Thriller Paradise Chapter 704: The Ghost Postman (3)


Although the roads in the town are paved with stones and sand, they are generally flat. For Jue, who wears sports shoes, walking on this kind of road does not require much physical effort.

However, distance exists objectively, and Jue Ge’s speculation of "reducing physical energy according to the character's body sense" is correct, so he still has to allocate physical energy reasonably to avoid unnecessary waste.

"Well... the actual distance is farther than expected..." Feng Bujue walked for nearly 20 minutes, but still did not reach the town square, which made him have to speed up his pace. There is no personal picture, and all the shops along the street are closed..." He couldn't help thinking, "This...isn't it a'ghost town'..."

Hey hey hey hey hey hey......

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a regular buzzing sound from the thick fog in front of him.

And the voice approached at a very fast speed from far to near.

"What is it?" Brother Jue stopped alertly when he heard the sound. Without thinking, he put his right hand into his pocket and grabbed the phone, ready to face the monster.

Hey hey hey... the voice is getting closer, but there is still no one in sight.

Dingling Bell----

Suddenly, a few crisp ringing sounds came into Brother Jue's ears, and the direction of the sound was the same as the sound of "Bhhhhhhh".

"Huh?" At this moment, Feng Bujue seemed to have discovered something.

He moved his gaze down and looked at the ground. Two seconds later, he raised his eyes and said, "I'm going...it's really a bicycle..."

Dingling Bell----

Before the voice fell, the ringtone rang again. This time the voice got closer, almost approaching him.

Brother Jue's reaction was also timely, and he immediately flashed to the side. Jumped a few steps away.

Then he saw a trace of a bicycle tire, "passing by" from where he was just standing.

"What kind of trouble..." Feng Bujue turned his head and looked at the air, and said in a deep voice, "Invisible?"

Out of the instinct of a detective (well. I know he is a reasoning writer), he immediately took a few steps forward, squatted down to check the wheel prints, and muttered to himself: "The patterns on the tire prints are all It has been smoothed, and it can be seen that it has been used for a long time... Judging from the depth of the tire marks and the sound of the car, it should be an old-fashioned metal bicycle with a chain. There is also a heavy person on it... um... ...Or a ghost..." He stroked his lower lip lightly, and muttered, "The sound of the chain rolling sounds very smooth, and the other parts of the car body are silent. This shows that...Although the car is often used. It is well maintained. Very good."

"Ah!" Thinking about it, Feng Bujue suddenly patted his forehead, "I was addicted to playing without knowing it..." He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Cut... Can't keep up."

According to the voice of the self-proclaimed postmaster in the opening cg, the player needs to arrive at "his" office before "Nine o'clock in the morning". And at this time, it was already 8:52...Je Ge hadn't even seen the shadow of the post office yet.

"Sure enough, do I still have to run..." He quickly stood up, and Sa Yazi ran away. Anyway, there is no one on the street and no vehicles. Except for the "invisible bike" he encountered just now, he was not afraid of hitting anything.

"Speaking of...the current main mission [to be recognized by the ghost postman and become the new postman in Otaku Town]...there is no requirement for ‘time’." Feng Bujue ran. He said, "It's just that the'postmaster' made me arrive before nine o'clock... In other words, even if I arrive after nine o'clock, the main mission may not fail. It's just that... the next plot and script The difficulty may change due to this."

The more thoroughly he thinks, the more he feels... it's better not to be late.

…………

Four minutes later...

"Finally here..." After a long run. A round square appeared in front of Feng Bujue's eyes.

The pavement of "Otaku Square" is paved with cement, and only a small part of the area is made of stone bricks; there is a simple fountain in the center of the square. But... the water in the fountain has dried up; the buildings surrounding the square are relatively tall and most of them are public facilities. Such as police station, fire station, hospital, etc.

Je Ge ran non-stop to the north side (he could still find the north), and soon saw the sign of the post office.

"Two floors, covering an area of ​​about 300 square meters..." Feng Bujue thought when he rushed to the gate of the post office, "The worst possible thing is...there is no floor plan and no one for me to ask. Road...I have to find the location of the director's office by myself within three minutes."

Thinking of this, he has pushed open the thick glass door in front of him.

"Very good..." Brother Jue said as soon as he entered the door. Because he found...The first floor of this post office is a lobby, except for the service desk on the right side of the entrance, there is only a row of windows for various businesses.

"Are there..." His gaze swept quickly, and he instantly stopped at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor. There is a sign standing next to the stairs, which says [Office area, no idlers are allowed to enter], which can be regarded as a relatively obvious reminder.

As he ran to the stairs, Feng Bujue took the time to look at the time again.

[8:58]

"Lounge, security room, finance room, toilet..." Feng Bujue went on the second floor and ran all the way, and finally, at 8:59:40, he came to the last room at the end of the corridor. In front of the door, "Secretary's Office..." he said, looking at the sign on the door, and then looking down at the watch, "Hoo... there are ten seconds left... it's dangerous."

Boom boom boom——

While looking at the watch, his left hand was already knocking on the door.

"Please come in." The voice coming from the door was exactly the same as the narration in the opening cg.

Feng Bujue took a breath, wiped his sweat, and then held the doorknob and pushed open the door in front of him.

The furnishings in the house are very ordinary. In addition to office desks and chairs, there are several file cabinets, a glass cabinet, two bonsai, and two flags. Brother Jue could recognize that the star-striped side was the American flag, but he didn't know what the other side was...but. Generally speaking, it should be the town flag of the small town or the state flag of its state.

"I have to say...you left a very bad impression on me from the beginning, Mr. Dave." Before I waited for Brother Jue to speak, the man sitting behind the desk said something very bad. Bad lines.

