I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 537: Qin Lao steals chickens, despair in front of the air wall of Hongming Village map
"What? Taiping Ancient Town has also disappeared?!!!"

In the headquarters meeting room, Cao Yanhua could no longer sit still.

The disappearance of the entire Dadong City caused a great shock, so he had to send Li Jun and others to provide support. However, the cause of the disappearance of Dadong City has not been found, and whether there is any danger has not been confirmed. The Taiping Ancient Town that Li Jun and others entered also disappeared.

What exactly does He want to do?
"Is it possible that he has approved Zhang Xianguang's plan, and took advantage of tonight's virtual game to truly launch the New Peach Blossom Spring plan, pulling Taiping Ancient Town and Dadong City into that world?" Zhao Jianguo made a guess, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely.

Shen Liang immediately retorted, "Dahai City is still there. Although it is still in the ghost realm of ghost painting with pink peach blossom rain, it still exists. There are no restrictions on entry and exit, and there is no impact on communication and network. Even satellite signals can be viewed directly. If he wants to implement the New Peach Blossom Spring Plan, there is no reason why Dahai City would not move."

The two people have different opinions, but what they say seems to make sense.

Cao Yanhua slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "What I want to hear is not your arguments, but how to solve the current problem... Forget it, we can't solve it with our current strength, but at least we have to find out what happened. Professor Wang, Tong Qian, Guo Fan, could you go to the Peace Hotel again and ask the manager about the situation?"

Since there is no way to get him out by ordering takeout, I can just go to the store and ask. There are three people at the headquarters who are employees of the Peace Hotel and are qualified to find him.

Of course, what we are actually looking for is just the "store manager", but as long as we understand the other party's attitude, that is enough.

"The Peace Hotel is very dangerous at night. Even employees like us cannot enter easily, otherwise we may be attacked." Guo Fan said with a dark face, which was also a disguised refusal.

Zhao Jianguo frowned and said, "I know the situation at the Peace Hotel. Private fights between employees are not allowed. At most, they will be affected by the White Mist Ghost Domain."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

If they are worried about the impact of the white fog ghost domain, there is no need to worry about that at all, because they have been invaded by the white fog seeds and there is no need to worry about this or that.

Even if the impact continues to deepen, it will only accelerate a certain state. There is no possibility of turning back, and there is no need to turn back.

Guo Fan's expression suddenly became somewhat gloomy, and he stared at Zhao Jianguo with eyes like a pair of poisonous snakes.

Although Zhao Jianguo is a captain of the headquarters' switchboard team, he is just an ordinary person. Being stared at by Guo Fan in this way, he felt uncomfortable and even dangerous.

tread!tread!
"Okay." Tong Qian stepped forward and blocked Guo Fan's sight, while Guo Fan snorted coldly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Tong Qian then explained, "Captain Zhao, Guo Fan is actually not wrong. The Peace Hotel at night is completely different from the daytime. The manager has fallen asleep, and the Peace Hotel is engulfed by white fog. In this state, even if there are some conflicts between employees, he will abide by the rules and will not stop them on the spot. At most, he will impose some punishment based on the actual situation the next day."

After a pause, she continued, "At night, Li Qingzhi would return to the Peace Hotel and wander around the store. If the employees were resting in their rooms, or doing their night shifts or work as arranged by the store manager, then naturally the killing pattern would not be triggered and they would not be attacked. But if they acted on their own, the consequences might not be too good."

This situation has never happened, but it is a fact that all employees are very clear about.

If you were really targeted by Li Qingzhi, with his terrifying strength, it is estimated that no one could survive his rusty hatchet.

If they go to the Peace Hotel now, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

"So we have no choice but to continue making phone calls? Isn't this a useless effort? Professor Wang, what do you think?" Cao Yanhua had a huge headache.

Ever since Wang Xiaoming entered the Peace Hotel, he has basically not participated in any work related to the Peace Hotel, but this time, there is obviously no way out.

Wang Xiaoming shook his head. He was just a human, not a god.

If the headquarters could really meet all their requests, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Even their consciousness is starting to doubt whether someone has tampered with them.

Cao Yanhua sighed, staring blankly at the video, and murmured in a low voice: "His appearance has indeed restricted the increasingly frequent supernatural events, but his existence itself is the greatest danger!"

This is not just a random feeling of Cao Yanhua.

