I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 383 It Should Not Be About Him in This Age

Lin Yuan walked on the empty old street and did not try to enter any of the shops.

"Most of the shops are empty, with no one inside, and the shops are different from the streets. Everything on the streets is very real, with details in place, without mosaics or anything like that. Boss Liu and his friends have lived here for decades, so their memories of the streets are very real. But their memories of the situations in the shops are not that deep, and rushing in would lead to unnecessary changes."

After walking on the street for a while, Lin Yuan no longer wanted to continue shopping, so he turned around and left the old street.

After he left, the tense body of the masked old man finally relaxed. It was obvious that Lin Yuan's presence put him under great pressure.

He had followed Lin Yuan quietly all the way before, just to see Lin Yuan's purpose of coming to the old street.

I didn't expect that Lin Yuan just went to the Chinese medicine shop and left. Could it be that he came to ask for medicine?

It doesn't even look like it.

Unable to figure it out, the masked old man could only return with worry. When passing by the Chinese medicine shop, he took a look inside and then stopped.

Zhang Bohua walked out from inside.

Compared with his actual old age, Zhang Bohua looked much younger even though he was still blind at this time.

After all, there is a gap of forty years. At this time, Zhang Bohua has few white hairs, and his body is relatively straight. He looks younger than the masked old man.

After a brief "eye contact", the masked old man continued walking forward. He wanted to return to his shop to see that bad boy of his.

Although Zhang Bohua was blind, he seemed to be able to see. He "watched" the masked old man leave, and then whispered to himself: "In this era, I should go meet some old friends. Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains."

He walked out of the Chinese medicine shop, holding a very old wooden box in his hand. The box was not big, square, and looked ordinary, just right in his hand.

There were almost no people on the street, and he easily left the old street and came into reality.

There were not many people in Taiping Town. He kept walking along a certain road. Although he was blind, he did not walk slowly at all.

The distance of several kilometers took less than ten minutes.

From here, we can vaguely see Zhongzhou City in the distance. As long as we walk in this direction, we should be there in no time.

But Zhang Bohua stopped and raised his hand in the air in front of him.

There is clearly nothing here, but when I touch it, I get a very special feeling, as if there is a transparent barrier blocking this place.

When Zhang Bohua touched it, a circle of ripples appeared in the air, spreading out in all directions with the touch point as the center.

A layer of barrier that was originally invisible appeared at this time.

"What a big move, they actually sealed off the entire Taiping Town. Is it the manager's ghost? If it is really an invasion back to the past forty years ago, it is understandable that there are such restrictions."

Zhang Bohua picked up the medicine box, turned around and walked in another direction, which was exactly the direction where the ripples were spreading.

Until the top of a hill, Zhang Bohua stopped because he "saw" a familiar figure.

"The owner of the Chinese medicine shop? Are you here to watch the fun too?" Lin Yuan was standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the valley below with great interest.

This is where Wei Jing, Zhang Lei and Xiao Qian from the Ghost Bank fought.

Zhang Bohua came over and stood beside Lin Yuan. "I wanted to go find some old friends, but this place seems to be blocked. I'll just watch a play to kill time. But I'm blind, so I can't see much."

Test?
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You were able to walk here from the old street, which is not something a blind old man can do. Speaking of which, I have heard of you from other people, Ghost Doctor Zhang Bohua, Mr. Zhang, right? Many people have received your kindness."

Zhang Bohua said, "That's a bit unfair. You've heard about my story, but I don't know about yours."

"Hahahaha! Old Zhang, Old Zhang, if you want to find out about me, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Lin Yuan originally wanted to implant his own memories of the past into the cognition of these elderly people.

But a business that is pursued is not a business at all.

If he really took the initiative to come forward and introduce himself, Zhang Bohua and the others probably wouldn't believe a word of it. Instead, they would doubt his purpose and the authenticity of the information.

Therefore, Lin Yuan’s main focus now is to attract those who are willing to take the bait.

In the Peace Hotel, he has established himself as the manager. With this influence, he can sit back and relax, and people like Zhang Bohua can take the initiative to ask questions and use their imagination.

Although Zhang Bohua has been through a lot, he is a little impatient when it comes to the store manager's affairs. "I am obsessed with appearances."

Lin Yuan continued to look towards the valley below. At this time, the valley was completely surrounded by the ghost domain of the ghost catcher, that is, Huanggang Village, but it could not block Lin Yuan's sight.

The fight continues.

