I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 427: Ghost Agent Service, the "Truth" of the Wang Family's Old House

Fang Shiming was very happy, as he hadn't felt this happy for a long time. But the others in the old house were unlucky as they had to be beaten twice in a row.

You know, they weren't killed.

Therefore, even if the bell's magical sound turned back time to half an hour ago, it did not erase their memories, and they knew clearly what had just happened:
The "store manager" and his men killed them like monsters in a game dungeon...

Unable to resist.

Can't refuse.

Fortunately, they didn't know what was waiting for them outside the old house, and they always regarded Wang Chaling as a waste with the title of captain in vain. They only knew that they would be temporarily driven out of the old house and felt a little humiliated, but they didn't know that what was waiting for them was a hunt by at least three complete evil spirits.

Lin Yuan was not idle either.

Half an hour is enough.

However, we need to prepare in advance. According to the speed of these survival club members, it will take three minutes to get out of the gate.

In other words, when defeating these survival club members, you have to leave three minutes in advance to avoid being forced to return to the original position for half an hour by the time mechanism.

"Wait! That's not right. I'm here for team building, not to play role-playing games. How did you get the main purpose mixed up?"

Lin Yuan slapped his forehead and then he remembered the main purpose of this team building.

"Brother Yuan, what should we do next?"

Fang Shiming resumed his familiar way of addressing him. He clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

Lin Yuan could see that this kid definitely had a tendency to violence, and he would only behave himself in front of Lao Fan. Thinking in this way, it was actually a good thing for them to be together.

With Lao Fan watching over him, Lao Fang won't do anything too outrageous.

"Let's go look around first to see if there is anything interesting. What do you think?" Lin Yuan thought of this idea.

Discover the secrets!

It can enhance teamwork and prevent the other party from going further down the path of violence. It is a good choice.

Tong Qian, who is usually not very proactive, is very active now. "Sure, I prefer exploring unknown secrets to fighting and killing. Da He, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he winked at He Yiner.

As long as it involves leaking the secrets of the Peace Hotel, He Yiner can still stand on the side of the headquarters, so she nodded and said, "I think it's good too."

"Okay, it's settled then. Let's go, that corridor looks very mysterious, we can go and take a look!"

Without asking Fang Shiming's opinion again, Lin Yuan took the lead and walked towards a corridor deep in the third floor, and Tong Qian and He Yiner followed quickly.

Although Fang Shiming felt a little regretful, he had no choice but to follow along.

On the second floor, Guo Fan and Liu Qingqing walked together. In front of them was the tall male corpse Li Qingzhi and the watchdog, the starving ghost Lao Hua.

It’s been a long journey.

Li Qingzhi was in charge of breaking down the door. He wielded a tetanus-resistant hatchet with great force, and the door to this floor could not be blocked at all.

Just one cut and it would be chopped into pieces, without any surprises.

Then the starving ghosts will rush in directly and swallow the ghosts of the survival club members who have turned into beasts in a few bites, and no one will be able to escape.

On the contrary, Guo Fan and Liu Qingqing basically had no chance to take action.

"The boss' instructions are so thoughtful. We don't even have to do anything to clear the entire floor. It's the greatest happiness to have them do it for us! If we had such helpers in dealing with supernatural incidents in the past, we wouldn't have..."

Guo Fan's eyes dimmed a little.

He thought of his former teammates at the headquarters, especially those who had just joined the headquarters. Only a few of them are still alive today.

There was also a girl he had a crush on...

In the foggy ghostland, the lost feelings were found again. There was happiness and pain. I really don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Liu Qingqing did not have so many feelings.

She was still somewhat reluctant now. If He Yuelian had not been taken along by Lin Yuan, she would have definitely taken the initiative to follow.

Instead of being like now, staying with Guo Fan, a stranger.

"He Yuelian has two king-level brothers, Xiao An and Xiao Xi. Should I also find some helpers? Guo Fan..." Liu Qingqing glanced at Guo Fan, then showed a look of disgust.

This kid is too weak, I look down on him.

Guo Fan: "??? Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Qingqing pouted and said, "You also called me Xiao Liu?"

Guo Fan: "...Sister Liu!"

"That's better. Little Guozi, behave yourself in the future and I will protect you in the store, do you understand?" Liu Qingqing looked like a big sister and patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, looking like a big sister.

The disgust just now disappeared, leaving only a strong excitement.

