Chapter 258 Wild Ghost Village
There is no way around this mountain ridge, so you can only take the valley road below.
But this road entrance has been blocked by the village in front of you. This is a stop on the Yellow Spring Road, called "Wild Ghost Village".
The ghosts in all directions are the ghosts in the village.
Without exception, they are all incomplete. These are the disabled ghosts who were tortured and crippled in the previous stops. There is only one purpose for stopping here.
That is to catch the other ghosts passing by, snatch their complete bodies, and go to the next stop.
The fifth branch is much faster than the seventh branch.
It seems that they have passed through Wangxiangtai, Evil Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain in succession, and are now blocked in Wild Ghost Village and cannot move forward.
"Seventh branch?"
The leading woman was shocked when she heard Ji Li take the lead in announcing his name, and couldn't help but look at Ji Li again carefully.
Ji Li's appearance is actually very outstanding. Although his hair is a little messy, it can't hide his handsome face.
Moreover, his temperament always carries a kind of desolate and bleak feeling, which makes people stay away from him, but also makes people want to explore him, and finally immerse themselves in his gray-black eyes.
Ji Li, this name is not unfamiliar.
The Seventh Branch has never participated in the joint reception mission, which led to the other branches to believe that the Seventh Branch has closed down or does not exist at all.
Until the last Kyoto mission, although Xue Tinghai did not deliberately spread it.
But the Seventh Branch has entered the ears and eyes of the other branches, especially the manager of that branch, Ji Li.
This name represents profound strategy and unparalleled wisdom.
In the Kyoto mission, the Fourth Branch was completely manipulated by Ji Li, and a calculation made Xue Tinghai unable to resist and returned empty-handed!
But this Ji Li was bold and cruel, and he had many strange plans. It is said that before the mission started, he designed to kill an executive clerk of the Fourth Branch.
Ji Li, the manager of this unknown small branch, has gradually spread his evil reputation in various branches.
Li Congrong, the manager of the fifth branch, had specifically told everyone before setting off on this mission.
For Ji Li, if you can kill him, kill him, if you can't kill him, don't get involved with him too much.
The woman who is obviously in a leadership position among the four is called Du Xiyue. She can be said to be one of the most difficult characters in the fifth branch besides Li Congrong.
She has two antagonistic sins and is extremely powerful. She is like a deputy manager.
After hearing Ji Li's name, Du Xiyue was not shocked for too long, but she didn't know how this man got into the fluorescent transparent cover.
Looking at his weird shape and lazy civet cat, she became more alert and took a step back.
Although this manager Ji is a little strange, they are all trapped here now. She guessed that Ji Li must be very powerful.
It's just right to borrow his momentum to get out of the current predicament.
As for Li Congrong's previous warning not to associate with him, she ignored it.
There are four of them here, and the total number of sin objects is 5. Can't they deal with Ji Li alone?
Thinking of this, Du Xiyue's eyes turned, and then said:
"So you are the manager of the seventh branch. Excuse me, my name is Du Xiyue."
Then she pointed to a nervous man in gray sportswear next to her: "This is Lang Qing, this is..."
Ji Li waved his hand, not focusing on them at all, but turned his head to look at the surrounding ghosts.
The light emitted by the fluorescent transparent cover has shown signs of weakening, which means that the time for the sin objects is coming soon.
"I'm not interested in knowing your names. Where is your manager Li Congrong?"
Ji Li has only two concerns about the fifth branch, one is the mysterious manager, and the other is the sin object in his hand.
According to Tongguan, Li Congrong is an old man in his sixties. He can still be the manager of the fifth branch at such an old age, relying on the two sin objects in his hands.
However, he doesn't know what the specific effect of the sin object is.
But I heard from Tongguan that among the ten major branches, among the many store managers who have more than three or four sinful items, this Li Congrong can actually occupy the top position with two sinful items.
Ji Li guessed that the sinful items in Li Congrong's hand were probably all from the store manager's tasks, and they were extremely rare.
Du Xiyue's face turned cold. Ji Li's attitude was too rebellious. He didn't take them seriously at all.
A fat man with a broad body next to him pointed at Ji Li and shouted in a muffled voice:
"A small store manager of the seventh branch, do you think you can get away with winning Xue Tinghai?"
But the man named Lang Qing seemed more restrained. He pulled the corner of the fat man's clothes.
Du Xiyue glared at the fat man and was about to stop him to prevent him from ruining his plan.
But Ji Li turned his head, looked directly at the fat man's angry eyes, and asked calmly:
"What's your name?"
"Feng Siping, what's wrong with telling you my name? Look at your thin arms and legs. We have four..."
"Bang!"
A gunshot interrupted Feng Siping's words, and a bullet hole appeared on his forehead. A stream of blood flowed into his wide-open eyes, and his fat body fell to the ground.
Lang Qing hid behind Du Xiyue when the gunshot sounded, and dared not show his head again, let alone look at his companion's body.
Du Xiyue and the other woman reacted much better than him, but they were all shocked by the sharp shot.
They looked straight at Ji Li who raised his hand to kill, unable to say a word.
Ji Li put the pistol back into his arms and raised his hand to flick the beard of the civet cat sleeping on his shoulder: "Now you can answer my question."
Du Xiyue didn't want to be an enemy of Ji Li. Her idea was to use Ji Li's strength to move forward.
Because, from the beginning of the mission, their fifth branch was divided into two parts.
Under the gate of hell, a total of five people, Du Xiyue, Feng Siping, Lang Qing, Liu Feng and Qiu Xue, were assigned to Huangquan Road.
But the store managers Li Congrong and Li Guanqi, as well as the deputy store manager Shi Dalu and the clerk Tan Xin, were assigned to the City of Wasted Death.
The two most powerful beings, the store manager and the deputy store manager, were assigned together, and Du Xiyue, who owned two antagonistic crimes, became the leader of the other department.
She led five people through Huangquan Road, climbed to the Wangxiang Tower, and passed through the Evil Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, going through many hardships.
It seems that no one has been lost for the time being, but in fact, they all relied on sinful items to fight their way through. Now everyone's sinful items have been used once.
Then he was blocked at the entrance of the Wild Ghost Village, unable to move any further.
Liu Feng disappeared suddenly for some unknown reason, and Ji Li was replaced instead. The two must be related to the crime.
But it was a pity that Du Xiyue looked at Ji Li's face and found it hard to ask who had used the sinful object.
The internal power of the Fifth Branch is extremely chaotic. Many clerks are cooperating with the Ninth Branch and the Tenth Branch, but more people are doing business with the First Branch.
For example, Du Xiyue's two sinful items were all exchanged with Lan Yu, the chief steward of the first branch.
Therefore, in many cases, information about criminal items is not exchanged between store clerks.
Because Du Xiyue wanted to borrow Ji Li, she went through everything in detail and recounted her experience from the beginning, from arriving at Yegui Gang, to Yegui Village, to being suddenly attacked.
By the time these words were finished, the fluorescent transparent cover was on the verge of breaking.
Du Xiyue's face became more and more anxious: "Manager Ji, let alone the matters of different branches, you and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope now.
We are at our wits' end. We can only wait for the effect of the sinful object to disappear before we can fight it out. What do you think? "
