I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 403: The rules of the "store manager" era, the opening ceremony of the ghost painting

"Brother Lin, my mission is still ongoing, but now Zhang Xianguang and the others have already known about this, which may affect my undercover mission. So I hope Brother Lin can ensure that they can stay quietly in a room in the post office and not leave during my mission. How much does it cost? Brother Lin, please name a price."

Yang Jian put forward his own requirements and showed his utmost sincerity.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered, and before he could speak, the spirit light on the other side said: "Officer Yang, your request is really unreasonable. Your mission is indeed a mission, but we are just ordinary people. Aren't you protecting us when you are undercover? Now you want to imprison us. What's the reason? The police and the people are one family, and what you said is all a lie. You police officers don't believe in ordinary people like us at all?"

As expected of a person who has lived for decades, he raised the tone to a very high level with just one sentence.

If we really want to talk about reason, Yang Jian really couldn't convince himself for a moment.

Even though he is indeed a genius of this era, his experience is still too shallow. When it comes to "reasoning", he is really no match for the old senior Ling Yiguang.

But he didn't care either.

Because he knew very well that it was possible to impress the "store manager" just by talking about reason, but the prerequisite was that the "store manager's" interests were not involved.

He also heard the conversation between Zhang Xianguang and others.

These people held a banquet in Shuangqiao Town, when there was a shortage of evil spirits. If they competed with me at this time, even if they won, would they be able to gather more evil spirits in a short time?
By then, there won’t be enough “meal money”.

From Zhang Xianguang to Ling Yiguang, to Nie Yingping, and those ghost riders who followed Zhang Xianguang in Shuangqiao Town, all of them must be liquidated.

What will happen when the ghosts in their bodies are taken away by the "store manager"?
But he obviously underestimated Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang quickly guessed what Yang Jian was thinking, so after Ling Yiguang finished speaking, he added, "Boss Lin, is the arrangement in Shuangqiao Town almost done? I just heard from Xiao Nie that you have temporarily prepared five tables, but I have a lot of friends, so five tables may not be enough. How about preparing six tables? What do you think?"

One table costs fifty-one dollars, which means seventeen ghosts.

Nie Yingping looked at Zhang Xianguang in astonishment. There were seventeen more ghosts, and there was only half a day. Where could they get these seventeen ghosts?

However, looking at the calm expressions of Zhang Xianguang and Ling Yiguang, he did not speak.

really.

In the interests of these seventeen ghosts, Lin Yuan has made a choice. "No problem, I'll prepare when I get back. Xiao Yang, how is your mission going? If you don't have enough time, I can go to Shuangqiao Town with Big Zhang, Little Zhang, and Little Nie first, and come back after you finish your mission. How about that?"

Big Boss Zhang?

Little Zhang?

Zhang Xianguang, Ling Yiguang, a gorilla face, and a robot's electronic screen, who had just been very calm and composed, all turned into one big word:
Embarrassing o(╯□╰)o!

Yang Jian was not in the mood to care about their thoughts, because he really didn't want to accept such a result, but what was the use?

The "store manager" has made a decision, which means that his plan to stop Peach Blossom Spring by blocking the door of the Ghost Post Office has failed.

In that case, there is no need to stay in the ghost post office any longer.

Anyway, he didn't need to deliver any letters, nor did he need to stay here any longer. After leaving the Ghost Post Office, he immediately went to Dajing City.

Sun Rui stayed in Dahan City to make some necessary preparations.

Yang Jian had naturally reported to the headquarters about Zhang Xianguang's possible use of this banquet to launch the Peach Blossom Spring Project.

It's just confirmed now.

Before blocking the door of the Ghost Post Office, Yang Jian had already communicated with the headquarters. Now he directly rushed to the headquarters using the ghost domain, and many people had gathered at the headquarters at this time.

Li Jun, Wei Jing, Lu Zhiwen, Liu San, Li Leping, Zhang Lei, Ah Hong, and Cao Yang, who had not been seen for a long time, also rushed over from Dajin City.

Including Yang Jian, there are a total of eight captains here.

Although Zhang Lei has not yet held the position of captain, his strength has already been reached and his mental state also meets the qualifications of a captain. It's just that there is no vacancy for the captain yet, so he is only a reserve captain. There will be no limit on the number of positions for this position, and as long as the captain's position becomes vacant, there will be an opportunity to take it up.

Although Ah Hong's strength is slightly weaker, she is only compared with the captain and the reserve captain, and she is very capable of cooperating with Li Jun and can exert terrifying power.

