Chapter 59 Private Collection

An autumn rain blew down a large number of red leaves in Shanming City, and every street seemed to be covered with a desolate red carpet.

The rain had not yet dried up, and mixed with the fallen leaves. Pedestrians stepped on it, which was soft and unreal.

The weather was getting colder and colder. The temperature was even lower at the moat. The three men and one woman standing on the shore exhaled a breath of water like white mist.

The people were dressed differently, but their expressions were all gloomy. Today was 8:30 in the morning of October 27th, the beginning of the day.

The four of them had just experienced a life-and-death journey for several hours, and they were still exhausted on the river bank, looking into the distance.

"Ji Li, based on my understanding of him, he should not die."

A gust of wind blew, and Yu Guo's hair danced as his arms shrank, clamped the clothes on his body, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

Next to him, a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth raised the collar of his windbreaker to block the cold wind, his eyes drooping.

"Ji Li has a big secret. I really want to know if he can survive in that situation."

This sentence actually explains why several people have been waiting here until now. No one cares whether Ji Li lives or dies.

The main reason is that they want to see why he can survive.

The smoke and water vapor mixed together and blew towards the man and woman in another position against the wind.

Chang Nian sniffed with some disgust and glared at the people around him. Like Fang Shenyan, Tongguan also had a cigarette in his hand.

She became a little anxious as she watched, and grabbed Tongguan's hand that was about to smoke, pulled the cigarette down, and threw it on the ground.

"Smoke! Why don't you smoke to death!"

Tongguan frowned and looked at Chang Nian with some annoyance.

Since sending Xiaoqi home, he has not been in a good mood.

Xiaoqi is a poor girl. Her father has been involved in a supernatural mission and died, and her mother died early at home, leaving only an elderly grandfather.

Tongguan felt sorry for her, but he could do nothing.

While he was waiting for Ji Li, he always felt that something was brewing quietly, and his mind was a little messy.

Chang Nian's actions at this moment disrupted his train of thought. He suddenly knocked down Chang Nian's entanglement. Although he didn't say anything, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette box again and put it in his mouth.

Chang Nian was originally irritable, and she became even more angry when she saw Tongguan's actions. Once again, she reached out and took out the cigarette and threw it away.

"I let you smoke!"

"Since you don't like the smell of cigarettes, why do you want to marry me?"

"Bullshit! Didn't you ask me to marry you?"

Yu Guo and Fang Shenyan's heads were about to explode. In the few hours of waiting for Ji Li, the couple quarreled almost half of the time.

For this reason, they deliberately kept a distance from the two, but they didn't expect them to be more and more excessive.

"How did they last so long?"

Fang Shenyan looked at the two people who were arguing more and more fiercely across the autumn wind, with confusion in his eyes, and he didn't seem to understand their lifestyle.

On the contrary, Yu Guo's eyes revealed a kind of longing and yearning, and there was also a hint of envy and sadness.

Watching closely, he said from the bottom of his heart: "It would be great if I could be like them."

Fang Shenyan turned his head and looked at Yu Guo suspiciously, and then thought of a name that Yu Guo had been thinking about when they first met: "A Lian."

He silently took another puff of cigarette and stopped talking.

Gradually, the cold wind rose again, and when the sun in the sky released a cold white light, a figure came from a distance.

That figure, completely wrapped in a black windbreaker, staggered, and looked particularly pale and thin as he limped.

The long hair was blown around by the strong wind, but his shoulders were particularly stable, and even a red leaf that fell on his shoulders did not fall with his movement.

Fang Shenyan and Yu Guo's eyes were focused on the figure at the first time, and at the same time, they showed an expression of "as expected" on their faces.

They were the ones who believed that Ji Li would come back the most. After all, these two people were the ones who knew Ji Li the best and knew that he was not a simple person.

Ji Li looked a little dazed, at least on the surface. The four thin shadows on the ground indicated that he had one more soul, but he had been alert to this matter.

The mission was completed. He only had to identify one ghost to leave, and he could return from Bogu Building, which also meant that some of the six ghosts in this mission were destined to disappear.

Six clerks, six ghosts, five returned, and five ghosts were handed in.

And the other one might be in Ji Li's body...

He heard the calls of Fang and Yu, and then he looked at the moat, where four figures stood.

Fang Shenyan and Yu Guo were already walking towards him, and Tongguan and Chang Nian seemed to be still entangled.

Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief, facing the two people who came hurriedly with a lot of questions, and waved his hand before they spoke.

With a pale face, he pulled open a corner of his windbreaker, revealing his right leg. The entire pair of pants was completely soaked in blood, and this leg was almost disabled on the way back.

He was completely dragged back. Seeing an acquaintance at this moment, Ji Li's brain became more and more dizzy, and a sense of sleepiness swept through his mind.

He persisted to the limit, his body softened and fell straight down, but was immediately supported by Fang Shenyan and Yu Guo.

The two people from Tongguan on the other side also followed, looked at Ji Li, who was pale and bloodless, with his eyes closed, and nodded.

"It can be seen that he barely survived."

...

In the lobby of the hotel, the door was pushed open with a bang. Fang and Yu supported the seriously injured Ji Li and entered the door first, followed by Tongguan and the other two.

It seemed that this place was in two different seasons from the outside world. At this moment, the warm breeze blew on the face and the faint fragrance filled the nose, refreshing the heart and dispelling the fatigue of a night of running around.

"Congratulations to the seventh branch of Tianhai Hotel, Fang Shenyan, Yu Guo, Tongguan, and Chang Nian, the staff, for returning smoothly..."

It was still the familiar welcome speech. The female voice in the hotel's radio was still sweet and clear, making people feel like they were meeting a sweet rain.

In fact, only Ji Li was injured, and it was not a difficult injury to heal.

While Ji Li was healing, red lights suddenly flew out of the bodies of Fang Shenyan and the other four people, gathered together, and formed a red palm with four fingers in the air.

The last red light in the body of Ji Li, who was sleeping on the ground, half asleep and half awake, also flew out by itself and rushed into the shadow of the palm. With its joining, the palm became complete.

But then, the hand was still not engraved by the hotel, nor was it assigned a room, but continued to hover in the air.

Ji Li replenished his blood and repaired his wounds in the supernatural power, woke up little by little, lay in the hall, opened his gray and black eyes, and looked at the ceiling of the hotel.

At the same time, a voice sounded again in the hotel's radio, and the target was directly pointed at Ji Li:

"Congratulations to Mr. Ji Li, the acting manager of the seventh branch of Tianhai Hotel, for his successful return.

However, you cannot keep some of the ghosts privately, and you must hand them over to the hotel."

I have something to do today, so I posted it in advance
