I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 429 It’s not about love, it’s just about living well
[The food in the restaurant is delicious, but my parents don’t seem very happy, as if they are afraid that my big brother will snatch me away, even though the food here is so delicious.]

【After finishing the meal, our family left. 】

[Before I left, my older brother told me that if I felt tired one day, I could go to the store and choose any position I wanted. I happily agreed. Then when I got home, my parents spanked me. It hurt so much.]

【But why? 】

"This Wang Lu... should be a diary he wrote when he was young. It's very organized, but it can't hide his childishness. I never thought that the Peace Hotel and its manager appeared more than 60 years ago, and they even invited the second generation of the Wang family to work in the Peace Hotel. It seems that he should not have entered the Peace Hotel, otherwise, he would never have died so early. The first generation of the Wang family may know something about the Peace Hotel, which is why they were so wary when they met, and they were so disgusted with entering the Peace Hotel to work."

Tong Qian analyzed it carefully, then turned to the next page and was stunned for a moment, "No more?"

"The information in the notebook does not belong to the present. It requires the bell in the ancient house to see it. But there is still a diary that has not been read. Perhaps there will be more information." He Yiner said.

Tong Qian nodded, picked up the first notebook and started to look through it.

I didn't read the first piece of information immediately, but flipped to the back ones.

Both notebooks were filled with writing, but except for the first article, the rest of the contents were incomplete, with many strokes missing, and the contents could not be seen at all.

"You're right, there must be a corresponding bell sound. And these notebooks should all belong to Wang Lu, recording his experiences and memories from the time he can remember to the present. If we can get them, it will definitely be of great help to the research on the past, especially the research on the Peace Hotel and its manager." Tong Qian said.

He Yin'er was thinking about something else. "If it was really just a simple record of the experience, Fang Shiming would never have attacked us. What he saw must have been very important information."

"Go find him after you finish reading this message. He can't escape in the white fog ghost area." Tong Qian said.

[After more than 20 years of not seeing him, he still looks the same. Time has not left any traces on him, and he still has that gentle smile. But this time, I finally understand why my parents wanted to stop me from joining the Peace Hotel, why... they were so scared.]

He is gentle and willing to help anyone in need, no matter what the request is.

[He is very low-key. Even though countless people have entered the Peace Hotel, few have heard of his name.]

[He is generous and can grant immortal bodies and immortal consciousness.]

【He... He is very indifferent, giving everything and taking away everything. 】

"This... they actually use parallel sentences, and it looks so..." Tong Qian didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

"despair."

He Yin'er took over the topic, and after a brief moment of daze, Tong Qian's eyes fell on the last line of words and she nodded slowly, "From him to Him. And... giving everything and taking away everything, it is indeed extremely despairing. The rest of the content cannot be seen for the time being. We should leave. We cannot let Fang Shiming leave. At least let others know what happened here."

"Let's go."

The two walked out along the same path they came from, but stopped after a few steps because there were suddenly some unusual movements in the originally empty corridor.

It was a cell in the middle section. From inside came the roar of a wild beast, echoing throughout the entire corridor.

The two looked at each other and were about to speed up and rush over, but they were a step slow after all. A huge black shadow directly broke two iron fences and hit He Yiner directly, bringing her to the wall with a loud bang.

puff!
This time, the ghost clothes on He Yiner did not provide absolute defense. She directly spat out a mouthful of black blood. The severe pain attacked her nerves. She suppressed the trembling of her body and took out a ceramic cup lid from her arms.

"Roar!"

A huge roar sounded, and Tong Qian realized that the black shadow was actually a lion the size of a calf. Her face suddenly changed, "Go!"

"Giggle cluck!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

The smiling cat on the left shoulder and the crying cat on the right shoulder made sounds at the same time.

The sounds of crying and laughing echoed in the corridor. This narrow space had a great bonus effect on sound-related supernatural beings. In just one breath, they were superimposed several times.

The lion's claws had already knocked the ceramic cup lid out of He Yiner's hand, and then it lifted up again, and when it was about to fall on He Yiner's head, it suddenly trembled.

The attack of laughter and crying finally had an effect.

He Yin'er quickly took out another black hairband, and the next moment, the figure of an old man in cloth clothes appeared behind her.

His body was so thin that he looked like he would fall down if the wind blew.

