I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 381: Reckless is just one word, the most realistic anchor point

"Now you can tell me your situation. As long as you tell the truth, I promise to let you go this time."

When the man was completely unable to move, Wei Jing put forward his own conditions, but what responded to him was not panic and an answer, but the man's mocking look.

"Is this your power? It's really terrifying. It almost restrained me. Unfortunately, my husband and I are one and the same. Your little power is not enough."

The man's voice was extremely cold.

Under the suppression of Wei Jing's nine suppression places, ink still flowed out of his body, and the already surging stream also splashed waves, and continued to climb up along the man's body.

In a moment, the man seemed to merge with the stream, more like a water man standing on the water.

However, the water around him was pitch black, a new effect produced by the fusion of ink and stream water, and the ghost's suppression of him had no effect at all.

"Your power is terrifying. If it could be made into money, it would be at least a dozen dollars. Considering your undeserved kindness just now, I will keep the money you made."

The ink is surging.

The originally calm stream began to boil completely, and like a raging flood, it continued to rush towards the houses on both sides.

These houses in the ghost town of Huanggang Village are just old wooden houses. They look like dilapidated houses and seem like they will fall down with a single gust of wind. However, in front of the surging stream, they are extremely resilient and show no signs of being washed away.

But the stream was getting bigger and bigger, and soon it was half a meter deep.

Moreover, the streams were constantly being stained black by the man's ink. The stench emanating from the already turbid streams became increasingly strong, and the air around them became extremely cold, as if they had suddenly turned from summer to winter.

The place where Wei Jing was located was also surrounded by streams, which constantly washed over him.

He did not dodge, but stood there quietly, feeling the spiritual power coming from the stream, frowning slightly, "He is eroding my ghost domain, Zhang Lei, it's time for you to take action."

As long as the ghost domain is not completely suppressed, Wei Jing in the ghost domain is completely immortal, but at the same time, if his nine suppression places cannot suppress the opponent, he has almost no other means and needs assistance.

Zhang Lei did not answer, but appeared next to the man the next moment, with his clothes on his chest torn open. The parasitic head opened its eyes, and flames spread under the skin, like a demon returning from hell.

The evil ghost opened its mouth wide and bit the man.

There was no suspense at all. The bite directly tore off half of the man's body, but the remaining half turned directly into a pool of water and fell into the stream.

"So simple?" Zhang Lei was a little surprised. Feeling the increased spiritual power in his body, his face looked very solemn.

"It's not that simple. This person may have merged with the stream beneath his feet. Can you drink up all the water in the stream?" Wei Jing asked.

This is the ghost domain of Huanggang Village. Although he is unable to completely restrict the stream and has even begun a supernatural confrontation, he is still very clear about everything that happens in the ghost domain.

Zhang Lei's attack just now seemed to be effective, but in fact it had almost no impact on the stream.

Not far away, another person made of ink and stream water emerged from the water. A man's voice came from inside, "You have a good vision, but unfortunately your strength is a little lacking."

Wei Jing said: "You are so arrogant, thinking that you are superior, but in fact you are just a poor fellow trapped here by me. If you want to waste time, then waste time. I want to see how long you can hold on with this spiritual power that does not belong to you."

The man was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "My ink is not so delicious. If you dare to swallow it, you must be prepared to be dyed into my color."

Wei Jing quickly looked at Zhang Lei.

However, Zhang Lei did not show any abnormality. It was just that the fire in his body became brighter, which was a manifestation of burning spirits. "This little ink is not enough. Would you like some more?"

The man said, "Okay, let's see who can outlast the other."

The stream water had not yet completely erupted, and the man was obviously not an alien, so Wei Jing was confident that he could continue to fight with him, but he felt very heavy in his heart.

He was just an unknown young man in the old street of Taiping Town, but he was able to withstand the attacks from two captain-level players, him and Zhang Lei, and finally dragged the situation into a confrontation.

Although the other party's ability to preserve his life was too strong, Wei Jing still felt a little worried about the current situation in Taiping Town.

"Will we waste a few more ghosts this time?"

The two people who originally wanted to use the ghosts in the Ghost Lake to improve their strength have completely trapped themselves here, while Li Leping, Liu San and Zhou Deng have also entered Taiping Town.

