I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 437 Xiao Guo's Highlight Analysis, the Inheritance of the Supernatural Bus
“Am I marked by Him, or are these notebooks restricted by Him?”

Old Qin was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The last time He used His supernatural powers, He invited him to settle in the Peace Hotel, but he refused, and He did not force him.

Although He was as powerful as a god at that time, He had the dignity of a strong man and did not force him to do anything.

Just to save Wang Xiaoming's life, he joined in and chose to continue driving the haunted bus at the age of 100.

From then on, as long as he did not use his supernatural powers to spy on the future of the Peace Hotel and honestly drove the supernatural bus past the Peace Hotel three times a day, he would not attract His coming.

But now?
He still did not use the supernatural power to communicate with the future, but only used the supernatural power of restart, wanting to find the lost handwriting at a certain moment in the past.

Qin Lao pondered, and slowly said in the worried eyes of everyone: "Restarting can indeed recover the handwriting lost in the past, but these notebooks have their own limitations. Unless you choose the right path, it is impossible to recover the lost content."

Although they had already made some guesses, Lu Zhiwen and the others felt very regretful when they heard what Mr. Qin said.

Cao Yanhua suppressed his disappointment and asked with concern, "Mr. Qin, how is your health? Have you been attacked by the spirit? Are you injured?"

He didn't ask the most important question:

Does it affect the already limited lifespan?
"Don't worry. Although my old bones won't live long, they can still hold on for a while. At least I won't lie in the coffin now." Old Qin regained his kind smile.

Cao Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tong Qian who was holding a notebook, "Let's wait for Wang Chaling to come over first. According to the time, it should be about time."

"it is good."

Tong Qian put the notebook back with regret and returned to her seat.

Not long after, Wang Chaling finally arrived.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but he remained composed. "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

His eyes fell on the five notebooks on the conference table. Anger suddenly surged in his chest, but he suppressed it. He calmly walked to an empty seat beside the conference table and sat down. At the same time, he placed a new notebook on the table and turned to look at Tong Qian, "I need an explanation."

When they were at the Wang family's ancestral home, Lin Yuan asked them if they had obtained Wang Lu's notebook, and Tong Qian's answer at that time was no.

Tong Qian said: "The above content involves the store manager, so we all agreed that it is better to keep it secret."

This is the truth.

Facing such a sincere Tong Qian, Wang Chaling actually didn't know how to continue asking for a moment. Fortunately, Cao Yanhua took over the topic, "Wang Chaling, these five notebooks can only stay at the headquarters for one night and must be returned tomorrow morning. You can read the contents on it, but there is only one entry on it. I wonder if you have a way to restore the diary contents."

Having said that, I don't hold out much hope.

Mr. Qin’s words are very authoritative. Since the restrictions have been set by the “store manager”, basically only by following the path set by the “store manager” can you see the content that follows.

Letting Wang Chaling take a look also means finding out if Wang Chaling has any ancestral methods. Perhaps this method is also within the scope permitted by the "store manager".

After all, although the "store manager" is strong, he has always been reasonable.

"Let me consider."

Wang Cha Ling picked up the notebooks one by one and started reading. They were indeed the notes of his father Wang Lu, the same as the notebook in his hand.

Just the content recorded above...

It turns out that the store manager is not from my father’s generation, but from my grandfather’s generation?

Looking at the note from the year Guisi, Wang Chaling suddenly had a ridiculous thought in his mind: "Could it be that his existence can be traced back to an even more ancient time?"

It took a while before Wang Chaling put down the last notebook.

The contents of the sixth notebook he brought were also circulated among everyone present.

"When the store manager got out of the car, he almost tripped over a pendulum clock. Now the pendulum clock is placed on the wall opposite the store's door. There is also a parrot hidden inside that tells time. It should be the one that was lost in your ancestral home."

Tong Qian pursed her lips and murmured in a low voice: "I always feel that all this is somewhat familiar. Yes, He is very cold, giving everything and taking away everything."

Wang Chaling's face changed slightly, his eyes shifted, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"It is basically impossible to restore the contents of the notebook through normal means. You all know that once you enter the Peace Hotel, all supernatural phenomena will be dealt with and explained through physics and science. You can't expect the parrot in the pendulum clock to hold a pen and complete the contents of the notebook, right?"

Guo Fan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention. This made the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, "Actually, you guys think too complicatedly. It's actually not difficult to recover these diaries."

"Oh? Tell me about your idea. If it is really feasible, the headquarters will naturally remember your contribution." Cao Yanhua said, but he also did not hold out much hope.

