I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 295: Rich Man, Thief, Zhou Deng, Yang Jian Lost Contact

At the Peace Hotel, Zhang Lei, Li Leping, Wei Jing and Cao Yang came downstairs one after another, but their faces were not very good-looking.

Tong Qian had been waiting for them. When she saw them coming downstairs, she went up to greet them, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

"No."

Cao Yang responded and suddenly looked at Tong Qian with a strange expression, which made Tong Qian a little confused, "What happened?"

"There are some things that need to be confirmed, but we have to wait until we get back. Did you have anything unusual last night?" Zhang Lei asked the doubts in his heart.

E-sports room·The third round of closed beta testing of virtual games·ZS City Caesar Hotel, everything inside is too real.

Even if there is a white fog ghost domain covering ZS City and no one is allowed to enter or exit, it cannot erase the terrifying reality.

Especially for Cao Yang, Zhang Lei, and Li Leping, these ghost controllers who have experienced the game twice, they have a more intuitive understanding through comparison.

The last round of the game was based on the starving ghost incident in Dachang City.

The last person who listened to the music, Jiang Shangbai, relied on the effect of piano music to protect his consciousness and forced Fang Shiming, who was still hiding in the safe house, to run away from home.

"it is good."

You know, Zhou Deng can only really control one ghost!

But this time, I couldn’t tell the difference at all!

[The sound of music can make people feel more energetic. As long as the music does not stop, you can always stay in high spirits. 】

Didn't you sleep last night?

It wasn't until Cao Yang and others left that he raised his head and said with a blank look on his face: "You walked so fast, I didn't even have time to say hello."

Of course, Wang Xiaoming can ignore it.

It was around nine o'clock in the morning, which was the best time of the day and the time when the mental state should be at its best, but the result was not good, all of them had dark circles under their eyes.

Tong Qian looked at Zhou Deng who was listening to the music and hesitated to speak.

Zhou Deng seemed a little too wealthy today.

Tong Qian pursed her lips and said, "Something happened last night, not just to me, but also to ZS City."

It was as if they had really traveled back three months. The terrifying and weird sense of reality made people very worried about what was happening in reality.

At the same time, Cao Yang and others also returned to the headquarters and came to the conference room.

what?
The eyes of Cao Yang and the others shrank suddenly, but Tong Qian continued: "This is not the place to talk. You can go back after eating. Minister Cao is also waiting for you."

Zhou Deng chuckled and said, "Don't bother me! I'm not just here to eat this time. So what, Miss Xianglan? Play a song for me, right?"

"Something interesting happened last night?"

Although the game at that time had been made very realistic, they could still detect a sense of disharmony at the time and could make a clear distinction from reality.

This kind of vague introduction, no matter how bold it is, it is impossible to be 100% sure that the sound of music can protect consciousness. If it is to be tested, the price of a ghost is a bit wasteful.

Weird and melodious music started playing. Zhou Deng squinted his eyes, shook his head and listened, seeming to enjoy the beauty of the music.

This is really not the place to talk.

What did the "store manager" say when introducing the piano music?

The news was not revealed after that. Until now, Jiang Shangbai has become a part of the ghost gang, and it is impossible to reveal the news again.

However, this kind of consumption is completely the biggest waste. With so many supernatural items, wouldn't it be nice to find a "store manager" to control a second or even a third ghost?

Xiao Xi took the bell and glanced at it, then went to the cashier and handed it to He Yuelian. Although she didn't speak, He Yuelian also understood what she meant:
This bell is a supernatural item.

Zhou Deng is better!

Xianglan was a little excited.

"Okay, then give each of us a dish, one ghost's share for each of us, and we'll leave after eating."

"Minister, Captain Zhao, Captain Shen, your faces don't look very good." Cao Yang looked stunned.

He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, and even Fang Shiming in the kitchen were looking at these people with strange eyes.

Cao Yang and others kept true to their word. After eating in a hurry, they said goodbye and left without staying for even a minute. At this time, there was still a customer in the store.

Tong Qian turned around and looked at the smiling Liu Qingqing. After a little hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes, something interesting did happen."

Because she was the lobby manager, the "store manager" Lin Yuan also gave her the ability to estimate items when she was out. So after confirming that the bell was worth a ghost, he nodded to Xianglan.

"Zhou Deng, if you have nothing to do, go back first. We still need you at the headquarters." Tong Qian began to drive people away.

Being able to sit in a shop and eat, instead of being deprived of the ghosts in his body and being kicked out as a guy eating a king's meal, also means that he has controlled at least two ghosts, or has other supernatural items.

