Chapter 460 Shen Lin’s Memory, Wood·Lu Zhiwen

“This game is quite interesting.”

Wang Cha Ling said so, and it was also his true feelings. After all, having his father call him Uncle Wang when he was a child... Although it was a bit contrary to Tian Gang, it was indeed a very interesting thing.

Just thinking about what little Wang Lu would say to him later, he felt very heavy-hearted.

When he was born, his father Wang Lu was already quite old and shouldered the burden of the family, but he was willing to allow himself to refuse family responsibilities as he pleased.

Really.

It was hard to tell that Wang Lu was a ruthless man who had carried a gun to the battlefield at such a young age. He was so gentle to him...

On the contrary, the mother is very strict.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his back. He quickly turned around and saw the ghosts of Wang Lu and his wife standing behind him, staring at him with dead eyes.

"Dad, I was wrong!"

Wang Chaling was obviously feeling guilty. He was frightened by the sudden noise. Coupled with the memory of being taught a lesson by little Wang Lu in the game before, he subconsciously apologized.

He even thought: "Could it be that my father's ghost is still conscious, heard what I said, and recalled his childhood memories, so he came to beat me up?"

At this moment, he almost covered his butt with his backhand.

Fortunately, he held back, otherwise it would be 100% embarrassing now.

After a brief eye contact, Wang Chaling remembered that the order he gave to Wang Lu and his wife last night was to guard the Wang family's ancestral home at night to prevent any accidents from happening.

Now that it is daybreak, it is normal for the souls of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu to return.

Wang Chaling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Li Jun and Ah Hong, and said, trying hard to suppress his emotions: "Captain Li, what's the matter with you guys?"

Li Jun said, "I just came to check on you, Captain Wang. Since you are fine, then there is no problem. I just hope you can go to the headquarters today and explain your experience last night so that we can make a supernatural file."

All information about the Peace Hotel will be recorded as a supernatural file.

This is not a secret at the headquarters, even the most ordinary responsible persons know it, but this information is not all the information.

After all, the existence of the Peace Hotel is no longer a secret. Not to mention the person in charge of the headquarters, even a new ghost rider may enter the Peace Hotel by accident.

Only some important messages will be recorded.

If a group of responsible persons have relevant information, they can provide it to the headquarters. At the same time, they will also receive some information feedback about the Peace Hotel, which can be regarded as a kind of reward mechanism.

Only people like Wang Chaling, who are strong and have participated in virtual games, will receive special attention from the headquarters.

Wang Chaling said: "I will go there in the evening, but now I have to go to the Peace Hotel."

He spent money in the store yesterday afternoon and bought the content of a diary. Today was the day to pick it up, and he didn't want to waste it.

Moreover, during last night’s virtual game, it seemed that several people saw themselves being spanked?

"it is good."

Li Jun nodded and took Ah Hong away, which made Ah Hong a little puzzled, "Are we just leaving like this? He obviously has a lot of secrets that he didn't tell us."

"Wang Chaling is different from other captains. He needs to consider many things from all aspects. As for the information in the game, don't worry. With Cao Yang and the others here, there will be no omissions."

After Li Jun finished speaking, he reported the news of Dadong City to the headquarters.

After listening to the report, Cao Yanhua said, "Don't go back to the headquarters yet. Go look around to see if there is any trace of Shen Lin."

"clear."

Li Jun was born a soldier and even rose to the position of major general in special operations, so he always adopted a military style in his operations at the headquarters.

There is never any objection to orders.

Dadong City is not small, and finding a person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, Li Jun cannot use the ghost domain. His ghost domain is too conspicuous and can be seen by ordinary people.

If you saw a green flame in the mountains in the middle of the night, it would at most scare a few people and be regarded as a ghost story.

But now it's broad daylight, and if the ghostly fire covers Dadong City, how many people will be scared?

Moreover, Wang Chaling would definitely not allow this to happen. A conflict would likely occur at that time, which is something Li Jun does not want to see.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to find Shen Lin.

Li Jun brought Ah Hong to the Wang family's ancestral home and sat down on a bench on the road.

This bench looks very much like the style of the Republic of China period, but it is relatively new. I don’t know if it was refurbished or simply made recently, but just in the style of the Republic of China.

After the two of them sat down, half of the bench was occupied.

Li Jun sat in the middle, while Ah Hong sat on the left side near the armrest. Not long after the two of them sat down, a figure appeared on his right.

