Chapter 347: The e-sports room exploded, returning to Taiping Ancient Town
After sending Wei Jing away, Cao Yanhua looked at the people in the conference room again, feeling very headache.
Sitting in the conference room now are Cao Yang, Zhang Lei, Zhou Deng, Su Fan, Li Leping, Liu San, as well as Li Jun and A Hong.
There are five captain-level figures!
Fortunately, the number of supernatural incidents across the country has been declining during this period. Otherwise, if the five captains had been staying at the headquarters, other places would have been out of control.
Talk about it.
I would like to thank the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" a lot. The ghost bus runs to the Peace Hotel three times a day, sending a few or even a dozen ghosts there every day.
It not only increased the performance of the Peace Hotel, but also solved many supernatural incidents in reality.
According to the news they received from the people in charge in various places, after some supernatural incidents broke out, before they could solve them, they found a bus rushing in. After the bus left, that The ghost disappeared.
The existence of the Peace Hotel has effectively alleviated the outbreak of supernatural incidents in the country.
This is also the main reason why Cao Yanhua did not drive the five captains back to their respective territories, but he never let go of his vigilance towards the Peace Hotel.
Especially now.
“Tell me about you, a group of captains and persons in charge of the headquarters, who are famous outsiders, but now you are fighting over who can go play games at night. What do you call this? What's this? !"
At the end, Cao Yanhua slapped the table, "Look at Wei Jing, he is the first to take the initiative to complete the task, and look at you!"
Unfortunately, no matter how angry Cao Yanhua is, his deterrence to these captains and those in charge is limited.
Who makes him just an ordinary person?
That is to say, the current social order has not been completely destroyed by the evil ghosts. When that time comes, there may be a terrible situation where powerful ghost controllers separat one side!
However, as a nephew, Cao Yang could not bear to leave Cao Yanhua in the cold. He raised his hand and whispered: "Old Wei got the most points in the game last night. It is normal to give up the opportunity today, otherwise he will "He is jealous."
Cao Yanhua was stunned, "What is your name, Old Wei?" !" Cao Yang closed his mouth with a silly smile and stopped talking.
Cao Yanhua's anger became much smoother.
Glancing at a few people, Li Jun immediately said: "Minister Cao, you know me. I will not spend the night at the Peace Hotel, nor will I play virtual games."
Simple Say:
I am here to make soy sauce, don’t set fire on me!
Ahong nodded repeatedly beside Li Jun, like a little daughter-in-law. Cao Yanhua couldn't help but said: "It seems that the store manager is right, you really look like a couple. If you are willing , you can try it first, after all, life is short, it’s good to experience more of it.”
What?
Li Jun and A Hong looked at each other, the latter lowered his head, while the former had a head full of black lines, "Minister Cao, don't talk nonsense, it will make A Hong unhappy. We are just for To adapt to the identity and relationship in front of the store manager, please ask the deputy minister not to make any mistakes, so as not to ruin A Hong’s reputation.”
The smile on A Hong’s face froze and she could no longer smile.
Cao Yanhua looked at Li Jun like an idiot, but did not continue talking. As for Li Jun... He glanced at A Hong and sighed secretly.
He is just an upright person, which does not mean that he is stupid or has no vision.
"I'll go out for a patrol."
Li Jun stood up and left to avoid being too embarrassed to stay, but Ahong didn't stay either, saying "I'll go too" and followed him out.
People were coming and going in the corridor outside the conference room.
These are ordinary civilian personnel, and none of them have any supernatural powers. There is no fear in their eyes when they look at Li Jun and A Hong, but only admiration and admiration.
"You enjoy this feeling very much?" A Hong asked softly from behind.
Li Jun shook his head, but did not stop moving forward. While nodding friendly to the others, he replied: "It's not enjoyment, but liking. At least this can show that I am neither a human nor a ghost." , and it can also be of some use to society.”
People are not humans, ghosts are not ghosts?
A Hong paused, looked at Li Jun’s back, stroked her delicate face that was so beautiful that it seemed fake, and whispered: "If you really want to say that people are neither human nor ghosts, in fact, Me too.”
For the first time, she felt extremely disgusted with her face.
Li Jun sighed, "It's still a little different. Maybe I only have consciousness and myself in my whole body now. To tell the truth, this body is actually just a skin bag held up by a ball of will-o'-the-wisp. Like a living human skin lantern. How can a person like me be qualified to fall in love? Ah Hong, you are still young and you still have a chance. Don’t look for someone like me in the future.”
A Hong did not answer, not because she was persuaded by Li Jun, but because she heard the persistence in Li Jun's words, "My ghost makeup will be useful to you."
Li Jun choked on his words and sighed. : "Then I'll trouble you."
