Weird Regulator

After a long time, Ji Li still remembered the first time he met Xue Tinghai.

At that time, the Seventh Branch was still in a situation of understaffed and low-level personnel, and it was still quite cautious and unfamiliar with participating in the joint recruitment task for the first time.

The first time I heard the name Xue Tinghai was from Tongguan Kou who had just entered the branch.

Ji Li still remembers that Tongguan's original evaluation of Xue Tinghai had eight words:

"Gloomy in nature and ruthless".

The store managers of the top ten branches each have their own merits. At this time, Xue Tinghai's description is not very outstanding.

It can be said that neither Xue Tinghai nor his fourth branch is inconspicuous in Tianhai. It is neither a chicken head nor a phoenix tail, and is in the middle grade.

The Kyoto mission was the first joint pickup mission Ji Li participated in, and Xue Tinghai was also the first enemy he encountered from a different store.

What impressed Xue Tinghai the most about Ji Li was the first meeting.

In the Rubik's Cube Building under the snowy night in Kyoto, he counted on Ji Li's ambush and designed a counter-ambush, which almost severely damaged the seventh branch.

But after that, Xue Tinghai, Ji Li's first enemy, was defeated repeatedly until he fled in panic at the end of the Kyoto mission.

It was from him that the mask of the White-faced Ghost was thrown to Fang Shenyan.

Perhaps it was at that moment that the gears of fate changed.

Whether it was a coincidence or destiny, with Ji Li's appearance on the stage of Tianhai, many of the previous "roles" showed signs of giving up and calling time.

First, Li Congrong, the iron-blooded store manager of the fifth branch, was killed in Fengdu.

Later, Chen Hansheng, the famous store manager of the third branch, died in "Three Questions".

Tie Ning, Ma Mingyu, Bao An, Jiang Xi, Lu Chen...

The once-famous store managers and clerks in the top ten branches withered away one after another, and the feeling of chilling spread to the fourth branch at an extremely fast speed.

The snow that fell in Kyoto before has now fallen on Tiannan Academy of Drama.

Ji Li stood in the elevator room of a few square meters, slightly lowering his eyes and looking calmly at the figure sitting on the ground at his feet.

Slowly, he reunited with the burly and tough man he once was.

Xue Tinghai is indeed miserable. He is completely opposite to the cunning and ferocious character when he first appeared.

The way he sat on the ground was in sharp contrast to Ji Li, who was standing and looking down, one lower and one higher.

The rivals who used to shoot at each other have now ended up with a huge gap between them.

The elevator was slowly moving up, and the operation of the old machinery made a heavy "bang" sound in the car, like the last struggle of a dying person.

In the dull and cramped space, no one spoke, and they didn't even look at each other.

In the fateful last meeting, I wonder if Xue Tinghai had any regrets.

If he could put away his contempt and design seriously when he was with Ji Li in Kyoto, that white-faced ghost mask might really fall into his hands.

The mask of the white-faced ghost has played a huge role in Fang Shenyan's hands. With his ability to transform into ghosts, he has repeatedly broken miracles and seems to have reached extremely high heights.

But things should never be conceived this way.

The moment Xue Tinghai entered the Tianhai Hotel, his life trajectory was basically finalized.

Throughout his hotel career, in the first half, he relied on his good wisdom, courageous temperament, and ruthless methods to build the fourth branch to a new height.

He himself is also famous among many store managers. He has survived many lives and deaths and stands out.

But in the second half, Xue Tinghai himself had to admit that he was indeed cowardly.

Xue Tingtao's entry made his originally indomitable mentality begin to become unbalanced. He began to care about gains and losses, and kept internal friction and burdens.

For this useless brother, he even gave away the position of store manager he had obtained.

Until the eve of this mission, Xue Tinghai had already realized that his end was approaching.

The four major branches jointly escorted him, which was obviously a dead end, because the last similar mission was Chen Hansheng's ten-day escape.

People say that Locke is very smart, but he only has one major character flaw: "impatient".

But in this mission, Xue Tinghai's performance was obviously more urgent.

The moment he found a way out, he desperately sought success at all costs, even pushing himself to a dead end.

Perhaps from the perspective of a bystander, Xue Tinghai's performance tonight was too reckless in hindsight.

But if you put it into his psychology, the cowardice of blood relatives, the turmoil of the sky and the sea, the threat of the mission...

In short, Xue Tinghai, a store manager who has been famous for a long time, has a tragic ending due to many factors that have pushed him to a desperate situation step by step.

