I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 397 He Doesn’t Care

Today's Caesar Hotel has changed a lot.

Compared with the mysterious revival, many evil spirits that could cause harm had long been eliminated and became part of the "breeding area" on the third floor.

This breeding area naturally corresponds to the original mysterious place.

Under normal circumstances, there is no danger in the Caesar Hotel, especially at night. The tall male corpse of Li Qingzhi returned to the Peace Hotel.

His beautiful paper assistant robot, like the rest of the paper figures, returned to the breeding area on the third floor.

With the supernatural beings in the White Mist Ghost Domain around, there was no need to worry that this place would get out of control. But now that Zhang Xianguang and Chen Qiaoyang were about to come in, Lin Yuan naturally made some arrangements.

But the result made Lin Yuan frown.

Because Zhang Xianguang and Chen Qiaoyang did not go too deep, they did not even enter the elevator to go to the breeding area on the third floor.

After just walking around the first floor for a few times, Zhang Xianguang was ready to leave. Chen Qiaoyangren, who was standing by, was stunned. "You took the risk to enter the Caesar Hotel in the middle of the night, and you're going to leave without finding anything?"

"That's enough. This hotel completely belongs to the manager and has been transformed by the manager's spirit. There is no need to investigate it anymore. Even if there are traces of the manager left in it, they should have been cleaned up by the manager and there is no way they could remain." Zhang Xianguang said.

Chen Qiaoyang frowned, "What do you mean, I don't understand?"

"According to previous situations, the store manager appeared at least forty years ago and existed in the history of the Wang family. Such an existence cannot be unknown in history, so there is only one reason, that is, our memory has been affected. In this case, his existence in history must be some kind of taboo, so it was erased. Regardless of whether this erasure was done by him or another existence, the traces he left behind can only appear in some forgotten angles, such as history returned through the spirit, and space distorted by time."

"The Caesar Hotel has been completely controlled by the manager. If there are traces of him here, he will definitely clean them up. If we really find some traces here, it would be contradictory. It is very likely that this is some kind of trap set by the manager. If this trap is discovered by someone, what would you do?"

A possibility raised by Zhang Xianguang made Chen Qiaoyang's heart tremble.

Feeling the strange white mist surging around him, Chen Qiaoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy? Can't you wait until we leave here before making such a guess?"

This is the White Fog Ghostland, and the White Fog Ghostland is the ghost of the "store manager".

Saying these words here is like discussing the other party's flawed plan under the "store manager's" nose, and telling the other party clearly:

I've seen through your plan, come and kill me!

"Do you think that once we leave here, we will no longer be under the store manager's surveillance?" Zhang Xianguang asked back.

Chen Qiaoyang has just been imprisoned for too long and is not very clear about the development and changes of this era. It doesn’t mean that he is a fool or an idiot.

On the contrary, he is an extremely intelligent person.

The "Store Manager" business card in his hand, which he used to save his life, suddenly became extremely hot, but he still did not throw it away.

He took the initiative to ask the "store manager" for this.

Originally, I just wanted to get rid of the restrictions imposed on me by Zhang Xianguang regarding the Peace Hotel incident, but I didn't expect that I would dig such a big hole for myself.

According to Zhang Xianguang, wouldn't he be under the "store manager's" nose at all times in the future, without any secrets at all?
Unless, throw away this business card...

"No, you have that business card in your hand too!"

"Yes, I do have this business card in my hand, that's because I don't care. Everything I do can be shown to others, there are no secrets. Just like... now."

At the entrance of Caesar Hotel, just one step away from leaving the coverage of the white fog ghost domain, Zhang Xianguang suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Qiaoyang.

His eyes were calm and distant.

Chen Qiaoyang's heart trembled, and he took a step back unconsciously, while holding the card in his hand tighter. Just as he was about to say something, he realized something was wrong.

"He's not looking at me..."

Chen Qiaoyang took a step to the side. As he expected, Zhang Xianguang's gaze was still looking towards the depths of the Caesar Hotel.

The most direct one is the front desk on the first floor.

There was originally no one there, at least that was the case when they came in, but at some point, one more person appeared there.

No, it should be said that it is a paper man.

The paper figure was painted with clothes and facial features, and it was so realistic that from a distance it looked like a real woman.

"He was looking at this paper man? No, he was looking at... the store manager! Including what he just said, he was also speaking to the store manager."

As I said just now, Chen Qiaoyang is not stupid, he just doesn't understand the changes of the times.

