Chapter 1186: Strange Things Happen Frequently
At one o'clock in the afternoon on January 3, 2016, there was still no sun and the sky was overcast.
The temperature on the river bank was even lower, and the air inhaled into the lungs seemed to be condensed with frost. The temperature here was much more stinging than the weather forecast.
Ji Li put his hands in his pockets and tucked his coat tightly, staring at the connection between the water and the sky, and said softly:
"In the end, he died in the elevator of the E-2 floor, and the Yin body exploded."
After telling a story about someone, he did not put much emotion into the ending and the beginning, just as a storyteller.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was emotional.
Xue Tingtao was already in tears, with a pair of red and swollen eyes on his thin face, leaning on the railing and choking.
Ji Li's narration and what he saw during the store manager's mission finally allowed him to piece together the full picture of that person. The lost memory was not recovered, but returned to his mind in this way.
After a long time, he wiped the tears from his face and asked in a deep voice:
"Did my brother... leave any message before he died?"
"No."
Ji Li faced the cold wind and lit another cigarette. Finally, he slowly turned around and looked at Xue Tingtao and said slowly:
"He had done everything he wanted to say and do before he died."
Xue Tingtao was stunned when he heard it, and then cried bitterly.
...
"Manager, something big happened in the store. The second floor suddenly collapsed, but I don't know what happened. We can't see the ghosts running away!"
Cheng Ming's phone call pulled Ji Li from his memories into reality.
When he heard the news, he couldn't help but frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he just said "I'll be there right away."
Ji Li turned around and left, leaving Xue Tingtao standing alone at the bridge, immersed in their own emotions.
Pushing open the door of the seventh branch, a female voice followed the footsteps of the door and said:
"The further content of the commission task will be announced in two hours, sir, go early and come back early."
At the stairs on the first floor, Tongguan and Changnian stood on both sides of the road and said at the same time:
"We will go back to Shanghai City to handle some household registration matters, and try to be back before the commission task is officially released."
Ji Li glanced at them and walked straight away without saying a word.
At the stairs on the second floor, Mei Sheng and Jie Zheng stood side by side, looking at each other, arguing about something.
Seeing Ji Li coming up, Mei Sheng said to him:
"There are some minor problems with my paper, pen, and ink. We will go to the haunted house on Songshan Street later."
Jie Zhengxin changed his hair to a shorter buzz cut, wiped the stubble on his head, and said after hesitation:
"Mei Sheng and I each have 10 commissions. We will try to solve the problem within two hours and return to the store in time."
Ji Li frowned more and more, and walked past the two of them quickly without saying a word.
At the staircase on the third floor, Fang Shenyan stood alone at the railing, staring at Ji Li coming up step by step, with an indifferent look on his face.
He had no commission, so the next task was probably irrelevant to him. Just when Ji Li was about to pass by, he suddenly asked:
"Gu Xingjian, is he really dead?"
Ji Li paused slightly, but still did not speak, and immediately opened the door of Room 301.
He walked in from the outside, without any pause, and immediately turned the other door corresponding to the tenth store and walked out.
The scene changed slightly, from the seventh to the tenth, it took less than half a second.
Now there should be seventeen ghosts and eighteen employees in the tenth store.
At this moment, 18 employees, including the deputy store manager Quan Liang, gathered in the lobby on the first floor, looking at the second floor uncomfortably, making a lot of noise.
Quan Liang, Cheng Ming and Hu Li were stepping up their instructions. From time to time, several shop assistants gritted their teeth and used the sinful objects to pour them on the second floor.
Hu Nuannuan, the "acquaintance" who survived the immortal mission, stood in a corner away from the crowd, looking at them with a very complicated look.
Similarly, when Ji Li came to the tenth store, he saw the situation on the second floor and the performance of the shop assistants, and he also showed the same complicated look.
"Stop!"
Quan Liang was sharp-eyed and saw Ji Li's figure on the third floor at the first time. He shouted loudly and made the scene quiet.
He trotted all the way to the stairs, and deliberately dodged when passing the second floor.
Everyone's eyes followed his figure and finally fixed on Ji Li.
As for Ji Li, he looked at Quan Liang and the shop assistants below with a more confusing look.
"Manager, you came at the right time. The second floor suddenly collapsed half a minute ago, but it did not affect the first and third floors.
But we can't repair it even with the power of the sin object. I wonder if there is something wrong with the hotel or what?"
Quan Liang was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat, and even the hair on his temples was wet. He was even more anxious when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was confused.
He always thought that Ji Li's appointment as the store manager was a great thing, and it might be a major opportunity for the tenth store to get out of trouble.
But if the entire hotel really collapsed from the rules, then what is the opportunity to talk about? What's more, the omen has already happened before our eyes.
However, Ji Li did not express his opinion on this matter, and his expression was not urgent, but rather a kind of "confusion" that Quan Liang could not understand.
"In your eyes, the second floor collapsed, so can you see the ghost residents go out?"
Quan Liang was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the second floor below.
From his perspective, all the rooms on the second floor had disappeared, and the walls, partitions, and baffles had all turned into a ruin of reinforced concrete.
It's just that the ghost residents are still in their original positions, and everything is normal.
It's just that there is no spatial barrier, and the ghosts' every move is visible.
"No, they are still..."
Quan Liang understood the meaning of Ji Li's words. He turned back in shock and asked uncertainly:
"You just said 'in my eyes', is it from your perspective?"
That's right.
Ji Li passed Quan Liang and stood at the railing on the third floor. He pointed to the second floor and said in a voice that everyone could hear:
"In my perspective, everything on the second floor is normal, the ghosts follow the rules, and nothing happened in the tenth store."
His eyes moved in the direction of his finger, 201, 202, 203...
The seventeen rooms, corridors, and walls on the second floor were not damaged at all, let alone the collapse and ruins mentioned by Quan Liang.
But from the current situation, from the perspective of Quan Liang and the staff of the tenth store, the facts are completely opposite.
"This..."
Quan Liang couldn't believe it. He was speechless for an unknown period of time. He looked up and shouted to the radio:
"Hotel Will, why don't you speak?"
Since the collapse of the second floor, Quan Liang has repeatedly looked for the hotel will, but the male voice never appeared.
Even when the store manager Ji Li arrived at this moment, it still did not show up. This is extremely weird.
The tenth store, hated by heaven and earth, has been abandoned.
Ji Li saw Hu Nuannuan in the vast black spot on the first floor, looking at her with a different look.
Hu Nuannuan slowly walked out of the corner, gradually came to the front of the store clerks, and said in front of her eyes:
"Manager, the scene I saw is exactly the same as yours."
Strange thing.
Extremely strange thing.
This time, it was Ji Li's turn to show a look of surprise, because things seemed to become more complicated.
If only Ji Li had a different perspective, then it could be explained as follows:
"Ji Li is the manager of the seventh branch and is currently the manager of the tenth branch, so he sees things differently."
This statement could indicate that something unexpected had happened inside the tenth branch.
However, there happened to be another employee, Hu Nuannuan, in the tenth branch, who actually had the same perspective as Ji Li.
In this way, things started to get confusing.
Was it that Ji Li and Hu Nuannuan were special, or was there something else going on with the collapse of the second floor of the tenth branch...
