I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 191 Invasion

Just like its name, Taiping Ancient Town has always been peaceful, but this peace is not obtained for nothing, but is the result of the efforts of generations of people.

In the characteristic hotel, the old man stood up, picked up the oil lamp and came to the door.

The thick white mist created waves under the light of the oil lamp. It was obvious that this oil lamp was also a powerful supernatural item with considerable power.

It's a pity that its light only moved about ten centimeters, and then was squeezed back by the white mist that returned to normal, and it could no longer shine any further.

The old man's face changed slightly, "What the hell is coming? Is the ghost realm so scary? I don't know if Lao He and the others have noticed this. I just don't know if this ghost is wandering here or was given to someone with a heart. It was brought here. No matter what, you still have to go out and take a look to avoid problems."

He was about to go out, but the moment he lifted his feet, he suddenly raised his head and saw a pair of slightly delighted eyes staring directly at him from an unknown depth of white mist.

The old man's face instantly turned ugly, "Are you being targeted?"

On the street, Lin Yuan was looking for the location of the ancient street. Suddenly he felt someone watching him, so he looked over suspiciously. This action made Zhou Deng look over curiously, and then he saw a special hotel.

That’s right, the name is: Special Hotel!

The corner of Zhou Deng's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that this place was not as reliable as he thought, but Lin Yuan had already walked over, and he could only follow.

Soon they arrived at the door of the hotel. An old man in his sixties was blocking the door with an oil lamp. He looked at them warily, as if he had seen something terrible, with a solemn expression on his face.

This was a middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face. He looked like a normal person. However, Zhou Deng noticed at this time that this waiter seemed to be very light. When he walked, he was clearly stepping on the ground with every step. on the floor, but there was no sound.

Old Liu chuckled and said: "Of course not, the room also has features suitable for you young people."

Boss Liu first put the oil lamp back on the counter, then blocked Zhou Deng's view of the oil lamp with his body, and then took a serious look at Lin Yuan.

This guy is thinking about our baby!

Boss Liu said helplessly: "Boss Lin has also noticed that their situation is a bit special. If they take things they shouldn't take, they will naturally have to pay the price. Even if they go to the hospital, there is nothing they can do. After all, this disease can be cured these days. There are basically no doctors left. It would be better if we could find the old Chinese doctor Zhang Bohua."

Lin Yuan also noticed Zhou Deng's performance, and immediately slapped him angrily.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Boss Liu's forehead, but his acting skills were indeed on point.

Zhou Deng recalled something, and there seemed to be something extra in his ordinary memory. In his memory, the young couple who were originally normal turned pale, and the clothes around their waists were scattered and stained with blood, and their haphazardly stitched clothes were exposed. There are no technical wounds.

Boss Liu looked at Lin Yuan with the same eyes as Zhou Deng at this time, just because he also noticed that there was a problem with his memory.

"Hello, Boss Liu. This guy has bad habits. Just ignore him. I think your hotel business is good. My name is Lin Yuan. I also own a hotel. I also have a hotel business. I would like to learn from Boss Liu. If it works, I can pay.”

"Today's young people are really ridiculously strong. Fortunately, Taiping Ancient Town is kind to people and will not provoke the ghost masters outside. If we really want to cause trouble, I am afraid that this young man named Lin Yuan will come here alone. Taiping All these old guys in the ancient town must be buried."

He looked at Lin Yuan in shock. He was not surprised at his "negligence". He was sure that he had definitely not seen it wrong just now, but the picture in his memory had been changed.

The corner of Boss Liu's mouth twitched, and he moved the oil lamp left and right without leaving any trace, and Zhou Deng's eyes also moved accordingly, which confirmed his thoughts.

At this time, the old man looked at Zhou Deng, then at Lin Yuan, and then at Zhou Deng again. His tense mood instantly relaxed a lot, "You two, are you here to stay in the hotel? I'm from this hotel." The owner of the hotel, my surname is Liu."

Snapped!

Zhou Deng received a slap. Although the slap was not strong, it still frightened him. Fortunately, there was no supernatural power on it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman suddenly blushed with embarrassment and glared at Old Liu hatefully, while the man burst out laughing, "I'm just saying, it'll bother the boss. But don't install a camera. I'll check it after I go in." Yes, if it happens I will call the police immediately."

The young couple got the keys with satisfaction. Boss Liu also called a waiter to come down and take them upstairs. Then he put away his bright smile and explained in Zhou Deng's contemptuous eyes: "It's business these days. Don't look at the small town. There are a lot of tourists coming here, but it’s too close to Zhongzhou City, so many tourists will go back to live in the city and won’t stay here for long at all.”