"I help you put on makeup and you protect me. It's a fair deal." A Hong showed a bright smile, hiding her true heart.
What they didn’t know was that Cao Yang and others in the conference room watched all their conversations.
“Isn’t it inappropriate for us to peek into other people’s privacy like this?” Zhou Deng looked away and asked with some embarrassment.
Liu San glanced at him, "You are right. In order to avoid this inappropriateness, we can extract the memory you just had."
"Ha! Are you scaring me?"
< br>Zhou Deng immediately jumped up and stared at Liu San warily.
"Okay, what happened just now was just an accident. Let's discuss who will stay at the Peace Hotel for the night." Cao Yanhua sighed.
The more he manages these people, the more he becomes unable to do so.
Li Leping suddenly asked: "Will the headquarters provide resources?"
Cao Yanhua pursed his lips, glanced at everyone present and stood up directly, "You guys can talk among yourselves. As long as there is no fight, everything will be easy to discuss."< br>
Obviously, the headquarters does not plan to pay room fees for a few people.
The one with the ugliest face was Su Fan. There was nothing he could do. He was the weakest among the people present, and he really wanted to imprison at least four ghosts by himself. He might be able to do it. Not to mention the cost, at least it cannot be completed in half a day.
In other words, he has withdrawn from tonight's room competition.
When e-sports rooms and virtual games first appeared, the headquarters would also provide some ghosts as support, but now...
There are only 4 e-sports rooms, and now there are more than 4 people who want to play games.
How can the headquarters provide resource support again?
As for getting a few people at the scene to support me... it's impossible.
"Although the ghosts I control have the ability to predict the future, given their strength and in the game, they are rarely used..."
For a moment, Su Fan was extremely frustrated.
No one here cared about him. Determining the ownership of the virtual game at night was what they needed to do most now.
Cao Yang, Li Leping, Liu San, Zhang Lei, and Zhou Deng.
Now there are five people, and one person needs to be asked to quit, but looking at the expressions of these people, it is obvious that no one is willing to quit.
Moreover, they also have the ability to spend at least four ghosts as room and breakfast expenses.
"Since no one is willing to quit, let's use the most direct method of the ghost controller. The strong ones go and the weak ones wait. How about it?"
Liu San put forward his own opinion.
Zhang Lei frowned and said: "This idea is correct. If you want to get more points in the game, strength is the foundation. But how to determine it? It can't be said that it is based on the identity of the captain, right?"
Zhou Deng was the first to disagree, "Since it is strength, it is hard power. Captain is just a position in the headquarters, which is related to strength, but not absolute."
Liu San Looking over, "Bibi?"
Zhou Deng laughed. He would not back down now. If he really thought he was a thief, would he not have the strength to confront him head-on?
Not to mention anything else, there are so many supernatural items on his body.
Even if there are side effects, he is still sure to create a big terror before the side effects harm himself!
"We can't start a fight. Even though Minister Cao has left now, our conversation is definitely being monitored. If there is really a tendency to start a fight, I'm afraid someone will stop us in the next moment." Li Leping saw it clearly and was also reminding Liu San.
This guy is too dangerous and has a bad temper. If he is not warned, he may do inappropriate things on impulse.
Cao Yang said: "We can use other methods. How about we try our luck?"
Li Leping and Zhang Lei did not speak, but just looked at Liu San, while Zhou Deng said carelessly: "My Luck has always been good."
Liu San finally said, "How to fight?"
"It's easy."
Cao Yang left the conference room and returned after a while. He walked back and placed a box in his hand on the conference table.
"This is a deck of playing cards specially made of gold, so it cannot be affected by supernatural beings, and it only has the same suit, so there is no need to worry about the suit. Each of us draws a card, and the four people with the highest cards will participate in tonight's game. , how?"
"Okay."
"That's it."
Five hands... No, six hands stretched out and grabbed a card each.
Liu San did not look at the cards immediately, "Su Fan, do you have enough ghosts in your hand?"
"No, but I am here too, so I should be qualified to open the cards. If you say no, then I'll leave immediately." Su Fan looked at the cards in his hand and closed them again.
Cao Yang smiled and said: "How come, everyone is the person in charge of the headquarters, so naturally they have the same opportunities."
"It's very smart. I want to sell one after drawing the card. Is there a chance? I like this, don't worry, if I need to buy a place, I will definitely give you a good price." Zhou Deng welcomed Su Fan the most. As the person who most wants to be a kryptonian, Zhou Deng said that the more people like Su Fan, the better!
Su Fan nodded and turned the card over. On it was the Queen of Spades, "Then you can think about how much you are prepared to pay."
...
Over Zhongzhou City.
