Weird Regulator

The next day.

The sky had just brightened, and from the side of Tongguan's sleeping face in the corner of the curtain, the mobile phone on the bedside table began to buzz.

Tongguan opened his sleepy eyes, fell on the pillow and froze for a few seconds, and then slowly stood up.

He grabbed the cell phone on the table, glanced at the caller ID, then looked at Chang Nian, who was still asleep, and tiptoed out of bed.

After gently closing the bathroom door, Tongguan picked up the phone and answered quietly:

Guan chess? How did you know I was back?

Lang Lang's laughter rang out on the phone, and Li Guanqi said without any concealment:

I was discussing things with several store managers. The store manager of the sixth branch is also here. It was she who told me that you have returned safely, brother.

Although Tongguan had been away for half a month, he was still alert as usual. He keenly captured the key points of these words, so he asked:

It's so early, why are so many of your store managers gathering together?

He glanced at the time and saw that it was just after six o'clock in the morning on December 19th.

At such an early time, many store managers gathered together, obviously there was something big going on.

Li Guanqi also knew when to say what to say, so he put away his smile and said solemnly:

I have communicated with your store manager Ji and invited him to attend this gathering.

This time, there is indeed a major event that needs to be discussed, involving more than half of the branches.

Li Guanqi actually didn't make his words very clear, and he obviously had reservations.

But Tongguan also frowned when he heard this. Although the matter of branch management has nothing to do with him, he is also a deputy store manager now.

Moreover, he also has the obligation to make the seventh branch more normal.

After thinking about it again and again, he looked at the sink for a long time and suddenly remembered something, so he said:

By the way, last time you came to the World Heritage Museum to save me, you lost some criminal items.

Now that I am out of danger and have brought them all back, I will make an appointment to deliver these things to you.

Gu Xingjian and Miao Jiang designed Tongguan, and their target was white candles, which were definitely not these sinful objects.

With their status, they don't take these things seriously, so naturally they won't take them away.

So after Tongguan escaped from danger, those criminal items naturally fell into his pocket.

However, he obviously would not keep it for himself, so he took this opportunity to return all the sins.

Li Guanqi agreed happily, but after hesitating for a moment he asked:

Does the store manager agree with this?

Before Tongguan could speak, the door knocked softly outside.

Tong was as caring as a mirror and said softly to the other end of the phone:

Don't worry. After saying that, he hung up the phone and walked out of the bathroom.

He first closed the bedroom door, and then came to the door.

Sure enough, after opening the door, Ji Li was standing outside.

Today's Ji Li is still dressed as before, but her waist-length hair has been tied up, making her look more energetic.

He held a cigarette in his left hand, glanced at Tongguan calmly, and whispered:

Come with me out to discuss some things and see your old friends.

The calendar crime object can be seen as being taken away from Ji Li, so he already knew that Chang Nian would succeed.

In his opinion, even if Tongguan were to die, he would never die in a three-star promotion mission.

…

When Tongguan walked down with a cloth bag, he saw Ji Li standing on the bank of the moat, staring at the cold river water.

When he got closer, he remembered that Ji Li couldn't drive.

So he could only put down the bag, return to the door of the branch and drive back the pickup truck that was parked previously.

When the vehicle drove out of the moat, Tongguan asked while driving:

Where are we going?

Ji Li still leaned his head against the window and faintly said a place name.

“Wangdu Hot Pot Restaurant.”

Wangdu Hotpot Restaurant is the third branch, located in Suchenghe.

Tongguan, who didn't know much about outside branch information, certainly didn't know what the place name represented, so he just drove.

Ji Li just looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word.

In fact, Ji Li is a very silent person. No matter how well he looks, he can't hide the tiredness in his soul.

For example, he likes to sit under the portrait and drink alone, or he always likes to lean his head against the car window...

Actions like this often give people the illusion of laziness and decadence.

Of course, Tongguan was not a taciturn person, but when facing Ji Li, he really couldn't find a topic to chat about.

As a result, the atmosphere in the carriage became as dull as when on a mission.

