I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 459: The Greatest Limitation of Invasion
The middle-aged man had already left the Peace Hotel with his wife and children and was about to get on the carriage when he suddenly realized something:

It's time to leave.

"Sure enough, although this restaurant is scary, its rules are very simple. Eating, paying, and leaving are all in line with the restaurant's situation. I just don't know if ordinary people need to pay with ghost money after entering here, or ordinary people's money is enough. If it is the former, if ordinary people really come here, I'm afraid they will die."

Why is it not a one in ten chance of death?
Any evil ghost has its own killing pattern, no matter how terrifying it is.

The Peace Hotel is also in this list, but it's just a little more terrifying. I believe that even if you can't pay, you can survive in other ways.

For example, washing dishes to pay off debts...similar methods, but it also depends on the situation.

The middle-aged man had no intention of trying these methods. His son, as well as he and his wife, were likely to be invaded by incomprehensible spirits.

He needs to leave this mysterious place and expel the mysterious power to avoid any future troubles.

What about this restaurant?
"The level of horror here is too high for us to handle. We need to call more friends to come and take a look." The middle-aged man thought.

The woman naturally agreed with his opinion, "The gap in strength is too big. It would be better if we could ask some seniors to help."

The two of them discussed and prepared to leave, but Lin Yuan's "wait a moment" made their bodies stiffen a little. The supernatural powers that had recovered after leaving the hotel door became silent again at this moment.

Only at this moment did they understand.

The young man in front of him was the source of this mysterious place. All the horrors came from him, so, "Boss, is there anything else I can do for you? If you don't have enough money, I have more."

"According to the previous prices, this amount of money is indeed not enough, but for your sake, I'll treat you today." Lin Yuan smiled and turned his gaze to Xiao Wang Lu, "Little friend, are you interested in working here? The store has just been built, and the positions of lobby manager, waiter, chef, laborer, security guard, etc. are still vacant. I think you have a good eye, as long as you are willing, you can choose any of these positions."

"Okay... wooooooooooooooo!"

As soon as Xiao Wang Lu opened his mouth, the middle-aged man covered his mouth. Then he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, boss. The child is still young, and our family is relatively wealthy. We don't want him to go out to work. Of course, if your store is short of people, my husband and I can help you promote it, or bring some people over for you to check. How about that?"

It would be the best thing if we could form a team and bring people to deal with such a terrifying and mysterious place.

According to the boss, this store has just opened, which means the supernatural is just beginning to emerge, and it already has such terrifying abilities. If it is allowed to continue to develop, how terrifying will it be?
What about lobby manager, waiter, chef, handyman, security guard, etc.? They are positions, but they are more like some kind of puzzle pieces, right?

Lin Yuan said with regret: "Is that so? All right then."

Without trying to persuade him to stay, Lin Yuan returned to the store. The door closed at this moment, and the flashing neon sign on the door dimmed.

The white mist around began to dissipate, and the bluestone path underfoot turned back into a main road.

Pedestrians, bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, and cars also appeared one after another.

At this moment, they returned to reality from the Peace Hotel, and their sudden appearance did not attract the attention of passers-by, as if they had always been there.

Because they stopped moving, the small foreign car that was blocked behind them even honked its horn.

The middle-aged man drove the carriage to the side of the road and stopped. He looked at the little Wang Lu who had fallen asleep. The ghost domain was activated and time passed slowly, but he never stopped.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally said in a deep voice, "I didn't find anything unusual."

"Impossible! If there is nothing unusual, then why would A Lu become so weird?" The woman didn't believe it, so she started to do it herself.

However, the results she found were exactly the same.

"Let me try again."

The middle-aged man shook his head, and a cold aura emanated from his body, enveloping the carriage. On this carriage, time began to flow backwards.

This is a reboot, and it’s a reboot of scope.

The middle-aged man looked very relaxed when using this power, one minute, two minutes... ten minutes... until thirty-five minutes, when he suddenly turned pale and the range restart was interrupted.

The woman frowned and said, "Why did it stop? It's been less than three quarters of an hour, and A-Lu hasn't recovered yet and hasn't even woken up."

"I can't restart anymore. There's a white mist stopping me." The middle-aged man sighed. He had originally wanted to use a range restart to reset their state to the time before they met the Peace Hotel.

By then, everything will return to normal.

