I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 308: Sending a ghost to the door missionary, the possibility of replacing the "store manager"
Lin Yuan’s attitude towards animals, or ghosts, has always been to collect them and bring them to the Caesar Hotel to raise them.

Just like before, he just took out the tranquilizer bullet and stuffed it into the Black Star.

But now, he took out all the anesthetic bullets in the Black Star, and then took out a new magazine full of live bullets.

Compared with anesthetic bullets, live ammunition is much more expensive.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan didn’t care about the price. “Once you’ve eaten them once, it’s impossible to tame them again. In that case, let’s kill them all. They’re just a bunch of wild beasts. Even if they have intelligence, they’re still wild beasts. Damn it.”

"Wang!"

As if sensing Lin Yuan's emotions, Lao Hua became even more irritable. After searching several rooms and not seeing any people or evil spirits, he rushed to the second floor.

Lin Yuan followed behind with an expressionless face and went upstairs together.

The stairs leading to the second floor were a bit narrow and could be seen clearly at a glance, so there was no need to worry about any danger. After going upstairs, Lao Hua shouted again and rushed directly to a room inside.

This is a half-open sliding door.

Lao Hua stood at the door and looked at Lin Yuan. Seeing Lin Yuan following him, he rushed in.

With its calf-like body, it smashed the sliding door into pieces, just like it was a piece of tofu. Lin Yuan glanced at the broken pieces on the ground and said, "This is really a shoddy construction. No wonder a wild animal could easily break into the house."

Then he walked in.

This should be the master bedroom of this family. It is quite spacious and tidy inside, without any signs of disorder or damage. It seems that the owner had deliberately cleaned it up before leaving. However, the stench lingering in this room is even stronger.

It seems that this is the source. All the smells in this house are wafting from here.

"There's something wrong with this room, and it's a big problem."

There wasn't much space to hide things in the room, except for a closet. Lin Yuan gestured, "Go open it and see what's inside."

"Wang!"

Lao Hua understood Lin Yuan's command, but his method of opening the closet was very direct. He didn't use his paws to push it, but just bumped into it.

boom!
The closet door was harder than the room door and it didn't open in one go, not even a crack appeared.

Lao Hua seemed angry and rushed forward again. This time, from an angle that Lin Yuan could not see, a blue-gray haze surged out from above Lao Hua's head.

This is the ghost realm for starving ghosts.

Compared with what it was like in Dachang City more than a month ago, the color of this ghost area is darker. It no longer looks like simple fog, but instead has a tendency to condense into liquid.

It looked like a dog banging against the closet door, but in reality it was a confrontation between the supernatural and now a direct invasion of the ghost realm.

This time there was no surprise at all. After being invaded by the starving ghosts, the closet door did not make any noise and turned directly into a pile of powder.

Lin Yuan's eyes twitched as he watched, "Lao Hua is not just using brute force. Could it be that he has learned the art of bone dissolving...head? Otherwise, how could there be such an effect?"

But then he had no time to sigh.

The moment the closet door broke, the body of an adult male fell out. It was rotten and smelly, and had obviously been rotating for many days, and even its appearance was unrecognizable.

But the strange thing is that it was not wearing any clothes and its entire body was stripped clean.

It wasn't just one corpse. The entire closet was filled with many corpses. They could be roughly identified by their limbs and exposed heads. There were at least six or seven of them, both men and women, and in varying degrees of decay.

The latest corpse seemed to have died yesterday, and its skin color still had a healthy complexion.

The corpses were like building blocks, twisted and squeezed, filling up the originally small closet without leaving any gaps.

Moreover, all the corpses were like the male corpse that had just fallen, with no clothes on, and no clothes of the victims could be found in the entire room.

"So many... skinless rats? They're so big, almost as big as cats? Are these the... beasts that invaded this city?"

Lin Yuan's voice trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of disgust.

As he finished speaking, the corpses began to change. As they continued to shrink, their bones and body shapes also began to change.

Soon, they all turned into cat-sized mice.

The difference is that their skins were peeled off, no blood flowed out, only bright red muscles were exposed in the air.

Their eyes were all closed, but at a certain moment, they all opened their eyes, scarlet, strange, and bloodthirsty.

The strange eyes stared straight at Lin Yuan, as if they were looking at a ball of food.

Lin Yuan's face changed slightly, and he retreated out the door with his gun in hand, shouting, "Old Hua, get out first and finish them off in the corridor!"

Lao Hua tilted his head and glanced at Lin Yuan.

