Chapter 386: Wandering
The seventh branch has eleven ghost residents recently. If one more task is completed, it can reach the level of a three-star hotel.
Only when it reaches three stars can it finally catch up with the progress of most other branches.
From ordinary to one star: three ghosts need to be caught; from one star to two stars: three ghosts need to be caught;
From two stars to three stars: six ghosts are needed; from three stars to four stars: twelve ghosts are needed;
That is to say, starting from two stars, each time a star level is unlocked, the ghosts that need to be handed in are twice the previous star level.
By analogy, after reaching four stars, if you want to upgrade to a top five-star hotel, you need to catch twenty-four ghosts.
In total, a hotel upgrade route from low to high requires the capture of forty-eight ghosts.
This is an extremely harsh condition. At least from the hundreds of portraits in each branch, it can be seen that perhaps no one has completed this condition.
At present, the first branch is only one task away from being officially upgraded to four stars and starting to move towards the ultimate five-star hotel.
Compared to them, the seventh branch has a long way to go.
However, the difference between the branches is not critical now. The task of the store manager tomorrow is the top priority.
Ji Li spent two days and finally returned from the underworld of Fengcheng. This time he no longer owed ghosts and successfully redeemed the raccoon.
At this moment, the raccoon was sleeping on his shoulder, and it would make a gurgling sound from time to time, sleeping very sweetly.
The bronze ancient coffin currently has two opportunities to use, but he has figured out a more favorable method.
The special nature of this sin object itself is enough to achieve a confrontation effect just by showing it.
And the third personality has tried it for him. When it is really extremely dangerous, getting in can also play a short-term protection effect.
Counting the current Ji Li, his own strength has reached the level of not fearing anyone.
The sin objects of living people cannot be used on him. Others have the power of the sea of sky and he also has a slight resistance to ghosts.
And he is confident that when facing ghosts, as long as there is a possibility of survival, he will not lose his life so easily.
Starting from Li Congrong, to Jie Zheng and Tongguan before, Ji Li, who rarely introspected, reflected for a long time on the way back from Fengcheng.
He knew that he was used to controlling the overall situation after several missions, and there was a psychological loophole.
As the level of the hotel increased, the ghosts became more and more powerful. Mu Nianmei had already begun to calculate the behavior of the clerks. I am afraid that the tasks in the future will become more and more difficult.
The improvement of the comprehensive strength of the clerks in the same team is also a challenge for Ji Li.
But it must be admitted that such a future will not be boring.
Returning to the moat, Ji Li walked along the shore.
A woman in a light-colored cheongsam was by his side, and even held an umbrella. From time to time, she would reach out to tease the sleeping civet cat.
The way the woman exists is very special. As she said, she is definitely not a human, but she may not be a ghost.
But she showed many special features, such as she can see the civet cat that no one can see, and no one can see her. Even Ji Li can only catch its figure occasionally.
This reason may be related to the gradual fusion of the gray soul in Ji Li's body.
At some times, Ji Li's eyes can also see some very special or very strange ghost auras.
But if the female voice is the will of Tianhai Hotel, then it is a little unreasonable.
The female voice is obviously an independent body, and she is very lonely and has been here for many years.
But it can be concluded that she is very good to Ji Li, just like she just said a decision that made Ji Li a little embarrassed.
"I want to go with you to participate in the store manager's mission."
If the female voice had looked at Ji Li differently in the past, perhaps he could understand it, but the female voice's words made him ponder for a long time without giving an answer.
Ji Li did not regard the female voice as a person or a ghost, but just a trustworthy person in the seventh branch.
But why was the female voice so good to him, was it just because she once said that they were all wandering souls?
"Could it be that she is a chess piece left by Tianhai beside me, approaching me step by step, hoping to make me show a flaw?
But with Tianhai's ability, why does it do this?"
Seeing that Ji Li had not expressed his opinion for a long time, the female voice seemed to be afraid that he would think too much, and hurriedly explained:
"I just think that with your current strength, you can't take advantage of the ten store managers, especially Li Yi and Gu Xingjian.
I don't even know the store manager's mission. If you really have an accident, what should I do alone?"
After hearing this, Ji Li not only did not dispel his doubts, but his heart was even more turbulent.
The female voice has now completely crossed the line. As the hotel will of the seventh branch, she doesn't care about the other staff members, and is determined to follow him to participate in the store manager's mission.
She didn't say whether she could go, so she must be able to do it.
But the weirdest thing is here. Tianhai would let her do what she wants, which is problematic in itself!
Ji Li didn't speak, and glanced at the moat water, his face calm.
He is a suspicious person and never trusts anyone.
He wouldn't trust the woman just because she helped him find Chunshan's future memories and because of some small favors.
But he didn't show any rejection. On the contrary, he was thinking that if the woman's voice became more and more excessive in the future, he could guess Tianhai's intentions through her behavior.
Let's go back to the source.
Ji Li's biggest enemy is always Tianhai.
That horrible existence that cannot be seen or touched, is completely unknown, and even ghosts are at its mercy.
"If you want to go, then go."
The woman did not seem to expect Ji Li to really agree. In fact, she did not need Ji Li's permission, but she still acted very happy.
She chose not to bother Ji Li anymore, and walked back to the seventh branch with an umbrella.
Ji Li stopped, turned around silently, and looked at the woman's departing back with his gray-black eyes, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
The red rope tied to the braid behind the woman swayed in the sun.
After a long time, he turned around silently and continued to walk along the moat.
Ji Li did not have the leisure to look at the river. He was looking for the riverbank where Gao Yan said the white robe worship ghost was located.
According to Gao Yan, when he came to the moat fifteen years ago, he went down to the shore at a certain gap, where there was a hole.
At the entrance of the cave, in front of the statue of Ji Li, who was leaning on a cane and holding two skulls, was a short and fat ghost in a white robe.
However, Gao Yan did not die, but his eyes died because of a look, which was quite strange.
A living person who had seen such a secret should not live in this world, but Gao Yan not only survived, but even lived to see Ji Li on this day.
Why?
Ji Li could only guess that the white-robed ghost did not kill him just to let Gao Yan tell Ji Li that there was such a past event.
The old events of fifteen years ago, however, ended completely with Gao Yan's death.
Because Ji Li could no longer find the gap he had once found, it was even more impossible for him to enter the sacrificial cave.
The river surface rose and fell, submerging many past events.
Ji Li stopped at the shore and lit a cigarette, his eyes drifting far away with the wind, like a rootless duckweed, just wandering on.
The store manager mission will start tomorrow