The Ghost Lake has submerged this place, and the entire Zhongzhou City has been buried at the bottom of the lake. Only a few relatively tall buildings with a few floors are exposed on the lake, and they look like they are growing out of the lake. It's the same as several floors.
A black light flashed, and Wei Jing appeared on the top floor of a building.
"I haven't been here for two months. There seem to be some new changes here." Wei Jing looked around and did not rush to the location of Taiping Ancient Town immediately.
Cao Yanhua’s questioning voice came from the earphones: "What changes? Are there ghosts wandering around?"
"The ghost lake will drown the ghosts, and if ghosts really enter again, they will be introduced. The fish pond at the Peace Hotel has turned into a bunch of fish, shrimps, crabs, etc., and they will not stay here. The change I am talking about is that the lake here looks clearer. There is speculation that the source of the ghost lake may have been destroyed. Moving to the Peace Hotel, even if there is a passage, it will still have an impact. "
The water in Ghost Lake has always been very turbid, and it is accompanied by the stench of decay.
Only when we are at the Peace Hotel, the ghost lake that has become a fish pond will look so ordinary, like a real fish pond.
But at the site in Zhongzhou City, the Ghost Lake has always remained the same.
The same applies to the waterfall in the sky that is nearly a hundred meters high but flows backwards. This kind of wonder, even if it possesses terrifying supernatural power, makes Wei Jing very emotional.
The power that the "store manager" inadvertently displays is like a god raising his hand to move mountains, making it difficult for people to feel confrontational.
"You mean, the ghost lake over there in Zhongzhou City may return to normal and turn into an ordinary lake?" Cao Yanhua's voice was very excited.
Wei Jing shook his head, "Ghost Lake extradites the ghosts from reality to the fish pond of the Peace Hotel. This is the rule set by the store manager. Unless the store manager's strength declines and he cannot maintain this supernatural power, he will never Nothing will change. And this situation is not necessarily a good thing.”
Cao Yanhua had no reason to refute.
After the Peace Hotel appeared, although its power exceeded everyone's expectations, it was like a high-ranking god in the human world.
But I have to admit it.
Since the emergence of the "store manager", especially since the Peace Hotel has continued to improve, the frequency of domestic supernatural incidents has been decreasing.
The S-class supernatural incident that could destroy the country in the West was easily solved after the "store manager" took action, and even became a means to solve the supernatural incident.
Ghost buses are like this.
The same goes for Ghost Lake.
“You are right, it is best for Ghost Lake to maintain its status quo. Since there is no problem with Ghost Lake, let’s go to Taiping Ancient Town and have a look. Although Tong Qian was a little reckless today, but He Liansheng, an older generation leader, The ghost is about to die, and his funeral affairs must be taken care of, and He Yin'er cannot be allowed to mess around."
Wei Jing glanced in the direction of Taiping Ancient Town, "I can't guarantee that I can stabilize He Yin'er. And she is a member of the Peace Hotel. If she calls the store manager, I will be in trouble."
His situation is somewhat similar to that of He Yin'er, both of whom got it from the "store manager." Comes from the members of the Peace Hotel, or the supernatural beings of Jigsaw.
What he got was an arm from Gui Cha, which gave him the quota to suppress nine fierce ghosts without any brain.
At the beginning, he was unable to use the Ghost Realm. It was not until he entered the game that he broke through his own limits twice. Even if the suppression quota in reality did not increase, he was able to use the Ghost Realm. Domain is much more powerful.
What He Yin'er got was the fourth level of ghosts in the ghost lake, which could submerge and suppress the ghosts just like the ghost lake.
In terms of nature, the two supernatural beings are somewhat similar.
But to say who is stronger and who is weaker, you can only know through comparison. Wei Jing was being humble just now, and Cao Yanhua also knew it, but he still fell into silence.
Just because of what Wei Jing said next.
If there really was a fight over He Liansheng's matter, He Yin'er would directly call the "store manager" for support. When the "store manager" came over and saw someone beating her female clerk, it was the one she had helped. Men, what would you think?
For the sake of Wei Jing's safety, Cao Yanhua said: "Let's go and see the situation first before talking."
"Okay."
Wei Jinghuahong headed towards Taiping Ancient Town And go.
This was once a tourist town that Zhongzhou City worked hard to build. Unfortunately, even Zhongzhou City has been flooded. Taiping Ancient Town, as the source, is naturally not immune.
Fortunately, there is still one end of the archway that enters the ghost street above the water.
Wei Jing directly showed the ghost domain invasion and quickly entered the ghost street, and finally saw clearly the current situation of the ghost street.
The ghost street was also flooded.
Especially near the entrance archway, the water level has submerged the old houses on the left and right, and only a sharp point can be seen.
