Chapter 697: Make way for them
Tianmingshan Cemetery, Ninth Branch.
There was silence in the corridor on the top floor, and only emergency lights were flashing in the darkness.
Follow the light of the indicator light and advance to the deepest room.
There is a door sign hanging in front of the locked door with the words "501".
The structure of the ninth branch is slightly different from that of other branches. It is clearly the first room on the fifth floor but is arranged in the innermost part.
The locked door was the same darkness.
The pure black curtains are thick and wide, covering all the windows in the room without any light.
This small house is not stained with dust and regular furniture. It can be seen that there is a person who pays great attention to hygiene.
Every door in the room was locked, as if he was afraid that others would enter.
At this time, there was only a small gap left in the door of the second bedroom, but there was also a darkness that could not be seen through inside.
Gu Xingjian stepped on the soft carpet with barefoot, holding her body slightly, holding an oil paintbrush in her hand, and was painting something.
His hands were very stable, dipping them in oil paint while moving his handwriting.
In that ordinary face, there was only seriousness and concentration.
A little moonlight that squeezed in from under the thick curtains could faintly illuminate the things he drew.
It turned out to be a corpse sitting cross-legged on the carpet.
It was said to be a corpse, but except that he did not breathe, his limbs were as normal and his skin color was as normal.
But on the face of the corpse, the left eye was wide open, and there was a milky white turbid inside.
Compared to human eyes, it is more like a prosthetic eye.
And the right eye is even more strange, and it is a dark hole.
Except for these strange eyes, the rest of the corpse is no different from that of a living person.
Gu Xingjian faced the corpse, very close, as if he was about to stick it on.
The oil-colored pen on the palm is completely erasing the paleness on the lower jaw with flesh-colored paint.
Perhaps, this is the direct reason why the corpse remains alive.
When the unwilling moonlight wanted to see clearly, the wind blew a corner of the curtain, and the bleak moonlight finally illuminated the corpse.
The face of the corpse was actually similar to Gu Xingjian.
Gu Xingjian turned his head with a little dissatisfaction, put down the colored pen and pulled the curtains back, so that the room would return to darkness.
He stood next to the corpse, his eyes deep like a strange black hole, staring at the face that was particularly similar to him.
"Brother, wait a little longer.
I will get your right eye soon, and you will be complete again by then.
By then, you and I will usher in a new life.”
However, at this moment, the door of the outside world was suddenly knocked.
The sudden voice interrupted the secret dialogue between Gu Xingjian and the "big brother" he said.
Huang Banxian's shriveled and desolate voice echoed outside the door.
"Shop Manager, everyone who was in the meeting has arrived. When will you come down?"
Gu Xingjian did not respond, but hummed an unknown tune, picked up the oil painted pen on the carpet, and left slowly.
But just before locking the door, he looked at the body with an unknown gaze.
What's strange is that the remaining left eye of the corpse also turned and looked at him straight for a moment.
...
Five people sat on the side of the round table.
Some of them whispered to each other, but most of them kept silent and looked nervous.
Clyde frowned and kept playing with the beads in his palm, with great worries.
A cute girl with two ponytails stared at him for a long time, then suddenly raised her hand and hit him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Ke, where have you been gone for so long?"
Clyde was startled, pulled out of what he thought, turned around helplessly and looked at the girl, whispering:
"Teacher Jiang, I have a secret mission, so I can't disclose it."
This cute girl, named Jiang Xi, is Clyde's Chinese teacher, and is also the "broken mouth" in Huang Banxian's mouth.
But without this shady girl, both of them would die on the spot on the last time the Ghost Child Task.
Jiang Xi pouted her lips, her face full of distrust, and said in an old-fashioned manner:
"I said Xiao Ke smashed it, lying is not a good habit.
The last task of our branch was for you and the charlatan. It has been quiet for so long, so where did the task come from?”
Due to the particularity of Tiannan Drama Academy, except for a few people in the ninth branch, the seven clerks "disappeared".
Gu Xingjian learned this because he was the store manager.
From this we can also see how terrible the ghost in the academy is, even the rules of the branch can be covered up.
Clyde naturally would not communicate with her much, and he is now full of the past.
Gu Xingjian is likely to know the "act" between him and Ji Li, but there has been no movement for so long.
Based on his understanding of Gu Xingjian, the other party would not break up in public, but he must be planning something secretly.
He looked down at the time, and it was already 23:00 on December 7th.
Just a few hours ago, Gu Xingjian suddenly announced that the fifth store manager mission was about to start and announced the rules.
In front of all the clerks, he explained that he could execute the game world and needed a deputy shop manager to execute the real world.
Because it is of great importance, he gave him several hours of consideration and waited for someone to register on his own initiative.
It was then that Clyde forwarded the news to Ji Li.
In fact, the ninth branch has not had a deputy store manager until now.
It’s not that Gu Xingjian is not assigned, but that no one is willing to take on this unknown position.
Of course, it can be seen from this store manager task that maybe this is a wise decision.
What troubles Clyde now is that he is beginning to hesitate to sign up.
If you really want to save your life, of course you can hide if you can.
The horror of the store manager's mission is obvious to all. The intensity of the ghost is not at the same level as that of ordinary tasks.
But from Clyde's perspective, he was considering whether this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It is difficult to perform the store manager's task, but if you can obtain a powerful sin, you will add more solid survival security to yourself.
What's more, Clyde now urgently needs a highly confrontational sin that has not been "contaminated" by Gu Xingjian.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Xingjian executes the game world, and he conducts the real world. In theory, it will be more difficult for the other party to cheat.
In this way, all he has to deal with is ghosts, and there is no situation where he cannot escape.
At worst, after obtaining the sinful object, you will remain in place, wait for someone to get the puzzle and return lying down.
Some thoughts cannot be ignored once they appear in my mind and become more and more intense.
He repeatedly thought about the current situation, and his fear of Gu Xingjian put him in a situation where he was in a difficult situation.
Should we take the initiative to fight, or retreat and avoid?
Clyde turned the beads faster and faster, which meant that he was also struggling more and more.
At this moment, Huang Banxian and Gu Xingjian appeared.
Gu Xingjian came to the round table with brisk steps. Instead of sitting down, his eyes were calm and he said straightforwardly:
"A few of you here, who is ready to follow me to the store manager's mission?"
Huang Banxian stood beside him, pursed his lips, took two steps back, and did not dare to speak.
Jiang Xi also closed her mouth and sat obediently on the chair.
As for the woman with earrings that appeared last time, Yitong and the beer belly man next to her, they all dodged their eyes.
On the contrary, Lao Wei, who was talking to Huang Banxian in the Ghost Child mission before, looked directly at Gu Xingjian, feeling eager to try.
But at this time, Huang Banxian blinked at him hard, as if trying his best to stop him.
Gu Xingjian took all this into consideration, but did not care, but just looked at everyone calmly.
In this extreme atmosphere, the beads in Clyde's hand suddenly broke, and countless crystal beads rolled from the table to the ground, crackling.
In the end, he couldn't stand it and made a difficult decision.
"I'll go with you!"
Everyone looked at him with a very shocked look. Huang Banxian frowned and sighed in her heart.
Gu Xingjian looked at Clyde with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
...
At this point, the top ten branches have determined their direction of action.
The fifth store manager mission did not have any imagined factional disputes or confrontations that caused variables.
Everyone couldn't help but make way for the two of them.
Now this colorful stage is very clean.