Outside the old street is the area where ordinary people live. After they entered, they found quite a few people staring at them in the room.

"They are just some ordinary people. It turns out they were hiding in the room. No wonder my paper man didn't find them." Liu San said.

Zhou Deng looked puzzled. "I remember that this place should have been cleared out after the last game, so the people in the town were hostile to us. Why are there so many people now? And they look very similar to the previous people."

"There are many ghost riders here, and they are all very powerful. It is normal for things to happen that we don't understand. Now don't cause any more trouble. Entering the ghost street is the most important thing. It's best to go to the hotel and take a look. Maybe you can find the trace of the manager there."

Compared with the points, Li Leping is more concerned about the traces of the store manager Lin Yuan in this era. "You didn't dare to go to the paper-making shop before, and you didn't even dare to go to the hotel?"

"It's not that I don't dare, it's that I don't have time to go!" Zhou Deng emphasized this point, and then said, "The boss and the underboss of the hotel were all there. If I had gone in at that time, I would definitely have been caught."

"So you were caught anyway, what's the difference?" Li Leping said.

puff!
Zhou Deng felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and could only stammer, "I don't know either. The old man in the ancestral hall is clearly gone, and who knows that boy is not simple either."

He was still very confident at that time.

Ever since he entered the Peace Hotel, his ability to steal things has become stronger and stronger. Not to mention supernatural items, he can even steal supernatural attacks and even ghosts.

Of course, that assumes he can afford to steal supernatural attacks and steal ghosts.

When he was in the ancestral hall, he wanted to steal He Liansheng's ghost, which was a ghost that could block vision. If he could have the ability of this ghost, it would be much easier for him to steal things in the future and he could try to avoid being discovered by people or ghosts.

But who would have thought that the horror of this ghost was beyond his imagination, so that he failed to steal and was attacked by the ghost instead, and was completely suppressed.

If Liu San hadn't rescued him, he would still be hanging on the tree now. It's embarrassing to think about it.

"It's better to take it easy. Don't be too reckless even in the game. Look at Liu San. He is still a paper man even when he is with us. I don't know where his real body is hiding. This is only in the game. If it were in reality, I would probably be the first one to take action against him." Li Leping said.

Liu San knew that Li Leping was expressing his dissatisfaction. "If this were in real life, I wouldn't be so special. In this game, you can do whatever you want to get points. What do you think, Captain Li?"

Li Leping said: "I hope so."

Several people had been to the ghost street of Taiping Ancient Town in real life, and the same was true in the game, so they found the location easily and invaded in through the ghost domain.

The moment they entered the Ghost Street, Zhou Deng disappeared, apparently hiding himself.

Liu San and Li Leping had no objection to this. They looked at each other and walked forward along the Ghost Street.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the doors of the surrounding shops were half-closed. There was basically no movement, and it seemed as if no one was home.

However, from the half-open door, one could almost sense a cold and terrifying aura.

After walking a few steps, Li Leping stopped and said, "This small hotel should be the one where the manager once stayed. I'm going to go in and take a look."

Liu San said: "I want to go to the paper-making shop to have a look."

"Okay, let's split up." Li Leping was not worried. After all, Liu San brought a paper figure, so there would be no problem even if it was broken in the paper-making shop.

"By the way, help me check if there is a paper doll that looks exactly like me. If there is, let me know."

"no problem."

After agreeing, Liu San continued to walk along the street to find the paper-making shop.

Li Leping looked back at a corner, then strode into the hotel door. As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man standing at the door with a fake smile on his face.

paper man?

Li Leping lowered his head to glance at the ground, then retracted his gaze and looked towards the counter, where a young man was sitting, looking at him with interest.

"Boss?" Li Leping asked.

The person sitting here is naturally Boss Liu. He had come back with He Liansheng and originally wanted to go see Ah Heng.

However, Aheng’s mask stall was closed and remained shut.

He had no choice but to go back to the store. Old Liu had just gone out and asked him to look after it first. He had no idea at first, but after seeing Li Leping, he suddenly understood what Old Liu meant.

In other words, this is what the shop owners in the entire old street mean.

Experience!

A few months ago in this world, during the last virtual game, the strength of Li Leping and others was also figured out by Old Liu from the paper-making shop.

