I froze for a moment, my movements immediately halting in mid-air.
At this moment, Yiyi also came over and whispered to me.
"Brother, it's true, the aura around him... seems to have changed, it's not as cold as it was just now!"
Lei Jijian was also puzzled at this moment. He transmitted his thoughts to me in his mind, saying that the energy fluctuations on this person's body were very fast, as if he couldn't control them at all.
At this moment, although I had reduced most of my strength, the sword had already been slashed out, and the arc of electricity flashed as it rushed towards the waiter.
Before we could react, the young man suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the edge of the counter behind him with both hands.
With a gentle lift, everything on top crashed to the ground with a clatter.
Immediately, he used the counter as if it were a cardboard box, blocking the counter in front of him!
Holy crap!
This counter looks very heavy; it must weigh at least a hundred pounds.
But he just grabbed it casually, like he was picking up a toy!
The lightning arc from the lightning sword struck the counter hard, but because I had used a lot of force, it didn't pass through and hit him.
However, as an arc of electricity struck, the counter was completely cleaved in two, falling to the ground with a piercing sound.
Looking at this incredibly strong waiter, I became even more puzzled.
This isn't just an ordinary receptionist; she might even be a strongman!
Otherwise, where would this power come from out of thin air?
If he had that power, why was he begging for mercy from us just now?
That's something no normal person could do.
If he had used that force on us just now, we probably would have been killed instantly.
At that moment, the girl's eyes widened.
It's hard to imagine what the consequences would have been if he had attacked us just now.
How can a human being lift such a large counter like a child's toy?
However, besides admiring his power, I suddenly realized something.
Shouldn't this counter be on the first floor?
How did it suddenly appear on the second floor?
Moreover, we were just forced all the way here by that strange old man, so we definitely went up to the second floor!
It's impossible that they're still lingering on the first floor.
Not to mention the hotels we've stayed in, we've never seen any hotels that have a reception desk on the second floor.
Furthermore, if you set up a reception desk on the second floor, no one will even go up there, so how can you do business?
I was puzzled, but I was certain that this was definitely not the work of Fatty Zhou. If someone as meticulous as him had set up the counter on the second floor, he definitely wouldn't have been able to sell a single room.
In other words, this situation definitely exists; either they deliberately set it up here, or it's a floor that doesn't exist!
Have we fallen into a maze again...?
Who exactly are you?
I couldn't help but stare at the waiter, while the lightning bolts on my sword continued to crackle and emit electric arcs.
"Why is there a counter on the second floor? What's your relationship with that old man?"
The young man took two steps back and righted the overturned half of the counter, then took two steps to the other side and righted the other half.
At that moment, the two counters blocked his way, like a shield.
I always felt like he was on guard against us.
The waiter then placed his hand in the middle, slightly exerted his strength to release a bluish-black aura, and the counter quickly returned to its original state.
Wow, that's really something.
That was a pure strike from the Thunderstrike Sword!
Logically speaking, it should be able to dispel evil spirits, and normal wood would probably be cut into small pieces if it came into contact with that electric arc!
The thing in front of us didn't just break into pieces; it was only broken. Instead, after the waiter intervened, it was restored to its original state!
It was as if the lightning sword had never struck, almost exactly the same as before.
Except for a few marks on the counter.
Apart from that, it's just like new.
At this moment, the young man spoke slightly, his tone quite respectful.
"This thing is a rare find. I've always wanted to be in management, but the boss wouldn't let me. So I set this up here, and at the same time, I welcome anyone who shows up on the second floor to check in."
I was puzzled for a while after listening to what this guy said.
What, you want to usurp the throne and take over your boss Zhou's position?
Isn't this a bit presumptuous?
If your boss sees this, he'll probably fire you.
I said coldly.
"Yes, I've been fired. To be precise, I no longer belong to this hotel!"
At that moment, the waiter seemed to have a sudden realization, and his words hit me right on the head.
Holy crap?
What does this mean?
Could it be that he is no longer an employee of this hotel?
If that's the case, then he must be the person that old man was looking for!
"Then why are you still putting these pieces of wood in someone else's hotel?"
As Yiyi spoke, she pointed to the cabinet that was facing them.
He looked completely puzzled.
"I've told the boss many times to put this on the first floor, but he won't. He even threatened to burn the wood, saying he was bringing it to me..."
I just can't believe it!
This is a type of wood specifically designed to suppress evil spirits. Even the most vicious ghosts become much more docile when they're near it!
After hearing what this guy said, I was completely shocked.
But somehow, I have a feeling that he and Boss Zhou don't know each other at all.
Not only did Boss Zhou not mention the Yin-Suppressing Wood on the second floor to me, he also never mentioned that there was such a worker.
In other words, this person seems to have appeared out of thin air.
It's really too weird.
"You're here to guard the second floor, the wooden figure in the Yin-Suppressing Sect?"
Yi Yi frowned slightly; she was also somewhat puzzled.
"Boss Zhou never mentioned any of these things to us."
Meanwhile, the Thunder Strike Sword was also whispering in my mind.
“Master, don’t believe him. If Boss Zhou left this thing behind, he would have said so beforehand. Why would he let us stumble upon it by chance? When he left, he had planned everything out. How could he not have mentioned that there was a guy who might come back?”
Not only that, but this isn't something that can be undone. He even mentioned the guy who harvested sea marrow, whose fate is unknown, but he didn't mention this waiter. Do you think that's possible?
At that moment, I also felt that something was quite wrong, so I took a step forward and looked the person over.
Slender, neat, and predominantly white.
I pondered again... The thick fog also seemed to be white.
