Chapter 1263: Dominate the Crowd
Sent away the messy Yuko Sawai, Li Xuehao came to the place where Saburo Sugimoto worked, Sugimoto Building, according to the address of Sayuri Chiba.
At this time, it was not yet time to get off work, and it was estimated that Saburo Sugimoto was still working, and Li Xuehao regretted coming a little early. But it's all here, so it's naturally impossible to go back.
Sayuri Chiba also gave him Saburo Sugimoto's phone number yesterday, so he could just try to call.
I don't know if Saburo Sugimoto didn't answer personal calls during work, or if he didn't hear it, and called twice in a row, but no one answered.
Since this is the case, Li Xuehao does not force it, he is ready to go up by himself.
Wearing a high school uniform, he was eye-catching, but neither the front desk nor the security guards stepped forward to interrogate him, allowing him to enter the building smoothly.
Although the elevator has been repaired, and there is more than one elevator, Li Xuehao did not take it, but took the stairway. It's not that he's afraid that there will be a problem with the elevator, and even if there is, it won't pose a threat to him. It was precisely because there was no problem with the elevator that he took the stairway.
From the moment he approached the Sugimoto Building, he had already faintly felt a dark and evil aura, not the evil aura of vampires, but with a rancid smell that made people want to hide their noses and stay away.
Ordinary people can't smell it, but for a cultivator like him, it couldn't be clearer.
According to Sayuri Chiba's description, since there are evil spirits, it is normal to have a rancid smell, but the clear rancid smell has not dissipated, but has been condensed in the Sugimoto Building, that is, the evil spirits have not left, but have been hiding somewhere in the building.
This is somewhere, it is possible to be on any floor of the building, so you can do a "carpet" search by taking the stairway floor by floor.
Of course, he didn't need to actually walk through every floor, he just needed to let go of his senses.
Starting from the bottom, Li Xuehao slowly climbed the stairs.
There is no one in the hallway, and no one will take the stairs thanklessly when there is an elevator. Moreover, the height of the entire building is twenty or thirty floors, and it is not easy for ordinary people to climb up on their legs alone.
Li Xuehao took a walk, going up one floor at a time, until he reached the tenth floor, and the rancid smell became stronger. But the demon wasn't here, and the reason it smelled so rancid was because it had stayed here, and it wasn't long ago.
This made Li Xuehao feel like "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go", he just came to find this evil ghost, but he didn't expect the other party to appear at the right time.
He quickened his pace, and noticed that there were traces of the demon on every floor, and he wondered if it had stopped on every floor or if it was looking for something.
Li Xuehao had a hunch that the evil ghost was staring at ...... No, it should be said that the mastermind behind the manipulation of that evil ghost must have some intention to target Saburo Sugimoto, not to simply kill him. Because if it was just to kill Saburo Sugimoto, he wouldn't have stayed until now, and with Saburo Sugimoto's half-bucket water onmyoji level that he didn't even have as a god, he didn't know how he died.
So another purpose is inevitable.
While thinking about it, Li Xuehao came to the twenty-third floor, where the aura of evil ghosts is the strongest, and it is on this floor! It is precisely this floor that is the office of Sugimoto Saburo, and it has obviously come to "chat" with Sugimoto Saburo again.
In that case, you can go directly to Saburo Sugimoto's office.
Li Xuehao unfolded his senses and clearly located the position of Saburo Sugimoto, and he stepped into the door with the words Sugimoto Co., Ltd. written on it.
But as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped, this is not a downstairs lobby, it is a private office place, and it is natural to be stopped by the front desk.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?" The front desk lady is a young woman in her twenties, wearing very delicate makeup, wearing a decent dress, even if she doesn't look very beautiful, but under the background of dress and makeup, she still gives people a feeling of beauty.
"I'm looking for Mr. Saburo Sugimoto. Li Xuehao naturally wouldn't break in, and said euphemistically.
"Looking for the president?" The front desk lady was a little surprised, but she was very dedicated, "I'm sorry, do you have a reservation?"
"All you have to do is tell Mr. Sugimoto that my name is Koji Manaka. Li Xuehao is not arrogant when he says this, he believes that the identity of Sayuri Chiba's fiancé is still worth seeing Saburo Sugimoto.
The front desk lady looked at him, obviously hesitating, but in the end, maybe he didn't look like he was lying, so she said, "So, please wait a minute." With that, she picked up the front desk phone and prepared to dial.
At this moment, a woman walked out of it, carrying a bag on her shoulder, and it seemed that she was ready to go back.
"Mrs. Sugimoto. Li Xuehao didn't expect such a coincidence, he recognized this woman, it was Sugimoto Saburo's wife, Sugimoto Tomoko and Ko.
"Manaka-kun?" Yukako Sugimoto, who was about to go out, was taken aback, looked at him in disbelief, and then looked behind him again, "Did you get together with Sayuri?" In her opinion, Sayuri also came with her, after all, Sayuri-kun was not familiar with them.
Seeing the familiar conversation between the two, the front desk lady who was about to make a phone call also put down the phone and looked at them with curiosity in her eyes.
"No, I'm the only one. Li Xuehao shook his head and said.
Sugimoto Yukako was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered: "Is there something wrong with Manaka-kun?"
Li Xuehao had clearly sensed that the evil ghost was now by Sugimoto Saburo's side, but Sugimoto Saburo still didn't realize anything: "I'm looking for Mr. Sugimoto, can I come into his office to talk?"
Although Sugimoto Tomoko felt that it was a bit abrupt and rude for him to say such a thing, he still said politely, "Okay, please come with me." ”
Li Xuehao followed her in, walked through the office area with many employees, and came to an office door.
Yukako Sugimoto stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon Saburo Sugimoto's voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”
Sugimoto Yukako walked in first, but out of politeness, she made a gesture of please before that, and Li Xuehao followed her.
In the office, Saburo Sugimoto, who was sitting behind his desk, was looking at the door: "Tomowako...... Zhenzhong-kun?" The final tone seemed very surprised, probably I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected person to visit.
"Mr. Sugimoto, take the liberty of interrupting. Li Xuehao said politely.
Saburo Sugimoto got up from his seat, as a courtesy, and asked, "Did Manaka-kun get up with Sayuri?" Obviously, he had the same thoughts as his wife.
"Manaka-kun came alone. Yukako Sugimoto next to him said.
"Oh?" Saburo Sugimoto was even more surprised, and also confused.
"Mr. Sugimoto, although it is a little rude, can I ask you to go out first?" Li Xuehao asked lightly, his eyes looked behind Sugimoto Saburo's desk, ordinary people even said that the onmyoji who was not cultivated enough could not see the existence of that evil ghost at all, but for him, it was clear.
Behind the desk, there stood a virtual shadow, the shadow was the size of a human, but it was close to three meters tall, with a hideous face, sharp fangs, and a head with two horns, and sure enough, it was the same as Sayuri Chiba described, this was a demon.