This is a handsome young man who looks nothing unusual and doesn't feel the slightest bit supernatural.

"Don't worry, this is a regular store."

Lin Yuan thought Zhou Deng was scared, so he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, the young couple looked like they were voluntary, and there shouldn't be any forced buying or selling. Maybe the mask is very important to them, so even if We have to buy it back even if we risk our lives. We have to respect their choice, doesn’t Boss Liu think so too?”

Lin Yuan's attitude was very sincere, and he directly explained his intention without any twists and turns.

"Boss, let me open a room. For some reason today, it suddenly became so foggy that I can't go anywhere else. By the way, boss, the uniqueness of your store is not just the name."

Machines and robot waiters?

Boss Liu was stunned for a moment. At this time, the previous waiter came down to clean.

So weird...

Zhou Deng squinted his eyes, his eyes narrowed... No, he was drooling and looking at the oil lamp in Boss Liu's hand without turning his eyes, "So it's Boss Liu. Boss Liu doesn't look simple either. "

But when the hotel owner who called himself Lin Yuan came in, the white mist from outside the room also poured in, tightly surrounding Lin Yuan, and at the same time, the hotel became foggy.

Obviously, this is Lin Yuan's masterpiece.

Lin Yuandao: "Those two people just now, don't you recommend them to go to the hospital?"

I saw him wiping the sweat on his forehead, laughing at himself and saying with a wry smile: "As we get older, we can't stand even a little movement. Lin Yuan, right? The business of my hotel is not bad and can allow me to survive, but if It’s not too popular to say it’s popular, and there’s no secret. It’s just that this place has a lot of traffic, and it just so happens that my store has some special features and the prices are not expensive, that’s it.”

At this moment, a young couple, a man and a woman, came in and stayed in the hotel. The woman was holding a mask in her hand.

Does this mean that the "store manager" still has the ability to invade people's consciousness?

One glance showed that they were not going to die soon, but they wore bright smiles. Even in the memory, Zhou Deng felt a chill down his back.

"Boss, where did you buy your robot waiter? I heard that there is a shop specializing in selling robots in the ancient town. Did you buy it there? Is it good to use?"

Zhou Deng felt a little confused, "Wait! What are you talking about? The couple just now was seriously ill?"

The corner of Boss Liu's mouth twitched, and he wanted to reply: "Brother, can you not bring me with you when you insult someone?"

The young couple just now was just a small incident. As long as it was not a forced purchase or sale, Lin Yuan would not interfere.

Lin Yuan nodded, "It can't be regarded as an illness, but the prices in this ancient town seem to be a bit high. Did you see the masks they were holding just now? It should be the product they bought, and for this product, the things in their bodies Some organs were cut off, there were such obvious stitching marks, and there were bloodstains on the body, didn’t you see? I still like the look in my eyes...not as good as Boss Liu’s."

Lin Yuan and Boss Liu both looked at the mask with regretful expressions on their faces, but neither of them spoke.

"Is this kid the master of this ghost realm? Are all the new generation of ghost masters so strong, and they also like to tease people so much? If I fall out, I'm afraid I have no chance of winning. Forget it, in doing business, you have to be friendly and make money. , Lao He is the manager of Taiping Ancient Town, let him handle it. Since this young man wants to pretend to be an ordinary person, then just pretend, our acting skills are also very good. "

Everyone has the right to decide their own life, and Lin Yuan will not interfere with other people's choices. What he cares about now is the waiter.

Lin Yuan nodded in approval, "It's quite unique, and it's attractive right from the name."

But when he walked down, he gradually changed and turned into a robot, and the robot still had that kind smile on its face.

Zhou Deng felt that it was nothing. He had seen the "store manager"'s information from the headquarters, and had also seen the "store manager" turn people into gorillas at the slightest disagreement.

Now it's just a robot, it's nothing... shit!

"The store manager's supernatural power is too powerful. In other words, it can no longer be regarded as supernatural power. It has actually reached the point where he can do whatever he says. Isn't he a god?"

Boss Liu also looked at his waiter in shock. He was speechless for a moment and his mind was a little confused. "What the hell I bought is a paper man. I spent seven yuan to buy a paper man, and it just turned into a paper man." A robot?"

Seeing that Boss Liu didn't answer, Lin Yuan didn't mind. He came to the waiter robot and looked at it, "The workmanship is very exquisite, but the intelligence seems a bit low, just one expression. Boss Liu, this robot is not expensive, right?"

Boss Liu took a deep breath. He had already experienced too much in just ten minutes today.

He was old and couldn't keep up with his thinking, so he subconsciously said: "It's still a little expensive, it costs seven yuan... one... one..."

"What? Seven dollars? So expensive?"

