I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 528: Noon Transaction, the Disappearing Dadong City

"There are too few wild monsters, which forces us to fight each other and pool resources. But isn't this landlord's advantage too great? This apartment is too troublesome."

In the dim apartment, Wei Jing was running quickly in the corridor alone.

He had originally been travelling with Zhang Lei and Cao Yang. When they reached the outskirts of the city, they did encounter some "wild monsters", but they only killed twenty-eight of them and that was it.

Instead, he ran into three kings from the King's Organization.

The resources of those twenty-eight "wild monsters" were all accumulated on Wei Jing, causing the number of monsters he could suppress to increase to thirty-seven at once.

This wasn't the strongest state he had ever experienced, but it was also terrifying.

However, in this landlord's apartment, this advantage is not so obvious. The ghost domain of the ghost catcher cannot be deployed, and it is obviously suppressed in terms of the strength of the ghost domain.

There must be no less than forty ghosts imprisoned in this apartment, otherwise he would not be able to open his ghost domain.

Then, he and Cao Yang and Zhang Lei were separated in repeated attacks. These corridors and rooms obviously had different passages and mechanisms, making it difficult for them to reunite.

"If that's all, then you're underestimating us."

After suppressing another ghost, Wei Jing's number of suppressions has reached forty-one, and he has a feeling that the suppression effect of the apartment has become smaller.

"It only takes one ghost to break the balance and use the ghost domain of the ghost messenger to suppress this apartment. Wei Jing, Zhang Lei, you two hold on!"

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, Cao Yang was here, and the three kings, the landlord, the manor owner and the missionary, all gathered together.

Obviously, they had made up their minds to put Wei Jing aside first and defeat Zhang Lei and Cao Yang separately.

The disadvantageous environment made Cao Yang face a huge crisis at the first moment. The moment he saw three people appear in front of him, he attacked immediately without any hesitation.

He just squatted on the ground, and an invisible ghost left his back, and his target was the missionary.

The headquarters' information about the King's Organization is still incomplete, and they do not have a clear enough understanding of the supernatural powers possessed by the members of the King's Organization.

But the previous rounds of games gave him a clear understanding of the owner of the manor.

There are too many ghosts surrounding this king. Although suppressing ghosts is scary, it is still unable to suppress the number of ghosts that is so large that it makes people despair.

Let it suppress the landlord?
The final result will only make people despair.

There is insufficient information about the landlord, but since he has this apartment as his home, his strength should not be underestimated. On the contrary, there is no specific information about the missionary.

Attacking a target with unclear intelligence would probably not produce good results, but Cao Yang had no other choice.

In just a moment, the missionary felt a heavy object on his back, which pressed him to the ground. All the bones in his body groaned in pain, as if they could not bear the weight and were about to break.

"You really know how to pick people."

The missionary was shocked and angry. He flipped the old book in his hands frantically. When he turned to one of the pages, the book stopped.

There was a picture on the page where the book stopped, and the picture showed the missionary himself. The next moment, the missionary in the portrait changed. The missionary, who was originally intact, now lay down, with all his bones broken and soft like a long worm.

This was the supernatural attack he suffered in reality, but it appeared in the portrait, and the missionary in reality recovered in just one or two seconds, as if all the damage was transferred to the portrait, like a scapegoat for someone who disappeared frequently.

But this is not a scapegoat.

After doing all this, the missionary obviously had some strange changes. It seemed that part of his consciousness disappeared, and he became more and more indifferent. His body was also particularly cold. He no longer looked like a living person, but more like an evil spirit.

But what shocked and angered him was that this attack did not end there.

After he recovered, he was pressed to the ground by the ghost again. It seemed that the attack of the ghost would not end as long as he died.

"Damn it! Help me now!"

The missionary screamed and continued to seal his own damage, but if he continued like this, he would most likely be dragged into the resurrection of the evil spirit.

"You're still holding back from us. Do you really think you won't die here? Are you unwilling to fight to the death?" The owner of the manor snorted coldly. He didn't believe that the missionary would be so embarrassed facing a man-controlling ghost.

But he didn't say anything.

The King's Organization is a team, but more of a competitor. If there is a real opportunity, they don't mind killing the other side and making the other side their own strength.

Although the experience in the virtual game is exactly the same as in reality, if you die here, you will just return to the real Peace Hotel and there will not be any direct harm.

