I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 415: Painting in the Corridor, Domineering Fang Shiming

White fog effect:
steal!

Chen Qiaoyang checked into the Peace Hotel. At night when the white fog ghost domain was at its strongest, his supernatural powers were naturally stolen by Lin Yuan.

Of course, it was the real Lin Yuan.

The wound on the wrist had already solidified, but there was a pool of blood on the ground. It seemed to be alive, sometimes forming a line of words, and sometimes forming an animal. It was very flexible and interesting.

Lin Yuan lost interest after playing for a while.

Herding evil spirits sounds scary, but now it has become his ability. As long as he is willing, the supernatural power of the ghost herder is much stronger than Chen Qiaoyang.

Moreover, he does not need to be protected by four ghosts like Chen Qiaoyang to avoid being disturbed when using his power.

The reason is that Chen Qiaoyang’s body is too weak.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lin Yuan to steal his spiritual power so easily, or in other words, it would be stolen unconsciously by the white fog.

Just like Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua.

Their spiritual powers are much stronger than Chen Qiaoyang's, but he never forces too much on these living ghost riders, and just lets the White Mist Ghost Domain play freely.

Of course, it was impossible for him to forcibly invade or steal from these two people.

Meng Xiaodong and the others were all puzzle pieces of the Peace Hotel chosen by Lin Yuan. If they were to be eroded by the White Fog Ghost Domain, although their spiritual powers could be stolen, it would instead increase the horror of the White Fog Ghost Domain.

The Peace Hotel and the White Mist Ghost Domain lost their balance because the White Mist Ghost Domain was more powerful, and now it is finally possible to slowly reverse this situation.

If the power of the two Seven Elders of the Republic of China was swallowed up by the White Mist Ghost Domain, he would probably fall into a deep sleep again.

"Zhang Xianguang is really calculating. He actually thought of letting He Yuelian take the initiative to implement the Peach Blossom Spring plan, and he also included me in the plan. He obviously didn't even meet me, but just because of my spiritual protection of the employees, he didn't want them to die too easily, so he made such a plan."

"It's a pity that no matter how much He Yuelian gained, it was all for the Peace Hotel, and she was just making a wedding dress for me. But even though she knew this would be the result, she still did it. Is it because my spiritual realm is not high enough, or did I meet a so-called saint?"

Lin Yuan was a little confused, but he didn't care too much.

The supernatural power of the Peace Hotel is steadily increasing, especially since He Yuelian has mastered the ghost paintings, which has made the ghost paintings another piece of the puzzle of the Peace Hotel.

So, when Chen Qiaoyang got up and went downstairs the next day, he found something different on the stairs. "When did so many paintings appear here? And they are quite beautiful. Are they peach petals?"

There are always some empty picture frames in the corridor.

After half a year, almost a year, everyone has gotten used to it, as if they should be picture frames rather than paintings.

Although Chen Qiaoyang comes here infrequently and rarely goes upstairs, he does not have such a habit. But when he came here last night, he was so focused on how to convince the "store manager" that he did not pay attention to these details at all.

But it's different now.

The colors of these paintings are very bright, which makes them very different compared with the original wood-colored walls next to them, and they are naturally noticed at first sight.

The staircase from the first floor to the second floor is divided into two parts with a turn in the middle.

Each part of the staircase has eighteen steps, and on the walls on the left and right sides of each part of the staircase, there are two paintings hung in an alternating manner. The paintings are relatively large, being one meter long and half a meter wide.

The paintings in the frames also depict cities.

These cities are all high-rise buildings, but because the view is wide-angle and the distance is relatively far, it is difficult to tell which city they are.

And above these cities, there are many pink peach petals, which has a very aesthetic style.

"They are all exactly the same paintings. Are they copied? I feel like the scenery in these paintings will change in the future." Chen Qiaoyang muttered softly, expressing his sixth sense.

"It's impossible for an ordinary painting to change, but it will happen if there is a special power affecting it. Also, don't block the road. I didn't get up so early for you to block the road."

A cold female voice came from behind.

Chen Qiaoyang frowned and turned around to say something, but after seeing who was coming, especially the figures behind him, he shuddered, then quickly made way, forcing a smile and said, "Sorry, sorry, I slept too well last night and haven't woken up yet."

As he spoke, he slapped the heads of the four wolves that were still blocking the road and said angrily, "Why don't you get out of the way?!!!"

After being slapped, the four wolves immediately leaned against the wall like Chen Qiaoyang did.

That’s right, I’m learning from others.

Although it looked like a wolf, it stood up on its hind legs, and the hair on its body turned into the same color as the wood of the wall, making it look like a chameleon.

It looks like a relative of a chameleon.

