Chapter 217 The proactive Jiang Shangbai, the value of masks
The headquarters has a team that specializes in researching Peace Hotel and "store managers", and has also registered various information in detail.
The ghost security guard and two watchdogs at the door...
The residents in the room on the second floor...
The staff in the store...
< br>
Even the guests who come in and out of the hotel every day...
Almost none of the information that can be collected is left behind.
In the supernatural archives of the "Store Manager" of the Peace Hotel, headed by Lu Zhiwen, there are two large cabinets of paper materials about the Peace Hotel.
As foreign twins, they naturally cannot escape.
The King's organization is not particularly secretive abroad, especially since the manor owner, one of the kings, launched a crazy attack on the ghost master abroad, and it has become increasingly difficult to hide it.
Especially the battle in which the manor owner attacked the twins who were both kings. Not only was the battle shattering, but it also attracted the attention of the world. It even destroyed an entire large city and turned it into ruins.
The little girl in front of me, who can only work as a waitress in the Peace Hotel, has a strength that is almost comparable to the top ghost controllers in the country.
Now that Tong Qian has brought people over, Zhao Jianguo almost didn't sound the alarm directly.
"You can call me Xiao Xi. I am not a king now, I am just a subordinate of the boss." Sylvanas Araus said indifferently.
Unexpectedly, she spoke Mandarin very authentically, as if she had lived in China for decades.
At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded.
Along with the footsteps, there seemed to be a darkness spreading. There was obviously no supernatural attack, but there was a strong sense of oppression.
Sylvanas Araus's plain face was slightly solemn.
Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Since you are a guest of the Peace Hotel, you are also our guest. By the way, you should know, this is Wei Jing, captain of the third team of the headquarters One."
Wei Jing walked out of the darkness, and when he stood there wearing the uniform of the person in charge, Sylvanas Araus felt a sense of uneasiness.
Even the ghost in his body became slightly restless, as if he wanted to escape.
"Of course we know each other. When he came out of the ghost lake, my sister and I carried him to the store."
Zhao Jianguo said: "In that case, then you guys should be good Let’s talk. Wei Jing, this person has helped you, don’t neglect him, understand?”
“Don’t worry, Captain Zhao, I know.”
Wei Ding nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Come with me, sit down in the reception room and drink tea for a while."
Sylvanas Araus looked at him deeply and said, "It seems that you have received a lot of benefits from your boss. Can you tell me about it?"
The two of them went to the reception room. Chatting started.
Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of complaint: "Next time you want to bring such a scary person over, you'd better say hello in advance."
If it weren't for the fact that there was an extra guard at the headquarters Jing, with the current state of Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen, it may be difficult to stabilize the opponent.
The gap in strength cannot be made up by status.
Compared with Wang Xiaoming's ability to control and balance the powerful ghosts, which has the highest success rate in the world but still has a high failure rate, the Peace Hotel's method of improving strength is simple and safe.
The only thing to think about is how to get the "store manager" to help.
Of course, the "store manager" has actually given conditions in this regard, which is the "animal taming" function. As long as enough ghost money is given, the "store manager" can help control the ghosts. , or suppress the evil spirit to the point of death.
You can also spend money to buy ghosts from the "store manager" and then control and suppress them, but this method is relatively expensive.
With the amount of ghost money stored in the headquarters, it is difficult to support a large scale.
It just so happens that Wei Jing's current ability is to unconditionally suppress the evil ghosts with nine quotas, and he also has a strong ghost domain. It is very easy to imprison the evil ghosts.
On the contrary, Wei Jing staying at the headquarters is the biggest waste of his strength.
When the time comes, use Wei Jing to collect resources, and first strengthen Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen, two direct descendants of the headquarters...
Zhao Jianguo's thoughts flew away instantly, but he also Without delaying work, he took Tong Qian to the conference room, where Cao Yanhua was already waiting.
Tong Qian was also a little unhappy, but she did not refute Zhao Jianguo's words.
The two of them came to the conference room like this. Cao Yanhua waved his hand and refused the time-wasting politeness, and said directly: "Let's talk about the specific situation."
Tong Qian nodded, and then reported Zhang Xianguang's reaction to Dachuan. The report was made on the city's situation without any personal opinions.
This is also her biggest benefit.
Being able to be impartial when reporting work, without bias or inadvertent omission of information due to personal emotions, is one of the reasons why the headquarters trusts her so much.
Of course.
She made a special explanation at the end, "The 'store manager' originally asked Xiao Xi to buy masks to prevent the epidemic. I took the initiative to ask Ying to follow her. Without her, I might not have been able to come out."
Zhao Jianguo I knew this was a deliberate explanation to myself, but I didn't react much.
