Chapter 313 The Promise of the "Store Manager", He Yuelian & Supernatural Light

"Brother Yuan, you..."

Liu Qingqing suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She had an inexplicable fondness for the "store manager", and she had never denied it, nor concealed it.

As long as she has the chance, she doesn't mind getting close to the "store manager".

But this was not the reason she came here tonight, but... since the "store manager" said so, she naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

She quickly adjusted her expression, her original worry and anxiety were gone, leaving only shyness and a hint of charm, "Brother Yuan, I just haven't seen you for two days, so I wanted to see you more."

Paired with her slim-fitting ghost cheongsam and high heels that make her look taller.

It’s true that although Liu Qingqing is not as beautiful as He Yuelian, she is definitely not inferior in terms of temptation.

Faced with such temptation, it would be a lie for Lin Yuan to say that he was not moved.

only……

Lin Yuan's eyes instantly cleared up, and he said righteously: "What will happen to the Xiongnu in the future... ahem, what I mean is that I haven't thought about that aspect yet, nor have I thought about finding a boss lady for everyone."

"It's okay, I can wait."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Liu Qingqing's eyes, and then she showed a bright smile, "Actually, I have something I want to tell you, Brother Yuan."

"Hey! So there's something going on. Tell me, what's it?"

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to let Liu Qingqing enter the house.

Liu Qingqing had come to his room more than once or twice, so she was not unfamiliar with the place.

After coming in, she first poured a glass of water for Lin Yuan and herself, and then said, "Brother Yuan, do you still remember my schizophrenia?"

"Of course I remember. I'm in the same situation. We share the same suffering." Lin Yuan was very serious.

Of course, he rarely appears in this state now.

If Liu Qingqing hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it...except when Xiao Fang brought the medicine.

"It's like this. Lately I've always felt like something was calling me to go somewhere. But I'm sure I've never been to that place. I'm worried that it's the split version of me that wants to go there."

After communicating with He Yiner before, she had already been preparing how to confess to Lin Yuan, and it would be best if Lin Yuan could go with her.

Only when the "store manager" is around can she feel absolutely at ease.

She thought of many excuses, but finally chose the most dangerous but also the simplest one.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Is it possible?"

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on either. And I'm worried that this idea is not just an idea. Maybe one day another me will come out and go directly to that place. I'm a little worried. Brother Yuan, can you spare some time to accompany me there to take a look?"

Liu Qingqing stated her purpose.

"Tell me the place first, and I'll have someone check it out. In fact, you don't have to worry. As long as you stay in the store, everyone will watch you and won't let another you escape." Lin Yuan made a promise.

Liu Qingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what promise the "store manager" makes, it will definitely be achieved, so it can be considered as indirectly achieving the goal.

As long as you don't go to that weird place, you'll be safe.

Another self...

In other words, no matter how terrifying the residual soul living in his body is, can it be more terrifying than the "store manager"?
After receiving the promise, Liu Qingqing immediately became happy, "Thank you, Brother Yuan. Then you can have a rest early. I will go back first."

"Okay, go ahead."

After seeing Liu Qingqing off, Lin Yuan still felt a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. After washing up, he went straight back to his room to rest.

as usual.

When the "store manager" falls asleep, the Peace Hotel will fall into silence, and the white fog ghost domain will completely occupy everything, except for the study room on the third floor that should not exist. This is obviously one of the birthplaces of the white fog ghost domain, but it is the only place that is not shrouded by the white fog ghost domain.

The intact Lin Yuan sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, but he was not resting. Instead, he was in a world of nightmares.

That's right.

During his trip to Kobe City on the island nation, he also captured the S-rank evil spirit Nightmare, and this kind of evil spirit with consciousness is what he values ​​the most now.

When he was in Yang Jian’s hometown, he had the opportunity to have a ghost dream, but he did not do it.

Because the ghost dream has already taken shape. It is the legacy that Yang Xiao prepared for Yang Jian, and it is the kind that is placed on a dog.

Although Lin Yuan is very envious of the supernatural powers of consciousness, he is not without them.

The diary in his hand possesses a terrifying consciousness, otherwise he would not be able to use supernatural powers after entering the dream.

Even let the white fog ghost domain invade.

However, this power cannot be used too much. The purpose of its existence is to protect Lin Yuan's consciousness from being eroded by the supernatural. If it is released, this study will no longer exist.

By then, he will return to his ignorant state again, and it is unknown when he will have the chance to wake up again.