As for strength, yes.

But it is only pretty good among the younger generation, not even at the top. How about the peak Taiping Town?

They can only rely on suicide attacks during big markets to create panic among the people, but they don't have much hard power.

What we really need to worry about is whether there is some terrible existence behind this so-called headquarters hiding behind this group of young people. As long as it is not these people who come out, but just some young people, Lao Liu and his men will not easily intervene.

"If I hadn't lived for decades, I might really think that all these old veterans had left. When Yin'er was a teenager, we all felt the same way. But at that time, there was only one Yin'er in the town."

Boss Liu sighed in his heart, "This kind of love from the elders is really a bit heavy. But I can't show it yet. Who knows where Old Liu and the others are hiding to spy on me. These old people are really boring."

While Boss Liu was deep in thought, Li Leping had already cast his gaze over and was ready to take action at any time. However, to his surprise, Boss Liu obviously recognized him but had no intention of taking action.

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Leping was happy to avoid taking action. "I would like to ask, does the young boss know any news about the Peace Hotel?"

Boss Liu was obviously stunned and looked at Li Leping in surprise.

He knew the identities of Li Leping and others. Why did this group of players suddenly want to find out the news about the Peace Hotel when they entered the game without killing anyone to earn points?
Could it be that……

Boss Liu had some terrible guesses before, and this guess was indirectly confirmed when Li Leping asked this question.

"It seems that the headquarters' data also contains records about the Peace Hotel of this era, and even the manager's records. Is that why they came to inquire about the news forty years ago? This is indeed a very resource-saving method, but the meaning behind it is really shocking."

Boss Liu lowered his eyes slightly to avoid revealing his thoughts. "This is a hotel. If you want to stay here, it's three dollars, very cheap."

Li Leping didn't mind not getting an answer. "Three dollars? It seems that the price of this accommodation is unified, and the manager is not charging randomly. I can pay, but I want to know the news about Peace Hotel and the manager Lin Yuan. Forget about staying in the hotel. How about it?"

"can."

Boss Liu stretched out his hand, and his meaning was very clear:

Give the money first, then talk about things!

Li Leping shook his head and said, "I need to know the news first. In this street, I will definitely not be able to leave if I don't pay. The young boss shouldn't care."

"If you are a normal customer, then it's fine. But... you have died once, and now you appear in front of me again. Who knows if you will die again? I am not interested in what you want to do. As long as you give me money, everything will be fine." Boss Liu said bluntly.

Now, he just doesn't want anyone to know his true identity.

"It doesn't seem to make sense. In that case, I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Leping's eyes became dazed, and his breath became even colder and more weird, as if at this moment he was no longer a human being, but a terrifying ghost.

At the same time, a cloud of smoke drifted out, making the hotel lobby unclear.

Li Leping did not hold back at all when he started fighting, and acted as if he was a revived evil spirit. The noise was so loud that Boss Liu's eyes twitched.

"This kid, what's the matter with me?"

Having said that, Boss Liu understood what Li Leping meant.

This kid guessed some of the situations on the street, so he wanted to make a quick decision and catch him before those peeping older generations took action, and force out the information of the store manager.

pity.

"You underestimate me."

Boss Liu snorted coldly and allowed the smoke to envelop him. Although he was completely surrounded by ghost smoke, the smoke could not get close to Boss Liu.

In this smoky ghostland, he was like a black hole, allowing countless ghost smokes to pour in without any effect.

But this is not enough.

A sense of crisis came over me. A dark shadow in the smoke was getting closer and closer, looking for something.

Boss Liu whispered, "You are such a tough cookie. The youngsters of this era are really scary. Let me see how powerful you are. My supernatural powers are not just limited to space."

……

Liu San had just taken a few steps when he turned around and looked in the direction of the hotel.

I saw smoke pouring out of the hotel, as if it was on fire, but the strange thing was that the smoke did not spread out after it came out, as if an invisible force bound it around the hotel and could not affect other shops.

"Have any old fellows taken action? But this is just to provide a fair battlefield. You are such an arrogant bunch. I hope you can keep doing this and give me some room to move."

Liu San turned around and continued looking for the trace of the paper-making shop.

