I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 189 Anchor: Imprisoning the “Store Manager”

In the thick fog, Sun Rui clenched the golden crutch in his hand and looked around, "Is this the Peace Hotel?"

Cao Yang said: "It's not here yet, but it will be there soon."

Sun Rui quickly understood the meaning of this sentence. It was clear that there was still thick fog around him and he couldn't see anything clearly. But when he followed Cao Yang and took a step, a three-story building from the Republic of China period appeared. In front of you.

"peace restaurant."

Sun Rui read out a few large neon characters on the sign, and then turned his attention to the security guard and watchdog at the door, his eyes focused.

As a character who had early contact with the "store manager".

Although Sun Rui actually entered the Peace Hotel for the first time, the headquarters' information about the Peace Hotel was not hidden from him.

There have been no supernatural events in Dahan City, giving Sun Rui a lot of time to learn about what he wanted to know, such as the Peace Hotel.

He naturally also knew that this security guard was a ghost in Huanggang Village. He had an almost unlimited number of brainless suppression quotas, which was extremely terrifying.

Having said that, Lin Yuan's eyes were full of gossip and curiosity.

Sun Rui was interested in having more contact with Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan obviously didn't want to deal with the police.

Meng Xiaodong was holding needle money in her hand. Beside her were scattered tiger skins, wolf teeth, cat tails and other animal parts. At her feet was a ghost stove.

"Compared with the information, you will feel more despair and terror when you see it with your own eyes." Sun Rui's voice was low, with a touch of despair.

Just like this time, if Meng Xiaodong was not here, who would he go to to customize clothes for Yang Jian?

"By the way, Granny Meng, do you know Taiping Ancient Town?"

It is true that the sales volume of the scapegoat dolls is not good, but he does not think that the problem is with the scapegoat dolls. It should be a problem of money.

Unfortunately, after Lin Yuan came in, he walked over, picked it up, put it into the vegetable basket on the side, and then looked at Meng Xiaodong expectantly.

"Okay, don't be poor over there. Officer Sun is also sitting. By the way, did you find anything in the ghost post office? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask."

This is a world-famous doll maker. If there really is any famous ancient town, he should know something about it.

Cao Yang and Sun Rui really just came to sit and sit until they got off work in the evening, then left with Tong Qian and He Yuelian.

Cao Yang patted him on the shoulder, "If you have more contact with the 'store manager', you won't despair. Instead, you will see a different kind of hope."

Sun Rui smiled and said, "I hope so."

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything to comfort him.

He also knew that the watchdog was the source of the S-class supernatural event The Starving Ghost - the Starving Ghost!

Now when these people come to the store, they can't even order food for three yuan, and they have to use their pets to pay off their debts. How can they spend another seven yuan to buy a scapegoat?

But even so, Lin Yuan is not ready to terminate the cooperation with Meng Xiaodong.

Cao Yang walked in with a smile and nodded slightly after seeing Tong Qian's worried eyes.

Zhang Xianguang's words were very vague, even if it was on the outskirts of Zhongzhou City, he didn't mention a specific location.

"Just come in, you are not the first customer today, and I am not a black shop here forcing you to spend money." Lin Yuan cursed with a smile.

"It still takes some time. If you're in a hurry, boss, I can sleep a little less at night."

Age is the reverse scale of a woman.

Due to the restrictions of his identity, he could only leave temporarily and then find another opportunity.

Obviously he didn't believe Cao Yang's words, but he didn't ask any more questions about the police information, so as not to cause trouble for an ordinary businessman like himself.

Cao Yang chuckled and said, "I don't have any money with me. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to come in."

"There's nothing we can't say. We became messengers, and I'm afraid we'll have to start delivering letters part-time in the future." Cao Yang shrugged.

No matter how old a woman is, she doesn't want anyone to make an issue of her age, and Meng Xiaodong is no exception, but she can't do anything about Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said happily: "Do you know how to get there?"

