Two human skulls…

Two more human skulls!

This was the second time Ji Li heard this sensitive word.

The first time came from the clue character in Mu Nianmei's mission, Gao Yan.

As a veteran detective whose life was ruined because of the Mu Nianmei case, when he was about to solve the case, he accidentally entered a major supernatural location.

A cave under the disappearing moat bank.

In this cave, he witnessed the statue of a white-robed ghost worshiping the seasonal rites.

In the palm of the left hand of the statue, there are two human skulls.

Coincidences that occur many times are definitely not coincidences.

Now Li Yi's remarks confirm this.

In the special place where the store manager works, on the basement floor of the Black and White Building, there are two human skulls, a man and a woman.

Fifteen years ago, the statue of Ji Li was worshiped by a special ghost, and there were also two human skulls.

Although Gao Yan's words are unclear, there is a high probability that we can use this to guess.

The skulls mentioned by Li and Gao may be the same pair.

One man and one woman...

Ji Li faced the river breeze, his gaze gradually deepened as he looked into the distance, and he began to dig out the few memories in his mind.

Among the people he knew, from the identity of the skulls to the logic of time, these two human skulls were most likely to be...

Mr. and Mrs. Tongen!

In that fragmented dream, Ji Li learned an important information point from Chunshan Mirai's words.

In his fifty years, Ji Li once planned a certain event, but failed miserably.

In the group of six, Tong En and his wife were sent to Branch 11 and started from scratch;

Mo, become a useless person;

Ouyang was taken away by something;

The only ones who insist on resisting are Ji Li and Chun Shan Mirai.

But Ji Li seems to have other plans, trying to turn defeat into victory and determined to run away.

He had no information as to what that plan was.

However, judging from Chunshan's future attitude, she should be informed and firmly opposed.

The original dream was fixed here.

But judging from what happened next, everything was the same as Haruyama Mirai's cry at that time.

Ji Li's ending was extremely miserable.

Everyone he met died because of this, and Chunshan tried his best to leave only three sentences and one photo in the future.

Including himself, although he was not dead, he lost all his memory and was assigned to the Seventh Branch fifty years later.

This was the information Ji Li had previously mastered, and combined with the Miao Jiang incident, it also gave him a more complete restoration.

Perhaps, the truth fifty years ago was this...

At that time, a group of six people, headed by Ji Li, who were affiliated with the first branch, planned an extremely large confrontational plan.

The object of confrontation is obviously Tianhai.

But unfortunately, the gap in strength could not be made up by calculation, and Ji Li returned in defeat.

As a result, relatives and friends are separated.

It was also during this period that Miao Jiang somehow found a loophole in Tianhai, thereby escaping from control and becoming a free man.

In the first branch, only Ji Li and Chunshan Mirai are left.

I do not know how long it has been.

After learning from the painful experience, Ji Li decided to turn defeat into victory and once again launched a plan that failed or failed.

But this plan also failed.

It directly led to Chun Shan's tragic death in the future, and Ji Li lost his memory. He has been sinking to this day and only just woke up.

This should be the complete timeline.

But it's just an outline, still not specific enough.

First of all, the arrest of Miao Jiang occurred fifty years ago, which should be around the time of the first confrontation plan.

How could Ji Li have enough position or ability to do this at that time?

Secondly, the big event Ji Li guessed.

Whether it refers to the first confrontational plan or the second plan to turn defeat into victory cannot be determined;

Finally, there is a contradiction in this truth that cannot be explained after all, Tong En and his wife.

According to Tongguan, Ji Li took his parents away with several men in black robes eighteen years ago.

In other words, Tong En and his wife gave birth to Tong Guan as free persons, and even lived together for seven years...

This time difference is too long.

Moreover, according to the information revealed in the dream, both the first plan and the second plan failed.

Tong En and his wife have no ability to return to freedom.

Ji Li silently lit a cigarette for himself and looked into the distance with confusion in the increasingly cold wind of the night.

He already knew enough, but many things became increasingly unexplainable.

But in any case, Tongen and his wife died, eighteen years ago.

Three years later, their human skulls appeared on Ji Li's statue and were worshiped by white-robed ghosts.

Later, Tianhai recovered the human skull, wiped out the cave under the moat, and hid it on the underground floor where the store manager worked.

Then, another problem arises.

Where did that statue go?

White-robed ghost, where have you gone?

Mu Nianmei, you must know a lot of things...

Ji Li took a deep breath of cigarette and knew that Mu Nianmei's matter was not that simple. This was a branch line.

Perhaps from this branch line, we can also detect some main line information from the side.

The river wind blew his long hair, gradually cooling down the ups and downs in his heart, and he calmed down after a moment.

Because of Li Yi's words, he got a large-scale progress, but it was not enough.

Things cannot be solved overnight.

Today, his real target is still Gu Xingjian for his fifth store manager assignment.

As long as his inner demons are not eliminated, Ji Li will always be one step behind Gu Xingjian.

He finally smoked up the cigarette, threw it under his feet, stamped it out, and walked quickly towards the door of the seventh branch.

…

The time has passed midnight, announcing that a complete day has slipped away.

At this time when the nightlife had just reached its peak, there was silence inside the Seventh Branch.

Perhaps because news of the store manager's assignment spread like wildfire, many store employees were afraid to show their faces out of fear and curiosity.

Ji Li dragged his tired body and gradually returned to the corner where he loved the most.

In the dark hall, a pair of eyes looked through the window at the starry sky outside.

A plane flashed with colorful lights and flew slowly past the narrow window.

After everything was arranged, Ji Li suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of emptiness and loneliness.

He even began to think about where the plane was going and why the passengers set off at this time from an ordinary person's perspective.

At this time, the female voice changed into a blue and white porcelain cheongsam and slowly appeared next to him.

She also followed Ji Li's gaze towards the sky, but the plane no longer appeared in the window.

Look at that star, how bright it is.

The female voice thought Ji Li was looking at the starry sky and said such meaningless words.

Ji Li was interrupted. He pressed his neck gently and took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

Will you go with me this time?

The existence of female voices has always been strange.

As Ji Li communicated more and more deeply with many store managers, he also learned about a current situation.

The will of other branches appears in a mechanical customer service mode.

In other words, among the ten branches, only the female voice in the seventh branch is so humane, even like a living person.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything, because Ji Li is here, so this place is special.

But since it is humanized, it means that the female voice has its own purpose.

Ji Li didn't care what her purpose was.

Just like when they first met, what the female voice said made sense.

“We are all rootless souls hoping for redemption.”

This sentence touched him and made him unable to feel any resentment towards the female voice.

In this world, perhaps there are only two of them, the same kind of thing.

I can't go again. Last time I went with you, I was deprived of some permissions.

For example, if you lose the qualification to go out, you will no longer have other abilities.

Now I'm just an artificial lady trapped in the seventh branch?

The female voice used some jokes to cover up her loneliness. She was really sad.

She took the opportunity to peek at Ji Li, but he did not look back at her.

This made her even sadder.

Ji Li's hand was still pressed on the cigarette box, but he didn't open it after all.

In silence, he put them back into his pocket, stood up slowly, and said softly:

When I come back alive, I will restore your permission to go out.

I am the store manager of the seventh branch, and I have the final say here.

In this silent night, many stories have just happened and many things have just ended.

But when he left, she was smiling.
