Chapter 234 The Fifth Branch

November 12, 2015, ten o'clock in the evening.

Independent of the real world, the Bamboo Horse Guild Hall completely disappeared from the city without a trace at this time.

The corpses left inside were also taken away, as was the original owner, the ghost who liked to kill people with scripts.

Here, there is no supernatural power.

At the same time, Ji Li was walking in the drizzling rain on crutches, with long hair shawl-shouldered and a depressed figure.

Mei Sheng and Dai Yingqi disappeared into the rain curtain in his sight, returning to the seventh branch first.

At the same time, there was another unknown corner of Shanming City, which was an alley in the old city called Tieguai Hutong.

At the end of Tieguai Hutong, there is a convenience supermarket. It looks like a supermarket, but in fact, when you open the door, the scene and space here are more than ten times larger.

This is the fifth branch of Tianhai Hotel.

The fifth branch, third floor, room 301.

Li Congrong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, holding a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. The smoke slowly rose, making the corners of his eyes sore.

The store manager, whose temples had turned white, was slightly stooped. A puff of cigarette smoke stuck in his throat, causing him to cough violently.

The rough middle-aged face wrinkled together in the moonlight. He stretched out his dark hand to pinch off the cigarette and threw it on the ground.

"Uncle, it's better to smoke less. Your health is important."

The tall young man behind him stood up from the sofa when he heard the cough, walked over with a sigh, and stamped out the sparkling cigarette butt.

Li Congrong turned his head when he heard the words and looked at the young man who was half a head taller than him, especially the fair face with a healthy rosy complexion for a while.

He smiled slightly and patted his nephew on the shoulder:

"Guanqi, I've been coming to the fifth branch for a while. What do you think of this branch?"

Li Guanqi, who was once called a true gentleman by Tongguan, somewhat understood the meaning of his uncle's words, but pretended not to know and asked:

"I wonder which aspect uncle is referring to specifically?"

Li Congrong smiled hoarsely, looked out the window again, and said in a faint tone:

“The fifth branch has a special situation. It is caught in the whirlpool of the first branch and the ninth branch, and it has never been able to survive alone.

The battle between No. 1 and No. 9 has been a long-standing grudge until now because of the mission last year.

And because of that sinful object, both sides are trying their best to pull us into camp.

However, a large number of people in the store have secretly cooperated and traded with the first branch.

I'm older, and I used to turn a blind eye, but now that you're here, things should come to an end. "

Li Congrong spoke for a long time, which made his breathing become rapid and his dark face flushed, which showed that his body was no longer as good as before.

Li Guanqi clenched his fists. He already understood his uncle's intention, but he shook his head to express his rejection.

"Uncle, I won't be the store manager of the fifth branch. This position means responsibility, and I don't want to.

What's more, with your ability and such sinful things, you can do better than me. "

Li Congrong smiled knowingly. He understood the character of his nephew, especially after receiving this answer, his decision had already taken root.

Li Guanqi, once a Go genius, was destined to become a top national player given time.

Unfortunately, things backfired and he was dragged into the hotel before he became famous.

His reasoning ability is extremely outstanding, especially in terms of layout and strategy. Even Tongguan, the former store manager of the 11th branch, was inferior to him.

But such a person has a fatal weakness: he is too kind!

In today's hell, this is enough to make him fall before he can grow up.

However, he was also very lucky. Tongguan took care of him before, but after entering the fifth branch, the manager of the branch turned out to be his uncle Li Congrong.

but……

Li Congrong gave another explanation for being a store manager: "Being a store manager brings not only responsibilities, but also resources and power."

Li Guanqi looked at his uncle in confusion and said nothing.

Suddenly, Li Congrong's whole aura changed, his back suddenly straightened up, he acted selfishly and automatically, and slowly opened his arms, as if to welcome the starlight.

When the moonlight filled his face, he looked several years younger. At the same time, a strong wind blew beside him and Li Guanqi involuntarily stepped back, as if something was forcing him to stay away.

In the center of the storm in the room, only Li Congrong was left.

But the starlight in the sky gradually converged on the white wall in front of Li Congrong, like a projection screen, and a dynamic picture appeared.

In that picture, it looked like an old movie, with a person in it.

Deep in the mountains and old forests, the moonlight was dim, and a figure whose appearance could not be seen clearly was walking forward with difficulty.

The most amazing thing is that he is carrying a very heavy object on his back!

Li Guanqi's eyes sparkled with brilliance. Looking at that scene, he wanted to remember all the details in his mind.

He saw the true appearance of the heavy object. It turned out to be an ancient bronze coffin that was larger than an adult!

And that ancient coffin didn't look like the figure took the initiative to carry it on his back, because there were countless iron chains wrapped around the man's body, tying him and the coffin together!

Slowly, three big blood-red characters appeared in the center of the image.

It means: "shady coffin"

At this time, the man carrying the coffin was still carrying a heavy load. Passing through the center of the three words, a pale and resolute face emerged.

The man's eyes were half gray and half black!

"The seventh branch, Ji Li!"

Li Congrong gritted his teeth and read out the name of the coffin carrier word by word.

At the same time, the picture completely dissipated and the wind stopped, as if nothing had happened.

"The seventh branch?" Li Guanqi did not have the information source like the store manager Li Congrong, and he did not know the so-called Ji Li.

Li Congrong nodded with difficulty, and sat down on the sofa with a weak body, lighting a cigarette for himself.

"The next mission is called the Yin Coffin, which is a joint reception mission for the fifth and seventh branches.

Have you remembered the scenes and details in the picture?"

Li Guanqi nodded heavily. He had remembered everything in his mind. He also remembered that his former store manager and confidant, Tongguan, was in the seventh branch at the moment!

Immediately, he looked at Li Congrong who was regulating his breath.

Why did the first branch, the strongest branch, want to win over the fifth branch?

Why, the ninth branch, the group that dared to compete with the strongest branch, also wanted to befriend Li Congrong?

The source of this is Li Congrong, and the sinful thing in him!

Li Congrong only has his left eye, and his right eye has been parasitized and replaced by a ghost.

And this sinful thing gave him a power, that is, he could foresee the next mission, and take the initiative to start it, and even see the preview of the next mission!

This is equivalent to a terrible sinful thing that affects the balance of the hotel. It is simply horrifying. Even the manager of the first branch wanted to get involved several times.

Spying on the preview of the next mission in advance and getting the prompt first, this is too useful for the mission, especially the joint mission.

One step ahead, every step ahead, just like at this moment.

Li Guanqi's heart surged when he thought about cooperating with the seventh branch. While Li Congrong was still in good spirits, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle, who will participate in this mission?"

Li Congrong slowly opened his eyes, stayed on Li Guanqi's face for a moment, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and shouted:

"Hotel, I want to use my manager's authority at this time, and I want to choose the staff to perform this mission myself!"
