Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Having understood these things, Chen Mu knew that when the [Death Postman] was completed, Hong Wenli's role in the strange BOSS had been fulfilled.

The fact that the player was able to deliver the message means they must have figured out Hong Wenli's identity.

Chen Mu wasn't sure whether other strange bosses would cause Hong Wenli to disappear.

However, given that such a meticulous and skilled boss is adept at dealing with expert players, the best design would be to make Hong Wenli disappear and no longer participate in the subsequent bizarre missions, in accordance with his style.

This is why Chen Mu waved goodbye to Hong Wenli.

Because Chen Mu not only understood Hong Wenli, but also understood the thoughts of the unseen BOSS behind Hong Wenli.

In contrast, Hong Wenli knew nothing about himself.

Chen Mu understands Hong Wenli better than Hong Wenli understands himself.

If the eerie BOSS knew this, he would probably only sigh helplessly.

Xiaoye listened to her boss's explanation and immediately understood.

However, a sense of loss welled up in Xiaoye's heart immediately afterward.

When Xiaoye was doing the postman task earlier, she followed Chen Mu's train of thought with his guidance and even received his praise.

At that time, Xiaoye felt that she had learned a lot from following her boss for so long, and even secretly began to follow in her boss's footsteps.

Xiaoye was quite excited inside, but she didn't show it.

However, Chen Mu simply said a few words less and did not offer any timely guidance.

In just a short while, Xiao Ye discovered that, like Hong Wenli, he was completely unable to keep up with his boss's pace.

It was only then that Xiaoye realized that the reason she was able to keep up before was mainly due to her boss's guidance, in addition to her faster thinking than Hongwen.

There is still a huge gap between me and the boss!

Noticing Xiaoye's disappointment, Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him:

"Don't overthink it. Everyone has their strengths. You excel at fighting and execution, so make the most of your strengths and don't worry about anything else."

Xiaoye nodded.

Chen Mu waved to him, signaling him to follow in his footsteps.

Led by Chen Mu, the two walked towards the dilapidated mailbox.

Everything was as usual; the mailbox stood there quietly, its exterior covered in mottled rust.

However, when Chen Mu looked through the crack, he discovered that the last letter inside had disappeared.

Xiaoye said with some regret, "Boss, if we had known that we would deliver the last letter, we might have been able to see the exact same two of us."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Ever since I found out that Hong Wenli is an NPC..."

Seeing Hong Wenli looking exactly like him in the zombie apocalypse made me realize that the zombie apocalypse wasn't a real world at all, but just a bizarre scene.

Seeing two identical versions of ourselves in a non-real world is just like seeing two NPCs; it's pointless.

Chen Mu saw through Hong Wenli's identity and the reality of the zombie apocalypse.

"Let's go check that post office. It wouldn't open before, but maybe it will now," Chen Mu said to Xiao Ye.

Behind the mailbox was a dilapidated post office building.

When the players first arrived, the building's doors were tightly shut and they couldn't be opened no matter how hard they tried.

Now Chen Mu came to the door again and tried to push it.

With a creak, the old, rusty door opened with a simple push.

This is what the letter in Scarlet says: "It's time to return to the post office; the newspaper doors are open for you."

So, is this building a newspaper office or a post office?

The next second, as the old door was pushed open, Chen Mu's doubts were immediately answered.

Because at the entrance of the door, there was an old sign hanging:

Underworld Post Office

Xiaoye also saw the sign. "Post office...is it a combined name for a post office and a newspaper office? That's a very unusual name."

Chen Mu thought to himself, "The post office and the newspaper can be explained."

Having the ability to travel between different spaces, besides finding news to make newspapers, it's perfectly reasonable for them to also act as a post office, delivering goods between different times and spaces and earning some shipping fees.

The "Death Postman" perhaps showcases the capabilities of a post office.

The following bizarre scene should correspond to the newspaper's capabilities.

From those four short characters, Chen Mu gleaned some useful information. He also managed to guess roughly the composition of the [Underworld Post Office].

Upon entering the building, Chen Mu discovered that the two small buildings from the outside actually had a surprisingly dilapidated interior!

To be precise, it's both huge and dilapidated!

The room looks small on the outside, but it is surprisingly spacious inside, about the size of seven or eight football fields.

This spacious room was divided into individual bedrooms.

There are hundreds of these "bedrooms" here!

The doors to every "bedroom" were all tightly shut at that moment.

Despite the rust on the door and its dilapidated appearance, it remained airtight, preventing anyone from seeing what was inside the "bedroom".

All the rooms were completely silent. A quiet atmosphere permeated the air, as if no one was there or anything strange.

