Weird Regulator

Tongguan's face changed drastically when he heard this. He hurriedly turned his head to look at Ji Li, only to see that Ji Li also lowered his head and frowned without saying a word.

The invasion of alien ghosts started half a year ago and is no longer a secret.

At that time, the first store to encounter such an incident was the No. 10 store.

What Tongguan experienced personally was that more than two months ago, a ghost wearing a cloak wandered outside the seventh branch.

Including not long ago, the headless ghost was almost seduced into defecting.

But judging from past events, invasions by foreign ghosts basically adopt the strategy of lurking in secret.

He was never shown entering a hotel, let alone killing a clerk.

Xue Tinghai's emotions were still a little out of control. He tapped the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice:

“I’ve heard about ghost incidents for a long time, but never this bad.

These outsiders dared to sneak directly into our hotel to assassinate the manager of the hotel.

But Tianhai said nothing about this and had no explanation!

Li Guanqi's face was also very solemn. He first comforted Xue Tinghai's emotions, and then said solemnly:

“Last night around two o’clock, the second, fourth and our fifth branches were invaded by unknown ghosts at the same time.

There is only one ghost in each branch, and their goal is very clear, which is to go straight to the head of the store.

I can tell that this alien invasion is different from the previous ones.

It comes specifically for us store managers.

It wasn't until this moment that Ji Li discovered a fresh blood stain under Li Guanqi's collar.

As for Su Chenghe, there didn't seem to be any injuries. It seemed that he was handled properly last night.

But the current situation is obviously an extremely ominous omen.

Tianhai Hotel is the most powerful supernatural place in Shanming City, and it is also the safest place of refuge.

However, a ghost sneaked into the branch openly and assassinated the store manager.

Huangfu Jiajia looked at the rising hot pot and had no desire to eat at all. She crossed her fingers and said softly:

Since the Eighth Branch had a ghost seduction incident four months ago, nothing unusual has happened.

When she said this, she glanced at Ji Li, Luo Xian and Zhu Xiaoning respectively, and then added:

“The first batch of our branches that encountered ghost incidents, the ghosts were mainly lures and never entered the hotel.

You, the second batch of victims, must have changed your mind about being outsiders...

The sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth stores, the four first batch of victim branches, all had similar experiences.

It's nothing more than outside ghosts wandering around, waiting for opportunities to lure internal defections. This method seems much softer.

As for the second, fourth and fifth stores, the three second batch of victimized stores, the intensity of their encounters has skyrocketed.

Chen Jie interrupted and analyzed at this time:

“Looking at the first batch of victim branches, one conclusion can be drawn.

The fundamental goal of an alien invasion is to make the ghost residents defect.

As for the three store managers you assassinated in the second batch, they just used sharper means to achieve their goals.

After all, killing the store manager will lead to chaos in the branch, which is likely to make it easier to achieve their fundamental goal.

This is something obvious, so Chen Jie's speech did not surprise everyone, but it also aroused deeper thinking.

Su Chenghe couldn't help but hear the sound of the woman in national costumes he had seen before, and suddenly asked:

Nearly a week ago, the woman who attacked the No. 10 store, and the ghost babies she controlled, were the same group of outside ghosts?

The person who has the most say in this matter is undoubtedly Ji Li.

Ji Li, who had not spoken since arriving at the gathering, first lit a cigarette and then said to everyone:

That woman's name is Miao Jiang, and she has a cooperative relationship with Gu Xingjian.

The ghost baby's attack on the Tenth Store should be related to the planning of these two people.

Having said this, Ji Li glanced in Zhu Xiaoning's direction.

Seeing that he was just lowering his head and playing with the tea cup, as if he was out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere, he continued:

So the ghost baby incident is what Gu Xingjian wanted to get at the Tenth Store and has nothing to do with outsiders.

The matter between Miao Jiang and Gu Xingjian has always been a hidden information and has never been known to outsiders.

So after Ji Li finished speaking, everyone was stunned and silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Li Guanqi thought about it again and again that he brought the topic back on track and analyzed:

Since Manager Ji has accurate information, let's forget about the ghost baby and just talk about foreign ghosts.

It is currently known that there is an 'foreign ghost force' outside the Tianhai Hotel.

Their goal is to release the ghost residents of the top ten branches and even bring down the Tianhai Hotel.

Then the other party’s strength…”

Having said this, Li Guanqi's face became extremely ugly, and he was unable to continue analyzing.

If such an alien force really exists, then its strength will not be inferior to that of Tianhai Hotel.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a force in Shanming City.

Although on the surface it seems that the collapse of Tianhai Hotel is a good thing.

But their identities are subordinate clerks of Tianhai Hotel, and they are all ordinary people.

It can be said that Tianhai Hotel is their biggest curse, but also their biggest guardian.

If all the ghost residents are really allowed to defect, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Tianhai, not so strong anymore...

At this time, Tongguan, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly said this, attracting everyone's attention.

He glanced at Ji Li who was smoking with his head down, took out the cigarette case and said:

“I used to be the store manager of the 11th branch, which is located in Shanghai.

But four months ago, the branch closed down for no reason, and I entered the seventh branch.

At that time, I couldn't understand why Tianhai was so powerful and its rules covered most of the Hujiang area.

But my Eleven branch will go bankrupt?

I've been looking for answers to my questions ever since.

When Tongguan mentioned the 11th branch, he subconsciously looked at Li Guanqi and found that there was also a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

He shook his head, discarding the useless emotions, and then said:

“Until, not long after I arrived at the seventh branch, I witnessed an outsider colluding with an inside ghost.

This made me start to suspect a possibility - maybe Tianhai Hotel, the 'ruler' of Shanming City, is getting weaker!

Tianhai Hotel has become weaker...

The people who can participate in this gathering are all outstanding people from the top ten branches.

There are also people who have realized this long ago.

For example, Luo Xian.

Luo Xian sat far away from the hot pot, guarding near the window, as if he didn't like the smell.

She lowered her head and picked up a raisin, put it into her mouth, and said while chewing:

“I once discussed this issue with store manager Ji, and when he told me about it, I was still skeptical.

But today, I remain skeptical, even questioning.

In fact, the silence in the room was enough to show that most store managers agreed with Tongguan's point of view.

At this moment, Luo Xian raised objections, which aroused everyone's doubts.

Luo Xian didn't give them a chance to speak, and directly expressed his opinion first:

The closure of one branch doesn't mean much. Maybe Tianhai just thinks that having only one branch in Shanghai is enough.

And the 'foreign ghost invasion' that everyone keeps talking about is just a name.

If you think about it carefully, is there really an invasion from outside?

In the first batch of branches, outsiders did not dare to enter;

In the second batch of branches, the outsiders only targeted the store managers.

We are store managers and seem to have the highest status in the branch, but we are still just one person.

It was never unusual for a ghost to enter a hotel, and it had never happened before.

As for the assassination of the store manager, why Tianhai didn’t take action, I can also explain it as:

People are the least important thing to Tianhai. It is not troublesome to replace a store manager after his death.

Luo Xian has always firmly believed that Tianhai Hotel has a dominant position in Shanming City, and no ghost can surpass it.

So her perspective on things is naturally different.

Moreover, these remarks are not unreasonable.

Both opinions were valid. For a moment, everyone in the private room fell silent again, as if there was a deadlock in the gathering.
