"Young man, you can really joke, this afternoon, you came in alone and asked for housing, how could anyone else come in before."

"Oh? Is that so. ”

Xia Qi glanced at the middle-aged woman carefully, and saw that the expression on her face really didn't look like she was lying, but if she didn't lie, then it meant that Zhao Anguo was lying.

But these two people, no matter who they are, don't seem to have a reason to lie.

The words of the middle-aged and old woman are just an ordinary village family, and running this small hotel should not obviously have a room but insist that there is none, and since Zhao Anguo still let him in to have a look, it is even more impossible to make up this set of lies, otherwise it is not clear that he is waiting for him to come in and debunk it.

"It's really weird."

Xia Qi didn't figure out what was going on, but it was very simple to figure it out, as long as Zhao Anguo was called in, and the two of them confronted each other.

"Zhao Anguo! Zhao Anguo! ”

"Senior, you call me?"

Hearing Xia Qi's shout, Zhao Anguo hurriedly talked half of his body and asked with a smile.

"Come over here and ask you something."

Waiting for Zhao Anguo to come over, Xia Qi pointed at him and asked the middle-aged woman:

"Look, eldest sister, have you seen him just now?"

"I haven't seen it." The woman shook her head, and then said impatiently:

"What the hell are you doing, you can't live in a house anymore, why do I think you're playing tricks on me."

"No, auntie, how can you say you haven't seen me?"

Without waiting for Xia Qi to say anything, Zhao Anguo was reluctant, and approached the middle-aged woman in one step, pointing at himself and the other party and saying:

"Auntie, take a good look at me again, a few minutes ago you were still sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a small radio in your hand, I asked you if you had a room, you said no, and looked at me with a very inexplicable look, the small radio in your hand has been replaced by a round fan now, don't you know me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you young man, when have I seen you, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, I want to welcome the house, and leave quickly if I don't live, what's the matter, these inexplicable words I said, I feel like I'm stupid!"

"It's not you ......"

"Anguo!"

Zhao Anguo still wanted to have a few words with the old woman, but was stopped by Xia Qi and signaled that he didn't have to say anything:

"You go and call the people outside in and tell them that there are only 11 rooms and that there are two people who need to stay in one room, and let them decide for themselves, go ahead."

Zhao Anguo obeyed Xia Qi's instructions, walked out with some fire, and didn't forget to glare at the old woman when he left.

Xia Qi looked at the old woman and looked very angry, and couldn't help but be more puzzled in her heart.

"Could it be that when Zhao Anguo came in before, the person he saw was not this woman?"

Although there were questions to ask the old woman, but at this time, other staff members had already walked in from the outside one after another, and Xia Qi had to give up the idea of asking for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to talk about it later.

Waiting for the staff to open their rooms, the old woman led them through a somewhat shady corridor to the other side of the room.

"It's not the peak season recently, so there aren't many tourists, otherwise if it's the peak season, such a good house would have been robbed long ago."

"By the way, eldest sister, who are the people living in the rooms in front of you?"

"They are all painters, and there seem to be a few writers who come here to experience the customs and customs, and I don't understand what these people have to write about."

The middle-aged woman walked as she spoke, until her somewhat fat body stopped, pointed to the two rows of houses in front of her, and said:

"These are your rooms, and since you all know each other, I will not divide them with you according to the rooms, although some are large and some are small, but they are generally the same.

Call me if you have something, but don't shout at night if you have something, go to bed early, so solve something as soon as possible. ”

When the woman had finished speaking, she turned around and went back again.

Xia Qi watched the woman walk away, still quite confused in his heart, and then heard Zhao Anguo's voice coming from the side:

"Senior, I really didn't lie to you, I did ask this old woman before, and she told me in person at the time, there is no room."

Xia Qihu glanced at Zhao Anguo suspiciously, thought for a while and asked:

"Is she dressed differently than when you saw her before?"

"Dressed?"

After hearing this, Zhao Anguo took a closer look at the old woman's back, and then said uncertainly:

"I didn't pay attention to this, but I remember that she took a small radio and listened to it again."

"Well, it's okay, I'm sure you're not lying, I'll figure this out."

Xia Qi patted Zhao Anguo's shoulder after speaking, and then said to the people waiting in the corridor:

"You stay here tonight for the time being, and as for me to start investigating what is happening in the village, in my absence, you should try to move around as little as possible, and if you feel that something is wrong, contact the person sleeping next door in time, and gather the others in time.

Whether it's me reminding you or warning you, in short, you remember to me that my team will never allow any infighting, or shady things.

If not, then I will do my best to help everyone survive, on the other hand, if someone has unclean hands and feet, then I will definitely make him die an ugly death, and make him regret doing so.

Do you understand? ”

Although everyone didn't answer, they nodded their heads in understanding, and seeing this, Xia Qi's stern expression became a little soothing, and then asked:

"After a while, you will report your strength realistically, don't make a false report, and don't hide it. Let's start with Zhao Anguo. ”

“……”

Everyone reported their strength, and then Xia Qi divided these 12 people into three echelons in his heart.

The first echelon, whose strength is basically only a little stronger than ordinary people, and has quite little experience, is an absolute rookie. There are 3 people in total.

The second echelon, whose strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, is in the middle of the ghost level, with limited means and limited experience, and belongs to newcomers.

This echelon has the largest number of people, with 6 people.

The third echelon, whose strength is relatively close to that of powerful ghosts, can defeat ordinary ghosts, has some self-protection ability in the event, and has more experience.

There are a total of 3 people in this echelon.

The people of the first and second echelons are not useful at all in team events. When he and Xu Tianhua carried out the team incident before, Xu Tianhua's method was to release everyone out, and then use it as bait to lure ghosts into the bait.

It's a pity that he is not Xu Tianhua, although he doesn't put too much thought into his team on weekdays, but since this is his team, then he won't push them out to death, not to mention that the strength of the ghost is not strong enough that he can't deal with it.

So, he decided to leave the people on his team behind, and the incident was up to him to figure it out. After all, counting on these small soldiers who don't even have the level of a powerful ghost will not only increase casualties, but also be much more efficient than his own work. (To be continued.) )
