I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 513 Zhang Dong's invitation, a one-month appointment

A cold air surged in all directions, and the lights around began to flicker, and finally went out with a bang.

Darkness is coming.

It was a darkness deeper than the night, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. At the same time, it seemed that there was some terrible creature moving around in it, looking for something.

The horrible scene continued, and before anyone knew it, several minutes had passed.

A lazy voice sounded, "Lao Qin, are you performing a show? If so, this show is not very good. We need to rehearse more."

As the voice sounded, the darkness quickly faded away, the lights came on again, and everything returned to normal.

Lin Yuan looked at Old Qin with calm eyes, even with interest.

Originally he was a little worried, thinking that Old Qin was ready to fight him to the death, so he went to invite the dying Zhang Dong out.

Or maybe Zhang Dong felt that his existence was a great threat, so he wanted to fight before he died and take himself away.

Lin Yuan still wasn't very sure about Zhang Dong, even though he could easily suppress the other seven elders of the Republic of China.

But in the mysterious revival, Zhang Dong’s strength is still a big mystery.

Even after Yang Jian became a god, he never really fought Zhang Dong head-on, but Zhang Dong was able to reach out from the past to the future with the help of Yang Jian.

In addition, it is like an eraser that can erase all supernatural means, so it cannot be overemphasized.

This is also the reason why Lin Yuan has not been to the ancient house in the forest until now. Even the matter of Zhang Youhong inducing Liu Qingqing to go there was suppressed by him through hints.

But if Zhang Dong really wanted to fight him head-on, he would not back down.

At that time, we will see who is stronger and more terrifying!

When Old Qin took action, he was already prepared to fight Zhang Dong, but to his surprise, he waited for several minutes but Zhang Dong never made a move.

For a moment, he was actually a little disappointed.

As he spoke, Lin Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although he still couldn't achieve a balance between the Peace Hotel and the White Fog Ghost Domain, he had already increased the level of terror of the Peace Hotel.

If the White Mist Ghost Domain had not recovered too quickly, according to the state it was in when he had just separated the consciousness of an ordinary person, the Peace Hotel would now be able to achieve a balance with the White Mist Ghost Domain.

Even so, the gap is not particularly far, otherwise Lin Yuan would not have been able to walk out of the Peace Hotel and stay there for such a long time without being eroded by the white fog ghost domain.

Lin Yuan can now say that he has mastered the control of the white fog ghost domain.

When he came to the headquarters, the area was completely shrouded in white fog and ghostly territory, providing supernatural support for his appearance in reality.

It can be said that except for some gold products and safe houses, the entire headquarters is under his control.

However, now, in his perception of the white fog ghost domain, the white fog ghost domain in the area behind him was suddenly dissipating, or something was forcibly squeezing in.

Someone is invading the White Fog Ghost Domain, and succeeded?

this person……

Lin Yuan looked back and saw a winding path extending from an unknown place, and on both sides of the path there were densely packed trees.

These trees exude a cold and chilly aura and look extremely ominous.

At the end of the path, an old house stood in the distance.

Because the distance was too far, and because the invasion was not very successful, when Lin Yuan looked over there, it seemed as if there was a world between them, and he couldn't see clearly.

One could only vaguely see that the door of this old house was open.

There are two big red lanterns hanging on both sides above the gate. The lanterns emit a hazy red light, lighting up the location of the gate. You can also see a hunchbacked old man standing there quietly.

At the same time, the old man was also looking in Lin Yuan's direction.

Even the picture looked somewhat similar, but the old man's eyes seemed to penetrate everything, staring at Lin Yuan across the world and the ghost realm.

This eye contact did not last long.

In less than a minute, the old man turned around and walked back into the old house. The invading path, the surrounding woods, and the old house in the woods all disappeared at this moment.

Lin Yuan turned his head and glanced at Old Qin. He picked up the teacup in his hand and slowly poured the tea in the cup onto the ground. "This former god of the world is going to die eventually. I will go to pay my respects to him in a month."

After a pause, he suddenly laughed again, "I thought he was here to cause trouble for me, ready to fight me, but I never thought he was just here to send me an invitation. I have participated in some funerals before, but they were basically the children of the deceased who came to announce the death. This is the first time I have received an invitation from the person concerned. It's quite interesting."

