Chapter 443 The Beginning of a New Mission

The sound of the wind on the other end of the phone became more and more fierce. The strange woman just cried after she said this.

She cried so hard that it made people feel uncomfortable.

Ji Li was silent.

He hardly knew any outsiders. This woman came so suddenly, but she said his name in one word.

Then there was only one possibility, she was related to the upcoming mission.

His thoughts returned to the key and strange five words:

"The Seventh Spirit Detective Agency"

Ji Li took a puff of cigarette and waved to the woman, signaling her to leave.

Then he replied in a flat tone: "How did you know my name?"

The crying on the other end of the phone gradually stopped, and the woman said in a hoarse voice:

"I found the flyer you distributed at the end of the street.

Aren't you an agency that detects supernatural events?"

Ji Li's mind moved, and it was just as he thought.

The woman's call foreshadowed the beginning of the next mission.

Their seventh branch's identity in the next mission was called "The Seventh Spirit Detective Agency".

Its members should be similar to psychic detectives, dedicated to solving mysterious events.

And he, the store manager, was called the detective.

After confirming this, Ji Li no longer had more resistance to women, but was very interested.

"You found the right person, so what type of service do you want to consult?"

Ji Li has been out of society for a long time, but he has definitely watched a lot of movies and TV series, especially suspense films.

Among them are detective-type films, so the relevant words are naturally familiar.

But this time the silent person was replaced by the strange woman.

In the silence, it seemed that the sound of wind and crying disappeared, leaving only nothingness.

But the phone was not hung up. Ji Li frowned, and he was a little confused about what happened to the other party.

After waiting for a minute, Ji Li looked at the screen again suspiciously.

The strange number was still showing a call, but it was too quiet.

Ji Li tried to ask again:

"Madam, are you still there?"

However, when he asked this question, the mechanical hang-up prompt sounded.

The call was completely hung up amid Ji Li's further probing.

Ji Li's gray eyes were full of confusion, and he quietly looked at his phone, which had been turned off, not knowing how to understand it.

The call for help from a strange woman in the middle of the night named the role he would play in the next mission, but it was interrupted without any further instructions.

And what Ji Li could be sure of was that it was not that Tianhai Hotel terminated the call out of rules to prevent clues from being exposed in advance.

It was the woman who hung up the phone herself.

Of course, there might be another possibility, that is, she was murdered.

Unfortunately, with the distance of communication, Ji Li had no idea what happened to her.

And why would she seek help from a "psychic detective agency".

In this era, unless you have experienced a supernatural event yourself or are forced into a desperate situation,

who would believe the ridiculous ghost-hunting agency on the advertisement at the end of the street?

This call, from its absurd beginning to its hasty ending, was too weird.

Ji Li took back his phone and slowly walked back to the chair on the first floor where he often sat to keep watch.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind never stopped, constantly recalling.

…

The pointer on the wall moved to three o'clock.

In the bedroom, a man with his legs spread out and his thighs exposed outside the quilt was sleeping soundly.

He might be very tired, his saliva dripped on the pillowcase.

And then, his head suddenly began to tremble involuntarily, followed by a burst of severe pain.

The man frowned in pain, and the vibration and severe pain woke him up from his sleep.

Finally, he had no chance to immerse himself in a beautiful dream, and he sat up straight on the bed with a start.

After his eyes were dull for a moment, his mouth pouted into an "O" shape, and he immediately got down and hugged his thigh.

"Damn, I have a cramp!"

After jumping twice in place, he just aimed his eyes under the pillow.

That was the source of the vibration: a phone call.

The man looked at the time and couldn't help but get angry. He jumped back to the bed and cursed:

"Who is so immoral to stay up at three in the middle of the night!"

When he picked up the phone, he didn't recognize which acquaintance's number it was.

He hesitated for a moment and finally chose to answer it, but his tone was furious:

"Who am I talking about? Can't I call you tomorrow if I have something to do? How can you..."

But slowly, he couldn't continue his complaints.

Because there was a woman on the other end of the phone.

She said something weird...

The man, who was only wearing shorts, shuddered, then grabbed the phone and rushed out of the room.

...

"Ji Li! Where have you been? Something happened!"

Ji Li, who had been on the first floor for several hours, was enjoying the quiet when suddenly a noise came from upstairs.

This made him frown slightly and said coldly:

"I'm on the first floor."

Not long after, Yu Guo, who was only wearing underwear, holding a mobile phone, and looking nervous, appeared in front of him.

When he saw Ji Li, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"Why don't you sleep every night and always go to the first floor to sit for what? Guard the gate?"

Ji Li calmly grabbed the cigarette box on the table, glanced at the naked body, and said calmly:

"Guarding the gate is better than running around naked in the middle of the night."

Yu Guo was about to fight back, but when he thought of what happened just now, he knew that business was more important, so he explained:

"Aren't I anxious? A strange woman called me just now.

He said he was looking for the Seventh Spirit Detective Agency and asked me if I was an agent there.

The tone was dry and the voice was as cold as a female ghost. I was in a daze of sleep and I still haven't recovered.

But then I thought about it, isn’t the Seventh Spirit Detection Station the Seventh Branch..."

Yu Guo still couldn't get rid of his habit of talking too much, but Ji Li didn't interrupt him this time.

Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he conscientiously extracted what happened from Yu Guo's messy information.

Like him, Yu Guo received a late-night call for help from a woman.

But there are similarities and differences.

They all threatened to look for the Seventh Spirit Detective Agency, and they all got their contact information from the advertisements at the end of the street.

And they always ended with the other party hanging up after they asked what happened.

It can be said that what happened is exactly the same.

However, the woman who called Ji Li was in grief and had lost the ability to control her emotions;

The woman who called Yu Guo was so rational and calm that she didn't look like a living person.

It wasn't until Ji Li completely refined the key points that Yu Guo hadn't finished speaking.

Ji Li couldn't help it, this matter was definitely no small matter.

As long as you receive a call for help, you will most likely be the person to perform the next mission.

Ji Li is the first and Yu Guo is the second, so there must be more people who will receive the call.

He had to listen to the caller's voice to determine whether the calls were made by the same person.

Thinking of this, Ji Li tapped the table, interrupted Yu Guo's speech, and said to the ceiling:

"Call all the store staff for me and come to the conference room to meet in five minutes.

People who are not in the branch are in contact with each other, and no matter what happens to them, they must return at full speed. "

Happy New Year's Eve, I wish you all are as prosperous as Yu Guo and have new underwear to wear every day!
