I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 430: Harness his spiritual power, receive his legacy, and become...
"Zhang Bohua has made a special diagnosis. You are in the same condition as the store manager, that is, schizophrenia. You must not hide your illness and refuse to listen to the doctor's advice."

Zhang Youhong spoke with earnestness and sincerity, like an elder who is kind and persuasive.

Unfortunately, the response she got was still Liu Qingqing's mocking sneer, "You know Zhang Bohua, right? Listen to the doctor's advice? Continue to take his Chinese medicine? It seems to suppress you, but it is actually a tonic that will help you recover better?"

She also thought about it carefully during this period.

The residual ghost of Zhang Youhong haunted her when she first returned home from the Peace Hotel and encountered the ghost cheongsam, then the red high heels and the faceless puppet.

These supernatural objects hollowed out her body, turning her into neither human nor ghost.

Simultaneously.

He also brought Zhang Youhong's remaining soul here.

But at that time, Zhang Youhong's residual soul was very weak, and it could only occupy her body and do some things for a short period of time at night after she fell asleep.

But what happened after taking Zhang Bohua’s medicine?
Those prescriptions of Chinese medicine were indeed effective, allowing her to live peacefully for a few days without having to worry about what Zhang Youhong's remaining soul might do with her body.

But after each dose of Chinese medicine.

Zhang Youhong's remaining soul will be nourished and become stronger. Until now, it can be awake for a long time and talk to itself in its mind.

If she says there is no problem with this Chinese medicine, she would dare to drink up all the water in the Ghost Lake and Fish Pond!
Zhang Youhong said, "We do know each other. After all, we are from the same era. I also asked him for medicine at the beginning, but his medicine is very precious and most people won't give it to him. It's not like in the Peace Hotel, where you can drink one dose after another. It's too luxurious."

"Ah!"

If your secret is revealed, will you just change the subject?
Liu Qingqing only said one sentence at the end, "When the time is right, we will separate."

There were no technical conditions before, but ever since the robot production line in the ghost post office and the setting of those ghosts in the eyes of the "store manager" were exposed, Liu Qingqing had some ideas in her mind.

A method that can completely get rid of Zhang Youhong while taking possession of Zhang Youhong's inheritance.

That is……

Transfer Zhang Youhong's consciousness into a robot's body!
However, she cannot do this by herself. She needs the approval and help of the "store manager". But all this takes time and more importantly, opportunities.

Zhang Youhong sensed a trace of uneasiness, "Do you already have a solution?"

Liu Qingqing ignored her and refocused her attention on reality. She and He Yuelian walked towards the door that would only appear at the right time.

As she said before.

She and He Yuelian were not rivals in love, but...spiritual competitors, fighting only for a safe and stable chance of survival.

That being the case.

When it is not necessary, the relationship between the two is still very stable.

"careful!"

Guo Fan walked a little slower with Xiao An and Xiao Xi, but he noticed something rushing out of the gate and reminded them anxiously.

"Ouch~!"

A shrill wolf howl sounded from inside the gate, and then quickly approached. In the blink of an eye, three gray wolves as tall as a normal human chest rushed out from inside and attacked He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing first.

Xiao An and Xiao Xi immediately rushed forward and stood in front of He Yuelian.

A wolf bit Xiao An on the shoulder and its claws slapped Xiao Xi's chest hard. Unfortunately, the two twins seemed to have no sense of pain and raised their hands to slap the wolves.

puff!
With a dull thud, the gray wolf flew backwards at a faster speed than when it came.

The bite marks on Xiao An's shoulder and the claw marks on Xiao Xi's chest began to bleed, but they recovered within a few breaths without leaving any scars.

There were only faint traces of blood on their clothes, proving that they had just been injured.

He Yuelian finally reacted, her face looked extremely ugly, "I am no longer a vase now, I also have the power to protect myself. Xiaoan, Xiaoxi, come behind me."

Although he possessed the supernatural powers of a top ghost handler in the world, he did not respond promptly when attacked by wild beasts, or rather, by evil spirits that had transformed into wild beasts.

This made her feel very unwilling.

Looking at Liu Qingqing on the side, she was also a colleague who entered the Peace Hotel as an ordinary person and is now the biggest competitor, but Liu Qingqing's reaction was even quicker.

As soon as a giant wolf attacked, she quickly took a step back and summoned a robot with a gleaming metallic luster to block in front of her.

And there is Guo Fan.

He was obviously just an ordinary ghost rider standing behind them, but his reactions were faster.

