Qi Wuyuan stood behind the counter, planning today's work arrangement for the waiters in the lobby.

Hong Jing looked at Qi Wuyuan repeating the same actions every day. After seeing the fourth day, Hong Jing found that Qi Wuyuan was still doing these boring jobs.

Although as an employee, it can be regarded as very conscientious, but for those who want to have fun.For Hong Jing, this seemed to be very tortured.

This is not what he wants to see.

If you don't do something interesting, no matter how pleasing to the eye and beautiful paper tied with red flags, it will only feel boring.

Hong Jing doesn't like Xiaoyuan's emptiness, and now he has some doubts when Xiaoyuan answered his question face to face before, why the novel answer and the interesting energy disappeared now.

Hong Jing almost wondered if she had misread it.

"It's really disappointing..."

Hong Jing's interest in Qi Wuyuan has indeed diminished a lot since today. He saw Qi Wuyuan who was busy working in the middle of the night step by step, although he didn't completely lose his surveillance of Qi Wuyuan, thinking that if he would still follow him He saw some surprises on his body, but somewhat relaxed the monitoring of Qi Wuyuan.

In fact, Hong Jing has nothing to do. Bored, he appears to be elusive in his inn, giving people the illusion that he doesn't appear in the inn very much.

In fact, no one knows that Hong Jing has always regarded the inn as a place to watch fun, casually monitoring the comings and goings of the guests or the employees in the store to pass the time-he really has no concept of time, and he doesn't fiddle with things Come out to pass the time, he is going to be moldy here.

The red flag allows the inn to receive any guests, regardless of whether hell allows or not, they can enter the inn to check in or take a short rest. The red mountain inn is definitely a chaotic and neutral place.

This gave Hong Jing a chance to watch fun after finishing her work, except for the rest time.

Hong Jing looked at Qi Wuyuan standing upright, Qi Wuyuan was holding a brush and writing some work-related records seriously.

The seemingly pleasing scene made Hong Jing yawn boredly.

Suddenly, a waiter came over to report the matter to Qi Wu Yuan Hui, breaking the drowsiness of Hong Jing who was about to fall asleep under surveillance.

The waiter said to Qi Wuyuan: "Sir, there are two paper-made servants who have just arrived on the stage to perform."

Since Qi Wuyuan was promoted, none of the employees in the inn were called "Xiaoyuan" anymore, they changed their names tacitly, and the uniform name given to Qi Wuyuan was also promoted by a position.

Hong Jing was immediately attracted by the two new employees in the waiter's story, and curiously switched monitoring characters before Qi Wuyuan, and went to check the two new performance employees first.

Qi Wuyuan noticed that the vague sense of surveillance on his body disappeared, and a smile appeared in his lowered eyes.

Pressing his fingers on the countertop, he moved naturally, and said calmly to the waiter who came to report the matter: "Let them go to the backstage to prepare, the performance on the stage has been suspended for three days, and it has to start today. "

"Just inspect the goods, if the performance is not good, just send it back."

Qi Wuyuan arranged things in the lobby in an orderly manner.

After receiving Qi Wuyuan's instructions, the waiter immediately left to convey his arrangement to the two new performers.

At this time, just when the front foot of Hongjing's surveillance had just disappeared, the lobby and the stairs leading to the second floor box on the left side were intentionally staggered, and on the stairs leading to the guest room on the third floor on the right side, there was a louder-than-normal noise. Ghost guests want some serious movement.

On this difference between human beings and ghosts, Qi Wuyuan felt a very obvious difference.

He calmly glanced at the stairs on the right, and with a glance, he saw the shadow walker coming down the stairs.

——The timing was just right.

The Yin walker did not go to the lobby to sit and eat incense ashes to rest like other guests. He was fully dressed and only a pair of eyes were exposed.

The Yin walker walked straight towards the counter, ready to hand over the room and leave the inn.

Compared with the inn, which is a bit nondescript but overall still leans towards the ancient decoration, the management and operation of the inn has introduced a model that is more inclined to the modern prototype.

When guests check in, they press things at the counter, and when they leave, they need to check out and get back the things mortgaged at the counter.