Guo Fan's ability is not strong. If he had not been noticed by the "store manager" and had not become a formal employee of the Peace Hotel, and also a driver of the Ghost Taxi, and had not spent a lot of time with the "store manager", he would not have been able to attend this meeting now.

Even if he came, he was only regarded as an attending member, and no one thought that he could put forward any effective suggestions.

But what if?
However, the headquarters remembers the credit?

Guo Fan curled his lips slightly, showing obvious disdain and mockery, but his movements were very covert, and even though everyone was staring at him, no one noticed it.

"If you are not worried about the store manager knowing the contents of the diary, you can just pay the store manager. Don't forget, the store manager is now omnipotent, and almost nothing can stop him. As long as you pay him, he can take action. Of course, these notebooks have appeared in the White Mist Ghost Domain, and He may already know the contents. Then, as long as He is willing, the store manager can reveal the contents, provided you pay him."

"Just like what Mr. Qin said just now, the store manager has set restrictions on these diaries. The original method to unlock the diary contents cannot be implemented, and there is a possibility of backlash. Combined with the model of the Peace Hotel, paying the store manager for help is definitely a method, and it is the simplest one."

Guo Fan's words are irrefutable.

"I can give it a try. I happen to have a lot of commemorative coins in my hand. Even if a diary costs three dollars, I can afford it." Wang Chaling said. He had just sold the savings of his grandparents and father and mother, and he was full of the temperament of a wealthy man.

As the saying goes:
The son doesn't feel sorry for selling his father's land, but the generations of hardships are in vain.

Cao Yanhua did not comment and said: "Is there any other method?"

"I remember Captain Yin Zi's ability is to summon spirits." Guo Fan closed his mouth here, but everyone understood what he meant.

Wang Chaling said: "I have thought about this before. I think I should ask Captain Yin Zi first."

Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen looked over in confusion. They obviously didn't expect Wang Cha Ling to change so quickly. He just said he wanted to find the store manager, but now he turned around and went to find He Yiner?
But his choice didn't seem wrong.

"I need to send the notebooks back first. Currently, these five notebooks are kept by me, Captain Yinzi, He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing." After Tong Qian finished speaking, she looked at Wang Chaling.

If Wang Chaling wanted these notebooks...

Fortunately, Wang Chaling did not make such a request. "I need to go back and prepare first. I will go to the Peace Hotel early tomorrow morning. I wonder where Captain Yinzi is tonight. Has he returned to Dayuan City?"

Cao Yanhua immediately sent someone to inquire, "Captain Yinzi did not return to Dayuan City, and she was not seen in Taiping Ancient Town. She should be staying at the Peace Hotel."

"I understand. Let's meet at the Peace Hotel tomorrow morning."

Wang Chaling came and went in a hurry, but the others in the meeting room did not leave. Cao Yanhua solemnly said to Tong Qian, who was putting away five notebooks, "Tomorrow, pay more attention to Wang Chaling. You must be on guard against others."

Tong Qian asked doubtfully: "Deputy Minister, Wang Chaling is also the captain of the headquarters, so he shouldn't be our enemy, right?"

Cao Yanhua shook his head. "Captains are different from captains. Although the headquarters nominally controls all ghost riders in the country, compromises are often required. Ye Zhen from Dahai City and Wang Chaling from Dadong City are both of this type. It's just that Wang Chaling is easier to communicate with than Ye Zhen, and he is not as naive as Ye Zhen. He also took the initiative to accept the position of captain from the headquarters, that's all. As for Wang Chaling... no matter what, it's always better to be more careful."

Obviously, Cao Yanhua, or the headquarters, was somewhat skeptical of Wang Chaling.

Tong Qian nodded and suddenly asked, "Ye Zhen has been missing for a few months, right? Is there still no news?"

"Ye Zhen disappeared with the owner of the King's Manor of the King's Organization at the Peace Hotel. It has indeed been several months, and there has been no news from abroad. Just like Zhang Xuan, no one has seen him alive, and no one has seen his body after his death. But we have contacted Awu from the Dahai City Supernatural Forum..."

Speaking of Ah Wu, Cao Yanhua pursed his lips, and his mood was obviously a little off, as if this Ah Wu was a little special, but he did not elaborate, just said: "The supernatural forum should have a special method to determine Ye Zhen's condition. Judging from the current situation, Ye Zhen should not be dead, but is in an unknown supernatural place and cannot return."

Dahai City experienced a ghost grave incident. Although it was resolved by the "store manager", only one in ten people inside survived.