In addition to reminding them in advance, he also took out the spirit tablet on his chest and immediately entered a hypnotic state. He turned into a powerful "retired special forces soldier" and fought close combat with a gray wolf. He even pinned the opponent down and seemed very relaxed.

It was not as unbearable as when facing the ghost.

"I have mastered the most advanced spirits, but I still have too little experience. When I go to open a branch store, I can't just sit there and do nothing. I have to go out and lock up the evil spirits and fight hard. Otherwise, why would the store manager take a fancy to me?"

He Yuelian was furious. In the white mist, peach petals had already begun to fall.

These pink peach blossom petals seemed to have life. When they fell on the three gray wolves, they drilled straight into them.

Gradually, the color of these gray wolves began to change from gray to pink.

Ghostland, invasion!
……

"Sure enough, only with enough pressure can we grow faster."

On the second floor of the old house, Lin Yuan was quietly watching the situation on the third floor.

If He Yuelian and the others could see him at this moment, they would discover that he is not just a "store manager" with ordinary consciousness and cognitive impairment about the supernatural, but the real... Him!

Moreover, if they observe carefully, they will find it.

The ghost messengers, tall male corpses, knocking ghosts, and starving ghosts wandering in the ancient house all roam around the center where Lin Yuan is at the moment.

Their supernatural powers provide Lin Yuan with the basis for his long-term existence in reality.

The uneasy feeling in the white fog ghost domain was not the influence of the "store manager's" cognition, but the fact that He had followed him here from the very beginning.

Because of His long-term existence in reality, the White Fog Ghost Realm began to revive uncontrollably.

White mist continuously poured out of His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and also continuously penetrated into His body through the pores.

This is the manifestation of spiritual revival!
But it is still within the controllable range.

It's not just the supernatural powers provided by the ghost messengers and other terrifying evil spirits that extend the power of the Peace Hotel from that unknown supernatural place.

As long as time does not exceed a certain limit, He can continue to exist in reality.

"Now there's one more good thing."

In front of Him, there was an old pendulum clock.

This is the pendulum clock in the old house of the Wang family. It can restart time. I don’t know whether it was a supernatural item obtained by the first or second generation of the Wang family, but it is an extremely useful supernatural item.

Only by restarting and looking for the right time in the right place can we find the pendulum clock hidden at a certain point in the past.

For others, finding a pendulum clock is difficult.

Restarting, especially restarting on a large scale, is not something that anyone can master. Even if some people have mastered restarting, it is still different and does not involve much time.

It was like Ye Zhen died for him.

Like Li Leping's forgetfulness.

Their supernatural works are also reboots, but they don’t have much to do with time.

Even if it involves a time restart, there is a certain time limit. Even a fully revived wish ghost can only restart within a range of forty minutes.

Lin Yuan also has his limits.

But within the scope of the white fog ghost domain, under the spiritual balance of the Peace Hotel, the time he can restart the range is far more than forty minutes.

Even he himself doesn't know where his limits are.

He had no idea of ​​exploring the limits, and he didn't need to do that now. He just needed to find what he wanted through some appropriate methods.

The pendulum clock in the Wang family’s ancient house is one of them.

Lin Yuan observed the pendulum clock.

It can be seen that a skinny corpse is curled up in the pendulum clock, and it has been integrated with the parts inside the pendulum clock.

Driven by some mysterious power, the various gears in the pendulum clock keep turning in an incomprehensible way.

"It was a method used during the Republic of China period, and it was also a genius idea. Beat one or several ghosts into a deep sleep or freeze, and then embed them into an object through some special means to utilize their supernatural powers. As long as it does not exceed certain restrictions, their supernatural powers can be used at no cost, or with the least cost."

"It restarts without rules, creating an area of ​​time disorder, so as to trap evil spirits in an area. The generation after the Republic of China was also very good. Whether it is the time cage in this old house or the ghost lake in Taiping Town - the ghost money system, it is not much different from the Caesar Hotel and the ghost post office."

"The pendulum clock is the basis for the existence of this ancient house. Without the pendulum clock, the ancient house will no longer have its spiritual power, and its existence will also be meaningless. The evil spirits imprisoned in the past will also be freed."

"This is... a good thing."

"There are many evil spirits in the old house, and there are many scary supernatural items, such as the red wooden stool, which can also be taken back to the store."

"The degree of terror of these evil spirits is limited, but they can accumulate to form a large number. Whether they are thrown into the Caesar Hotel, thrown into the ghost lake, or stored in the endless cemetery, they can provide a certain amount of supernatural power for the Peace Hotel."

