Seventh Branch, night watch post.
Ji Li sat in this old seat, smoking. His expression was somewhat different from usual, carrying a strange look.
Standing before him was a woman in a business skirt.
The woman wore her hair in a bun, her hands folded together, her posture dignified. She looked no different from an ordinary person.
Then again, she truly should have counted as a person—once an employee of Branch No. 9, the Personnel Department director of Tiannan Academy, and now the occupant of Room 211 at the Seventh Branch.
After taking a drag, Ji Li did not look up at her and merely said:
"You may go."
Director Wang immediately turned and left, returning to Room 211, where she belonged.
Director Wang's arrival was not important intelligence. It merely informed Ji Li of one matter:
Three minutes ago, Fang Shenyan had found the entrance to Haunted Academy, then turned into a ghost.
Upon receiving this news, Ji Li did not appear surprised. He even felt it was only natural.
With Fang Shenyan's mind, entering Haunted Academy was no difficult feat. After that, encountering attacks from numerous ghosts was only reasonable, leaving him no choice but to turn into a ghost.
The only question was whether he would find the answer he sought through this.
Ji Li did not find it a pity. He only felt regret.
Fang Shenyan had turned into a ghost three minutes ago, and the penalty period would last twenty-four hours. He could no longer join this Manager Mission.
Perhaps the combination of Ji Li and Fang Shenyan had truly been too powerful. Somewhere in the unseen, fate no longer permitted them to appear together.
With Fang Shenyan no longer an option, who else could he choose?
