I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 324 The fourth closed beta test of the virtual game: Endless cemetery!

Through the young man's memory, Shen Lin returned to Dahai City at a certain moment.

At this time, Dahai City was still prosperous, but this was not enough.

This young man escaped from Dahai City in advance, and was able to survive when the strange incident occurred in Dahai City.

In his memory, there was no experience of the supernatural events that broke out in Dahai City.

but it does not matter.

Shen Lin, with his young appearance, completely integrated into Dahai City. However, as he was walking, another young man came from the opposite direction.

This young man is in his early twenties and looks handsome, but he gives people a weird feeling here.

It's like a walking corpse, very abnormal.

Shen Lin passed by the young man and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

People were moving around and jostling each other.

The young man who was walking towards him had mysteriously disappeared at some point. At the same time, when Shen Lin raised his head again, he had turned into the young and handsome man just now.

At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth and he continued walking forward.

just now.

Shen Lin is no longer Shen Lin, but a young man living in this city. He replaced the young man and will then experience everything that this young man had, including death.

The moment Shen Lin experienced the death of this young man, the killing pattern and some secrets of the evil spirit in Dahai City would be exposed to him.

Everything in the city is being rehearsed in some incredible way.

Just at this moment, the city has one more witness, Shen Lin.

The truth will be revealed soon.

Shen Lin spent the last night of this young man's life like this, and also witnessed the transformation of Dahai City from a prosperous and bustling metropolis to a dead silent one.

The young man was left at the door of a bar in Dahai City and buried under a small pile of black, smelly soil.

However, at the moment when the young man was buried, his appearance suddenly changed.

Shen Lin's appearance appeared.

"Is this all you experienced before you died? It was a truly horrific attack. You've witnessed countless deaths, but you can't find any way to attack them."

The grave soil that could bury everything seemed to have no effect on Shen Lin.

The young man before had been completely buried by the grave soil, and Shen Lin walked out directly from the grave like a soul that had escaped from its body.

He was not affected by the grave soil, nor was he buried.

"The memory invasion was successful. I successfully entered Dahai City and invaded reality from memory. But it also failed. I didn't find the ghost that caused all this, and I didn't even find its killing pattern."

Relying on the memory of a living person, Shen Lin invaded the memory of another dead person and arrived at the dead person's final place of death.

This is the Dahai City that exists in memory.

The evil spirit controlled by Shen Lin allowed him to invade the real world from his memory. There was no logic to it.

"It stinks."

Shen Lin frowned. He actually smelled a faint stench, which made him feel a little unbelievable.

Because he had long since gotten rid of the body of a living person and became an alien being that existed in a special way. He had long since lost his five senses and could not feel cold or heat, nor could he smell anything.

But this feeling just happened.

"This stench is not a real change in smell, but a spiritual influence." Shen Lin thought to himself, and his face became solemn.

If he can be disturbed by the spirits and smell beautiful and bad odors, then it also means that he can be contacted or even killed.

The evil spirit from the Dahai City incident is absolutely terrifying!
Only at this moment did Shen Lin realize what kind of ghost he was going to face.

"First we need to find out where the ghost is and what the pattern of the killings is."

He understood that he couldn't fight this thing alone. He had to look for clues, get intelligence, and then join forces with Li Leping and Liu San to solve this supernatural incident.

If a captain faces this beast alone, there is a high chance that he will be buried.

"Li Leping and Liu San went to the Peace Hotel to buy insurance. We can let them play as the main force when the time comes."

Thinking of the Peace Hotel, Shen Lin felt a little emotional.

It was definitely a terrifying place, but also a place of opportunity, but he... didn't dare to go there.

After a brief thought, Shen Lin stepped on the black soil and walked towards a nearby small building that was not buried by the black soil.

These black muds are definitely not ordinary things and may be the key to the attack of evil spirits.

He didn't dare stay on the black mud for long.

Ghosts can appear at any time, and Shen Lin doesn’t want to face the evil ghosts in Dahai City alone now.

Shen Lin acted quickly without hesitation or delay.

After a while, he arrived at the five-story building and went to the top of the building to look into the distance.

"That is……"

In a place similar to a cemetery, Shen Lin saw a hunched old man facing him.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the old man's appearance clearly, nor could he tell whether the old man was a human or a ghost.

But the strong malice made him realize instantly: "It's... a ghost!"

That being the case.

