, they would generally be fine. However, the fact that the Ghost Post Office delivered mail meant that a supernatural event would occur, which meant that ghosts would come out of that passage.
"First, be careful of the messengers on the second floor; there's a good chance something unclean has infiltrated your ranks. Second, don't delve too deeply into the Caesars Hotel investigation. That's all I can say," Sun Rui said.
"You...you mean those three people might be ghosts?" Lin Zhensheng asked, somewhat surprised.
"This is just a guess. What you do is up to you," Sun Rui said.
"Okay, thanks, I'll go get ready now."
After Lin Zhensheng left, he also began to prepare for his mission to deliver the message.
"I need to bring the love lock; I'll use it in a pinch. I also need to bring the pills to suppress the curse..."
Sun Rui put the items he was carrying into a body bag. To make things easier, he carried a bag with him this time. Just then, headquarters sent over the information they had gathered.
"The information indicates that this is just an ordinary mountain village... The only thing to be careful of is the blood pool next to the highway!" Sun Rui's eyes narrowed.
The report included high-resolution satellite images showing a pool of blood not too far from Luoshan Village.
"Yan Li died there. Is this incident related to the Ghost Blood?" Sun Rui muttered to himself.
"Before Yan Li died, he was afraid that his ghost blood would resurrect in the city, so he drove away from the city. But he didn't last long in the end, and the vengeful ghost resurrected and died by the highway." Sun Rui recalled carefully.
He remembered that something seemed to have crawled out of the blood pool, and since ghost blood could suppress vengeful spirits, the vengeful spirit that crawled out of the blood pool was no less terrifying.
"Things are starting to get complicated again," Sun Rui said, frowning.
After reading this information, Sun Rui drove alone to the delivery location. He had now suppressed the resurgence of the vengeful spirit, so he didn't have to worry about the vengeful spirit in his body going out of control while driving.
The report mentioned that Luoshan Village is located on the outskirts of Dachang City. Almost all the villagers have gone to work in the city, leaving very few people behind. No paranormal events have occurred recently.
"Maybe I'm just overthinking it," Sun Rui exhaled.
Around 3 p.m., Sun Rui arrived at a town not far from Luoshan Village. It wasn't that he didn't want to go forward, but the road leading to the village had been destroyed, forcing him to find another way to get there.
There are only two paths leading to Luoshan Village: the main road and the narrow paths, so he could only travel by motorcycle.
Just then, a middle-aged man stopped beside him on a motorcycle.
"Where are you going, young man? Want to ride a motorcycle?"
"How much does it cost to go to Luoshan Village?" Sun Rui asked.
The middle-aged man seemed terrified upon hearing the name Luoshan Village: "What are you going there for? I advise you not to go. If your family lives in Luoshan Village, you should tell them to leave immediately!"
Sun Rui frowned. Didn't the headquarters say that Luoshan Village was perfectly normal?
"Uncle, what happened in Luoshan Village? I've been studying away from home for a long time."
"Sigh... You'd better not ask anymore, just don't go." The middle-aged man hesitated before continuing.
At that moment, another motorcycle stopped beside them.
"Old Li, you're still using that same old kidding to fool people? Luoshan Village, huh? Young man, you can get there in half an hour in my car!" another middle-aged man smoking a cigarette teased.
"What do you know? I saw it with my own eyes!" The uncle called Old Li was a little angry.
"Then tell me what you saw. You've been acting strangely all day, but you won't tell me when I ask you."
Clearly, the two men are long-time motorcycle riders and know each other.
"I can't say it, I can't say it, or I'll be punished by heaven!" Old Li said angrily.
"Uncle, please tell me about it. My family is all in the village. If there's a real problem, I'll have to bring them out," Sun Rui said.
Old Li hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"They've already asked that, and you're still hiding it. Did you get caught going to the village to find someone's wife?" the man next to him chuckled.
Old Li's face darkened: "Get lost! I'll go find your wife!"
At this moment, Sun Rui handed him a few red bills: "This is a small token of my appreciation."
Old Li didn't take the money. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it slowly, and exhaled a puff of white smoke: "This is what happened. Around three or four o'clock today, I was still sleeping when a regular customer called me and said he wanted to go to Luoshan Village. I didn't want to answer at first, but he said he could pay extra because he had something urgent to do, so I thought about it and agreed."
"Then I picked him up at the intersection. Everything was normal until we got to the village. I was thinking of just dropping him off at the village entrance, but we ended up chatting and ended up driving straight into someone’s ancestral hall. We both fell down."
As he spoke, Old Li revealed his scraped elbow, the scab still fresh and the wound still red and swollen.
"After all that talk, you've destroyed someone's ancestral hall. I knew your car headlights were all crooked," the man next to him laughed.
"Hmph! The truly terrifying thing is yet to come!" Old Li glared at the man and continued, "In the ancestral hall of Luoshan Village, there is a stone statue. I couldn't tell what it was. Anyway, after the accident, my first thought was to help the passenger up. I was worried about how much money I would have to pay in compensation."
"But in such a short time, the person disappeared. I searched for a long time with a flashlight, but I couldn't find him. At that moment, fog rolled in, and I saw a blurry figure in the fog. I wanted to go up and see if it was the person I had picked up, but as soon as I got closer, the person was covered in blood."
"You can imagine the scene at that time. It was still dark, and a person covered in blood was walking in the village. There was fog, so you couldn't see anything at all. You could only walk forward."
After hearing this, Sun Rui figured the man was probably not lying to him. If a fabricated lie could match his mission, then his luck must be terrible.
Sun Rui was now wondering if the blood-covered figure had crawled out of the blood pool.
