I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 225 Return to 301
"Could it be that... they are all dead? Otherwise..."

If they were not dead, why would the satellite positioning phones of Jiang Shangbai, Liu San, Cao Yang, and Sun Rui fall into the hands of these guys who are obviously ghost slaves?
"Just because the satellite positioning phone is missing, it doesn't mean they are dead. We don't have to rush to a conclusion until we see the bodies or their ghosts."

Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice.

This is to stabilize the morale of the military. Otherwise, if these four people die, how many resurrected ghosts will there be in this Dachuan City?
What's even more terrifying is that company captains Liu San, Jiang Shangbai, and Cao Yang all died here. So what kind of terrifying ghost is hiding in this city that is not shrouded in ghost territory?

As the top commander present, Cao Yanhua's stability made everyone feel a little relieved. Although they still held pessimistic conclusions, they were also willing to try to think on the bright side.

Only Wang Xiaoming stared at Cao Yanhua thoughtfully, "His voice just now was trembling abnormally. It didn't sound like fear, but more like...pain?"

Cao Yanhua suddenly looked over, but Wang Xiaoming did not look away and looked at him calmly.

After a brief silence, Cao Yanhua said: "Professor Wang, do you have any suggestions for this situation?"

Wang Xiaoming then turned his attention back to the big screen, "The situation in Dachuan City is very serious. Even if Cao Yang and the others are not dead, they have even lost their satellite positioning mobile phones, which means that their condition is already very critical. Moreover, the ghosts in Dachuan City You can use their mobile phones to call us, do you understand what this means?”

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Shangbai couldn't wait that long and wanted to completely control the circle of friends in advance.

The picture before me is the result.

Such an idea is too dangerous and absolutely impossible to accept.

Everyone present knew Fang Shiming's basic situation.

First, the balance of the three ghosts in his body was broken by Ye Zhen, and he had to go into seclusion when the ghosts almost revived. As a result, in the seclusion state, he somehow provoked the "store manager" again, and was found by the "store manager" through the media. He came over and took away the two ghosts in his body.

Cao Yanhua sighed.

Fang Shiming only had one ghost left in his hands, and he had only controlled one ghost, and he was on the verge of reviving the evil ghost. No matter how he looked at it, he would not live long.

"There is a possibility, so let's wait and see what happens. Dachuan City is out of control now. If the store manager fails to show up in time, we can only ask Mr. Qin to take action."

result?

Dachuan City is a top-ranked city in the country. The situation is so critical now. If something is not done, it may cause turmoil across the country and even attract some international forces to covet it.

Cao Yanhua's eyes lit up, "Tong Qian, when you go back to the Peace Hotel, take a satellite positioning mobile phone with you. After all, you also work under the store manager, and sometimes you still have to do some human affairs, so you just use this mobile phone to go there. There’s nothing wrong with it in exchange for the store manager’s favor.”

Cao Yanhua stopped the continuation of this terrible thought, "Continue to scan Dachuan City, looking for the store manager Lin Yuan. He went to Dachuan City to deliver 'takeaway', and he should have arrived now. If he can take action, things will be fine." solve."

"Is there a possibility that after Fang Shiming solved the problem of his own ghost resuscitation, he learned that Jiang Shangbai was in Dachuan City, so he deliberately sought it out?"

Lu Zhiwen spoke slowly, "Now I suddenly understand, maybe God is a ghost with consciousness?"

The two ghosts were later funded by the headquarters and asked the "store manager" to help Cao Yang control and kill them.

Tong Qian nodded and said with approval: "It's a pity that the store manager doesn't have a mobile phone and can't contact him directly. Otherwise, things would be much simpler."

He uses his mobile phone to make calls and pretends to be the captain or person in charge of the headquarters. What does this mean?
"That ghost has self-awareness?"

Lu Zhiwen is specially responsible for organizing supernatural files. He has the most contact with the information about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager", and naturally has the most feelings.

"It seems that there was a big opportunity during the period when Fang Shiming disappeared, and he actually solved the problem of Li Gui's resurrection. If he comes back alive, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

Tong Qian looked confused.

store manager?

My boss taught me to please the owner of the restaurant where I was working as an undercover agent. Was this a test of my attitude, or was it really teaching me how to deal with human relationships?

Peace Hotel, manager Lin Yuan?
The Peace Hotel has been around for nearly two months. A lot of supernatural information about the Peace Hotel has been collected through Tong Qian and others, but the identity of the "store manager" has never been clearly defined.

"When I was sorting out the information, I once thought about a question. If there are ghosts in the world, why is there no God?"