Old Qin lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, but he couldn't help but tremble slightly when he spoke, "Everyone will die one day. He has lived longer than me. But Boss Lin is indeed worthy of his personal invitation, but in this month, can we see more of Boss Lin's presence... in the past?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "The virtual game will naturally continue. I once heard of a theory that time does not exist at all, but we forcibly separated the past, present and future. I used to disdain it, and even now I don't believe it, but I have to admit that it gave me a good inspiration. Lao Qin, in a month, I hope you can stay at the Peace Hotel."

This is an invitation and also an arrangement.

Qin Laodao said: "Let's talk about everything after his funeral. Boss Lin shouldn't mind. After all, the current me can no longer communicate with my future self."

It’s not that there is no way to communicate, but that we have given up on our own initiative.

Because he knew very well that Lin Yuan had tampered with his identity. Although it was just a surveillance, he had no way to eliminate this kind of supernatural power. Even restarting the range had no effect.

As long as he uses this supernatural power, the supernatural power remaining in his body will be activated instantly, and Lin Yuan will be brought over at the same time.

At that time, Lin Yuan will also forcibly rely on his supernatural powers and use him as a medium to communicate about the future.

He had no way of determining Lin Yuan's future, and it was impossible for him to give Lin Yuan the power to communicate the future. Otherwise, if Lin Yuan's nature was evil, then in the future when Zhang Dong died, there would not be even a glimmer of hope for this world.

But now, Lin Yuan gave him a deadline of one month, which was also the time after Zhang Dong's death, so he could only keep delaying.

"Okay, let's talk about it later. It's almost time, I'll go back and rest. Young people need a lot of sleep, please forgive me."

As the white mist dissipated, everything returned to calm again.

Only Old Qin, Cao Yanhua and Cao Yang who were drunk on the table were left. The strong smell of alcohol spread in the courtyard and soon disappeared without a trace.

Old Qin picked up the wine glass.

In the eyes of Cao Yang and Cao Yanhua, this cup is a glass of strong liquor that can make ghost riders feel like being drunk.

Since they were in the white fog ghost realm, the ghost rider's supernatural powers were suppressed and his emotions and physiological state returned to normal, so getting drunk was not a big deal.

But in the eyes of Old Qin, the glass did not contain any wine at all, but a terrifying supernatural power.

Those who can make a ghost rider drunk always have stronger supernatural powers, and the state of being drunk is also just a performance. In essence, the consciousness is suppressed by the supernatural power, which then simulates the feeling of being drunk.

This is the truth behind why Cao Yang and Li Jun from the branch were drunk.

Time passed, and soon more than two hours had passed. It was almost six in the morning when Cao Yang and Cao Yanhua woke up from their drunkenness at the same time.

"The manager's wine is of good quality. Although it is intoxicating, it does not give you a hangover."

Cao Yanhua is getting a bit old, and he often has to work overtime at the headquarters. Although he keeps exercising and taking care of the team, he is still a bit tired.

He hadn't experienced being drunk for a long time.

When he woke up from being drunk this time, he was still worried that his body couldn't bear it, but after feeling it carefully, he found that he didn't have a hangover at all, not even the feeling of staying up late.

Instead, it felt like I had a deep sleep, with both my mental and physical state feeling more relaxed than ever before.

"This wine is good, but I don't know if I can buy some from the store manager."

The more carefully he felt it, the brighter Cao Yanhua's eyes became.

Since he started working at the headquarters, he even quit drinking in order to prevent uncontrollable things from happening after drinking.

Including most of the staff at the headquarters, everyone has given up a lot for their work.

Under high-intensity work, many people's bodies are in sub-healthy condition. If the "store manager's" wine can be popularized, future work will definitely be much easier.

This is not wine at all, it is clearly a health supplement, and the kind that produces immediate results!
As a ghost rider, Cao Yang has a clearer understanding of his own status. "The quality of this wine is indeed good, but I suggest that it should not be popularized on a large scale."

Seeing Cao Yanhua's puzzled expression, Cao Yang explained, "When I just woke up, I felt a spiritual power in my body, but now it has dissipated. So last night's wine is essentially an extension of the store manager's spiritual power. Although it is good for the body and will disappear after the person sobers up, it is inevitable that there will be other effects."

Cao Yang did not say what the impact was.

But Cao Yanhua knew very well that this was because he was worried that the "store manager" would use these supernatural powers to influence people's minds and make them develop an uncontrollable liking for him.

After realizing this, Cao Yanhua's face turned pale, and he immediately used the simplest and most direct testing method:
He was thinking about imprisoning the "store manager" or even killing him.