He could understand why the missionary was reluctant to use too many of his cards.

However, such an action also shows a lack of confidence in one's own strength. Otherwise, if one is a truly strong person, why would he be afraid of letting others know his strength?

“When I’m strong enough, even if everyone knows my methods, they still can’t face me. This is absolute power.” Zhuang Yuan’s voice was low and hoarse.

At the same time, a great sense of oppression came over me.

Cao Yang felt as if transparent walls appeared from all directions, constantly squeezing towards him. In just a blink of an eye, he was completely trapped.

He can't move!
"Invisible ghost? It's really a terrifying power." Cao Yang's eyes flickered. Although he was unable to move now, he did not feel afraid.

"You are so calm. Let me smash your head into pieces."

The manor owner had a black cane in his hand and threw it directly towards Cao Yang.

The movement was not fast, and Cao Yang could have easily dodged it by turning sideways. However, his body was restricted in movement. Facing the attack from the black means, he had no room to dodge at all and was hit by the black cane.

Fortunately, the hit was not on the head, but on the shoulder.

With just a slight touch, a piece of his shoulder disappeared and turned into powder. Moreover, this phenomenon did not stop. Along the wound, his body weathered at an unimaginable speed.

At this speed, in less than ten seconds he would turn into powder and nothing would be left.

Cao Yang's face looked ugly and painful. Where he was hit by the black cane, countless densely packed tiny mouths appeared. These mouths had black teeth, and they were gnawing at his flesh and blood like ants.

It is only because the gnawing speed is too fast and the spirits cannot be seen that this weathering effect is caused.

"If this is all you are capable of, I'm sorry, you will be the first captain to leave this round. But I think you still have a trump card that you haven't used yet. In this situation, there is no need to hold back, right? You don't have to wait for Wei Jing and Zhang Lei to support you. We have to kill you first at the cost of several ghosts, even if it means we can increase their strength a little. It's not without reason."

The hoarse voice of the manor owner sounded, his wrinkled face was cold and serious, and his whole body was stiff in place like a stone pillar, motionless.

The landlord stood silently by, like a background board.

In addition, even the missionary who was pinned to the ground stopped screaming. He seemed to be so angry at the manor owner's ridicule that he no longer hid.

When Cao Yang was seriously injured, the ghost on his back disappeared at some point, and the missionary also recovered to his complete state, as if he had never been injured at all.

It seemed that the three of them were calm and at ease.

There was deep fear in the eyes of the landlord and the missionary when they looked at the owner of the manor, but only the owner of the manor knew that although he had not yet used all his means, he was not far from it.

If this attack fails to kill Cao Yang, although there are other means, they probably won't have much effect.

"So that's how it is. I do have some cards up my sleeve, but I don't know if they can be used. If they can be used, I believe I can still hold on for a while longer."

Cao Yang didn't want to use his last trump card.

In the first few rounds of the game, no matter how dangerous the moment was, he did not use this trump card, simply because he was not sure whether this would be considered as cheating others... or cheating ghosts.

Come to think of it, that ghost was pretty nice to me, and actually introduced me to the "store manager".

Unfortunately, the ghost was too afraid of the "store manager" and never came back again. If I use that power here, what will the ghost choose?

Also, if I use this power here, will it affect reality, or...will it attract it at this time?
Cao Yang was not sure about the situation at all, but now facing the King's Organization, he was unwilling to die like this again. Even if he had to fight hard, he had to fight on, so as not to be looked down upon by the people of the King's Organization.

Fate has its place, trade at noon!

This is the curse of the ghost peddler. He has entrusted his life to the ghost peddler. Before the ghost comes to take his life, it is difficult for him to be killed by other spirits.

Only when the time comes, the ghost carrying the goods will appear and take his life.

If he was really killed by someone in advance, then the ghost selling goods would find the murderer and take his life.

"Let me see who has the last laugh."

The weathering rate slowed down and finally stopped, leaving only half of Cao Yang's body, but fortunately his head was still intact.

At this moment, Cao Yang looked more like a real evil ghost.

Even though half of his body was missing, he still maintained a complete consciousness. He looked at the manor owner and others expressionlessly, "You, what skills do you have? Use them all!"

The manor owner's eyes were full of surprise and fierceness, "Landlord, missionary, if you are still unwilling to take action, then I will go to find the Lord's footsteps." "Understood."

