I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 516: Pianist's Interview Information, Little Lolita and Monkey

There is nothing wrong with Awu's idea.

No matter how terrifying the pianist is, he is at most a bully. He may not even be as powerful as the manor owner. He is more of a supporting type, not to mention the "store manager" who is trying to scam him.

But he did not consider one issue, that is, whether he had the ability to accomplish his set goals.

When the memory of the strange music was pulled out of his mind, the curse on the pianist ended, and even the old black piano in front of him slowly disappeared.

Ah Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, my method can restrain this king codenamed Pianist, otherwise...what, what's going on?"

The black piano that was supposed to disappear became solid again, and correspondingly, a vague figure appeared in front of the black piano.

He couldn't see what the figure looked like, but the other person had already started playing the piano.

The sound of piano music came again and directly poured into Awu's mind. A feeling of weakness and confusion emerged, as if to pull his consciousness into an unknown space.

The supernatural powers that Awu controls involve consciousness itself. It can even be said that there are some bugs and some supernatural powers that are beyond the scope.

He is able to extract memories, and when he develops the abilities of evil spirits to a certain extent, he can even temporarily extract the ghost's killing patterns, causing the ghost to lose its memory of the killing patterns.

There are also methods of killing used by ghosts, which can be solved by extracting their memories to make them temporarily forget, thus turning them into safe ghosts.

He would go to the Peace Hotel to eat from time to time, and he didn't even need the "store manager" to help him suppress the revival of the evil ghost. He could extract the ghost's memory, make it lose the memory of revival, and become quiet.

In this respect, he and Ye Zhen are really a perfect match.

But he still needs to use this power. It has no passive defense effect, it just has a higher resistance.

Being attacked by the pianist, or even ambushed, left him with neither the time nor the opportunity to extract this memory again.

The pianist would take action now because he had already figured out Awu's strength, so he chose this opportunity. When Awu was most relaxed, he took the initiative to enter the ghost realm of the ghost painting, enter Dahai City, and attack Awu here.

"The controlled ghost painting has changed from a ferocious beast to a docile lamb. This is my best chance. Let me borrow your body to take a good look at what the restaurant looks like and why a strong man like the owner of the manor would surrender to it."

The pianist continued to play the piano. He needed more spirits to invade Awu.

Not only did he drag Awu's consciousness into his own world of consciousness, he also wanted to borrow Awu's body and, in the identity of Awu, get more deeply involved in the affairs of the Peace Hotel.

Everything went very smoothly.

This crossroads was the battlefield he had carefully prepared. With strength comparable to that of a captain, he was going to plot against an ordinary ghost rider who only had conscious spirit. If this didn't work, then he could give up his position as king. Otherwise, he would be ignorant of himself.

"It takes a little while, but that's normal. The ghost this person controls is very special. Although the invasion takes a little while, it's still within the controllable range."

The pianist continued to play the piano, and around him, dozens of small balls of light were flying around, just like the scene in a legend:
The wonderful music attracted the elves of nature, and they danced to it!
However, these small light balls are not natural elves, but the embodiment of the consciousness of the intelligence personnel developed by him through his own supernatural powers.

Here is the world of consciousness.

All people will turn into small balls of light when entering here, so as to avoid exposing their existence as much as possible.

A situation where catching an intelligence officer and then leading to a whole line of clues is impossible to happen to the pianist.

Because all the people are parallel to each other and not subordinate to each other, and are all directly responsible to the pianist, the reason why the supernatural forum caught so many intelligence personnel before was not because there was a problem with the pianist's intelligence system, but because the pianist urgently needed intelligence on the branch, which made them too radical and hasty.

In Dahai City, he also has a lot of intelligence personnel, just like consumables, which are very sufficient.

They are now reporting to the pianist on the situations in various parts of Dahai City. Unfortunately, most of these intelligence personnel are ordinary people. They cannot see what is happening in the ghost world that was specially separated by He Yuelian, so the information they can provide is limited.

But, it's enough.

Although ordinary intelligence agents cannot see what happens in the ghost realm, people will still be dispersed in reality where supernatural events occur, and this cannot be changed.

Because of this, the pianist can get basic information about where paranormal events have occurred and how many places have experienced them.