Zhang Xianguang and Yang Xiaotian had also left, leaving Lin Yuan and the twins in the store.

Li Qingzhi also rushed back after get off work, making the night more lively.

There seemed to be traces of burning on the limbs of these animals, and the area was quite large.

The moment Lin Yuan's voice sounded, the rag doll lost all power and fell to the floor with a splat.

He couldn't even rely on his old age to sell his old age, so he could only pretend not to hear the previous half of the sentence, "But now I haven't sold a single rag doll. Maybe times have changed, and young people don't like this thing anymore."

Walking to the door of the Peace Hotel, Sun Rui wanted to go in but was stopped by Cao Yang. At this time, Lin Yuan also saw him, "What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in?"

In the room, a flowered rag doll was running around the room. It looked like a lively little kid, but also like an Erha who was ready to tear down the house.

Although you can locate the past through "cheap fingers", it would be foolish to consume animal reserves when there are obviously free channels to get there.

Lin Yuan said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Granny Meng, you are not young anymore. You should go to bed early at night. The store will still count on selling your dolls for money in the future."

Oh, right.

Whether intentionally or not, its dark eyes were facing away from the door.

Then he looked at Zhang Xianguang and Yang Xiaotian, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Boss, there are guests here, I'd say it's a little inconvenient."

Meng Xiaodong's eyes moved slightly, "Boss, are you going to Taiping Ancient Town? I have been there a few times. I went there to collect some materials a few years ago. Unfortunately, over the years, the originally lively Taiping Ancient Town has now become lonely. I’m afraid there are only a few families left.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's it, okay then."

After Lin Yuan asked them to go and have a rest, he went up to 201 on the second floor and asked, "Grandma Meng, how are the clothes being made?"

Meng Xiaodong looked at Lin Yuan strangely for several times before saying, "You can go there by bus that usually stops outside the door, it just takes a few stops."

"So this is ah!"

Lin Yuan was quiet, but then he became a little angry, "Mother Meng, you often take that bus. Is its route always in the wilderness? Otherwise, if I put an advertisement on the bus, why wouldn't it attract a lot of people?" Are guests coming?"

Meng Xiaodong laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. In fact, it will pass by several big families. It's just that the head of the big family is old and doesn't go out much. Even if he sees the advertisement on the bus, he won't How would you be interested?"

"So that's it. I misunderstood the bus company and thought it was fooling me. Granny Meng, do you have the contact information of these big companies? If it is inconvenient for them to come, we can also provide takeaway services, but the charges are expensive. Some of them are negotiable."

When he said these words, Lin Yuan's eyes were shining.

Meng Xiaodong looked at it with a smile in her eyes. The "store managers" of this era gave her the illusion of being close to her juniors. "They are all stubborn. I have to contact them in advance to see what their wishes are."

"it is good."

Lin Yuan was a little helpless, but he also agreed with Meng Xiaodong's choice.

This is not a black shop, and he is not a robber who robs homes. Naturally, he has to respect the opinions of customers, especially potential big customers.

"Granny Meng, you should work first and go to bed early at night so as not to exhaust yourself."

After saying a few polite words, Lin Yuan returned to the third floor to rest, preparing to go to Taiping Ancient Town early tomorrow morning. It happened that there was still one white ghost candle left by Li Jun. He could also try to attract some animals to take back to Caesar on the way. Raise it in a big hotel.

On the same night, Tong Qian brought the news about Cao Yang and Sun Rui back to the Dajing City headquarters.

Cao Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief. If Cao Yang died in the ghost post office like this, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to Cao Yang's mother.

But he still made a mistake in judgment.

The ghost post office is not as simple as imagined, but a very complex supernatural place. If Cao Yang delivers letters and catches ghosts step by step, he can easily find enough ghosts and go to the Peace Hotel to find the "store manager" Strengthen yourself.

This is a somewhat risky, but also very bright path.