Everything around is changing dramatically. Countless graves are disappearing rapidly and buried buildings are beginning to reappear.

There were pedestrians on the dead silent street and cars passing by.

The scenery is changing, as if it has returned to a moment before the event and is no longer where it was just now.

This change is rapid.

In the blink of an eye, the prosperous and bustling Dahai City once again replaced the previous dead city.

Shen Lin has become accustomed to such strange changes.

He went downstairs, came to the street, mixed in with the crowd, and headed towards the cemetery where the old man was.

But he stood out from the crowd.

It was as if those passers-by were really passers-by and he was the protagonist.

The sense of incongruity is obvious, but I can't tell what's wrong.

Like before, Shen Lin casually replaced someone, became a resident of this city, and then headed towards the cemetery.

He just became the person in their memory and had no power to change their lives.

So he replaced many people and went through many twists and turns before he reached the position where the old man was looking at him in reality.

"Is this... Fu Shou Yuan?"

Looking inside, the roads in the cemetery are clean and tidy, with flowers and plants everywhere and excellent greenery.

It is more like the entrance to a park than a cemetery.

The person Shen Lin is now replacing is the middle-aged man who came to the cemetery to sweep the graves. He walked in from the middle-aged man's perspective.

The graves in the cemetery are numbered.

The middle-aged man worshipped at grave No. 69. It was a very normal worship, as if everything was normal, just like the others scattered around.

But at some point, chaos began.

It was apparently a clean and tidy cemetery road, but at some point there appeared many strange and weird old graves. These old graves were all paved with black soil and emitted an indescribable stench.

This sudden change shocked everyone, and then they started to run away.

The middle-aged man was one of them, but he didn't get a few steps before his feet slipped and he fell down.

There was clearly a cement path under my feet, but it was just covered with a layer of black mud.

At the same time, the thin layer of black soil began to grow, burying the upper body of the middle-aged man and forming a new small grave.

Shen Lin did not invade into reality.

When he has strong support but is not 100% sure of his success, Shen Lin will not try to face the ghost alone.

The reason he invaded was to explore the ghost's killing patterns and some secrets through memory.

Unfortunately.

The middle-aged man died too quickly and too strangely to provide him with much useful information.

But it doesn’t matter, there are others.

Shen Lin began to invade memories again and again, including men and women, old people and children.

Shen Lin experienced the death moments of dozens of people and finally found a trace.

"It's that ding-ding-ding knocking sound, and it's very close. I only need to invade once more, and then I can see how the ghost kills people."

Shen Lin started a new round of invasion.

This time, the person he invaded was a ten-year-old girl with two buns on her head.

It’s not that he had any special hobby for the little girl, but among all the people in Fushou Garden, only this little girl had run to that corner because of her love of play.

Only this little girl could have possibly seen a ghost.

Shen Lin, who had become a little girl, followed the little girl's perspective and followed a toy rolling on the ground to a corner.

It is here.

"Ding! Ding ding!"

The knocking sound is already very clear, and you should be able to see it if you just walk over.

Shen Lin was full of hope, but just at the corner, a hunched figure blocked her way.

This is an elderly woman, holding a basket of vegetables in her hand. The basket is covered with an old piece of cloth, so you can't see what's inside clearly.

Shen Lin didn't notice anything at first.

This was a memory of the little girl before she died, and it was just a memory. But just when he thought the little girl would turn around and walk around the old man, the old man suddenly spoke:

"An interesting young man."

what?
Shen Lin looked up suddenly and saw the old man looking at him calmly. This feeling... was definitely not the old man in his memory.

How is this going?

Shen Lin's heart sank slightly, "Old man, why are you here?" The old woman, or rather Meng Xiaodong, looked at Shen Lin curiously, and that look made Shen Lin feel creepy.

Is it just an illusion?
Shen Lin gritted his teeth, raised his little hand and was about to slap Meng Xiaodong's... thigh.

It was not that he wanted to take advantage of Meng Xiaodong, but he was only the height of a ten-year-old girl and could not reach Meng Xiaodong's shoulders.

You can't just pat Meng Xiaodong's chest, right?
That would be even more rude.

However, the slap was blocked by the vegetable basket, but his force seemed to be a little too strong, and it kicked up the floral cloth in the basket, revealing a doll's head.

The doll looked very sloppily made, as if it was made of some scraps of old cloth and glass beads sewn together.