Her long white hair was very soft, casually tied up with a black hairband, blowing in the wind.

Then the figure merged into He Yiner's body. She looked up again, and the whites in her eye sockets had disappeared, becoming dark and deep.

This is also the time.

The magical effect of the laughter and crying on the lion disappeared, and the fishy-smelling claws slapped down again.

He Yiner raised her hand, without any trace of worldly touch, and caught the giant claw. Her other hand had already been pressed on the lion's chest at some point.

"go."

With a low roar, the lion seemed to have been hit head-on by a speeding truck, and flew backwards into the fence from which it came.

He Yiner followed suit and chased in.

The sounds of banging and roaring continued, as if an inhumane torture was going on inside.

It was too dark inside and Tong Qian couldn't see clearly what was happening inside.

Half a minute later, He Yiner came out from inside, her body stained with unknown blood, which stained her white mourning clothes.

"Let's go."

Tong Qian nodded and looked at He Yiner cautiously, but did not ask about her strength or what happened in the cage.

But in his heart, he was thinking: "The supernatural manifestation of the necromancer, in the store manager's cognition, has become a descent of gods? Possession? Or something else. It is really too scary that a woman of ordinary quality can have the power to tear lions and tigers apart alive! In comparison, the supernatural powers of the crying ghost and the smiling ghost are greatly restricted... Or maybe it's the ghost that turned into a lion just now. It's too scary?"

After the experience just now, the two were particularly careful when returning.

Fortunately, no other beasts escaped from the cage, but when they came to the iron door they entered, their faces changed drastically.

"How could that be! Where's the road?"

The rusty iron gate is still there, but the area outside the gate is empty and the stairs leading here are gone, as if they had not been built when the game map was being modeled.

"The road disappeared? This is impossible! If the road disappeared, how did Fang Shiming leave? Or did he hide in prison?" Tong Qian frowned, unable to believe what she saw.

He Yiner took out her pocket watch, looked at the obviously wrong time, frowned and said, "The time is wrong. We were not half an hour ago, but twenty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds ago."

Tong Qian: "???"

……

"It seems that your choice this time is very good. You actually took advantage of the store manager. That's awesome." Cao Yang appeared outside the Wang family's ancestral home at some point.

He watched calmly as Wang Chaling killed members of the Pendulum Survival Club one after another, as if he was watching a play.

After killing another member of the Pendulum Survival Club and imprisoning the evil spirit that was about to revive, Wang Chaling said, "If this can be considered as utilization, then the headquarters has utilized the store manager much more than I have."

Cao Yang did not refute because it was the fact.

The headquarters even went further and tried to establish a completely new world view for the "store manager" so as to control both the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

It is really worrying that such an extremely terrifying supernatural power is controlled by a person with obvious cognitive impairment.

To this end, the headquarters has formulated a special plan.

This plan was eventually abandoned after His existence was confirmed.

While the two were chatting, a few more people came out. Wang Chaling was about to take action as usual and asked his grandparents and mother to take action together.

But after seeing who was coming, he quickly stopped and asked, "You guys don't want to play anymore?"

Not many people came out.

He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, Xiaoan, Xiaoxi and Guo Fan.

"What is the situation of this old house? Wang Chaling, I hope you won't hide anything anymore." He Yuelian said in a cold tone.

No threatening words were said, but it was more effective than any threat.

only because……

Wang Chaling raised his head slightly and saw countless pink peach petals falling from the sky, which was beautiful and intoxicating.

His eyes were blurred for a moment.

Suddenly, the two terrifying old men appeared beside him, and he regained consciousness. He said fearfully: "I am entertaining you with good intentions. This is what the manager taught you?" "How dare you mention Brother Yuan to me? Tell me quickly, where did you hide him!" Liu Qingqing was very angry.

Wang Chaling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"Is there something wrong with your ears, or are you pretending to be stupid? We have searched the entire old house. Brother Yuan, and He Yiner, Tong Qian, and Fang Shiming who were with him are all missing. Don't tell us that you know nothing." Liu Qingqing said coldly.

At this point, Cao Yang was a little unsettled. "Captain Wang, you attacked the store manager, but are you also going to implicate your colleagues?"

Tong Qian and He Yiner are both members of the headquarters.

He Yin'er is also one of the twelve captains of the headquarters, guarding the peace of the area and preventing it from being disturbed by evil spirits.