But through Zhang Xianguang's various actions, Chen Qiaoyang suddenly understood why Zhang Xianguang came to Caesar Hotel, why he left as soon as he arrived, and why he said such words in the white fog ghost domain.

But it was because he understood that he gnashed his teeth at Zhang Xianguang, "Zhang Xianguang, you lunatic!"

"Crazy? Maybe, but if there is no answer today, tomorrow's plan will be greatly changed. What I am doing now is just to minimize this change and know in advance whether it can be successful."

Zhang Xianguang spoke in a flat tone, still waiting, waiting for... the store manager to appear.

He is not the "store manager" who just has the consciousness and worldview of an ordinary person, who usually stands at the front desk as a tool and plays games with everyone.

Instead, he is regarded as a god who truly controls the existence of the White Mist and the Peace Hotel.

In the study room on the third floor of the Peace Hotel that shouldn't exist, Lin Yuan also understood Zhang Xianguang's thoughts and couldn't help laughing.

"Chen Qiaoyang is right. Zhang Xianguang is indeed a madman. But he is also wrong. Zhang Xianguang is still rational. All he wants to do is confirm the threat of the Peach Blossom Spring Project in advance."

Looking behind the desk, the scene seems like a real 3D scene.

He also specially adjusted the angle so that Zhang Xianguang in the virtual scene could look him in the eye.

"Ever since he knew about my existence, he has always wanted to meet me, but I didn't give him the opportunity. Now, he's actually threatening me?"

Imprint your own existence in the traces of history, so as to achieve the purpose of bugging, allowing yourself to borrow Shen Lin's supernatural power to travel to a more distant history and witness the existence of history.

Especially the powerful Republic of China period when countless geniuses emerged.

In addition to the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, there are also the Wang family, the first generation of necromancers, ghost peddlers, and even the predecessors of wish ghosts and human skin paper...

It was a buried era.

Countless geniuses grew and shone in that era, and finally turned into black or red coffins, buried in history.

In the end, only the stories of a few people remain.

If we could go back into history and allow them to join the Peace Hotel, it would be of great help to the growth of the Peace Hotel.

It can also allow the Peace Hotel to grow faster to a balanced state that can counter the White Fog Ghost Domain.

Only then will Lin Yuan be able to fully appear in this world, instead of being like he is now, where he can only hide in the cracks of the Peace Hotel and occasionally go out for some fresh air.

Lin Yuan has had enough of this kind of thing!

Now there is someone who dares to use this matter to threaten me. It is really... too interesting!

At the entrance of Caesar Hotel, Chen Qiaoyang's whole body was tense. Even though he knew that his strength was nothing in front of the "store manager", he was still ready to take action at any time.

As long as the person who comes out is not the "store manager", he has the courage to fight.

However, the expected attack did not come. Except for the strange paper figure of the beautiful woman, nothing happened and nothing appeared.

"This is……"

Chen Qiaoyang looked at Zhang Xianguang in confusion, and Zhang Xianguang's original calmness and wisdom now showed a hint of frustration.

He stared at the paper figurine of the beautiful woman.

The expression painted on the face of this beautiful paper doll was originally very plain, without any special expression, but at this moment, the corners of its mouth were curled up.

It was as if he was mocking his cleverness.

“He doesn’t care.”

Chen Qiaoyang was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"He doesn't care." Zhang Xianguang took a deep breath, and his calm mood after leaving the Peace Hotel finally showed some ups and downs. "He doesn't care about the speculation I just mentioned, or even the threat I showed. That's right, according to the power He showed, my speculation or threat will not have any effect. He doesn't care what I say or do, because it is meaningless, at least to Him. If such means can force Him out, He will no longer be Him."

Hearing these words, Chen Qiaoyang actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good that you don't care. That's good that you don't care. I'm not saying anything to you, but please don't play with your heartbeat anymore, okay? Fortunately, the store manager doesn't care, otherwise, we might not be able to get out of here." Chen Qiaoyang couldn't help but complain, "Don't think that just because I obey you, you can stop taking my life seriously!"

What a pity!

He had already prepared himself to slide down on his knees and beg for mercy as soon as the store manager came out. He had completely forgotten about the dignity of the ghost herder.

Only after being imprisoned for decades did I realize the value of being alive.

As long as you can survive, it is not a big deal to bow to a terrifying existence that is almost as powerful as a god.

The current situation couldn't be better. He didn't care.

But it is precisely because of this indifference that it proves His terror and the authenticity of His existence in history.

I just don’t know what happened in the past few decades, and why all traces of His existence in the past were erased, not only on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level.