Wei Jing has nine places to suppress evil spirits, but he is completely powerless when facing Xiao Qian, the owner of a ghost bank who is combined with the supernatural power of Ghost Lake.

The one who took the initiative changed from Wei Jing to Zhang Lei.

After Zhang Lei mastered the ghost furnace fire, the power of the ghost eater was released. Every time he attacked, he could tear off a piece of Xiao Qian's ink body.

Unfortunately it has no effect.

Xiao Qian can use the lake water and his own spiritual power to replenish himself at any time. It is not even a minor injury. It is like another way of restarting, and it does not require too much cost.

Wei Jing and Zhang Lei clearly possess extremely terrifying supernatural powers, but they don't have a good way to deal with small amounts of money.

It just so happens that this Xiao Qian is the one in the memories of Boss Liu, He Liansheng and the Faceless Man. It is still unclear whether he has fully exerted his strength, but he has left the two captain-level players helpless, leading to a stalemate and confrontation.

This will continue unless both parties are willing to stop and rest and fight again later.

But it is obvious that Wei Jing and Zhang Lei do not have such an idea, and Xiao Qian does not have such an idea either.

"The bank's young boss is going crazy. If the news of his coming here is leaked, I'm afraid there will be no place for him in the old street. Originally, it was okay with only the two young men. As long as time passed, Xiao Qian could have dragged them to death. Unfortunately, we are now at the scene. This fight is meaningless."

Although Zhang Bohua was blind, he had a very clear and accurate grasp of the situation.

Just as he said, Wei Jing and Zhang Lei no longer had the idea of ​​continuing the confrontation, but Xiao Qian kept dragging it on. But now Xiao Qian wanted to stop, but Wei Jing and Zhang Lei were very worried that this guy was pretending, and they did not dare to release the restrictions of the ghost realm easily.

The stalemate continues.

"Trust between people is ultimately a huge mountain that is difficult to cross," Zhang Bohua sighed.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you targeting me? My last name is Lin, Lin Yuan. I am just an unknown young man. I opened a small restaurant in the countryside. Since the business was not good, I came out to see how other people run their restaurants and learn from their advanced experience. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would be so alert. It's my fault."

"Some things have happened in the town recently, so we need to be more vigilant. But we have always been very friendly to our friends. I don't know where Mr. Lin's store is, but I would like to go around and take a look when I have time." Zhang Bohua said.

He didn't know why he was chosen by the "store manager" and sent into this virtual game.

Or maybe there was something wrong with the supernatural power of the Peace Hotel, so he became some kind of stowaway and entered here without the manager's knowledge?
Whatever the reason, it doesn’t really matter.

Now that he was here, Zhang Bohua had only one goal, which was to find out what the "store manager" was like forty years ago.

Such a terrifying existence, if it had appeared a long time ago.

But these top ghost riders of the Republic of China period have not yet discovered that this is a very dangerous thing.

He is worried too.

If there is a manager of the Peace Hotel, will there be other terrifying existences hiding in the dark and watching everything?
Regardless, make sure to get this clear.

Zhang Bohua's purpose just happened to coincide with Lin Yuan's idea.

"The hotel I opened is called Peace Hotel. If Mr. Zhang wants to go there, he can get there with this business card." Lin Yuan took out a business card from his pocket.

It is called a business card, but it is actually just a small card.

The words "Peace Hotel" are written on the front, and there is a colorful pattern of the Peace Hotel on the back.

Zhang Bohua took the business card and immediately felt a mysterious power. "I understand now. Boss Lin, you opened your store in a remote place, in a mysterious place. No wonder your business is not good."

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "There is no other way. The world was too chaotic before, business was not easy to do, and I was often harassed. I could only choose to stay away from the world. I have been living off my savings for so many years. If I don't open the door to do business, I might go bankrupt. Fortunately, the world is getting better and better, and doing business should be easier than before."

before?

Harassment?

Stay away from the world?

Although there are only a few short words, the amount of information contained in them, or the space for Zhang Bohua to imagine, is too great.

The fight below was still going on, but Zhang Bohua's thoughts had already drifted away.

"If we talk about chaos, the most recent one was a few decades ago, when the country almost fell. In other words, the Peace Hotel and its manager at least existed in that era, which was only a few years later than our era, at most a dozen years, at most only one era later."

"No, no. If that were true, I would have no memory of the Peace Hotel." "There are two possibilities. One is that the Peace Hotel was too weak at the time, and the manager's ability could be ignored. In that era when geniuses emerged, he was not outstanding at all, and naturally no one paid attention to him. It was not until later that the manager had an opportunity and grew to such a terrifying level in this era."

