After comprehensive consideration, Qi Ji already has a suitable candidate in his heart.

"Please give Mr. Lord a letter of appointment for a limited time, thank you." Qi said to the system.

After all, this middle-aged gentleman seems to be polite, loyal, and well versed in service, and judging from his previous work experience, he does not seem to have a low opinion of himself, and Qi Zhen thinks that Mr. Lord is the most suitable person.

The system paused for half a second [received] in a very humane manner.

Qi Yan suddenly thought of something, and confirmed: "May I ask the cost of hiring NPCs, do you really need me to pay for it?" ”

[Beep - the system has detected that someone has borne this part of the cost for you, please rest assured to enjoy the service]

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows with satisfaction, he knew very well who this "gold master" was, so he curled the corners of his lips and said, "Oh, thank you for this boss." ”

[The time-limited appointment letter has been issued, please wait patiently for a while]

[Time limit for this employment: 7 minutes]

Five seconds later, Mr. Lorde, who had taken off his factory uniform and changed into beach pants, appeared in front of Qi Yan.

He also holds a beer with ice cubes and lime slices in his hand.

Qi Jiu: ......

MR. LORD: ......

The former rookie director seems to be still happily on vacation.

"Good evening, Mr. Lord," Qi Zhen smiled as he met an old friend, "sorry to bother you on vacation. ”

"Good evening, owner," Mr. Lord was very friendly, "happy to serve you." ”

"After all, you need money to enjoy a vacation." Mr. Lord laughed as he spoke.

[The employment time has taken effect, countdown: 7 minutes]

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Mr. Lord asked.

Qi Yan handed the Noh noodles he borrowed from Qin Rang to Mr. Lord: "Put it on and stay at the front desk for 7 minutes." ”

After a short greeting, Qi Zheng officially cut to the chase.

Now he has a surplus of staff faces, but he lacks a safe guard.

According to the hint of the girl at the front desk, Noh is a shield to prevent the night watchman from being attacked by "monsters", and the Heian Gomori can prevent the night's spirit from dropping.

However, Mr. Lord is an NPC employee in the dungeon, and there is no such thing as a spirit in the first place, so the threat of a drop in spirit is completely ineffective for him.

Mr. Lord has always been dutiful, and he quickly put down his beer and put on his mask: "Okay. ”

In this way, Qi Ji perfectly solved the problem of not being able to leave the front desk on duty.

After all, Mr. Lord was on duty for seven minutes.

Qi Yan quickly walked to the door of the hotel, he picked up the small card left by the uninvited guest, and by the moonlight, when he saw the contents of the color card, his face showed a subtle expression.

Because it's a little card for call girls.

The card is not a small peach-colored card from a cheap hotel, but a man and a woman who are together in the style of ukiyo-e, and a string of blurred handwriting is left under the very artistic painting.

Although the handwriting was illegible, Qi Zhen guessed that this was the contact information of the call girl.

Qi Zhen accepted the card, he didn't think it was an impromptu easter egg for the copy.

All fragmented plots are threads to be sorted out, and this call girl card is no exception.

Half a minute had passed, and Qi Jiu, who had obtained the call girl's small card, began to walk towards the hotel corridor.

The light of room 107 continued, and the closer you got, the fainter the sound of the TV became.

Qi Zhen slowed down his steps and breathing, and finally stopped outside the door of room 107.

The "guest" who was woken up seemed to be watching the nightly news broadcast, but the sound of the TV seemed to be covered with frosted glass, and the sound did indeed reach the ears, but it was inexplicably difficult to hear what the host was saying.

Qi Ji put his ear to the door and tried to hear the news broadcast, like a person sunk in the water, trying to hear the conversation of the people on the shore.

After about half a minute, the chaotic voice finally became clear—

「… Month... Day...... A major ... It is reported that 21 people were killed in the accident, including a family of three who came on vacation during the holidays, students on graduation trips, and newlyweds on their honeymoon......

This passage kept looping on the TV, and Qi Yan stood outside the door and listened to it three times, and there were a few words in it that he couldn't hear clearly.

He knew very well that these deliberately obscured keywords were important clues in the copy.

The accident mentioned in the news must be related to this hot spring street, and 21 people were also killed, and the number overlapped with the number of people killed in the brigade in the copy and the number of people killed in the explosion accident heard in the highway FM.

Tours, hot spring hotels, weird check-in rules, nights with frequent supernatural events......

Qi believes that the 21 people who died are the thread that leads to these trivial clues.