Those eyes were clearly devoid of any emotion, but they seemed to reveal a human-like puzzlement, as if saying: They are just a bunch of little trash, why do they need to choose a battlefield?
However, since Lin Yuan had spoken, it had no choice but to do as he said and ran out the door. But it was very relaxed and comfortable, not at all as panicked as Lin Yuan.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak squeak!"

The original corpses seemed to have really turned into rats, and even the sounds they made were exactly the same as rats. They seemed to be awakened and chased towards the door.

boom!
With a gunshot, the bullet hit the most prominent skinless mouse. Although it was only a small-caliber gun, it still shot the mouse flying and hit it directly against the wall, and then there was no sound.

"It's okay, mice are just mice after all. I have plenty of bullets, so come on. Lao Hua, you stay in front of me."

Facing the swarm of rats rushing towards him, Lin Yuan seemed to be possessed by a sharpshooter. He shot them one by one, and every shot hit their heads. In a short while, the corridor was filled with the corpses of rats.

"Wang!"

Lao Hua squatted in front of Lin Yuan, looking at the battlefield with a strange look.

"Damn, that's disgusting."

After shooting, Lin Yuan glanced at the battlefield. The horrific scene and the stench of decay almost made him vomit.

"Let's go, Lao Hua... eh?"

Lin Yuan asked Lao Hua to leave, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. He looked down and his face turned green.

At some point, a big rat appeared at his feet.

This big rat was different from the previous ones. It was even bigger in size, but it had skin on its body, and its bloody red muscles were not exposed.

But it has not just one layer of skin, but many layers.

Layer upon layer of skin was wrapped around its body in a messy manner, making its already huge body even bigger.

These skins were obviously pulled from the mice before.

And now, the rat was opening its sharp claws and pulling Lin Yuan's trouser leg.

"Go away!"

Lin Yuan kicked the big rat and it rolled on the ground. It might be because it had too much skin on its body, so its defense was much higher.

After rolling on the ground for a few times and dropping a few rat skins, he rushed forward again.

It was so fast that Lin Yuan didn't have time to aim and could only shout, "Old Flower!"

"Wang!"

Lao Hua seemed to dislike the mouse. Instead of rushing over to bite it, he just shouted.

The big rat seemed to be attacked by sonic waves. It just stood there in a daze, and then turned its head to look behind it strangely.

During this action, the rat's skin fell off piece by piece, and soon its original body was exposed.

And on its body, there is actually a suit!
That’s right, it’s a suit, as if it was tailor-made for this big rat.

Click!

The big rat fell to the ground limply. This scene stunned Lin Yuan. "No way, such a vicious rat twisted its head and broke its neck? Died so hastily? Forget it, this rat must be weird. Maybe it is one of the monsters that caused this tragedy. It is a good thing for it to die."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly and continued walking downstairs.

Lao Hua glanced at Lin Yuan. Not hearing Lin Yuan's call, it did not follow immediately. Instead, it came to the big rat, opened its big mouth with bared teeth, and bit it.

As if they were out of Lin Yuan's sight, these mice began to change.

The skinless rat turned back into a corpse without clothes, and the big rat in a suit turned into a corpse in a black suit.

The suit was dirty and smelly. If Lin Yuan had seen anyone from the Exorcism Society, he would have discovered that the suit was exactly the same style as those worn by the Exorcism Society.

"old flower?"

"Wang!"

Laohua opened his mouth wide and swallowed the corpse along with the black suit. Then his stomach swelled up slightly, as if he was pregnant with a litter of puppies.

The big belly did not affect its movements. It was still very agile and went downstairs quickly in two steps.

At the same time, the missionary was walking towards Lin Yuan with a gloomy face. It was visible to the naked eye that the old pages in his hand seemed to be much thinner, and his posture also looked a little embarrassed, with a hint of shock and anger in his eyes, as if he was frightened by something.

Not long after, he stopped on the roof of a building and picked up his cell phone.

There is still a surveillance screen above. Although it is blocked by white fog, you can still see the general idea.

In the picture, it was Lin Yuan and Lao Hua who walked out of the house on the first floor.

"The security guard in that ghost taxi was so scary. He took away half of the ghosts I had saved with great difficulty. What the hell was that thing?"

Thinking about what had just happened, the missionary felt an urge to die.

The book in his hand was the one he had spent a long time collecting. It could not only replace his injuries and seal his damaged body parts, but it could also seal evil spirits and release them to attack the enemy at the appropriate time.

The only flaw is that the activation after sealing is one-time and comes at the cost of destroying the pages of the book.

If you want to use them as corpses again, you need to imprison them in the book again before you can use them again.