Although he appeared suddenly, no one passing by felt anything strange, as if he had been there all along.

Even Ah Hong looked a little confused.

Only Li Jun looked at the man calmly, "Captain Shen's strength has reached a new level."

This person was none other than the person in charge of Daxia City, Captain Shen Lin. However, his expression was not very good and his tone was very stiff. "I would rather there was no such change."

This is already the third time.

Around nightfall, he would lose consciousness, and when he woke up again, he would appear in another city - the first two times were the ancient town of Taiping near Zhongzhou City, and this time was next to the Wang family ancestral home in Dadong City.

If it happened only once, Shen Lin would only wonder if he was a resurrected evil spirit, causing him to constantly restart and lose his memory.

But by the second time, he already had doubts.

He is an outlier among outliers, because he is a person who does not exist in reality but only in memory. If you want to kill him, you can only do it in memory.

Besides, it doesn't matter if you kill him once, because he will restart.

Of course, he himself is even more alien than the aliens, and the restart ability he possesses is naturally very different from the restart of other people.

You can control the reboot of others, but you just need to worry about the price you have to pay for the reboot, and don't let the evil spirit revive directly.

In that case, restarting would be meaningless.

His reboot is different. He cannot control it by himself. Instead, he needs to be killed as a condition for the reboot. Death is not the end for him, but it will make him wake up in another memory and invade the reality again.

When a new memory invades reality, it is no longer the present, but a certain period of time in the past.

He will lose all his memories of the future, and the more times he dies, the more things he will forget, and the fewer people will remember him, until he is completely forgotten and disappears from this world.

With this method of restarting, he will only forget the memories of the future, definitely not the memories of the past.

So there is only one possibility, that is, there is something wrong with his memory, and there is a being who is far more powerful than him who has tampered with his memory.

Before, he was still wondering who it was, but now he understood a little, "My situation should be closely related to the manager of the Peace Hotel, the one you mentioned, right?"

Li Jun was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Did you overhear my conversation with Wang Chaling?"

"It's not eavesdropping, it's just that you didn't notice me." Shen Lin said as a matter of course, without any embarrassment of eavesdropping on other people's conversation.

But maybe, what he said was true?
Li Jun did not dwell on this point too much. "If you want to know the specific situation, you can come with me to the headquarters. The deputy minister will explain it to you."

He did not choose to explain it to Shen Lin in detail here. After all, Shen Lin's situation was somewhat special, and he had an unclear relationship with the store manager.

Li Jun felt that Cao Yanhua should be the one to decide how to face Shen Lin.

"You should at least tell me something about the situation. You can't let me come here without knowing anything."

Without Li Jun's suggestion, Shen Lin had the idea of ​​going to the headquarters.

There are the largest and most comprehensive supernatural files about the Peace Hotel and its manager. I believe that if you go to the headquarters, you should be able to find the most comprehensive information.

But before that, since Li Jun came to find him, he obviously knew some information.

If Li Jun is unwilling to speak, it means that the headquarters' attitude towards him in this regard will be rather ambiguous. Then, can he really get the information he wants by going to the headquarters?

Caution is the most basic ability for every ghost rider who has made it this far.

Li Jun noticed Shen Lin's vigilance, but he didn't mind. He said very sincerely: "Since you heard the conversation between me and Wang Chaling, you should know that a game took place in Dadong City last night, a game initiated by the store manager. In this process, you are a very important part, but we don't know the real effect you played in it. It's just that you participated in several rounds of virtual games launched by the store manager before. But now it seems that you don't know, or you don't have any memory of it?"

Shen Lin looked solemn.

His own supernatural powers are also recorded at the headquarters, but the records are not complete, and he has hidden some of the most important secrets.

He wasn't ready to say it now.

But according to Li Jun, he could probably guess some of the situation. "It seems that my feeling is correct. After the Ghost Lake incident, my body has been in trouble. I have always been afraid to go to the Peace Hotel. It's not because I am worrying about nothing, but because I have been affected. So my body, or my spirit, instinctively resists contact with the Peace Hotel and the manager, but..."

But unfortunately, this approach is of no use.

The store manager can still find him easily and... invade his body and borrow his supernatural powers.

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Lin's forehead, and a great fear and uneasiness surged from the bottom of his heart, making him feel more disgusted and fearful of the Peace Hotel.