Through this information, the pianist can also analyze the information he wants.

"I don't have much time left. The nearest supernatural event is only two kilometers away from here. If a ghost rider passes by, he will probably notice that Awu is abnormal."

The pianist played the piano faster and faster. The already harsh sound became even sharper, like the scream of a ghost, giving people a splitting headache.

"what!"

Awu fell to the ground in pain, holding his head and screaming, but even so, he could not wake up from the world of consciousness.

The body's self-protection program has long been ineffective under the influence of supernatural powers.

"almost."

The pianist was silently calculating the progress of the successful invasion, but suddenly, another voice came from the side, "The piano is not played like this."

who?

The pianist was startled and looked to his side in disbelief, and found a young man sitting on a bench on the side of the road not far away, staring at him with interest.

Seeing this face, the pianist quickly searched in his mind, but could not find any information about the other party, and he became more alert.

"This person was able to quietly invade my world of consciousness without me noticing. His strength must be far superior to mine. This is trouble."

The pianist secretly groaned inwardly, but was not particularly worried.

With his strength, if he really wanted to run, it would be easy for him to escape, and no one here could kill him.

"Sir, do you have any comments?"

As the pianist asked, his performance became faster and faster.

"Your piano skills are actually pretty good. I just listened to it for a while. It sounded good at the beginning, like a drug that made people addicted. Unfortunately, it became a little anxious at the end, and it was very harsh."

Lin Yuan commented very seriously.

That’s right, the person who came was Lin Yuan. His words made the pianist even more shocked, because according to Lin Yuan, he had already arrived when the pianist and Awu were fighting, but what about it?

After such a long time, and being in his own ghostland, the pianist didn't notice anything at all. What does this mean?
The pianist's heart was getting heavier and heavier. He decisively pressed down the keys with both hands and ignored Lin Yuan. He even gave up on A Wu, who was almost in his grasp, and prepared to escape.

The reason he has survived until now is that he is smart enough and cautious enough.

First find out this person's background, and then find an opportunity to retaliate, or even launch a sneak attack. It is a very simple thing, and he has done it countless times before.

But this time?
There are no exceptions.

The black piano disappeared, along with the pianist in front of the piano, and everything here returned to peace again, as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on? Was I... just dreaming?"

Awu suddenly opened his eyes, only to find himself standing motionless on the street. Everything he had just experienced seemed like a dream, an illusory and unreal experience.

"No, this is not a dream! The pianist really followed the curse and came to me. And his strength is so terrifying?"

When Awu thought of what had just happened, he felt his hair stand on end. Without caring about anything else, he immediately took out a business card, which was also a business card of the Peace Hotel.

Supernatural power surged in, and white mist poured out from the business card, wrapping Awu in it.

The next moment, he arrived at the Peace Hotel, ignoring the "Welcome" from the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua, and went straight into the hotel.

The restaurant was crowded and filled with the smell of alcohol.

Just smelling it relaxed Ah Wu's tense nerves a lot. Resisting the urge to sit down and have a drink, he walked to the cashier and asked anxiously, "Is Boss Lin here?"

As soon as he said this, before Liu Qingqing could answer, he felt a hand tapping him, which made him feel very annoyed. He waved his hand and pushed it away, "Stop making trouble, let's talk about business."

But the hand reached out again and kept tapping his shoulder.

"I said, do you not understand what people are saying or..."

Ah Wu turned his head in anger, but what he saw was a monkey face covered with golden hair. A word popped up in his mind subconsciously:

A hairy-faced, thunder-mouthed man...

"I say, can't you really see me?" A resentful girl's voice came from under the monkey face.

When Awu came to his senses and looked down, he discovered that there was a little girl next to him who was not much taller than his waist, and on her back was the monkey.

"I'm sorry." Awu seemed to have just remembered that he had pushed someone away when he came in just now.

If he were a normal adult, he would apologize and be polite, but he would never feel guilty. However, facing such a little Lolita, the guilt in his heart surged out like a tide.

This little girl looked like she was only about ten years old, but she was carrying a monkey that was bigger than her. The so-called monkey was actually a ghost!
In other words, this little Lolita had encountered supernatural events and even controlled evil spirits before she even reached adulthood.

