I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 471: A transaction involving hundreds of ghosts, the past and the future

Cao Yanhua's gaze swept across everyone present, especially staying on He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing for a while, feeling extremely emotional.

Both women are ordinary people.

Just because of good luck, she entered the Peace Hotel and became two of the four cooks first recognized by the "store manager" Lin Yuan, and gradually gained extremely terrifying supernatural powers.

Although Liu Qingqing's red cheongsam, red high-heeled shoes, and faceless puppet are not ranked on the list of evil spirits, they are not simple ghosts. When combined together, they are not inferior to the captain of the headquarters.

He Yuelian's ghost paintings are ranked first in the world's most evil ghost rankings, causing countless top ghost hunters to fail.

If a normal ghost rider tried to control such a terrifying supernatural power, he would definitely be in danger of death. But for Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian, it was like a piece of cake, which made people envious and jealous.

Then he looked at He Yiner, Captain Yin of the headquarters.

The former Captain Ginko was passionate and upright. Although he had his own ideas, he would never lag behind others when dealing with supernatural events.

But now?
Although he is still in charge of Ohara City and also performs the duties of captain, and also handles supernatural events within the jurisdiction, he devotes more energy to the Peace Hotel.

The most important thing is that he did not cooperate with the headquarters and did not work with Tong Qian to capture the Peace Hotel.

People's hearts are scattered!

Cao Yanhua was filled with emotion, but he didn't waste too much time. "Everyone is here for the diary of Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu. This morning, we have studied the new diary, but Captain Yinzi, Miss He, and Miss Liu were not here at the time, so let's take a look at it now."

Afterwards, Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang distributed the printed materials.

There are the contents of the diary, and also the analysis of the diary contents by the headquarters at that time. The former is relatively short, just the content of an A4 paper, but the latter part is more than ten pages long and the content is also densely packed.

The four cooks read it very seriously. After all, they also had Wang Lu's diary in their hands, and the contents inside were closely related to them.

But the first person to speak was not any of the four people, but the youngest one, Xiong Wenwen. He trotted up to Wang Chaling with his eyes shining.

Wang Chaling looked alert and glanced at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang came right after Xiong Wenwen. Seeing Wang Chaling like this, he didn't delay and directly lifted the back of Xiong Wenwen's neck, "This child has a seizure, I'll take him to calm down!"

"Let me go! I didn't hit you! Xiao Cao, you're done! When I find out the secret of why Brother Yuan chose Wang Lu, Brother Yuan will definitely invite me to the store. I can choose any position. Then I will let you clean the toilet..."

boom!
The door of the conference room opened and closed. The inside was made of gold and was filled with a lot of sound insulation foam, so no extra sound could come in.

Wang Chaling was silent for a while, then laughed coldly: "Captain Cao, you really care about the children."

"Xiong Wenwen is relatively young. After becoming a ghost rider, he hardly went to school with his peers. He also had to endure the attacks of the supernatural and the threat of death. It is our responsibility for not teaching him well." Cao Yanhua sighed. Although he felt that Xiong Wenwen was a troublemaker, he still chose to stand up for him.

Wang Chaling snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

"Let's not talk about other topics, it's a waste of time. I heard that Minister Cao reached an agreement with Wang Chaling and is willing to provide half of the funds to help him check the contents of the diary. Is this true?" He Yuelian asked.

Cao Yanhua nodded. "Yes, that's right. If Miss He is willing to cooperate, we can use the same model."

The headquarters provides half of the funds and then obtains the contents of the diary. This is a very fair way of cooperation.

Currently, Wang Lu has a total of six diaries. Wang Chaling, Tong Qian, He Yiner, and He Yuelian each have one, while Liu Qingqing has two.

Judging from the current situation.

The contents of the diary are all related to the "store manager" and the Peace Hotel, which is a very important information resource for the headquarters.

At least judging from Cao Yanhua's attitude, it is absolutely worth spending a huge price to obtain the information.

Liu Qingqing glanced at He Yuelian and said, "I don't doubt your determination, Minister Cao, but I'm a little worried. Does the headquarters have enough resources?"

The diaries in the hands of several people are about the same thickness, and there are probably only ten entries in them. One diary entry costs thirty yuan, which is ten ghosts.

Excluding the diary that has already been seen, there are nine diaries in each notebook that need to be unlocked.