In the area of ​​Hongshan, there is no unexpected ghost coming to pay attention to the inn, and it is very safe to mortgage things in the store, so after Hongjing changed the operation mode of the inn, it did not get resistance from the guests.

What the yin walker arrived at the counter were two paper ingots.

He can't leave anything he brought from the world here, no matter what the mortgage is, he must take it when he checks out.

When the yin walker came to check out, it "coincidentally" the Painted Skin Ghost went to help the two new paper servants who were about to perform on the stage to get ready for makeup.

Another employee who settles the accounts doesn't come to the store every day to settle the accounts, so he didn't come this time.

So the only one who is still standing inside the counter is Qi Wuyuan, an inn employee.

After the Yin walker got closer, Qi Wuyuan pretended to be aware of his existence, raised his head and asked calmly: "What's the matter, my guest?"

The ghost walker wanted to get rid of the breath of the living in the inn and absorb the ghost energy to disguise himself. Qi Wuyuan had done some calculations before, and had already roughly deduced how long the ghost walker would need to stay in the inn.

Qi Wuyuan figured it out, if there were no accidents, the yin walker could go down and check out directly when the inn just opened tonight.

——How is it convenient for Qi Wuyuan to move?

Therefore, a little accident must happen to the Yin-walking person.

What Qi Wuyuan did last night was nothing but a blindfold.

It is not only to delay the time for the Yin-walker to go downstairs to check out, but also to distract the surveillance of the Painted Skin Ghost and Red Jing at the counter, but also to shift the focus, so that the Yin-walker's subconscious thinks that the danger is all happening during the day , when you check out tonight, you can relax your guard a little bit.

Whether it was Yin Shisan's deliberate drinking and trouble, or the black paw prints on the wrist of the Yin-walking man, it was all to make the Yin-walking man focus on these two accidents, so that he could pray When Wuyuan really wanted to do something, he relaxed and caught him off guard.

In particular, Qi Wuyuan felt that if he was lucky, the ghost walker would not even open the important props to protect him when he came to check out.

Because after the accident of drinking alcohol, the yin walker faced the black handprint that could not be eliminated no matter what, under normal thinking, in order to pursue security and fear of encountering something again, it is very likely that he had already used this prop to stay in the room during the day. When the guest room absorbs ghost energy.

Even if there are precious props on his body, it is impossible for the Yin-traveler to activate the function of the props all the time.

The high consumption of precious props has always been heart-wrenching, and people who walk in the shadows will not be so extravagant to do such a thing that they lose more than they can earn more by doing dirty work.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the person who is in the shadows does not have precious props to protect his body now, and should only carry some regular protective props and the like.

This kind of ordinary props is no longer a fear for Qi Wuyuan whose identity card has been upgraded to a mid-level NPC.

Even Hong Jing didn't know that Qi Wuyuan's current identity was only a step away from a high-level NPC.

If the person walking in the shadows knew that the black handprints and the smashed wine cup that disturbed his mind for a long time during the day were only used to disturb his mind and delay time, and there was nothing else useful, he would probably be angry with high blood pressure by now.

But he doesn't know now.

The Yin walker saw the good-looking young man standing behind the counter, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances as he didn't pay much attention to his appearance.

It is indeed a beautiful paper figurine.

The ghostly person came to stay in the inn for a day, and didn't know that Qi Wuyuan was promoted from a small employee who played the piano on the stage to the manager of the lobby in one fell swoop.

After he took a few more glances at Qi Wuyuan, he stopped paying attention to Qi Wuyuan's place.

It's just a paper bundle - a simple thing that can be seen everywhere in Hongshan.

The Yin-walker said hoarsely, "I'll check out."

Qi Wuyuan nodded, first followed the normal procedure to find out the occupancy record of the yin walker, wrote the word "retire", then turned around and walked two steps towards the wall behind the counter.

He walked up to the wall and pressed a small, inconspicuous button next to it, seemingly casually.

The exquisite hidden door made of mortise and tenon structure appears in this way, and the secret room behind the door is to store the valuables that the guests who stay in the inn have deposited in the inn.