Although Tong Qian does not have the status of captain, she is one of the leaders responsible for attacking the Peace Hotel, and her status is no less than that of He Yiner and Wang Chaling.

As for Fang Shiming?
It would be better to die early.

Wang Chaling noticed something was wrong and quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I definitely don't mean to attack the store manager or the headquarters members. It should be a special situation in this old house, but I don't know what happened specifically."

"This is your old house, don't you know it? Wang Chaling, think before you speak." Guo Fan sneered.

At the same time, he felt very happy.

How could I not feel unhappy when I scolded a captain so openly and he didn't even dare to talk back?
Anyway, Guo Fan felt very good and would come more often if he had the chance in the future.

As for worrying about the “store manager”?
That is Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian. Given the strength of the "store manager", even if Wang Chaling had the courage, he wouldn't dare to take action.

At this time, Wang Cha Ling glanced at Guo Fan, and at the same time, he also looked at the two old men behind him who looked like portraits.

Guo Fan: "..."

"I have been in the paranormal community for a relatively short time. I have been studying abroad for the past few years, just like an ordinary person. I didn't come back until something happened at home. When I came back, the old house had been occupied by someone. My father died in an accident and didn't have time to tell me about the old house. So... I am really sorry."

Wang Chaling bowed his head slightly to show his apology. It can be seen that he was sincere. "Guo Fan, you are a member of the headquarters and a member of the Peace Hotel. Before coming here this time, you should have read my information with Tong Qian."

Guo Fan's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to lie in the end. He nodded to Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian and said, "According to the information collected by the headquarters, it is indeed true. But if you say that he has no information about this old house, I don't know whether others believe it or not, but I don't believe it anyway."

"No matter what, finding Brother Yuan is the most important thing now. Liu Qingqing, I suggest you stay and look after Wang Chaling." He Yuelian said.

Liu Qingqing said: "My strength is too weak, and he has at least three ghosts around him. Are you sure you are not seeking revenge by keeping me here? I think that you who control the ghost painting are enough to fight against most of the ghost masters in the world. Wang Chaling is just relying on the blessings of his elders, but he is definitely not weak."

He Yuelian just said, "It's up to you."

Then she walked out of the old house again.

And the pink peach blossom rain falling from the sky also disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Liu Qingqing and the others looked at each other and followed in.

"It seems that you have offended them all. Then you have to be careful. These are probably the majority of the employees in the Peace Hotel, and they are basically all women. They have always had a good memory." Cao Yang said with a smile.

Wang Chaling was very calm. "After all, he is just an employee. For the store manager, as long as he can produce enough evil spirits, he will get corresponding rewards. Unfortunately, I have quite a few of these evil spirits."

Cao Yang said: "I hope you can always be so confident."

In the old house, all the members of the Pendulum Survival Club have been cleared out, but instead of becoming safer, this place has become even more dangerous.

only because.

After completing the orders of the "store manager", the ghost messenger Lao Fan, the tall male corpse Li Qingzhi, the watchdog the knocking ghost Lao Hei, and the watchdog the starving ghost Lao Hua, actually began to wander between the three floors and the hall.

Liu Qingqing and her friends were employees of the Peace Hotel, which is why they were able to avoid being attacked.

other people?
I'm afraid that the moment I step into the ancient house, I will suffer an unimaginable and fatal attack!

"Brother Yuan and the others disappeared on the third floor. Let's all go there and take a look. No matter what, we have to at least find Tong Qian and the others to get the answers."

He Yuelian, in her red wedding dress, was very conspicuous in the white mist, just like the red cheongsam worn by Liu Qingqing.

Neither of them wanted to be left behind, so they went up to the third floor together.

"It's really scary. You guys wouldn't be like this too, would you?" Guo Fan shrank his neck and turned to question Xiao An and Xiao Xi.

pity.

The King twins ignored him and followed him upstairs.

Guo Fan: "..."

There was nothing on the third floor, but the few of them found the wall with the outline drawn on it.

"This is the only place that is special. Maybe there is a door. The members of the Pendulum Survival Club have been here for so long, so they must have made some discoveries. This kind of man-made trace is probably a hint that there is a door here, but it will only appear at a specific time."

He Yuelian took out the pocket watch and then picked up her mobile phone to compare them.