Lin Yuan was startled, and this reaction also made Zhou Deng on the side couldn't stop complaining: "It's only seven yuan, which is too expensive. Why don't you say that a dish in your store sells for three yuan? Two or three dishes can be enough Buy a robot like this. If prices are like this now, either the hotel will be rectified or the robot manufacturer will go bankrupt."

But Lin Yuan didn't realize this at all, or he didn't want to realize this.

Boss Liu pointed in one direction, "It's okay, but that store's business has been sluggish recently. Boss Lin, if you buy a few more, maybe the price will drop. Well, that store is in that direction, there are It's an ancient street. You can go straight across the bridge from the old archway and you can see it when you get there. By the way, there are some other stores inside. If Boss Lin is interested, you can go in and have a look."

"Okay, let me go over and take a look first. Zhou Deng is gone. Even if you stay in the hotel alone, you won't be able to enjoy those 'special' services."

Lin Yuan added an accent to the word "characteristics". Zhou Dengshan followed him with a smile, not daring to joke with Lin Yuan like a normal friend, which made Lin Yuan boring.

Following the direction pointed by Boss Liu, Lin Yuan and Zhou Deng quickly came to a street intersection. There was a stone archway at the intersection. Affected by the wind and sun, the archway was weathered and severely worn, and the top was dark and old. And it’s still incomplete. Even the words Taiping Ancient Town have become blurry. At first glance, it looks like Shikou Town, but there are still a lot of people inside. There are pedestrians on the road, and some are open for business. of shops.

Although it's not as good as the new city, it's pretty good.

Following the path pointed by Liu, the owner of the "special" hotel, Lin Yuan and Zhou Deng walked straight until a stone bridge appeared about halfway through.

The stone bridge is very old. You can tell at a glance that it has a history of at least a hundred years. The fence next to it is made of stainless steel and should have been installed in recent years.

There is a river above the bridge. The water is very clear and cold.

As soon as he got on the bridge, Zhou Deng felt a chill rushing up from below, and Lin Yuan also stopped and looked at the river solemnly.

Zhou Deng's face peeled off, "Boss Lin, is there anything wrong with this river?"

"Yes, the problem is big." Lin Yuan said in a serious tone.

This startled Zhou Deng, and he almost took out the human skin mask and put it on his face. After all, this is a river that even the almost incomprehensible "store manager" finds difficult. Can it be simple?

From the moment he got off the ghost bus, the satellite phone in Zhou Deng's arms has not been disconnected and has been broadcasting "live broadcast" to the headquarters.

At the Dajing City headquarters at this time, Cao Yanhua looked solemn, "There is indeed something weird in Taiping Ancient Town. Who is the person in charge of Zhongzhou City? Ask him to rush over immediately. The young couple in the special hotel, and the river in the ancient town, They all need to be handled properly and must not lead to a supernatural incident!"

"The person in charge of Zhongzhou City is Cheng Hao. I will contact him immediately."

A woman with a sweet voice answered. Even though she was very serious, it didn't sound like she was working, but rather like she was acting coquettishly.

But everyone present was not surprised.

The liaison officers assigned to the people in charge by the headquarters are usually of the opposite sex, and they fit the image of the respective love objects of this group of ghost masters.

It's not to carry out a seduction plan. After all, the headquarters is an official organization and is not so limitless.

This is just a way to reduce the difficulty of communication with the ghost masters. So far, it seems that the effect is actually pretty good.

After making arrangements, Cao Yanhua, Wang Xiaoming, Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang and others listened to the information coming from Zhou Deng's satellite phone.

But the next words made Cao Yanhua, who had just given the order, feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yuan: "This river looks clear, but in fact it has an extremely strong fishy smell, which means there must be a lot of aquatic products upstream. Can't you smell it?"

Zhou Deng: "No, Boss Lin, you said the big problem is this."

Lin Yuan: "What else?"

At the Dajing City Headquarters, the originally busy command center was silent. Most people looked at Cao Yanhua indifferently. Cao Yanhua was very embarrassed and explained: "No matter what, we must have enough knowledge to deal with any supernatural incident." He must be very cautious, especially the 'store manager', who needs to pay attention to every move he makes. Maybe what he sees as a fish is actually a ghost in our eyes?"

Wang Xiaoming said: "Minister Cao is right, or it is for sure. In the filter perspective of the 'store manager', the ghosts will turn into animals, so will the ghosts in the water be fish and shrimps? If that is the case, The upper reaches of the river in Taiping Ancient Town are in trouble. There are definitely a terrifying number of ghosts. Maybe that river is a river where supernatural beings have spread, but it has not completely exploded. Once it breaks out, maybe not only Zhongzhou City will fall. .”

