I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 310: The stingy one is never the "store manager", Lao Hei returns
Lin Yuan had just run two streets and was three blocks away from the building where the missionary disappeared when he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.

There was the roar of cars.

Soon, the ghost taxi appeared in Lin Yuan's sight. Did they find the knocking ghost, Lao Hei?
Before Lin Yuan could be surprised, his face suddenly turned dark.

There was a lot of smoke and dust behind the Ghost Taxi, and there were dense footsteps, just like a tide of beasts, chasing the Ghost Taxi.

It was quite far away, so Lin Yuan picked up the Barrett and used the sniper scope on it to see clearly what was in the smoke.

It turned out to be a group of mice the size of cats.

They are just mutated ones. The teeth exposed in their pointed mouths are extremely ferocious, and it is obvious at first glance that they are not easy to deal with.

Above their heads, the dust created by the footsteps lingered for a long time and almost formed a thick cloud of smoke.

Wherever the smoke passed, the buildings on both sides seemed to have fallen into disrepair. They became mottled and the walls fell off in the smoke.

"What did Guo Fan do? Why are there so many rats coming here? I only have a sniper rifle! (Black Star: I don't deserve to be owned by you~)"

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Lin Yuan did not dare to confront it head-on and simply hid in a small building nearby.

In the ghost taxi, Guo Fan's face was grim. On the old center console was his mobile phone, which was playing a series of strange knocking sounds:

boom!
boom!boom!
The rhythmic knocking sound is the medium for the knocking ghost to kill people.

Obviously, Guo Fan, who had previously vowed not to use this audio clip, couldn't help himself and used it in the end.

Then?

Then the knocking ghost really came, but there were countless ghost slaves beside the knocking ghost.

And every time he drove his ghost taxi through a street, the ghost slaves on that street would join the large group chasing him.

Now, he almost ran across half the city to get here.

In other words, the ghost slaves chasing after him make up half of the residents of Kobe, and the permanent population of Kobe is 1.5 million. How many is that half?

Six hundred thousand?
Half a million?
Or four hundred thousand?
Even if there are only 100,000 or even 10,000 of them, it is enough to make most ghost riders unable to cope and resist.

In particular, the ghost catcher was unwilling to attack them, and these ghost slaves did not attack the ghost catcher either, and they all ran towards Guo Fan.

This has led to the current situation.

There was no ghost security guard Lao Fan in the car. When Guo Fan was escaping, the ghost security guard was standing in the middle of the road without making any movement.

Faced with so many ghost slaves, and even knocking ghosts hidden among the ghost slaves, is it really possible not to run away?

Ha ha!

Guo Fan didn't dare to bet whether the knocking ghost would attack him. He now had only one thought, which was to find the "store manager" Lin Yuan.

Only the "store manager" Lin Yuan can turn the Knocking Ghost back into the watchdog Lao Hei and save him.

However, when he saw the "store manager" Lin Yuan, before he could even feel happy, he saw the "store manager" hiding in the building next door.

Guo Fan's heart immediately turned cold. "Could it be that even the store manager can't handle the knocker now? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Guo Fan immediately drove the Ghost Taxi over there.

With his arrival, all the ghost slaves on the street focused their attention on him. On both sides of the ghost taxi's path, ghost slaves one after another jumped down from the upstairs and smashed towards the ghost taxi like dumplings.

Some of them hit the roof of the ghost taxi, making a loud bang.

Some of them fell on the road in front of the ghost taxi, then climbed up and rushed towards the ghost taxi.

boom!
Guo Fan did not slow down at all, and even stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The ghost taxi directly knocked the ghost slaves away.

The ghost slave who was knocked away hid directly on the ground and hung on the electric pole, without any movement, as if he was truly dead.

The ghost taxi continued to move forward without slowing down at all.

Guo Fan didn't stop the car until he arrived at the building where Lin Yuan was hiding. He then opened the door and rushed into the building.

He didn't care at all whether he would be blocked here by ghost slaves.

This building is only three stories high and is an ordinary and old residential building. The ghost slave inside had already jumped down and was chasing up from below.

All the way up, the doors on both sides were closed.

Guo Fan gritted his teeth and ran upstairs. He finally found Lin Yuan when he reached the top floor. However, he did not dare to act rashly. He raised his hand directly, facing the cold muzzle of the gun pointed at his forehead, "Boss, be careful of accidental discharge!"

"Come in quickly and close and lock the door! Where did you attract so many ferocious rats, kid?" Lin Yuan put away the Barrett and said viciously.

mouse?