Qi Wuyuan walked into the room according to the check-in record, and was about to take out the two paper ingots that the Yin-runner bet here.

The Yin walker was waiting outside the counter, and about a minute later, he saw Qi Wuyuan walking out with his paper ingot.

Just when Qi Wuyuan had just walked out of the room, Pang Bin, a shop waiter who had just received customers in the lobby, was suddenly bumped into by another waiter who was cleaning the floor swiftly. The two employees fell to the ground one after another after bumping into each other. His bucket was also knocked down to the ground.

There was already a bucket full of water in the bucket, and it would be all the more rushed out.

Because the water that came out was very close to the counter, almost all of it was splashed in the direction of Qi Wuyuan.

Qi Wuyuan immediately covered the paper ingot with his sleeve, turned around to avoid the splashing water.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Qi Wuyuan didn't get any water on his body, but the corner of the paper ingot covered by his sleeve accidentally got a few drops of water.

Qi Wuyuan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quickly moved a few fingers hidden under the wide sleeves, manipulating the shop waiter and waiter who collided with each other to stand up and apologize.

Immediately, many guests and employees in the lobby focused their attention on the two employees who made mistakes.

On the surface, Qi Wuyuan looked at the waiter and waiter who made mistakes with a sullen face.

"You are fired."

Qi Wuyuan calmly told the fate of the two employees who made mistakes.

As the lobby manager, he has this right.

The two employees tremblingly apologized to the guests. No one was surprised by this result, including the two fired employees.

There is no excuse for such a lowly mistake in an inn.

The two employees were fired after apologizing—they immediately turned into ashes and dissipated in the air, becoming paper fluff invisible to the naked eye, ending the paper doll's consciousness.

Even this matter is over.

It's only been 3 minutes since Hong Jing's attention shifted away.

No one would have thought that Qi Wuyuan manipulated the two puppets to perform a play naturally in just 3 minutes, thinking that it was really a small sudden event that no one thought of.

Anyway, they are worthless paper figurines without real consciousness, so if they are destroyed, just destroy them, it is not considered a loss.

At this time, Qi Wuyuan said apologetically to the Yin-walker: "I'm sorry that the guest's ingot got some water stains on it."

The Yin-walking man frowned, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

But he also saw that this was an accident, and observed that Qi Wuyuan didn't forget to cover the paper ingot in his hand with his sleeve when he was almost splashed by water.

Other than admitting that he was unlucky, the Yin-walking person could not find a way to blame Qi Wuyuan.

Apart from the fact that Qi Wuyuan failed to pick a fault and complain, it was mainly because of the inn's toughness that he didn't dare to mess around.

It's just that these paper ingots... If they are taken away like this, the Yin-Zouren knows that he has broken the taboo.

Taboos must not be broken!

Fortunately, it was only stained with water, as long as he repaired it carefully, it could be restored.

However, the yin walker handed over the paper ingots outside the counter as collateral, so he couldn't take out the counter to repair it, otherwise he would still commit a taboo.

It seems that he has to persuade this paper man to let him find a way to go in and repair the paper ingot.

Just when the yin walker was staring at his things and was about to speak out his thoughts, Qi Wuyuan spoke first.

With apologies, Qi Wuyuan lowered his voice and said to him: "How about it, guest, it's because of us that these ingots were stained with water, but I think your identity is not simple, why don't you come in and repair these ingots?"

With an unnatural expression on his face, he said with some coyness: "Originally, guests are not allowed to enter the room behind the counter, but whoever said this is my fault..."

Qi Wuyuan looked around, all the guests had already looked away, and the guests who were standing at the door were taken to their seats by other waiters.

Because the inn occupies a large area, the counter is far away from the seating area in the lobby, and there is no one around here.

Only then did Qi Wuyuan make up his mind and whispered to the Yin-walker: "Don't be seen by anyone, I'll take you into the mortgage room to mend the ingots, and bring you out after the mending is over, we'll just pretend this never happened How about it?"