Fang Shiming used supernatural power on such a large scale, how could he look like he was about to revive a ghost?

In one of the scenes, a man in a very bad condition is riding a shared bicycle, avoiding the ghost slaves who are constantly chasing him.

But what if the immortal ghost has consciousness?

Mr. Qin is the foundation and foundation of the headquarters. He cannot be dispatched easily, let alone leave Dajing City, otherwise accidents are likely to occur.

It is common knowledge that evil ghosts with ghost realms can create ghost slaves, but the ghost slaves that appear in known supernatural events with ghost realms are all unconscious corpses.

In the picture, the ghost slaves chasing Fang Shiming will fall down in pieces after approaching a certain area, as if they have been touched by some terrible supernatural being and their own spirituality has been wiped out.

"But looking at his condition, it doesn't seem to be as bad as expected. At least he can continue to use his supernatural power, and he doesn't have to worry about the ghost reviving in a short period of time."

The staff adjusted the big screen again, and soon two side-by-side pictures appeared on the big screen.

As soon as the image of this man appeared, the same name appeared in everyone's mind:
Fang Shiming!
"After the last dinner at the Peace Hotel, there was a horrific supernatural conflict in the Ping An Building. After that, Jiang Shangbai's voice was the only one left in the circle of friends. I thought Fang Shiming was dead, but I didn't expect that he was still alive. And also went to Dachuan City.”

Lu Zhiwen sighed and said in a voice that only he, Li Jun, Wang Xiaoming, and Cao Yanhua could hear: "I wouldn't have thought so before, but... where is the store manager?"

But there is no way now.

Li Jun frowned and said: "God is a ghost with consciousness? Your idea is too pessimistic. Is it possible that we are fighting a god now? This is not something you can say."

The evil ghost is immortal. This is already an extremely despairing conclusion, but even in such a desperate environment, heroes still emerge one after another, leading mankind to move forward in despair.

"Except for Mingyue Community and its surrounding areas, which are shrouded in ghostland, there is no sign of the 'store manager' anywhere else, but there are some unexpected gains."

Tong Qian made a guess that frightened everyone and made everyone feel cold all over.

"what?"

"This is not the time. How to deal with the supernatural incidents in Dachuan City is the top priority."

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to the picture on the right.

But it seemed a little late at this time. All they saw was an old face and a meaningful look.

Then, the old man carrying the vegetable basket completely disappeared from the camera.

"That's...Meng Xiaodong, Granny Meng?" Tong Qian recognized it immediately.

At this time, Li Leping's liaison officer shouted in surprise: "It's connected, Li Leping's call has been connected, minister!"

Cao Yanhua took three steps at a time and said directly to the landline phone: "Li Leping, I am Cao Yanhua. How is the situation over there?"

A voice came from the phone: "Minister Cao, I am not Li Leping, I am...Cao Yang!"

……

In a room on the ground floor of Building 1 at the entrance of Mingyue Community, Cao Yang and Sun Rui were hiding here, but no ghosts came to attack them, so they were barely safe.

Through the satellite positioning mobile phone, Cao Yang reported the intelligence he got, "This is all the information I got. Some of the information was obtained from the mobile phone left by Li Leping. The authenticity is unknown, but it is credible." The degree is higher. By the way, Sun Rui and I are together.”

Cao Yanhua's voice on the phone was obviously suppressed with excitement, but it also contained a hint of doubt, "How do you prove your identity?"

Cao Yang was startled and asked in confusion: "Prove your identity?"

"We have contacted you two, as well as the satellite positioning mobile phones of Jiang Shangbai and Liu San, but all the calls from their mobile phones are ghost slaves, and they are using your identities to deceive. Your current location is shrouded in a ghost realm , I can’t see your situation clearly, so I can’t confirm your authenticity.”

Cao Yang fell silent, and Sun Rui coughed and said: "According to what you said, that ghost involves the level of consciousness, and the people he transformed into ghost slaves also have consciousness. It is possible that they can also steal the memories of ghost slaves. In this case, We really have no way to prove our identity. Even if we tell some secrets, it may be the answer after the ghost stole the memory, but there is no need to prove it, right? "

The voice on the other end of the phone changed to Wang Xiaoming, "You are right, your identity is not important anymore. Because what you are going to do next is to conflict with the ghosts in Mingyue Community, whether you are really Cao Yang and Sun Rui, or the ghost slave of that ghost, it doesn't matter, but unfortunately, the information is limited now, and I can't provide you with much help, but I need to remind you that the sleepwalking ghost will come out at night. Let’s go, although it’s morning now, it might be night in Mingyue Community.”

what?
Cao Yang and Sun Rui subconsciously looked at the window. At this time, the window had been closed with thick curtains. Looking out through the small gap in the curtains, they could only see the gloomy night sky.