But it was obvious that the store manager had cut off the time point when it appeared. "The boss was right. This Peace Hotel should have appeared at that moment. If I restart beyond that time, perhaps it will disappear from this world. It will naturally not allow this to happen."

"What should we do now?" The woman became even more worried.

The only force that could stop the range from restarting was the range restart, but she didn't feel surprised. After all, the owner of the restaurant could suppress them in all directions, making them unable to even feel the supernatural power. It was understandable that he could do this.

What she is most worried about now is her son Wang Lu.

"At least, let him wake up first."

The middle-aged man turned little Wang Lu over and laid him on his lap, then slapped him hard.

He used so much force that there was almost a whistling sound in the air. However, after he hit it hard, no sound was heard at all, only the slightest wave of flesh on little Wang Lu's chubby butt.

A chilly breath spread throughout Xiao Wang Lu's body, causing him to hum comfortably a few times. It sounded like he was sleeping and receiving a massage.

"It works." The woman's eyes lit up and she followed the middle-aged man's example and took the photo.

The supernatural powers controlled by this couple are somewhat special, which makes their strength almost equal, and since they are almost identical supernatural powers, naturally the effects are also similar.

After being slapped for more than ten times, the sleepy little Wang Lu finally woke up.

His eyes were obviously confused, but after feeling the pain in his butt, he cried out in grievance, "Mom and Dad, please stop hitting me. I was wrong."

The middle-aged couple looked at each other, but did not stop. Instead, they continued to take pictures several times.

Lin Yuan was watching the mixed doubles match and the bamboo shoots and pork stir-fry, and nodded with satisfaction, "This way, the contents of the diary are true, and it's time for me to go back."

……

That night, the headquarters was brightly lit.

On the big screen, Dadong City is still shrouded in the white fog and ghostly territory. Cao Yanhua and other senior executives are here, keeping a close eye on the changes in Dadong City.

But compared with the initial virtual game ZS City, the scene at this time is undoubtedly smaller. At least there is no temporary command base directly next to Dadong City.

of course.

Li Jun and Ah Hong were still sent to the vicinity of Dadong City, ready to deal with possible accidents at any time.

"At present, the white fog ghost area not only covers Dadong City, but also extends to a location 19 kilometers outside the edge of Dadong City. That is the dividing line."

The person in charge of organizing the files is still Lu Zhiwen, or it can be said that it can only be Lu Zhiwen.

It was now the middle of the night, and it was not yet time to drive the ghost bus, so he naturally had time to record relevant information and do his job.

Cao Yanhua asked: "Nineteen kilometers, does this number have any special meaning?"

In the previous virtual games, whether it was ZS City or Dahai City, the white fog ghost domain only covered the city and did not extend outward.

An accident happened this time, and Cao Yanhua couldn't help but care.

Lu Zhiwen shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know the meaning of the word. If it was replaced with the number thirty-five, he might understand a little bit.

“This may be a trend.”

Seeing Cao Yanhua looking over, Lu Zhiwen continued, "According to previous speculation, the Peace Hotel will not stop at the supernatural place, but will extend its tentacles into reality. The Caesar Hotel in ZS City, the Ghost Lake in Taiping Ancient Town in Zhongzhou City, and the branch that is now opening in Dahai City are all very strong foreshadowings. However, these places are not covered by the white fog ghost domain for the time being. On the contrary, the so-called virtual game will have the white fog ghost domain covering a place for a long time. From the beginning when it only covered the city, to now extending outside the city, this should also be a foreshadowing that the white fog ghost domain will cover more places in the future."

Even……

Lu Zhiwen did not say his most terrifying guess, but everyone actually knew it.

Because as early as when the Peace Hotel appeared, Wang Xiaoming had already given a clear answer in this regard, and Wang Xiaoming would not have any scruples.

But now, Wang Xiaoming, for his own reasons, actively refused to participate in any discussion about the store manager, and this was also tacitly acknowledged by all senior executives.

In this situation, everyone, including Cao Yanhua, tacitly agreed not to mention the most terrifying possibility.

Cao Yanhua suppressed his irritation and picked up a notebook, on which he copied the news about Wang Lu's diary that Tong Qian had brought back.

"The previous virtual games were set in the ancient town of Taiping more than 40 years ago, but now it is set in Dadong City. It should be related to the content in this diary. I just don't know which year I went there in the end. I just don't know what the store manager's purpose is in doing this. Is it really just for the sake of playing with the world and making his Peace Hotel continue to be interesting?"