Coupled with the stereotypical "couple" of the "store manager", she and Li Jun often have to act together, especially when it comes to matters related to the "store manager" and there is a possibility that they will meet the "store manager".

Otherwise, if the "store manager" feels that one of them is unfaithful, it may affect his impression and attitude towards them, which is something the headquarters will not allow to happen.

"Wang Chaling has to stay in Dadong City and prepare for the team building as a store manager. Shen Lin needs to deal with his own condition and cannot come for the time being."

There was no mention of He Yiner.

He Yin'er is still guarding the spirit in Taiping Ancient Town. It is impossible for her to leave before seven days. Even if she leaves, she will move with the Peace Hotel, not with them.

Zhang Xuan is still abroad and is temporarily out of contact, but there is no definite news of his death, so it is impossible to announce his death.

After all, for a captain at his level, it is normal to lose contact for a few days when dealing with supernatural incidents.

"It is now certain that Zhang Xianguang is indeed heading to Shuangqiao Town for the Peach Blossom Spring Project. And I don't know what he is thinking, but at least he has been persuaded, or given a reasonable explanation to the store manager. If he is not stopped, it is very likely that the ghost painting will really cover the whole world."

Yang Jian explained the basic situation with a serious expression.

"For the store manager, it doesn't seem to matter what the world is like. Just like now, his Peace Hotel is in a supernatural place and has not really come to reality. Maybe Zhang Xianguang can really find a suitable reason, but the most important thing now is how we can stop him. No one thinks that we captains together can stop the store manager, right?" Liu San raised the most important question.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone knows how terrifying the "store manager" is... No, everyone just knows how terrifying the "store manager" is, but no one knows exactly to what extent, and no one can figure out the upper limit of the "store manager". This is what makes people feel helpless and powerless.

There are eight captains in total, which is a huge force in the entire supernatural circle, but that is only relative to the normal supernatural circle.

In front of the "store manager", even if all of them came together, they would probably not be enough for him to handle.

Do not!
There is no need for the "store manager" to even show up. The ghost messenger Lao Fan, the starving ghost Lao Hua, the knocking ghost Lao Hei, and the tall male corpse Li Qingzhi, these evil ghosts in the Peace Hotel are enough to get rid of them all.

"We definitely can't fight them, we can only deal with this matter through language. For this reason, as early as when we confirmed the situation at the Peace Hotel, we organized a group of experts in linguistics, behavior, psychology, etc. to be responsible for operational support in this area."

Cao Yanhua took over the topic.

Faced with a being that is powerful enough to suppress everything and is willing to get along with everyone like ordinary people, these experts who gradually lost their power during the period of supernatural revival have a greater effect.

But the prerequisite is that those who walk to the front of the stage and face the "store manager" must be qualified to stand opposite Him.

Otherwise, the headquarters could just arrange for these experts to communicate with the "store manager" directly, and there would be no need for them to show up in person. There would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for so many of us. If too many of us go, it will actually disgust the store manager."

Liu San looked around.

Now that the situation was clear, he no longer wanted to get involved in the matter.

He now has a cooperative relationship with the "store manager", but this relationship does not provide him with the supernatural protection of the "store manager" like Tong Qian and other employees.

In this situation, he naturally did not want to stand against the "store manager", even if it was just possible.

Obviously, today's incident does not require him to step in, or even many captains to step in. Instead of staying here, he should think carefully about the future path.

Liu San's words also reflected the thoughts of most people present.

Yang Jian glanced at everyone and felt helpless. If possible, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Yang Xiao was still in the oil painting world of the Ghost Post Office.

Even though Yang Xiaotian was dead and he never called Yang Xiao "father", he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart.

Zhang Xianguang's existence has become a threat to Yang Xiao. If he cannot take this opportunity to deal with it, it will become more troublesome in the future.

The meeting finally reached a consensus.

"Yang Jian, you, Wei Jing, Zhang Lei, and Cao Yang should go and handle this matter together. Keep the communication open at all times. Our experts will analyze and provide suggestions on the spot. As for the others, go back to your respective posts first. If there are any supernatural incidents, deal with them as soon as possible."

After Cao Yanhua finished speaking, the captains also started to move.

Unlike the original historical line, with the emergence of the Peace Hotel, although supernatural events are still resurfacing, they are not as desperate as before.

Therefore, even if the headquarters does not show the strength to crush all the captains, under the premise that there is no trend of collapse of order, the headquarters can still openly command all the captains and control the whole country.

After all the captains left, Cao Yanhua left the meeting room and went to another room.

