I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 363 Da He takes bereavement leave, lost history

He Yin'er didn't sleep all night.

If it was before tonight, she might still need sleep to replenish her energy. Although the supernatural power of the fourth-level ghost lake was terrifying, it did not make her an alien, and she still had the body of an ordinary person.

But after last night, she became a fourth-generation necromancer and also an outlier, so naturally she no longer needed sleep.

At night, she was still full of energy after guarding the spirit of He Liansheng all night. After saying goodbye to Boss Liu, the middle-aged woman and the faceless man, she went to the Peace Hotel.

She is an employee of the Peace Hotel. She has the seeds of white fog planted by Lin Yuan in her mind. She does not need other means such as ghost buses and supernatural advertisements. Just a thought, the white fog spreads, and the road to the Peace Hotel is invaded.

After He Yin'er left, Boss Liu said, "Go back and have a rest. Yin'er should at least have breakfast before coming back."

"No, I'm going to do some laundry. These clothes have been quite noisy lately, and sometimes I think it's a good thing that the Ghost Lake has flooded over. If I want to do laundry, I don't have to go so far to the ferry, I can just walk a few steps and do it."

The middle-aged woman took out a wooden basin from behind her back. It was empty and there was no sign of any clothes in it.

"Okay, just don't delay things. The water level of Ghost Lake is dropping, and the town will eventually be revived. After what happened last night, I suddenly had an idea, an idea to restore the town's bustling glory..."

"Don't even think about it. So many shops are empty. Where are you going to find people to run them?" the middle-aged woman attacked bluntly, but judging by her usual tone, she was now quite restrained.

Boss Liu said with a carefree smile: "Everything depends on human effort. We have to give it a try. After all, there are still some remnants in these shops. As long as we can find a successor, it may be possible to make them lively again."

Like a paper-making shop or a coffin shop, there are still things left by the former owners.

In fact, there is a Ghost Bank, but it was flooded by the Ghost Lake, and it was completely submerged. Everything inside sank to the bottom of the Ghost Lake.

"If the store manager is really looking for something in the bank, maybe he doesn't need to come to town at all."

……

At the Heping bus station, He Yin'er walked out of the white fog and heard Guo Fan's surprised voice: "Captain Yinzi, what are you doing?"

Out of politeness, he would not call him "Da He", at least when the "store manager" was not around.

This is also the suggestion given by the headquarters. In this way, at least He Yiner can remember her identity and responsibilities as the captain of the headquarters.

He Yiner was not asked to follow the arrangements of the headquarters, but at least she had to manage Dayuan City and the nearby towns well and avoid any chaos.

However, today, He Yiner was wearing mourning clothes.

After He Yin'er turned around, Guo Fan was even more surprised, "Captain Yinzi, your eyes..."

The pale eyeball in He Yiner's left eye moved slightly, like a ghost spying on something, which made Guo Fan feel terrified.

"It seems like you went through a lot last night. If Guo Fan offended you in any way, please don't mind. He has no ill intentions."

Tong Qian stepped forward. She came with Guo Fan and had the aura of a big sister.

Guo Fan felt that he was much more surprised today than usual. He whispered, "Thank you, but you don't have to do this."

"Deputy Minister Cao said that I am the main person in charge of the headquarters at the Peace Hotel. In this case, I will naturally be responsible for you." Tong Qian's tone was calm, but her attitude was very firm.

Is this responsibility?
Guo Fan suddenly felt guilty, because he no longer had the intention to work hard for the headquarters. Instead, he wanted to cling to the "store manager".

No, it should be hugging the store manager.

If given the chance, he even wanted to counterattack, kick out the "store manager" and become the store manager's spokesperson at the Peace Hotel.

Even though Guo Fan is treated like this by Tong Qian, he is not an outlier, and his ordinary emotions have not been completely eroded by the supernatural. Moreover, this is the Peace Hotel, a place where those who have lost all their emotions can still find their lost past.

In a place like this, how could he not feel touched?

"You misunderstood. This is a new supernatural power that I have harnessed. It's a little scary, but I won't attack anyone easily. I have something else to do, so I'll go in first."

He Yiner explained, turned and walked onto the bluestone path.

"Let's go, we should go to the store. Captain Yinzi must have really encountered something, it's not aimed at you, don't worry."

After Tong Qian finished speaking, she followed him onto the bluestone path.

Guo Fan scratched his head. "What's with this feeling of being a big sister? It's a pity that you're just a kitchen keeper and are rejected by Liu Qingqing and the others. You're of no help to my counterattack. How can I accept your kindness?"

While muttering to himself, he followed and walked onto the bluestone path.

Although he is a driver of Ghost Taxi, he also needs to go to the store for a morning meeting in the morning.

