"Haha." The gatekeeper seemed unwilling to say too much and directly changed the topic: "Let's talk about the agents you know. After all, this is the top priority at hand."
"Yeah." Li Yi nodded and agreed with her words.
He also felt that this kind of thing actually had nothing to do with them. Even the agent in front of him couldn't find any trace. He couldn't even deal with the mysterious foreigners, so he should let the gods worry about it.
"I have told you everything I know. What is known so far is that the agent will spread the plague virus to quickly kill humans. Of course, that is the method he has used. As for Dioyus, he will
If you don’t use the same method, then you don’t know.”
"I don't know why Old John asked you to come to me." Moya thought about it for a while and finally said it: "But something really happened in the Holy Land, which is unexplainable. I just don't know if I have anything to do with the agent.
relation."
"Tell me about it." Li Yi nodded for her to continue. Even a gatekeeper of the Holy Land felt that there was something strange that could not be explained immediately. Nine times out of ten, it would have something to do with the agent!
...
...
Melissa didn't know what was happening to her.
Everything was normal in my hometown. My husband was a public servant and had a stable and well-paying job. He was also a well-known money-maker and ran a small shop. They also gave birth to a lovely daughter.
The family of three is enjoying themselves happily, and God seems to have bestowed all the luck on this family. She often prays to the God of Ice and Snow, thanking the great God of Ice and Snow for everything he has brought to her family.
Yes, that’s right, Melissa’s family are all believers in the Ice and Snow God.
And the incident occurred during the annual collective pilgrimage day.
Because of her work, Melissa's family usually entrusts her to make pilgrimages to the Holy Land alone.
This time was no exception, Melissa embarked on the pilgrimage early.
Following the long crowd of pilgrims and entering the Holy Land, Melissa immediately arrived at the reserved hotel.
Since the reserved hotels are usually full at this time of year, this time she chose a new hotel that she had never heard of.
At the end of the day, her overall feeling was that she was very good and very satisfied. Whether it was hotel facilities or service attitude, this newly opened Mandaloro Hotel could be considered first-class. Melissa had even made a decision.
I will choose this hotel as my temporary residence for pilgrimage in the future.
"Sounds great, so the problem is this hotel called the Mandaloro?"
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me." Moya said.
In Melissa's eyes, the Mandaloro Hotel is affordable and has first-class service quality. However, what makes her feel strange is that there are so few people staying in such a good hotel during the overcrowded pilgrimage season. This makes her confused.
There was a trace of doubt.
She once asked this question face to face, and the answer given by the person in charge of the hotel was that as long as she met a small condition, she could have priority check-in rights at the Mandalorian Hotel for a long time.
Melissa also listened to the conditions stated by the person in charge of the hotel. She felt that there was nothing unusual about it, so she readily agreed.
"What conditions?"
Moya is obviously a good storyteller, and he successfully aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and everyone asked questions in unison.
"The problem lies in this condition." Moya said calmly.
"The conditions given by the person in charge of the Mandaloro Hotel are that as long as you add incense to a statue in the hotel lobby every morning before going out during your stay." At this point, Moya glanced at the people present.
Seeing that no one thought there was any problem, he explained.
"This is an ancient Eastern custom. The meaning of offering incense is actually to worship."
"I know this." Li Yi nodded: "So the problem actually lies with that statue?"
"Yeah." The gatekeeper nodded.
"That's easy. Just go and get the statue and deal with it if there is any problem. Is this difficult to handle?" Maria was a little confused after hearing this.
In the Holy Land, the gatekeeper's power is second only to that of the Grand Elder. When the Grand Elder is away, he can be said to be the number one person in the Holy Land. It can be said that it is a piece of cake to order a hotel with problems to be dealt with. This is why Maria is confused.
The place.
"Of course I know it's very simple." The gatekeeper shook his head and sighed.
Seeing her expression, Li Yi was heartbroken.
"Is there a follow-up?"
"Yes."
Melissa obviously didn't take this seriously. She had also heard her husband say that this was an ancient Eastern custom. Maybe it was just a good wish of the store to keep the business prosperous. She did think it was so good.
The business in this store was indeed a little too deserted, so I happily agreed.
In terms of being willing to help others, there are some similarities between the Dioyes and the people in the Alliance.