This was originally a lounge, and it is still the same now, but it is filled with the smell of medicine. There is a person lying on the bed, and it is Wang Xiaoming, who is almost skin and bones.

There are doctors and nurses around Wang Xiaoming 24 hours a day, ready to ensure that Wang Xiaoming will not die suddenly.

Seeing Cao Yanhua come in, the doctor on standby hurried over to greet him.

Cao Yanhua forced a smile on his face, "Mr. Luo, how is he doing?"

The doctor, who was called Mr. Luo, had gray hair and looked to be in his seventies, but he was in good spirits and had a rosy complexion, and it was obvious that he was in good health.

Luo Lao looked at Wang Xiaoming with amazement, just like the way Wang Xiaoming looked at other experimental subjects in the past, passionate but extremely calm. "Judging from Mr. Wang's physical condition, he should have been unable to maintain basic body functions a long time ago, which means that he should have died a long time ago. But the miraculous thing is that even though his body has completely collapsed and cancer cells have spread throughout his body, he is still tenaciously alive and conscious. If I didn't know that he was being kept alive by supernatural powers, I would have doubted whether the human body is capable of..."

What followed was a long stream of professional terms, which Cao Yanhua did not quite understand, but he politely did not interrupt Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo was also a leading figure in the domestic medical community, with rich theoretical knowledge and clinical experience, and had made great contributions to the domestic medical cause, and could be called a national treasure.

Even Cao Yanhua respected him very much.

Luo Lao talked for a while, took the cup of water handed to him by the nurse, drank a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Deputy Minister Cao, is there something you need? Then you two can talk first."

"Take care, Mr. Luo."

After sending Luo Lao and the nurse away, Cao Yanhua sat down next to Wang Xiaoming. Before he could speak, Wang Xiaoming said, "I finally understand now. This is the manager's punishment for me. I used to worry about the impact of supernatural powers on my body, so I didn't want to get involved in many things. But now it seems that I took it for granted. That's right, no matter how intelligent I am, it is a taboo to peek into the supernatural world from an ordinary person's perspective."

Cao Yanhua was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that Wang Xiaoming would overturn his previous insistence under such circumstances.

Wang Xiaoming continued, "I have tried to commit suicide, but no matter which method I used, it couldn't take my life away. However, my methods are all ordinary people's methods. What if it is a supernatural power? Can you help me complete this experiment?"

Wang Xiaoming's eyes were full of heat, even though his body had completely collapsed.

This is a person imprisoned in the body...

Cao Yanhua sighed, "If you are willing, the headquarters will support your stay at the Peace Hotel, but if you need medication, you may need to find a way yourself. You... think about it carefully."

Originally, he wanted to consult Wang Xiaoming's opinion on today's incident.

But looking at Wang Xiaoming's condition, he knew that this once wise man had been affected by supernatural powers, or tortured to the point of having some problems.

His wisdom is no longer worthy of 100% trust.

so be it.

In Shuangqiao Town, Lin Yuan has returned with Ling Yiguang and Nie Yingping.

Because Ling Yi Guang added another table, Lin Yuan was in a very good mood and had a very happy chat with Ling Yi Guang. However, Nie Yingping had a bitter and depressed look on his face.

"Boss Lin, I have some things to do so I will go now. Please prepare for the banquet and we will come when the time comes."

Lin Yuan naturally agreed to the boss' request. "Okay, go ahead and do your work. We are here to take care of it."

This was just an ordinary banquet, without so many details. Fang Shiming had arranged everything in an orderly manner and did not let Lin Yuan down.

When he was making arrangements, he would check his phone from time to time, and no one knew what he was looking at.

When he saw Lin Yuan coming back, his face changed immediately. It was because the ghost messenger came back with him that he felt like dying.

Lin Yuan pretended not to see it.

As long as it doesn't affect the work in the store, he won't care about any office romance. Besides, he is in such a good mood today, so it would be nice to just turn a blind eye.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after an hour, there was only about half an hour left until dinner time.

During this period, some more guests came. They looked relatively young, probably in their early thirties. One of them was called Wang Han.

But Lin Yuan didn't care.

He just runs a restaurant, not a marriage agency.

"Boss Lin, how are you doing?" Ling Yiguang suddenly came over and asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, the banquet will start soon and it won't delay your business. But it's already this late and your guests haven't arrived yet."

Six tables were prepared, and one more was provided.

But now there is only a little over one table occupied, and the other four or five tables are empty.

Although Lin Yuan was not in the catering business before traveling through time, he had seen people setting up dozens of tables for banquets, but in the end, none of the guests were present.