The most important thing is that the Peace Hotel has lost its former normality at this time. Although the evil ghosts such as the Wish Lucky Cat, Piranha, and Wax Corpse have not returned to their original appearance, the weird feeling all proves one point. :
The "store manager" is no longer in the store.

She has been sitting here for so long, and the last time she was asked to sing a song was a month ago. She is worried that if she continues like this, she will be fired by the "store manager".

Without the "store manager" who has the world view of ordinary people, the safety of the Peace Hotel, which was originally absolutely safe, will be greatly reduced, and no one will gamble.

As he spoke, he took out a bell from his arms and handed it to Xiao Xi who was standing by.

First I ordered the three ghost dishes, and now I ordered a piano song. I can only say that the thief really has "money". I don't know where this kid has been during this time, and he has come back with so many supernatural items.

The effect of Pandan's piano music is still a secret.

This Professor Wang is now guilty. He has been held accountable by the senior management for initiating the plan to imprison the "store manager" without authorization. It is also because of his ability that he is allowed to continue working.

And he is carrying the coffin lid on his back all the time, just like the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang made prisoners work in shackles.

This was a punishment from the real store manager. Although he was sweating all the time and was very exhausted, because of the supernatural power of the real store manager, he would not die yet, so there was no need to worry too much.

After all, because of this incident, the captains at the headquarters were somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Xiaoming, and they even reached a consensus: Wang Xiaoming is very dangerous!
"Something happened last night. I have a question for you." Cao Yanhua said and looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming wiped the sweat from his forehead, but to no avail. The coffin lid on his back pressed him very hard, and his body was weak, making him sweat non-stop. "The background of the virtual game you played last night was In ZS City?”

Zhang Lei said in surprise: "Professor Wang, how do you know?"

"It seems that our guess is right. His relief can indeed reach into reality, and he can even transform a city in reality as his game venue."

Although they had already made this guess, hearing the definite answer now still made Cao Yanhua and others take a breath.

At this time, Lu Zhiwen was also explaining to Cao Yang and others what happened last night.

For example, the white mist ghost domain that shrouded the entire ZS City last night, blocking everyone from entering.

For example, Tong Qian's home was blocked by the White Mist Ghost Domain.

For example, the "store manager" who was called through the takeout service in the middle of the night, and the robot next to him that looked exactly like Liu Qingqing.

"I did see Liu Qingqing at the entrance of the Caesar Hotel. Her strength is terrifying. She can dismember ghosts with her bare hands and use ghosts as materials to make puppets. The most terrifying thing is that she can also adjust the moon of the puppets. , allowing the puppets to become other ghost masters and have similar abilities.”

Wei Jing couldn't tell the difference between Liu Qingqing and Zhang Youhong, or in other words, he didn't know the existence of Zhang Youhong at all, so he recognized the puppet Zhang Youhong as Liu Qingqing.

Cao Yang was surprised: "Is Liu Qingqing already so scary?"

"Her growth obviously has traces left over from history. Perhaps she inherited the legacy of a certain ghost controller during the Republic of China, which is why she has the ability she has today. But this is not the most important thing. The store manager's supernatural powers are enough to change reality, and even Turning a real city into a game ground, this kind of method and strength is really terrifying and dangerous," Wei Jing said in a deep voice.

Yes!

The current virtual game in the e-sports room is still in the closed beta stage. In other words, the current virtual game is not yet mature, and a ZS city can already be used as a game venue.

If virtual games mature, will they encompass the entire world?

"In other words, has ZS City been destroyed now?" Li Leping suddenly asked a question.

Lu Zhiwen shook his head, "We had such worries before, but when the white fog dissipated, everything in ZS City returned to normal, as if nothing happened."

"It should be through restarting that we can achieve this effect." Zhang Lei said.

With the growth of strength, it is no longer a secret to restart this bug-level ability, and quite a few captain-level characters can do it, or have similar means.

"It is indeed a restart, and the store manager has been restarting for at least four hours." Lu Zhiwen pointed out one point.

Four, four hours of restart?

All the captains and reserve captains present fell silent.

Precisely because they knew the horror of a restart, they were more aware of how terrifying it was to restart a city that spanned four hours and covered at least a city.

Is this really something that humans, or should I say, ghosts can do?
So, is He really... God?
"Don't worry too much. To be able to do this, a store manager also needs a media, such as the Caesar Hotel. Otherwise, the last round of virtual games with the theme of the Dachang Starving Ghost Incident would not have appeared in reality. middle."