Is there a possibility that the news broadcast in room 107 and the broadcast in the highway FM are fragments of information and hints of clues?

For example, FM gives the keyword "explosion", and the keyword of the news broadcast is "hotel".

The place and the event are there, but there is still one key piece of information missing: time.

Of course, now these are all inferred by Qi Zhen when the clues are insufficient, and they are not necessarily the truth.

At this moment, the sound of the news broadcast stopped abruptly.

The light coming out of the shoji gate was also extinguished in an instant.

There was an unusual sound of footsteps in the room—

"Rustling ......" footsteps approached in the direction of the door, like the sound of some heavy object dragging it, and at the same time, Qi Zhen smelled a strange smell of burning.

Finally, the footsteps in the house stopped behind the door.

The uncomfortable smell of burning in the air grew stronger, and at the same time, the vigilance of the creatures in the face of danger made Qi Jiu's heart beat faster.

Obviously, the "ghosts" in the house had already sensed Qi Jiu's existence, and were standing across the door from him at the moment.

Through the pale moonlight, he could faintly see a strangely shaped black shadow behind the door.

Qi Yan held his breath, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The air fell into an scorching silence for an instant.

【Warning! Your actions have caught the attention of unknown hazards, so please stop any over-the-top actions to prevent further anger! 】

【Tips!】 Your current force is not an opponent of an unknown dangerous object, so please quickly divert its attention to protect yourself.]

【Serious warning! Unidentified hazards will attack in ten seconds! 】

There was a "creaking" sound behind the shoji door, and the originally closed door had been pushed open a crack-

The crisis is imminent, and Qi Ji quickly thinks about ways to get out of danger.

The system's prompt is already clear that it is forbidden to do anything too large so as not to continue to provoke unknown dangers, so it is not practical to turn around and run away now, and the escape itself is an act of "excessive amplitude".

If you want to quickly divert its attention......

And the last three seconds!

In a hurry, Qi Ji came up with a plan!

I saw that he quickly took out the small erotic card he had just picked up from the hotel gate, and before the unknown danger attacked, he skillfully stuffed the small call girl card into the monster's room......

Chapter 38: 404 Hot Spring Street (8)

Monster:?

For a moment, the air fell silent.

Attracted by the small erotic card, the unknown dangerous object suddenly stopped pushing the door, and it seemed to pick up the small card in the crack of the door.

Monster:......

Through the thin shoji door, Qi Yan and the unknown danger were speechless.

[Please stop all excessive actions and divert its attention for self-preservation]

Qi Yan thought that the act of stuffing small cards into the guest room was perfectly in line with the system's prompts, but he still didn't dare to act rashly.

Until there was a "pop", and the small card was impatiently thrown out of the crack in the door by the monster, after which it closed the shoji door again.

Qi Jiu: "......"

He was truly relieved.

I didn't expect the other party to be an unknown dangerous object with an honest personality.

Qi Zhen picked up the small card that was returned, and it couldn't be wasted.

Immediately after that, there was the sound of footsteps of an unknown dangerous object inside the door, and the sound of the TV being turned back on.

The TV news continued to broadcast those inaudible words, and Qi Yan stood outside the door for another half minute.

[It is detected that the crisis has been completely resolved, so you can leave with peace of mind]

[Remaining time of Mr. Lorde's time-limited employment letter: 1 minute]

[Please rush to the front desk as soon as possible before Mr. Lord leaves, so as not to cause an uncontrollable crisis]

"Got it, thanks." Qi Zhen regained his light pace and walked back.

Sure enough, even unknown dangers can hate the act of stuffing small cards into hotel rooms.

No, the dangerous goods directly gave him, the "call girl" middleman, a closed door.

Qi Zhen put away a small card, after all, this thing is very good.

When he returned to the front desk, Mr. Lord bowed deeply to Qi Zhen and said, "Good night, I'm leaving soon." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "It's hard tonight, see you later." ”

"It's an honor to serve you." Mr. Lord had just finished speaking before he vanished.

The glass of lemon cold beer was left at the front desk by him, and a note was pressed under the glass: "Don't worry, boss, I haven't drunk this glass of wine, leave it for you to enjoy, if you need it next time, please hire me."

"Thank you." Qi Yan took a shallow sip of a cold beer, and while sighing that Mr. Lord had a good service attitude and would do things, he was also very grateful to the owner behind him who paid for his employees.

The hostel in the second half of the night was calm.
