Chapter 420 The Fish Has Taken the Bait

Although after coming to this room, Ji Li had several guesses about the way out.

The first time it appeared, it seemed to be reflected on time and space.

However, the woman named A Rong never appeared again after a glimpse.

The change of time and space, as Chen Hansheng took out the paper house, turned into a guess that the soul was separated from reality.

And this guess is closer to the truth from the current situation.

The ghost in the building has not killed people several times, and what it is waiting for is to brand the souls of all the store managers present.

The real manifestation of the brand is this paper house;

And the real killing place is in the place where the soul is strangled, which is another parallel independent space.

The disappearance of the eye means entering that space.

The dead end is there, and the way out is also there.

The truth about the life and death of this ghost in the building ends here, and the rest is execution.

Ji Li is not in a hurry to take action. He stood there and looked at the red paper house quietly, with a slightly rippled look in his eyes.

The fragment of A Rong seems to be just the prelude of this short story.

It was like an introduction, leading to the paper-cut ghost.

But since it was just an introduction, there must be a main text next.

Ji Li thought carefully, and it seemed that he had guessed the truth about the ghost in this room.

But what exactly is the complete story...

He thought so, but he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture unless he continued to break through.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaoning held the eyeball in his palm, came to his side and asked gently:

"Manager Ji, do you have any guesses about how to survive?"

Although Zhu Xiaoning is the manager of the tenth store, unfortunately, he is also a tall man among short people. In terms of intelligence, he can probably only compare with Yu Guo.

Ji Li has pointed out the key points of the eyeball, but his mind is still a fog, with some vague guesses, but he can't clearly identify them.

Ji Li turned his head quietly and looked at Zhu Xiaoning seriously.

The ability of this manager is different from that of all the current managers.

Almost any one of the ten store managers is a capable person, but Zhu Xiaoning is far from that.

But this is the crux of the problem.

Why does Gu Xingjian hold such a person tightly in his palm?

Gu Xingjian brought too much psychological oppression to Ji Li. In this store manager mission, he always felt that he was shrouded in the shadow of that man.

Since entering the store manager mission, Ji Li has been keeping a low profile and being cautious in his words and deeds. This is not intentional.

It is because every smile and every move of Gu Xingjian made him feel very meaningful, forcing him to be very cautious.

Even so, Ji Li still felt that he had been calculated by Gu Xingjian, but he couldn't find out where it was.

The high and mighty Li Yi, like a ghost, gave Ji Li a sense of powerlessness to resist;

This wise and demonic Gu Xingjian, like a venomous snake, gave him another invisible psychological resistance.

These are the two most terrifying characters that Ji Li faced after he had memories.

As for these two people, the former seemed to have a natural hostility towards him, and the latter tried to control everyone, and they all looked like enemies...

Ji Li lowered his eyebrows slightly, hiding the change in his eyes. He patted Zhu Xiaoning's shoulder and said softly:

"Manager Zhu, we have to go to the Soul-Smothering Land while Chen Hansheng is still alive. Only there can we break this layer of the building ghost."

Zhu Xiaoning nodded heavily. He followed Ji Li's thoughts and thought about this. Naturally, he agreed and asked further:

"But the most important thing is how to get there?"

Ji Li smiled in a secretive way, raised his hand and pointed at his eyes, and said cruelly:

"Dig out the eyes and replace them with eyeballs without eye filaments!"

Although it was just one sentence, Zhu Xiaoning still took a breath and his face changed again and again.

The reason for this situation is that he understands that what Ji Li said is correct...

Pulling out the eye filaments is the killing mode of the building ghost to pull people into the Soul-Smothering Land.

So before they are selected, replacing them with eyes without eye filaments in advance, wouldn't it be automatic to walk there?

But this way out is only half a way out, because after changing their eyes, they will face the ghost.

The real way to leave has not been found, and they need to improvise.

Moreover, who can be sure that the way out is really the place where the soul is strangled? If they go there, they will never come back.

After losing their eyes, if the way out is not there, how can they turn the situation around?

Ji Li naturally saw Zhu Xiaoning's hesitation, which was normal, and the answer he gave was absolutely shocking.

"I know what you are worried about, but you don't need to worry, because you don't need to take this path.

I hope you can leave this store manager mission and die now!"

Before Zhu Xiaoning could react, the female voice took the lead and urged:

"Mr. Ji, if Zhu Xiaoning was here, maybe you only need to give up one eye and use two people to splice a pair of eyeballs.

If he died, you would be completely blind and enter there, and the probability of survival is too low!"

However, before the female voice finished, Ji Li directly stretched out his hand to interrupt it. He stared at Zhu Xiaoning, who was breathing very quickly.

Zhu Xiaoning looked at Ji Li without hatred, but with deep doubts.

For the store manager mission, death is not so difficult to accept, it is nothing more than accelerating death in the later stage.

Originally, he did not expect to defeat Li Yi and Gu Xingjian to snatch the puzzle pieces, but when the way out showed signs, Ji Li asked him to commit suicide.

This matter was too weird, and he could not accept it without a reasonable explanation.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Xiaoning, and then said:

"You came here just to seek the store manager's sin object, and I cannot use the sin object.

In this mission, no matter how many sin objects I finally take, I will give them to you as compensation."

Zhu Xiaoning's breathing stopped, her heart beat wildly, and she took a step forward and asked: "Are you serious?"

He knew that Ji Li had an ancient bronze coffin, and he had seen him resist hundreds of ghosts in the spherical space, plus his brain that cracked the eighteenth level of life in two minutes.

With this strength, he believed that the other party's chance of obtaining the sin object was definitely better than his own.

Zhu Xiaoning was tempted. He would die anyway, and even if he got the sin object by chance, it would be at most one.

But if Ji Li could really give him compensation...

After a while, Zhu Xiaoning gritted her teeth and asked: "What is your purpose in doing this?"

Ji Li looked far away, as if looking out the window, but actually looking at an unknown place.

"Gu Xingjian won't let you die, so I'll let you out early.

I want him to make a mistake, so I can find his flaws."

...

At this moment, the fifth floor of the black and white building is a forbidden area for light and a pilgrimage place for darkness.

A figure in white humming an unknown tune pushed open the door there and broke into the fifth floor as if nothing had happened.

He limped and walked slowly, but his mood was particularly relaxed.

A faint voice came intermittently from under his feet:

"Gu Xingjian...you'll regret not killing me, you'd better let me live, let me live forever..."

The voice was extremely weak, and there was a faint cough. It was the deputy manager of the first branch, Xu Nan, who was still very lively before.

The real reason why Gu Xingjian had such a hard time walking was because he was dragging Xu Nan's dying body while walking.

Gu Xingjian's eyes were full of light, but unfortunately they were completely swallowed by the darkness. Or maybe he was a person who was completely shrouded in darkness.

Hearing Xu Nan's weeping and hateful words, he chuckled silently. Just as he was about to respond, he frowned and looked up at the ceiling.

It seemed that he realized that two people were plotting something on a certain floor above.

A moment later, Gu Xingjian's seemingly warm face showed a chilling smile:

"Okay, okay, the fish finally took the bait.

I will give you a 'flaw', a flaw that you will remember for the rest of your life."
