I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 385 Yang Xiao sees through the truth, first stop: Dadong City

"You are really well prepared. You have even put on your wedding dress. Are you absolutely sure that you can win Brother Yuan's favor? Zhang Xianguang, are you too arrogant?"

Liu Qingqing threw the photo back with a mocking look on her face.

Her original worries disappeared at this moment because she knew the "store manager" very well. He was a man who was dedicated to his career.

Unless it can help the growth of Peace Hotel, the "manager" won't even look at it.

Just like Xiong Wenwen's mother at the beginning, if the "store manager" had not felt that the other party might have management talents, he might have left after meeting her once, just to give face to the poor child Xiong Wenwen.

What use is this bride who doesn’t even dare to show her face?

Don’t ever tell me that this is a lady from a wealthy family, waiting with a dowry so rich that even the “store manager” would be dazzled by it.

Zhang Xianguang took the photo and said, "Since it's a blind date, we have to meet each other in person to know the result. You are just employees of the Peace Hotel. Even if you have a certain position, you should not be qualified to make decisions for Boss Lin."

The truth hurts the most.

He Yuelian was fine, as her feelings towards the "store manager" were still within normal range, but Liu Qingqing felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart, and the look she gave Zhang Xianguang became dangerous.

Zhang Xianguang said calmly: "Want to fight? Sure, I won't fight back."

After saying that, he started ordering dishes. According to the rules of the Peace Hotel, no matter how much they disliked someone, as long as the "manager" did not say anything and the other person abided by the rules of the Peace Hotel, they, as employees of the Peace Hotel, had to receive the other person according to the rules of the hotel.

Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian looked at each other, then turned and left.

He Yuelian followed the rules of the Peace Hotel and asked Xiao An and Xiao Xi to entertain Zhang Xianguang and Yang Xiao. Naturally, Tong Qian and Fang Shiming were also busy.

"It seems that the store manager is really not in the store. We came at the wrong time."

After a serving of stir-fried pork came up, Yang Xiao started eating immediately. He came here just to eat for free, but he had no awareness of being a freeloader at all. Looking at his expression, it was obvious that he wanted to finish the dish.

Zhang Xianguang didn't care either.

Just a ghost, it means nothing to him now. In comparison, it would be best if Yang Xiao could maintain superficial peace with him.

He'll need some time.

As the manager of the Ghost Post Office, he cannot be killed as long as he does not leave the Ghost Post Office, but that does not mean he cannot be dealt with.

Tian Xiaoyue!
The second-generation manager of the Ghost Post Office. He was defeated by Zhang Xianguang in the end because of his disagreement with Zhang Xianguang's ideas. Although he did not die, his body was dismembered by Zhang Xianguang and stored in various places in the Ghost Post Office.

This state is more terrifying than death.

Moreover, compared with Tian Xiaoyue, Zhang Xianguang has now given most of his supernatural powers to Ling Yiguang, and his own strength is very weak.

If he had not been on good terms with Yang Xiao and received Yang Xiao's protection.

His identity may have been exposed long ago, because it is impossible for a weak person to pass the Ghost Post Office and become the character in the oil painting.

Even Yang Xiao was not clear about his current strength, because the clash between him and Yang Xiao took place in the world of ghost dreams. In the world of ghost dreams, he was a little proficient in fighting and kicking, and he still had considerable advantages against the ghost dreams that had not turned into dog dreams and could multiply infinitely from one to two, from two to four.

If he had a complete falling out with Yang Xiao, he wouldn't worry about what Yang Xiao could do to him.

But the people in other paintings are different.

So now, he and Yang Xiao are maintaining a fragile balance, and this balance is likely to be broken in the near future, so he must complete the plan while trying his best to maintain the balance.

Therefore, he didn't care at all about being eaten with food or something.

If he could even use the food from the Peace Hotel to make Yang Xiao work for him, he wouldn't mind inviting Yang Xiao to dinner every day.

But he didn't know the effect of the food here on people like Yang Xiao in the oil painting.

For someone like Yang Xiao, it is unlikely that he would act on impulse, and he would not use such a childish way to confront Zhang Xianguang.

Unless, there is a greater benefit.

The food at the Peace Hotel has the effect of enhancing the supernatural. In essence, the food is the supernatural parts of dismembered evil spirits, but with different forms of expression and tastes. The food is very pure and there will be no supernatural confrontation.

For ghost riders, they can enhance their own supernatural powers and reach a terrifying upper limit.

What about the existence in oil painting?