For this reason, missionaries would usually only release one ghost, or two or three at most.

The ghosts he imprisoned in the book were all very terrifying. Normally, only two or three of them were enough to take care of the opponent.

If there is no solution, it means that this method is basically ineffective.

There is also the most extreme and terrifying method. He will release all the evil spirits in the book. After the ghosts successfully attack and kill the target, they will turn around and attack him.

Even he could hardly bear this level, so he would only use it when he was desperate.

According to his previous idea, he would defeat or imprison the two men and two ghosts coming from the East this time, and use them as resources and foundation for his book.

But I never thought that I made the wrong choice right from the beginning.

Every time he releases a ghost, the security guard will suppress it.

If he releases two ghosts, the security guard will suppress them.

That ghost security guard is simply the epitome of being unsolvable. Any type of evil spirit in front of it is like a little lamb, without any ability to resist.

Even he didn't notice.

In the white fog ghost realm, he has gradually lost his previous calm judgment. Otherwise, he would not have released the evil ghosts in the book one after another when he knew that the ghost security guard was extremely terrifying and without figuring out the other party's killing patterns and supernatural abilities.

Fortunately, he held back at the last moment, gave up attacking the ghost security guard, and turned to look for Lin Yuan and the hungry ghost.

Looking at the man and the dog in the video, the missionary's face was grim. "That dog is a little scary, but as long as we stay away from it and don't let it find us, the attack will not happen. I want to see if the leader is really an ordinary person or just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger! I don't believe my luck is that bad!"

He tore off several pages from the old book, and they fell from the sky.

The paper disappeared, and terrifying evil spirits poured out from inside, heading towards Lin Yuan and the starving ghosts according to the missionary's original will.

In the east of Kobe, Guo Fan drove the ghost taxi with a happy face and stopped only when he was about to reach the suburbs.

Looking around, he didn't find anything unusual, which made Guo Fan feel a little regretful. "Brother Fan, why don't ghosts come to attack us again? You haven't even eaten enough."

As he said this, he took a special look at the ghost security guard's belly.

When a starving ghost eats ghosts, its stomach will swell up for a while. Only when the ghosts it eats are digested and completely become part of the starving ghost, will its stomach become flat.

Unlike the ghost catcher, his body size does not change no matter how many ghosts he suppresses.

The ghost security guard looked over at this time, his eyes were numb and empty. As a ghost, his eyes did not have any emotions.

But Guo Fan actually felt a hint of dissatisfaction and anger from it.

Is it an illusion?

Joking aside, Guo Fanke never thought that he would get any response from the ghost security guard. If he really did, it would be creepy.

Do ghosts have emotions?

If it was before entering the Peace Hotel, his answer would be absolute and affirmative:

No!

But now, he is no longer sure, because the white fog ghost area of ​​the Peace Hotel can stir people's emotions and make ghosts personified.

Even if that kind of emotion is just the anthropomorphic effect of the white fog ghost realm, who would dare to bet on it?
"We have a car, so let's search the entire city as quickly as possible and meet up with the boss as soon as possible. Someone is secretly causing trouble, and I hope he won't be stupid enough to go directly to the boss for trouble. At least he should leave some time for me to improve my favorability in front of the boss."

Guo Fan got out of the car and looked at the houses on both sides.

Kobe is considered a big city in the island country, but the buildings here are mostly short. Most of the buildings are two or three stories high, and buildings over ten stories high are rare.

On the windowsills and windows of these floors, one can see more or less numb figures, or corpses.

"That's a ghost slave created by Lao Hei's spirit... How can we find Lao Hei?"

Guo Fan looked melancholy. In such a big city, how long would it take to find the place if he drove around looking for it?
However, due to the limitations of the ordinary person's worldview of the "store manager", the starving ghost Lao Hua and the ghost catcher Lao Fan did not use the ghost domain, otherwise there would not be so much trouble.

Just as I was thinking about it, the satellite positioning phone rang. It was a call from headquarters.

"Guo Fan, what is your situation in the island country?"

In the conference room of the Dajing City headquarters, Cao Yanhua was staring at the big screen intently, but unfortunately the situation in the island country was still not clear enough.

It was only through the ghost domain of the "store manager" that they confirmed that they had arrived in Kobe City.

Guo Fan quickly explained the situation, "There are not only knocking ghosts here, but also many unknown ghosts."