This method does not seem like a targeted erasure of someone's memory, but rather a rule that as long as his memory is affected, it will be erased or blocked.

It should not be shielding, but erasing.

Now that He appears again, the new memories are not affected. If that rule still exists, no memory of Him will be left.

Now that rule is gone, right?
Or is it the store manager who is resisting and suppressing this rule?

There are too many mysteries surrounding the store manager, making it difficult for Chen Qiaoyang to see clearly or understand the truth. Even the possibility that is like an abyss makes him dare not touch it.

"Zhang Xianguang, I admire you more and more now. Not only your courage and strength, but also your luck." Chen Qiaoyang said this sincerely.

Zhang Xianguang said calmly: "Then I really thank you."

Then he ignored Chen Qiaoyang and cast his gaze into the depths of the Caesar Hotel, whispering, "I know you are watching me, I just want to see you. Maybe in your eyes, my so-called Peach Blossom Spring is not worth mentioning, but that is what I have insisted on in my life. I will do it for you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Caesar Hotel without any hesitation, decisively and resolutely.

Chen Qiaoyang's eyes sparkled with a strange light, "This is the person I follow, so..."

boom!
With a muffled sound, Zhang Xianguang, who was supposed to walk out of the Caesar Hotel with a courageous momentum, was bounced back as if he had hit something.

squeak!
The glass door slowly opened as if by induction. It was obvious that Zhang Xianguang had bumped into it just now.

It was precisely because of this collision that his original resolute momentum was instantly lost. He looked at the open glass door in astonishment, his eyes solemn.

Without looking back, Zhang Xianguang took a step forward.

Chen Qiaoyang was not so resolute. Like Zhang Xianguang, he understood what the seemingly ordinary glass door that appeared at the end represented, and he felt very heavy.

"The store manager is not a stingy person, otherwise he would not have resorted to such a petty trick. Instead, he wants to prevent us from leaving here and make us the evil spirits being raised in the breeding farm. So, is this an attitude? Is it an attitude towards testing Zhang Xianguang tonight, or an attitude towards the Peach Blossom Spring Project?"

Chen Qiaoyang had already begun to doubt the feasibility of the Peach Blossom Spring plan because of the Peace Hotel and the appearance of the "store manager", and this scene tonight made him feel nervous again.

However, there is no turning back when the bow is fired.

A plan that has been prepared for decades cannot be stopped at this time. We must fight for a result even if it means risking our lives.

This is an answer to these decades.

"The Peach Blossom Spring Project is too petty compared to the Yin-Yang Road. But it is also a backup plan. When the revival of the supernatural cannot be stopped, it is a guarantee for humans to keep a spark of fire. He is indeed a very charismatic guy. No wonder so many people follow him. Moreover, in the past few decades, more people who followed him should have died and did not survive to this era. Let me see what kind of drama you will put on."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the scene belonging to Zhang Xianguang disappeared.

"I can't move freely now, just like you thought. If you can give me a surprising performance, maybe I can help you. At least I won't lose so miserably like in the original book."

After leaving Caesar Hotel, Zhang Xianguang did not hesitate and went directly to Shuangqiao Town.

Chen Qiaoyang had a lot of questions to ask, but he could only follow behind. When he arrived at Shuangqiao Town, Zhang Xianguang was standing at the entrance of Shuangqiao Town waiting for him in the morning light. "What do you want to ask?"

"There is nothing to ask now. Everything is just moving forward. We have been planning for decades. Although I have been trapped in the Wang family's old house in the past few years, I, like you, am eager for that era to come. Zhang Xianguang, Zhang Xianguang, don't let us down, and don't let down those who support you." Chen Qiaoyang said seriously.

Zhang Xianguang nodded, turned around and walked towards the town, "Let's go and meet our former companions."

"No problem, but I don't have time to catch ghosts now. The ghost cage is with Zhang Xian, you have to ask him to give me nine ghosts, otherwise I might stick myself to the store manager today and won't have time to help you anymore." Chen Qiaoyang said.

Zhang Xianguang nodded, "Of course."

The two quickly entered Shuangqiao Town and came to the primary school that was supposed to be abandoned.

Although it was only dawn, several people had already gathered here, including the elderly Zhang Xian, the young Nie Yingping, Zhang Ying in her fifties, and the taciturn Song Xinhai.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so old, haha!" Chen Qiaoyang and Zhang Xianguang walked in together, smiling brightly.

Zhang Xian's cheek twitched, but when he saw Chen Qiaoyang clearly, he was shocked, "Ghost herder Chen Qiaoyang? You are still alive, but how come you haven't aged at all? You are still the same as you were decades ago?"