Liu Qingqing glanced at them and went downstairs directly, followed by the ghost messenger and Li Qingzhi.

When Liu Qingqing walked by, Chen Qiaoyang didn't feel anything, but when the ghost messenger and Li Qingzhi walked by, he felt like he was about to lose consciousness.

Especially the old hatchet in Li Qingzhi's hand, which hit his thigh.

At that moment, he almost wanted to say goodbye to his right leg, but fortunately this was the Peace Hotel.

"Fortunately, this is the Peace Hotel."

It is around six o'clock in the morning, and the Peace Hotel is starting to become lively in the early morning.

Xiao An and Xiao Xi helped drive more than a hundred wild beasts out of the underground laboratory, allowing Li Qingzhi to go to the Caesar farm through the directional portal.

Tong Qian, Guo Fan and Fang Shiming also returned to the store one after another.

However, since it was still early, no guests had arrived yet and everyone was making preparations for the guests to arrive, which made Chen Qiaoyang seem out of place.

Chen Qiaoyang wanted to do something to integrate into the Peace Hotel.

But when I look around, it seems that there is nothing I can do except the manager position next to the "store manager"... That's right!
Since He Yuelian has left temporarily, can I take advantage of the opportunity?

Chen Qiaoyang touched the four wolves that were circled around him, trying to muster up enough courage, but he had just taken a step when he was stopped by the voice of the "store manager".

But Lin Yuan was not calling him, but "Lao Fang, wait a moment!"

"I?"

Fang Shiming was stunned for a moment. After confirming that Lin Yuan was indeed calling him, he first glanced at the door and was relieved to confirm that the ghost messenger had not followed him in. Then he ran to the cashier, "Brother Yuan, you called me?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "Shouldn't it be time to resolve the issues between you, Lao Fan, and Professor Wang?"

"Hey?"

Fang Shiming was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression.

Ever since the blind date incident in Dajing City, he has been carrying this ghost coffin on his back. Although it has no lid, the supernatural power on it is much more terrifying than the ghost he once controlled.

Let's say that.

If he hadn't been staying in the Peace Hotel, the burden of carrying this uncovered coffin alone would have been enough to crush his body.

But now he has become an outlier.

Physical death cannot actually lead to his death, and he does not have enough strength to move the ghost coffin on his back. By then...

Just think about it and you will know that it is an extremely terrible torture.

Another important reason why he stayed in the Peace Hotel was that he wanted to remove the restrictions on his back.

But after so long, he almost gave up and was still thinking about whether he should COS Master Roshi, but he didn't expect the "store manager" to suddenly say this.

For a moment, Fang Shiming's eyes were filled with tears.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but panic, "Why are you crying? Don't cry. What's there to cry about? I just asked about your situation. Forget it. I won't ask anymore. You can handle your own affairs."

Lin Yuanke couldn't stand anyone crying, no matter if it was a woman or a man.

If it's a woman, and a woman he knows, is familiar with and identifies with, then he would feel distressed.

If it's a man, and it's someone he knows and is familiar with, even if it's someone he agrees with, he will only have one feeling: How embarrassing!

"Ah! Lao Fang has really suffered enough these years. As the president of a super large group, he has developed such a cowardly character. It's really a pity. Lao Zhang is a teacher. I wonder what he teaches. Can he teach Lao Fang?"

Although he was soft-hearted, he didn't want to see a grown man crying from time to time. That would be too embarrassing.

Especially for someone like Fang Shiming, if people don’t know, they might think that Lin Yuan has the same orientation and even bullies Fang Shiming.

"No, no, no, the matter between Lao Fan, Professor Wang and me will be dealt with immediately, and I choose to withdraw." Fang Shiming said quickly.

What a joke!
I finally got a chance to get away, even if it means death. How could I miss it because of my own performance?

He quickly wiped the tears from his face and said with a wry smile: "I don't know why, but after arriving at the store, I feel so emotional. Sometimes I can't stop thinking about it."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work."

This reason was a bit far-fetched, but Lin Yuan didn't take it too seriously. "If that's the case, then you guys figure out how to deal with it. If you need anything, you can tell me."

"Then can I go back for a while? I want to talk to Professor Wang first." Fang Shiming asked tentatively.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you can, but Lao Fan is still at work now. His position is very important, so he can't go with you. If possible, come to the store to discuss it." Fang Shiming's mouth twitched.

What's the difference between this and saying that he is just there to make up the numbers and get by?
In other words, his mind is not on this right now. The real thing is to get rid of the damn ghost coffin on his back first.

The "store manager" finally agreed to end the punishment for the blind date incident in Dajing City. He would be a fool to drag his feet, but he is not a big fool.