There are five books in total, which means forty-five diaries, one thousand three hundred and fifty yuan, and four hundred and fifty ghosts.

Add the 240 yuan and 80 ghosts needed for the remaining eight diaries in Wang Cha Ling's hands, a total of 530 ghosts.

Even if the headquarters only covers half of the cost, that's still 265 ghosts, which is not a small number.

This is a simple elementary school arithmetic problem, and everyone present could easily figure it out in their heads - fortunately Xiong Wenwen was taken away early, otherwise the average educational level of the scene would have been lowered.

Tong Qian immediately said: "I can unlock the contents of the diary at my own expense."

She has now mastered the Ghost Smiling Face and the Ghost Crying Face. The two ghosts are in conflict with each other and have also reached a dead end. Her strength is absolutely at the captain level.

Moreover, with the protective awareness of the White Fog Ghost Realm, her survivability has been maximized.

It can be said that she is now at the absolute captain level. If she wants to deal with some supernatural events and imprison some ghosts, it should not be a difficult task as long as she is careful.

After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

Cao Yanhua, Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang, Wei Jing, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Ah Hong and others all looked over with approval.

The domestic situation is difficult right now. It is precisely because of people like Tong Qian who carry the burden forward and continue to work hard that people can see hope in despair.

But the eyes of He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing were full of mockery.

"Tong Qian's words are her personal opinion. I have no problem with the conditions proposed by the headquarters. Let's stop here today. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

He Yuelian has lost interest.

There is too little information about the "store manager" in today's diary entry and it is not very useful. Instead of wasting time playing Tai Chi with the people from the headquarters, it is better to deal with the affairs of the branch stores.

Today, after a period of recovery, Dahai City is still far from its former hustle and bustle, but it has some of the atmosphere of an international metropolis.

Only the street where the Peace Hotel branch is located was very deserted, with almost no pedestrians to be seen.

Although the nearby shops were also brightly lit, it was clear that the people in these rooms were not ordinary clerks or customers, but more like staff with special purposes.

As the gray world fell, He Yuelian appeared on the street.

Her appearance made everyone in the shops nervous. At the same time, the news was also transmitted back to Ning'an Building and reached Awu's ears.

"If she needs anything, try to satisfy it, and don't bother her."

Ah Wu once again emphasized his attitude towards He Yuelian, fearing that some newcomer who was eager to make a contribution might provoke the other party. After all, now... Ye Zhen is missing again.

That’s right, Ye Zhen disappeared again, but before leaving he left a message like “I’m going to challenge the masters and look for a new money collection. If you have any questions, come to the Peace Hotel to find me.”

At this, Awu really wanted to slam the table.

This is what he thought and did, but after smashing the table, he silently began to calculate the current number of evil spirits stored in the supernatural forum.

The last time he went to the Peace Hotel to inquire about Ye Zhen's news, he almost emptied the supernatural forum. If he goes again, does he have to sell himself?

wrong!

If I sell myself to the Peace Hotel, can I succeed?
Just when Ah Wu was doubting his life, He Yuelian had already returned to her shop. "Zhang Xianguang, you are becoming more and more annoying. You are haunting me."

In the hall, Zhang Xianguang was sitting quietly, obviously waiting for He Yuelian to come back, "I have something to talk to you about. But there seem to be too many eyes around here, do you mind?"

He Yuelian glanced at him but didn't chase him away. "Their presence will make my life more convenient. After all, I am still a living person and have my own needs. As long as they don't bother me, it doesn't matter. As for whether ordinary people come to the restaurant to eat, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Xianguang was surprised and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today. You are so nice to me."

"If you don't like it, I can change back to my previous appearance." He Yuelian snorted coldly, and her eyes became dangerous.

Zhang Xianguang smiled and changed the subject, "You probably have some questions for me."

He Yuelian sneered: "You must have something to explain to me."

"It doesn't matter. It's just another way of saying it." Zhang Xianguang shook his head and said, "Liu Qingqing's situation is very special. The residual soul in her body is very dangerous. You are no match for her."

He Yuelian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, even if you have now completely mastered the ghost painting and still have the supernatural protection of the store manager, if Liu Qingqing is willing, she can use the residual soul in her body to imprison you. As long as she finds a suitable reason afterwards, she can make you completely disappear from the store manager's sight." Zhang Xianguang explained.