Cao Yanhua glanced at the two of them, and then said: "You take a rest here first."
"Yes, Deputy Minister."
Soon someone else arrived. Over here was Wang Xiaoming, who had been called out of the laboratory. He had just taken off his work clothes.
Taking off the sterile gloves and putting them on the table, Wang Xiaoming glanced at Tong Qian, "How is the investigation of the situation in Dachuan City?"
"After getting Tong Qian's report just now, I have already asked someone to investigate. There will be news soon."
Not long after Cao Yanhua finished speaking, Lu Zhiwen knocked on the door and walked in, "I passed by the command center when I came here and brought the information from Dachuan City."
Lu Zhiwen brought many copies, enough for each person present.
Tong Qian anxiously took the file and looked at it. Just a few simple data made her feel a little heavier.
"Half a month ago, Dachuan City began to refuse the entry of tourists from outside the city. At the same time, there is a huge outflow of people every day. These people left Dachuan City and entered other cities. They did not cause any trouble and did not want to go back. Okawa City, but why You can’t give a reason for leaving Dachuan City? In other words, the supernatural events in Dachuan City started half a month ago?”
Cao Yanhua’s face was very ugly, “It’s been like this for half a month. Huge population movement, no one noticed anything unusual ?”
“Perhaps he was aware of it, but was affected by some supernatural force, so he didn’t report it, or simply forgot about it.”
Wang Xiaoming’s guess made Cao Yanhua’s face even more ugly. Professor Wang, what you mean is, big Li Leping, the person in charge of Sichuan City, single-handedly promoted this supernatural incident? A few days ago, I contacted Li Leping and asked him to help find traces of Liu Qingqing. If things are as you guessed, Professor Wang, then Liu Qingqing is in danger. ”
Li Leping.
A strange but familiar name, the person in charge of Dachuan City, but when someone tried to recall Li Leping's appearance, they all came up blank.
This situation is obviously abnormal.
Lu Zhiwen knocked on his head, "There is no supernatural archive of Li Leping in the headquarters' paranormal archives. But now it is basically certain that Li Leping has controlled the ghost in consciousness. It may be Forgetting can also be changing the memory... No, the newspaper ghost who changed the memory is now imprisoned by the headquarters, and the ghost newspaper ghost is also in the Peace Hotel. The ghost he controls should not change the memory, so it is forgetting? "
If it is the supernatural effect of forgetting, it can explain the current situation.
"In any case, it has been confirmed that a large-scale supernatural event occurred in Dachuan City, but to what extent it is specific and what role Li Leping played in it, we still need to understand it carefully, but we can also send people there. Well, if there is another S-class supernatural incident, it will be troublesome.”
Cao Yanhua thought: "It just so happens that the captain's meeting is about to be held. The people in charge who are interested in the headquarters and have sufficient strength have basically arrived, and some people can be arranged to handle it."
The situation in Dachuan City is unknown. Although it is tense, it is not yet As for getting the entire headquarters moving.
Arranging some reserve captains to deal with it is enough to respect this possible supernatural incident, and Tong Qian also said another thing:
"The store is recruiting people. Although the store manager has not specified a time for this matter, it needs to be done as soon as possible, otherwise he will post a recruitment notice, just like when we entered the Peace Hotel."
Cao Yanhua nodded, "There will be a captain meeting tomorrow. , this matter will be arranged after the captain meeting, so that I can find some helpers for you. Professor Wang and I still have to discuss the list, don’t worry.”
There is a hotel not far from the headquarters, called Ping An Hotel, which is also a hotel specially used by the headquarters to arrange accommodation for people in charge returning from other places.
Ghost-eyed Yang Jian...
Paper man Liu San...
Ghost thief Zhou Deng...
Ghost stepping on man Jiang Shangbai...
A group of invited leaders gathered in this hotel, originally waiting for the captain's meeting tomorrow, but this day was not peaceful.
The people who were notified gathered in a conference room on the third floor, each sitting in a place, waiting for someone to come from the headquarters.
Zhou Deng's eyes were wandering, and he kept looking at everyone standing there.
Needless to say, Yang Jian is a young man with terrible luck. He has mastered the ghost eyes and the ghost clothes specially made by the "store manager". His strength is unknown, but it is definitely not something ordinary people can deal with.
What Liu San came to was a paper man, and he didn’t know whether it was a real person or a fake one, but the latter was more likely. Jiang Shangbai's face was pale, and his whole body exuded a cold and decaying aura. He seemed to be about to resurrect as a ghost, and his condition was very poor.
That’s not right!
The last time I saw Jiang Shangbai, this guy was still in good condition?