The landlord snorted, and the sound of doors opening suddenly came from the surrounding rooms one after another. Then, one evil spirit after another walked out from the depths of the corridor and surrounded Cao Yang.

The missionary had just taken out a saw from the book. Seeing this, he said in dissatisfaction, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Is this all you have?" the landlord asked.

The missionary snorted coldly and stuffed the saw back into the book. Then he flipped the book again and a blank page appeared. Cao Yang's appearance began to appear quickly on the blank page, but not his entire body. Only a head appeared, and that head had its mouth open, as if it wanted to speak.

As the picture took shape, Wang Chaling's voice suddenly disappeared, as if it had been deprived of it by an invisible supernatural force and he could no longer make any sound.

……

"Ghost peddler?"

Hongming Village, Taiping Ancient Town, outside the ghost street is a normal town, surrounded by people who look normal. They have been living here, including the elderly, children, and many young people.

In this era, transportation is slow, and small towns like this are more lively and vibrant.

There is a Peace Hotel in the small town, but few people visit it on normal days. Many people even subconsciously ignore this hotel when they walk here.

In the restaurant, Lin Yuan was sitting leisurely behind the cashier counter, in front of him was a computer that did not belong to this era, and everything that happened in the apartment was displayed on the computer screen.

"Did Cao Yang finally remember that he had a ghost peddler? In reality, with me as his new plug-in, he ignored the ghost peddler afterwards. Speaking of which, this guy was also a tough character. I wonder if he is still alive now."

Before the time travel, the identity of the ghost peddler remained a mystery.

There are many speculations about its identity. Some say that it was Wu Baoli, the top ghost rider in the Republic of China. But there are several other speculations. Some say that the ghost peddler appeared after Wu Baoli's death and he was resurrected, and he traded according to the rules of killing. Others say that he is not dead yet, and the reason why he is looking for evil ghosts all over the world is because he once lost to Zhang Dong, and he was dissatisfied and wanted to go back to seek revenge.

Others say that the so-called peddler was just Cao Yang's human skin bag.

No matter which speculation it is, it doesn’t matter to Lin Yuan, because for him, the ghost peddler will appear in the end.

"It's a pity that I hadn't woken up when he first appeared, otherwise I wouldn't have let him leave so easily. In this case, I can arrange a plot for Cao Yang so that he can call the ghost peddler over."

"If the Ghost Peddler can really escape after a life-and-death battle with Zhang Dong, then we can use him to test Zhang Dong's strength. But if he is just a so-called human skin bag, it doesn't matter. At least he is terrifying enough, and it's good to use him to complete the puzzle of the Peace Hotel."

"Just like the mysterious pendulum clock in the Wang family's old house, it was made from the dismembered body of the first generation of the Wang family. Although it can only be restarted within half an hour, it is still a good blessing for me."

Now that Lin Yuan has an idea, he won't hesitate any longer.

The so-called virtual games are still based on reality, so they can naturally achieve 100% realism and are not too far away from reality.

The bodies that Cao Yang and others are using to play the game now are actually their own bodies and spirits.

When Cao Yang sold himself to the ghost peddler through an intermediary, Lin Yuan began his own actions, completely cutting off everything in this memory world from reality.

There is no need for a ghost peddler in real life to be so anxious.

From the first time it came to the Peace Hotel and was scared away, it was clear that it was definitely not as scary as himself, so Lin Yuan was really not in a hurry.

What he needs now is to find a new anchor in history.

Ghost Trader is a good choice!

"Before, I was thinking of using Wei Jing or the ghost messenger's body to invade the past, but now, Cao Yang's body is more suitable."

As for virtual games?

All the games are only for the purpose of serving Lin Yuan’s ultimate goal. However, there is still time, so they can be allowed to play some more games. But Cao Yang?
Sorry, he’s insured!
At the same time, Li Jun and Ah Hong, who were guarding outside Dadong City, were looking at everything in front of them with grim faces, just because Dadong City... had disappeared!

That's right, it just disappeared.

Including the white fog ghost domain that shrouded Dadong City, it completely disappeared at a certain moment that they didn't even notice, and Dadong City disappeared without a trace along with it.

The original location of Dadong City, whether it was the tall buildings, the people, or the ghosts, were all gone, leaving only a flat land.

There is no need for them to report the news.

The headquarters was observing Dadong City, Taiping Ancient Town and ZS City at all times. Naturally, when such a big thing happened here, Cao Yanhua and others knew about it first.