After walking past more than a dozen shops, Liu San finally found the paper-making shop. The door of the shop was wide open, but when he looked inside, he could only see darkness and could not see what was inside at all.

There were two paper figures standing at the door, one male and one female, as if welcoming guests.

Liu San walked straight over. He had some doubts in his mind that needed to be clarified, as well as some grudges that needed to be settled. But as soon as he reached the door, the two paper figures blocked his way.

No words were spoken, but the attitude was clear:
No entry!
"How can you not let customers in? Don't you even want to do business?" Liu San did not force his way in, but just said coldly to the paper-making shop.

No one came out of the paper-making shop, but an old voice came out, "I am an old man, I do business with living people, and I do business with resurrected dead people, but I don't do business with paper people. Young man, you shouldn't be here, and you shouldn't come in. Go back."

"What if I insist on coming in?" Liu San said coldly.

A faint sigh was heard, and no one said anything else, except for the paper man standing at the door who remained motionless.

"Go away!"

Liu San walked over, tore off the arms of the two paper figures, and walked into the shop.

……

"You guys are so reckless. Do you really think this is a game where you can do whatever you want and are not afraid of death? You haven't earned any points yet. You don't really plan to come here for nothing?"

Seeing the actions of Li Leping and Liu San, the people hiding in the dark were dumbfounded.

He came here to play games and get game points, but Li Leping and Liu San went straight to the ghost street to fight with the store owner.

Even though Zhou Deng is a big spender, he has never thought of playing like this.

"My dear brother, it seems that there is a disagreement between you two. If you have any emotions, you can talk to me. I have some experience in consoling people."

An old voice came from behind him. Zhou Deng's body stiffened. He turned around slowly and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

He saw three elderly men in simple clothes standing side by side in front of him. The one who was speaking was the elderly man in the lead, who had a kind smile, and he knew this man.

"Boss Liu, I didn't steal anything from your store today." Zhou Deng raised his hands.

When facing He Liansheng and Boss Liu, Zhou Deng felt that he could still struggle a bit, but when facing Boss Liu's father, Lao Liu, he could only give in.

no way.

He had tried it in the last round of the game, but Old Liu's strength was much more terrifying than Boss Liu's. Even his most proud method could not steal anything from Old Liu.

What's more, there are two old men here who are obviously in the same group as Boss Liu. Their strength is at least equal to that of Boss Liu, which is why they act together.

In this case, there is nothing shameful in admitting defeat.

"Don't worry, I have no hostility towards you, of course the premise is that you don't attack the town. Now I want to know something, I believe that little brother will not let me down, right?" Old Liu's smile became brighter.

The tone of the voice was gentle, but it sounded completely different in Zhou Deng's ears:

If I ask you a question, just answer it, otherwise, haha!
"I can answer some questions, but there are some I can't answer. It's not that I don't want to, but there are restrictions here. Once I say it, I will die immediately." Zhou Deng pointed to his head.

Lao Liu nodded, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, don't worry, any restrictions have loopholes, just cooperate with us."

Zhou Deng: "..."

I came here to play games, but the game NPCs were the ones asking me for information?
"It seems that this game is indeed not fake, and the people here are not pure NPCs. Maybe... we really traveled to the past?"

……

There were many big dramas going on in the ghost street, but no one noticed that Lin Yuan was beside Li Leping and Boss Liu, in the paper-making shop, and beside Zhou Deng and Old Liu.

He is like a viewer watching a blockbuster movie through VR reality.

"Sure enough, it was the right thing to let these people start interacting. They actually imagined the possibility of time travel. If there are no major problems with this experiment, we can try to get more people into the game in the future, not just as game players, but as time travelers."

"In this case, I should appear more often in the game to deepen my traces and make more people believe that I appeared more than forty years ago."

"It's a pity that there are too few living people in this ghost street, so the effect is not great. I still hope that players like Zhou Deng can interact more with these people to stabilize the game scene."

Lin Yuan was planning in his mind when he suddenly remembered something. "I should be the most real existence in this game. If I interact with these virtual characters, what effect will I get? Will I be used as an anchor to completely fix these characters?"

You can try.

So, when Zhou Deng was about to run out of words to say, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind Lao Liu: "Boss Lin!!!"