"We still need to let them experience it first."

"Especially He Yuelian, who only has the supernatural powers of the ghost painting but no corresponding experience. Just now, she was almost attacked by an ordinary evil spirit. She really doesn't deserve the identity of the source of the ghost painting."

Albeit at different points in time.

But in this old house, He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, Guo Fan, Xiao An and Xiao Xi who were fighting against the evil spirits, He Yiner and Tong Qian who were trapped in the cage corridor, and Fang Shiming who was fleeing in another timeline, were all in his sight, and no one could escape his gaze. "Another hour."

"In addition to training, I also need to complete my past traces. It's not enough to just have my own people, I also need help from others."

Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Wang Chaling, who was chatting with Cao Yang outside the ancient house.

Or.

It fell on the three evil spirits around Wang Chaling.

"Wang Chaling should have a lot of items left by the first and second generations of the Wang family. When he has enough experience, I will ask He Yin'er to summon his soul and completely fix my traces in the past."

"When the time comes, even if they are dead, they will serve as an anchor for me to travel to the past, if only for a while."

In the original novel, Yang Jian learned how to use the pendulum clock from Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu, through He Yin'er's soul summoning:
The corpse in the pendulum clock is the source of power, or in other words, the power to restart the range comes from this corpse, or from this evil ghost.

The corpse's fingers kept turning the clock, making it run.

By adjusting the position of the corpse's fingers, the time of the pendulum clock can be adjusted, and once the corpse's neck turns, it means that the pendulum clock is restarted.

It should be noted that the evil ghost's neck cannot rotate 180 degrees. It must stop when it rotates to 90 degrees, which corresponds exactly to half an hour of restarting.

Once again the bell rang.

Lin Yuan did not intervene, but observed carefully, but this time time did not restart, everything was normal.

Another hour passed and the bell rang.

This time, the neck of the corpse in the pendulum clock began to turn, and soon twisted ninety degrees. Time had restarted for another half an hour.

And then…it didn’t stop.

As if affected by some unknown stimulus and influence, the corpse's neck continued to twist at a faster speed, soon reaching almost 180 degrees.

The trapped evil spirit is about to revive!
However, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed its neck, interrupting its recovery process, and at the same time a slap came over.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the neck, which was about to reach 180 degrees, returned to its original position and there was no movement.

"It was normal for decades, with no signs of recovery. I'm trying to revive it right after I arrived. Are you targeting me? If you do this again, I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and his eyes, which were filled with white mist, flashed with endless murderous light.

And his mood also affected the atmosphere in the white fog ghost domain.

Fang Shiming had returned to the hall, holding several notebooks he had snatched from the time cage in his arms. He was about to step out of the door of the old house, but suddenly stopped.

It was just because the white fog and ghost area around began to surge, as if an unknown danger was about to come.

The ghost in Fang Shiming's body became completely silent, as if it had disappeared, and the ghost coffin on his back that had turned into a set of clothes also seemed to have lost all its weight and turned into a truly ordinary set of clothes.

Cold sweat instantly dripped from Fang Shiming's forehead.

Even though the door was right in front of him, he didn't dare to take a step out.

"Yes, the store manager disappeared, but it was only the store manager who disappeared. The White Mist Ghost Domain is still there, and "He" is still there. I was too reckless and shouldn't have been so anxious. Besides, this Wang Lu is just an ordinary ghost rider. He knows nothing about the Peace Hotel, and nothing about the store manager!"

"What I should do now is not to leave and fight for that glimmer of hope, but to show my loyalty to Him. Otherwise... I will die miserably! There is also the possibility that I will not die at all, but will only sink into hell forever."

"I have to go back! Use my actual actions to prove my loyalty to Him!"

After glancing at the door reluctantly, Fang Shiming resolutely turned around, and the notebook in his arms was blown up by the wind, revealing part of the content on the first page:

[Dingchou year, August 27, heavy fog.]

【It is suitable for traveling, offering sacrifices, and burying the dead. 】

[Avoid moving, opening a business, breaking ground, and coming-of-age ceremonies. ]

[After many years, I came to the Peace Hotel again. He was still the same as when we first met. Time had left no trace on him, as if he had never existed.]

[His smile was still as gentle as ever, but the Peace Hotel had closed down for unknown reasons. His condition had also become very bad, and he was only awake half of the time every day.]

[He told me that his time is almost up and he will be revived soon. This time, he will solve his own problems. If he wakes up one day in the future, he will completely get rid of the restrictions of evil spirits and supernatural beings and become the most special kind of existence.]