"Another possibility is that the store manager and the Peace Hotel existed in the past even further back than our time. They just didn't want to experience the chaos of war, so they have been hiding in the dark and have never appeared in the world."

"And they're just living off their savings. No wonder the Peace Hotel changes every day. Is it because the previous supernatural power is lost, so they're trying to find the supernatural puzzle again? It's just that the Peace Hotel's puzzle is too sloppy, or too inclusive. Ghost Lake, starving ghosts, knocking ghosts, ghost messengers, etc., these evil ghosts that have nothing to do with the Peace Hotel, were actually forcibly incorporated into the puzzle. It's a bit like... being so hungry that they don't choose what to eat. But this way, it can be explained."

"Because I have been away from the world for too long, I am like an ordinary person who has been hungry for several days. When I see food, even if I know that overeating is not good, I will eat desperately just to fill my stomach! The Peace Hotel is the same, and it is too scary and tolerant, so any evil spirits I encounter now may be forcibly incorporated into the puzzle by it."

"Since those evil spirits are puzzle pieces, then we, the ghost riders staying at the Peace Hotel, are also the puzzle pieces it is interested in. It's just that we still have self-awareness, so it is waiting for the moment when the evil spirits revive after our death. Just like Li Qingzhi, there is still a trace of consciousness in his body, so he was not forcibly included in the puzzle piece?"

"That's not right. If they are waiting for us to die, then our physical condition is getting better, and even our life span is reversing. How do you explain this?"

Looking at Zhang Bohua's expression of deep thought, which sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, Lin Yuan was very satisfied.

"It's good to pursue victory, but too much talk will lead to mistakes. I will always be skeptical of information given by others. But if it is something you make up in your own mind, it will be more credible and I won't doubt it. Zhang Bohua, Zhang Bohua, I hope you won't let me down."

Zhang Bohua thought for a long time and wanted to try again, but he found that Lin Yuan had left at some point and disappeared without a trace.

He stroked the Peace Hotel business card in his hand, and a way to get to the Peace Hotel came to his mind.

That is to stimulate this business card through supernatural power, and the business card will guide the path to the Peace Hotel from an unknown supernatural place to invade reality, and lead the person who has the business card to the Peace Hotel.

Just when Zhang Bohua was about to take action.

"careful!"

Wei Jing's low and anxious voice sounded, and he pulled Zhang Bohua up, wanting to take this blind old man who appeared here for some unknown reason away.

But he rushed too fast and used all his strength, but not only did he fail to take Zhang Bohua away, but he was almost dislocated by the powerful force.

At this time he stopped and looked at Zhang Bohua with a serious expression, his eyes full of horror and heaviness.

He is a humanoid ghost who controls one of the ghost's arms and has nine suppression quotas. In reality, he can basically solve all supernatural incidents easily.

Nine places for mindless suppression are enough to deal with most of the evil spirits.

Including the ghost rider.

There is no ghost rider in this world who can control nine evil ghosts. With his current strength, anyone who dares to come into direct contact with him will only end up being suppressed.

However, this blind old man was not affected by the ghost's suppression effect at all.

He had thought that this was an ordinary old man who just got lost here. In order to prevent him from being attacked, he wanted to take him away.

But now?
Even the ink and stream water that kept flowing from the ground bypassed the old man and could not get close.

Xiao Qian had also come close, still in the state of an ink man, but the moment he saw the old man, he took off the magical package, revealing a body with many corpse spots, like a corpse that had been dead for several days.

"Boss Zhang, it's great that you're willing to take action. These two guys came to the town to cause trouble, they don't deserve to die!" Xiao Qian's words were full of murderous intent.

Zhang Bohua let go of Wei Jing's arm and said slowly, "I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Just go, without any hesitation.

Xiao Qian's eyes flickered wildly, as if he was going to attack Zhang Bohua at the next moment, but he finally held back and just lowered his head to glance at the stream on the ground with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Wei Jing and Zhang Lei looked at each other and took the opportunity to leave quietly.

When they reached a safe place, Zhang Lei asked, "That old man looked familiar. Did you notice?"

Wei Jing frowned and said, "I've seen it too?"

"It should be said that anyone who has been to the Peace Hotel should have had the opportunity to see him. Have you forgotten Zhang Bohua who lived in room 203, the blind old man who prescribed medicine for the store manager and Liu Qingqing?" Zhang Lei reminded.