The Yin walker was still thinking about how to talk to Qi Wuyuan, but after hearing his words, he felt satisfied, which happened to coincide with his thoughts.

The ghost walker also knows what the lobby manager of this inn is planning.

Don't you just want to suppress things and not be punished?

After all, it can be regarded as destroying the customer's collateral.

The shadow walker didn't have any doubts, but on the surface he still looked disgusted and reluctant.

"Forget it, lead the way, I'll come in and fix it myself."

He didn't suspect Qi Wuyuan's motives at all.

Anyway, he had already experienced an accident during the day, and at night, he was still in the crowded inn lobby. Could there be any danger of killing him?

Qi Wuyuan turned around and opened the door again and walked into the room behind the counter, licking the corners of his mouth at an angle that the shadow walkers couldn't see.

The yin walker immediately got into the counter quickly from the side and walked into the mortgage room.

There was only a weak candle in the mortgage room to provide illumination, and just as the Yin-walker entered, Qi Wuyuan handed him the paper ingot in his hand.

When the yin walker just touched the paper ingot, Qi Wuyuan immediately pushed his left hand forward, and the wrist protruding from the cuff touched the yin walker's wrist accurately.

Just as the East and West were handing over, Qi Wuyuan's skills were successfully activated and devoured the Yin-traveler.

The two paper ingots fell to the ground, and the horrified man could be felt just from his face with only a pair of eyes exposed.

The Yin-walking person only thought that he had done evil for so many years, was powerful and experienced, but he never thought that he would fall on a servant made of paper.

At the moment before being swallowed, the Yin-walking man's eyes widened, he wanted to shout loudly for someone to come over, but he was swallowed too fast by the black energy revealed in the barcode on Qi Wuyuan's wrist, and he could not move at all. Without having time to do it, it disappeared in place.

Only a bell fell from the Yin-walking man to the ground along with the fallen paper ingots-it fell to the ground and was vibrated several times without making a sound.

After devouring the Yin-traveler, Qi Wuyuan clearly felt a different feeling from all the NPCs he had devoured before.

Even if there are no special props, the strength of the ghost walker should be regarded as the top group among the intermediate NPCs. Qi Wuyuan felt a chill rushing from his left wrist to his whole body.

In addition to the feeling of being extra cold, there is also an uncomfortable feeling of wanting to vomit.

Qi Wuyuan closed his eyes and suppressed these uncomfortable feelings, he had to move quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome to be discovered by Hong Jing.

Perhaps Qi Wuyuan's eager thoughts played a role, although this time he felt particularly uncomfortable, but soon his ability adapted to the new nutrients captured this time, so that Qi Wuyuan's body no longer felt uncomfortable.

After he recovered, he immediately saw a bell that had fallen to the ground.

Consciously tell Qi Wuyuan that this is the precious prop on the Yin-walker.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

Qi Wuyuan picked up the bell, the length is only the length of an adult's fist, and the width is almost half of the length. The copper bell looks very fine, and there are densely packed special symbols engraved on the surface. If you look carefully, you can find these The place where the symbols are engraved is very particular, and every place is distributed with symbols of just the right size.

Just as Qi Wuyuan picked up the bell and observed it, he thought of something—the soul-absorbing bell.

This is something every mortician must have.

This time the system's notification came half a beat late, and it was only at this time that it sounded in Qi Wuyuan's mind.

[Has devoured [Yin Walker (Intermediate NPC)], NPC level increased. 】

.

[Player identity - paper-tied servant (NPC identity card). 】

[Paper-tied servant: Quasi-advanced NPC, fire resistance ability has been improved, ordinary candlelight cannot destroy you, and the Yin Qi seal in the body has been initially restored.Possesses advanced [manipulation] ability, the currently manipulable objects are: mid-level paper-made servant NPC*2, low-level paper-made servant NPC*1]

[You currently only have the qualifications of a mortician, but the chances are slim. Players still need to work hard to upgrade. 】

After hearing the last line of prompts from the system, Qi Wuyuan confirmed that what he was holding was the soul-absorbing bell—a corpse-repelling tool that could only be controlled by Yin Qi.