But the strange thing is.

This feeling came like a storm, but receded like a tide, and finally returned to calm. When all consciousness returned to calm, Shen Lin thought indifferently: "There is indeed a big problem with my body. Perhaps I must go to the Peace Hotel and have a good talk with the manager to solve this problem. At least... under the premise that I can't resist, I have a certain right to know."

Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Jun heard something in his earphones. He listened and said, "Captain Shen, how are you thinking about it? Do you still have any doubts?"

Shen Lin came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No more, let's go."

"it is good."

Li Jun nodded, and went to the airport in Dadong City with Ah Hong and Shen Lin, traveling like normal people, instead of using the ghost domain to turn into rainbows at every turn. Sitting on the plane, Shen Lin asked: "With your current strength, I thought you would use the ghost domain to take us back to the headquarters."

Li Jun said: "I didn't apply for a flight route."

Shen Lin looked at Li Jun in surprise, then looked at Ah Hong who was smiling beside him, "This joke is really not funny at all."

"Maybe." Li Jun said and closed his eyes, just like a normal person who had stayed up all night and needed to rest and catch up on sleep.

Shen Lin seemed to be thinking about something.

It was not until the plane they were on took off that Wang Chaling retracted his gaze, picked up the phone and said a few words, then took out the store manager's business card and handed it to the ghost of his father Wang Lu.

Wang Lu's ghost took it, and supernatural power surged instinctively.

The next moment, white mist surged out of the business card and quickly enveloped the room where Wang Chaling was. Under his feet, the smooth floor of the room also changed and turned into a straight asphalt road.

Wang Chaling glanced at his grandparents and his parents, thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa and grandma, you should stay at home today and watch over the ancestral home. If anyone breaks in again, control them and wait for me to come back."

As soon as the words fell, the two ghosts of the Wang family generation disappeared without a trace, returned to reality, and went to the Wang family's ancestral home.

Wang Chaling then took the second generation of the Wang family, namely Wang Lu and his wife, and walked forward a few steps.

With just these few steps, although the originally pitch-black fog did not dissipate, the vision could now see farther.

After just a few steps, Wang Cha Ling could see the bus stop not far away and the ghost taxi next to the bus stop.

"By this time, the ghost bus should have left, right?"

Although Wang Chaling has not been involved in the Peace Hotel for a long time, he still has a thorough understanding of it.

Including the haunted bus.

This bus was once the headquarters' mascot. It is now driven by Mr. Qin, and usually makes three trips to the Peace Hotel every day.

It is said that this was arranged by the store manager who personally went to find Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin is also the only person who has actually seen Him.

But no one knows whether it is true or not, and Mr. Qin has never revealed any information in this regard.

No one, including the headquarters, was able to get any relevant information from Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin also refused to participate in the headquarters' discussion about the store manager.

Mr. Qin drives this mysterious bus to the Peace Hotel every day at three times: just after six in the morning, noon, and before six in the evening.

Every time I come to the store, in addition to welcoming some customers, I also send some ghosts over.

It is said that these are also some of the conditions agreed upon by Mr. Qin and the store manager, that is, by Him, but again, no one knows whether they are true or not.

Some people dared to ask the store manager, but almost no one could see Him.

It is already past eight in the morning, almost nine o'clock. At this time, it is obvious that the haunted bus has passed the time limit.

As for why Wang Cha Ling is so concerned about the movements of the supernatural bus?

He heard that some time ago, when he had just arrived at the Peace Hotel, there was almost a car accident here.

Some people were almost hit here, which is a pity to think about.

The haunted bus is a very scary thing. It would be such a happy thing if we could knock that guy to death.

"Beep! Beep!"

A heavy horn sounded from behind. Wang Chaling turned around subconsciously and saw two headlights shooting out from the depths of the white fog.

Then, he felt the back of his neck tighten and his whole body flew up.

The mysterious bus slowly rushed out from the white fog and slowly stopped at the bus stop. Then the door opened, and several wild beasts rushed down from it and fled in all directions.

“Welcome~”

“Welcome~”

“Welcome~”

A strange sound came from the entrance of the bluestone path. Several wild beasts that were about to rush into the thick fog stopped and then walked towards the bluestone path woodenly.

The ghost bus did not leave immediately. If there was no driver operating it, it would stay here for five minutes.

The next moment, another person got out of the car.

“Lu Zhiwen!”