Guo Fan muttered to himself, but his men moved quickly and closed the door to the top floor quickly. While closing the door, he saw several mice the size of a tabby cat rushing towards him.

boom!
boom! boom! boom!
There were continuous banging sounds. Fortunately, Guo Fan closed the door quickly enough, and the iron door seemed to be quite sturdy, so there was no need to worry about it being knocked open for a while.

Guo Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his head to see Lin Yuan standing at the railing beside the building.

He also walked in and looked down. He was not frightened into having claustrophobia. Instead, he saw countless mice the size of cats blocking the entire street.

Looking up, the streets in all directions were blocked by rats, with not even a single gap to be seen.

There were still a lot of rats, and they actually started to build a rat ladder, and they were almost reaching the second floor.

Guo Fan: "..."

"I said, although those beasts are ferocious, they can't cause the fall of a city. It turns out that this is the crux of the problem. But such a big rat doesn't look normal no matter how I look at it. Could it be that there is some pollution on this island country?" Lin Yuan muttered to himself, but he held the Barrett tightly in his hand.

Guo Fan glanced at Barrett, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly spoke to help the "store manager" fill in the setting of the world view.

"This might be the reason why they discharged nuclear wastewater into the sea before," Guo Fan proposed.

Lin Yuan believed it. "So it was nuclear pollution. That makes sense. Otherwise, it would be impossible to raise so many mutant rats. Kobe is not near the sea, but it has become like this. Wouldn't other coastal cities be even worse? Wait! Old Flower!"

Lin Yuan's face changed and he quickly looked in the direction he came from, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the number of rats below was exaggerated and almost incalculable, they basically moved from the direction where Guo Fan came from and ended near the small building under their feet, and did not affect the street where Lao Hua was.

"Boss, what should we do now? If we stay here any longer, they will come up," Guo Fan said anxiously.

There are so many ghost slaves. Even if he releases the ghosts in the spirit tablet, will it be useless?
correct!

Guo Fan thought about it for a while, and then said: "I saw Lao Hei here. It seems that it is with these rats and can command them."

"Really? Yes, it seems that Lao Hei can really command mice. When we first met, he brought a bunch of mice to the store."

Lin Yuan recalled the scene when he first met Lao Hei, and suddenly realized, "Lao Hei, could it be a demon? Otherwise, how could it make these mice obey its orders?"

For the first time, Lin Yuan began to doubt Lao Hei's identity.

But now is not the time to discuss this matter. He lowered his head and looked for Lao Hei among the rats.

It’s a pity that I can’t see anything.

"You kid won't lie to me, will you?"

Facing Lin Yuan's doubt, Guo Fan quickly said: "Boss, you misunderstood. How could I dare to lie to you? By the way, I found Lao Hei through this thing. Maybe you can give it a try."

As he spoke, he took out the satellite positioning phone from his arms, found the audio of the knocking sound of the knocking ghost, and started playing it.

There was a strange and rhythmic knock on the door, but the next moment, it turned into a strange and rhythmic... dog barking.

Wang!
Wang!Wang!Wang!
Lin Yuan was delighted and laughed loudly, "It's Lao Hei's voice. I haven't heard Lao Hei's voice for a long time. It sounds really familiar!"

Guo Fan wanted to die, especially when he saw a rat about to climb to the top floor. "Boss, is this the time to talk about this?"

"Don't worry, Lao Hei should be here soon." Lin Yuan patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, looking calm.

Guo Fan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then he became excited and tried hard not to say what was in his mind:

Boss, are you finally going to show your true strength?

Lin Yuan turned around and looked at the group of rats that had piled up into a high slope below. He looked calm and not panicked at all.

It’s not that he’s not afraid.

Instead, he had made an agreement with Gold Finger that they could be sent back to the Peace Hotel for the price of one animal per person, and they wouldn't have to worry about dying.

If that’s the case, then what is there to be afraid of?

The only regret is that we were not able to catch that sneaky guy, nor were we able to find Lao Hei.

Be more careful next time and come again.

Just when Lin Yuan was about to use the golden finger, a dark vicious dog suddenly jumped out from the rat swarm under the opposite building.

It's like a fish jumping out of the water.

Its agile body landed on the top of the rat group, then it stepped on the slope created by the rats and rushed over quickly.

"Old black!"

Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Wang!"

Lao Hei jumped up and landed directly beside Lin Yuan. His raised head was almost reaching Lin Yuan's chest, appearing to be very strong.

And the moment it appeared, all the rats stopped moving and stood there in a daze.