The nightmare came at a very timely moment.

Although it is a Western castle and does not quite fit Lin Yuan's nationality, it is okay to use it temporarily. Moreover, as long as he is willing to spend time and energy, he can also change the shape of the nightmare to achieve his favorite state.

But, it doesn't make much sense.

After only staying in the nightmare for a short while, Lin Yuan left and threw the nightmare into the body of the "store manager".

"Consciousness-type supernatural beings are the least likely to be discovered and the least likely to attract attention. I don't have to worry about ruining his character, and it also makes it convenient for me to appear wherever he goes at any time. It's pretty good."

What was harvested this time was not only nightmares, but also the ghosts on Luo Sheng, and several foreigners including Liu.

Lin Yuan's horizons have been broadened now. He basically doesn't take anything too seriously unless it involves horror or supernatural events from the past, present, or future.

Even the unlimited devouring of starving ghosts and the limitless suppression of ghost messengers are meaningless to him. One works as a watchdog at the door, shouting welcome, while the other works as a security guard, working from 6 am to 6 pm every day.

After throwing it into the storage room, Lin Yuan closed his eyes, ending this busy day.

"Liu Qingqing... Zhang Dong? I don't know if he's dead or not, and whether there was a seventh day of mourning. If not, I'd really like to go and see the hundreds of ghosts paying their respects..."

The next morning.

After a whole night's rest, Lin Yuan regained his energy. Of course, he was able to get up at six o'clock in the morning thanks to Liu Qingqing who brought him breakfast.

"I didn't eat the meals you cooked the past two days. I'm not used to it."

Although they were just some ordinary side dishes, Lin Yuan still enjoyed the meal, which made Liu Qingqing very happy as well. "Brother Yuan, if you like it, I will cook it for you every day in the future."

"Haha! Okay."

Lin Yuan laughed, not knowing whether he understood the meaning of Liu Qingqing's words or not. "Let's go, it's time to go downstairs."

At this time, the Peace Hotel had already opened, and He Yuelian, He Yiner, Tong Qian, Xianglan, Guo Fan and others had also started their normal work.

Of course, the security guard, the ghost catcher, Lao Fan, and the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua, had already gone out with Li Qingzhi on time at six o'clock.

He took the thirty or so evil spirits in the utility room and rushed to the Caesar Hotel.

Now sitting at the door is the watchdog, the knocker, Lao Hei. After being brought back from the island country, it is obviously several sizes bigger than before. It looks majestic, heroic and intimidating.

He Yuelian was holding an account book and reporting the revenue of the past two days to Lin Yuan:
"Brother Yuan, twenty-seven customers came to our store two days ago. Sixteen of them wanted to dine for free, and we handled them according to the previous rules. The other eleven customers consumed twenty-eight animals, fifteen of which were for meals, one for music, two for making wishes, six for buying surrogate dolls, and four for buying ink."

"There are also seven animals that got off at the bus stop. Together with the two that Lao Hua brought back before you left, there are nine in total."

"That means the store has received a total of fifty-three animals in the past two days."

Lin Yuan nodded. "Okay, the store's profits were pretty good during the two days I was away, which is worthy of praise. But Da He, is there still no one going to the fish pond these two days?"

Actually, he was also trying to change the subject.

Business had picked up during the days when he was not on a business trip, but on average the daily profit did not reach more than twenty-six shares.

As a result, as soon as he left the store, the store's revenue suddenly increased?

There is a saying that is good:

Victory is not scary, but it will be embarrassing if someone is missing!
As the store manager, Lin Yuan is the embarrassed one now, but fortunately he is the store manager and no one noticed this. Even if they noticed, they would definitely not dare to laugh at him!
He Yiner said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan."

She didn't give any reasons, nor did she shirk responsibility frantically, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied. "It doesn't matter. I understand it now. The world is too chaotic. Even the island country has been ruined. A city has become an empty city. It's normal for everyone to be short of money now. Things will get better slowly in the future. You should focus on taking good care of the cuttlefish now. It's a chicken that can lay eggs. You must take good care of it, understand?"

"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I will take good care of it."

She knew this without Lin Yuan telling her.

What the "store manager" cares most about is the economic benefits and the store's income. In the past two days, the cuttlefish ink sold enough for four animals, or twenty cans.

With such sales volume, how could Lin Yuan not take it seriously?

of course.

The headquarters indeed has a lot of stock. It is so easy to buy ink, and then use the ink to suppress and imprison other evil spirits, forming a virtuous circle. It is scary to think about it.