But he never expected that the first letter sent by Cao Yang was torn up by him, making Cao Yanhua so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Even if you are worried that delivering the letter will trigger the resurrection of the evil ghost, and you are not sure about suppressing the supernatural events that will occur after delivering the letter, the headquarters can still send people to provide support.

What a waste of worry!

It wasn't until Tong Qian said that the target of the letter was herself, that Cao Yanhua realized the problem, "Let Cao Yang deliver a letter to you? Develop you into a messenger, or do you want to take the opportunity to cause supernatural events? The ghost post office Xin, is it possible that it was artificially arranged?"

Tong Qian shook her head, "I don't have enough information to judge."

Cao Yanhua also knew that although Tong Qian obeyed orders, her own abilities were not very high. He did not want to get the answer from Tong Qian, but went directly to Wang Xiaoming.

Because of the emergence of the Peace Hotel and the "store manager", Wang Xiaoming had much less research materials, such as ghost coffins, but there were still many supernatural items in the headquarters, and there was still enough content to research. And he now has a larger research goal:

Peace Hotel, "Store Manager"!

This almost unsolvable power makes Wang Xiaoming almost obsessed. Unfortunately, more than a month has passed, and his research on the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" has not made much progress.

The only thing that is certain is that there is a certain balance between the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

The reason why the "store manager" collects all kinds of ghosts and supernatural items, and even allows ghost controllers to stay at the Peace Hotel, is not to make money, but to find puzzle pieces for the Peace Hotel and increase the supernatural intensity of the Peace Hotel.

"Maybe only by destroying the Peace Hotel can we see the real store manager. But the store manager at that time may have lost his humanity. Unlike now, the store manager who usually appears in front of everyone has quite a few shortcomings. Many times he even He may be inconsistent, but he is still the same person. Compared with that real but unknown existence, the store manager in front of me is more in line with my needs."

Wang Xiaoming looks at the world with absolute calmness, including the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

Any news about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" will get his attention, including the news that Tong Qian brought back this time.

The ghost post office is also one of Wang Xiaoming's targets.

"The ghost controllers during the Republic of China left too many things behind, and the ghost post office should be one of them. Since it is a post office, it will naturally have managers. The current ghost post office is still operating according to the established rules, which means it is not out of control. Naturally, there will also be managers. Obviously, this is the manager of the ghost post office who is targeting you and wants to make you a messenger and the power of the ghost post office. And Zhang Xianguang is in the ghost post office. The previous one went to the ghost post office. He also gave you the stationery, and he is very likely to be the manager."

Tong Qian was shocked and said quickly: "That's not right. If he is the manager of the ghost post office, why is he still restricted by the ghost post office and still living in the world of oil paintings?"

Wang Xiaoming said lightly: "In the message left by Yinzi, Zhang Xianguang attacked her in the ghost post office, not in the oil painting. And the gorilla represents an alien in the eyes of the 'store manager'. If he is really created by the supernatural power of the ghost post office The character should become a robot like Yang Xiaotian."

Wang Xiaoming could analyze such an obvious loophole without even using his brain.

After hearing this, Tong Qian understood what the sense of disobedience she had been feeling was about, "So, Zhang Xianguang is the most dangerous person."

Wang Xiaoming took out a piece of information and said, "This is Zhang Xianguang's information. Maybe you will be interested."

Zhang Xianguang, born in 1942, is from Shuangqiao Town, Dahan City. He used to be a primary school teacher in Shuangqiao Town...

Tong Qian recalled Zhang Xianguang's appearance and said in a deep voice: "He doesn't look like an old man in his sixties or seventies, but rather like a thirty-year-old man."

Wang Xiaoming said: "That's the problem. The ghost controllers of that period were very mysterious. I once asked Mr. Qin, but Mr. Qin seemed to have some scruples and was unwilling to reveal too much information, but I can guess some."