Wang Xiaoming gave a piece of comfort, which made everyone sigh in relief.

But, does anyone believe it?

Like the previous ones, this meeting did not come up with much effective discussion. The headquarters could not restrict the Peace Hotel and the store manager very much.

No, it should produce almost zero!
Even Mr. Qin, the headquarter's biggest secret, was very secretive about the Peace Hotel and the store manager, and was full of fear. Without its biggest trump card, what can the headquarters do except hold meaningless meetings again and again?

"It's better than doing nothing."

At some point, Cao Yanhua put on a pair of sunglasses to cover up the exaggerated dark circles under his eyes.

Staying up all night would be extremely harmful to a person of his age, both physically and mentally.

If he was given a bed, he could fall asleep in seconds, but he still managed not to rest. The reason was simple: the "store manager" was on tour!

The "store manager" has to go to the island country through Dachang International Airport.

When the "store manager" arrives in the island country, he will feel more at ease. If it doesn't work now, he must pay attention to it. If there is an accident, he can quickly command and avoid losses as much as possible.

In Dachang City, thick white fog seemed to rise out of thin air, shrouding the entire Dachang City in it.

"It's foggy again? The fog is a bit strange today. The visibility is too low. Can we not go to school?"

"Damn it! Where did the fog come from? I almost hit the pillar!"

"This fog came too quickly. The chemical plant leaked two months ago. Will it be the same thing this time? By the way, do we have so many large chemical plants in Dachang City?"

"Last time it was smog, blue and black. Now it's white. There shouldn't be any chemical plant leaks that are white, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. Isn't there white terror?"

"That's not smog."

Listening to the conversation of the pedestrians, A Hong couldn't help but say: "Their memory is really short. In the past two months or so, there are still a group of people in the city who have actually seen the Starving Ghost, but in the end they all attributed everything to the Starving Ghost." Chemical plant leaked.”

"It's the headquarters and local areas that have done a good job. This is pretty good. Ordinary people are too vulnerable to supernatural events. Rather than telling them the truth and letting them live in fear, it is better to let them continue to live ordinary lives. , dying carefree may also be a kind of happiness." Li Jun's voice was low.

Ah Hong pursed her lips, "Is this really the right thing to do?"

"It is said that everyone has the right to know the truth. We do not have the right to make decisions for them, but..."

Li Jun's mood seemed to be very complicated, but he did not continue, "Here he comes."

A Hong looked up and saw that the surrounding fog seemed to have become thinner. A pair of car lights shone through, and then there was the outline of a taxi.

The old taxi stopped next to Li Jun and A Hong. Lin Yuan stuck his head out of the car and said, "Lao Li, A Hong, you are here too."

Li Jun's stiff and ashen face softened a lot the moment the "store manager" appeared, "Yes, Boss Lin, aren't we here to send you a ticket, in case you can't board the plane later?"

"Haha! I forgot, thank you. Get in the car, I will take you wherever you go." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Li Jun and A Hong did not refuse. The former sat in the back seat and sat with Lin Yuan, while the latter sat in the passenger seat.

After getting on the bus, Li Jun handed Lin Yuan a set of things he had prepared long ago, "All the documents are here. Air tickets, passports, visas."

The documents are very complete.

Lin Yuan took it with great satisfaction, "Thank you."

There are people in the court who are really easy to get things done.

He was still worried that he had traveled through time and had no identity information, so he would not be able to go abroad and might have to pay some price.

But now it seems that it is not a bad thing for Li Jun and Cao Yang to join the headquarters.

Li Jun said: "Boss, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. Are you going to the airport immediately?"

Lin Yuan took a look at the ticket and said, "There is still a while, so wait for now. I have been asked to do something. Where are you going? I will see you off first."

As he spoke, he winked at Li Jun.

Of course, Ahong couldn't see the premise, and Li Jun was confused. He didn't know why Lin Yuan showed such an expression to him.

Looking at his confused expression, Lin Yuan said angrily: "You and A Hong came out together, weren't you going on a date?"

"Boss Lin, you misunderstood. Ahong and I are just ordinary colleagues." Li Jun couldn't laugh or cry. He finally knew what "store manager" meant, but this made him very helpless.

He and A Hong are just ordinary colleagues, and they haven't worked together for a long time.

Coupled with the current resurgence of evil spirits around the world, people will not even think about matters related to men and women. Only people like the "store manager" who looks at the world from the perspective of an ordinary person will have such thoughts.