But when the floral cloth opened that corner, the pair of broken glass eyes began to move strangely.

The image of the little girl Shen Lin now appeared from inside, with a look full of resentment.

This is a...ghost!

Shen Lin subconsciously took a step back, and a red axe appeared in his hand. This axe looked normal in the hands of a normal Shen Lin, but in the hands of his current little girl, it looked very big, almost a few centimeters bigger than his current head.

Meng Xiaodong raised his hand and pulled the floral cloth to cover the doll's head again.

The doll that was about to revive seemed to be suppressed and fell silent again.

"Young man, you don't belong here, go back." Meng Xiaodong spoke slowly, his voice was vicissitudes and with a hint of regret.

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes, holding the red axe tightly with both hands, and the voice of a mature man came out of the little girl's body, "Old woman, are you your ghost?"

"No, just an old friend." Meng Xiaodong sighed.

Shen Lin chuckled and said, "I see. It seems that your family doesn't have much money, otherwise you wouldn't be able to handle your funeral properly. Are you short of money to buy a coffin?"

Meng Xiaodong felt a little unhappy.

This young man who pretends to be a little girl and has a transvestite habit speaks in a rather harsh way.

but……

Looking back at the old man who was carving words on the tombstone with coffin nails, Meng Xiaodong didn't say anything else.

Just when Shen Lin hesitated, his face changed drastically, because the little girl's body had fallen to the ground.

The black soil from the surrounding graves also rushed over to bury her.

Shen Lin put away the red axe and said coldly: "I will come back again."

Then, the whole person was buried.

Meng Xiaodong praised him, "He is indeed a very good young man. What a pity. If it weren't for the Peace Hotel, he might have been noticed by others."

At the entrance of Fushou Garden.

Li Leping and Su Fan transformed themselves into cleaners and finally arrived here, but that was all.

"The black soil is getting thicker and thicker. It's not realistic to use this method to get in. We don't have much time. The soil behind us is also burying us."

Su Fan was very anxious.

They have been nailed by the ghosts. As long as they touch the black soil, they will instantly be attacked by the ghosts, and they have no way to resist.

At least, Su Fan doesn't have this ability.

Li Leping grabbed Su Fan's shoulders and jumped directly onto the plaque of Fushou Garden.

It was relatively clean here and not covered by black mud, so he could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. Li Leping also saw the first floor of a building not far away.

Liu San, who had been buried long ago, was waving at him.

……

Peace Hotel, 3rd floor.

"Store Manager" Lin Yuan has gone to rest, while Lin Yuan is building Dahai City.

"With Meng Xiaodong's perspective, invading Dahai City will be much easier. She can also handle this level of supernatural power."

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with this.

Just like the last virtual game, only with the Caesar Hotel, which has been gradually incorporated into the puzzle, as a beacon can the invasion and transformation of ZS City be successfully achieved.

"It's a pity that Luo Qian seems to have died and has revived. Without the intervention of Yang Jian and Ye Zhen in the original novel, would the fully revived Luo Qian really have buried the entire Dahai City? If he had been given time, he might have really buried the entire world."

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully.

With the power of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, except for Zhang Bohua who has basically never demonstrated his offensive strength, the others seem to have the potential to subvert the world.

"Cao Yang, Wei Jing, Zhang Lei, and Zhou Deng, if the four of them went directly over, they would probably be buried by the revived Luo Qian in an instant."

It’s not that Lin Yuan looks down on them.

In terms of growth rate, Cao Yang, Wei Jing and Zhang Lei can be said to have been given cheats by Lin Yuan, but they have not fully grown up yet.

If I really met the resurrected Luo Qian...

In the original novel, Luo Qian, who was summoned by He Yin'er, helped Wei Jing completely control the ghost.

Although Luo Qian's actions are restricted by the laws of killing after the evil spirit is resurrected, his level of terror is definitely higher.

By then, none of these three little guys will be able to escape!
Zhou Deng?

This guy has managed to accumulate a huge fortune for himself by using his magic hands. Even according to the rules of the Peace Hotel, he is definitely a big customer.

But his ability to attack head-on is also very questionable.

If he could succeed in stealing the coffin nails from Luo Qian's hand and deny Luo Qian the chance to carve words on the stone tablet, then perhaps he would be able to fight against Luo Qian who only had the ghost shovel?
No, no!

