Chapter 400 A List
Gu Xingjian's words revealed the secret, and it will also set off a long and bloody internal struggle among the store managers.
The puzzle of July 1st has been lost, and the puzzles of July 2nd and 3rd were taken by Li Yi and Gu Xingjian respectively.
Now there are only four puzzles left, but there are six store managers waiting to die.
Su Chenghe, Chen Hansheng, Xue Tinghai, Huangfu Jiajia, Luo Xian, Zhu Xiaoning, at least two of these six people will die!
Moreover, this does not count Li Yi and Gu Xingjian, who obviously also have to compete for the subsequent puzzles.
The pressure of competing with these two people is too great.
Special circumstances and various factors are intertwined. These people who should have been the leaders of each branch have to struggle in the fate of life and death.
There was originally only one way: do everything possible, use any means, and kill as many other competitors as possible in order to maximize the chance of grabbing the remaining puzzles!
This plan has always been in the minds of all store managers, and they have not said it clearly, but they all know it.
Gu Xingjian's words completely revealed the dirty thoughts that had not yet been put on the table.
He forced everyone to face it, but gave another solution...
Go back to the past and find the puzzle again!
This plan is crazy, because it requires a terrible sin that can tamper with time and repair the past.
This is a sin that has not appeared in all branches so far.
That's why everyone present was so frightened, because they didn't believe Gu Xingjian's words, but they couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Go back to July 1st, set things right, and adjust mistakes...
This temptation is really too great.
And only one person's face became gloomy. He looked at Gu Xingjian's back in the shadows with a complicated mind.
This person is Ji Li who is watching the show.
There is only one sin that plays with time in the palm of his hand, and it is in the hands of Tongguan in the seventh branch!
But how did Gu Xingjian know?
Ji Li turned around and stopped looking at him, took out a cigarette box from his arms, and began to think deeply about this matter in the posture of smoking.
He had never taken the other branches to heart. After all, even if everyone had grievances, as long as it was not a joint reception mission, there would generally be no chance to meet.
But now it seems that he was wrong.
He looked at the connection between the ten branches too simply. As long as there were people, there would be grievances. If there were grievances, people would go to great lengths and use any means to compete for benefits.
Whether in the mission or outside the mission.
Obviously, in the seventh branch, there was not only a traitor from the first branch, but also a traitor from the ninth branch.
When he looked up again, he clearly found that at this moment, Li Yi, who had always been indifferent to everything, turned his head and looked at Gu Xingjian because of this sentence.
Li Yi also had a time-related sin object, but he did not have a sin object that could really play with time.
That kind of sin object should not fall into the hands of any clerk, even Li Yi.
Ji Li knew at this moment that if the news that Tongguan had the white candle sin object was completely leaked, I am afraid that the seventh branch would become the public enemy of all branches.
Everyone would be salivating and the storm would surge.
However, who else would know about the news that Tongguan got the white candles, except for the heavens, the earth and Ji Li?
Huangfu Jiajia was still hesitating. She didn't dare to bet on whether what Gu Xingjian said was true.
After all, even Li Yi didn't have the sin that could tamper with time, but Gu Xingjian's swearing look didn't seem fake.
If Li Yi said this, Huangfu Jiajia would have no doubts at all, but it happened to be Gu Xingjian...
Gu Xingjian always spoke half-truthfully, tempting people to go deeper, and was scheming, very good at layout and calculation.
Often a seemingly inadvertent action can become the starting point for Gu Xingjian to calculate you, and when it is revealed, it has already killed people.
It can be said that the most terrifying thing about Gu Xingjian is not his sin, but the power of planning that can't find an opponent even after calculating the ten major branches.
"Promise him, he has the ability."
Just when Huangfu Jiajia couldn't make up her mind, Luo Xian's voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
Luo Xian once planted a dream seed in Huangfu Jiajia, claiming that it could save her in times of crisis.
Huangfu Jiajia was confused, but did not dare to turn back to ask for the truth.
