Chapter 604 The Mission Begins

The hands on the dial on Luo Xian's wrist turned wildly at this moment, as if they were disturbed by some kind of force.

In the violent shaking, the hour hand finally pointed to the south.

But it only existed for a moment, and the hour hand, minute hand and second hand returned to 7:05.

She frowned slightly, looked at Ji Li, and asked softly:

"Can you see it?"

Luo Xian can become the head of a store, so the reserves of sin objects on her body are naturally diverse, enough to deal with various situations.

For example, this watch is a detection-type sin object.

However, even at her level, she can't observe ghosts directly with the naked eye like Ji Li.

If Ji Li is in normal times, he is inferior to the lowest-level store manager in many aspects, but he is now a gray soul.

The gray in his pupils allows him to capture every breath of ghosts in front of him.

And he did not respond to Luo Xian's words immediately. Facing the sun, he saw a very familiar figure on the south of the mountain road.

It was a short, gray-blue boy standing in the sun.

The ghost boy was still following Ji Li, and released a supernatural aura on the eve of entering Wu'e Village.

It stared at Ji Li from a distance, then slowly raised its tiny arm and pointed its index finger at Ji Li.

This was the scene Ji Li saw, but it only existed for a moment.

After the ghost boy pointed at Ji Li, he disappeared immediately, and the supernatural power of the entire area dissipated without a trace.

Ji Li lowered his head, hiding the confusion in his eyes, so that no one would discover this secret.

Since returning from Shanghai City, the ghost boy has never appeared in person again, but he suddenly appeared on the eve of this mission and pointed at Ji Li.

What is the meaning of this action?

"It is said that you cannot use sin objects, why do you seem to be able to see ghosts now?"

Luo Xian noticed that Ji Li's expression had changed, and came to his side with gift boxes in both hands, asking in confusion.

Ji Li's complexion had returned to normal by now. He took out a cigarette box from his bosom, lit a cigarette, and shook his head and said:

"This ghost has nothing to do with this mission. It came to find me specifically."

Luo Xian carefully observed Ji Li's micro-expressions, but she caught nothing but calmness.

She turned her head and glanced at Pan Ting's body on the ground. At this time, the three sin objects on his body were already in Bai Huaiguang's hands.

Bai Huaiguang's snow-white face was slightly red at this moment. He raised his arm to avoid the direct sunlight and handed the sin objects to Luo Xian:

"Sister, how do you deal with this sin object?"

Luo Xian saw that Bai Huaiguang's eyelashes were trembling under this direct light. She knew that albinos were most afraid of light.

She took out a baseball cap from her bag and put it on Bai Huaiguang's head. After adjusting it, she said softly:

"You and Mingyu each take one, and the last one is for Yu Guofeng."

After hearing this, Chen Wei and Yu Guofeng, who were hiding in the back, completely disappeared from their faces with fear, and instead showed surprise.

In this way, they all have something to save their lives.

In this way, the original team of seven people was reduced to six people before entering Wu'e Village.

And Luo Xian, and even everyone in the sixth branch, tacitly did not mention Ji Li's sudden killing.

Maybe it was because Pan Ting was not welcome, or maybe it was because of the fear of Ji Li, the strange store manager.

...

Few people continued to talk along the way, and in the strange silence, the shadow of Wu'e Village gradually appeared in front of everyone.

Standing on the hillside and looking far away, Wu'e Village is a dark group of buildings.

From a macro perspective, this village can't see anything unusual.

It's just that it is a village under Shanming City after all, so the economy has developed well, and the overall layout of the village is very regular.

From a distance, it can be seen that the village road running through the village is very wide, and the houses are located in a quite orderly manner.

And with Ji Li's eyesight, he has seen five or six figures looking forward to it on the avenue at the entrance of the village.

The mission did not specify Luo Xian's parents' home, probably because when they arrived, someone would naturally greet them.

Those five or six figures must include Luo Xian's "parents and relatives".

The closer they got to Wu'e Village, the less gentle Luo Xian's face was. On the contrary, her steps became more determined, and her face became more serious and indifferent.

Without looking back, she suddenly opened her mouth and instructed:

"The mission is about to begin, all shop assistants act in unison, and no action is allowed without my order!"

This is Luo Xian's personal characteristic. She always clearly distinguishes between missions and life, as if she has two faces.

In life, she is a woman in her twenties, with high literacy and politeness.

But during the mission, her temperament will immediately change to cold and tough, and her rational appearance makes people have to obey.

At this time, the mobile phone in Ji Li's pocket suddenly rang with a buzzing reminder sound.

This is a reminder to check the email.

Ji Li stopped, looked at the village that would arrive in more than ten minutes, and took out his mobile phone.

Under the glare of the sun, the screen was a little dim, and the handwriting on the email was a little difficult to recognize.

After reading it briefly, he put the phone back into his pocket with a normal expression and adjusted the silent mode.

"Did you just receive the task?"

Luo Xian was standing next to Ji Li, and of course she heard the email reminder sound, but she was very surprised why Ji Li only received the task now.

Ji Li did not look at her, but looked ahead and replied calmly:

"Tian Hai asked me to cooperate with you to complete this mission, and will give me a separate benefit afterwards."

Seeing Ji Li's tone was ordinary and casual, Luo Xian certainly would not ask what the benefit was.

She turned around and looked at Ma Mingyu, Bai Huaiguang, Chen Wei and Yu Guofeng behind her, and gave the last explanation before the mission:

"After arriving in the village, everything will be flexible and handle emergencies as appropriate.

Although this mission is the mission of our sixth branch, with the special participation of Manager Ji, the difficulty may also increase dramatically.

Everyone knows my bottom line, and I must not affect the progress of the mission, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."

When saying this, Luo Xian still secretly glanced at Ji Li. Obviously, although she did not talk about it, she still complained about Ji Li's killing of Pan Ting without authorization.

"Manager, don't worry."

The four responded in unison, and at the same time straightened their faces and made all preparations.

The overall quality of the sixth branch is indeed much better than that of the seventh branch.

The strength of a branch depends on the personal qualities of its staff.

Just looking at Chen Wei and Yu Guofeng, the two weakest people in the team, they are not comparable to their counterparts in the seventh branch.

Ji Li was naturally not interested in this, he just walked forward expressionlessly.

At the same time, the gray in his eyes gradually became thinner, and the long hair behind his head began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The changes in this process were seen by everyone.

When Ji Li's appearance returned to normal, Bai Huaiguang behind him found that Ji Li's temperament had changed again.

The gray left the stage, indicating that Ji Li's special mission was about to begin.