"I've watched so many Hong Kong movies before, and I was a little confused as to why those people like to have followers. It turns out that this feeling is really good!"

"You are just a weakling who can't even control a complete ghost. You are useless. What is there to be happy about? If you really want a younger brother, go and subdue these two ghosts in front of you. Then you can take the opportunity to kill He Yuelian, and no one can compete with you for Boss Lin."

Deep in my heart, a voice exactly the same as my own came out.

Yes, Zhang Youhong!
Liu Qingqing's heart sank, "Get out of here!"

"You and I are one, destined to be inseparable. Xiao Liu, your strength is too weak, and you want too much. There will always be a day when you will come to me for help. I am waiting for you."

Zhang Youhong's voice gradually disappeared.

But Liu Qingqing's mood just couldn't improve.

Her "condition" has changed a lot. It is no longer like before, where she suddenly loses consciousness and her body is controlled by the residual soul of Zhang Youhong.

This is a good thing.

But the problem is that Zhang Youhong's consciousness seems to have fully awakened. In her mind, she can speak whenever she wants, without the need for her consent or approval.

You may hear her voice at any time and anywhere, and it may affect your judgment.

and……

Liu Qingqing bit her red lips. "Her proposal is really tempting. I was shaken several times and wanted to agree to her proposal. I don't know what the consequences of agreeing to her proposal will be, but it will definitely not be good. But... I really can't hold on any longer!"

Liu Qingqing was just an ordinary white-collar worker before.

If she had not entered the Peace Hotel by chance, she might have died in a supernatural incident by now. Without sufficient tempering, she would not have been able to regulate herself well.

When the starving ghost finished eating another ghost and Li Qingzhi broke open a new door, she was awakened by the sound of the door breaking.

Then she realized that Guo Fan was standing very far away from her with a look of fear on his face. She immediately said unhappily, "Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"No, that's not the case. Sister Liu is gentle and skillful, how could she eat people? She was probably frightened by Lao Li's big move."

As he said that, Guo Fan ran back happily, but his heart was in turmoil. "Damn it! That feeling just now was much more terrible than eating a human."

It turned out that when Liu Qingqing and Zhang Youhong were talking in their minds, the spiritual aura around her continued to grow stronger.

When the "store manager" is not around, all settings are maintained in a most basic state, with no special restrictions on the leakage and influence of supernatural powers.

He was really frightened by the terrible and oppressive feeling just now, and even felt a sharp and stinging feeling as if the facial features were about to be torn off.

"Maybe it's not wrong to call you sister."

……

The noise on the first floor is much quieter.

Even the ghost catcher Lao Fan didn't do much. When he arrived at the door, regardless of whether the door was closed or not, the knocking ghost Lao Hei walked straight forward and raised his dog leg to knock.

Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
The knocking ghost's supernatural outburst was so powerful that the people and ghosts inside couldn't resist it at all.

If Lin Yuan had not ordered not to kill anyone, perhaps all the people and animals would have been wiped out long ago, and it would not be like this now. The supernatural power of the knocking ghost only affected the evil spirit and temporarily restricted it.

And when the evil ghost that turned into a beast "fainted", the people in the room would abide by the rules of the game under the forced control of the white fog ghost realm and walk out of the door.

He Yuelian just followed the two ghosts quietly. What she was thinking about was not the so-called team building, but the relationship between her and the "store manager".

As she walked, she suddenly turned around to look at the king's twins who were following closely beside her.

The twins were still in the form of little gorillas at this time, also looking at her in confusion, as if they didn't understand why she was suddenly looking at them.

"How do you feel at the Peace Hotel? Don't be silent, I know you can talk."

Xiao An and Xiao Xi looked at each other and finally said, "It feels... good."

Their voices were hoarse and unfamiliar, as if their throats had been badly injured and they hadn't spoken for a long time.

This is true.

No one except themselves knows what they have been through, but ever since they became ghost riders, their external image has not been very good.

It was like a doll, not cute, but with a weird appearance and lips sewn tightly together...

The ability to speak, which is common to ordinary people, was a luxury that was deprived of them until they entered the Peace Hotel.

In the eyes of the "store manager", they are cute.

So even if they become little gorillas, they are still very cute in the eyes of others at first sight, and they will not have any negative feelings because of their appearance as little gorillas. In the perception of the "store manager", they are lonely.