So far, nothing unusual has happened, just a heart-warming story about a kind-hearted traveler helping a hotel owner whose business was sluggish, although even Melissa herself doesn’t think that a stick of incense will have a big impact on the hotel business.
help.
The first person to notice something was wrong was Melissa's husband, Mr. Terry.
It was also because of Terry that Moya found out about this.
"What happened?" Maria asked.
Moya thought for a while and said in an uncertain tone: "Actually, until now, I'm not sure whether this matter is related to extraordinary events, but what I know is that Melissa has never come to the Holy Land until now.
So far, it’s been a month.”
"Pilgrimage usually lasts for half a month. It's been a month, and her husband reported this matter, so Melissa...is missing?"
"To be exact, it has been exactly twenty days since Melissa spoke to her husband, Mr. Terry. Since then, there has been no news from Melissa."
Maria first noticed something was wrong: "Since I can make calls, I can find out the address of the hotel. Just go check it out and find out."
Li Yi shook his head and rejected her analysis: "For such a simple thing, the concierge obviously tried it right away. If it wasn't what I expected, he probably couldn't find the address of the Mandalor Hotel at all, right?
"
"Not only that, I also ordered people to screen all the hotels named Mandello in the entire Holy Land. There is no hotel that has the same description as Mr. Terry."
"In other words, this hotel named Mandello disappeared out of thin air."
"How is that possible? You said people will disappear. I believe it. A hotel just disappeared. Is it impossible?" Xiang Feiyu was the first to express doubts, but was quickly slapped in the face.
Moya handed over a piece of paper: "This is all the hotels named Mandello in the entire Holy Land. I sent people to investigate them all. All the room opening records of these hotels during this period, there is no one named Meili at all."
Lisa’s check-in records for women, in other words, even if one of these hotels is the Mandalorian Hotel, no woman named Melissa has ever been there."
"Could there be something wrong with her husband? I have seen a very famous case in history, where a husband killed his wife and then reported her missing." Xiang Feiyu suddenly said.
Then I was greeted by everyone looking at me like I was an idiot.
"Do you think the janitor can't tell if there's something wrong with the person who reported the crime?"
While everyone was discussing this matter, Li Yi basically didn't express much opinion, except for one sentence at the end.
"Let's go and have a look."
Although the gatekeeper said so much, he obviously still felt that seeing is believing and that it would be more realistic.
In a hotel in the Holy Land, Li Yi and his party met Mr. Terry who looked haggard.
When I saw him, he was sitting blankly in a corner of the hotel lobby, with a bottomed bottle of wine on the table next to him.
As soon as he raised his head, he smelled the pungent smell of alcohol. It was obvious that losing his wife was a big blow to this middle-aged man.
But he still maintained good self-cultivation, and when he saw the gatekeeper, he saluted immediately.
"Ice and snow are above me. Nice to meet you, Mr. Janitor."
"Bingxue is here." Moya replied lightly, and then introduced: "These guys want to know the details of what happened."
After hearing this, Terry's face, which had just barely cheered up, quickly turned gloomy. He shook his head and said to himself: "It's useless. I can't find it. Why? Why on earth is this? My wife has never done anything bad in her life."
,Why let her encounter such a thing..."
A few people comforted him and then sat down, preparing to let Terry recount the details of the disappearance case in order to find out what was noteworthy.
Fortunately, although Terry was depressed and drunk, his mind was still clear and he remembered the details clearly.
But everyone listened again, but still didn't find anything noteworthy. If there were any doubts, Moya had already carried out demining, but found nothing.
As a last resort, everyone focused their attention on Li Yi, who had been silent during this period and seemed to be thinking about something.
What they didn't know was that during this period, Li Yi had been communicating with Li Xingyi, and even Ling, who had no news from him, was captured and questioned by him.
The content of the inquiry was naturally information related to incense.
And the reason why he hasn't expressed any opinions since he came is that besides looking for information, he is still thinking about what Terry just said inadvertently.
It was this sentence that gave him a new idea.
"Hello, Mr. Terry, I'm here to see you this time. In addition to what I just wanted to ask, I have another question."
After asking a lot of highly overlapping questions, Li Yi asked a question.
"Is it true that your wife, Ms. Melissa, has never done a single bad thing in her life?"
