Chapter 114: Circle of Friends
There were four people in the oncoming car, one in the passenger seat in addition to the driver, and two people in the back seat of the vehicle.
Li Hui's gaze followed.
Sitting in the co-pilot of the car was a woman with heavy makeup and couldn't tell her age, and the makeup on her face was very gorgeous, and it could even be described as bewitching.
Sitting in the back seat of the car were two men.
One of them was about 50 years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, shaved his head, and his hair was slightly pale, but the whole person looked full of energy, and his face was serious, giving people a feeling of not smiling.
The rest was a man of about thirty, dressed in a suit, like a civil servant, his face was stiff, and there was no expression on his face, as if it was not a normal human face at all, but a wood carved out of facial features, which looked very rigid.
Li Hui's eyes were also focused on this man.
The other party gave him a very strange feeling.
It was not a living person's body at all, no matter how it looked, it looked like a dead corpse that was manipulated like a marionette, and even with Li Hui's excellent eyesight, he could faintly see the wood-like texture on the other party's body.
At the moment when the two cars staggered away.
The man sitting in the back seat also turned his head to look at him, as if sensing something.
But after glancing at Li Hui, he turned his head again, as if nothing had happened, and then the two cars drove away in different directions, one up the mountain and the other out of the mountain.
"That person, it should be the captain of the inner set who was hidden in the shadows at the headquarters of the ghost rider in the original book and didn't show up until the later stage, Lu Zhiwen, right?"
on the car.
Li Hui's eyes were thoughtful.
As for who the woman with heavy makeup was, he was not completely sure, although judging from the woman's gorgeous and bewitching makeup, it could match the 'ghost makeup Ah Hong', but it was not ruled out that it was other ghost riders in the headquarters.
Furthermore.
Li Hui also speculated about the identity of the other man in the back seat of the special car just now.
can walk with Lu Zhiwen, the captain of the internal decision, and another ghost handler, and judging from the seats of several people, the man is faintly protected in it, looking at the entire ghost handler headquarters, it is estimated that there is only the mysterious minister who has never officially appeared in the original book.
"During this time period, this mysterious minister suddenly went to the ABP, which seems to be related to the 'headquarters meeting' in Cao Yanhua's mouth." Li Hui had a realization in his heart.
But it doesn't matter.
Their encounter with Lu Zhiwen was nothing more than an episode in Li Hui's opinion, which was not surprising.
What really cares about him is that the progress of various things seems to have departed from the original plot.
The human head balloon incident in Z Mountain City has been dealt with by him, and even the supernatural passage in the Caesar Hotel has been blocked by the headquarters, which shows that Tong Qian will not be trapped in the hotel like in the original book, and then wait for Yang Jian to save him.
It doesn't matter.
Even the chai knife and the ghost newspaper are nothing in Li Hui's opinion, what really surprised him was that there was a deviation in the development of the plot, so the time when Yang Jian came to Dajing City would also change, and the flight he took would most likely not be the flight where the 'ghost pinched people' incident occurred.
If you move your whole body, many things may change later.
This made Li Hui can't help but think of the 'butterfly effect', although he has tried not to destroy the plot of the original book, and even dealing with the hungry ghost is to try to conform to the time period of the original book and minimize the impact as much as possible, but some of the things he does still inevitably make the development of various events in the world deviate from the original plot.
Of course.
If you do it all over again.
Li Hui will still make the same choice, do the same things that should be done, and will not change because of this......
Before thinking about it, the car had already driven into the city.
But the route is not the direction of the Wonting Hotel.
Because of the change of identity, Li Hui has joined the Ghost Rider Headquarters at the moment, so the headquarters has rearranged the hotel for him, from the previous Wanting Hotel to the Ping An Hotel.
Because Ping An Hotel is a special hotel for the headquarters to arrange ghost riders under its command, and the Wanting Hotel is for ghost riders outside the headquarters to live.
Of course, Shen Liang asked Li Hui for the change of the hotel, if he wants to continue to live in the Wanting Hotel, it doesn't matter, if he agrees to the change, he will go to the Ping An Hotel.
Li Hui didn't care.
