Weird Regulator

The flash of the episode slightly disturbed Ji Li's newly calmed state of mind.

On this festive New Year's Day, a kidnapping case suddenly occurred, and he witnessed it with his own eyes.

As usual, this is not without reason.

Ji Li took a deep breath and took out the cigarette case from his arms but did not light it. He just held it in his hand because the seventh branch was coming.

The driver drove very fast on the last stretch of the road, perhaps because he also wanted to go home early to reunite with his fiancée.

Not long after, the car stopped at the bridge. When the driver turned his head, he could not contain the joy on his face:

"Happy New Year, little brother."

Ji Li took out a banknote from under the cigarette case, glanced at the bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat, and finally said while opening the door:

"Happy New Year."

…

It wasn't until he got off the car that Ji Li stood on the bridge and leaned his upper body on the guardrail before lighting the cigarette.

In the vast sky and earth, the moat has been frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow, which also has a different kind of beauty.

The night wind blew away Ji Li's flowing long hair, and brought the slowly rising smoke wisps closer and closer until they overlapped with the fireworks blooming in the distance and were covered up again.

He raised his head and looked at the fireworks that only bloomed for a moment and then turned into darkness, and suddenly understood something.

The sublimation of this thought allowed him to enter into a rare peace and look at dynamic things from a static perspective.

Yu Guo's ending was doomed from the moment he stepped into Tianhai Hotel.

He himself was happy to accept this fate. Why did Ji Li have so many complicated emotions because of this?

The reason is that he is too greedy.

Ji Li greedily wanted to survive in the Tianhai Hotel, greedily wanted to retrieve his lost memories, and even greedily tried to preserve some people and things in the process.

No matter what, Yu Guo would never be able to return alive from Tiannan. Everyone knew this.

Human death is the end of life, and everything turns into dust. This is the inherent view.

But actually, maybe that's not the case.

Ji Li lowered his head again and looked at the vast white snow on the moat. It was exactly the same as the snow in Tiannan.

Although Yu Guo died, he awakened Ah Lian. His long-cherished wish had come true, and everything did not return to zero with the death of his body.

Now in the ghost college in Tiannan, a woman is guarding a grave and looking at Xue with the same eyes. This is the best proof.

Ji Li raised his hand gently and watched as the cigarette butt fell naturally and fell into the snowdrift, gradually extinguishing it.

In fact, people are selfish animals. He didn't want Yu Guo to die just because Yu Guo was the only person who could be called a "friend".

Now that he has left, it seems that Ji Li has returned to the situation of having nothing.

"Why didn't you go in when you came back?"

When Ji Li looked down at the sparks eroded by the snow, a slightly unfamiliar voice sounded from beside him.

He looked sideways and saw that the person coming was Mei Sheng.

Mei Sheng wore a long white down jacket, put a hat on her head, covering her short chestnut hair, put her hands in her pockets, and looked expressionless as if she was cold.

It turned out to be her, no wonder it sounded strange because she rarely spoke.

Ji Li withdrew his gaze, and when he lowered his head again, the cigarette butt on the river had been completely extinguished, and no trace of it could be found without the spark.

He was looking down at the frozen snow on the river, and she was looking up at the blooming flowers in the sky, and no one said anything.

Until Ji Li felt a chill and was about to walk back with a cane in one hand.

Mei Sheng didn't move. She didn't come to Ji Li in the first place. She just came out to watch the fireworks, so she let him leave.

…

After returning to the seventh branch, the dazzling light made his eyes look a little awkward.

The female voice did not say the familiar greeting this time. She just dimmed the lights and quickly treated Ji Li's injuries.

Due to the special nature of Ji Li, his right arm could not be repaired automatically like other store clerks. Fortunately, he put his right arm in his bag and brought it back in advance.

The female voice never showed up at this stage, maybe because of the previous dispute, or maybe because she sensed Ji Li's emotions at this time.

However, when Ji Li returned, a lot of familiar faces came to him one after another.

Tongguan, Chang Nian, Xiao Qiandu Ye, Jie Zheng, Jin Xi, Hong Fu...

Tongguan was the first to come up to Ji Li. Judging from their appearance, his face was similar to Ji Li's, both were a little pale.

Ever since Zhu Xiaoning died and gave way to the position of manager of the Tenth Store, he has not slept, always waiting for Ji Li's return on the first floor.

By now, it was almost half the night, so everyone looked a little tired.

Originally Ji Li didn't want to say anything else tonight, but after seeing Tongguan, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"Call everyone to the conference room."

…

Today is January 1, 2016, 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.

There are exactly forty clerks in the conference room of the seventh branch, no more, no less, which is also the standard number of people for a Samsung hotel.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tan Miaotong. I am 28 years old. I used to be a radio host..."

At the beginning of the meeting, Tan Miaotong, one of the four newcomers who had just joined the branch five minutes ago, introduced himself.

Tan Miaotong is a beautiful-looking woman who speaks in a smooth and generous manner. Her performance is better than the previous three newcomers. At least her professionalism is online.

It's just that when she introduced herself, she always felt that these "senior clerks" looked at her strangely, but she didn't know why.

After the four newcomers were introduced one by one, Tongguan raised his hand, looked at Ji Li, and asked the question he had been waiting for a long time:

"Manager Ji, what exactly happened during the Tiannan Drama Academy mission? There should be four store clerks who went with you.

Did they all die, so four new people were suddenly replaced five minutes ago? "

Due to the special nature of Tiannan Drama Academy, all traces of existence will be erased for everyone who dies there.

Therefore, this problem is not only lingering on the minds of one person in Tongguan, but also on the minds of everyone in the entire top ten branches.

They all know that the joint recruitment task of the four major branches has ended, but except for Ji Li, they can't remember who the remaining executive clerks are!

Ji Li sat in the first place. He grabbed the cigarette case on the table and lit a cigarette for himself. He glanced at Hong Fu who was sitting on the third chair on the right.

"The seat Hong Fu is sitting on once belonged to a man named 'Yu Guo'."

"Yu Guo..."

Everyone frowned and fell silent for the first time, and then began to whisper among themselves, as if they were discussing who the "Yu Guo" Ji Li mentioned was?

Hong Fu glanced down subconsciously and found that his chair was on the high side and the tabletop was slightly dented.

He scratched his head and whispered:

"It seems that this Yu Guo is taller than me and more active."

The dent on the tabletop was caused by Yu Guo once taking everyone together to play board games in the conference room. It seemed that Tian Nan thought this mark was not important, so he kept it.

"Yu Guo, Yu Guo..."

At the outermost edge of the conference room, Fang Shenyan took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his tunic suit, wiped it unconsciously, and muttered the name.

In fact, he didn't want to come to this headless meeting, but for some reason, he suddenly started to feel restless and irritable five hours ago.

He seemed to realize that he had lost something, but he didn't know what it was, so Fang Shenyan's face was filled with confusion.

Now Ji Li gave him the answer. What he lost was not a thing, but a person.