How painful and sad was that painful process?

Moreover, in the Peace Hotel, the degree of horror of the evil spirits can basically be distinguished by their size and species.

This monkey is not only large in size, but also looks like the type that is not easy to mess with. It is obviously a very scary ghost. The pain of controlling it will be more dangerous and painful than that of a less scary ghost.

For a moment, Awu's eyes were filled with pity.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's that look in your eyes? I'm telling you, don't try to lie to me. Be careful or I'll ask Xiao Jin to beat you to death!" The little Loli seemed to be frightened and clenched her fists in an attacking posture.

The monkey on her back, called "Xiao Jin", was now baring its teeth, and a strong sense of oppression came over her.

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I really have something to do, and I didn't lie to you..."

Awu hurriedly explained, but he was experienced in dealing with children, just like when he treated Ye Zhen. He knew that children at this time would not listen to explanations, so ignoring him would be the best option.

Sure enough, when he was very sincere... and fooled around with her for a few words, and went to talk to Liu Qingqing again, the little Lolita secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Xiao Liu, I'm going to have a drink."

"Children are not allowed to drink alcohol. Xiao An, pour her a glass of water." Liu Qingqing had a good impression of the little Lolita and automatically put herself in the shoes of an elder.

"Sister Xiao Liu!!!"

The little girl wanted to act like a spoiled child, but it was useless. Seeing Liu Qingqing's "heartless" look, she could only stomp her feet, turn around and follow Xiao An to find a table, "Sister Xiao An, can I really not drink? I'll just try a drop, and I won't let Xiao Liu Qing know..."

Hearing the noise, Wu looked back in surprise and asked in confusion: "This little girl...seems a little different from us. I mean, it's not just her age."

Ghost riders have experienced the pain of controlling evil spirits and desperate supernatural events. Even the most naive children, as long as they can survive, do not necessarily need to control evil spirits and will become mature in a very short time.

But this little girl is clearly controlling such a scary ghost, yet she still has the mentality of a child. How is this possible?
Could it be that, just like what he did to Ye Zhenyou, someone blocked her memory?
"This child was sent here by her father. We spent three yuan to ask the store manager to help solve her psychological problems. She is now what she is now. However, her condition is a little unstable and she needs to be checked from time to time."

Liu Qingqing didn't say much, but just these few short sentences were enough for Awu to imagine a touching story of family love.

But he did not forget why he came here. "Is Boss Lin here? I want to recommend a pianist to him. He is very talented."

pianist?
Liu Qingqing's eyes suddenly became strange, and then she looked behind Awu.

Awu only felt a wave of resentment as if it were real. He quickly turned his head and saw a robot standing behind him.

On its display screen, a pair of hostile eyes stared at him from an expressionless face. "Who can be called a pianist? Is his piano skill better than mine?"

Xianglan clenched her fists.

In order to stay in the Peace Hotel instead of being sent back to the Caesar Hotel, she kept company with evil spirits all day long, fed them and became a ghost keeper. Every day in the Peace Hotel, except for playing the piano occasionally when guests ordered music, she spent the rest of her time helping Xiao An and Xiao Xi to clean up, and she never had a quarter of an hour to spare.

For this reason, she was able to stay - at least that's what she thought, and that it was her hard work that touched the heart of the "store manager".

But now, someone is actually trying to introduce someone to snatch my job?

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot!

"Don't get me wrong, what I mean is..."

Ah Wu hurriedly explained. He also knew that Xianglan's status in the Peace Hotel was far lower than that of the four chefs, but after all, she was a formal employee of the Peace Hotel.

Not to mention regular employees, even a temporary employee or even a dog is enough to make others treat them with courtesy and respect.

This is the Peace Hotel, no, it should be said that this is the influence brought by the manager’s strength.

But as soon as he started to explain, Liu Qingqing interrupted him, "You recommended someone for the interview, but didn't you bring anyone here?"

Ah Wu was silent for a while, then took out the memory film from his arms, "This is the interview of that person... Actually, this person is codenamed the King of Pianists, with terrifying strength, and he attacked me in Dahai City. So I thought about giving him to the store manager. I believe the store manager should be very happy to collect a new supernatural power."