No one can give an answer.

But Li Jun's voice came over, "Something has changed in Dadong City."

what?
Cao Yanhua, Lu Zhiwen and others immediately looked at the big screen. Sure enough, the white fog over Dadong City began to surge, as if something was stirring up the situation. "Should we send Li Jun in to investigate?"

Cao Yanhua was a little hesitant.

Li Jun now has an official status in the Peace Hotel and has a good relationship with the "store manager". Even if he rushes in now, he should not encounter any unknown attacks.

But, it's just a possibility.

No one knows what is happening in the White Fog Ghost Realm. What if you fail to understand His arrangement, see something you shouldn’t see, and get killed to silence yourself?
Anyway, the "store manager" is just his ordinary human consciousness, and wanting to explain Li Jun's problem is just a matter of thought for him.

But what if it’s something else big?
Cao Yanhua was very conflicted. He had seen many supernatural events, but this was the first time he was unable to make a decision like now.

After all, Li Jun's existence is too important.

Not only is he a captain who is absolutely loyal to the headquarters and has great strength, but he is also a rare one among all the captains and persons in charge at the headquarters whose minds have not been influenced by Him.

There will really be a day in the future when we will fall out with the Peace Hotel, the "store manager", and Him.

Maybe even Wei Jing will turn against the headquarters under his supernatural power, but Li Jun will still stand firmly on the side of the headquarters and become the last barrier of the headquarters!

Thinking of Wei Jing, Cao Yanhua couldn't help but sigh.

If Wei Jing had not died once in the Ghost Lake incident in Taiping Ancient Town, and was finally resurrected by his spirit, and one of the ghost catcher's arms had not been given to him, so that the prefix of Wei Jing could be added with the word "ghost catcher", becoming "Ghost Catcher Wei Jing", Cao Yanhua really would not have the heart to let Wei Jing play the virtual game.

After all, Wei Jing was once one of the captains most loyal to the headquarters.

Since the beginning of the supernatural revival, there have been only three people that the headquarters trusts the most. Wei Jing is one of them, and the other two are Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen.

Now Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen are still here, only Wei Jing... Alas!

Just as Cao Yanhua's thoughts began to wander uncontrollably, Lu Zhiwen whispered, "The incident in Dadong City has stopped, and everything has returned to normal."

"what?"

Cao Yanhua was shocked again, but seeing that Dadong City had indeed returned to normal, he fell silent. After a while, he spoke again, "He knows that we are monitoring Dadong City, so is He teasing us?"

Lin Yuan was naturally not teasing Cao Yanhua and the others, and he didn't have that intention.

After returning from that era, Lin Yuan originally wanted to get back into the game. After all, he still had some ideas he wanted to try out, and virtual games were also a good project for him.

Collecting evil spirits is never for fun, but it can increase the horror of the Peace Hotel by accumulating small amounts and building a tower.

If he had not done this before, and had only relied on ghost handlers of the Seventh Elder's level, or evil spirits like Ghost Messenger, Ghost Lake, and Ghost Painting to increase the level of terror, he would probably have completely lost consciousness due to the revival of the White Fog Ghost Domain, and turned into an evil ghost that only knew how to act according to the rules of killing.

Improving virtual games and attracting more players in this way is a project that is equally important as the branch adventurer plan proposed by He Yuelian.

Previously, only four players entered.

In this virtual game, he has already tried to join the faction confrontation, and at the same time, he has pulled the evil spirits that have been collected and imprisoned in the Caesar Hotel to be NPC extras.

After all, there are always monsters in the game.

He was a little depressed that he had put so much thought into it, but ended up having to directly end the game because he came back from that era.

Of course, the reason why the white fog ghost area in Dadong City was abnormal was not because of his depression, but because of some small accidents caused by his return from that era.

Wei Jing's body, of course, still remained in the Peace Hotel.

When Lin Yuan returned to this era, he was in the body of Shen Lin, which he had invaded. That is, in the ancestral home of the Wang family in Dadong City. He was unable to fully control his own power for a while, which caused the unknown changes.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan reacted in time and curbed this change.

otherwise.

In the eyes of Cao Yanhua and others, they might think that his evil spirit had resurrected.