"As a person in the oil painting, I am a supernatural creature. I have no basis for existence in reality, so I cannot leave the oil painting world and return to reality. But the food in the Peace Hotel gave me an opportunity. Under normal circumstances, I would never be able to eat them. But under the rules of the Peace Hotel, I can eat them and use them as the basis for my... existence in reality!"

That's right!

The spirits left after the dismemberment of these evil ghosts, after being eaten by Yang Xiao, have become the basis for his existence in reality.

It has not been experimented with, otherwise if it is discovered by Zhang Xianguang, it will cause unnecessary accidents. It needs to be shown at the right time to have a decisive effect.

and……

Seeing Zhang Xianguang calmly not caring about him snatching the food, Yang Xiao felt a little confused. "As a person in the same oil painting, his strength is not inferior to mine. It is impossible for him not to notice the effect of these meals on us. But he is so indifferent. Is he stupid and rich, or is he... not a person in the oil painting at all?"

The gap between the two sides is not small.

The most intuitive point is his and Zhang Xianguang’s image in front of the “store manager”.

One is a robot and the other is a gorilla.

Yang Xiao already knew from Yang Jian what the gorilla represented in the Peace Hotel. It represented an alien creature that controlled the body of a ghost with human consciousness!

It's the ghost rider!
It is a living existence!
"I don't know what effect the food in the store has on the people in the oil painting. Since the food itself can exist in the oil painting, Zhang Xianguang's true identity must be different from mine. And there is perhaps only one type of person who can do this in a different identity in the Ghost Post Office, and that is... the administrator!"

Yang Xiao lowered his eyes and felt very heavy.

"What is the intention of an administrator hiding in an oil painting, who allows the Ghost Post Office to be in chaos and does nothing? And which one is the real Zhang Xianguang, the Zhang Xianguang in reality or the Zhang Xianguang in the Ghost Post Office? After clearing the Ghost Post Office once, you can leave the Ghost Post Office and leave your spirit body in the oil painting. You can also revive a person in the oil painting, and you can become the administrator of the Ghost Post Office. If my guess is correct, the Zhang Xianguang in the outside world is the one who was resurrected from the oil painting, and Zhang Xianguang has cleared the Ghost Post Office at least three times!"

With enough information, the truth becomes less difficult to guess.

But this truth made Yang Xiao extremely worried.

"I had previously discussed with Yang Jian that we would promote Sun Rui to the position of administrator, but now it seems that this is just a small matter. Zhang Xianguang's plot, the so-called Peach Blossom Spring Plan, is the real big trouble! Perhaps, time is running out."

Yang Xiao suddenly looked up and looked at Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang was also looking at him, his eyes were gentle and full of expectation. This look made Yang Xiao feel extremely heavy. "It seems that we need to have a good talk."

"Okay, but the prerequisite is that you can see the truth. Otherwise, a person in an oil painting is not qualified to participate in my plan." Zhang Xianguang's smile was gentle, but filled with unspeakable arrogance.

Yang Xiao didn't think anything was wrong.

"Without sufficient strength, I am indeed not qualified to participate in your plan, nor am I qualified to stop you."

This is not the place to talk. There are several ghost riders eating nearby, and He Yuelian, Xiao An and Xiao Xi are staring at them.

If we really discuss things here, it will only expose information and intelligence.

Neither Zhang Xianguang nor Yang Xiao wanted this to happen.

Therefore, this topic will only be discussed in detail after they return to the Ghost Post Office, in a secret place where no other people in the painting are present.

And now.

"Where did Boss Lin go? Can you tell us?" Zhang Xianguang really wanted to know the answer to this question.

He Yuelian's eyes flickered, "I can tell you what I know, but the information fee is three yuan."

"You're charging such a high price, it seems you don't know anything about Boss Lin. But you're very brave. When Boss Lin comes back, I'll ask him if there is such a rule in the store." Zhang Xianguang said.

He Yuelian sneered: "Whatever you want."

……

At the headquarters in Dajing City, Wei Jing and others called Cao Yanhua as soon as they returned to reality. Cao Yanhua was very surprised. "What's the matter that's so urgent? Why don't you just go back to the meeting room and talk?"

According to past practice, the next day after participating in the e-sports room virtual game, there will be a regular meeting to record what happened in the virtual game.

Especially since the last virtual game directly pushed the world background back to forty years ago, the headquarters paid more and more attention to this matter. The place where Wei Jing and the others returned was inside the headquarters.

Since most of the facilities in the headquarters are made of gold, the use of the ghost area is prohibited, but even walking there only takes a few minutes.

How serious is this matter that you can't even wait for a few minutes?
"The manager has left the Peace Hotel on a mysterious bus. His destination is unknown and needs to be monitored immediately." Wei Jing explained the situation in the shortest possible words, and he and others quickly rushed to the meeting room.