"During these decades, I didn't exist in reality, so I naturally couldn't feel the passage of time. There are also Nie Yingping, Zhang Ying, Song Xinhai, no, there is one more person, where is Du Hong?"

They are all supporters of the Peach Blossom Spring Project and are very familiar with each other.

And from what Chen Qiaoyang said, these people all existed decades ago, including Nie Yingping, who looked very young, only in his thirties.

"I'm going to look for the last piece of the puzzle. Judging from the time, it's almost time to be back." Zhang Ying said.

Like Du Hong, she is a messenger who has passed the fifth level of the Ghost Post Office. However, after leaving the Ghost Post Office, she faces the problem of the resurrection of evil spirits.

It was Zhang Xianguang, who was active outside at the time, who found them and helped them solve the problem of the revival of the evil spirits. They then became Zhang Xianguang's teammates and were also firm supporters of the Peach Blossom Spring Project.

Chen Qiaoyang said, "You should have gone with him. There are many terrible young people in this era. If he went alone and died, it would be fine. It can only be said that he was unlucky, but it would delay today's plan, which would be the biggest sin."

"Chen Qiaoyang, your mouth still stinks as always."

A resounding voice sounded, and Du Hong, who was in his fifties, strode in from outside the school, holding a golden woven bag in his hand and threw it directly at the feet of the crowd.

"A little fellow named Qian Yi refused to hand over the embroidered shoes. I had no choice but to resort to some tricks. However, the research of this era is quite interesting. If we had this thing in the past, it would have been much easier to deal with supernatural events."

Obviously, Du Hong was very satisfied with the golden woven bag.

Nie Yingping stepped forward and opened the golden woven bag. A pair of red embroidered shoes were lying quietly inside. They looked like the style of the Republic of China period, but a little old. The red pattern on them was a little weird, giving people a bad feeling.

The shoes are very small, and you can tell at a glance that they are only suitable for women with bound feet.

The moment the golden woven bag was opened, the pair of embroidered shoes jumped out directly, as if someone was wearing them.

"What a hassle, you took it back without suppressing it?"

Nie Yingping took out the broken rattle from his arms and hit it directly on the embroidered shoes.

Obviously, only one of the embroidered shoes was hit, but both of them fell to the ground as if they were hit hard at the same time and did not move.

"Get everything ready. We'll talk about everything after the store manager arrives. We need to make careful arrangements to ensure that today's plan can be carried out quickly." Zhang Xianguang said.

Nie Yingping frowned and said, "Are you really not going to wait any longer? Are you sure that old man Qin won't come to cause trouble for us?"

When they heard the surname Qin, everyone present became serious.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Old Qin was indeed the mountain pressing down on everyone's heads. Even Zhang Xianguang was very afraid of him.

It is a natural alien, or in other words, a ghost.

You've been a ghost since the womb!

"He is now busy driving the ghost bus for the Peace Hotel, and as long as the manager is around, he will not and dare not do anything wrong." Zhang Xianguang said.

Zhang Ying said, "That's good. I don't want to have to face someone like him in the end."

When they heard that Zhang Xianguang had his own plans and arrangements, although they were not clear about the specifics, their long-standing trust made them choose to believe Zhang Xianguang.

In the past, Zhang Xianguang had never let them down, and he believed that this time would be the same.

Zhang Xianguang looked at Zhang Xian and said, "Take out the ghost cage and release the nine ghosts."

"This is...good."

Zhang Xian was somewhat unhappy. Although most of these ghosts were imprisoned by Zhang Xianguang and his teammates, the ghost cage was in his hands, giving him the illusion that he was the owner.

Naturally, he was not happy about taking things out of his pocket.

But he was also clear about his identity and strength. If he really angered Zhang Xianguang, he would be the one who would suffer in the end, so he could only take out the ghost cage.

The cage is square and made of bones, which looks very strange.

The cage was pitch black, and there seemed to be a pair of strange hands reaching out to grab the cage, trying to struggle and escape from it, but to no avail.

There is also a copper cage hanging above it, which is locked.

Zhang Xian took out a key, opened the copper cage, and then threw the cage forward.

boom!
In an instant, arms stretched out from the cage, and terrifying human figures appeared nearby, and even a ghost appeared.

Even with top ghost masters like Zhang Xianguang around, no one dared to relax in the face of so many evil spirits.

Chen Qiaoyang was even more cautious. His arm was dripping with blood, and the dripping blood gathered in two places, forming two completely different lines of text.