Wang Chaling gritted his teeth and uttered these words. Lu Zhiwen, who heard the noise, looked over and said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't see you just now. Fortunately, I didn't bump into you, otherwise it would be my fault."

Here, even the ghost rider who has been deeply corrupted by the supernatural will be restored to normal state.

The same is true for Lu Zhiwen.

Otherwise, he would not get off the bus at all, but would drive away directly in the haunted bus.

Wang Cha Ling snorted coldly, "Why, you almost bumped into me just now, and you want to get away with it with just an apology?"

Lu Zhiwen pursed his lips and said, “Look, should we start from your…elder’s mouth?”

"Ok?"

Wang Chaling was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw a huge tiger head with a pair of tiger eyes as big as copper bells staring at him.

Only then did he realize what had happened.

As an ordinary person, he had no way of avoiding the sudden attack of the haunted bus. Fortunately, he did not leave Wang Lu and his wife in Dadong City.

This is also true.

After entering the white fog ghost area, Wang Lu turned into a tiger. The ghost bus held Wang Lu's neck and jumped to the side, avoiding the impact of the ghost bus.

Otherwise, the Wang family's blood curse would be broken by Wang Chaling, since he hasn't left four generations of the Wang family yet.

"Dad, put me down."

Kind of embarrassing.

Even though Wang Cha Ling was in his twenties, he still felt a little embarrassed. Mainly because he remembered his interaction with little Wang Lu in the game last night, and the more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.

Tiger Wang Lusong spoke, and then he and his wife, Wang Chaling's mother, stood guard behind Wang Chaling on the left and right.

“It feels good to have my parents’ support.”

Wang Chaling's heart settled down. "Just think of it as you owe me a favor, okay?"

Lu Zhiwen frowned and said, "I would rather you make a request. How about this, aren't you going to the headquarters tonight? We can talk about it in detail then."

"it is good."

Seeing Lu Zhiwen preparing to get in the car and leave, Wang Chaling suddenly asked, "You shouldn't be here at this time. Are you waiting for me on purpose?"

"My situation is a little special, don't get me wrong."

Lu Zhiwen did not explain the specific situation. Obviously, there were some secrets involved. Wang Chaling looked at him for a few seconds, and then looked at Guo Fan who was watching the fun on the side. "He has been coming here very frequently recently?"

Guo Fan touched his belly, smiled, stretched out his hand and made a common gesture.

Wang Chaling narrowed his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a long time before he said, "This news is not worth a damn."

"That depends on what you think." Guo Fan shrugged indifferently and closed his mouth.

Wang Cha smiled with great spirit, "It seems that the local environment really shapes the local people. You are just a taxi driver, and you dare to ask for such a shady price?"

Having said that, he still took out a three-yuan new version of ghost money, which is a commemorative coin, from his pocket.

"Thank you, boss! Since you are so generous, I won't mind your indirect criticism of the store manager. At least I won't exaggerate in front of the store manager."

Guo Fan immediately laughed, and then said, "Captain Lu has been coming here several times a day these days, but he's not targeting you, Captain Wang."

"understood."

Wang Chaling didn't say anything more, turned around and stepped onto the bluestone path.

Guo Fan looked at Lu Zhiwen with a smile again, but unfortunately Lu Zhiwen ignored him and got on the bus directly, then drove away in the haunted bus.

Guo Fan's face darkened, "Humph, poor bastard."

But he only dared to curse behind her back.

Just as he said, in the past few days, Lu Zhiwen drove the ghost bus to the Peace Hotel several times a day, and brought a few ghosts with him every time.

Adding up every day, there are at least twenty-three ghosts.

This accounts for a small part of the Peace Hotel's daily turnover and constitutes a small part of the revenue. For this reason, the "store manager" will give Lu Zhiwen certain privileges.

"This Lu Zhiwen, he won't use this to bribe the store manager, right? If so, it would be too insidious!"

On the haunted bus, back to the normal place where it was dark all around and there were winding roads under the wheels... In the haunted place, the breath of the living was quickly dissipating from Lu Zhiwen's body.

Countless wood grains began to emerge and in the blink of an eye they covered his body.

This is no longer a human being, but a wooden man that has been resurrected by a ghost, or a ghost.

But in Lu Zhiwen's eyes, the original position of the pupils had disappeared, and instead, there were two balls of thick white mist, eerie and strange.