The significance of the existence of Peace Hotel has become increasingly important. It can enhance the strength of ghost riders, and it is becoming more and more "popular", allowing more ghost riders to taste the hot dishes of Peace Hotel, but it is just a negligible impact.

What can really influence the world now is the continuously produced commemorative coins, or the money to buy lives!

Because the money for buying life is more useful than the money for ghosts, basically after a ghost controller has imprisoned a ghost, he will go to the Peace Hotel to exchange it for the money for buying life.

Being able to spend money at the Peace Hotel is secondary. What’s more important is being able to save your life!

As long as the source of the supernatural event can be found and the money to buy the life can be sent out, this supernatural event can basically be solved.

Also because there is a lot of money produced for buying lives, most of the supernatural events can be properly and quickly resolved.

However, the evil ghosts that were solved by the money spent on buying their lives finally "leaped over the dragon gate" and entered the ghost lake and fish pond of the Peace Hotel, becoming the shrimp soldiers and crab generals inside, which in disguise enhanced the power and foundation of the Peace Hotel.

In the long run, this doesn't seem to be a good thing, but at least it takes the present into consideration.

However, the Peace Hotel, which had always been very quiet and at most borrowed one or two cities for virtual games at night, has now wiped these two cities off the map.

There is also Dahai City, which has always been shrouded in a rain of pink peach blossoms. It looks extremely beautiful and is sought after by countless people, but it also has great hidden dangers.

No one knows whether the seemingly beautiful picture will suddenly turn into a murderous intent!
Don't say it's impossible. Now Dadong City and Taiping Ancient Town have disappeared. This change is too sudden. With the series of abnormalities, does it mean that the Peace Hotel, the "store manager", and his attitude towards the present are also undergoing tremendous changes?
Is He ready to extend His power into reality and begin to interfere with reality?
He is no longer satisfied with stirring up trouble in the spiritual world, but wants to make his voice heard in reality to prove his existence?
These issues are all important. In comparison, the disappearance of Li Jun and others becomes less important?
The meeting room fell into silence. After a long while, Cao Yanhua stood up and said, "Okay, you guys take a break first. I'll go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

"Shouldn't we go back and rest? What can we do in this situation?" Guo Fan seemed a little dissatisfied. He was called out of bed in the middle of the night.

Do you really think that he, a ghost rider, doesn't need to rest?
He is not an outlier!

Wang Xiaoming said calmly, "He went to see Mr. Qin. He was afraid that we might do something bad, or that he might tip us off because of his affection for him, so he left us here."

This sentence made Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang, who were also in the meeting room, look a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Guo Fan knew that Wang Xiaoming was telling the truth, and his expression changed slightly as he asked, "Is he planning to ask Mr. Qin to come out and take action against the boss?"

As he spoke, the aura around him became cold and gloomy, as if he was about to take action.

Even Tong Qian, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have a similar change. This dangerous situation made Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang extremely nervous, and they secretly complained in their hearts:
Sure enough, they were affected by the White Mist Seed and would become so impatient and even hostile whenever anything involved the Peace Hotel, even if there was just the slightest sign of taking action!

These people are really useless!

However, wasn’t Wang Xiaoming’s performance a little too calm? Could it be that he successfully fought against the influence of the White Mist Seed with his own calmness and wisdom?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang were suddenly filled with hope.

The headquarters has been conducting research on the impact of the White Mist Seed, hoping to eliminate it, but unfortunately, this research has not made much progress, and no results have been produced.

If Wang Xiaoming can become the first case, it will be great news for the headquarters.

At that time, we can even send people in batches to the Peace Hotel to plant white mist seeds and take advantage of this terrifying shelter with an inextinguishable sense of protection for free!
The two couldn't help but get excited at the thought of this situation. However, the following conversation made them fall into disappointment and helplessness.

"Wang Xiaoming, since you have thought of it, why don't you stop it? Or have you betrayed your boss?" Guo Fan's eyes became dangerous when he looked at Wang Xiaoming.

It seems that once Wang Xiaoming has any ulterior motives, he will take action directly to eliminate this traitor.

Faced with this murderous intent that seemed to be real, before Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang could speak and send people to protect Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoming said calmly: "I just know that Mr. Qin will not agree."

Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "That's right, Mr. Qin goes to the Peace Hotel three times a day. I don't believe he goes there voluntarily, and he just goes there for a walk and comes back. The boss is really amazing, no one can beat him! The Peace Hotel will eventually be developed everywhere in the future and become the world's largest hotel."