Fortunately, there is a large safe house in the headquarters building of the Supernatural Forum, which preserves most of the power, and Awu is one of them.

this time.

Powers from all over the country are continuously being invested in Dahai City, hoping to restore Dahai City to its former prosperity. After all, the geographical location of Dahai City is too special and too advantageous to be given up.

At present, Dahai City has recovered well, and its population has recovered to nearly 10 million. Its former prosperity can already be seen.

After the Supernatural Forum experienced the blow of the Ghost Grave Incident, and with Ye Zhen absent, it was no longer able to prevent the headquarters' forces from entering and could no longer fully control Dahai City.

However, Cao Yanhua and the headquarters did not fully intervene in Dahai City.

After all, Ye Zhen is just missing, not dead. If this kid comes back and sees that his hometown of the supernatural forum has been raided, who knows what he will go crazy for.

In this era, there are only two words:

Stable! At present, the headquarters of Dahai City controls the power of most ordinary people, while Awu leads the Supernatural Forum and controls the supernatural circle of Dahai City.

I don’t know if it’s because of the ghost grave incident.

Dahai City used to have only average frequency of supernatural events, but now the frequency has increased dramatically. Fortunately, they are all C-level or at most B-level supernatural events, so the supernatural forum led by Awu can still barely keep up.

Tong Qian just asked casually and did not delve into the details after hearing the explanation.

With the arrival of a new day, the originally deserted Peace Hotel began to become lively, and everything in the hotel returned to its former appearance.

Early in the morning, the tall male corpse Li Qingzhi went to the Caesar Hotel with the evil spirit Beast stored in the store, and the pianist Xianglan also came from the Caesar Hotel to work.

When she arrived, the ghost catcher Lao Fan, the watchdog the starving ghost Lao Hua, and the watchdog the knocking ghost Lao Hei had already taken their positions at the door.

He Yuelian took Xiao An and Xiao Xi to clean the store, while Fang Shiming was preparing today's ingredients in the kitchen.

He Yiner and Liu Qingqing are not here. They have gone to their respective posts - Ghost Lake Fish Pond and the commemorative coin exchange office.

Lin Yuan was not there. No one knew whether he had not come down from the third floor or had gone somewhere else.

Xianglan was not idle. After entering the store, she rolled up her sleeves to help Xiaoan and Xiaoxi, being very proactive.

It was also at this time that Meng Xiaodong came down from upstairs.

Just like hundreds of days and nights before, she would go out and take the ghost bus to some places to find materials to make a surrogate doll.

After greeting He Yuelian and others along the way, she walked out the door and walked along the bluestone path.

When passing by the Ghost Lake Fish Pond, she curiously glanced at He Yin'er who was in a daze at the door. He Yin'er also woke up at this time and looked over.

Their eyes met, and Meng Xiaodong nodded with a kind smile, then turned back and continued walking out.

"What does she mean?"

He Yin'er was confused and didn't understand what Meng Xiaodong meant. After thinking about it and not getting an answer, she was too lazy to think about it any further.

"Although the water in the town is receding, it has been flooded after all, and many places are basically impossible to recover. Moreover, it is quite far from Ohara City. If something really happens, it will be troublesome to take care of it. Perhaps, we can rebuild Taiping Town in Ohara City, or simply move Taiping Town here?"

"After we return this time, we will discuss this matter with Boss Liu and the others. After all, we cannot stay in the past."

Meng Xiaodong continued walking forward. When she was about to walk out of the path and pass by the commemorative coin exchange office, she turned her head and looked inside.

This exchange office is also designed in the style of money shops during the Republic of China period, just like the Peace Hotel.

Behind the counter stood a woman in cheongsam. Her appearance was not particularly stunning, but she had an almost perfect smile.

This smile is so perfect that if you look at it a few more times, you will feel that something is wrong, even weird and creepy.

"Still as lazy as ever."

Meng Xiaodong chuckled and spoke. This voice was also heard by Liu Qingqing who was sitting on a wooden chair in the hall. She stuck her head out and saw Meng Xiaodong. She asked hesitantly: "Grandma Meng, do you know the consciousness living next to me?"

Meng Xiaodong nodded and said with emotion: "I know her, and it has been many years. But she died quite early, so it can be considered as dying young."

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing knew that there was definitely a great familiarity between Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Youhong in her mind.

Judging from their ages, could they be sisters?

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing's eyes suddenly became alert and she stopped talking to Meng Xiaodong. Seeing this, Meng Xiaodong shook his head helplessly, left without explaining anything.