It was an old man in a plaid suit with round eyes with black frames. He seems to be over sixty years old, but his eyes are still piercing. The back is also straight.

"Do you have any comments on my dress or hairstyle? Sir." Feng Bujue is naturally not the kind of person who is at a loss when encountering emergencies. After hearing the inexplicable criticism from the other party, he calmly Asked a question and closed the door behind him.

"No, I am very tolerant of the appearance of employees." The chief replied, "I only have one requirement...that is ‘punctuality’." When it came to the last two words. He emphasized his tone specially.

"The moment I knocked on your door was 8.59 minutes and 45 seconds." Feng Bujue met the opponent's gaze without fear, and replied, "This is not beyond what you specified. Time?"

"So that's it..." the director said, raising his hand. Showed his hand to Brother Jue, "Your watch is three minutes slower."

"Huh?" Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly, "No..." He then took out the phone in his pocket and pressed it, "That's right... My watch and phone have the same time. It's all..."

"...It was three minutes slower." The director interrupted Brother Jue.

"Uh..." Feng Bujue raised his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him, "Is it possible. It's the director of your watch..."

"Impossible." The director directly denied his hypothesis before Jue Ge said, "It's almost three minutes."

"Okay." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue's expression was straightened. "I was wrong."

Brother Jue is also a sensible person. He knows that in some cases, facts are not important, but attitude is important.

The leader is the leader, even if he doesn't know it. Or refer to a deer as a horse, and you should try not to correct or contradict him. Otherwise...you are asking yourself for being bored. Of course, the kind of good leader who "promotes you because you prevented him from coming to Taiwan"... also exists. If you feel that you are lucky enough to meet, you might as well give it a try. Don’t blame me if you are completely dead...

"No, you are right."

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Mr. Secretary's attitude turned around 180 degrees.

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was really taken aback now.

"My watch is indeed almost three minutes fast, and I know this." The director continued, "The reason why I wronged you is to see... In the face of pressure, you will compromise with power or stick to the truth. ."

"You don't have to rise to this height..." Feng Bujue glared at him, looking at the other person and replied, "Just treat me as respecting the elderly... can I make you do it?"

"Do you think I'm very old?" Following the words of Brother Jue, the director threw another difficult question to answer.

"Yes." Feng Bujue replied bluntly. Since the other party wants to listen to the truth, he will tell the truth to the end. It is another matter whether it is difficult to say it. "I think if I am serious and You argue, you are likely to die suddenly, so I admit it wrong."

"Very good!" The chief patted the table and stood up.

His move... made Feng Bujue instinctively take a half step back. For a moment, Brother Jue felt that the old man wanted to turn over the table and beat himself.

"Get to know me officially." The director straightened his waist and stretched out his right hand forward, "I am the director of the Otaku Town Post Office, Norman Nelson."

"Um...Hello, Mr. Nelson." Feng Bujue hesitated for half a second, and stretched out his hand.

"Call me Norman, thank you." At this moment, Nelson's face showed a kind smile.

"It's nice to meet you, Norman." Feng Bujue replied with a smile.

Although there is a sense of harmony on the surface, Geo did not stop observing and analyzing this man: "A man who is very good at using language and demeanor, he is bold when he is serious, he is also very contagious when he is kind, and he is powerful when shaking hands. Bigger than me... well... are typical politician characteristics." His gaze moved on the opponent, "The collar, cuffs and hands all show that he had a military background." The longer he watched. , The more you know, "The meticulous hair and the well-trimmed beard shows that he cares about his appearance; the third button of his jacket has been patched, and the elbows have been patched, which shows that he is a thrifty man. People; there are traces of a ring on the left ring finger, but there is no more...Is it divorced? Or a widower?"

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind, and it took only a few seconds.

After the two shook hands, Nelson said again, "Mr. Dave, as you can see, I like straightforward people." When he spoke, he sat down again and raised his hand to signal that Brother Jue sits at the desk. On a chair on the other side, "With me, you don't have to worry about offending people by talking, let alone your appearance..." He paused, "You only need to remember two words... First, Shou Time, second, firm."

"Sounds...I have passed the interview?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.

"Heh...pass? Hahaha..." Nelson smiled, "It's not far from here, Mr. Dave." He said, opening a drawer in front of him and taking out a stack of envelopes. "The philosophy of our bureau is-practice is the only criterion for testing employees."

"This sounds familiar..." Feng Bujue vomited in a low voice.

Nelson ignored him~IndoMTL.com~ and then said, "Whether you can be officially hired by our bureau depends on your performance today." He pushed the stack of envelopes in front of Brother Jue, and said, "This is Your task today."

[The branch mission has been triggered] As soon as Nelson's voice fell, the system voice rang.

Feng Bujue immediately opened the game menu, scanned the taskbar, and saw the new task [Send all letters before midnight, current progress 0/13].

"Since it's a branch line, it means you can do it without doing it..." Brother Jue said in his heart, "Simply put, there will be extra rewards if you send it out before midnight. If you don't send it out... it won't lead to clearance. Failed."

"This is the map of Otaku Town." After a few seconds, Nelson took out a 20*40 puzzle map from the drawer and put it on the table. "And... the work manual One." He took out another booklet that was not too thick, "and...your bicycle key." This should be the last thing, because he closed the drawer after taking it out. "Going out from the back door is the carport, and the bag with the envelope is in the pocket of the bicycle. Since you are not a formal employee of our bureau, so... today you can only wear casual clothes to deliver letters." He paused for two seconds and watched. Jue brother's face said, "Is there any problem? Mr. Dave." (to be continued)