"Brother Yuan, I want to take a leave today." After arranging everything, Lin Yuan asked everyone to do their own things and prepare to welcome today's guests, but He Yuelian directly asked for leave.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

He Yuelian said, "Well, didn't I have a tutor before? I've been busy in the store recently and haven't been to class for a long time. It's just that you're back, Brother Yuan, so I want to go and learn from you so that I can enrich my theoretical knowledge and do a good job as a lobby manager."

"You want to go study? No problem. I'll give you a day off today. By the way, what are you studying?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

He Yuelian's eyes rolled. "Business management and finance. The tutor I hired this time is also an expert in these fields. Plus my experience as a lobby manager in a store, it can be considered a combination of practice and theory."

"Tsk tsk! She is indeed the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She is also studying a course that requires resources, and she even hired a tutor..."

Lin Yuan felt emotional.

Before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person. He knew about the lives of those rich people through TV dramas, movies, or fantasy, and he felt a little envious... Bullshit!

Take a good look!

He Yuelian, the daughter of the owner of the largest casino in Tai O City, is the lobby manager of his store!

Fang Shiming, the overbearing head of the super consortium circle of friends in Dajing City with assets spread all over the country, is a small worker who butchers fish and washes meat in his shop!

He Yiner, the heir to an ancient town, is the manager of the fish pond in his store!
Liu Qingqing...

Tong Qian...

Forget it, let’s not mention these people.

Look at the three people at the top, they are all wealthy people, and if they were put in the outside world, they could directly star in idol dramas without any character settings. But in the end, aren’t they still working in his store?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Sure enough, my Peace Hotel is still the most attractive!"

He Yuelian left in a hurry. After asking for leave, she did not pack anything and left the Peace Hotel directly, then returned to Tai O City.

The principle of the Peace Hotel is simple.

How you came is how you will leave.

Wherever you were when you came, there you will return to when you leave.

But there are exceptions, and that is their employees.

Although the "store manager" didn't say it, they have already figured it out on their own. As long as they become employees of the Peace Hotel, they will be able to control their return to reality within a certain range.

For interns recognized by the “store manager”, the controllable range is within a kilometer radius of the entry location.

Formal employees recognized by the "store manager" can only control an area within a 10,000-meter radius of the entry location.

This is already a very large range. As long as it is used well, it is definitely a good auxiliary skill, and the lobby manager is promoted from "store manager".

This position is above the level of an ordinary employee and is considered middle management.

Just like He Yiner's fish pond manager, he has greater authority and auxiliary capabilities. When returning to reality, the controllable range reaches a radius of 100,000 meters from the entry location.

So this time, He Yuelian went straight back to Boss He’s casino in Tai O City.

However, to her surprise, Boss He was not in the casino's exclusive lounge, which was a bit unusual because he would stay here whenever he had nothing to do.

It's not just because here you can see what's going on in the entire casino and enjoy the pleasure of being superior and controlling everyone, but also because it's very safe here.

As long as you are not attacked by ghost riders or the army, you will basically not be in danger.

But today...

"It seems that my guess was right. You really came back today. Do you want to go to class?"

A gentle voice came from the corner. He Yuelian turned around suddenly, but saw nothing except a shadow. There was no one there.

But the strange thing is that even though the light in the room is bright and that corner is not a blind spot, the light just can't shine through.

"Zhang Xianguang?"

"Well, it's me."

As the words fell, it was as if something obstructing was removed, the light of the incandescent lamp illuminated the dark corner, and the figure of the spiritual light slowly emerged from it.

He just stood there quietly, wearing a clean and tidy Zhongshan suit, with a calm face and a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"You should fulfill your promise to me."

Ling Yiguang smiled, walked out from the corner, found a comfortable position to sit on the sofa, and looked very lazy. "The transaction between us does not have to be limited to evil spirits."

As he spoke, he tapped his head with his hand and said, "There is a lot of knowledge in here, maybe it will be useful to you."

He Yuelian felt as if she had been seen through, and she felt very uncomfortable. "Are you going to teach me to be like Xiong Wenwen's mother?"

When that woman was mentioned, Ling Yiguang's expression finally changed slightly.

He sighed, "That's a rare failure in my decades of teaching career. But her ability is not bad, and she has considerable attainments in financial management, but unfortunately, she is just an ordinary person in all aspects. If it were you, you should be able to learn quickly, and most importantly, you can get along with the store manager without any conflicts."