At this moment, opposite to him, the evil ghost that Wang Lu turned into after his death was standing there with a calm face. There seemed to be something more in his originally dead eyes.

Lin Yuan's eyes swept across the ghost and naturally looked towards the ghost's heart, where a small ball of white mist, about the size of a fingernail, could be vaguely seen, quietly gathering there.

"As long as I want, I can now go back to that era, that is, 53 years ago, by invading Wang Lu's body."

Lin Yuan naturally didn't want to use someone else's body, but unfortunately, he was not a real existence in that era, and he could only go back by invading someone else's body.

"After all, we got back through a bug. There are still some problems that need to be solved and the methods need to be improved."

Lin Yuan is still very interested in the past. If there is a chance, he wants to go back to the time when Zhang Dong had not yet become a god on earth to see what kind of ghost Zhang Dong is controlling.

Unfortunately.

Just like he just said, there are still some flaws in going back through the BUG method.

Previously in the game, he had used Wei Jing’s body to invade back, and the power he could display at that time was also limited.

You can tell from the size of the Peace Hotel.

If he borrowed the body of Wang Lu from that era, with Wang Lu's identity as an ordinary person, it is estimated that his strength would be suppressed to an extremely low level. Not to mention absolute suppression, he might be easily dealt with by the Wang family couple.

Even though the Wang family couple were suppressed by Lin Yuan at that time and had no temper, they did not take others seriously.

in contrast.

It was precisely because of his contact with the Wang family's first generation couple that Lin Yuan had an accurate assessment of the Wang family's first generation's strength, which was not much worse than Li Qingzhi's.

In other words, the couple of the Wang family together were at the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, not small fish or shrimp.

If one wants to use Wei Jing or another player's body to invade the past, one still has to play a virtual game and perform the memories implanted in the script. Only when the matching point is reached will there be a very short chance.

Lin Yuan couldn’t figure out the mechanism for the time being, but when the time came, he would suddenly feel it.

The same was true in the previous game. He originally arranged a good growth path for Wei Jing, so that he could fight against BOSS in the later stage, start BOSS battles, and have some large battlefields.

Avoid players like Cao Yang who complain that his virtual game is too difficult to play.

It was also because he sensed that fleeting opportunity that he temporarily changed the script, directly invading through the white fog ghost realm and taking over Wei Jing's body, and then invading back to that era.

As time passed, the fog over Dadong City slowly dissipated.

The headquarters had also been paying attention to the situation here. Until the sun rose as usual, the white fog in Dadong City completely dissipated, and Li Jun also brought Ah Hong into Dadong City.

In Ning'an Building, Wang Chaling opened his eyes drowsily and was unable to wake up for a while, as if he was recalling last night's dream.

Everything is so absurd, yet so natural.

"The blood curse is still there, so was last night just an extremely real dream, or was I really influenced by the virtual game and indirectly entered it?"

"If you mean last night, it's very likely that you did enter the virtual game."

There was a voice from an outsider in the room, but Wang Chaling was not too panicked. Instead, he said before looking over: "Captain Li, is it inappropriate for you to break into my home like this? Even if you are the captain, you should have your own privacy."

As he spoke, the deceased soul of the Wang family generation who was guarding him turned in one direction, staring at Li Jun and Ah Hong with dead eyes.

They seem to be ready to start fighting if they have any disagreement.

For a moment, Li Jun and Ah Hong felt tremendous pressure at the same time, and even the spiritual power in their bodies became sluggish. However, this was only the pressure brought by the dead souls of the Wang family generation, and it was not a real action at all.

"What a terrifying evil spirit! If Wang Chaling is not an ordinary person, then his strength is too terrifying, completely surpassing the other captains by a level."

Li Jun's heart sank, but his face remained calm. "Last night, the white fog ghost domain enveloped the entire Dadong City. Captain Wang should understand what I mean."

Wang Chaling is a highly educated person, so he naturally understands what Li Jun means.

"It seems that everything I experienced last night was real. I thought it was just a dream, but..." Wang Chaling suddenly looked at the dead souls of the Wang family generation, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's good."

In his memory, the Wang family has always existed as ghosts, and there is no image of them when they were alive.

But if last night was indeed in a virtual game, then he really met his grandparents when they were young, and most importantly, he also met his ten-year-old father in the virtual game, and he even called him "Uncle Wang".

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Chaling suddenly said: "Actually, this game is quite interesting."