The largest hotel in the world?

Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang looked at each other, both with deep helplessness and... despair.

At this time, Cao Yanhua had already arrived at the yard where Old Qin lived, and Old Qin was also in the yard, leaning on a recliner to rest.

At this time, Old Qin was even older, with age spots all over his body. He was extremely thin, and looked like he had one foot in a coffin.

Hearing the noise, Old Qin opened his eyes slightly and said, "Here they come."

"Well, Mr. Qin, how is your health recently?" Cao Yanhua walked in and forced a smile.

Old Qin shook his head. "No need to exchange pleasantries. I am just a bag of old bones now. I don't have many days left to live."

Cao Yanhua said, "How could that be? There are two elderly people living in the Peace Hotel. Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua are more than ten or twenty years older than you, Old Qin. I think they are in good condition. Old Qin, you are still so... young, you can definitely live for another few decades." Old Qin shook his head, "Don't say any more self-deception. You don't know what they rely on to live until now. I know my situation very well. If I didn't go to the Peace Hotel, I would have lived for at most half a year, and it would be impossible to extend it."

Cao Yanhua opened his mouth, but for a moment he was unable to speak.

Old Qin smiled and said, "I know why you came, but it's a pity. His strength is far above mine. It's an abyss that I can't look directly at. Besides, he has no ill intentions this time. He just wants to try something different. Don't worry."

Cao Yanhua breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

He got an answer, although he was not sure whether this answer was 100% correct, but Cao Yanhua was not willing to ask any further questions.

He wanted to bring the answer back to reassure everyone.

Otherwise, with people's hearts in turmoil, he was worried that everyone's attitude towards the Peace Hotel would become... completely giving up resistance.

The yard became quiet again, but at some point, a faint white mist emerged from the yard, covering the surroundings and wrapping up Old Qin.

"Why don't you resist?"

Lin Yuan's voice came from the white mist. After hearing it, Old Qin smiled and said, "Compared to your strength, I am still far behind. Resistance is just a waste of effort. I am old and dying soon. So let it be."

"If you were really as carefree as you say, you wouldn't have taken advantage of my distraction to connect with the future again." Lin Yuan snorted coldly, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction, "It seems that I should leave some marks here, so that you won't be like this time again."

Qin Laodao: "There is nothing I can do. The sudden disappearance of Dadong City and Taiping Ancient Town, as well as the strange aura connected to the past, make me very uneasy. So I'm betting that you are doing something very important right now and can't pay attention to me."

"Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?" Lin Yuan asked.

Qin Laodao: "I am afraid, very afraid. But if you really implement the so-called new Peach Blossom Spring plan, then everything will be meaningless. Whether you win or lose, the result will be the same."

"I see. Well, let's stop here today. But this is the only chance. There won't be a next time. I hope you got enough information."

Lin Yuan's voice faded away, but the white mist around him did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to condense into fog balls the size of a fingernail, like a seed, full of vitality.

Then, the seed turned into a ray of light and sank into the center of Old Qin's eyebrows.

Old Qin did not resist, but just silently felt his own state, and suddenly laughed, "Actually, I also hope that you can succeed, but the premise is that you have to find a real way."

No threats, only expectations.

In Taiping Ancient Town, Lin Yuan snorted coldly and said to himself in dissatisfaction: "This old Qin is really just like Zhang Dong. He clearly knows that I can help them prolong their lives, but he just ignores me. One of them is just pretending to be an ostrich. Apart from the punishment for failure last time, he never came into contact with my ghost domain. Even when he came to the Peace Hotel, he just stopped and left with the car. The other one is even more ruthless. He directly sent me an invitation letter to invite me to attend his first seven days of mourning. For this kind of ceremony, is there anyone who sends an invitation letter by himself? Don’t you really want to take me away in one go?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat unhappy with Old Qin and Zhang Dong.

"But it doesn't matter. Do you really think that everything will be over if you die? What I want is never the body you control, but the spirit you control. If you are still alive, I would be too embarrassed to attack you directly because of your past achievements."

Just like Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua.

Although their strength is what Lin Yuan needs, even if they move into the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuan is only borrowing their supernatural powers and will not even cause any harm to them.

From this perspective, Lin Yuan is really good.

