I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 178 Robot Pandan, eighty-two years in arrears on rent

"Let's go, just in time to experience the Elephant Power Elevator."

Elephant elevator?

It was really vivid. Shen Liang glanced at the twins, and then calmly followed Lin Yuan into the elevator.

The elevator is very dilapidated and has a post-war reconstruction feel just like the outside. The holes on the top of the head still leak wind, which can send chills down the back.

The elevator started quickly, but instead of going down, it was moving up.

Another unknown supernatural event?

Shen Liang turned to look at Lin Yuan, who pointed to the wall on the right and said, "Don't worry, we are still going down. This illusion is normal, look over there."

Shen Liang turned his head and looked over, only to see that the dilapidated wall suddenly became transparent. It was dark outside, but his eyes could penetrate the white mist of coma, as if he had received permission from some existence.

At the end of the line of sight is the elevator shaft on the first floor.

The ghost just now... no, it should be a baby elephant. He obviously climbed out from the ceiling of the elevator and now appeared at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

A rope stretched from Li Gui's waist to the sky, and finally passed through a pulley and connected to the top of the elevator.

Li Gui was using its four little elephant legs to support the wall of the elevator shaft and was trying to climb up. As it continued to climb up, the elevator began to slowly descend.

It turns out that this is the Xiangli Elevator!

Zhong Shan's eyes widened. Everything he saw today really overturned his understanding of supernatural events. In other words, around the "store manager", all his understanding was distorted and became so absurd and weird.

He glanced at Lin Yuan, and then asked Guo Fan in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Were you trying to ignore this kind of thigh before?"

His words were full of admiration, as if he were facing a tourist hugging a tiger.

The corner of Guo Fan's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the "store manager"'s unreasonable supernatural power was enough to reach this level, but as a man, he couldn't lose face.

"It's normal. You'll get used to it after seeing him more. As long as you don't offend him, you're safe. You don't have to worry about anything. Of course, the premise is that your identity and personality don't collapse, otherwise you will also be harmonized. .”

Zhong Shan murmured: "Safe? Maybe, but no matter how well taken care of, tigers are still one of the beasts. They will eat people as long as they have the opportunity. Those who seek skin from tigers will eventually end up in the tiger's belly. I hope you can be that exception." "

Guo Fan's expression changed slightly and he said no more.

"Boss Lin, this hotel is really unique. I hope I can see a more interesting side in the future." Shen Liang suppressed his shock and continued to use his identity as an ordinary person to communicate with the "store manager" about ordinary things. topic.

Lin Yuan also likes to communicate with Shen Liang. After all, police officers who speak well like Shen Liang are really rare.

Not to mention the Peace Hotel, but the Caesar Hotel is obviously within Shen Liang's responsibility. If you have a good relationship with Shen Liang, it will be easier to talk about anything in the future.

When we reached the second floor, the faint sound of piano came in. The sound was melodious and very pleasant.

Shen Liang praised: "It's very nice music. Although I haven't heard it before, it must be a very good pianist. Boss Lin, this hotel is really a surprise."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "I'm quite surprised too. Let's go and have a look together."

He pressed the stop button of the elevator, and the ghost who had climbed to their level stopped, right next to them.

But at this time, the ghost was changed into a naive little elephant, which didn't look so scary.

After getting out of the elevator, everyone looked for the sound of the piano and soon came to a small restaurant. The style of the restaurant was Western and there was a special performance stage.

There is a piano on the stage, and a pianist sitting in front of the piano is playing the piano leisurely.

But Shen Liang, Guo Fan and Zhong Shan all changed their expressions, because this piano master was not a serious person at all, but a fierce ghost, a ghost whose whole body was covered with shadows!

Li Gui plays the piano. Is the sound so nice?

Shen Liang subconsciously covered his ears, but the sound of the piano could not stop pouring into his ears. Fortunately, the supernatural power did not explode immediately, otherwise he, an ordinary person, would probably be killed instantly.

Guo Fan, Zhong Shan, and even the twins didn't look good.

Faced with supernatural power, they naturally had to use supernatural power to fight against it. They all tried to prevent the sound of the piano from reaching their ears, but it was obvious that they all failed, so they could only turn their attention to the "store manager".

However, Lin Yuan seemed to be obsessed with listening, staring directly at the piano and the piano player.

"Boss Lin? Boss Lin!"

Most of human fears stem from the unknown!

After getting along with each other for a period of time, Shen Liang's fear of the "store manager" has been reduced a lot. He is good at grasping things and is working hard within the bottom line of understanding.

