Chapter 359 - 252 The Footsteps on the Ceiling
The group slipped into the museum and without hesitation immediately headed toward the second floor via the stairs. Li Yi had confirmed earlier that there were no anomalies on the second floor—it was relatively safe and could serve as a temporary rest area. Although Li Yi, as an Evolver, didn’t need such precautions, most of the other Messengers were ordinary people.
"No wonder the second floor is safer. It turns out there are the fewest exhibits stored here." Guo You was scanning the surroundings at this moment.
Although there were some odd and curious things on the second floor, their number was much fewer than on the first floor, and most of the area was empty. Clearly, the museum owner Fang Hua had not had time to arrange and display some items.
Li Yi walked over to an open area near a window and said, "Put everything here, then we’ll start exploring from the second floor. Although it’s unlikely that ghosts are present on the second floor, if we want to successfully deliver the message, we can’t overlook any suspicious places. Moreover, the danger level of this third letter is definitely not low. It’s always right to be cautious."
The group nodded, feeling that there were no problems with this plan. They set down their backpacks and began to investigate the second floor.
"This messenger task did not specify the ghost’s identity and location, which means that in this museum, the ghost could appear anywhere. Most importantly, we are currently unclear about that ghost’s killing patterns." At this time, Liu Qingqing approached and asked, "If a ghost suddenly attacks you, how confident are you that you can survive?"
"That depends on how the ghost kills. If it appears right in front of me, it’s almost impossible for me to be killed," Li Yi said, gripping an old, cracked short stick in his hand. With an Evolver’s reflexes, it was impossible for a ghost to get close enough to kill him in a sneak attack.
"You’re quite confident," Liu Qingqing said. "However, I suggest that if a ghost does appear, you should seek my help immediately. I can block the ghost’s attack for you while you take the opportunity to send out the letter. With your skills, this shouldn’t be difficult to achieve."
"Not a bad strategy. But aren’t you afraid of being killed by the ghost?" Li Yi looked at her.
"I do have a chance of surviving," Liu Qingqing said earnestly.
Li Yi nodded, "All right, I understand."