After a series of tests, Cao Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief. "My consciousness is still normal, and I have not been affected in that way. But your worry is correct. Maybe the spiritual power in the few glasses of wine is not enough, so it did not produce a similar effect. Old Qin, what do you think?"

Old Qin glanced at the two of them and just said one sentence: "You have already eaten the food at the Peace Hotel." Cao Yanhua was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it would be inappropriate if I continued to be hypocritical. From the current situation, just eating and drinking, food will not be affected by consciousness. We should still stay in the Peace Hotel, at least stay in the White Fog Ghost Domain and the Peace Hotel for one night, to have a similar effect."

"What about the purchase of alcoholic beverages?" Cao Yang asked.

Cao Yanhua glanced at him and said, "Whether you purchase this wine or not, there is no limit on you."

"Hehe! I'm just showing concern for my colleagues. I don't have any other intentions." Cao Yang actually laughed smugly, causing Cao Yanhua to roll his eyes. "I always felt that the Peace Hotel was lacking something. Now that we have wine, it's finally complete."

He is not very old.

If he had not become a ghost rider, he would still be in college now, and perhaps he would drink. Unlike now, even if he can drink freely, no alcohol can make him feel the same.

Unlike the wine brought out by the "store manager", it makes you feel extremely refreshed after drinking it and has no side effects.

People like Cao Yanhua also need to worry about whether their consciousness will be affected.

Cao Yang's consciousness had been influenced a long time ago, and he would not have any thoughts that were detrimental to the "store manager". Even when other people had similar ideas, he would instinctively want to stop them.

If that's the case, then what is there to worry about?
"After things here are over, let's go to the Peace Hotel for a drink." Cao Yang laughed, having already made plans in his mind.

As his uncle, how could Cao Yanhua not see what he was thinking?
But Cao Yanhua did not stop him. "Let's go check on the situation at Ping An Hotel. I hope nothing serious has happened."

At this time, Ping An Hotel was still under control. Zhang Lei, Lu Zhiwen, Zhou Deng and Guo Fan were also guarding outside the hotel until Cao Yanhua and Cao Yang arrived.

Cao Yanhua checked the time. "It's almost six o'clock. The Peace Hotel opens at six. They should be coming out soon. Everyone, stay hidden. Don't trigger the killing pattern."

The killing pattern of the ghost catcher Lao Fan has been changed.

It's not just directed at Fang Shiming, but also at others.

If anyone prevents its "date" with Fang Shiming, or makes this "date" unreasonable, the ghost messenger Lao Fan will be revived.

Of course, this is just the result of the current analysis by the headquarters, but no one dares to bet that this result is wrong.

Soon everyone hid themselves, and pedestrians began to appear on the streets near Ping An Hotel, but all of them were disguised as staff from the headquarters.

It's dangerous, but this is their duty and mission.

"I should go drive the bus."

The only one who left early was Lu Zhiwen. This bus was for Lin Yuan and Old Qin's date, and it was a fixed one. "It was just right to pick up Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger and send them to the Peace Hotel to avoid any accidents."

At five fifty.

Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan walked out of the Ping An Hotel shoulder to shoulder, but the faces of both the man and the ghost were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ghost Messenger Lao Fan has a dark face, but Fang Shiming is still very white and a little handsome, but now...

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it seems that Lao Fang was bullied badly last night. His face has turned black." Zhou Deng laughed and teased.

No one tried to stop him. After all, Fang Shiming was not from the headquarters. In fact, he had a hostile relationship with the headquarters for a long time.

It was just a joke, and no one was taking advantage of the situation, which is pretty good.

As soon as the man and the ghost came out, Lu Zhiwen drove the supernatural bus over and stopped at the bus stop outside the Ping An Hotel.

Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan got on the bus one after another, and then disappeared without a trace along with the haunted bus.

Cao Yanhua finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately arranged for the follow-up resettlement work. Zhang Lei and others stayed at the scene for a while, and after confirming that there were no accidents, they also evacuated the scene.

at the same time.

On the second floor of the Peace Hotel branch in Dahai City, the doors of each room were opened one by one.

He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, and Tong Qian came out, and the three of them looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, Tong Qian finally said, "It's almost time. Let's all go back to the store. It's time to go to work, otherwise our wages will be deducted."

"salary?"

Liu Qingqing curled her lips. Among those who are currently working at the Peace Hotel, is there any one who is working there for the so-called salary?

The ghosts and ghost money she usually had in her hands were many times more than a month's salary. Although they were not her own, they were enough to whet her appetite.