If Cao Yanhua's words can be regarded as sophistry, then Wang Xiaoming's words are a bombshell.

As an ordinary person, Wang Xiaoming's research on ghosts, even Wei Jing, who had controlled two deadly ghosts, and even Cao Yang, who had controlled three ghosts, felt a terrifying chill.

Li Jun said directly: "Professor Wang, this kind of terrifying supernatural being is not something Cheng Hao can handle alone."

Wang Xiaoming said: "I understand what you mean. I am also very interested in that river. If I have time, I hope to go there and see it in person."

"Professor Wang, you..."

"Don't try to persuade me. There hasn't been any supernatural incident in that river yet, which means it's still under control. And now it's been discovered by the 'store manager'. With the 'store manager's' desire and need for ghosts, as long as he confirms that The river is an ownerless thing and we will never let go of the opportunity to catch fish and shrimps. Perhaps this horrific and supernatural incident that has not yet occurred will never occur."

"But it's just a possibility, isn't it?"

"Everything will stand in advance, and nothing will be abandoned if you don't."

Faced with Wang Xiaoming's insistence, Cao Yanhua had no choice but to compromise, "Then let Li Jun and Wei Jing accompany you, Professor Wang, so that even if something unexpected happens, you can still have a chance to leave."

"it is good."

Wang Xiaoming did not refuse, he still cherished his life until no one could replace his own value.

Zhou Deng didn't expect that much in Taiping Ancient Town. He thought Lin Yuan was talking about ordinary fish and shrimp, and suddenly looked over with a ridiculous and speechless expression.

Lin Yuan laughed and said: "Don't be so serious. This is not in line with your character. Let's go and take time to go upstream when we come back. Maybe we can gain something. I just don't know if upstream has a master. If it is ownerless, then talk to the person in charge of Zhongzhou City to see if it can be contracted."

Zhou Deng didn't pay much attention, but Cao Yanhua's voice came from the earphones, "After confirming the situation on the upper reaches of the river, if it is a supernatural incident, take him to the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, Cheng Hao."

Zhou Deng did not answer, but looked back at the river under the stone bridge, and then quickly followed Lin Yuan.

After crossing the bridge and walking forward, there are no streets. There are old residential buildings on the left and right. Some residential buildings are still open for business, and there are also pedestrians on the road.

But now it's foggy, and it's getting thicker and thicker, making it almost impossible to see where you are. Some shops are already closing.

"Then Boss Liu is not lying to us, is there any ancient street here?" Zhou Deng looked around and saw nothing.

Even if that street exists in an unknown place, but it is now in the "store manager's" ghostland, it should be revealed.

Lin Yuan pointed in front of him and said, "Isn't this it?"

"Where……"

Before Zhou Deng finished speaking, he saw that the original residential building in front of him suddenly became blurry, and then an old street with a sense of age quickly became clear, as if it was gradually appearing from some supernatural place where reality does not exist. out.

This ancient street does not exist in reality, but because the ghost realm of the "store manager" has opened up a certain boundary, but without the permission of the "store manager", it cannot be seen even in the ghost realm of the "store manager".

Zhou Deng felt that his mouth and tongue were a little dry.

Although he felt the terror of the "store manager" when he was getting along with him at the Peace Hotel, today's experience made him feel even more powerless.

There are also many pedestrians in the street, both men and women, and they are wearing various clothes.

There are those from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as those from the Republic of China. These all kinds of people are mixed together, as if they have witnessed the history of this street.

Lin Yuan walked towards the ancient street. When he crossed a certain limit, he suddenly stopped, and the white mist around him also began to surge towards the ancient street.

The ancient street seems to possess great supernatural power, making it impossible for Lin Yuan to enter the white mist ghost realm that was originally invincible.

Zhou Deng's eyes widened, "Isn't it? This place is so scary that not even the 'store manager' can enter?"

Originally, he was still a little itchy and was going to have a good fight here. Anyway, with the help of the "store manager", even if he missed it, he wouldn't be stuck here.

But the scene before him instantly extinguished most of his thoughts.

"Wait, the 'store manager's' eyes..."

In Zhou Deng's sight, Lin Yuan stopped in place, but the originally black and white pupils were gradually disappearing, and the thick mist began to gather, and then dispersed after reaching a certain limit.

As the mist in Lin Yuan's eyes dissipated, the already tyrannical ghost realm became a little denser again.

The power of the ancient street could no longer prevent the invasion of white mist. At this time, He Liansheng walked out of the ancestral hall with an oil lamp, looked in the direction of the street and murmured: "Has Taiping Ancient Town been silent for too long? Someone actually dares to invade." Come in."