Lin Yuan was awakened. He smiled apologetically and said, "I was a little lost in thought. I'm sorry. But it's really surprising that a monkey can play such a beautiful tune."

Monkey, monkey?

So, everyone once again watched the shadow ghost turn into a monkey, jumping left and right on the piano, and this beautiful music played.

"This thing is good. You can move it to the store and use it as a performance."

Lin Yuan became interested and shouted directly outside: "Lao Li, Lao Fan, come to work!"

The rich darkness spread quickly in the white mist. There was no conflict between the two, but a relationship between tolerance and being tolerated. Obviously, the ghost realm of ghosts was the one being tolerated.

Soon, Gui Cha and Li Qingzhi appeared at the door.

"Take this piano with you and bring it back to the hotel later. There is also this monkey. Do you want to eat a banana?"

Lin Yuan took out a banana from nowhere, walked over to the piano, peeled the banana with anticipation, and sent it over.

In his eyes, he is full of desire for "talents"!

"My hotel is in the style of the Republic of China. Although the piano is a bit unconventional, it can still improve the style and maybe attract some artists to come to the store. If guests are willing, we can also provide the piano for them to play, and there are many ways to do it. have to!"

Lin Yuan's abacus was very good, but the monkey obviously didn't give him any face. It seemed as if he didn't see him at all. He also ignored the peeled white and tender banana and continued to play the piano on his own.

Lin Yuan laughed angrily and raised his hand to slap it down, but there was an exclamation from the door of the restaurant: "Wait a minute, don't interrupt it, otherwise we will all die!"

Then a man and a woman rushed in and stopped in front of Lin Yuan, and it was the leading woman who spoke just now.

Seeing Lin Yuan staring at her with a puzzled expression, she quickly explained: "My name is Xianglan, and his name is Anan. This piano sound is an unknown supernatural attack. Even if you restrain this ghost, it won't stop. Unless the corresponding rules are used to stop it, the moment the sound stops, everyone who hears the sound will die!"

Lin Yuan looked at Xianglan and Anan with a strange expression, as if he was looking at something interesting.

This look made both Xianglan and Anan feel like they were being watched, which was very uncomfortable, but this man was a terrifying being who could turn ghosts into animals with just one sentence.

If they hadn't seen Lin Yuan preparing to interrupt the piano playing, they would never have come out, let alone stand opposite Lin Yuan.

Anan gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stand in front of Xianglan.

When Shen Liang saw that Lin Yuan was silent, he took the initiative to ask: "Is what you said true? And what proof is there?"

"No proof is needed. If we hadn't also heard the sound of the piano, I wouldn't have appeared to tell you about it. Now you just need not to stop me."

Xianglan didn't care about anything else, turned around and sat on the piano seat, and started playing on the piano with both hands.

The strange thing is that the monkey is still playing and overlaps with Xianglan's body, but it is like being in two dimensions without any contact with each other.

Another piano sound sounded, which sounded somewhat similar to the one played by the monkey. It was the same style, but the tone was different.

Gradually, the piano sounds played by the man and the monkey began to overlap, seeming to evolve towards the same tune, and the movements of the monkey and Pandan also began to overlap.

When the bodies were completely reunited and the music was exactly the same, Xianglan pressed her hands fiercely on the piano keys. A harsh sound sounded, but the music stopped.

Pandan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from her seat, but the monkey in its original position disappeared.

"The crisis is over for now, let's just say goodbye."

Xianglan said that she was about to leave with Anan, but Guo Fan, Zhong Shan and the twins stopped them at the same time, which made Anan's eyes show a trace of cruelty, "Do you want to fight? Our companions are nearby, and they may not be better than you." few people!"

Guo Fan chuckled and said: "Fighting is not about the number of people. Guys like you, I will deal with as many as you come. Now stay here honestly. Boss Lin should have something else to ask you."

Anan bit her lip, as if she was about to explode at the next moment, but Xianglan held him back, turned to Lin Yuan and said: "Boss Lin, we have no ill intentions, we just want to leave here, please let us go."

Lin Yuan said in surprise: "Are you... guests here?"

"Guests? Maybe, but we just want to get out of here now." Xianglan showed a self-deprecating smile.

Lin Yuan nodded thoughtfully and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that the business of this hotel is really good, and there are actually robot guests."

robot?

Xianglan and Anan looked puzzled, but soon their doubts turned into panic, because they found that each other had changed, from normal humans to... robots!

"What did you do to us?" Anan immediately rushed towards Lin Yuan, but as soon as he started, he was grabbed by a force on the shoulder and pressed hard to the ground, unable to move.