Guo Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at Lao Hei, his eyes were full of fear.

When he looked at Lin Yuan again, he was filled with awe and admiration.

Lin Yuan didn't care about Xiao Guo's thoughts. He patted the knocker, Lao Hei's head, and laughed, "I was worried that you would suffer in the island country, but I didn't expect you to grow up so big. You are amazing! There are so many rats. Are they all controlled by you?"

"Woof!" The knocking ghost, Lao Hei, barked out as a response.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered, and he quickly started communicating with Golden Finger.

Although these mice are not as valuable as normal animals, they are still a huge fortune and must not be given up!
Looking at so many rats, it would be impossible to bring them back to the Peace Hotel.

If we go through the formal channels, it will be impossible for us to be allowed to pass through the country, and we can't even enter the airport. If we let the golden finger open the door, the cost will be too high.

It’s better to exchange it for money directly.

What was the price of mice in the beginning?

Lin Yuan can’t remember clearly, but it doesn’t matter. There are so many rats, almost too many to count. Even if he can exchange a thousand rats for three dollars, it will be a huge profit!

In comparison, the beasts whose value was greatly reduced after being sniped by Barrett are not so attractive.

However, Gold Finger's response made Lin Yuan so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Why? You said there are hundreds of thousands of mutant mice here, but you are only willing to give thirty yuan? The capitalists in the old society were not as evil as you. I advise you not to go too far!"

Gold Finger (Real Lin Yuan): "These mice are all mutated mice after nuclear radiation. Their meat is inedible and has little edible value. Thirty yuan is the limit. Take it or leave it!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
Lin Yuan finally understood the meaning of this sentence. Although he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he had no choice but to agree to the exchange conditions of the golden finger.

What else can I do? I can’t just give up, right?
"Monopoly is really not a good thing. It would be great if there was another golden finger to compete."

Having said that, Lin Yuan also knew that this was impossible, and Guo Fan was stunned by the scene before him.

The street was already filled with white fog, and the density of the fog suddenly increased by several levels, to the point where you could hardly see your hand in front of you.

Before he could panic, this state disappeared and returned to its previous state.

Also disappearing were the dense, almost endless swarms of mutant rats on the streets, as if everything they had just experienced was an illusion.

"Boss, this..."

Lin Yuan glanced downstairs and pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's going on? Where are those mutant rats? Why did they disappear? Did they go into the sewer?"

Guo Fan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say:
Boss, can you act a little more exaggerated?

But he didn't dare, especially now that the knocker, Lao Hei, was back, and his employee value in the Peace Hotel was reduced by one again.

"I think so. The boss is really smart." Guo Fan praised reluctantly, but the expression on his face was just right.

This is the experience he gained from flattering others.

However, while Lin Yuan nodded, he was muttering in his heart: "Xiao Guo's IQ is worrying. He believes such a flawed statement? Forget it, even if I keep him in the store in the future, I can't let him do any important work, otherwise the competitors will steal the business secrets. Will I be able to open this store?"

However, Lin Yuan still doesn't know where his competitors are.

"It just so happens that I spotted a weird guy before. Let's go over and see what's going on." Lin Yuan pointed to the avenue a few streets away.

Knocking Ghost·Old Flower: “Woof!”

Guo Fan: "I understand."

The two men and the dog headed in the direction Lin Yuan had gone before again. This time they encountered no accidents and arrived at their destination smoothly.

Lin Yuan took out the Black Star from his arms and handed it to Guo Fan. "You were a soldier before, you know how to use it, right?"

Actually.

It is definitely not allowed for ordinary people to possess firearms, but... after all, this is an island country.
Moreover, the Barrett on his body had been seen by Guo Fan. Lin Yuan planned to take this opportunity to test Guo Fan and see if this kid's sense of justice would explode and reveal the fact that he had a gun, or even tell the police officers.

If so, then this kid can't stay in the store and should go back to where he came from.

As for whether he will really be questioned?

He is holding a gun in an island country and is not in the country. The worst that can happen is that he can hire a lawyer!

If Guo Fan had not revealed the news, it means that although he has low IQ and weak ability, he is loyal. In addition, he is good at speaking nicely (flattering), so he can stay.

"meeting!"

Guo Fan took the Black Star excitedly. Due to the asymmetry of information, he never thought that the "store manager" was taking the opportunity to test him.

He was excited.

This Black Star is a genuine supernatural item, and it was previously mentioned in the headquarters' supernatural archives: the store manager's volume.

The data contains a 90% probability guess:

The guns used by the "store manager", especially the bullets, were definitely made by ghosts. They are a terrifying supernatural weapon.