【He is trying to become...Him! 】

[I thought he had already become Him, but from his mouth I learned that he was still missing the most important link, and now he needs time to make up for it.]

[He was like a teacher who taught me a lot of supernatural knowledge, knowledge that even my father, whom I admired the most, did not know.]

[He was like an older brother, protecting me as I grew up, including the ghost who restarted time. If it weren’t for him, the Wang family’s old house might not exist.]

【He was very nice to me, really very nice. 】

[However, I had a slight desire for him. I was too greedy. Even though I felt extremely annoyed and remorseful, I could not hide or control the desire in my heart.]

【Perhaps, people like me should die. 】

[Because I discovered... a way to control the Peace Hotel, control the spirit of the store manager, receive his legacy, and become... Him!]

……

"Something's wrong. What's going on? Where are the people? Why are they all gone?"

Fang Shiming took a few steps and then realized something was wrong around him.

According to the previous arrangement of the "store manager", people from the Peace Hotel cleaned up every floor and drove out the people from the Pendulum Survival Society.

Even if the cleaning is completed, without further orders from the "store manager", at least the ghost catcher and other evil spirits will not leave, but will stay where they are or wander around the area.

but.

There is nothing here. Not only are there no He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing and others, but there are also no evil spirits such as the ghost messenger, the tall male corpse, etc.

This is too abnormal!
"Is it because of the time restart that my time is out of sync with others?" Fang Shiming picked up his pocket watch and then took out his cell phone.

Upon comparison, he found something wrong.

The time on the pocket watch was one and a half hours slower than that on the cell phone.

"In other words, I am now in the real world of an hour and a half ago? If so..."

Fang Shiming looked back at the gate again and hesitated for a while. He tried to walk towards the gate, but when he was about to take a step, he took it back.

Outside the gate, it was already... blank.

That's right, it's blank.

There was nothing outside the door, just pure white, as if the Wang family's ancient house was the only building in the entire world.

But even in the Wang family's old house, it was filled with endless white fog, making the whole old house look a little pale.

"This scene doesn't look like the ghost in the old house. It looks like the store manager's white fog ghost domain has completely revived..." Fang Shiming frowned, "Now we can only wait, wait for time to return to the normal timeline. I hope it doesn't keep restarting, otherwise I will definitely be lost."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard heavy footsteps behind me.

Fang Shiming looked back vigilantly and saw a monkey appear on the third floor.

The monkey lay on the railing with its arms hanging down, staring at him with cold eyes, as if it was staring at a prey.

Fang Shiming was not afraid at all. Instead, he thought calmly, "I should have thought of this before. The white fog ghost domain has not disappeared, and the evil ghost that escaped is still in the form of a beast, which means that His power has not lost its power, and the store manager's cognitive impairment is still there. It's a pity that I finally have the opportunity to become him and Him, but I can only watch it walk away from my eyes. A monkey? Let you bear my anger!"

As if sensing Fang Shiming's murderous intent, the monkey on the third floor screamed, then turned over and jumped directly from the third floor, stepping heavily on the floor.

"It's just a monkey..."

Fang Shiming sneered, and was about to step forward and swing the "gorilla's iron fist", but his footsteps stopped again, his face looked grim, and he turned around and ran away.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

On the third floor, monkeys were seen climbing over the railings one after another and jumping down. They were smaller than the first monkey, but they were led by that monkey and chased Fang Shiming.

"Did these monkeys come from Mount Emei?"

Fang Shiming cursed angrily, but he didn't dare to stop running. "If my supernatural power wasn't restricted, I could put all the monkeys into the ghost coffin... Manager! Brother Yuan! I was wrong, please let me go!!!"

……

"I seemed to hear Fang Shiming's screams. Did you hear them?"

Outside the door, Wang Chaling rubbed his ears and asked in confusion.

Cao Yang nodded and glanced at everything inside through the door, but unfortunately, apart from the wandering ghosts and other evil spirits, there was no sign of Fang Shiming.

"Maybe your theme park is too fun. The people from the Pendulum Survival Club should have cleared out the place by now. Shouldn't you go in and thank the manager?"

Wang Chaling was about to refuse when his expression suddenly changed.

He felt that there was suddenly a sense of danger in the white fog and ghostland around him, as if his next words would determine whether the hidden terrorist attack would come.

It is His power!
It is His will!
Wang Cha Ling sighed secretly, "Although I had guessed that the store manager would not be used so easily, but when the time came, I still felt a little..."