"The time in the old house has been advanced by half an hour. If you want to find the correct time, you may need to wait for the next bell."

Guo Fan nodded. "The bell has rung three times. The first time it was half an hour earlier, and the second time it was half an hour faster. The two times canceled out, and the time in the ancient house coincided with reality again. The third time it was half an hour earlier. According to the one-hour time interval, the next bell will be one minute later, and it should be half an hour faster."

"You can wait for one minute. I just don't know if your guess is correct. If it is not, we can only find other ways." Liu Qingqing said in a sad voice.

It was clearly a very calm tone, but Guo Fan felt very regretful and wanted to slap himself.

Let you talk too much!

"These two big guys are obviously jealous of each other. Even if you speak up and give a normal analysis, it is likely to be considered as taking sides. Although there is nothing to be afraid of, it is also very troublesome! Or is this pair of twins from abroad who are really good. They can talk but just don't say it, and they don't offend anyone!"

Guo Fan made up his mind and stopped talking, pretending to be dumb.

Liu Qingqing snorted lightly, and a minute passed in this strange atmosphere. As expected, the bell deep in the ancient house rang again.

"The time has come, maybe... no, the time has not returned to normal, but has advanced, and continued to go to the previous time, another half an hour?" He Yuelian's face changed.

Liu Qingqing sneered, "It seems your analysis is also wrong! The bell sounds here are random, but you thought you found a pattern."

He Yuelian said in a deep voice: "Although there are some problems with my guess, the problem is not big. Look, the door has appeared!"

Liu Qingqing turned her head and saw that there was indeed an old door on the wall where there were only traces of a door frame.

Guo Fan couldn't stand the atmosphere here, so he walked forward and opened the door, and saw the stairs leading up.

"The sound of the bell represents time. This staircase leads upwards, but this old house only has three floors, and we are on the third floor. So this is an unknown mysterious place, representing space."

Guo Fan gave his analysis and then shut up.

"Brother Yuan and the others should have gone in, but even if we went in we might not be able to find them. The sound of the bell separated everyone's time. Some places will be affected by the time of the bell, but some places will not. The person who built this old house is really amazing. He used the bell to divide time and created a mysterious place. The limited space can be reused, and the evil spirits can be imprisoned in the past, so that they cannot invade and return to the present. It is a genius design."

Although she had not actually entered the cage that held the evil spirit, Liu Qingqing still expressed such a guess.

Or.

It was Zhang Youhong in her mind who told her. Otherwise, no matter how smart she was, she was just a modern woman who had not experienced too many supernatural events. How could she think of these things without enough information?
"Let's go. We have to go in and look for it no matter what." He Yuelian said only one sentence.

Liu Qingqing narrowed her eyes, while Zhang Youhong in her mind chuckled, "Your opponent is very smart. With just one sentence, he offset all the useful information you just said, and also showed his loyalty. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, if this happened in our era, he would at least be a master of palace fighting."

"These are what she was taught by the family she came from, so it's not surprising that she behaves like this." Liu Qingqing responded in her mind.

There is now less tension between the two consciousnesses.

perhaps.

Maybe they realized that no one can do anything to anyone else.

Zhang Youhong was surprised and asked, "From your tone, it seems that you admire her quite a lot? Aren't you two rivals in love? How come you have forgotten your differences so quickly?"

Liu Qingqing said calmly, "She and I are not rivals in love, at least for me. It's true that I have a crush on the store manager, but I don't know if it's my own will or the influence of the spirit. Now I can still clearly distinguish all this, which also explains a lot... Fighting for the position of the boss lady has nothing to do with love. Now we are not qualified to fall in love, it's just to live a little easier and safer, that's all."

Zhang Youhong smiled and said, "It's good that you have such an understanding. In the era of the supernatural, people are too naive. They always die quickly, miserably, and early. Go there early. Everything I have is there, and you can inherit it."

Liu Qingqing said: "By the way, let your consciousness take over my body?"

"Of course not. By then, we will merge and become a brand new existence. Just like the fusion of two schizophrenic personalities, we will still be ourselves, but we will become stronger. By then, even if we don't rely on others, we will still be able to live well."

Zhang Youhong's voice was filled with a strong sense of temptation.

Unfortunately, Liu Qingqing just sneered in response, "You are wrong, we are not two schizophrenic consciousnesses. You are the invader!"