Wei Jing was stunned for a moment.

He really had no impression of it, but since Zhang Lei said so, it must have been confirmed.

"It seems that this is indeed the era of forty years ago. More and more familiar faces are appearing. But this Zhang Bohua, wasn't he in Zhongjiang City before? Why did he come to Taiping Town in Zhongzhou City?"

"Not sure. This era is too strange to us, and it has too many secrets."

"What do we do now? Should we continue trying to improve?"

"The ghost riders here are too terrifying. Our strength is still too weak for this era. It is really hard to imagine that Taiping Town forty years ago would be so terrifying. I don't know how this place became so desolate, but this time our goal has changed. It is not to gain points, but to understand the secrets of this era. Perhaps this will be our greatest gain."

"I see. Let's go meet up with Li Leping and the others first. I hope nothing has happened to them."

After discussing it, the two went to the old street of Taiping Town together, planning to meet up with Li Leping, Liu San and Zhou Deng first, and then tell them what happened here.

If you don't have enough strength, you can only choose to give in.

only……

"This game is too difficult. Are the ghost riders of this era really that strong? No wonder the evil spirits have only revived in recent years. There are so many terrifying creatures in just one ancient town. Those evil spirits really can't cause any trouble."

Lin Yuan had always been keeping an eye on their condition.

"It doesn't matter whether this era is scary or not, but you won't get many points in this game. Anyway, it's easier for you to imprison evil spirits now, so just treat it as a training of your psychological endurance."

Lin Yuan had no intention of showing up again to make his presence known.

As mentioned before, his appearance can only be covert, and he cannot hang around in front of this group of people at any time, otherwise it is likely to arouse suspicion, instead of becoming an important target they are pursuing like now.

However, the greatest effect of these new-age captains is to improve his personality in real life.

If one really wants to implant one's existence into the past, one still has to rely on some elderly people who are still alive in this era. This is true for Boss Liu, the Faceless Man, and even more so for Zhang Bohua.

"In addition to Zhang Bohua, there is also Meng Xiaodong, who is also a good tool. But I have to deal with them one by one. First, I have to make Zhang Bohua believe in my existence, just like I am trying to conquer him..."

Lin Yuan suddenly frowned. "I'm actually trying to capture Zhang Bohua? An old man?"

Zhang Bohua didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking, and he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of Taiping Town and the headquarters.

As one of the "travelers", Zhang Bohua also knows the significance of players, so he doesn't take the information of this world too seriously.

The moment players appear, things no longer develop in the direction of history.

But the store manager's existence is real.

Zhang Bohua played with the business card in his hand. Supernatural power surged, and soon an extremely thick white mist emerged from the card. In the white mist, a winding bluestone path emerged, invading from an unknown supernatural place.

Zhang Bohua was not surprised by this method.

For the ghost riders of their time, it was difficult to achieve this level, but it was not too high. There were at least a handful of ghost riders who could do this.

The moment the path solidified, Zhang Bohua walked directly on it, and then disappeared without a trace along with the white mist and the path.

tread!
tread!tread!
The path was empty, with only the sound of Zhang Bohua's footsteps. He walked a few steps and then stopped, looking up slightly. "Is this the Peace Hotel? It really looks like it has just been revived, and it's very simple."

This mysterious place is surrounded by white fog.

There is no bus stop, no Ghost Lake or Fish Pond, no commemorative coin exchange office, no paper sedan chair or paper bearers. There is only a three-story building, the Peace Hotel with a flashing neon sign.

The door of the Peace Hotel was ajar, as if it had not yet opened for business.

Zhang Bohua walked straight in.

……

In the early morning, Zhang Bohua woke up from his sleep, stretched himself in the room filled with the scent of sandalwood, and murmured, "I haven't had such a sound sleep for a long time."

Benedict!
Benedict! Benedict!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and this frequency... The door opened, and Meng Xiaodong appeared at the door with a basket on her shoulder. She looked Zhang Bohua up and down, "You seem a little different today, did something happen last night?"

Zhang Bohua moved aside and said, "Come in and talk."

"it is good."

Meng Xiaodong walked in directly, watched Zhang Bohua close the door, and then said, "This is the area of ​​the Peace Hotel. Our every move may be under the observation of the store manager."

Zhang Bohua said in a deep voice: "I'm not hiding it from the store manager. I just have a question for you. You have been collecting supernatural materials all these years. Have you heard any rumors about the store manager and the Peace Hotel forty years ago?"