As soon as he raised his head, he met the face of a gorilla. Its eyes flashed with scarlet light and whispered: "Be honest!"

Lin Yuan didn't like rude guests either.

And this was a guest left over from the Caesar Hotel. Lin Yuan didn't bother to say anything more, so he asked the twins to take Xianglan and Anan with them, and then asked Li Qingzhi and Gui Cha to lift the ghost piano and go to the first floor together.

The first floor was empty, including the front desk, and there was nothing.

"The space technology here is very good, but it's a bit troublesome to switch spaces. Let's go out first, then come in, go to the Caesar Hotel on the outermost floor, and then check out these two rude guys."

Shen Liang and others naturally had no objections. They were also very curious about the situation of Caesar Hotel, which could just fill in some information about Caesar Hotel.

Unfortunately, this information is probably almost out of date.

Xianglan and Anan, who were carried on their shoulders by the twins, looked at each other, and their original worry and surprise turned into surprise at this moment.

Their goal has always been to escape from the Caesar Hotel, and for this they have experienced countless reincarnations.

This time, although they encountered an irresistible force and were turned into robots by the other party, the other party was actually willing to take them out of the Caesar Hotel. This is a good thing!

As a result, the two of them gave up their resistance, even though it was of no use in the first place.

Under the leadership of Lin Yuan, the group of people walked out of the door of Caesar Hotel smoothly, but something strange happened. When the twins went out, a strange light flashed at the door.

This light appeared for so short a time that it was almost mistaken for an illusion.

But under the illumination of this layer of light, the bodies of Xianglan and Anan melted quickly like snowflakes meeting the sun, and soon turned into nothingness.

"This is……"

A chill ran down the backs of Shen Liang and others. This had happened many times since he entered the Caesar Hotel. Their clothes were wet, dry, and now wet again.

Guo Fan and Zhong Shan were not much better. They looked at this ordinary door in horror, not daring to make any move.

The twins quickly jumped to Lin Yuan's side when the change occurred. Gui Cha and Li Qingzhi also walked out carrying the piano without encountering anything strange.

"I may have guessed something, but now we need to go to the front desk and take a look at the check-in records."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he walked directly in. The twins, Li Qingzhi and Gui Cha followed without hesitation.

Zhong Shan didn't want to go in, "Captain Shen, we've already connected with the 'store manager'. This Caesar Hotel is too weird. Otherwise, we shouldn't go in."

Without waiting for Shen Liang's answer, Guo Fan said: "With the 'store manager' by our side, we are basically safe. It's not easy to get in touch with the 'store manager' now. It would be the worst loss if we just leave like this."

"Guo Fan is right, but Zhong Shan, it has been a long time since we entered the Caesar Hotel. There has been no signal just now. Just stay outside and report the situation to the headquarters. Guo Fan and I can go in."

Shen Liang smiled gently, gave Zhong Shan an honest reason not to enter the hotel, and then walked into the Caesar Hotel again.

Guo Fan glanced at Zhong Shan with disdain and quickly followed in.

"Damn it!"

Zhong Shan was very angry, but finally followed in.

The Caesar Hotel that we entered this time was no longer the ghost land just now, but a magnificent one. In addition to not being very popular, there was no ghostly presence at all.

Lin Yuan had already entered the front desk and turned on the computer, rummaging around for something.

When Shen Liang came over, Lin Yuan had already found what he wanted, and said with a smile: "Let me just say, Xianglan and Anan are indeed guests of the hotel, but they owe the hotel too much money, so the hotel They were never allowed to leave.”

That's it!

Shen Liang pretended to be suddenly enlightened and asked, "How much do they owe?"

"Xianglan and Anan live in 101 and 701 respectively. They have lived here for eighty-two years and have never been paid. There are also Zhu Jian in 201, Dong Yulan in 501 and Wang Genquan in 801. They also live here. They have been here for sixty years, but they have not been paid for their rooms, so the hotel has never let them leave.”

"Eighty-two years? Sixty years? Isn't that the period of the Republic of China? Can they live so long?" Shen Liang frowned, while Guo Fan and Zhong Shan were a little excited.

The Xianglan and Anan just now were obviously not ordinary people, but ghost controllers who had harnessed supernatural powers.

What is the lifespan of a ghost master?

It can be as short as two or three months, or as long as one or two years, but now they are suddenly told that a ghost controller from the Republic of China is still alive today. How can they not be shocked and look forward to it?

If I could get their method of living for such a long time, would I also want to change my identity as a short-lived ghost?

