Chapter 241 Cannon Fodder
The studio not far away suddenly disintegrated, and some black shadows emerged from it, and began to sweep away with the black wind.
With sharp eyes, Homanshu recognized those shadows as the employees of the previous studio.
"Miss Huo, what should we do?"
Li Mo looked anxious at the flying black shadows. They had to follow the receptionist. How could they follow now that the shadows were in the sky.
"First wait and see what happens."
Huo Manshu was not in a hurry. Anyway, they still had time. According to the three days mentioned by the front desk, there were two days left, at least two days for them to respond.
After Huo Manshu said this, Li Mo said no more and just looked nervously at the black shadow flying closer and closer.
Huo Manshu was also staring at these shadows, but she was counting the number. She was counting whether the number of these shadows had decreased.
In fact, she is right to pay attention to this, because the number of black shadows is indeed decreasing, and the closer to their circle, the fewer the number of black shadows, but they also become stronger.
"Eat, eat"
"Want money. Want money"
The black shadow seemed to have a vague consciousness and kept saying something.
Li Mo saw Huo Manshu staring seriously, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Miss Huo, do you have any questions?"
Huo Manshu shook her head, thought about it seriously and then said: "If we die, we might become such a black shadow."
Huo Manshu's guess is not groundless. These shadows want money and food. Maybe they are some players who died here before. They still have a little bit of obsession in their hearts and always talk about it.
Li Mo thought he would hear something serious, but he didn't expect it to be such a scary word. He suddenly felt that the approaching black figures were not so scary.
"If I die and still beg for money and food, then my life will be so miserable."
Li Mo felt terrible just thinking about this possibility.
"So you can't die here."
Huo Manshu gave Li Mo a guarantee that those dark shadows had drifted outside their circle.
One by one, they kept flapping with their hands, but because of the defensive aperture, there was only sound, but no one was able to break through.
"Guess, at this time, the front desk should have gone back, or is he also wandering around?"
Huo Manshu had other things on his mind at this time, but Li Mo and the others were all empty-headed and didn't know how to answer Huo Manshu.
"If you're dead, you're probably wandering around. If you're not dead, you're probably going back."
Li Mo said something casually, but her words woke up Huo Manshu.
"Yes, the living will go back, and the dead will wander around."
Huo Manshu suddenly understood something and pointed to the black shadows outside. The shadows were still asking for money and food, repeating several words: "These people should have been obsessed with it during their lifetime. They wanted money and food, so Arrange them all in the shopping channel to host shopping
I have seen the appearance of the front desk once before. She is dead. Since she is dead, her career must be related to her obsession during her lifetime. ”
Ho Manshu said: "If we can know what her obsession was during her lifetime, I think we can find her."
What Huo Manshu said makes sense, and everyone thinks it makes sense, but the most critical issue is that they don't know what obsession the front desk had during his lifetime.
They couldn't even figure out why she was assigned to be the receptionist.
"Is it possible that she is also short of money?"
Li Mo casually guessed that as a receptionist, she would have access to a lot of money.
"That's not accurate. I think her obsession is lack of food."
Huo Manshu was not sure, but she felt that the key point here must be related to rice.
Because the clues now are all about the lack of food.
"It's possible. Didn't all our meals pass through her hands?"
Qianqian's unintentional words made Huo Manshu realize that she had taken a detour.
"I was wrong. There is no need for us to chase after you."
The focus of the front desk's work is not the studio at all. Her focus of work is the villa where they are located. In other words, if there are clues, it should be in their villa.
Ho Manshu guessed that the clue about the live broadcast should just remind them to target the front desk.
Looking at the black fog that was about to dissipate, Huo Manshu said hello: "We will have to express it back again in a while, so be mentally prepared."
By now, Homanshu had roughly understood the direction of these two clues.
Ho Manshu felt that if they could discover this before others discovered it, they would definitely be able to live longer than others in the end.
In just ten minutes, the black fog dissipated, and the black shadows turned into people again and wandered away.