So they can actually speak, but because of their personalities, no one thinks of speaking. But as long as they want, they can still speak.

"I like my life now." Xiaoxi added.

He Yuelian nodded and looked up at the third floor. She could vaguely see the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes closest to the outer wall of the third floor. "Everything in the store comes from Him. I can help you get more attention, more recognition, and a better life, but you have to help me."

Xiao An and Xiao Xi looked at each other and nodded in unison, "We have been standing together for a long time."

A bright smile finally appeared on He Yuelian's face.

……

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the bell in the old house rang again. Lin Yuan took out his pocket watch and cell phone and looked at them. He was surprised and asked, "Is the time back to normal this time?"

Tong Qian and others were also watching, "It seems that the bell in this ancient house has two effects, one is to go back half an hour, the other is to move time forward half an hour."

"The alternation of time reversal and time acceleration will allow the time in the ancient house to maintain a balance within a certain range, so that it will not go back to a few months, years, or even ten or dozens of years ago." He Yiner was also thinking.

To the "store manager", it's just a game.

But to them, everything in the old house is a real and terrifying supernatural effect. After the "store manager" leaves, this place will once again become the most terrifying supernatural place.

"Time and space are also related here, you see."

Fang Shiming pointed to a wall in front of him. This was the end of a corridor, and before the bell rang, it was just a simple wall.

At most, someone had painted the outline of a door on it.

But when the bell rang, an old wooden door appeared in the outline, as if it had always been there.

"Let's go in and take a look." Lin Yuan suggested.

Fang Shiming nodded and took the initiative to step forward and open the door. Among the people traveling with him, one was the boss and two were women. Even for the sake of his own image in front of the "store manager", he had to take the initiative.

The rusty iron bolt creaked when it was pushed, giving people the feeling that it would fall off at any time.

After the wooden door opened, there was a gloomy staircase inside. This staircase was very strange as it extended upwards instead of downwards.

This is the third floor.

For a tall male corpse like Li Qingzhi, he could almost touch the roof with his hand. Logically, there should be nothing upstairs.

But the steps inside the wooden door on the third floor actually go higher.

Moreover, a faintly sickening stench of corpse wafted down from the steps inside, as if a body was rotting. The temperature inside seemed particularly cold, and occasionally some strange noises could be heard.

Looks like someone is moving around?

"So the theme of this old house is horror?" Lin Yuan covered his nose with a look of disgust.

He Yiner glanced at him, but a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. She quietly stepped back and said to Tong Qian, "Be careful next time."

"You too. He defines the theme here as horror. Maybe some scary things will really appear, even... ghosts." Tong Qian felt a little regretful.

The headquarters had communicated with Wang Chaling before.

They wanted to work together to improve the setting of the theme park at the Wang family's ancient house, but after being rejected by Wang Chaling, they did not force it.

But now, everything seems to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Unfortunately, regret is no use anymore, and one can only act according to circumstances. On the contrary, Fang Shiming's eyes are flashing with excitement, and he seems to be very happy to see this scene.

The stairs are very steep and the corridor is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. And looking up, the stairs seem endless and there is no way to finish them.

Fang Shiming walked in front, frowning, "Brother Yuan, we can't finish walking up this staircase."

"Space is very mysterious. There must be other mechanisms to get out of this staircase, otherwise we will be trapped here. Xiaotong, Dahe, what do you think?" Lin Yuan asked.

He actually has a way out.

With the "golden finger", these things can't stop him at all. He can exchange useful information at any time, and the cost is just a few pieces of meat.

He now has a large reserve of wild beasts and doesn't care about such a small consumption at all.

Now, if we cultivate the teamwork ability of the store employees and let them truly become a team, they can better serve the store.

He Yin'er thought for a moment and said, "This staircase is affected by... spatial ability. Our perception may also be affected. Since we can't go up, let's go back."

The team then turned around, but after walking for a while they found that the road they came from had turned into an endless staircase and the wooden doors were gone.

He Yiner's face darkened.

Tong Qian said: "Perhaps we need some other methods. According to what you said just now, our perception has been affected, and both up and down have been misled. What about forward and backward, are our perceptions also affected?"

He Yiner asked, "What do you think?"

"Close your eyes and walk backwards." Tong Qian said.

Closing your eyes can avoid misleading spatial perception to a certain extent, while walking backwards is a new attempt.