But Zhang Dong and Qin Lao are two tough guys, maybe they are made of titanium alloy?
"This time, because we were looking for a medium to go to the past, Old Qin took advantage of the opportunity and exchanged some information with Old Qin in the future. But it doesn't matter. I will be able to sense it instantly next time. As long as he dares to continue, I can try to see if I can maintain this channel and even go to the future..."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't do anything. Given his physical condition, he can only live for another five months at most. When he dies, the ghost will naturally be mine!"

"And there is Zhang Dong..."

Lin Yuan was very envious of Zhang Dong's supernatural powers, but he always stuck to his principles and would not attack a living person without reason.

Of course, Zhang Dong’s strength is also a very important reason.

"What a pity. I'm not the protagonist of a hot-blooded anime, so I don't have the mindset to fight against top masters. If it was Ye Zhen, it would be possible. But where is this kid Ye Zhen? After he came out of the landlord's apartment last time, you said he went to challenge other masters and improve himself. He hasn't come back in such a long time. Could he be trapped? Besides, Awu hasn't looked for me either?"

Lin Yuan always felt something was strange, but he just thought about it for a moment and then put it out of his mind.

Just a Ye Zhen.

Lin Yuan's attention returned to Taiping Ancient Town.

The ghosts here are real...Except for He Liansheng's father, all other ghosts are real. If they exert their full strength and act freely, Yang Jian, Li Jun, Ah Hong, Lu Zhiwen, and Fang Shiming may not be able to resist, and there will definitely be casualties.

Unlike now, Lin Yuan influenced them through the white mist, allowing them to keep their strength within a certain range.

The fighting was intense, even tragic. Yang Jian and others were left with scars of varying sizes, but there were no deaths.

"Lu Zhiwen, Lu Zhiwen, do you still want to wait?"

……

"We can't go on like this. We have to leave here, otherwise we will probably be kept here. I don't need to tell you the consequences of staying here, right?"

Fang Shiming's face looked extremely ugly.

He was in an uncomfortable state now. The ghost coffin on his back had been pushed to the extreme, so that the pressure on his body increased greatly.

If it weren't for the terrifying physical enhancement of the core ghost he controlled, he might have been crushed by now, but even so, the results he got were not particularly good.

The shop owners across the street can only fit three people at most in their ghost coffins at a time. If there is one more person, the coffin will be squeezed out.

Moreover, even if three people were put in, it wouldn't take long for them to crawl out of the ghost coffin. It seemed that the ghost coffin didn't have much effect on them.

Fang Shiming knew clearly that it was not that it had no effect, but that these people were too terrifying and there were so many of them that a ghost coffin could not contain them all.

If it was just to fit one person in it it would be barely acceptable, but now there are so many people attacking them, what would be the point of fitting one person in there?

It would be better to use this method to continuously detain those targets that pose a greater threat and let them temporarily withdraw from the battlefield for a period of time. Even if it is only half a minute, it can greatly affect the battle situation.

Yang Jian and Li Jun are still working together.

The ghost eye, ghost domain and burning ghost fire also have a very strong suppressive effect, which can affect most shop owners and leave them no time to take care of other things.

Ah Hong was standing by, ready to touch up Li Jun's makeup at any time, otherwise Li Jun's face would have completely melted and he would have been revived into a real ghost, a real...human skin lantern.

The time when Yang Jian was putting on makeup was also the most difficult time, because Li Jun had to temporarily withdraw from the battle.

Even if Yang Jian had a coffin nail in his hand, in front of so many terrible shop owners, no matter how terrifying the effect of the coffin nail was, it was only one nail.

But these people were not willing to take threats, so he had no way of using the coffin nails to intimidate them.

Lu Zhiwen took the opportunity to attack in the ghost realm, and also helped Yang Jian and others to brush the "protective shield" to prevent them from falling into despair because of a momentary mistake.

"We should leave indeed, but we can't get out of this white fog now. We must think of other ways!" Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

From the moment they were attacked, they had already thought about retreating.

However, they were stuck at the edge of the white fog, which was the location of the air wall on the virtual game·Hongming Village·Taiping Ancient Town map, and had no way to return to reality.

It's easy to get in, but hard to get out!

"We need a way to break through the boundary between the supernatural and reality, otherwise we won't be able to leave." Fang Shiming shouted, "Lu Zhiwen, what are you waiting for? You are the driver of the ghost bus now, so you must have a way to summon it. Why don't you call it over quickly? Only the ghost bus can easily break through the boundary between the supernatural and reality. If you don't do it, are you going to die here with us?"