In his opinion, it is the same wherever he stays, and the facilities of the two hotels will definitely not be bad, so when he was at the ABP, he let Shen Liang watch the arrangements by himself.
It was about another ten minutes away.
The special car arranged by the headquarters was parked in front of a hotel building dozens of stories high.
Judging from the overall decoration and prosperity alone, this hotel with the signboard of "Ping An Hotel" is also above the Wanting Hotel.
And the geographical location is not comparable.
Wanting Hotel is already on the outskirts of Dajing City, while Ping An Hotel is built in the downtown area.
If you live on a high enough floor, you can even overlook the entire city of Dajing.
"Team Li, I'll send you here." The chauffeur at the headquarters spoke.
Although he was not sure of Li Hui's true identity, he thought that his status was not low, after all, it could be seen from Shen Liang's attitude towards Li Hui, and he also continued to use Shen Liang's name for Li Hui.
Hearing this, Li Hui nodded, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the Ping An Hotel.
"Hello, is it Li Hui, Team Li?"
The moment Li Hui walked into the hotel, a waitress walked up to him, with a professional smile on her face, polite and respectful.
Li Hui nodded when he heard this.
"The room is ready for you, do you need to carry your luggage?" The waitress glanced at the backpack behind Li Hui.
Li Hui said: "No need, you just take me to the guest room." ”
"Okay, please come with me."
Soon.
Led by a waitress.
Li Hui entered the elevator.
As he went, he was also surveying the first floor of the hotel, which was decorated in a luxurious style and the service staff was well organized, apparently all specially trained staff.
However, the distribution of personnel is not as large as the staff of Wanting Hotel, and the vigilance on the face is not as strong as the service staff of Wanting Hotel.
But it's no wonder.
After all, the people staying in the Ping An Hotel are all ghost riders under the command of the headquarters, as long as they don't get out of control, they must be stronger than those folk ghost riders in other aspects, so the service staff of the Wanting Hotel should pay attention to the people staying in the hotel, and always monitor their movements, so they can't help but be vigilant.
The room arranged for Li Hui by Ping An Hotel is the presidential suite on the top floor.
With the elevator rising, it didn't take long for Li Hui and them to come to the top floor, and after taking the room card from the waitress, Li Hui entered the room, and the waitress returned the same way, but after entering the elevator, she took out her private mobile phone and edited a text message to send it.
"Li Hui has moved into ......"
Meanwhile.
A bustling location in the heart of the city.
It is full of high-rise buildings, crowds of people, and people from all over the country gather here, making the already populated city of Dajing even more crowded.
And in this complex of high-rise buildings, there is a building called Ping An Building.
The security of this building is stricter than that of other surrounding buildings, and there are two security guards who look very serious at the door, whether in terms of size or temperament, the two are obviously not ordinary people, they are obviously specially trained, not so much that the two of them are security guards, but rather special forces who have hidden their identities.
At this time, an emergency meeting was being held in the office on the top floor of the Ping An Building.
The person who convened the meeting was the boss of the circle of friends'Fang Shiming', of course, at this time, he was not the main body, but a clone created by using ghost scissors and other supernatural powers.
Not long ago, after the battle between Shiming and Ye Zhen, his own state became extremely poor, and he was on the verge of recovering from the ghosts, so he had no intention of managing the trivial matters of the circle of friends at all, but locked himself in a safe house under the Ping An Building to adjust his state.
However, in addition to not having the supernatural power controlled by the body, the doppelganger has all the memories of the body, which can be said to be no different from the real Fang Shiming, so he can be said to be handy in dealing with the trivial matters of the circle of friends, and no one else has doubted his authenticity.
"Let's talk about it, what do you all think of Li Hui, who suddenly appeared recently in the supernatural circle?" Fang Shiming, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, asked after looking at the people below.
He was dressed in a well-cut suit, with a somewhat unreasonably pale face on his handsome face, and a kind of gloomy and cold aura on his body, which was a little less angry than a living person should have.
"If you want me to say it's the same as other ghost handlers, you can just contact him casually, this is already very worthy of him, if you can win him over, if you can't win him over, if you can't win him out, if you can't beat it, you can just be a lone ghost handler, and it doesn't have much impact on us."