Could this be the so-called Underworld Post Office?

Chen Mu hesitated, because in his mind, the mysterious newspaper office should be a very lively place.

As a newspaper that travels to all parts of the world, a vast amount of information converges here, and the newspaper's employees must be extremely busy.

Theoretically, there should be rows of workstations, all filled with strange people.

There was also newspaper printing, with machines roaring and massive amounts of newspapers flying out.

Moreover, the sheer volume of information gathered is itself a form of information exchange. Perhaps the newspaper office will even have an information exchange hall, similar to a novel "auction."

Information merchants waved banknotes and shouted prices in the trading hall, buying information.

Even if it weren't this lively, the bizarre newspaper office could still be more serious, but at least it should have enough staff and be well-organized.

What's going on here?

It was anything but bustling or lively, let alone crowded or lively.

A perfectly good newspaper office, one of the top ten scenes! A hub for a wealth of global information!

Surprisingly, it was very quiet, with no workstations, only rows of rusty metal "bedrooms".

This doesn't look like information exchange at all; the surroundings are deathly still.

What's in the "bedroom"?

Does this mean that all the newspaper's employees work in tiny "bedroom" rooms?

But why are the doors closed? What kind of work mode is this?

Rust stains were everywhere, and the dust accumulated on the windowsills spoke of the desolation of this place.

Chen Mu touched the ring; he even considered taking out the Key to Hell and opening a small room to take a look.

Before Chen Mu could take out the Key to Hell, Xiao Ye nudged him and gestured with her eyes.

Following Xiaoye's gaze, Chen Mu saw to his right the iron door of a small room.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that the iron gate is ajar.

The rusty iron gate can be opened with just a gentle push.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mu, without saying a word, took Xiao Ye and walked over.

In any case, Chen Mu can use props in the ten most eerie scenes, unlike the Ghost Gate, where he doesn't need to be as careful.

Chen Mu arrived at the door and listened inside, finding it completely silent.

Without further hesitation, Chen Mu reached out and gently pushed open the rusty iron door.

With a creaking sound, the thin iron door was pushed open by Chen Mu.

Suddenly, the scene in the room was displayed in front of Chen Mu.

When Chen Mu saw the state of the room, he raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat puzzled.

"This is the Underworld Post Office? Is this all?" Chen Mu muttered to himself.

It's no wonder Chen Mu was puzzled; the scene inside the small house was simply too unusual.

The "bedroom" is not a workspace at all.

To be honest, it really is just one bedroom!

Inside was a simple bed, a small table, a chair, and a... broken mirror.

The most noteworthy thing is this broken mirror.

Judging from the frame, it is a full-length dressing mirror, and the overall shape is similar to a rectangle.

Now only the frame remains, with a Chen Mugao in it.

The large mirror in the middle is completely broken.

What truly attracted Chen Mu were these shattered mirror fragments.

Unlike a normal mirror, when a normal mirror breaks, the fragments are irregular and scattered haphazardly on the ground.

But the shards of mirror in front of me were all perfectly rectangular!

The entire rectangular mirror looked as if it had been split from top to bottom into ten neat pieces, each of the same size.

All ten pieces were now lying flat on the ground.

It's obvious that the mirror didn't break normally. Normal external force couldn't have caused it to break to this extent.

Chen Mu bent down and called to Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, come here and help me put the mirrors back together."

Chen Mu noticed that the scene reflected on these ten broken mirrors was somewhat strange.

Theoretically, if the broken pieces of a mirror are laid flat on the ground, they should reflect the ceiling, a blank white image with little information.

However, what is reflected on these ten fragments is the fragmented outline of a room.

From the broken pieces, Chen Mu could vaguely see a bed, a table, a chair, and... a broken human figure.

Could it be that the image preserved in this mirror is that of the former owner of this room?

Thinking of this, Chen Mu called to Xiao Ye.

The two men carried the broken pieces one by one and pieced the mirror pieces back together.

As the fragments were restored, the reflection in the shattered mirror was fully revealed before Chen Mu.

This is a still photograph!

Or rather, this is what the room looked like before the mirror shattered.

The mirror reflected the room, and a strange figure dressed in work clothes stood in front of it, seemingly tidying up his appearance.

It looked in the mirror, a hint of nervousness in its eyes.

The reflection at that moment, along with the shattering of the mirror, was forever frozen in that instant.

"Could it be that something strange is sealed inside this mirror? Is this the mini-boss we're meant to deal with?"

Chen Mu pondered, but something still felt off.

This eerie appearance looks like a normal office worker's ghost, not the kind of dangerous and vicious ghost.