Fang Shiming was only thinking about how to deal with the ghost coffin on his back. After confirming with Lin Yuan, he left the Peace Hotel and went to the headquarters to find Wang Xiaoming.

Seeing this, Chen Qiaoyang straightened his clothes, kicked the four wolves around him twice, and then walked towards the cashier counter with the best attitude.

"My image is still good. As for what a lobby manager needs, I can learn it. Anyway, as long as I can successfully get the job, how can being an outsourced person be better than being a regular employee?"

Chen Qiaoyang’s thoughts are very direct.

No matter how big a pie Lin Yuan painted for him, he didn't care. As long as he became an employee of the Peace Hotel and got the spiritual protection of the "store manager", he wouldn't have to worry about the spirits chopping him with a knife.

Are there other ways to have this effect?

"Old Chen? How did you sleep last night?" Lin Yuan also noticed Chen Qiaoyang. He was the "best adventurer" selected by him personally. He might even become the face of the Peace Hotel's Adventurer's Inn in the future, so naturally he had to treat him well.

Chen Qiaoyang smiled his brightest smile. "I slept very well. I felt very safe living in the store. I never had this feeling in the past few decades. By the way, Boss Lin, I..."

"Brother Yuan, I'm back."

He Yuelian and her voice came to the cashier counter. Lin Yuan asked in surprise: "Didn't you ask for leave? Why are you back?"

"I went back last night to make some arrangements. Brother Yuan, didn't you say that we should wait until after this team building? It just so happens that I thought that Da He's seven-day mourning period would soon be over, so I thought about coming back to take care of things here first."

He Yuelian said as she walked to the cashier counter.

The bright red wedding dress was so eye-catching at this moment, forming a sharp contrast with the previous He Yuelian, and it was also the brightest color in the hall.

"Okay, it's good to prepare more for opening a branch."

Lin Yuan smiled, then said to Chen Qiaoyang: "Old Chen, what did you want to say just now?"

Chen Qiaoyang glanced at He Yuelian and forced a smile, "No, nothing. I just didn't get enough sleep last night, so I want to go back and get some more sleep."

"Okay, go ahead."

Chen Qiaoyang nodded, turned around and walked away in a daze.

……

At the headquarters in Dajing City, work has been busy recently, but it’s still going well.

There were no S-level supernatural events, and even A-level supernatural events rarely occurred. The supernatural events that broke out in the country seemed to have suddenly been curbed.

Cao Yanhua and others also felt a lot more relaxed.

Now most of the headquarters' energy is focused on the Peace Hotel, but Tong Qian and Guo Fan's routine reports will have to wait until after six o'clock in the evening.

During this period of daytime, we rarely receive any news from the Peace Hotel.

"Minister, Fang Shiming is here." Zhao Jianguo suddenly knocked on the door and said nervously.

Fang Shiming?
President of the circle of friends, Fang Shiming?

"What is he here for?"

Although Cao Yanhua was a little confused, he had to know that their headquarters and circle of friends did not interfere with each other, especially Fang Shiming, who almost never came to the headquarters.

It's better now.

After becoming an employee of the Peace Hotel, he actually dared to come to the headquarters. Was it the supernatural protection of the "store manager" that gave him the courage?

Despite his doubts, Cao Yanhua still came out in person to greet Fang Shiming.

From the first moment they met, he looked behind Fang Shiming.

Fang Shiming is now very thin, and he carries an uncovered black coffin on his back, which has bent his waist so much that he can only half-bend.

But such a Fang Shiming gives people an extremely ferocious feeling.

Just one look made people feel like they were staring at a resurrected evil ghost, and Fang Shiming didn't waste any words and said directly: "I'm here to see Wang Xiaoming."

Looking for Professor Wang?

Cao Yanhua glanced at the uncovered coffin on Fang Shiming's back again, and seemed to have thought of something. His face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Professor Wang is in poor health and is temporarily inconvenient to see guests."

Fang Shiming said, "I remember that after the blind date incident in Dajing City, Wang Xiaoming was dismissed from his position as a professor. Using the entire population of Dajing City as a bet to imprison the store manager, how could those people tolerate such a thing? They are all in Dajing City."

His tone was cold and calm, without the slightest ups and downs, but to everyone's ears, it sounded full of sarcasm.

If anyone else had said this, they would have been imprisoned long ago, but the person who said this was Fang Shiming.

In fact, the circle of friends is nothing in the headquarters and can be easily destroyed. Especially in the blind date incident in Dajing City, Jiang Shangbai and He Tianxiong, the only powerful figures besides Fang Shiming, also died in that incident. The rest are all small fry and are not worth mentioning at all.

The reason why they can still cause trouble is because the headquarters does not take them seriously at all, and they are also very sensible and do not cause an unmanageable situation.

It comes down to it.