If you fail, just keep moving forward with your eyes closed.

With the "store manager" around, the dangers they may encounter have been reduced a lot. If they don't dare to try this, then what's the point of being a ghost rider.

Fortunately, this attempt was successful.

One step, two steps... When the number of steps reached ten, He Yin'er paused slightly, and she felt a hard and cold wall.

The wall seemed to appear suddenly.

Before, I walked forward hundreds of steps and back dozens of steps, but I didn't encounter it until I used the current method and walked back with my eyes closed, and finally I encountered it.

She looked back and said, “It worked.”

Lin Yuan, Tong Qian and Fang Shiming also turned around and saw a rusty iron gate standing behind them with a dim yellow light hanging on the ticket.

The light seemed like it was about to go out at any moment, and the light could only cover the iron gate and could no longer spread outward.

"It really is a horror theme. When I open the door, there won't be anything..."

Lin Yuan muttered, and Tong Qian, who was closest to him, quickly turned around and covered his mouth with both hands, "Boss, don't say anything."

Lin Yuan: ?????
I feel disliked.

Lin Yuan looked depressed and pointed at his mouth.

This action made Tong Qian's face slightly red because she felt the breath from Lin Yuan's mouth.

In the white fog ghost realm, they are no longer eroded by the supernatural and affected by evil spirits. She is still a woman after regaining her normal emotions.

of course.

She devoted herself to her work and career. Even if she had some work ideas about the "store manager", she would not fight for the position of boss's wife like Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian.

Lin Yuan noticed her embarrassment and did not want to cause any more trouble, so he quickly changed the subject, "It's an iron door. All along the way here, the old house had wooden doors. It seems that there are really many strange things here. Let's go in and take a look. I want to know what interesting things are in this old house."

"it is good."

He Yiner nodded and tried to push open the iron door.

The door was not locked and showed signs of being opened. The gap between the doors was not even tight and was easily opened by He Yiner, revealing what was behind the door.

This is a quiet and dim corridor.

On both sides of the corridor are rusty iron fences, which separate each other to form independent small rooms.

"It looks a bit like a prison cell. What did Officer Wang's home do in the past? How come there is such a secret place in the old house? Who is this place used to detain? Are we going to discover some secrets that cannot be revealed to the public?" Lin Yuan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

As he thought so, the white mist that had been pouring in a long time ago began to surge slightly.

The next moment, He Yiner, Tong Qian and Fang Shiming all felt the uneasy and dangerous feeling in the air, and their expressions changed immediately.

Fortunately, they have been with the "store manager" for so long that they know exactly why this happened and won't run around like headless flies.

"Brother Yuan, don't get too caught up in the drama. This is just a theme park. Maybe it was arranged like this on purpose. Besides, two epoch-making technologies, space and time, are used here. Do you think that the Wang family decades or even hundreds of years ago would be able to use the technology that was only developed in the last two years?" He Yiner advised helplessly.

Tong Qian was the same, "Da He is right, Boss, you really should not get too caught up in the drama. We are all a little scared."

"Ah? Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm just particularly easy to get into the role. But you guys too, it's a theme park, so you have to immerse yourself in the theme. You're just wandering around like this, without any sense of involvement at all." Lin Yuan complained helplessly.

No, thank you!

He Yiner and Tong Qian, and even Fang Shiming, who was eager to see the world in chaos, all thanked Lin Yuan in their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

This place doesn't look serious at first glance.

Moreover, the people imprisoned inside are definitely not normal people, or ordinary people. They are most likely ghosts, or very likely powerful ghost riders.

If the "store manager" really confirmed this, they would have no choice but to do it themselves.

Even if you don't die, it would be very unprofitable if you were attacked and had to fight back.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan’s main goal was to listen to advice and he didn’t forget the main purpose of this team building. He wouldn’t force it, but he noticed one thing.

He walked forward, stopped outside the iron fence of a room, and frowned.

In order to prevent someone from covering his mouth again, he did not speak out, but just thought in his heart: "The gaps between these fences are too big. Is it because the workmanship is too rough and not delicate, or is this place not used to lock up people, but to lock up wild animals? Could it be that the Pendulum Survival Club and the occupied Wang family's old house... are these really just theme parks, or are they, like Luo Qian, a laboratory that combines space and time technology to target wild animals? Aren't Liu Baimu and the others all experimental subjects or sacrifices?"
