Chapter 379 Yu Guo Cries Bitterly
It was a night as dark as water, and even the sound of the wind had stopped.
The night on the moat bank was a little cold, but it also made people feel peaceful.
Ji Li changed out of the leather jacket Gao Yan had given him, and changed back into the clothes he was used to. He sat in his old seat with his long hair that had not yet dried.
Next to the solid wooden chair facing the door on the first floor were the portraits of the former store managers, and on the table were ashtrays and bottles of wine.
Ji Li raised his head and drank vodka as if it were water, looking at the seventh branch in the dark night, and fell into deep thought.
Being qualified as a formal store manager, it seems that he did not get the power he wanted.
In the previous announcement, the store manager had three privileges, and the first and second were kept secret for the time being.
The third was that he could use the power of the sea of sky three times within a reasonable range.
This power of the sea of sky was actually the power that Li Congrong had used to smash the incense in the hands of the Wheel King.
The power to erase any employee was indeed very exciting, but it could not erase ghosts.
In fact, Ji Li did not need to use supernatural powers to kill any clerk. If he wanted, he could kill them with a trick.
So these three times of Tianhai power, in his view, were nothing more than a consumable effect against sin objects.
What made him look forward to it were the first two permissions, but now it seems that these two are not so satisfactory.
The first permission of the store manager: he can arbitrarily accept the position of "deputy store manager" in the branch and obtain some command rights in the store.
This first permission is simply nonsense in Ji Li's view.
It is nothing more than being able to use the deputy store manager to preside over the work when he is not there to prevent unexpected situations, and he does not need it.
What he does not understand is the second permission.
The second permission of this store manager is actually not a permission at all, but a piece of information, which is expressed as a concrete map.
Shanming Central Hospital: First Branch, Wangdu Hotpot Restaurant: Second Branch, Shanming City Crematorium: Third Branch...
Moat: Seventh Branch, Tianming Bridge: Eighth Branch, Tianming Cemetery: Ninth Branch, Villa No. 333, Tianhai Street, Huhai City: Tenth Branch...
This is a map of the location distribution of the ten branches.
All branches of Tianhai Hotel are hidden under a building or even a shop in the real world, and only the staff can enter.
On the back of the map is the profile information of the ten managers of the ten branches.
Basically, it is some age, gender, name, photo and basic personality and strengths.
But there are three people whose profiles only have names.
First branch, Li Yi; seventh branch, Ji Li; ninth branch, Gu Xingjian.
So simple and straightforward that even age and gender are not written.
What Ji Li doesn't understand is what's the point of adding this map to the manager's authority.
Of course, the weirdest thing on this map is the tenth branch.
This tenth branch is not located in Shanming City, but in the neighboring city, Huhai City.
Ji Li took a glance at it and put it away. He didn't care about the other branches, but he didn't get what he wanted, which made him feel not very good tonight.
In the dead of night, after Ji Li finished another bottle of wine, he vaguely saw a hazy shadow appear across the table.
The shadow looked like a woman with a braid behind her head and the tail of her hair on the chest of a light-colored cheongsam. She couldn't see her face clearly but gave people a very peaceful feeling.
Ji Li saw these at first glance, but at second glance he felt that there was no one on the chair at all.
"Didn't you get what you wanted?"
A familiar voice sounded from the shadow, causing Ji Li to tilt his head slightly, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
"Are you a ghost?"
The female voice smiled, and Ji Li saw the phantom again with his third eye. She played with the braid on her chest with both hands and said:
"I don't know if I am a ghost. Maybe the way I exist is a bit similar, but which ghost have you seen that can chat with you?"
Ji Li nodded and retracted his gaze. It didn't matter to him what the female voice was.
The important thing is that now his way of understanding Tianhai's existence has returned to the starting point.
Then the female voice's words ignited his hope again.
A soft voice sounded, and the female voice seemed to be looking at Ji Li quietly.
"Four days later, that is, on November 24, the store manager's mission will start, and you will meet those guys."
Ji Li thoughtfully opened another bottle of wine. He had always kept the store manager's mission in his heart.
The female voice didn't know enough about the store manager's mission. She only knew that it was a long-term mission, and it was currently about one-third of the progress.
And the ghosts in it are much stronger than the current mission, but how strong they are, no one knows unless you go there once.
"This is the news I bring to you as the will of the seventh branch. Now I want to say something I want to say.
I know you want to get close to Tianhai through the store manager mission, but first you have to survive. I suspect there are two ways to unlock the secret of Tianhai Hotel.
The first is to upgrade the hotel to five stars, and the second is to complete the store manager mission.
Compared to the former, the latter is obviously faster to achieve your goal.
But the risk will also double. I personally hope you can survive first, and then consider these..."
The female voice paused here, and continued sincerely: "But I believe in you."
The female voice is very good to Ji Li, which he has always known. Similarly, if Ji Li does not mix interests in the seventh branch, his only friend is also the female voice.
So Ji Li smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
The female voice nodded silently, and then added as if she had thought of something:
"Be careful of Li Yi and Gu Xingjian, these two people are very difficult characters.
I went to the first branch to help you find photos last time, and it seems that I was discovered. That look at me made me feel a little scared.
The deepest fear is the unknown.
Li Yi is obviously a living person, but he can do this. Even I don't know how to evaluate him.
As for Gu Xingjian... It is said that he is a person who can't die.
But I don't know how he did it.
The true and false things will have to be understood after meeting them later."
Ji Li nodded without saying anything. At this time, two dusty figures outside the hotel broke in.
Ji Li almost dropped the cigarette on his fingertips at a glance.
The two people who came in were Yu Guo and Hong Fu.
Yu Guo's face was full of tears. He came back in the middle of the night and was naked. His body looked like someone had drawn talismans on it with a thick pen.
Hong Fu's face was ruddy, and he even looked a little arrogant. What was strange was that he was holding a thick stack of paper money for the dead, and some of it was blown away by the wind.
Yu Guo covered his lower body with both hands. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ji Li staring at him. Tears burst out all of a sudden, and he didn't care much.
He ran towards Ji Li naked, crying and shouting:
"Ji Li, you have to help me. There were three gamblers who robbed us on the way. Hong Fu and I played mahjong with them for a whole day and night. We lost all our clothes!"
Hearing this, Ji Li looked at Hong Fu, a little strange.
Hong Fu sensed Ji Li's gaze, looked at Yu Guo with contempt, and shook the huge amount of paper money for the dead in his hand as if to show off.
Apparently Yu Guo lost all his clothes, but Hong Fu won a lot of money.
"Gambling ghosts?"
"That's right! Ghosts who robbed the gambling table in broad daylight, three gambling ghosts!"
Yu Guo wiped his nose with his hand, and then quietly wiped Ji Li's shirt with that hand.
Ji Li frowned, then kicked Yu Guo down, secretly said that you are unlucky, and then took out his phone and called Fang Shenyan's cell phone.
"Don't sleep, call Mei Sheng, Tongguan and others, and go with me to catch the ghosts who owed you."
