Weird Regulator

Inside the fourth branch, there was already chaos.

Xue Tingtao, the nominal store manager, was frowning at the moment, listening to the vulgarity of a beautiful woman.

I didn't expect that this little seventh branch would be so well hidden. Even our deputy store manager Xue was defeated like this!

The young man next to the beautiful woman seemed to be of high status, and his face was very ugly at the moment.

Store manager, our fourth branch says it is the strongest among all branches, but everyone knows that without the help of the first branch, we would not be able to reach this position.

When he said this, he paused, took a peek at Xue Tingtao, and continued:

Due to the crime distribution system of the fourth branch, our strength lies entirely in the few senior clerks here. If one of them dies, it means that the overall strength has plummeted, which will have a great impact on future tasks.

At this moment, Xue Tingtao looked at the seat next to him, where a man who looked very similar to him was sitting there.

It's just that there is a terrifying scar on his face, and he looks extremely fierce.

This person is none other than Xue Tinghai, who just escaped from the clutches of the Kyoto Thread Devil!

He finally completed the mission. Since the human form was indestructible, all he needed to complete the mission was to obtain another White-faced Ghost mask.

During the freeze-frame of passing through the map of sinful objects, Xue Tinghai actually saw that the pockets on the waist of the string ghost actually contained masks.

But he didn't say anything at that time, and he knew very well that there would only be one guilty object, the one taken away by the Seventh Branch.

This was indeed the case, but after all, Xue Tinghai still had two evil objects against heaven. At the last moment, he still fought to the death to obtain the mask and returned after completing the mission.

The injury could be healed the moment he returned to the hotel, but he had not experienced such a tragic defeat that severely damaged his morale for a long time.

Ji Li, I'm not as good as him...

Xue Tinghai looked up to the sky and sighed. Now he had to face this problem head-on.

Ji Li, firstly, without any crime, and secondly, without enough experience, was able to trick him, the helmsman of a three-star hotel, by strategizing.

This already explains the problem.

The beautiful woman who spoke first was very worried at the moment. She looked at Xue Tinghai and said:

Deputy store manager Xue, please don't let the first branch know about this matter. The store manager's task is coming soon. The less people know about our defeat at the hands of the seventh branch, the better!

As soon as Xue Tinghai heard the name of the first branch, his face suddenly became more gloomy. He leaned forward and glanced at the faces of the eight people present.

I'm afraid that the news has already been known to the first branch.

What? The beautiful woman was shocked, but she still hadn't realized the profound meaning of this sentence.

But then, Xue Tinghai's cell phone buzzed on the table.

Xue Tinghai hesitated for a moment, then sighed and picked up.

Haha, Deputy Store Manager Xue, Mr. Lan wants to congratulate you. In the joint mission of three-star and two-star hotels, you fought hard to the last person and successfully survived.

The caller was Lan Yu from the first branch, but his words were sarcastic. It seemed that he was very familiar with Xue Tinghai's situation and was very dissatisfied.

Xue Tinghai frowned as soon as he heard this. Lan Yu couldn't help but go too far when he spoke like this. If he loses, he loses. What's the point of doing his first branch?

This call was more like a call for accountability, but he was unable to respond.

It seems that the fourth branch will not be able to contribute much in the upcoming store manager task. Lan recommends that you hide your capabilities and bide your time for a while.

What about the store manager's job?

The job of store manager is rare, and every crime obtained from it is very powerful. If Xue Tinghai does not hold the thigh of the first branch, it will be difficult for him to share the soup.

Lan Yu's attitude now seems to be intended to make him quit.

It's not just you, Deputy Store Manager Xue, who has made friends with the first branch. Luo Xian'er from the sixth branch is also very interested.

Mr. Lan, I... Xue Tinghai suddenly became anxious when he heard the name of the female store manager of the sixth branch, Luo Xianer.

But Lan Yu didn't give him a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.

…

The first branch is the largest of the ten branches of Tianhai Hotel. It has five floors alone, and more than 20 ghost residents are imprisoned in it.

In fact, Ji Li, Fang Shenyan and others all made mistakes in their judgment regarding the rules for hotel promotion.

Most of the information they got was from the female voice and Tongguan, but the real promotion rules were more complicated than they imagined.

From an ordinary to a one-star hotel, it is relatively simple to require three tasks and three ghosts;

It is not difficult to get from a one-star to a two-star hotel, it requires three missions and three ghosts;

But when you arrive at a two-star hotel or a three-star hotel, the rules suddenly change, and the difficulty level skyrockets: at this stage, you need to complete six tasks and turn in six ghosts!

From three to four stars, the level of difficulty will be even higher, requiring you to complete twelve missions and hand in twelve ghosts!

As for the difficulty level from four to five stars, no one knows how high it is.

Because only the first branch has reached the highest level, their current record is twenty-two ghosts.

In other words, the first branch is only a thin line away from the four-star hotel, so it can be called the strongest!

The main reason why the situation changed after the two-star hotel was due to the addition of sinful objects.

It can be said that only when they reach the level of a two-star hotel can the clerks be exposed to real tasks!

Ji Li and others don't know this because they are too weak and have very little information.

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yu sat at the table feeling uneasy. His delicate face was tense, and he could no longer hide his worry.

In front of him were the details of the Kyoto mission relayed from the Seventh Branch's internal line.

On top of this report, there is an A4 paper with only a few words on it, which is a piece of identity information.

The name on this piece of paper is: Ji Li.

After hesitating a few times, Lan Yu rubbed his face, took out his phone, and sent a text message to someone.

Store manager, I am Lan Yu.

The person you are looking for has been found. He is the acting store manager of the seventh branch.

The branch has just reached the two-star level and has only one sinful item.

Ji Li is a person who is unsentimental, ruthless and changeable, and is good at calculation and layout.

In the battle with Xue Tinghai from the Fourth Branch, Xue Tinghai was the only one who was killed by the Fourth Branch without relying on crime objects and only with his mind.

You have been ordering us to look for the name Ji Li and eradicate it if we find it, but I didn't expect Xue Tinghai to be so incompetent. I expected to start first and then inform you, but I didn't expect the result to be like this.

After Lan Yu finished sending this text message, he slumped down on his chair.

As early as when he first took over the first branch, he ordered all store employees to pay attention to the name Ji Li and report it immediately if they found it.

But Lan Yu was greedy for credit. After finding out that Ji Li was on a mission in Kyoto, he knew that the store manager was also in Kyoto, but he didn't submit it in time, hoping to get a bargain.

Let Xue Tinghai get rid of Ji Li first, and then report the good news to the store manager. How could he expect that such an old fox would be no match for this guy.

After Lan Yu finished sending the text message, he couldn't help but wonder who Ji Li was. He had never heard of this name before, but it made the store manager so fearful and careful.

And he also understood that this matter was all because he had made the decision without authorization. With the store manager's decisive and ruthless character, he was afraid that this disaster would be difficult to avoid.

As he expected, it didn't take long for the mysterious store manager to reply with a text message. There were only four words in it, but it shocked Lan Yu and made him sweat.

Cut off your fingers to apologize!

But the store manager didn't say clearly how many fingers he wanted to break, and Lan Yu's eyelids twitched. He was afraid that he had to make his own judgment on how many fingers he wanted to break.

Lan Yu thought deeply for an hour. Finally, he slapped his left hand on the table, raised the knife with his right hand, and slashed hard.

His choice was to cut off his entire left hand!