But then Luo Xian sent another sentence, which was an explanation:
"All the calendar pages torn off every day in Ru Ru's house disappeared. It is speculated that those pages have a time effect. Gu Xingjian should have some kind of time-related sin, which can be added to the calendar page to achieve a retrospective effect."
Why Luo Xian wanted to persuade Huangfu Jiajia is something that needs to be thought about, but as soon as her words disappeared, another man's voice also emerged from Huangfu Jiajia's mind.
This voice came inexplicably and was particularly strange.
"On July 4, everyone will die here. It is your luck if you leave early."
This voice was a little lonely and dull, and Huangfu Jiajia subconsciously looked at the man.
Xu Nan was still smoking, staring at Gu Xingjian, as if these words were not said by him.
The more Xu Nan behaved like this, the more it proved that his words were not false. Although his voice was not loud, he was extremely confident.
Huangfu Jiajia could no longer hesitate and nodded immediately, put the rubber band back on her hair, and walked quickly towards Gu Xingjian and Zhu Xiaoning.
"Miss Huangfu is indeed a wise person. Then I wish you to get your own puzzle soon."
Gu Xingjian smiled meaningfully but did not stand up. His right hand with the ring on it seemed to turn into a steel knife and stabbed into Zhu Xiaoning's abdomen fiercely.
He tore open Zhu Xiaoning's belly, searched inside with one hand, blood all over the floor, and finally pulled out a dark, hard human tongue.
The black blood vessels on Zhu Xiaoning's face disappeared as the human tongue was pulled out of her body, and the injuries on her body were recovering rapidly.
"Eat it, and you can die."
Huangfu Jiajia looked at the filthy human skull handed to her, retched for a while, and almost vomited bile.
But in the end, she took it in her hand, and she looked at Gu Xingjian fiercely and said:
"If you don't keep your promise, the first thing I will do when I turn into a ghost is to kill you for revenge!"
Gu Xingjian took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiped the filth on his hand, nodded and said:
"I have told countless lies in my life, but today I will tell the truth to Miss Huangfu."
...
Huangfu Jiajia died, her body was miserable, hanging on the beam, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
She became the first of the ten store managers to die twice, and her chance of becoming a ghost will greatly increase in the few remaining open days.
However, she also became the only store manager who returned to July 1st with Gu Xingjian.
Of course, if Gu Xingjian did not lie.
The elevator door opened, and now there were finally ten people. Ru Ru stood alone at the crowded elevator door.
The remaining ten store managers squeezed in the back, looking at the paper on the elevator announcement.
This paper was first called "Yin List" by Gu Xingjian.
Ten branches, hundreds of store employees, and candidates ranked at the top of the comprehensive strength are all on it.
Why the store manager task will have a ranking announcement, and what is the use of this list, no one knows.
There are only ten places on the list, but Li Yi is not the first on the Yin List.
Gu Xingjian is the first, Luo Xian is the second, and Chen Hansheng is the third.
Xue Tinghai is the fourth, Huangfu Jiajia is the fifth, Su Chenghe is the sixth, Li Guanqi is the seventh, Fang Shenyan is the eighth, and Zhu Xiaoning is the ninth.
The name column of the tenth person now shows "pending".
There seems to be controversy over the person ranked tenth. Perhaps even Tianhai has not been able to select a person with sufficient comprehensive strength.
This is the first time that Fang Shenyan's name has appeared on this list. He is also the first person who has appeared on the Yin list who is not a store manager.
Although he is only ranked eighth, he has surpassed Zhu Xiaoning, who has the power of Tianhai three times. This explains some problems.
Everyone looked at Ji Li with a little surprise in their eyes.
It's not just because Fang Shenyan is from the seventh branch, but more importantly, why Ji Li is not on the list.
Li Yi's strength is far beyond this list, and even Gu Xingjian is not at the same level as him, so why is Ji Li?
Could it be that the store manager of the seventh branch can't even rank tenth in comprehensive strength?
I moved these two days and sent my computer away, so there should be no conditions for updating. Everyone can wait.