However, the streets of Ghost Street seem to be on an upward trend, so this flooding did not submerge the entire Ghost Street.
The farther back you go, the less the buildings on both sides are flooded.
Towards the end of the Ghost Street, the water in the Ghost Lake has completely turned into a thin layer of water vapor on the ground.
Wei Jing stood on the roof of a half-flooded house, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
"Young man coming in from outside? It seems that the water level of Ghost Lake has dropped, can you go out?" came a slightly surprised voice.
Wei Jing turned around and saw a middle-aged woman looking at him with joy.
This middle-aged woman seemed to be wearing very thick clothes, and her body looked a little bloated. She was standing on a roof, holding a wooden basin on her side, and she could vaguely see several pieces of clothing inside.
Wei Jing frowned.
Although he has experienced the Taiping Ancient Town incident, he is not particularly clear about the situation in Taiping Ancient Town, including the middle-aged woman in front of him.
But to be able to appear here, he is definitely not a simple person. "I am Wei Jing, captain of the Dajing City Headquarters, and I am He Yin'er's colleague. Is she back?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, but had no intention of paying attention to Wei Jing. Instead, she stepped on the roof and headed towards the archway.
Wei Jing watched her leave, then turned back and started looking for the location of the ancestral hall.
Soon, he found an old ancestral hall behind the main street. You could see from the gate of this ancestral hall that it was not submerged by the lake.
However, looking at the marks on the door, the water level should have dropped recently, because at the bottom of the wooden door, there are obvious signs of being soaked in water for a long time.
Wei Jing stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
"The response from the headquarters is faster than I thought."
Wei Jing turned around and saw He Yin'er walking across the water. It was a lake that could sink supernatural beings, but she stepped directly on the lake without any intention of sinking.
On the roof nearby, there is a middle-aged woman with a gloomy and unhappy face. She must have returned with He Yin'er, but she did not dare to touch the lake water.
“Tong Qian reported the situation, and the headquarters took it seriously, so she asked me to come and take a look.”
He Yin'er said unceremoniously: "This is my family matter, so I won't bother the headquarters. Guard, you can leave. It is not convenient for Taiping Ancient Town to receive guests recently."
Wei Jing shook his head, " If the water level of the Ghost Lake does not drop, I will definitely return to the headquarters without saying a word. However, you should have also discovered that the water level of the Ghost Lake can no longer completely submerge Taiping Ancient Town. If He Lian dies and Li Gui resurrects, he will probably leave Taiping. A supernatural incident occurred in the ancient town. I didn’t come here to intervene, just as a precaution. If necessary, I can help with some chores.”
Wei Jing’s attitude was very good, which made He Yin. Er felt a lot more comfortable, "Even if that time comes, I will take care of my grandfather's funeral affairs. Since you are unwilling to leave, then...Uncle Liu, please entertain the guests."
"Okay, your surname is Wei? Why don't you come and take a rest in my shop? Don't worry, you are Yin'er's customer and I won't charge you today." Boss Liu walked out from the corner.
He had a bright smile on his face. This smile was very professional and obviously trained.
Wei Jing was shocked. He didn't realize there were other people there just now. This Taiping Ancient Town was indeed very dangerous. There were many old guys hidden inside, and their strength should not be underestimated.
After Boss Liu left with Wei Jing, He Yin'er came to the door of the ancestral hall. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened the door and walked in.
She had already adjusted her emotions before, otherwise Wei Jing would not have come earlier than her.
The heavy door of the ancestral hall was pushed open. He Yin'er took a deep breath and walked into the place where she had played since she was a child. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
In front of the ancestral hall, a hunchbacked one-eyed old man was holding a piece of cloth to clean the non-existent dust on the memorial tablet. When he heard the movement behind him, he did not look back, but said slowly in a hoarse voice: " After so many years, it’s finally coming to an end.”
"Grandpa, what does it mean to be sixty years old? You still have to live a hundred years."
He Yin'er had a sore nose and tried not to let the tears fall, but the words with the mouth The tone betrayed her mood.
He Liansheng paused slightly, turned around, and looked at the woman in front of him with his pale eyes, "It seems that you already know. Did the store manager tell you?"
He Yin'er He nodded with difficulty, "Grandpa, you really don't have to worry, I can go and beg you Store manager, he will definitely be able to save you!”
He Liansheng sighed: “Girl, you haven’t been able to lie since you were a child, and it’s the same now. If you don’t even lie when grandpa is gone in the future. Yes, what should I do if I am bullied?”
He Yin'er couldn't hold back her tears any longer and fell down wantonly.
He Liansheng did not step forward, but just sighed:
“Hey!”