"Of course ordinary people can't live so long. They all have only a glimmer of consciousness left. Even though they came out with the robot's body, it is just a clone, not their original body at all. Their consciousness has always remained in their respective bodies. In the guest room, what happened just now at the door is also set up by the hotel specifically for this kind of guests who owe room fees, so as to prevent the guests from evading the bill. If it weren't for the hotel's lack of management, they would not be able to get out even if they controlled the robot's body with their consciousness. . Well, that’s right, that’s it. No wonder you just talked nonsense, what kind of ghosts, curses, etc. It’s because you’ve been locked up for a long time and you’ve been driven crazy, so you’re talking nonsense. I almost believed it.”

Lin Yuan explained the situation of Xianglan and the other five people using what he believed to be ordinary people's cognition, and also gave Shen Liang and others a general understanding of the situation of Xianglan and the other five people.

Guo Fan and Zhong Shan, who were originally curious about the secret that had survived for decades, gave up the idea of ​​inquiring in an instant.

Obviously, what kept Xianglan and the other five alive for so long was not their strength and methods, but the support of the supernatural power of the Caesar Hotel.

"We want to live longer, but we don't want to become earthbound spirits!"

However, how much will the room rate be in these decades?

Now the Caesar Hotel is his property, so these room fees are also his property!

Lin Yuan suddenly became excited, but soon sighed, "It's a pity that they are all poor people and have no money at all, otherwise they wouldn't be locked up in the hotel for so long. How can we let them create more value?" ?”

Five old people who were forced to sleep in the guest room because they had no money to pay the bill...how should they use their remaining value?

Lin Yuan suddenly glanced at the piano carried by Gui Cha and Li Qingzhi, and suddenly had an idea, "Do any of you know how to play the piano?"

Gui Cha and Li Qingzhi naturally did not respond, while the twins shook their heads.

They were born in the West and became an outlier, but they really didn't know how to play the piano.

"That Xianglan's piano skills seem to be pretty good. Let her play the piano in the store every day, which can also offset some of the room charges. No matter how expensive the pianist is, if she wants to offset the room charges for 82 years, she can still With the follow-up accommodation and food, you have to play for decades no matter what? You don’t have to worry about no one playing the piano in the future.”

Lin Yuan laughed with satisfaction and said seriously:

This is not oppression!

In Room 101, the reborn Xianglan looked around timidly, her eyes blank and frightened.

"Where is this? Why am I here? Who brought me here?"

As a woman, waking up inexplicably in a strange place is a normal person who would feel uneasy and fearful.

Xianglan checked her clothes vigilantly, and was relieved when she found that there were no signs of violation, and then checked carefully.

This is a typical hotel layout from the Republic of China period. Of course, in terms of Xianglan's life, this was the most fashionable hotel, and it was very luxurious.

Jingle Bell!

The phone rang in the living room, and Xianglan was frightened, but she finally bit her lip and stepped forward to answer it. Before she could speak, Lin Yuan's voice came from inside:

"Xianglan, right? It's time to pay the rent you owe for eighty-two years. If you can't pay it, I can provide you with a job opportunity. If you need it, you can come to the lobby on the first floor for an interview. I'll wait for you here."

Eighty-eighty-two years?

Xianglan was frightened and lost all her memory. She only felt that someone was trying to blackmail her.

Obviously she has only lived for ten or twenty years, how could she live in this hotel for eighty-two years? This is simply impossible, but the next moment, the faint white mist in the microphone flooded into her with countless memories. mind.

"what!"

Pandan curled up on the floor with her hands in her hands, huddled together like a boiled shrimp. After an unknown amount of time, the pain finally ended.

She stood up panting, her clothes already soaked, but her eyes were no longer pure and clear, but full of depth and complexity.

"Perhaps this is my last chance."

Although she accidentally regained her memory after losing her supernatural power, there are too many dangers in this mysterious corridor, and even with decades of memory, she is still not completely sure.

But for this opportunity, she is willing to take the risk!

However, what surprised her was that she was already prepared, but after walking some distance from 101, she realized that the corridor that was originally full of danger had become extremely quiet.

All the evil ghosts seemed to have disappeared, and the several evil ghosts blocking the middle of the road in my memory were also gone.

"Is it because of him?"

Recalling Lin Yuan's appearance, Xianglan took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and hurried towards the first floor.

There was no obstacle, and it only took ten minutes for Xianglan to rush to the front desk on the first floor. Looking at the last group of people in her memory, she fixed her sights on Lin Yuan behind the computer at the front desk.

The moment Lin Yuan saw her, her body turned into a robot, and her words became the unique electric sound of a robot, but she was extremely firm: "Boss, I'm here for an interview."