Zhou Deng was very confused. It happened that Jiang Shangbai noticed his eyes looking over at this moment. Just one glance, and the indifferent and crazy look in his eyes made Zhou Deng almost jump.
"I'm afraid this guy is almost on the verge of recovery. You can't mess with him, you can't mess with him..."
He had thought not to provoke Jiang Shangbai, but Jiang Shangbai was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Now that Zhou Deng bumped into him, he would not be polite.
As soon as he stood up, the eyes of everyone present gathered.
"I didn't like the way he looked at me just now. Now I want to beat him up. You can stop me, but please consider the consequences."
After Jiang Shangbai finished speaking, he took a big step He walked towards Zhou Deng.
Zhou Deng was startled. He didn't expect Jiang Shangbai to be even more irritable than he thought. He subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately, neither Yang Jian nor the paper man Liu San had any intention of helping.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Deng cursed in his heart, but he was not afraid. He even looked at Jiang Shangbai provocatively, "If you want to beat me up, then come here. Let's see if you have the ability."
“Hmph!”
Jiang Shangbai is a ruthless person and doesn’t talk much. Since Zhou Deng is provocative, he will not be polite.
But before he and Zhou Deng could take action, Wei Jing suddenly appeared between the two of them, putting his hands on Jiang Shangbai and Zhou Deng respectively, "If you want to fight, wait until I send the police to the headquarters. Fight after the order is conveyed.”
Jiang Shangbai's pupils shrank suddenly.
Because when Wei Jing put his hand on his shoulder, all the ghosts in his body fell silent. Even if they were on the verge of resurrecting, they had no power to resist under Wei Jing's power, just like that. He was suppressed unreasonably.
Moreover, wasn’t Wei Jing dead? Why did he suddenly come back to life and his strength is so terrifying?
Yang Jian and Liu San also stood up and stared at Wei Jing strangely. They had both witnessed Wei Jing's sacrifice for the truth and witnessed Wei Jing's death.
Now a dead person appears in front of him, and his strength seems a bit familiar, which has to be shocking.
"Wei Jing, were you not dead at that time? Or did you come back to life through some means?" Liu San's eyes flickered, but he was still very restrained and did not ask Wei Jing about the powerful suppressive force suspected of being a ghost lake.
Could it be that this Wei Jing was a blessing in disguise and actually stole part of the ghost lake’s supernatural power?
How powerful Ghost Lake is, they have all experienced it personally. If part of Ghost Lake's supernatural power is stolen, what level will Wei Jing's power reach?
Yang Jian wanted more. He stared at the faint darkness on Wei Jing's body and whispered one word: "Ghost?"
Wei Jing looked at it Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "I don't know if I really died, but when I woke up I was at the Peace Hotel. The store manager should have saved me. You guessed it right, the supernatural power in my body should also be What the store manager gave me was a ghostly spirit.”
I see!
Although Jiang Shangbai has not experienced the Huanggang Village incident, after the ghost became a security guard at the Peace Hotel, his supernatural information was also placed on the side of the Peace Hotel, and he has also seen it.
As long as Gui Cha has enough quota, he can unconditionally suppress Li Gui.
As of now, it seems that no fierce ghost can escape the suppression of ghosts. Even the ones with higher supernatural power need to add a few more places at most.
As long as the upper limit of ghost suppression quota is not exceeded, the most terrifying ghost can only be imprisoned by ghosts.
In this way, it got the name of ghost!
Now that Wei Jing has a part of Gui Cha's power, it seems to be no worse than the supernatural power that he stole from Gui Lake, but more unreasonable and terrifying.
"Congratulations to you, now you should be called Guizha Wei Jing."
Wei Jing said expressionlessly: "It's just a coincidence. Let's get down to business. , there is a problem in Dachuan City, it is suspected to be a large-scale supernatural incident. Tomorrow is the captain's meeting, but everyone here..."
Glancing at Zhou Deng beside him, Wei Jing continued: "Basically, everything is happening. He is the appointed captain, and we will just go through a process tomorrow. Now there is a problem in Dachuan City, and we need one or two people to come and provide support.”
Is there something wrong in Okawa City?
Dachuan City is no stranger to everyone present, because Liu Qingqing, one of the three chefs of the Peace Hotel, disappeared in Dachuan City. The headquarters also asked Li Leping, the person in charge of Dachuan City, to find Liu Qingqing. Traces of Qingqing.
It's good now that Liu Qingqing hasn't been found yet, but a supernatural incident has occurred in Dachuan City. This has to make people doubt the relationship between this supernatural incident and Liu Qingqing.
Of course, there is the most important point.