As he spoke, he glanced at the ghost catcher Lao Fan beside him, "The ghost catcher now has thirteen more ghosts to suppress, so there should be more than fifty ghosts to suppress, which makes it even more terrifying. If there are more ghosts here, I'm afraid the ghost catcher will become even more unstoppable. It's a pity for the starving ghost, which can also devour evil ghosts to enhance its spiritual power, but because it has to stay with the boss, it has no chance to come out to hunt."

"Hunting? That's a very appropriate word. But that's not what we need to focus on now. You must ensure that the store manager has control over the ghost catcher. Otherwise, if it escapes, the whole world will be doomed." Cao Yanhua looked solemn.

It's not just him, it's the same with everyone else at the scene.

Cao Yang, Li Jun, Wei Jing, Lu Zhiwen...

There was also Mr. Qin, who seldom appeared in public. He sat in the conference room at this rare occasion. He stared at the big screen with his cloudy eyes and an extremely complicated expression.

A powerful ghost that can suppress more than fifty ghosts without any solution?

You know, among the captains of the headquarters sitting on the scene, if you count the quotas, the one with the most is Wei Jing, who has stolen supernatural powers from the ghost messenger, with nine suppression quotas.

other people?
The strength of Cao Yang, Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen are all quite good. Their combination in controlling evil spirits is also reasonable, and the combat power they can exert is also terrifying.

But what if I really go up against the ghost?
I'm afraid that there will not even be a chance to resist. As long as you appear in the ghost domain of the ghost catcher, you will be targeted instantly.

A truly grown up ghost is so terrifying and so desperate.

Can such an evil ghost really exist in this world? And how can such a terrifying evil ghost be completely suppressed by another existence, without any possibility of resistance?
Just thinking about it makes people despair.

Guo Fan was also quite desperate. Hearing Cao Yanhua's order, he almost drove the ghost taxi directly into the wall. "Minister Cao, are you serious? I'm just a driver now, and I'm an intern at that. I haven't even secured the position of a formal employee. You want me to ensure the boss's control over the ghost messenger? Do you think I can do it? If I can do it, I can also..."

How can I still bear your wrath?!
Cao Yanhua's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little embarrassed. He knew that he had issued an order that was impossible to complete, but since the words had been spoken, there was no way to take them back.

After all, the Peace Hotel is not in much danger.

"As long as it's within the rules of the real store manager, there shouldn't be much of a problem in giving the store manager some simple guidance."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming lay on the conference table in a very ungraceful manner, with the coffin lid on his back that was taller than him. Only in this way could he relieve some of the pressure on his body.

He nodded towards Cao Yanhua, because this was also something he had analyzed recently and reported to the headquarters.

Cao Yanhua chose to believe Wang Xiaoming, or rather, he had to believe him, otherwise the headquarters would lose all control when facing the store manager.

"Tong Qian will help you."

"Come on, even though Tong Qian was one of the first four people to arrive at the store and is now a formal employee, she is not well-liked. She can just take care of herself, why would she help me? If she really wants to help me, she should stay away from me. After all, I am not well-liked by Liu Qingqing now, so let her help me attract some firepower and don't let Liu Qingqing focus on me, otherwise I may be kicked out of the Peace Hotel in a minute."

Anyway, there was no recording equipment in the car, and the ghost catcher was just a ghost, so it was impossible for him to tell tales, so Guo Fan naturally acted recklessly.

So what if the store manager is really watching?
As long as the "store manager" doesn't know about the intrigues among these employees, everything will be fine.

Perhaps for the real store manager, such a wonderful plot would be more likely to be favored?

Yup!

Guo Fan's eyes lit up. "It doesn't matter who you lick. Licking the store manager is just superficial. Licking the real store manager will bring the greatest rewards! Maybe I can also have a chance to sit on the store manager's throne?"

It’s not that Guo Fan is fanciful, but the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this possibility is very high.

According to Wang Xiaoming's analysis, the real store manager is the director + screenwriter + audience + film critic, and the Peace Hotel is the small theater chosen by Him, where the entire "movie" was filmed and released.

The "store manager" exists as a guiding NPC. His purpose is to make the new "actors" entering the Peace Hotel familiar with the rules of the Peace Hotel, and participate in the performances of the Peace Hotel, presenting him with wonderful performances and pleasing him!
The "Store Manager" is based on Him, but has removed the parts related to the supernatural. To say he is important is of course very important, but to say he is unimportant... he is also not irreplaceable.

If there is an "actor" who can take on the responsibility of guiding newcomers and keep the Peace Hotel running, and most importantly, can give Him wonderful performances, then why can't he replace the "store manager" and become the new store manager?

Even if it is just an NPC who is pushed to the front, isn’t he a hundred, a thousand, or even a million times stronger than he is now?