For a moment, he actually envied the "store manager".

That's right, I envy the "store manager" who has the worldview of an ordinary person, rather than the real store manager who stands behind the scenes and acts like a god.

"Haha! Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood. I misunderstood."

Lin Yuan laughed, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't take it seriously, and he still had that idea.

In order to avoid embarrassment, especially to avoid A Hong's embarrassment, Li Jun quickly changed the subject and said: "Where are you going, Boss Lin? I'm quite familiar with Dachang City. If nothing else is possible, I can still help lead the way."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "That's okay. I was asked by Xiao Yang's father to bring a message this time. Xiao Yang is now the person in charge of Dachang City, and he happens to be in the same system as you."

Xiao Yang?

Yang Jian?

Yang Jian’s father?

Li Jun looked surprised, "Yang Xiao?"

The information on Zhang Xianguang and Yang Xiao was archived at the headquarters. As one of the main players in the attack on the Peace Hotel, Li Jun naturally memorized the information inside.

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, that's him. He has been working at the post office and has no time to go home. The post office has strict restrictions on them. They are probably afraid that asking for leave and going home will deduct their full attendance. Men are always strong. "

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

He remembered that before time travel, although his life at that time was ordinary, he lived near his hometown and did not have the trouble of returning home.

But when I was watching short videos at that time, I also knew that there were many people who went out to work. In order to save some travel expenses and make more money during the holidays, they rarely went home even during the New Year.

Most of the money earned from living frugally in other provinces will be sent home. I am clearly eating steamed buns in other places, but I tell my family that I am eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Combined with Yang Xiao's situation, Lin Yuan felt very uncomfortable.

"Last time Lao Yang and Lao Zhang came to ask about helping them terminate the Overlord contract. Was my fee too high? After all, I am a parent and there are difficulties at home. If he wants to ask next time, I will lower it... Three dollars, that’s a lot.”

In Lin Yuan's opinion, three dollars is indeed a lot, and there is no other meaning.

Li Jun looked extremely strange when he heard this, but he still said: "I heard that Yang Jian also works part-time as a messenger at the post office. He and Yang Xiao should be able to meet at the post office, right?"

"Is that so? There may be other reasons, otherwise Lao Yang wouldn't ask me to take the message." Lin Yuan suddenly came closer and asked mysteriously, "You police officers can also work part-time in other companies Position? Lao Li, tell me honestly, have you let go of the past? "

Li Jun: "..."

Got it!
In the past, the sale of rare wild animals was something that couldn’t be tolerated, right?
"Haha! Just a joke, just a joke! Take me to Xiao Yang's place. He didn't answer my call before."

Lin Yuan was helpless.

He felt that he got along quite well with Yang Jian, and they were friends with Yang Jian when he was a student. How come he didn't even answer the phone?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

"Boss Lin, it's not that I don't want to help. It's true that Yang Jian disappeared recently, and it lasted more than a day or two. We can't find where he went. We only know that he went to his hometown, and there has been no news since then. "

Li Jun had no choice but to reveal the truth.

Lin Yuan looked surprised, "He disappeared when he returned to his hometown? Have you ever gone to his hometown to look for him?"

"This one……"

Li Jun couldn't answer.

It is actually not uncommon for the person in charge to lose contact. Sometimes when dealing with a supernatural incident, contact may be lost for more than ten to twenty days, or even a month.

Although Yang Jian lost contact, the time was still relatively short.

Therefore, even if the headquarters knew about it, it did not immediately send anyone to rescue him. After all, without detailed information, he might be involved in unknown supernatural events, which might also disrupt Yang Jian's plan.

of course.

If the contact is lost for too long, the headquarters will naturally arrange for someone to investigate.

Yang Jian is now also a captain-level figure. A few days of missing contact are actually nothing. In addition, there is no supernatural file left. Who knows whether Yang Jian was involved in some supernatural incident or whether he is hiding his identity. Go do something else?
However, there is no way to explain this reason to the "store manager".

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said angrily: "Where is his hometown? Is it close to Dachang City? If it is close, then go and have a look first. I can give Lao Yang an explanation when I get back."

Li Jun said: "It's in a village in a small county near Dachang City. That village is called Meishan Village. It only takes a few dozen minutes to drive there."

"Okay, let's go to Meishan Village. Guo Fan, do you know the way?" Lin Yuan asked.

Driver Guo Fan immediately said: "Don't worry, boss, I will navigate there, there will be no problem."

Lin Yuan nodded, "Okay, call me when you get there later and I'll take a moment to squint."