"If I remember correctly, Li Leping is also one of the captains appointed by the headquarters. His strength will definitely not be bad. If even he can't solve it and only one or two people pass by, there will really be a chance. Effective? ”
Facing Yang Jian's inquiry, Wei Jing said: "The headquarters has contacted Li Leping through satellite positioning mobile phone. Although his current condition is not very good, there is no big problem. Due to Li Gui's rules, he only needs someone to support him. , he will be sure to handle this supernatural incident. "
With the satellite positioning mobile phone, the headquarters will naturally contact Li Leping, and everyone was relieved by the information they received.
Otherwise, this kind of supernatural incident that may affect an entire first-tier city will also involve a captain. Even if the captain goes to support, it is impossible to send only one person there.
"In that case, let me go, but I need to calculate the credit this time and exchange some resources."
Jiang Shangbai was the first to speak. His current condition is very poor.
A few days ago, when he went to the Peace Hotel for dinner, he invested all his savings in exchange for strong security guarantees, hoping to get rid of Fang Shiming who was hiding in the Ping An Building.
But what’s the result?
Fang Shiming, who had obviously been crippled by the "store manager" and was the last ghost left, showed terrifying strength.
Even if he controls two fierce ghosts, he still can't do anything against each other.
If he hadn’t exchanged the wish for the lucky cat and the supernatural guardian of the ghost piano, plus a scapegoat doll, maybe he would have fallen into Fang Shiming’s hands!
There was obviously only one ghost left, but Fang Shiming seemed to be more powerful, like a real evil ghost.
Fortunately, Fang Shiming was on the verge of the ghost's resurrection. He was powerful but also faced the threat of death, so he had a chance to escape.
Now Fang Shiming has left Pingan Building and doesn’t know where he went.
Jiang Shangbai was very worried that Fang Shiming would find him and die together before he died, and his nerves were always in a tense state. This was the reason why he had conflicted with Zhou Deng with just one glance.
Now that his supernatural protection has not ended yet, it is time to put it to full use. Naturally, he has to save more credits so that he can seek some resources from the headquarters, and then take them to the Peace Hotel in exchange for the continuation of his life.
Compared with Wang Xiaoming's low success rate method, Lin Yuan, the "store manager" of the Peace Hotel, is more convincing.
"In that case, let me go there too. I happen to be very interested in Li Leping." Paperman Liu San also volunteered.
But it is unknown whether he is interested in Li Leping, Liu Qingqing, or the Peace Hotel.
Yang Jian’s eyes flickered, but in the end he did not speak.
Due to the emergence of the Peace Hotel, his growth has been much slower than in the original work. Now he has too few cards, and he has experienced the Ghost Lake incident in Taiping Ancient Town. Now he is eager to improve his strength, and Not to participate in unknown supernatural events.
"Perhaps, I should listen to the advice of the human skin and go back to my hometown. There seems to be something I need there."
After the candidates were determined, Wei Jing took the two of them away and went to the headquarters to learn the relevant information. Then... hit the road.
The person who can be confirmed as the captain has no doubt about his strength.
A small passenger plane took off from Dajing City, carrying Jiang Shangbai and Liu San to Dachuan City, with no other accompanying persons.
It seems that the situation in Okawa City can be solved with only the support of two captains.
Tong Qian was a little worried about this, but she could only choose to believe in the headquarters, and she didn't have much time to waste. She quickly returned to the Peace Hotel with the sister of the King twins with the mask supported by the headquarters.
"Thank you."
On the way back, Tong Qian thanked her softly, which made Xiao Xi, the sister of the king twins, look at her in surprise, "He Yuelian is right, you are indeed You are a good person. Fortunately, you met the store manager. Otherwise, if you were not a tool for others to take advantage of, you would have died."
Tong Qian also smiled in surprise: "I rarely listen to this. You have said so many things, but you are right. I do have flaws in my character. Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention to it in the future.”
It didn’t mention “store manager”, it was. Deliberate neglect.
Xiao Xi took a deep look at her and said nothing more. At this moment, they had returned to the Peace Hotel, and naturally she would not talk any more as she turned back into a little gorilla.
“Boss, I got the masks back.”
Tong Qian handed over the masks, there were five hundred in total.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the news of the epidemic in Dachuan City has not spread yet, otherwise the masks would not be so easy to buy. By the way, how much is the total, I will transfer it to you."
< br>Wait!
The world is different, and the value of banknotes is also different. These masks shouldn’t cost 50 cents each, right?
Tong Qian waved her hands quickly, "No, no, these masks are not worth anything."
Lin Yuan said sternly: "One code equals one code. This is what the store needs. Why? Can you spend your own money? Tell me the amount and I'll give it to you."
Tong Qian said helplessly, "Okay, fifty cents is really not expensive."
Lin. Yuan stiffened, "How much?"