And below this line of sight, a skinny corpse was standing there quietly, its deeply sunken eyes moving strangely, and it happened to be looking at Cao Yang and Sun Ruilai affectionately.

The skinny corpse was covered with a person in charge's uniform, which was exactly the same as those worn by Cao Yang and Sun Rui.

There are three clear characters on the gold plate on the chest of this uniform:
Li Leping!
daytime?

night?

Sleepwalker?
Li Leping?
Cao Yang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately opened the ghost realm and left.

"go!"

What they didn't notice was that the skinny corpse didn't chase after him, but instead murmured in a low voice: "It's not even close..."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned and looked at the entrance of Mingyue Community.

Under the instruction of Li Leping, the person in charge of Dachuan City, the entrance to Mingyue Community has long been turned into ruins, with obvious signs of construction, and has become very narrow, leaving only a trail in and out. If everything goes well, it will only take half a month for the gate of Mingyue Community to completely disappear and turn into an asphalt road running from east to west.

At this time, on this trail, a stooped old man was walking slowly. She was holding a vegetable basket in her hand, as if she had just returned home from shopping.

Everything is very normal, but also very abnormal.

The skinny corpse hid its figure in the deep ghost realm, staring at the old man who was walking slowly.

Countless memories were flowing in his mind. When the old man turned his head and looked over, he finally had a clear answer:

Room 9, Building 301, an old man living alone, Meng Xiaodong!

"Didn't she disappear for more than a month? Why did she suddenly come back at this critical moment? And...she found me?"

The skinny corpse obviously has self-awareness, and even though it is deep in a deep ghost realm, it still feels like it is being watched.

Fortunately, the old man quickly retracted his gaze, as if it was just an accident, or an illusion.

The skinny corpse was not at all happy, but instead filled with deep shock and the uneasiness of losing control of the situation.

The old man, Meng Xiaodong, ignored all this.

She just walked towards her home at her own pace, where there was now half an old friend. I don't know what her condition was like and whether she had a moment to remember clearly.

After all, he still had to take a look. After all, she was his biological sister.

"Boss Lin has to deliver food, and he also needs to find Guiyingtou. He won't come here so soon. I still have some time. It's just a pity that the boy won't come here."

Meng Xiaodong whispered to himself in a low voice, with a touch of regret.

At this time, on the way out of Tai O City, the supernatural light walking in the light couldn't help but sneeze, and his originally calm face suddenly became serious.

Beings like him have long been separated from the category of ordinary people who sneeze.

and so……

"Is someone thinking about me, or is it malicious?"

The supernatural light suddenly glanced at He Yuelian beside him, and He Yuelian also looked at him calmly, "Are you going to attack me?"

The supernatural light shook his head, "I said, I'm not a bad person, I just have an opportunity to give you. But whether you can grasp it or not depends on you."

He Yuelian sneered, obviously not believing what the supernatural light said.

The supernatural light didn't mind either. He glanced in the direction of Dajing City and rubbed his head with a headache, "He hasn't left yet, but the plan can't be delayed any longer, otherwise she will stay in the terrifying supernatural place of the Peace Hotel. It’s hard to even have the chance to implement the plan. It’s just that this time there are more things to prepare. After all, this recovery is too scary.”

In Mingyue Community, Meng Xiaodong had walked back to Building 3 and reached the third floor step by step.

It was pitch black everywhere and he couldn't see anything at all, but Meng Xiaodong seemed to be able to see in this darkness and went straight to the door of a room.

There is a blackened number plate hanging on the door. The writing on it can no longer be read clearly, but through the outline of the debate, you can still know that this is Room 301.

Meng Xiaodong stretched out his hand. This hand was very withered, exactly like the hand of an old man who had lost most of his life and was slowly heading towards death. It even had strong age spots on it.

But in this hand, there is a strange vitality.

Without hesitation, Meng Xiaodong pushed gently with his hand, and the obviously locked door opened with a bang. A long-lasting coolness rushed from inside, and at the same time, dim and yellow lights came on from Room 301. rises and illuminates the outside of the door.

Are there lights inside?
This is absolutely impossible, because Li Leping has already cut off all water and electricity supply in Menggui District. This is just an old city that is being demolished, and all the residents have already moved away.

"It's been a long time since I left."

Meng Xiaodong sighed in a low voice, and walked straight in without being surprised by the light.