In silence, Ji Li looked at the slowly moving elevator and said calmly:

"I didn't see your trump card in this mission."

In fact, no matter what, Xue Tinghai should not have fallen to this point if his plan failed.

People often say that there is no good person under the reputation. Even if Xue Tinghai's abilities in all aspects are not top-notch, he has lived for such a long time, so it is impossible that he does not have a few life-saving trump cards.

However, Xue Tinghai left no room for trouble tonight and easily allowed the ghost to take possession of him, trying to survive in a desperate way.

Even after failing to survive, he didn't even use any of his self-rescue cards.

This obviously goes against common sense.

When Xue Tinghai heard this, a forced smile appeared on the remaining half of his face, and he said in the same indifferent tone:

"I only brought one sinful item with me on this mission."

When he said this, his face twitched with a smile, and the iconic scar was no longer scarlet due to excessive blood loss.

This also made him look less ferocious than before, instead showing a calmness after going through many hardships.

That would make sense.

No wonder Xue Tinghai rarely used sinful items in this mission.

No wonder he even had to risk the power of ghosts to complete his escape;

No wonder Luo Ge and Qiu Taoyu dared to treat him like this...

Ji Li couldn't help but look back at him. From this uncomfortable face, he could see a sense of lightness after being relieved of responsibility.

Xue Tinghai left all his sins, all his cards, and all his feelings to his incompetent brother...

Today, he will die for that brother.

People say that there are no emotions in the sky and the sea, only interests and desires.

Ji Li has no family ties, let alone relatives, but he understands.

He had seen similar things in such a long time since he woke up.

For example, Li Congrong vs. Li Guanqi, Xu Nan vs. Xu Cha, and Bao An vs. Huangfu Jiajia.

And today, Xue Tinghai versus Xue Tingtao.

Xue Tinghai is definitely not a good person, or according to some moral standards, he is a complete evil person, but he is the most competent brother in the world.

He gave all his humanity to his brother.

Ji Li understood that Xue Tinghai must have some means to maintain his life before he died, and that he wanted to help him before he died.

This cannot be said to be a person who is about to die but speaks well, it is just Xue Tinghai's counterattack before death.

Therefore, Luoge was too impatient and should not have treated an "old store manager" who had lived for such a long time like this.

Xue Tinghai didn't have the strength to raise his hand. He just watched the elevator number jump from "10" to "11" and said softly:

"Don't worry and do what you want to do. Before you become the principal, Luo Ge and Qiu Taoyu have no time to take care of you anymore."

After he said this, he put his right hand on the ground with great effort and sat upright with a look of pain on his face.

At the same time, he pulled his left hand on his chest and stretched his collar downwards, revealing the skin that had been eroded by ghost energy and turned black.

The evil wolf bared its teeth and sneered, and once again grew sharp fangs. As the black lines invaded, a pair of faint wolf eyes vaguely carried a chilling and terrifying power.

On both sides of this wolf head, two more wolf heads slowly appeared, one on the left and one on the right. The ferocious and mutated tattooed sinful object was twisted and terrifying at the moment.

Xue Tinghai half-knelt in the elevator, rubbed his blackened right arm with his hand, his eyes were distracted, and he whispered to himself:

"The store manager's vagina is about to explode. It turns out that it was ultimately the cause of my death..."

Waves of heart-stopping force have seriously affected the operation of the elevator, and the mechanical scream it makes is getting more and more serious.

Ji Li could sense Xue Tinghai behind him. The aura of death almost enveloped the entire elevator room, almost burying all the scent of the living.

"Be careful of Song Yitong."

"She helped me stay alive for half a minute, so that I could wait for you and use me to deal with Luo Ge and Qiu Taoyu."

"She is your ultimate enemy when you become the principal."

Ji Li was on the fifteenth floor and pressed the button to open the door. Hearing Xue Tinghai's last words, he left without looking back.

At the last moment when a store manager died, he gave him enough respect and did not look at the death of the eruption of the vagina, the horror of being devoured by ghosts, or the ugliness of the resurgence of sinful things.

In Ji Li's mind, the last impression he had of Xue Tinghai was the relief on his face when he relieved himself of his responsibilities, and the rare calmness when facing death.

One of his former rivals has retired, and he has also lost an old friend.

The snow in Kyoto finally fell in Tiannan, and this time Xue Tinghai could not get out of this snowy night.