Three people, one in front and two behind, soon passed the Ghost Lake and Fish Pond and arrived at the store. The knocking ghost and the starving ghost at the door of the store had woken up and had just crawled out of their cages.

Go into the store.

He Yuelian was cleaning the store with Xiaoan and Xiaoxi. Xianglan had also arrived and was helping to keep the store clean.

Thanks to the existence of the directional portal, the travel time between the Peace Hotel and the Caesar Hotel has been reduced by ninety-nine percent.

The tall male corpse Li Qingzhi and the ghost security guard Lao Fan stood at the door, like two door gods.

The overbearing president·gorilla·Fang Shiming hid at the door of the back kitchen like a little wife, staring at the ghost messenger·security guard·Lao Fan vigilantly, not daring to take a step forward.

"What's wrong with him?" Guo Fan asked curiously.

This is Fang Shiming, the president of the circle of friends, Fang Shiming!
In the real world, the two pillars of the Dajing City circle of friends, Jiang Shangbai and He Tianxiong, are already dead. However, because of Fang Shiming's status in the Peace Hotel, the headquarters dare not take action against the circle of friends easily.

The remaining few executives, on the contrary, became even more eager and frantic, which made the friend circle even more powerful.

How could such a president-level figure, a man who even the headquarters had to give way to, be so cowardly in the store?
This is not Guo Fan’s fault.

Although he knew that Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming were punished by the "store manager" because of the blind date incident in Dajing City, he also knew the content of the punishment, which was to carry the ghost messenger's coffin and coffin lid respectively.

But it shouldn't be as bad as it is now, right?

"In order to punish Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming, the store manager split the ghost's coffin into two parts. Fang Shiming carried the coffin, and Wang Xiaoming carried the coffin lid. For the ghost, it was like Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming had its puzzle pieces on them. As a fierce ghost, it naturally wanted to take back these two pieces of spirits and complete itself.

Unfortunately, this is the Peace Hotel. No matter how terrifying the ghost is, it can't violate the rules set by the store manager. So it will get close to Fang Shiming because of instinct, but it can't attack Fang Shiming, let alone rob the coffin. In the end, the external performance is that Lao Fan likes to stick to Fang Shiming. In the eyes of the store manager, what kind of relationship do you think two grown men sticking together should have?"

Liu Qingqing stretched, raised her head from the cashier counter, and explained to Guo Fan.

Guo Fan suddenly realized, "I was wondering, so in the store, Mr. Fang and Brother Fan were set up as close lovers. Look at them, they are the kind of lovers who love and hate each other? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Fang is actually 0, hahahaha!"

Guo Fan burst into laughter, but as he laughed he felt something was wrong.

He stopped cautiously and saw He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, He Yiner, Xiao An, and Xiao Xi all staring at him with strange eyes.

Fang Shiming was different. Although he was also staring at Guo Fan, he was staring at him with an extremely resentful look, the kind that made him want to kill Guo Fan with a knife.

Guo Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly forced out a smile, "Don't mind, Mr. Fang, I'm really mean!"

He was filled with regret.

I shouldn't have been so complacent and told the truth just now. Now I have completely offended Fang Shiming.

But he still has to return to live in reality.

Even with the supernatural power of the "store manager", Fang Shiming is unlikely to kill himself, but if he wants to torture himself, he can definitely do it.

When it’s time to be cowardly, you have to be cowardly.

"You are quite brave, you dare to say these words directly. But you are not wrong, Fang Shiming, don't stare at me like that, that's how Brother Yuan sees you. If you think I am wrong, you can go and tell Brother Yuan. Now please move aside, I have to go prepare breakfast for Brother Yuan."

Liu Qingqing stood up from the cashier counter and walked to the kitchen door.

She was very tall, and with the blood-red high heels, she was not much shorter than Fang Shiming. Moreover, in terms of aura, she even surpassed Fang Shiming.

Fang Shiming was carrying the ghost catcher's coffin on his back. The ghost in this coffin was even more terrifying than the oppressive ghost he had controlled before. He couldn't stand up straight at all and could only bend over, as if he was bowing down.

But his eyes were very sharp, full of murderous intent, "You'd better not return to reality."

"It seems that you have been the president for too long. Are you serious about threatening me here?" Liu Qingqing still had a smile on her face, but her eyes had turned cold.

This is the Peace Hotel!
Fang Shiming took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and got out of the way.

"Don't worry, I won't retaliate against you. After all, you can bring enough evil spirits to Brother Yuan, but you'd better be thankful that you have enough evil spirits in reserve, otherwise when the day comes when you are useless, there is no need to say what the end will be."

After taking a look at the ghost scissors in Fang Shiming's eyes, Liu Qingqing walked into the kitchen gracefully.