Tong Qian said solemnly: "Since he wants me to go to the ghost post office, then I will go and have a look. With the supernatural protection of the 'store manager', at least I will not be in danger of life. If I encounter real danger, I can Ask the store manager for help.”

"But that doesn't mean there's no danger. Just like Yin Zi, is she really unwilling to return to the Peace Hotel after she's been missing for so long?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

Tong Qian's heart suddenly tightened, "Professor Wang, do you mean He Yin'er is in danger?"

"High probability. After all, her satellite phone couldn't track the location. But judging from the fact that she didn't have time to ask the 'store manager' for help, the danger she encountered was an instant danger. Even if she didn't die, her consciousness was suppressed. This also shows that the supernatural protection of the 'store manager' is not perfect, and keeping you alive is not true happiness, but will be a kind of hellish torture."

Tong Qian's expression kept changing with Wang Xiaoming's analysis, but Wang Xiaoming hadn't finished speaking yet and continued: "I have a guess that maybe Zhang Xianguang's real goal is not you, but the Peace Hotel. In the face of an almost unsolvable supernatural existence , can also look for opportunities to steal power, isn’t that always the case with humans?”

Humans, aren’t they always like this?

Tong Qian fell into silence. She was clearly aware of the almost inexplicable power of the Peace Hotel and the "store manager", but at this time she also felt a strong sense of crisis.

But she couldn't say anything yet, otherwise it would be contrary to her identity card. Then she would be attacked by supernatural beings at the Peace Hotel, let alone do anything else.

"What you need to do now is to help us thoroughly research the Peace Hotel and the 'store manager', and use his power to solve supernatural incidents, which is also related to the future of all mankind."

Wang Xiaoming's voice was sincere, which made Tong Qian's blood boil with enthusiasm and a sense of mission. "Professor Wang, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

"Ah."

Wang Xiaoming nodded, and then glanced at Cao Yanhua, seemingly as a warning.

Cao Yanhua grinned and said to himself: "Professor Wang took away Tong Qian's brain with just a few words. However, the responsibility of the person in charge is the same as that of the soldiers. They are fighting on the front line of protecting the family and the country. What is required is to obey orders. Rather than a mess of stragglers. I was stupid to remind Tong Qian."

But he had one last question, "Sun Rui and Cao Yang, why didn't they come back with you?"

"The white fog outside the Peace Hotel can connect various places, but wherever you enter, you have to exit somewhere. Cao Yang and Sun Rui didn't want to go back to the ghost post office, so they took the ghost bus and left."

They tore up the letter and, since they were in a ghost post office, were attacked by ghosts from the ghost post office.

If they return to the ghost post office now, they are likely to be attacked by the ghost again, so it is understandable that they return to reality via the ghost bus.

But the letter delivery rules of the ghost post office make it impossible for them to escape.

Cao Yanhua rubbed his eyebrows and said, "After you put the satellite phone on the ghost bus, a special person has been watching the ghost bus. I will immediately contact Cao Yang once I find that the ghost bus appears in reality. Professor Wang, your side How many red ghost candles are there?”

Wang Xiaoming said: "If they are assigned to deal with the ghost post office incident, it will be about five."

Cao Yanhua looked a little unhappy, because Wang Xiaoming said that it could be allocated to Cao Yang and Sun Rui, instead of answering him about the reserve amount of red ghost candles.

The answer was wrong and proved the value of Cao Yang and Sun Rui in Wang Xiaoming's eyes.

Wang Xiaoming continued: "Cao Yang can ask the 'store manager' for help. As long as he uses it properly, it is not a big problem to deal with the ghosts in the ghost post office. If he doesn't have the brain, then giving him more red ghost candles will be a waste. "

Cao Yanhua took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

This matter has come to an end for now, and we have to wait for news about Cao Yang and Sun Rui, but Tong Qian is still concerned about another thing, "How is Liu Qingqing's situation now?"

Cao Yanhua said: "Missing."