He Yuelian's body and aura dropped, "Are you threatening me?"

"It's just stating a fact. After all, our goals are not in conflict." Zhang Xianguang seemed unaware of the increasingly thick paper ashes around him. He let them continue to fly around him, his calm eyes staring straight at He Yuelian.

He Yuelian stared at Zhang Xianguang for a long time, "I need results."

"If this is the prerequisite for cooperation, then it will naturally be as you wish." Zhang Xianguang said so. He Yuelian sneered: "You said the same thing before, but I didn't find that you brought me much benefit, so is your promise really useful?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you see it."

Knowing that He Yuelian was suspicious of him, Zhang Xianguang did not waste any more words. Once he brought enough ghosts, He Yuelian would naturally trust him.

Today, the paranormal revival is intensifying, which is why the ghost hunters who come to the Peace Hotel have more and more spending power.

Such an era is absolutely a feast for ordinary people and ordinary ghost riders, but for Zhang Xianguang and other top ghost riders who truly stand in the first rank, it is also a feast for the gluttons.

If Zhang Xianguang had not thought about ending the supernatural era, he would have had a very good life in the Peace Hotel.

Zhang Xianguang didn't seem to want to continue the conversation, but He Yuelian stopped him again, which made him a little confused, "Do you need me to leave something behind to prove my strength?"

He Yuelian shook her head. "I just want to ask you if you know what happened to Brother Yuan in the past."

Zhang Xianguang's pupils shrank slightly, "What do you mean?"

"We got some intelligence about things that happened decades ago. In particular, Brother Yuan's interactions with some people in the past prove that the Peace Hotel and its manager did not appear in the past year, but have been around for at least 42 or years. You were born in , right? If you have been active in the supernatural circle, you should know about him?"

Information about the "store manager" in the past is something that many people want to know, but for different purposes.

The headquarters wanted to understand the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" in order to learn about his background, understand his habits, and even find his flaws.

You can make friends with him through the information you find. If possible, it would be best to control him in your hands and make him a weapon to suppress the supernatural era, or even end the supernatural era.

He Yuelian and others wanted to understand the Peace Hotel and understand him, just so that they could live a better life. Whether it was becoming his closest person or becoming a partner with the "store manager", it was just for this purpose, not for so-called love.

This era is full of despair caused by the resurrection of evil spirits.

Their bodies have been almost completely corroded by the supernatural, so how could they have any thoughts or qualifications to talk about love?

If you want to learn about the past of the Peace Hotel, there are two best ways. One is to ask people who have lived from the past to the present, and the other is to find paper records.

Previously, the headquarters spent a lot of effort to look through county annals and other records all over the country in order to find clues.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan has not thought of embedding his own traces in history through the county annals. This is not of much help to him in using the false to refine the true and to completely imprint his own traces in history.

That’s why I chose Wang Lu’s diary.

It is a two-pronged approach that can both collect evil spirits on a large scale and embed one's own existence into the traces of history.

The number of people who have lived from the past to the present seems to be small, but also small.

There is Mr. Qin at the headquarters, but he admits that he has no memory of the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". If it were not for all the evidence proving his existence decades ago, Cao Yanhua and others would probably suspect that this was a complete scam.

Then there were Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua who lived in the Peace Hotel.

Those who have lived from the Republic of China period to the present are a living modern history. Although it is only a part, it is of great help in understanding the past.

Unfortunately.

Meng Xiaodong left the Peace Hotel on time at six in the morning and returned on time at six in the evening. Even though he took a haunted bus to and from the hotel, he never talked about the past of the Peace Hotel.

Zhang Bohua basically lives in the Peace Hotel and never goes out. He also refuses to talk about the past of the Peace Hotel, making it difficult to take action.

The only one left is Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang and the headquarters are on the enemy side. Even if Zhang Xianguang is willing to give the information to the headquarters, the headquarters dare not believe its authenticity. They even have to worry about whether Zhang Xianguang has given wrong information and misled the headquarters.

But He Yuelian had no such worries.

She and Zhang Xianguang are now barely allies, and they are still in the early stages of the alliance. If Zhang Xianguang lies to her, then what basis will there be for cooperation in the future?

Faced with the question, Zhang Xianguang fell silent.