Cao Yanhua's expression suddenly changed. "The manager left the Peace Hotel? Why? Do you have any information?"

While asking, he also immediately arranged for Zhao Jianguo to handle the matter of monitoring the haunted bus. There was a satellite positioning phone from the headquarters on the haunted bus. As long as the haunted bus left the haunted place and appeared in reality, it would be monitored.

"With Lu Zhiwen and Qin Lao in the car, the store manager's whereabouts shouldn't be a big problem."

As they were talking, Wei Jing and his companions had already arrived at the meeting room. When they mentioned the reason why the "store manager" left the Peace Hotel, they all looked a little embarrassed.

"Last night's virtual game was too difficult. The timeline was a few months after the last round of games. We didn't gain anything from entering, except for some unimportant intelligence." Wei Jing said.

Zhou Deng took over the conversation, "The game is too difficult. After discussing it, we all agreed that we should talk to the store manager about this matter, report the intelligence, and try to reduce the difficulty of the game next time. This has happened before, and there were no accidents. The store manager also accepted our suggestions very well, but today it may be that there were too many of us, so we scared the store manager away."

Cao Yanhua's face darkened. "Scared away by you? Really... But it's not your fault. The game is too difficult, which is also a big problem for our exploration of history. You did the right thing, but you must be more careful in the future and don't scare the store manager away like you did today. It would be fine if he went to a spiritual place, since there are so many ghosts to accompany him. But if he came to reality, the white fog ghost area that covered at least one city would cause a lot of panic."

"Although the manager is scary, he now has the consciousness of an ordinary person and considers himself an ordinary restaurant owner. He should not hurt anyone and the harm he poses is extremely low. We just need to monitor him and make sure no one provokes him," said Li Jun.

Cao Yanhua sighed, "This is the only way."

This matter is naturally handled by the headquarters. The supernatural information network spread all over the country allows the headquarters to lock the supernatural bus in the shortest time possible and also to dispatch forces and resources as quickly and nearby as possible to carry out control and resources.

"I have stayed in Dajing City for too long and am ready to return to Dachuan City. Recently, two supernatural incidents have occurred in Dachuan City and I need to go back to deal with them." Li Le said.

I stayed at the headquarters at first because I was going to the Peace Hotel to participate in the e-sports room and virtual game activities.

There were only four vacancies at the time, but the number of people participating in the game exceeded four. In order to avoid conflicts among colleagues, he stayed and decided who would participate in the game every day.

But it's different now.

The "store manager" renovated a part of the nano-laboratory and created twenty e-sports rooms, so there was no need to compete with others for opportunities.

In this case, there is naturally no need for Li Leping to stay.

Cao Yanhua did not try to persuade him to stay. "Okay, it's time for you to go back. If anything happens, you can call for support from the headquarters."

Liu San also proposed to leave.

The only ones left were Wei Jing, Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng.

Wei Jing is the captain of the headquarters and one of the three captains of Dajing City. Zhang Lei and Zhou Deng have not yet been assigned to be responsible for a city, or the headquarters has no intention of sending them out.

The surveillance of the haunted bus is still going on, but nearly half a day has passed and no signal has been received.

Cao Yanhua was getting a little angry. "With Qin Lao and Lu Zhiwen here, the satellite positioning phone should not be damaged. Even if it is, Lu Zhiwen has another one on him. Could it be that the supernatural bus has been running in the supernatural place today?"

Just as he was worrying, Liu Xiaoyu shouted in surprise: "Deputy Minister, there is a signal!"

"Really? Where is the signal?" Cao Yanhua asked hurriedly.

Liu Xiaoyu took a look and said, "Dadong City!"

"Dadong City? Wang Chaling? Notify Wang Chaling immediately and tell him that the store manager has arrived in his city. Ask him to make good arrangements and make sure there are no conflicts!" Cao Yanhua made arrangements immediately.

Naturally, there is no need for Liu Xiaoyu to inform anyone about this matter.

As one of the captains of the headquarters, Wang Chaling naturally has a dedicated liaison officer, so she will be the one to notify everyone.

Zhao Jianguo said worriedly, "Wang Chaling has always been resistant to contact with the Peace Hotel. This time the manager showed up in his city. I hope nothing bad will happen."

The information and data of the Peace Hotel are open to the captains at the headquarters.

As the captain of the headquarters, Wang Chaling has been frequently retrieving information about the Peace Hotel and the store manager during this period, and naturally he is also keeping an eye on the Peace Hotel and the store manager.

However, he never entered the Peace Hotel.