He Yuelian sneered: "I am just an ordinary person."

"No, you were no longer ordinary from the moment you entered the Peace Hotel. If you wish, I can prove it to you."

Ling Yiguang said this, looking at He Yuelian's head.

There is a wisp of white mist there that protects He Yuelian's consciousness. As long as He Yuelian is willing, she can rely on this magical protection to become a ghost rider, or even a powerful ghost rider.

Unless the power of the controlled ghost exceeds that of Lin Yuan, it is possible to break this supernatural protection.

He Yuelian suddenly thought of Liu Qingqing in the past, the poor woman whose body was hollowed out by supernatural power and who seemed to have nothing left that belonged to her except a piece of skin.

For a moment, she looked at Ling Yiguang with a look of vigilance, "No, I'm in a good condition now. You just need to fulfill your promise to me, and don't worry about other things."

As the eldest sister of the He family in Tai O City, if she really wanted to learn business management knowledge, with the influence of Boss He, he could invite professional professors to teach her. There was no need to find a dangerous guy like Ling Yiguang.

"If I were not an ordinary person, I would not have come to you at all."

Ling Yiguang said: "I believe that my existence is too dangerous for you. Since you have such a strong request, I will naturally abide by the previous agreement, but there is one condition."

"Do you want to break your promise?" He Yuelian narrowed her eyes.

Even though she is just an ordinary person and is quite afraid of supernatural lights, it doesn't mean she has no way to deal with them.

At worst, I can go back to the Peace Hotel to find my “parents”!
"Of course not. I will do what I promised you. But I hope it will be when Zhang Xianguang is present. That should be okay, right?" Ling Yiguang put forward his conditions.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

After He Yuelian finished speaking, she closed her mouth and stared at the strange light.

Ling Yiguang smiled and retreated back into the shadows, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

He Yuelian did not relax, but checked the room and confirmed that there was no shadow anywhere before she breathed a sigh of relief. The strength she had just had disappeared, and what remained was endless tiredness.

"Ordinary people are too weak. Perhaps, I should become a ghost rider as well?"

After resting for a while, He Yuelian summoned the white fog ghost domain and returned to the Peace Hotel from it, but she did not really go back to the hotel, but came to the fish pond.

As usual, no one came to the fish pond, only He Yin'er was taking care of the "fish" that were valued by the "store manager".

Of course, there was an extra watchdog, the Knocker, Lao Hei, at the door. It did not react to He Yuelian's arrival at all, but just sat there stupidly, like a sculpture.

"You just took a leave, and you're back so soon?" He Yin'er was a little surprised.

He Yuelian sat on the only chair, not considering herself an outsider at all. "I was just looking for an excuse. I'll come back after I finish my work, but the time is not up yet, so I'll sit here first, so that Brother Yuan won't let me down if he asks."

He Yiner nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to busy herself with her own things.

He Yuelian sat there, staring at the road outside the fish pond in a daze, until she was awakened by the strange voice of "Welcome".

As she looked expectantly, a strange young man came over with a gloomy face. His movements were a little stiff and he seemed somewhat reluctant.

When he reached the entrance of the fish pond, he stopped, looked at Lao Hei who was squatting on the ground, and then looked at He Yuelian and He Yiner inside, "Is the business of Peace Hotel diverted to the fish pond? Aren't you afraid of losing a lot of money?"

He Yuelian's face darkened immediately, "Yang Jian, if you talk like this, do you believe I will beat your father?"

Yang Jian said expressionlessly: "If you can do it, I have no objection. But I have a suggestion, can you ask that old man Hua to stop shouting? Every time he comes over, he is forced to walk a distance, which is very painful."

He was originally going to the Peace Hotel, but as soon as he arrived at the Peace Hotel bus stop, the dead dog started barking.

“Welcome~”

It was a very strange cry, and when Yang Jian heard it, his body instantly lost control and he stepped directly onto the bluestone path. He did not regain control until he walked outside the fish pond.

But he had a feeling.

As long as he doesn't move forward, or doesn't consume in the fish pond and wants to go back, the strange voice will definitely sound again and control him.

It's simply a forced sale.

It's becoming more and more like a shady shop!

"Then you've got the wrong person. Lao Hua only listens to the boss. I'm just a small lobby manager and I can't manage things outside the lobby."

Yang Jian took a deep breath and didn't argue with He Yuelian anymore. He turned around and walked into the Peace Hotel to meet his... former father.