What the headquarters is really afraid of is Fang Shiming, or rather, Lao Fang, the kitchen worker who was recruited as an employee of the Peace Hotel by the "store manager" and given supernatural protection.

Unless the spiritual protection of the "store manager" can be broken, the headquarters will have no way to kill Fang Shiming, or even imprison Fang Shiming.

Because of this, she seemed a little restrained when getting along with Fang Shiming.

But this does not mean that the headquarters will make any compromises with Fang Shiming. On the contrary, the headquarters will never make any compromises. Otherwise, if there is one, there will be two, which is unacceptable to the headquarters.

All along, Fang Shiming seemed to be quite sensible and did not come to the headquarters for this matter.

But now that he has finally come here, he directly pointed out that he wants to find Wang Xiaoming. What does this mean? Does he want to directly challenge the bottom line of the headquarters?

"Professor Wang is not a position, but a respectful title. He may have made a mistake, but that mistake did not cause any substantial harm, and his contribution to the supernatural cause over the years is obvious to all. If it weren't for him, perhaps the supernatural events would have gotten out of control long ago, and we will naturally give him the corresponding respect. He has also been punished, both by the store manager and the headquarters." Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice, "Now his body is very fragile, and he may die in the next moment. At this time, please don't disturb him, Mr. Fang."

Fang Shiming heard this and finally showed a mocking smile on his cold face, "Cao Yanhua, Cao Yanhua, you are still studying the Peace Hotel and the store manager, but you don't even understand such a simple truth?"

Cao Yanhua said with a serious face: "What do you mean?"

"How could someone who was punished by the store manager die so easily? Even if he wanted to die, he would have to get the store manager's consent."

After Fang Shiming finished speaking, he walked towards Wang Xiaoming's room.

Although the circle of friends is constantly declining, there are still some die-hard fans who pass on a lot of information to Fang Shiming.

When he took the first step, Cao Yanhua immediately ordered: "Wei Jing! Stop him!"

"clear."

Wei Jing stepped forward and blocked Fang Shiming's way. At the same time, the surrounding scenery began to change. It was no longer a corridor in the headquarters, but a desolate hill.

Far away, there is a stone tablet with three large characters engraved on it:

Huanggang Village!
"It's an interesting method. You have used the ghost domain of the ghost messenger to such an extent. It has lived up to the store manager's expectations. It's a pity that it's still a little short. Don't forget what I have on my back."

Although he was clearly shrouded in the ghost domain of the ghost catcher, Fang Shiming's body still disappeared in an instant.

Wei Jing's face darkened slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the sky, only to find that a rectangular hole suddenly appeared in the originally spacious sky.

It was as if there was a hole in the sky.

Through this hole, you can see Fang Shiming in reality slowly moving forward. At the same time, his voice can be heard from the sky, "In order to keep a clear mind, he has been unwilling to accept supernatural treatment. Unfortunately, he didn't know that when he put the coffin lid on his back, he had been completely eroded by the supernatural, including his consciousness. Maybe he knew it, but just didn't want to admit it. He is a very contradictory person. Don't stop me, don't force me to do anything to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jing, Cao Yanhua, Zhao Jianguo and others returned to reality, but Fang Shiming had disappeared.

boom!
Zhao Jianguo punched the wall of the corridor and said angrily, "This Fang Shiming is too lawless. How dare he do this?"

"He is very strong now." Wei Jing gave an evaluation.

Cao Yanhua frowned and said, "The nine ghosts' suppression quota can't suppress Fang Shiming?"

Wei Jing thought for a while and said, "The coffin on his back originally belonged to the ghost messenger from Huanggang Village. It has a considerable restraining effect on the abilities I stole. Just at that moment, if he wanted to attack us, I might be able to protect myself, but I couldn't protect you."

"It really is a blessing in disguise. If his condition can stabilize, then his attitude towards his friends and Fang Shiming in the future..."

Zhao Jianguo didn't finish his words, but looked at Cao Yanhua.

Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice: "If you can't do it alone, then add Li Jun and Ah Hong. No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the three of you captains? The majesty of the headquarters cannot be trampled on, no matter if it's Fang Shiming or... the store manager."

Facing the shocked looks of Zhao Jianguo and Wei Jing, he showed no strange expression, but just said softly: "Notify Li Jun and the others immediately, the three of you should join forces to keep Fang Shiming, and let the store manager redeem him. I want to see whether a small worker who will cause trouble for the store manager is worth the store manager's efforts!"

So that’s it!
Wei Jing and Zhao Jianguo both breathed a sigh of relief. If Cao Yanhua was really planning to take action against the Peace Hotel and the "manager", then they would have to suspect that Wang Xiaoming had brainwashed Cao Yanhua.