Although no one has asked the reason, one can guess from this that Wang Chaling keeps his distance from the Peace Hotel.

Everyone understands this.

If possible, no one would be willing to contact an unreasonable and mysterious place like the Peace Hotel and put their life in the hands of others.

But there are very few who can do this.

Even Cao Yanhua has had contact with the "store manager" many times. If he were not just an ordinary person and the person in charge of the current headquarters, he would even want to enter the Peace Hotel and get a good understanding of the Peace Hotel's background.

"Dadong City has begun to be shrouded in white fog. The store manager should have gotten off the car." Liu Xiaoyu reminded.

Cao Yanhua immediately looked at the huge screen in the command center. On it was the signal sent back by the satellite, which happened to be the picture of Dadong City.

The originally prosperous Dadong City is now filled with white mist, like a fairyland in the clouds, or like... a chemical plant leak.

"Contact Lu Zhiwen immediately." Cao Yanhua ordered.

"Yes."

The call was quickly connected, and Lu Zhiwen's voice came from inside, "Deputy Minister, I am now walking around Dadong City with Boss Lin to see the scenery here. There is no danger."

"That's good, keep it up." Cao Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that the "store manager" was most likely listening nearby, he did not say anything about the supernatural circle, so as not to trigger the "store manager's" blocked words.

He doesn't want to be harmonized by the "store manager".

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiwen looked up at Lin Yuan, who was standing opposite him. He saw a sympathetic look on Lin Yuan's face. "It's really hard for you police officers. You have to answer work calls while traveling. But it is because of your hard work that ordinary people like us can survive in this chaotic era. Compared to us, you are the ones who are carrying the burden."

Lu Zhiwen was a little confused, not knowing why the "store manager" suddenly made such a comment.

But he reacted quickly and said immediately: "We are all serving our compatriots. It is also our duty. It is hard to say whether it is hard or not. How many people in this world do not have to work hard to live well?"

"That's true. Forget it, let's not talk about this heavy topic, let's take a look at Dadong City. We have been talking about organizing a tour group, but now it's the end of the month and there is no arrangement. If we don't arrange it, I'm really worried that the employees in the store will have some ideas."

This was something he had promised, so Lin Yuan would naturally not forget it. However, he had declined it for a few days, which made him feel a little guilty.

He will always remember how happy everyone was when the idea of ​​forming a tour group was first proposed.

Lu Zhiwen nodded, but did not give any suggestions. He just followed Lin Yuan quietly, like a little follower.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the country, Dadong City is very lively.

Even though there was white fog, it did not cause much commotion. Instead, many people were taking photos and checking in with their mobile phones, some were even recording videos, and some were live streaming. It was very lively.

Lin Yuan has been living in the white fog and has long been accustomed to life in the white fog. He is puzzled by the reaction of the citizens of Dadong City, but he likes this lively atmosphere very much.

“It seems that even in this chaotic era, there is still a stable order. This is all thanks to you.” Lin Yuan said with emotion.

Lu Zhiwen shook his head and nodded again, "I'm just a clerk, usually responsible for collecting and summarizing some files. The ones who really work hard are the person in charge of each city and the captain. They are responsible for the security of one or several cities, and they are usually on the front line facing danger. The credit should go to them."

That being said, there is no need to worry about the "store manager's" worldview being problematic.

In the perception of the "store manager", this is the era when monsters created by biotechnology experiments and wild beasts invade the city, and the person in charge and the captain are the leaders in fighting against these monsters and wild beasts.

So after listening to Lu Zhiwen's words, Lin Yuan was also in awe, "Everyone has his own role. They are heroes, but Officer Lu, you are also working behind the scenes to organize information. As long as it is for the protection of the people, you are a hero. By the way, who is the person in charge of this city? Is there a chance for me to visit him?"

“Store Manager” wants to meet Wang Chaling?
The entire headquarters knew Wang Chaling’s attitude towards the Peace Hotel and the “store manager”, and Lu Zhiwen was naturally also very clear about it.

Of course, the reasons are unclear.

If we bring the "store manager" to see Wang Chaling now, what will be Wang Chaling's reaction?
Lu Zhiwen didn't want to gamble. Just when he was thinking about how to convince the "store manager" to give up this idea, Lin Yuan said, "Forget it. The police officer in charge of the safety of a city must be very busy. Maybe he is still on a mission. It's better not to disturb him. Besides, I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner. I can't meet people whenever I want. Forget it, let's find some fun places, so that I can bring my employees here to relax."

Lu Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "I'll ask the headquarters to send some information about Dadong City so that I can show you around, Boss Lin."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help then."