"There's something wrong with Liu Qingqing today. She's too confident and too aggressive. Did something happen last night?" Tong Qian frowned.

Early this morning, something big happened to the people in the store.

He Yiner put on mourning clothes and controlled a new evil spirit...

Liu Qingqing seemed to have become a different person, both in her demeanor and temperament, as if she had been reborn, which made people feel very strange. If this was not the Peace Hotel, she might have suspected that Liu Qingqing had been switched.

"Who knows, could it be that the night raid was successful and she's planning to become the boss's wife?" Guo Fan muttered to himself, and then he saw Liu Qingqing looking back at him, and her whole body suddenly stiffened.

Liu Qingqing prepared the meal and brought it to the third floor.

This has always been her habit. Lin Yuan asked her to come in for dinner and asked her about what happened last night.

What a pity, no one ordered takeout last night.

"Working the night shift is very tiring. Let's wait a few days and see if there are only one or two takeout orders at night, then we might as well stop working the night shift and give everyone enough rest time." Lin Yuan said.

Liu Qingqing nodded, "Brother Yuan, you are considerate of us."

"I've already told you that as long as you're in the store, you're one of us. Let's go, it's almost time, let's hold a morning meeting to welcome today's customers."

The two walked downstairs and came to the lobby. Lin Yuan saw the mourning clothes on He Yiner at a glance, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Big He, what are you doing?"

"My grandfather passed away last night. Brother Yuan, can I take seven days off?" He Yin'er did not pretend to be weak, nor did she force herself to cry.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, her actions were just pretending to be strong.

Lin Yuan was very considerate of these girls. Some of them had lost their relatives at a young age, so he would not forcefully expose their disguises. "Okay, then go back and take care of things, and come back to work in seven days."

He Yiner asked for leave and left directly.

She was going to keep vigil for He Liansheng, and today's work officially began after the morning meeting hosted by Lin Yuan.

Just like before, Xiao An and Xiao Xi drove out the more than 40 ghost animals they earned yesterday from the utility room and lined them up for Li Qingzhi to take to the Caesar Hotel through the directional portal.

There was the ghost catcher Lao Fan, the watchdog knocking ghost Lao Hei and the watchdog starving ghost Lao Hua watching on the side. None of the ghosts did anything rash and they left smoothly.

Around seven in the morning, Meng Xiaodong came down from upstairs and prepared to go to the bus stop to take the bus.

Liu Qingqing suddenly said, "Brother Yuan, didn't you ask Lao Qin, who was driving the bus, to ask about the address I wanted to add last time? Did you get any results?"

"I'll go ask about this. But don't hold your hopes too high. That place should be very remote, and maybe Lao Qin and the others haven't been there either."

After comforting Liu Qingqing, Lin Yuan left with Meng Xiaodong.

When the two walked to the bus stop, the ghost bus just drove out of the fog and stopped at the platform.

The front and rear doors open simultaneously.

When the rear car pulled up to the door, two monkeys and a wolf jumped out and rushed into the fog in the distance.

“Welcome~”

A strange and hollow voice sounded, and the two monkeys and the wolf stopped moving instantly. But after a breath, the wolf moved again, not running away, but heading towards the source of the sound.

It didn't look like it was attracted by the sound, but rather that it was irritated and wanted to bite whoever made the sound.

When it rushed past Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan kicked it directly.

The kick was very heavy and hit the wolf in the abdomen. It flew more than ten meters away and fell in front of the starving ghost Lao Hua who rushed out.

Lao Hua opened his mouth and bit the wolf's neck, then turned and ran into the store.

Everything happened in a flash, and Yang Jian, who had just gotten off the car, was shocked. "Brother Yuan, your welcoming ceremony is really unique."

"There are always some wild beasts that want to mess around in my store. There's nothing I can do but protect myself. Are you here to have breakfast? Go in first, there's someone there to serve you." Lin Yuan said.

Yang Jian nodded, without talking to Lin Yuan, and walked directly onto the bluestone path.

Behind him were two young ghost riders, who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. However, their condition was poor, their faces were pale and bloodless, and it was obvious that they were about to be revived by evil spirits.

They didn't want to get off the bus, but they had to.

The ghost bus was clearly not turned off, but the sense of danger made them realize that staying on the bus would mean death.

If you want to leave, you can only wait for the ghost bus to start and then get back on board.

but……

Those two monkeys and one wolf were ghosts. When they were in the car, they looked like extremely scary ghosts, but when they got off the car, they were turned into animals and had no ability to resist at all.

You can imagine how terrifying it is here!
The two men got off the bus tremblingly. Lin Yuan just glanced at them and then looked away, then stepped onto the ghost bus.