"Missing?" Tong Qian frowned, "Didn't she always have people following her? How could she be missing?"

"When the helicopter passed by Dachuan City, Liu Qingqing left through the ghost zone without leaving any information. I have asked the person in charge of Dachuan City to find her. If there is any news, he will notify us immediately."

If there is no news...

Now Liu Qingqing has become a bit dangerous, which makes Cao Yanhua not in a good mood, "Tong Qian, you have a deep connection with the Peace Hotel, but you cannot stay at the Peace Hotel under any circumstances. Do you understand?"

There are many people from the headquarters who have entered the Peace Hotel, but the only one who has problems is Liu Qingqing, who often stays at the Peace Hotel.

When he said this, he didn't notice that Li Jun, who had been standing quietly next to Wang Xiaoming, looked a little solemn. It wasn't until Cao Yanhua and Tong Qian left that he spoke, "Professor Wang, I also stayed at the Peace Hotel for one night. Nothing will go wrong?"

Wang Xiaoming glanced at him and said, "I ask you to imprison the 'store manager' now, are you willing?"

Li Jun replied without any hesitation: "I'll go immediately!"

Wang Xiaoming waved his hand, "If you have doubts about your situation, then ask yourself if you are willing to imprison the 'store manager'. Of course, it is not ruled out that your will has been eroded and you are deliberately pretending, but you just Staying for one night shouldn't have eroded it so deeply, which is why I didn't let you go to the Peace Hotel during this period."

Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and his vigilance towards the Peace Hotel had been raised to the extreme.

In the early morning, Lin Yuan woke up on time.

His biological clock seemed to be stabilized, and he would fall asleep at the same time and wake up at the same time every day, unless something happened or unexpected.

But he didn't notice this himself. At most, there was no breakfast prepared by Liu Qingqing this morning, so he was a little disappointed.

When he went down to the first floor, the store door was already open.

He Yuelian and the twins were cleaning the store, Xianglan had also sat at the piano, and today's cook Tong Qian... Tong Qian?

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Liu Qingqing back?"

"She went to Dachuan City and said she wanted to relax, so I came to work today." Tong Qian would not tell Liu Qingqing's situation.

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "You won't be the one to leave without saying goodbye next time, right?"

Tong Qian's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "Boss, don't get me wrong. He Yin'er and Liu Qingqing must really have something going on, so that's why..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and interrupted her, "I know it. There is no business in our store, and the workload given to you to become a regular employee is too large, and there is no hope of becoming a regular employee. If it were me, I would choose to change jobs. But after all, we have just met each other. If you really want to leave, I hope you can tell me in advance so that we can get together and part ways."

Seeing his frustrated look, Tong Qian and He Yuelian's hearts ached unconsciously. As if they couldn't bear to see Lin Yuan so sad, they hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, boss, I won't leave."

It can be heard that Tong Qian is definitely sincere, and in order to complete the tasks of the headquarters, even if Lin Yuan drives her away, she has to stay in various ways.

He Yuelian is also sincere, but her situation is somewhat different from Tong Qian's.

She is an ordinary person and does not possess any supernatural power, so she is the most affected by the supernatural influence of the Peace Hotel. Even if she does not stay in the hotel every night, her affection and dependence on Lin Yuan has reached a certain level.

Lin Yuan suddenly became happy, "It's better for you. By the way, last time I was at the Caesar Hotel, I met a captain named Shen Liang from the headquarters. He said that the police officers there were going to have a dinner, but there has been no news yet. If any of you contact me, it can be counted as your number of regular tasks."

Ok?

The truth is revealed, is there such a benefit?

He Yuelian was immediately overjoyed, "Boss, you are too kind. If it were my daddy, he would definitely not count the business he solicited on others, let alone complete the task."

Lin Yuan laughed and said: "It's not bad, then you have to work harder, don't let me live up to my expectations!"

"Yes, boss!"