The headquarters has been coveting this Black Star for a long time.

Wang Xiaoming, in particular, had long wanted to take the gun back for research to see if it could be mass-produced, so as to increase the power of the people in charge at the headquarters.

It’s a pity that no one dares to come up with this idea.

The main reason was that the "store manager" hid the Black Star too well, and no one had ever seen it except for a few people.

If anyone dared to take advantage of Black Star, they would most likely be misunderstood by the "store manager".

On the surface, the "store manager" is an ordinary boss who abides by the law and only wants to develop and expand the Peace Hotel.

But if Black Star’s affairs were exposed, would the “store manager” become someone who appears to be an ordinary restaurant owner but secretly is a gangster boss?

If this is really the case, then there will be great changes and dangers in the relationship with the "store manager".

Therefore, the headquarters has always adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the Black Star.

Even though Guo Fan had mastered the art of flattery to the extreme, he never thought he would have the opportunity to use it.

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it!

Sure enough, no one knows which will come first, the surprise or the accident, hehe!

but……

Glancing at the Barrett in Lin Yuan's hand, which was obviously more powerful and more terrifying, Guo Fan thought to himself: I haven't taken enough pictures, I have to keep working on it!

"Go away, stop grinning like an idiot."

Lin Yuan once again expressed his doubts about Guo Fan’s IQ, but even though his IQ was not high…it seemed like a good idea to keep him around.

This building is more than ten stories high, which is considered a tall building in this area.

It was not one of the three- or five-story residential buildings around it, but an office building. Although it was very old and seemed like no one had used it for a long time, the elevator seemed to be still usable.

"As expected of a nuclear power."

Lin Yuan sighed with an ambiguous meaning and pressed the button for the top floor, which was the 18th floor.

As the elevator went up floor by floor, when it was about to reach the 18th floor, Lin Yuan clenched the Barrett in his hand and reminded: "The guy hiding here may be the one who controls the beasts behind the scenes. He is a guy who has undergone biological transformation surgery and has super powers. His ability should be that of a tamer, but we can't be completely sure. Lao Hei, Xiao Hua, everyone, be careful. Especially you, Lao Hei, don't go up directly, lest he has the ability to target you, understand?"

"Wang!"

The knocker, Lao Hei, shrank his huge body back and squeezed into a meat patty in the narrow elevator.

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't scold him. He turned to Guo Fan and said, "The black star in your hand is loaded with tranquilizer bullets, a total of six. If you encounter a target, don't be soft-handed, just shoot, understand?"

"I understand, boss. My shooting skills are pretty good. I won't let that guy escape!" Guo Fan immediately expressed his opinion, and at the same time he was extremely alert.

Until he is 100% sure that he will stay at the Peace Hotel, he will do his best to follow any instructions from the "store manager"!

As for being targeted by the “store manager”?

It's just because of the "store manager's" ordinary person worldview and cognitive barriers. As long as the "store manager" is not invincible, there is no need to worry.

Ding!
The elevator reached the floor. Guo Fan clenched the Black Star with both hands and stared at the elevator door.

However, when the elevator door opened, there was no one outside except a dusty corridor and an open door leading to the top floor.

"Boss, I'll go take a look first."

Guo Fan clenched the Black Star tightly, ready to release the spirit ghost at any time, then walked out of the elevator and checked around.

He checked the floor, the corridor, and the attic carefully.

When he returned to the elevator, he only brought back an old tape recorder. "Boss, there is no one here, only this tape recorder."

Lin Yuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was natural. "It seems that the rats' loss of control scared him away. It's a pity that I couldn't keep him here."

Having said that, he touched his neck and felt his vocal cords were a little itchy.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the quiet building, which was played from this old tape recorder.

As the sound appeared, the lights in the elevator began to flicker, obviously affected by a supernatural force.

Lin Yuan looked back at the elevator in confusion.

As he looked, the lights in the elevator returned to normal, because in the ordinary people's worldview, no matter how old the tape recorder was, it would not affect the lights and electricity.

soon.

The rustling sound gradually became smaller, as if the signal was getting weaker and weaker. After only seven or eight seconds, all the sound in the recorder disappeared.

Lin Yuan suddenly yawned, "What's going on? Feeling a little sleepy?"

"Boss, there's something wrong with this recording!"

Guo Fan was shocked and angry. He already felt dizzy and sleepy, making his consciousness gradually blurry.

The Black Star that he had just raised to aim at the old-fashioned recording machine fell to the ground as he fell limply to the ground.