Lin Yuan didn’t care whether the banquet of supernatural light would be like this.

What he was worried about was that if something went wrong at the banquet, the two sides would have a disagreement over the cost of the meal, and in the end he, the restaurant owner, would be the one who suffered the loss.

"Don't worry, Boss Lin. The guests will be here soon. However, some arrangements need to be made. I hope Boss Lin doesn't mind." Ling Yiguang said.

Is there something behind this?
Lin Yuan became interested and asked, "Tell me about it?"

"It's still about the post office. My...my brother's friends in the post office can't come directly. That would attract some people's attention, so we need to use a piece of...um, space equipment."

The word "supernatural light" sounds a bit awkward.

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

During this period, Zhang Xianguang also attracted a group of people through oil paintings. Although they can only exist in oil paintings and cannot come into reality, it depends on the situation.

People in the world of oil paintings can appear in the world of ghost paintings.

After the Peach Blossom Spring project is successful, these people can become their power in Peach Blossom Spring, and their strength is not weak.

They are all people who have cleared the fifth level of the Ghost Post Office.

If they want to come over, including Zhang Xianguang himself, they must first cover this place with the ghost domain of the ghost painting before they can come over.

In other words, the "store manager" and his companions have all entered the ghost realm of the ghost painting.

This is also a test.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "So that's how it is. I thought it was something else. Lao Zhang, don't treat me like an antique. As for space equipment, I have one or two in my shop. If you need them, I can rent them to you."

Directional portal, nanolaboratory.

This is the space equipment that Lin Yuan owns. He is already very accustomed to the weird technology tree in this world and does not feel surprised.

The supernatural light made me laugh and cry.

This "store manager" is really always trying to attract business.

After rejecting the kindness of the "store manager", Ling Yiguang went to make arrangements. In order to prevent the "store manager's" cognition from causing unknown distortions to the ghost painting and to stop the arrival of the ghost realm of the ghost painting, he did it behind the back of the "store manager".

Although Lin Yuan was a little curious, he also respected the other party's privacy.

"Is this... paper dust?"

Tong Qian, who was about to light the stove with a spatula, suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

Shuangqiao Town was originally shrouded in the white fog ghost domain of the "store manager", but at some point, some paper ashes suddenly floated in the sky.

She thought it was snowing at first, but when she reached out to pick it up, she found it was paper ash.

The abnormality here was soon discovered by others. Fang Shiming, Xiao An and Xiao Xi all looked up at the scene, and then cast their gazes not far away.

There, Ling Yiguang, Nie Yingping, Zhang Xian, Chen Qiaoyang and others were gathered together, seemingly whispering something, and looking up at the sky from time to time.

Apparently, this is what they did.

"The ghost realm of the ghost painting has descended, but not completely. The ghost realm of the store manager is even more terrifying than the ghost realm of the ghost painting, and it prevented the ghost painting from descending completely."

There was something wrong with Nie Yingping's expression.

Not only him, but also Chen Qiaoyang, Zhang Xian, Zhang Ying, Du Hong, Song Xinhai, Wang Han and others, they are all supporters of the Peach Blossom Spring Project and followers of Zhang Xianguang.

The fact that they were able to follow us all the way here also proved their determination.

But everything they insist on has a premise: the ghost domain of ghost painting is the most powerful ghost domain in the world, so it can prevent other supernatural forces from invading easily!
But now?

In front of this white foggy ghostland, the ghost realm of ghost painting can't even descend.

At first, some dust fell from the sky, which was a sign that the ghost realm of the ghost painting had invaded reality, but other than that, there were no other signs.

Looking at the curious eyes of the "store manager", Chen Qiaoyang said in a low voice, "I even suspect that if the store manager was not very curious about the paper ashes, even this sign might have disappeared."

"This is to be expected. The store manager is not our enemy, and he will not become an obstacle to us. You must take good care of He Yuelian, and start planning after the ghost painting arrives."

Ling Yiguang gave instructions and walked to Lin Yuan, pointing at the scattered paper ashes in the sky and said, "Boss Lin, these are the signs of activation of our space equipment. What do you think?"

He didn't say "paper ashes" because he didn't know what these paper ashes looked like in the eyes of the "store manager".

If you say the wrong thing, it is likely to trigger the "store manager's" killing pattern.

"That space equipment of yours was invented by a woman, right?" Facing the confused and puzzled eyes of the spirit light, Lin Yuan pointed at the sky and said with a smile, "The opening ceremony turned out to be peach petals!"

In an instant, all the paper ashes in the sky turned into pink peach blossoms, which was extremely beautiful.