She has only one idea, which is to become a boss lady!
As a result, I got drunk when I was drinking yesterday, and I was drunk the whole night. It's really... The "store manager" doesn't know how to seize the opportunity at all.

snort!
Liu Qingqing was too lazy to talk to He Yuelian, so she went downstairs directly and returned to the Peace Hotel from the kitchen.

Tong Qian also left with them, but He Yuelian stayed.

He glanced further down the corridor.

This branch was built according to the specifications of the Peace Hotel, which means that there are only eighteen T-shaped rooms on the second floor. I don't know how many people stayed there last night and how much the room rate can be charged.

But there's no rush.

The reason they woke up so quickly was because they were going to work at the Peace Hotel.

It was the white mist seeds in their minds that awakened them. As for the other people here, they naturally still needed to have a good sleep and would not wake up until at least noon.

This situation was information that suddenly popped up in He Yuelian's mind, but she believed it very much.

Afterwards, she returned to the Peace Hotel from the kitchen, and saw Fang Shiming with a dark face walking into the kitchen holding a pair of ghost scissors.

"This guy, his house was robbed?"

He Yuelian was not aware of Fang Shiming's date with the ghost catcher Lao Fan, so naturally she didn't know what had happened, and she didn't care.

When I came to the living room, Liu Qingqing was talking to Lin Yuan at the cashier counter. Her laughter was clear and pleasant. Even Lin Yuan was laughing in cooperation. They looked very harmonious.

He Yuelian narrowed her eyes and walked forward, "Brother Yuan, Xiao Liu, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, Brother Yuan just said he was going to launch a new drink. It's the same drink we drank at the branch yesterday. This drink can be sold to animal trainers and ordinary people, but the price is different."

Without Lin Yuan saying anything, Liu Qingqing told him all these things.

It’s not that I’m so close to He Yuelian, but I want to tell He Yuelian in this way: my relationship with the “store manager” is much closer than yours.

As a person who has maxed out the palace fighting skills, He Yuelian could see Liu Qingqing's little tricks, and smiled nonchalantly: "Okay, Brother Yuan, I will promote this wine at the branch. I wonder how effective it is and how much it will cost?"

"As for the effect, it can help the body rest and relax, and get a good night's sleep. It can also calm the raging beast, but the time is limited, about half an hour. The exact time depends on the specific situation."

Listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing silently performed a Chinese-to-Chinese translation in their minds.

The first half naturally does not need to be translated, but the content of the second half becomes:

It can suppress the revival of evil spirits, but only for half an hour.

If you continue to use supernatural powers, this time will be shortened.

"As for the price, let's say three dollars a bottle. Of course, this is for animal trainers. If you are a normal person, you can decide the price, but the prerequisite is that you must drink before leaving and you cannot take the alcohol away."

Lin Yuan emphasized the last sentence.

This kind of magical wine can suppress the revival of evil spirits. If ordinary people could buy it in the branch and take it away, the ghost controllers would not use ghosts to exchange commemorative coins themselves. They could just let ordinary people buy the wine directly.

He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing also understood very well.

"By the way, are Lao Li, Lao Yang, Xiao Yang, and Lao Zhang sober now?"

After finishing his business, Lin Yuan started to care about the people who drank yesterday. Seeing He Yuelian shaking her head, he reminded her, "Although everyone is an acquaintance, there are some people I haven't dealt with much. Yesterday's meals and drinks were all treated by the store. Just think of it as promoting the drinks and advertising this new product. But don't forget to pay for their accommodation. You have to pay them. Do you understand?"

He Yuelian's expression turned strange. "Brother Yuan, this wine is so easy to get drunk. Is that part of your plan? After all, it costs one or two hundred yuan for so many people to stay overnight."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Alright, get back to work. If anyone is unwilling to pay... Lao Hei, you and Xiao He go together. Of course, just scare them, don't really bite them."

"Wang!"

After He Yuelian left with the guard dog, the three-headed hellhound, Lao Hei, Liu Qingqing also felt anxious and quickly pulled Lin Yuan's arm and shook it, "Brother Yuan, I also want to open a branch and share your worries like Xiao He did."

"you?"

Lin Yuan's eyes were full of suspicion. "Xiao He's family has its own business, and the branch in Dahai City is her using her family's resources to subsidize the store. Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this, but Xiao Liu, you come from an ordinary family, there's no need to compare yourself with her."

At this moment, Liu Qingqing was extremely grateful that Wang Chaling came to her for help.

Maybe, we can really form an alliance with him.