Looking at Meng Xiaodong's back, Liu Qingqing's expression changed. "I should have thought of it earlier. Zhang Bohua is willing to help you. Zhang Bohua and Meng Xiaodong are old acquaintances. How could you and Meng Xiaodong not know each other?"

"Oh, you're so smart." Zhang Youhong's voice was lazy, as if a kitten had just woken up.

If an ordinary person heard this voice, they would probably feel their blood boiling. Even if a woman heard it, she would feel overwhelmed with love.

But Liu Qingqing only sneered after hearing this, "Sarcasm? Whether I guessed right or wrong, I won't give you another chance."

Zhang Youhong smiled and said, "Your personality is a bit extreme. Be careful. If you continue like this, you might drive away the people who originally stood by you and turn people who should have been your comrades into enemies."

Liu Qingqing said: "Don't worry, even if this is the case, it is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"

Pole!
Bah!

Next to the bus stop on the highway, with a burst of rapid horn sounds, the old haunted bus rushed out of the white fog and stopped at the Peace Hotel bus stop.

The car door opened, and Meng Xiaodong got in with a basket of vegetables. Suddenly, he looked at the driver's seat in surprise. The person sitting there was no longer Old Qin, but a young man.

Old Qin stood aside and said, "This is Lu Zhiwen, a very good young man."

Meng Xiaodong nodded, "I didn't expect that at this age, you still have the mood to train a successor. This young man seems to be much worse than the young man back then."

Qin Laodao: "He is a little worse, but he is also a good child. After so many years, I have come to understand that sometimes the choice is not necessarily to be the best, but to be the most suitable."

After that, he said to Lu Zhiwen: "The rest of the journey will be up to you."

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

Lu Zhiwen nodded, his expression slightly serious.

The next section of the journey will be his first time to drive the haunted bus independently. If successful, it will be a good way to solve supernatural incidents.

All you have to do is send the ghosts in reality to the corresponding mysterious places.

Simple, yet effective!

"So this is what you were thinking. But even if it's hard work for me, I will help you take care of it this time." Meng Xiaodong smiled and pointed at Old Qin.

Old Qin nodded, then went to the back door and got out of the car.

Meng Xiaodong's eyes flashed with surprise. She obviously didn't expect that Mr. Qin would get off here. However, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she found a seat closest to the driver's seat and sat down. "Young man, let's go."

"it is good."

Lu Zhiwen nodded. Although the stop time was less than five minutes, he still reached out and pressed the button that controlled the door opening and closing, using his supernatural power to try to close the door.

Just close the car door and start the car, and you can leave here without having to follow the five-minute rule.

On this bus, the supernatural powers are suppressed, and it is very difficult to use supernatural powers. Once you use supernatural powers, they will be greatly weakened.

Therefore, the driver of the bus must have sufficiently terrifying supernatural powers, at least greater than the suppression of the bus itself.

Lu Zhiwen seemed to be struggling, but the door of the haunted bus started to move, albeit slowly, but it was still closing slowly.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaodong nodded secretly, then stopped paying attention and turned to look out the window.

At the bus stop, Old Qin had turned into a white-haired gorilla again. The crutch in his hand was thrown away at some point, and he was also looking at the driver's seat on the bus.

boom!
Finally, the door closed, and then the engine roared, slowly left the platform, rushed into the white fog not far away, and disappeared from sight.

"He is indeed a good young man. I hope his road will be smoother than Xiao Yang's and not be so...unlucky."

Old Qin turned around and said to Tong Qian and Guo Fan who had just gotten off the car, "Do you want to wait here or go in directly?"

Go in?

Where to go?

This old man is really bad!
Guo Fan said cautiously: "My post is right there, so I won't go in. If Mr. Qin wants to take a break, you can go over there and sit down first."

The place he was pointing to was the ghost taxi parked a little in front of the bus stop.

As for going into the Peace Hotel or something, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!

When Guo Fan thought of the ghost catcher Lao Fan, he felt that all the bones in his body were crackling, and he also felt an extremely painful feeling, which made his spirit begin to tremble.

Why would that guy target me instead of Fang Shiming?
Guo Fan couldn't figure it out, or he didn't want to think about the correct answer. Anyway, he would not hang around in front of the ghost catcher Lao Fan again.

Unless he succeeds in counterattacking and becomes the "store manager", or simply replaces Him as some possibility recorded in Wang Lu's diary, he will meet the ghost messenger Lao Fan.

Then, we’ll see who is whose…puzzle!
Tong Qian said, "Mr. Qin, let me take you to see Liu Qingqing first. She seems to have something to say to you alone. It is also possible that the remnant soul in her body wants to talk to you."