"Luo Qian wanted to bury someone, and the coffin nails and the name engraved on the tombstone were just one of the means. It doesn't mean that he can't bury someone without the coffin nails."

"It's a bit of a headache."

Lin Yuan sighed, "You can't really let 'me' deliver the package again, and then bring Luo Qian back personally through the nightmare, right?"

This method is feasible.

but……

"Wait! Shen Lin?"

Lin Yuan's ghost domain has taken Meng Xiaodong as the coordinate and covered the entire Dahai City. Even Luo Qian's grave could not block it.

Because of this, the entire Dahai City is within Lin Yuan’s sight.

Just like the last time in ZS City, Lin Yuan placed the virtual image of Dahai City in front of him in order to facilitate his own habits.

It's like a virtual projection.

"Li Leping, Su Fan, Liu San, it's normal that they could locate Fushou Garden so quickly. Luo Qian didn't hide his figure at all, so if he was seen, they would naturally look for him."

"And Shen Lin, this guy is really good at playing with memory."

"It's a pity that Meng Xiaodong can also invade. If the two of them collide, plus Luo Qian, Shen Lin won't get any benefit."

"If we go directly to Dahai City, then Cao Yang and his companions will be dead. That would be too boring. Perhaps we can use Shen Lin as a server to build a channel to the past. It should be easier to handle before Dahai City is completely destroyed."

Do it when you think of it.

At this time, Shen Lin had just suffered a defeat in front of Meng Xiaodong, which made him very indignant. He was ready to invade again to test Meng Xiaodong's strength.

No need to worry about being killed.

Even if he died in a memory, he could be resurrected in another memory, which could be considered an alternative restart.

Before this operation, he had placed enough "anchors" in the temporary command post outside Dahai City to allow himself to invade from his memory.

"I want to see what kind of horrible person caused this supernatural incident."

Shen Lin muttered to himself. Just as he was about to invade the past from reality again, his face suddenly changed. "What happened? My supernatural power is ineffective?"

Can't move!

Shen Lin only felt that his body was numb, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

He was buried in the previous memory, and returned to reality through a supernatural invasion, and was ready to invade the past again through reality.

But at some point, a layer of light white mist had already risen around.

In this layer of white fog, his movements were suppressed, his spiritual powers became silent, and he seemed to have been suppressed from an alien to an ordinary person.

"How can it be!"

Shen Lin was horrified. Ever since he became an alien, he never thought that he would encounter such a horrible thing.

Obviously, it is already an extremely terrifying alien, isn't it?
Shen Lin wanted to speak, wanted to ask who was plotting against him, but now he didn't even have the ability to speak.

The white mist invaded his body and took over his spirit.

Even his face seemed to be covered with a layer of light white mist, becoming blurry and his consciousness gradually began to fall into a deep sleep.

"I can't sleep! I can't sleep! I can't sleep!"

Shen Lin tried hard to hold on, but in the face of absolute strength, all his persistence was ridiculous and had no effect.

at last.

Shen Lin completely lost consciousness. His entire body was wrapped in thick white fog and disappeared into the mist.

An unknown past.

The mysterious place corresponding to Fu Shou Garden is named the mysterious place of Endless Cemetery. Wherever you look, there are graves of all sizes.

Only that small wooden house stood out.

The door of the wooden house was half open, and the space inside was very dark. One could only vaguely see two figures sitting opposite each other. There was a small table in the middle with a pot of water and two teacups on it.

One of them was Meng Xiaodong.

She put her vegetable basket aside and sat there quietly, looking at the old man opposite her.

The old man is called Luo Qian, and he is the owner of this endless cemetery.

At this moment, he was lowering his head, as if dozing off, his whole body exuded a strong sense of decadence, and it seemed that half of his foot had already stepped into the coffin.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Qian slowly raised his head, revealing his old face covered with age spots, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's hard for you to come back from the future to see me."

Looking at the white mist rising around him, Meng Xiaodong sighed and said, "It was that person who wanted to give you another chance to choose."

Luo Qian grinned, did not answer, and lowered his head again.

Meng Xiaodong didn't say anything else. He stood up, picked up the vegetable basket, walked out the door, glanced at the old man who was hardly breathing, and the black coffin that occupied most of the space in the wooden house, then closed the wooden door.

Not long after.

There was a noise in the wooden house, the sound of the coffin lid being opened, and then... nothing, no more sound.