He seemed to be recalling something, but when he spoke, he did not answer the question, but raised another question: "If you want to know about the past, you should have asked me earlier, instead of waiting until now."

He Yuelian pursed her lips and said, "Maybe I didn't think of it before. After all, I wasn't sure how credible your words were."

Zhang Xianguang nodded and did not continue the topic. "In my memory, there is indeed no Peace Hotel, nor any memory of him."

"That's it."

He Yuelian thought thoughtfully, "It seems that among your generation, only Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu, is special."

It was recorded in Wang Lu’s latest diary that, except for Wang Lu, who was actively invited by him to enter the Peace Hotel, the others, even if they entered the Peace Hotel, would have no relevant memories after leaving.

Zhang Xianguang frowned and said, "I seem to have missed a lot of things. If possible, can you tell me about it?"

He Yuelian glanced at him and said nothing, but Zhang Xianguang understood and said with a smile: "I know that all information is valuable. If you need it, I can tell you all the information I know. Although I have been hiding in the dark for the past seventy years, I have seen more and more real things sometimes."

This needs to be exchanged!

He Yuelian thought about it for a while and finally decided to exchange it, not only because she needed Zhang Xianguang's memory, but also because the information she could exchange was not unique.

It can even be said that many people know about it.

It would not be worthwhile for Zhang Xianguang to go to other people's places, so she told him the information in Wang Lu's diary and the e-sports room and virtual game in the Peace Hotel.

After listening to this, Zhang Xianguang couldn't help but sighed, "I see. I didn't expect that he had such a powerful power that he could send players back to the past through virtual games? But it seems that this method cannot really affect the past and change the present. But if it were him, he wouldn't do such a useless thing. And this method reminds me of someone."

I thought of a guy who was looking for a glimmer of hope among countless desperate futures.

An old guy who is about to die.

He Yuelian asked: "Who?"

Zhang Xianguang glanced at her and didn't answer. He just said, "It seems that the incident in 1999 can no longer be concealed. Did someone violate the confidentiality agreement?"

He Yuelian: “???”

She seemed to really believe what Zhang Xianguang said, but soon she thought of something and said with a dark face: "Are you kidding me? Do you think I have never been online and have never read jokes online?"

"Just kidding, just kidding. But if there really was such an accident that year, it might have happened around that year. I need to confirm this matter, so I'll take my leave now. If I really remember anything, I'll tell you then."

Zhang Xianguang left. He Yuelian snorted coldly and said with disdain: "What a pretentious guy. I hope you can really bring some useful information, otherwise..."

As night fell, even the members of the supernatural forum who were guarding near the Dahai City branch of the Peace Hotel did not notice that there were some people nearby who should not be there.

But most of them are ordinary people.

Even if they were discovered occasionally, they could find a suitable excuse to make excuse. After all, this was the most prosperous neighborhood in Dahai City. The fact that such a street was blocked would definitely arouse the curiosity of many people.

There are many such cases, but because they are reasonable enough, no one reports them.

It was not until the second half of the night that this situation became less common, and those who "accidentally" arrived nearby all did the same thing after returning home.

He took out a tape recorder and turned it on, and then there was a soft piano sound coming from it.

As the piano music continued to flow, these people fell asleep one after another and entered their dreams. However, the piano sound seemed more and more wrong and more and more weird.

It was like the howling of a ghost, making people tremble with fear.

However, the piano sound gradually stopped after people fell asleep, as if the tape recorder had run out of power and turned off automatically.

Zhang Xianguang had already left Dahai City and arrived at the headquarters of Dajing City, which was also the courtyard where Old Qin lived.

The moment he entered, the originally dark yard suddenly became brightly lit.

tread!
Tread!

Old Qin walked out of the room with a hunched back and a cane. He looked at Zhang Xianguang, whose figure was illuminated by the light, with cloudy eyes. "This is the first time you have taken the initiative to come to me."

"Ah, a scary guy appeared, so I need to confirm some things with you." Zhang Xianguang nodded and walked over very familiarly.

He even walked right past Old Qin, entered the room and found a seat to sit down.

Old Qin chuckled a few times and didn't care about Zhang Xianguang's rude behavior, but another person here couldn't accept it.

When Zhang Xianguang picked up the water cup and prepared to take a sip, a voice sounded from behind him, "As a former teacher at Shuangqiao Town Primary School, are you also so rude?"