In this state, Tongguan could only drive as fast as possible to meet some people he could chat with earlier.

While Ji Li looked at the scenery unconsciously, he endured the whispers of the two personalities.

After a quick glance, a short figure with gray skin appeared at the window of a certain building.

It stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Ji Li's departure with a pair of white eyeballs without pupils.

…

Wangdu hotpot restaurant.

This time the person greeted was the host, Su Chenghe.

Next to him was Li Guanqi, who was wearing a light gray cotton suit and a bright smile.

These two play a book and play a chess game. They are young but have outstanding temperament.

The former's appearance, which is unforgettable for a lifetime, often attracts everyone's attention.

Although the latter is slightly inferior in appearance, his elegance and clear temperament will make people feel very close to him.

When the pickup truck stopped in front of the store, Tongguan and Ji Li got off on both sides.

Su Chenghe and Li Guanqi moved forward simultaneously, first congratulating Tongguan for his escape, and then nodding to Ji Li.

Under their guidance, the four of them entered the private room at the end of the hotpot restaurant.

This private room is named Zhuoxue, which has a wonderful charm of hot pot on a snowy day.

At the same time, in this private room, Xue Tinghai and Gu Qingyun reached a deal to get rid of Li Guanqi.

But when the private room door opened, the first person Ji Li saw in the room was Xue Tinghai.

Xue Tinghai's face looked worse than the last time they met. The scar on his face looked like a resurrected centipede under the steam.

There were five or six people in this spacious private room.

Luo Xian and Bai Huaiguang of the Sixth Branch;

Huangfu Jiajia and Chen Jie from the eighth branch;

Zhu Xiaoning, the No. 10 store, and an unknown young man.

Outside the private room, Wang Dajui and Lu Caiwei were still standing.

If you include Su Chenghe, Li Guanqi, and himself.

Today's meeting can be called a store manager meeting, and it includes seven major branches.

Su Chenghe pointed to the two free seats and said to Ji Li and Tongguan:

You two, please take a seat.

On the way to his seat, Ji Li observed everyone's performance and found that they all had a look of anxiety and uneasiness on their faces.

There was even an almost uncontrollable anger on Xue Tinghai's face.

However, he also noticed that among everyone present, only Luo Xian looked out of place.

She kept her head lowered, her face covered with scattered hair, and she secretly took out a bag from her handbag and stuffed it into her mouth.

Luo Xian didn't seem as anxious as other store managers.

Tongguan also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the store manager's meeting, so he quietly asked Ji Li:

“What does today’s rally mean?”

Ji Li sat in his seat, first glanced at Huangfu Jiajia on his right, and shook his head.

In fact, he only received a call from Li Guanqi this morning, claiming that a major situation had occurred and that all store managers needed to be summoned for discussion.

But Li Guanqi didn't say what the specific theme of the meeting was, and Ji Li didn't ask.

As soon as he sat down, Xue Tinghai couldn't hold it any longer. He took a sip of wine, dropped the cup heavily on the table, and said in a low voice:

Everyone is here, let's get to the point.

Li Guanqi, who convened the meeting, glanced at him and stood up. After looking around, he said with a heavy face:

“The reason why we are calling together a total of seven store managers today is because our branches all have one thing in common.

That is, there are always invasions by foreign ghosts.

Ji Li frowned when he heard this. It seemed that in the Seventh Branch, the ghost incident had not happened for a long time since the last time the headless ghost almost defected.

And when he thought about the expressions of the store managers, he felt a sense of enlightenment.

However, he still remembered Luo Xian's words that the invasion of foreign ghosts had only occurred in the sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth branches before.

Could it be...

really.

Li Guanqi's next sentence directly made the matter clear.

The invasion of alien ghosts that once only occurred in the sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth branches has further expanded.

Late last night, the third, fourth, and fifth branches were all invaded by aliens.

even……

Xue Tinghai's face was extremely gloomy. Before he could finish speaking, he stood up and said:

Even my brother was almost killed by that ghost inside the hotel and is still unconscious!