"Li Jun, what's the situation at the scene? Has Dadong City really disappeared?" Cao Yanhua's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

The virtual game had already been going on for so many rounds, how could something like this suddenly happen? What on earth had happened? Could it be, could it be...

"I am at the original location of Dadong City. Everything here has indeed disappeared. It does not exist in reality, nor in the ghost realm. Of course, it is also possible that the horror level of my ghost realm is too low, and there is no way to invade it."

The dark green will-o'-the-wisp is burning.

Li Jun has pushed the ghost fire's magical power to the extreme. Even the frozen ghost fire now feels a little restless, but he still does not notice any unknown magical existence here.

The White Fog Ghost Domain is too terrifying.

Li Jun could guess this, but it was this that made him despair.

"Contact the Peace Hotel and the manager immediately! Fortunately, the white fog ghost area in Taiping Ancient Town has not disappeared and is still there. Arrange someone to go over and take a look immediately!"

The news of Dadong City's sudden disappearance spread quickly.

In particular, He Yiner, He Yuelian and Tong Qian were the first to know about it, because they did not live in the Peace Hotel. Only Liu Qingqing lived in the hotel, so they did not know the news for the time being.

But what’s the use of knowing?
"The manager should be fine, I can feel it. If something happens to him, I should be able to notice it at the first time." Tong Qian explained her situation.

Cao Yanhua said: "The current situation may be the most dangerous."

No, it should be said that both possibilities are very dangerous.

If something went wrong with the manager and the Peace Hotel, and he was really resurrected as a fierce ghost, with the power he had displayed, who would be able to imprison him?
If there was no problem with the store manager, it would mean that the situation in Dadong City was due to his own will. So what exactly did he want to do?
Last time.

He covered the entire country with a ghost domain, and pulled in all those who could be pulled into the white fog ghost domain, and conducted a terrifying vote. No one could remember the incident afterwards.

Wei Jing did tell us the result of the vote at that time.

Nothing unusual happened afterwards, which made the headquarters feel relieved. But after just one round of virtual games, Dadong City, which was chosen as the virtual game venue, disappeared?
Does this mean that His attitude towards reality has changed, and He is no longer satisfied with observing everyone behind the scenes. Instead, He is ready to step forward and realize the so-called New Peach Blossom Spring Plan?

At this time, Li Jun also called the Peace Hotel, and the person who answered the call was the twins Xiaoxi, who took turns to keep watch.

"I'm just answering takeout calls here. I only accept food orders."

The twins have long been considered outliers; sleeping is not a necessity for them, nor do they need to use such an inefficient method to restore their energy.

But the night at the Peace Hotel was not easy to endure.

Li Qingzhi, who was wandering around in the white fog with a knife in his hand, was the most frightening person.

Even though I knew he wouldn't swing his knife at anyone at random, that terrifying feeling of intimidation was still the most painful and difficult thing every night.

Now Li Jun calls to find the "store manager"?
He is not here to find the "store manager", he is clearly here to cause trouble.

Xiaoxi didn't indulge him, and Li Jun also said: "Okay, then I'll order a few dishes at random, they're just nine yuan, but I need the store manager to deliver them personally."

"Hold on."

Xiaoxi first went to the room on the second floor to wake up Liu Qingqing and explained the situation. Just as she was about to go upstairs to call Lin Yuan, she was stopped by Liu Qingqing.

"I'll go call them, you stay at the cashier. It's hard to get some business now, someone might call again soon, don't miss it."

Xiaoxi nodded, turned around and went downstairs, without trying to grab the opportunity to meet the "store manager".

"This is a good opportunity. You should dress up well and don't be too anxious. Don't let Him look down on you." Zhang Youhong immediately came up with an idea in her mind.

She has been quite positive recently.

"I know without you telling me that no matter whether Brother Yuan will deliver the food or not, I will wait until this matter is over before trying again. If I can live on the third floor, even if I do nothing, it will be a great improvement in my status and position."

Liu Qingqing herself was not bad in terms of conditions, she was a little beauty, but she was inferior to He Yuelian, a woman who was so perfect that she shouldn't appear in real life.

Just a little dressing up can highlight that fragile beauty.

After changing into a set of pajamas that looked normal but was actually a little tempting, Liu Qingqing went straight to the third floor, "Brother Yuan, there's a business call!"