Huo Manshu did not chase these people, but took everyone back to the studio. After recalling the previous express call, Huo Manshu called again.
After placing the order, this time the courier didn't climb out of the TV, but walked in from the door seriously. And he wasn't the big devil, he was an ordinary-looking person.
After seeing Huo Manshu, he subconsciously glanced at the back of her hand, saw the ancient seal, and immediately said respectfully: "You are the distinguished guests of the Demon King, right? Do you want to go through the passage? You don't need to pay this time. ”
Huo Manshu didn't expect that she would be treated so well after just mentioning Mammon's name once.
But if it saves money, Homanshu will naturally not refuse.
However, Homanshu asked for the pass in advance this time.
The courier smiled: "You have become celebrities in our express delivery industry. No one dares to stop you even if you don't have a pass."
Although the courier said so, Huo Manshu still insisted on asking for the pass. With the certificate in hand, she didn't have to worry about whether someone would make things difficult for her.
The courier's journey back was extremely smooth. Just as the courier said, because of Mamen's relationship, the couriers here have special respect for them. Huo Manshu also walked through the cold chain channel that she had never walked through before, and the time was actually shorter than It was shortened by ten minutes last time.
As expected, it was easy to enjoy the shade with the big tree behind her, and Huo Manshu rarely sighed with emotion.
Climbing out of the TV, everyone was a little tired.
But in order to pay attention to the whereabouts of the front desk, one by one forced themselves to sleep and followed Huo Manshu towards the front desk.
Just as Huo Manshu guessed, when they arrived, the front desk was indeed there, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw Huo Manshu.
However, her expression management is professional, and she still greets people with a smile, "Customers, what can I do for you?"
Huo Manshu shook his head, "I just came to see you. By the way, I want to tell you about two law enforcers who rebelled and were killed by me."
The front desk's face stiffened, but it soon returned to normal: "It's okay, we won't ask you for compensation."
Huo Manshu said, "But you don't want compensation, I do."
Huo Manshu counted with her fingers at the front desk: "I paid money to hire them, but in the end they betrayed me and wanted to kill me. I didn't hire bodyguards, I bought a killer."
< br>
Huo Manshu's expression was particularly serious: "You said I was frightened, do I have to pay compensation?"
"It's like this, guest, this law enforcement officer is not under my control. I have to report it to you step by step before you can get compensation. Otherwise, if you look at this, can I compensate you with some meals?" In fact, the law enforcement officer The private action was the front desk's own intention. If she reported it to the front desk, the front desk would pay the price for her private action.
This price is not something the front desk can bear.
If Huo Manshu was willing to make things as trivial as this, she would also be willing to compensate with some food.
"Meal compensation?"
Huo Manshu didn't say yes or no, she just said calmly: "Our meals have been short of food recently. You won't use our short food to compensate us, right?"
The receptionist shook his head quickly: "Of course not, it will be far more than what it's worth."
The receptionist didn't want to anger Homanshu, so even if he gave in a little bit, others wouldn't notice.
Huo Manshu said oh and asked again: "You can make the decision on this matter?"
Ho Manshu raised her eyebrows: "Don't you need to report to your superiors?"
The receptionist smiled and said perfunctorily: "I can still make the decision on this small matter."
Huo Manshu nodded, but did not ask any more questions. She just said: "Then I look forward to your extra meal. If you are not satisfied, I will come and complain."
Huo Manshu's threat was already obvious, and the receptionist just smiled awkwardly.
After returning to the room, Li Mo dared to talk to Huo Manshu with confidence, "Miss Huo, is there anything wrong with her? Will she poison our food?"
To be honest, this was the first time Li Mo had seen Huo Manshu quarreling with the front desk. Every time she felt that the front desk had to kill Huo Manshu to relieve her anger, but the strange thing was that the front desk was the first to give in every time.
"I'm not afraid of poison anyway."
Huo Manshu shook her head indifferently. When she was in the Earth Realm, she searched for a lot of poison-avoiding treasures. They were very useful. Huo Manshu dared to say that she was invulnerable to all poisons.