The "store manager" was obviously not here, so Wu told the truth.

The main purpose was to take this opportunity to explain to Xianglan, and Xianglan understood what he meant. After a cold snort, she turned around and continued to work harder.

Just then a customer ordered a song, and she quickly responded. Then she looked at Awu provocatively, sat down on the small podium in the middle of the hall, sat in front of the piano, and began to play her own song.

Ah Wu: “…”

Why are you all acting like children?
"Okay, I'll show it to Brother Yuan."

Liu Qingqing agreed very readily, called Xiaoxi to help watch the cash register, and then walked upstairs quickly.

This action surprised Ah Wu, and he obviously didn't understand why Liu Qingqing was so excited.

That's a good thing, though.

"The pianist's supernatural power is very strange. Even He Yuelian's ghost paintings cannot detect his existence. Consciousness-based supernatural powers are still too dangerous. Unless he walks in front of He Yuelian and asks He Yuelian to summon ghosts, he will not be affected much at all." Awu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Liu Qingqing had already walked up to the third floor in a few steps and knocked on the door. "Brother Yuan, have you taken a break? There is someone here who is interviewing and brought the interview... record."

The door opened, Lin Yuan glanced at the film in Liu Qingqing's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work and making a special trip."

"It's not hard. I'm just serving Brother Yuan." Liu Qingqing showed a sincere and sweet smile.

But the only response she got, apart from Lin Yuan's sweet smile, was the closed, cold door, which completely froze the smile on her face.

"Compared to this kind of care in life, what he really needs is a business partner?" Liu Qingqing murmured in a low voice.

In her consciousness, Zhang Youhong rolled her eyes, indicating that she was not online and did not hear the question.

……

"Finally got rid of it. Who is that person?"

In the storage room of a hotel close to the intersection, an old black piano was quietly placed there, and a blurry figure was sitting in front of the piano with a puzzled look on his face.

"There shouldn't be such a scary person in Dahai City. Although the captain here is not weak, it's within my reach. There's no way he can be that strong! Could it be... the store manager? No, no, I've seen the store manager's photo. If I really meet him, I'll definitely recognize him."

News about the Peace Hotel and its manager was flying everywhere, and it was no longer a secret on the Ghost Hunter website.

There are even rumors that when the store manager’s photo was first circulated, he was attacked by the president of the WeChat Moments, Fang Shiming, through the media.

But you can tell at a glance that this is fake news, after all, Fang Shiming is now working at the Peace Hotel.

If he had really attacked the store manager, why would the store manager be so magnanimous and use a guy who had attacked him to prepare the ingredients for him? Wasn't he afraid that the ingredients might be poisoned?

Even if the store manager cannot be poisoned, what if the poison spreads to the customers in the store and affects the store's business?
Nowadays, foreign ghost hunters have gone from sneering at the news about the Peace Hotel to being half-believing and half-doubting, and will naturally study the relevant information.

"But if it's not the store manager, then who could it be?"

The pianist murmured to himself. He was very relaxed about his situation. Even though he was in the world of ghost paintings, he was not worried at all about being discovered by He Yuelian.

This is not his arrogance, but proof of fact.

"It's me, you're not mistaken."

The calm voice coming from behind made the pianist feel cold all over. But he had obviously abandoned his mortal body long ago and became a ghost living in the ghost piano. How could he have such a physical feeling?

Puzzled, the pianist turned around and saw the unfamiliar face. "You... are the store manager?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the pianist's feeling suddenly changed.

The appearance of the man in front of him had obviously not changed at all, but in the pianist's perception, he had actually become the "manager" of the Peace Hotel.

This phenomenon is very strange and obviously involves supernatural powers.

only……

"You...could it be him?" The pianist became even more alert.

There are two forms of "store manager". One is a "store manager" with normal cognition. In his cognition, all supernatural things will be "de-supernaturalized". Even evil spirits will become abnormal and turn into various animals.

The other form is the complete store manager, who is no longer a human being, but a god-like being, called:
衪！
The Lord and God recognized by the manor owner is "Him".

But not everyone can meet him. Those who have seen him are extremely rare. Could I be one of those few people?

For a moment, the pianist suddenly felt honored.