Below.
Gao Zhiqiang said indifferently.
However, as soon as his words fell, a voice of opposition sounded.
"It's not the same!"
It was Jiang Shangbai, who was sitting in the second position, who spoke, and saw him say with a solemn expression: "The biggest difference between Li Hui and other ghost handlers is that although he is a person, his own strength can be described as top-notch, even compared to Mr. Fang, it is estimated that he is not much weaker. ”
"It's not just as simple as controlling the supernatural of ghost paintings, you must know that ghost paintings are S-level supernaturals, and the starving ghosts in Dachang City are also the same, but the starving ghosts were easily disposed of by him effortlessly when facing Li Hui."
Jiang Shangbai continued: "It is said that Li Hui has already joined the Ghost Rider Headquarters, with his strength and merits, I am afraid that nine times out of ten, the Headquarters will come up with a captain's place, otherwise it will not be able to attract such an existence to join." ”
"If we can win Li Hui over, the power of the circle of friends will definitely rise, even if we can't win it over, we should take the initiative to show goodwill, so that the benefit to the circle of friends is the greatest."
Unlike Gao Zhiqiang, Jiang Shangbai obviously has more things to consider.
With the help of the power of the circle of friends, it is almost a sure thing for him to get a captain's place, and the headquarters has also compromised, although it has not been explicitly stated, but this matter is basically a foregone conclusion.
But the ambition of the circle of friends is obviously more than that.
In addition to supporting Jiang Shangbai to take the position, they also want to win over other captains, so that in Dajing City in the future, the power of their circle of friends can be regarded as a dominant power, and even perverse to the headquarters of the ghost master, it is not impossible to be anti-guest-oriented.
"For Li Hui, I have a plan!"
That's when another man spoke.
The person who spoke was named He Tianxiong, and he was also a member of the circle of friends, and the powerful ghosts he controlled were not weak, so his status in the circle of friends was not low.
"Do you have a way? Let's hear it. ”
Fang Shiming, who was the leader, cast his eyes over, and even the eyes of others were on He Tianxiong.
Looked at.
He Tianxiong's face was happy.
opened his mouth and said: "According to Mr. Fang, that Li Hui was unknown before this, and he only suddenly appeared in the recent past, and such a person seems to me to have two situations. ”
"Either he was lucky enough to master the ghost painting, or he was too hidden in the past and only recently exposed."
"If it is the former, then Li Hui must have an upstart mentality in his heart, and we can use money, power, and even beautiful women to win over, but if it is the latter......"
He Tianxiong paused for two seconds and then said: "If he has been hiding himself before, then it can only mean that what he is trying to do is not small, such a person has too much appetite, it is difficult for us to satisfy, and it is also extremely difficult to win over." ”
"So in my opinion, whether or not to win over Li Hui depends on what kind of person he is, so that we can make a choice."
He Tianxiong's voice fell.
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at He Tianxiong with a look of surprise, as if they didn't expect him to really be able to analyze the Tao.
The analysis is right or not, let's not talk about it for the time being, just rushing to this business level, it can be said that everyone is impressed, after all, before this, even Fang Shiming thought that He Tianxiong was speaking to brush up his sense of existence, and he didn't think that he could say anything useful.
"I think what Mr. He said is right, we should first contact to determine Li Hui's character, at least we have to know his attitude towards the circle of friends, so as to decide how we should treat him."
After reacting, someone chimed in.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
“……”
Others soon agreed.
"In that case, then this matter will be handed over to the assistant Li Yao to handle, although she is not a ghost handler, but her business ability is obvious to all, go and test Li Hui's tone."
Seeing that everyone agreed with this point of view, Fang Shiming, who was the leader, made a decision.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, I will definitely do my best to complete the task and test Li Hui's thoughts." At this moment, a woman's voice rang out.
The person who spoke was a beautiful woman standing behind Fang Shiming in a professional short skirt and a white shirt, tall and mature, with high heels.
Obviously, she is the Li Yao in Fang Shiming's mouth!