Just when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, a strange voice suddenly came to their ears:

“Welcome~”

The next moment, the two men became unconscious, and when they regained consciousness, they were already standing inside the door of the Peace Hotel.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat? Friendly reminder, you must pay the bill before eating at the Peace Hotel."

Now that Lin Yuan was out, He Yuelian, as the lobby manager, naturally had to take up the responsibility.

Yang Jian came in earlier. As a regular customer, he naturally prepared money for this meal. As for the two unlucky guys, he said that he didn't know them. He came here to wait for people, not to waste his evil spirit on two unlucky guys he didn't know.

Nowadays, evil spirits are worth billions on the market, and they are so expensive that there is no demand for them.

Who would spend 2 billion for a stranger who they just walked a distance with?
Moreover, it might not be a bad thing if these two ghost riders were deprived of their evil ghosts and turned back into ordinary people.

Just like Yan Li in Dachang City...

At the same time, the doors of the four rooms 209, 211, 213 and 215 on the second floor opened at the same time. After looking at each other, they all came to 209.

"I was the first to leave last night, but I gained a lot, a total of 35 points. How about you? How are you doing?" Li Leping spoke first.

"We three have reached an agreement. Since we need to allocate manpower to search for the store manager's information, the points will be divided equally. I also got some information about Taiping Town. Although it is not a secret, it should be able to make up for some of the headquarters' files on Taiping Town. Moreover, He Yin'er should need these secrets, which can become part of the bargaining chip for the headquarters to negotiate with her."

Cao Yang briefly explained his situation. "I will report this information to the headquarters after I return. After the information is sorted out, everyone can refer to it. I won't go into details here. After the information exchange was completed, I fought until the evil spirit revived, and finally I only got ten points, which is better than nothing. Zhang Lei, how many points did you get?"

"Captain Cao, I have to thank you for creating the conditions for me and for keeping those scary old men in the town at bay. I intercepted the ghost riders on their way to the market at the intersection and killed thirteen of them, which is 65 points. It's a great harvest."

"It's indeed a great harvest, but unfortunately I don't have any points, so I can only share them with you." Zhou Deng said embarrassedly.

"This is what we agreed on before, a total of 75 points, and there are exactly three of us, so each person gets 25 points, which is not a bad gain. But compared to the points, Zhou Deng, have you collected any information about the store manager?" Cao Yang said.

Zhou Deng nodded. "I have collected some information, but it's very little. I only know that the store manager appeared at the market in Taiping Town at that time. As for where the Peace Hotel was at that time, no one knows."

"This is already very good news. At least it proves that the store manager is not a person of our time, but a figure from at least forty years ago." Cao Yang looked solemn.

The power of "Store Manager" Lin Yuan is almost incomprehensible, almost beyond everyone's cognition. He is similar to an immortal god, and does not look like a ghost rider or an evil spirit at all.

The headquarters has never stopped speculating about Lin Yuan's identity.

But since there is no conclusive evidence, everyone has their own speculations, but no one can convince anyone else.

But now the news they got in this round of virtual games can prove one thing:
The "store manager" Lin Yuan was at least once a ghost rider, and his age must be at least sixty and above!

"Is it possible that we are mistaking it? The store manager appears inside, but he enters the game as a GM, not representing some kind of past?" Zhang Lei put forward a hypothesis.

Cao Yang shook his head. "The manager's strength is hard to guess, and he likes to stir up trouble. But he abides by the rules, and will not break the rules he made himself. This can be seen from Boss Lin. It's the same in virtual games. It's based on reality, so naturally there will be other factors mixed in. At most, it's like the time when Dahai City brought Zhang Xianguang and others into the game, and brought Boss Liu and other older people from Taiping Town into the game."

"Let's put this news aside for now. When we get back, we'll gather the think tanks at the headquarters to analyze it together. The most important thing right now is the content of our game this time. I really want to know who the BOSS is." Li Leping was obviously feeling aggrieved.

After he said this, the other three also became more motivated.

They are not newcomers who are participating in e-sports rooms and virtual games for the first time. They have considerable experience and can be called old players!
But this round of the game is different.

They didn't even know who the BOSS was, which made the four of them feel a little uncomfortable, so it was important to figure this out.

As for the method?

"Are we going to ask Boss Lin directly?" Zhou Deng had already stood up when he spoke.

Cao Yang shook his head, "Of course not. There is no need to ask Boss Lin specifically, just go to the Points Mall and you will know."

"So that's how it is. That's right, I almost forgot about it."

Zhou Deng slapped his forehead and suddenly said to Li Leping, "Captain Li, there is something I forgot to tell you. Your body was recycled after your death and made into a paper man by the owner of a paper-making shop. You know what, when you were a paper man, your smile was really creepy."

Li Leping: “…Haha!”