Gu Yi nodded cooperatively, "I'm not afraid of poison either."
Gu Yixian was not even afraid of corpse poison, let alone other things.
The only person who was as scared as Li Mo was Qian Qian, who dared not speak at this time.
The boss is not afraid. If he is afraid, he will look too ugly.
But in the end, Homanshu reassured these people: "You don't have to worry, they may poison other things, but they will definitely not poison food."
There is already a shortage of food here. It is impossible for them to poison the precious food and affect the secondary sales.
With Huo Manshu's guarantee, Li Mo and Qian Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
When the front desk came to deliver the food again, there were indeed a lot more varieties and the quantity had become larger.
Huo Manshu let everyone eat with open stomachs, and the uneaten food was finally put into a giant snail shell in the refrigerator equipped by Huo Manshu.
"The crisis of food shortage is coming. It is better to save a little if you can."
After the meal, Huo Manshu told Gu Yi to go outside and guard the empty plates, and ask him to notify them once the front desk came to get the plates.
Although Gu Yi didn't understand what Huo Manshu meant, he still obeyed and went out to squat.
But before the front desk arrived, Brother Xiong and his group squatted down first.
"What are you going to do?"
Gu Yi didn't know Brother Xiong and his group, so he was about to draw his sword.
"We just want to eat."
Brother Xiong and his group are really miserable if you want to say they are miserable. They have strength but can't afford a single meal.
Brother Xiong's waistband almost reached his neck.
"We have no food for you."
Gu Yi is particularly sensitive to the topic of food. He has experienced hunger himself, so he will never want to starve again because of his bad intentions.
"Don't come again, otherwise I can't promise that I won't do anything."
Gu Yi drew his sword and threatened. These people who are so hungry that they are hallucinating are the most dangerous, because you are not sure what dangerous things they will do in the next second.
"We just want a bite to eat!"
Brother Xiong was also very hungry. He swallowed hard when he looked at the empty plate behind Gu Yi: "Give me the plate"
This time Gu Yi did not hesitate and gave the plate to Brother Xiong. Anyway, it would be taken away by the front desk soon. It is also shameful to waste food.
Brother Xiong took Xiaoya and his glasses and licked the whole plate, almost crying with excitement: "So you guys eat so well every day."
Gu Yi didn't say anything because he saw the dining cart at the front desk coming to collect the plates.
Gu Yi didn't make any noise, just patted the door panel.
He believed that Huo Manshu would understand what he meant when he heard the voice.
And here at the front desk, I saw Brother Xiong and a few people occupying the plates, and he was a little unhappy: "You didn't pay, why do you have to eat?"
Brother Xiong will die of frustration, a good living person will be scolded for losing face and eating from a plate.
"How about I pay and you give us meals as well?"
Brother Xiong wanted to threaten him, but he didn't have the strength.
"There are only so many meals, nothing more."
The front desk clearly rejected Brother Xiong's request and took the dinner plate from Brother Xiong's hand unceremoniously.
After packing it up, I put it in the dining car and pushed it away.
Gu Yi put away his sword and knocked on the door again. Huo Manshu came out.
"Let's go."
Huo Manshu asked Gu Yi to follow her. Although she saw Brother Xiong and his group, Huo Manshu had no intention of avoiding or talking to them.
After Huo Manshu and the others left with the front desk, Brother Xiong, Xiaoya and others reacted belatedly, "What are they going to do?"
Brother Xiong’s face darkened: “Follow me and have a look!”
Anyway, they are holding on to their money and waiting to die, so they might as well just survive.
So Brother Xiong and the others fell behind Homanshu's team like little tails.
Gu Yi noticed it first and glanced at Homanshu. Homanshu ignored him and just said lightly: "Sometimes we need cannon fodder, right?"
Huo Manshu had no intention of letting Brother Xiong and the others become cannon fodder at first, but if Brother Xiong and the others did not cherish their lives and insisted on following them, there was no other way.
While he was talking, the receptionist who was walking at the front stopped at the door of a basement with a dining cart.