The furnishings inside are very old and have a sense of being divorced from modernity. Most of the furniture is made of wood, painted with red paint and mottled and peeling off. The walls and floors are covered with old-fashioned patterned ceramic tiles, which has a style from the Republic of China period. .

There are also many posters on the walls, with thumbtacks on the four corners, completely in the style of the 1980s.

The thick smoke that enveloped the entire community blackened the entire community, even the rooms.

Only this room does not have this phenomenon. Not only is the light on, it also maintains a very clean and tidy appearance.

What can resist supernatural power must also be supernatural power.

"You haven't finished that step yet?"

Meng Xiaodong glanced in the direction of the bedroom, then walked to the wooden table in the center of the room and placed the vegetable basket in the corner of the wooden table.

As soon as the vegetable basket was taken off the hand, the floral cloth covering it suddenly moved, revealing a baby-like shape.

Meng Xiaodong took a look and took off the floral cloth.

The baby doll below was exposed. It was lying naked in the basket, with its eyes closed, and seemed to be sleeping.

However, it has green and purple patches on its body, which is a bit like the ghost baby incident that happened in Dachang City. However, this doll baby feels weirder than the ghost baby we encountered originally. It looks like it is sleeping, but it seems It's like opening your eyes to wake up at any time.

"It just so happens that I haven't been back for a while, so I can use some repairs."

Meng Xiaodong grabbed the baby doll, and the baby doll twisted strangely as if it was stimulated, trying to break free from Meng Xiaodong's hand.

"Don't move."

Meng Xiaodong raised his hand and patted the doll baby's head gently, and the doll baby lost all its strength and sank down.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the wall next to her, where an oil painting hung.

The person in the oil painting is a handsome man from the Republic of China period. He is wearing a uniform and looks like a young warlord or an aristocratic son. He is very elegant.

A flash of complicated emotions flashed through Meng Xiaodong's cloudy eyes, and then he looked away.

There were two rooms inside. Meng Xiaodong opened the door on the right and walked in. The old wooden door made a creaking sound. The same yellowing and dim lights were emitted in the room. It seemed that the lights here had always been there and were not going to be extinguished. look.

There was a workbench in the room with many broken pieces of cloth, some weird hair, some old needlework, and an unfinished rag doll.

The appearance of this rag doll is very similar to the scapegoat doll sold on consignment at the checkout counter of the Peace Hotel - the weird wiring and unreasonable appearance are all in this style.

Meng Xiaodong glanced at the side of the workbench, which was empty.

"Have you gone to the bedroom? That's fine, so as not to disturb my work."

Meng Xiaodong sat in front of the workbench, put the baby doll on it, selected some cloth and hair, picked up the needle and thread, and began to sew and mend.

Every piece of cloth is embedded and every strand of hair is sewn in, making the baby doll's cold aura stronger.

As time passed, the closed eyelids of the doll baby gradually began to tremble, as if they were about to wake up.

Snapped!
Meng Xiaodong slapped it down again, and the cold breath was blown away... No, it should have been slapped into the doll baby, and the doll baby fell silent again.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Xiaodong's movements slowed down.

Until finally, she stopped her movements completely, lifted up the baby doll and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Look, my craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated, right?"

As she spoke, she slowly turned around.

A tall figure stood behind her at some point. She had a slim figure, highlighted by a bright cheongsam, showing off her perfect body curves.

Her skin was fair and seemed to have no color at all.

She has a delicate appearance, but there is no color in her pupils. Rather than saying that she is a living person, she is more like a puppet like a living person.

It was none other than Liu Qingqing, who had been missing for a long time!
Seeing her like this, Meng Xiaodong frowned, "It's still a little bit worse... Is it the supernatural influence of the store manager? It can anchor consciousness. It seems that you are going to be in trouble this time. But reincarnation is taboo. This calamity is also your destiny, now it depends on your fate."

Meng Xiaodong walked back to the living room, put the baby doll back in the vegetable basket, then returned to the room, picked up the unfinished scapegoat doll and continued working.

Liu Qingqing followed her throughout the whole process.

The high heels stepped on the wooden floor, but they didn't make the slightest sound. There was a strange feeling of drifting away.

After the replacement doll was completed, Meng Xiaodong put it away with satisfaction, "Although the store manager can't always sell it, just think of it as the room fee."

Then she glanced at Liu Qingqing behind her, got up and walked to the wall next to her.

There is a altar here, but it is empty, nothing is worshiped inside, and there are no statues nearby. There is only a single incense candle placed there, with three pillars of unlit incense inserted inside.

Meng Xiaodong took out a stick of incense and took out a box of old-fashioned matches from under the altar. After lighting the match, he lit the incense.
